Kalafat.

A letter from Kalafat, of the 2Gth ult.
written by a French officer in the service
Of Turkey, says: II have examined the
Notifications at Kalafat in all their details
They are really faultless. They occupy a
vast development, and nothing less than a
regular siege would be required to take
them. But the Russians will not attempt
a seigc-thc immense plains which sur
round the camp are almost impracticabIe
for artillery; snow lies everywhere, and
nothing serious can be undertaken before
Spring. The Russians. besides, would
lose O,000 men in attacking KalaG.t. l
cannot speak in terms sufficiently fayora-
bic of the hospitality Of the Turks; their
kindness and generosity exceeds all belief.
We are 10 Europeans in the midst Of
10000 Mussulmen, and VIC receive from
chem nothing but testimonies Of regard
ard respect. The finest house in Kalafat
has been given us, together with five do
mestics, aud orderlies on horseback. The
General-in Chief has carried attention SO
far as to place at our disposal guard of
10 men, two of whom are to be scntinels Of
our door, and horses from the cavalry. |
am every day more surprised at the Turk
ish army; its activity and Intelligence
leave nothing to be desired. The cavalry,
though overworked, is still vigorous; the
artillery is very good, and the field
service is performed with the same regu-
larity as in France or Algeria. A resi-
dence at Kalafat is not without attraction;
the thousands of tents aud soldiers ranged
along the Danube, the finest river in
Europe, form most curious and pic
turesque spectacle. Boston Journal.

THE VOICE OF AUTUMN.
by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

There comes, from yonder height,
A soft repining sound,
Where forest leaves are bright
And fall, like fakes Of light,
To the ground.
It is the autumn breeze,
That, lightly floating on,
just skins the weedy lcas,
just stirs the glowing trees,
And is gone.
lie means by sedgy brook,
And visits with a sigh,
The last pale flowers that look,
From out their sunny nook,
AT the sky.
Ger shouting children flies
That light October wind,
And kissing checks and eyes,
lie leaves their merry cries
Far behind.
And wanders on to mako
That soft uneasy sound
BY distant wood and lake,
Where distant fountains break
From the ground.
No bower where maidcns dwell
Can win a moments stay
Nor fair untroddcn dell;
lie sweeps the upland swell,
And away!
Mourn'st thou thy homeless state?
Oh soft, rcpining wind
That early seck'st and late
The rest, it is thy fate
Not to find.
Not on the mountains breast,
Not on the oceans shore,
In all the East and West:-
The wind that stops to rest
Is no more.
But valleys, woods, and springs,
No wonder thou shouldst grieye
For all the glorious things
Thou TOUGHEST with thy wings
Aud must leave.

In narrative of travels on the Amazon and Rio
Negro, just published, Mr.. Wallace describes an
extraordinary tree called the milk tree, which was
one of the first wonders he saw near Para The
fruit is eatable, and full of rich and very juicy
pulp; but "strangest of all is the vegetable milk
which exudes in abundance when the bark is cut.
Ii has about the consistence Of thick cream, and,
but for very slight peculiar taste, could scarcely
be distinguished from the genuine product of the
COW. MIR. Leacens ordered man to tap some logs
that had lain nearly month in the yard. He cut
several notchcs in the bark with an axe, and in a
minute the rich sap running out in great guam
ties. 1t was collected in basin, diluted with wa
ter, strained, and brought up at tea-time and at
breakfast next morning The peculiar flavor of the
milk seemed rather to improve the quality of the
tea, and gave it as good color as rich cream; in
coffee it is equally good" The milk is also used
for glue, and it is said to be as durable as that
made use of by carpenters. Post
