GUM ARABIc.-In Morocco, about
the middle of November, that is, af-
ter the rainy season which begins in
July, a gummy juice exudes sponta-
neously from the trunk and principal
branches Of the acacia tree. In a.
bout fifteen days it thickens in the
furrow down which it runs, either in
vermicular Cor worm) shape, or com
monty assuming the form of oval and
round tears, about the size of a pig
cons egg, of different colors, as they
belong to the white or red gum tree.
About the middle of December, the
Moors encamp on the borders of the
forest, and the harvest lasts six weeks.
The gum is packed in very large
sacks of leather, and brought on the
backs of bulocks and camels to Ger.
tain ports, where it is sold to the
French and English merchants. 1t
is highly nutrictous. During the
whole time Of harvest, Of the journey,
and of the fair, the Moors of the des.
ert live almost entirely upon it, and
experience proves that six ounces Of
gum are sufficient for the support of d
man twenty-four hours.

The SLEEP OF ARCTIC PLANTs.-
NJ. Seeman, the naturalist of Kelet's
Arctic expedition, states a curious
fact respecting the condition of the
vegetable world during the the long
day of the Arctic Summer. Although
the sun never sets while it lasts,
plants make no mistake about the
time when, if it be not night, it ought
to be- but regularly as the evening
hours approach, and when midnight
sun is several degrees above the h0rl-
zon, droop their leaves and sleep, G.
ven as they do at sunset in more ia.
vored ciimes. "If man," observes NJ.
Seeman, "should ever reach the pole,
and be undecided which way to turn
when his compass has become slug
gish, his timc>piece out of order, the
plants which he may happen to meet
will show him the way; their sleep
ing leaves tell him that midnight is at
hand, and that at that time the sun is
standing in the north.

a NuN's WIsH.-Southey. in his
"Omniana," relates the following :
."When | was last in Lisbon, a nun
made her escape from the nunnery.
The first thing for which she. inquired
when she reached the house in which
she WAS to be secrcted was a looking
glass.-She had entered the convent
when only five years old, and from
that time had never seen her own
face"

a SLIGHT ERRoR.-A French ex-
change contains the following anec-
dote, which we translate, as it may
show that gentlemen of HIibernian ex-
traction are not alone addicted to anu
sing mistakes;
A gentleman Of Douat was going
out in his carriage to make some calls
with his wife, when he discovered that
he had left his visiting cards. He or.
dered his footman, recently come into
his service, to 20 to the mantle-pieee
in his sitting room and bring the cards
he should see there. The servant
did as ordered, retaining the articles
to be used as he would be directed,
and off started the gentleman, sending
in the footman with cards whenever
"Rot-at,homes" occurred. As these
were quite numerous he turned to his
servant with the question: SHOW
many cards have you left!"
"Well, sir" said the iootnan very
innocently, "thOro'e the King ofspades,
the six Of hearts, and the ace of clubs"
The poor fellow had taken the
wrong "documents. ."-Northsrn Ga
sette.

last, may have the same returned on
application to the gardener of the cot

We do, but our practical conclusions are az far
apart as the poles. We say, surrender your
userped territory, abandon your dream of a
UNIVERSAL Slave empire, 60 back to the original
pohcy OF the Government thrust Slavery out
OF the sphere of the Federal Government, and
keep it within State limits. where il NAV be
abolished by State authority, and we shall have
Peace at home, and Honor abroad.
This you will not acceds to-your demand

opreciude opposition to this demand, and allay
popular discomfort, you insist upon {. a bold and
brilliant foreign policy" in plain terms war

Foreign War is your remedy for Anti Slavery

ohgarchy or Aristocracy has sought to turn
away attention from home grievances, by
arousing the insane passion for war The
frst blow struck by England against revolu-
tionary France, was dictated mainly by an
anxiety to repress domestic discomfort, and
keep OF the infection of too liberal ideas
The British Aristocracy thought by occupying
that "DeviPs Workshop" as the Examiner
styles the public mind with the excitcments
OF foreign war, to exclude speculation upon
domestic grievances 1.-THE yaunted Constitu-
ton of that time" says Golden, was, so far
as the House Of Commons was concerned, an
insult to reason, an impudent fraud, which
would not bear discussion, and the borough
mongers,' as they were called, were trembling
lest its real character might be exposed, if
people acre lef at leisure to examine it." This
is true of the usurped rule of the Slave Power.
1t is Gan insult to reason, an impudent
fraud" disgrace to our Wanted republican
ism, and cannot bear investigation. By the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, it has out
ragged the people, and now seeks by bold
and brilliant foreign policy, although that
may involve war, to allsy their retributive
indignation, by inhaming their patriotism, ma
tional pride, and lust of territorial aggrand-
izement
