 BirmiagAam, Oct. Is, 1851. Dr. M. WoOdworth.-Dear Sir-I feel it due to you that publicly express my gratitude for the great relief which my wife has expe- rienced by the use of your SaTsaparilla. My wife has been sick for two yoars with a pulmonary difficulty, which has increased for the past year, 50 that she was unable to be around the house, and by using two bottles of your medicine, she has been greatly relieved. Her appetite is now good, her general health Is greatly improved and all this has been done by your SaTsaparilla. This is what have seen in my own family, which gives me all confidence in the medicine, and my neigh bors have also been greatly benefited by the use of the same. JOHN R, ToMLINsoN, 7.

THE LITTLE GRAY GOSSIP.

Soon after Cousin Cons marriage, we
were invited to stay for few weeks with
the newly married couple. during the fes-
tive winter season. So away we went with
merry hearts. the clear frosty air and
pleasant prospects before us invigorating
our spirits, as we took our places inside the
good old mail coach, which passed through
the town Of P---. where cousin Con resi-
ded-for there were no railroads then.-
Never was there kinder or more genial
soul than cousin Con; and David Danvers,
the good man, as she laughingly called
him, was, If possible, kinder and more ge.

stantial comforts, and delighted to see their
friends in a sociable, easy way and to
make them snug and cosy-our arrival be-

CORAL AND CORAL ISLANDS.

Perhaps Of all the agents that are grad
ually and silently effecting changes the
most universal and important is the in
sect which produces coral. The South
Pacific and the Indian Oceans, and the
Arabian Gulf, present US with various ex-
amples of its stupendous, powers; and
others are daily making their appearance
upon the surface Of the sea, in the shape
OF reefs and islands. which bewilder and
impede the navigator; who, guided the
charts Of his predecessors is astonished to
encounter shadows and soundings, and
even dry lands, and trees, and animals.
and human beings, in places where hei
expected to find nothing but fathomless
depths and unbroken horizon. If we re-
fleet that coral islands are often discover
ed in isolated masses in the deepest part
Of the ocean, we shall obtain some faint
idea Of the vas; quantity Of material which
enters into their structure, and Of the mag
nitude OF the labours Of those insects which
are the instruments of their formation
The coral island must have its foundation
in the bottom Of the ocean, from whence
the little molluscous architects must raise
itin layers till it reaches tire surface Of the
waves, even should the deep be- thousands

Tho Compensation OF Clerks.

The following amendment to the civil and di-
plomatic bill was yesterday considered and agreed
to. 1t is inserted Immediately after the clause
which gives an advance of twenty per cent. to all
clerks whose annual compensation does not ex-
coed 81 200:
"All whose annual compensation exceeds
81 200 and is less than $50, 900 shall receive an
increased compensation of 10 per cent, and those
whose salary amounts to exceed So, 600 shall
received additional compensation of 5 per
cent. ; Provided, further, That the increase of
salary given by this section shall not extend be-
yond the present fiscal year without further le-
| gislatisD."
The further consideration of the bill was then
postponed until to-day.
| This is well. The Intellgencer of this morn
ing, however, justly expresses its regret that a
proposition made yesterday to extend the boon
of little additional pay to the clerks in the City
Post Office was rejected. Had the honorable Sem
ators seen, as we have year after year, those
faithful employees toiling through the day and
sweating through the night, in the faithful per-
formance of their never ending still begin
ming Z" labors, Sunday even bringing no rest to
them, wo think that the generous spirit which
has ever actuatcd the Senate would have made
| them also sharers in its bounty"

The Liquor Law.

A majority of the newspapers of the North ap-
pear to be much averse to this law; and endcayor
to show up facts to disparageit. The Providence
Herald says:
"Business at the Police Office is very brisk at
present. and many cases of revelling and intoxi-
cation are brought before the Court daily. Sell
dom has police business been as brisk as at pres
ent, when no liquor is sold and the Maine Law
enforced"
The English of this of course is, that the law
is secretly violated. 1t is plain, therefore, that
the violators or the law must yield. 1t required
contest to enact the law. Let that be continued
until its enforcement is secured ave work by
wit, and not by witchCraft; and wit depends on
dilatory time!"

The CATAwBA GRAPE.-The origin of the Ca
tawba grape is given in biography of Nicholas
Longworthy, of Cincinnati :-"In letter to me,
(Mr Longworthy) Major Adlum says: Il found
this grape in the garden Of German, near
Washington. Of its origin, know nothing. In
introducing this grape to public notice, have
done my country greater service than l should
have done had paid the national debt. | en-
tirely concur in this opinion. Most grapes do
not mpart,the aroma to the wine, but new
one is formed by fermentation, which leads for
egn wine merchants to favor their wines. The
wine from the Catawba grape retains the aroma
and muscadne flavor, in all its stages"

The Pardon of Drayton and s.yrcs.

"The Boston Liberator, published by the noto-
rious Garrison, copies the National lntelligen-

unspeakably gratifying announcement The
Liberator adds: 1t is privately said that to

in the cause Of bleeding humanity, whose near

The Liberator had no need to copy the lntelli-

and it did so without uttering word of disap-
probation. Perhaps the Union, too, had been
