SURsrIrUTE FOR TocACco.-The ia.

lencies Of allspice or pimento as smok-
ing material far superior to tobacco in
every respect. Any person, says cor

who knows anything Of the fragrance Of
the Pimento walk when in full blow may
form some idea Of it by pipe charged
and lighted with the dried berry, simply
crushed in coarse bits. Another says
that it cannot we'll be smoked 10 short

Of tobacco and he can see no reason not
to prefer Gardncr's Chronicle.

A Beautiful EpiStle.

This epistle was taken by Napoleon,
from the records Of Rome, when he de-
prived that city Of 50 many valuable
manuscripts. Itwas written at the time,
and on the spot where Jesus commenced
his ministry, by Publias Lemullus. Gov
ernor Of Judes, to the Senate Of Rome'
Caesar Emperor. It vas the custom in
those days for the Governor to write
home any event Of importance which
transpifed while he held his Office.
"CoNscRIpr FArHER.-There appear-
ed in these our days, man named Jesus
Christ, who is yet living among US, and
of the Gcntiles is accepted as prophet
Of great truth, but his own disciples call
him the Son Of God. He hath raised
the dead aud cured all manner Of dis
eases. He is man somewhat tall and
comely in stature, with ruddy countc
nance, such as the bcholdcr may both
love and fear his hair Ia Of the color Of
the 6lbert when fully ripe, plain to his
ear, whence downward it is Of more
orient color, curling and waving about
his shoulders; in the middle Of his head
there is seam Of long hair upon the
manner Of the Nazarites. His forehead
is plain and delicate; his face without
spot or wrinkle, bsautiied with . come
" red; his nose and mouth are exactly
formed; his beard the color Of his hair,
thick, but forked, and not Of any very
great length. In reproving he is terri
bic; in admonishing he is courteous; in
speaking, very modest and wise; in pro-
portion Of body, we'll shaped. None
have seen him laugh-many have seen
him weep; man for his surprising
beauty, excelling the children Of men"

O! could there in the world be found
Some little spot Of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might g rouad,
without the village tattlingl
How doubly blest that place should be
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from bitter misery
OF gossips endless prattling
The mischief makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth Of love.
And lead u all to disapprove
Whist gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part--but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them al again,
Mixed with their poisonous measure.
And then they've such cunning way
OF telling ill-meant tales say they
"Don't mention what I've said, Ipray,
/ would not tell another;''
Straight to your neighbor's house they 90;
Narrating far more than they know,
And break the peace Of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
q. that the mischief making crew
Were al reduced to one or two
And they al painted red or blue,
That every one might know them;
Then would our villagers forget,
To rage, quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into On angry pet
With things 80 much below them.
For tits sad, degrading part,
To make another bosom smart,
And plant dagger in the heart
We ought to love and cherish.

ter Of Sicily in 1849. The committee
formed sub committees all over Italy
from the Alps to Sicily, and some, too,
beyond the Alps. Manin, the Directo,
Of Venice in l84S, was at the head Of
the committee in Paris, and Louis Ma
poleon gave it their secret countenance.
In London, too, another sub committee
was formed, under the direction Of the
head quarters at Turin. It has ramiied
even to Hungary and Germany. The
Central Committee at the Capital Of Sar-
dinia disseminated all over Italy. through
means Of the subcommittee, secret
publications, advising the people Of their
duties to their duties to the country, and
exhorting them to bide their time and
not break out in useless abortivc attempts
at revolution, which would only be ex-
tinguishcd by blood by the Austrian
government.

q division and dissension between the
Austrians and Hungarian commoders
and that is another reason which ac-

The writer's also stated that the Brit

the war on the side Of Sardinia, if she
could have obtained the portion Of the
spoils she coveted and that was the boau-.
tiful island Of Sicily, but this tho Eicil-

The writer also says there now exists 1
great hatred Of the English in Sardinia,
and they are only protected from out
rage by calling themselves Ameri-
