SrRYCHNINE.-In Ceylon and several
districts of India grows a moderate sized
tree, with thick shining leaves, and short
crooked stem. In the fruit season it is readi-
ly recognized by its rich orange-colorcd ber-
ries, about as large as golden pippins, the
favorite food of many kinds of birds, within
which arc the flat round seeds, not an inch
in diameter, ash grey in color, and covered
with very minute silky hairs. The Ger
mans fancy they can discover resemblance
in them to grey eyes and call them crows
eyes, but the likeness is purely imaginary
The tree is the strychninc nux vomica, and
the seed is the deadly poison nut. The lat
ter was early used as medicine by the
Hindoos, and its nature and properties un-
derstood by Oriental doctors long before it
was known to foreign nations. Dog killer
and fish scale arc two of its Arabic names.
1t is stated that at present the natives of
Hindcstan often take it for many months
continuously, in much the same way as an
opium-eater cats opium. They commence
with taking the eigth part of nut day,
and gradually increase their allowance to an
entire nut, which would be about 20 grains.
Ii they eat it directly before or after food, no
unpleasant effects arc produced; ; but if they
neglect this prccautiou, spasms result

WITNESSES IN THEIR Own CAsE.-The
Legislature of Massachusetts recently passed
law allowing parties in civil suits to be
their own witnesses-the Court to hear the
statements of both parties, and to decide be-
tween them, if there be no other testimony.
The Boston Post says: ''The law permitting
parties in civil suits to testify as witnesses,
went into operation yesterday, practically,
in the Superior Court, The parties, as might
be supposed possible, gave testimony of an
entirely opposite character, yet the friends
of the law thought they discovered in the
uneasy position of the defendant, who lest
his case, an evidence that it would work ia
vorably in its results.

APoLoGuE.-A poor laborer, in a certain
village, died, after long illness; and hay
ing escaped the turmoils of existence, pre-
sented himself at the gates of Heaven, where
he found he had been preceded by rich
man of the same locality, who had just died,
and having previously knocked, had been
admitted by the Apostle Peter. The labor
er, who stood without, was enchanted by the
ravishing sounds of singing, rejoicing, and
sweet music which appeared to hail the en-
trance of the Dives; and having knocked in
his turn, was also admitted. But what was
his astonishmcnt at finding silence, where
seraphic sounds had so lately been joyously
uttered, elbow is this ?" he demanded of
Peter; "when the rich man entered, heard
music and singing; is there, then, the same
distinction between. rich and poor in Heaven
as on earth ?" nNot at ALL" replied the
Apostle, "but the poor come to Heaven every
day, whereas it is scarcely once in hundred
years that a rich man gains admission"

WHAT OUR ENEMIES ARE DOING.--
Gerrt Smith, the Abolitionist, has just pied
eed himself to give 81 800 month for the
next twelve months, to aid in establishing
Freedom in Kansas. He gave, but short
time since, at the Kansas relief meeting in
Albany, $4,000. Prior to that, he had sent
about 900 to the Boston Emi grant Com
mittce. Out of his own funds, he subse-
quently equipped a Madison County Com
pany, of one hundred picked men, and paid
their expenses to Kansas. st Syracuse he
subscribed 10000 for Abolition purposes;
so that his entire contributions amount to at
least $4,000. This is the tribute of one
mans mere hostility to the spread of South
ern institutions.
We wish we could point to a Southern
man who, recognising Kansas as the batrle-
ground of the South-as the place where,
CT all others, we arc to determine whether
we will hold our position by power or hence
forth exist by the mercy of our enemies
We wish we could name Southern man who
had given as much for the safety of his Sec
ton as this fanatic for the triumph of his
