THE CHINESE SUGAR-CANE.
Among the exotic plant recently intro
duced into thin country by the Patent Office,
in the prosecution of its " agricultural opera
tion!," is the 7' Chinese sugar-cane,", n
" aorglio sucre," (torghum saccharatum.)
The history of its introduction and tome ac
count nf its success have been from time to
time laid before the public through the co
lumns of the Intelligencer and other chan
nels, exciting the scepticism of many and
even the derision of some, but fortunately
awakening the curiosity and enterprise of dis
cerning and intelligent agriculturists in va
rious sections of the United States. We hive
now the gratification of realizing the happy,
results t f the investigations and labors of
this latter class, in the successful cultivation,
it is hoped and believed, of one of the most
valuable products of the soil that has ever
engaged the attention of the husbandman a
product which, there is well-grounded reason
lor assuming, will of itself, in a brief period,
mote than recompense all the pecuniary aid
and labor that have been bestowed upon the
whole subject of agriculture by our Govern
ment, in the introduction of a plant that may
be propagated with advantage in every loca
lity in the Union, that will proviuean essen
tial aliment and a luxury to every family at
an exceedingly lw cost, and that may before
lontr enable us to einort to various nnrtiuna
of the world an article of merchandise that we
now import to the amount or nearly fifteen
millions of dollars a vear. .
It is a sitisularartii cratifvins coincident
that the introduction of this plant, and the :
discover uf its trrpat eici'llmire a'ml ailanta !
lion to the soil and climate of inanv regions
of the United States, should be ma'de at the
precie moment of the apparent decadence oPist!iP1,!8 01 r favored nine
the culture of sugar upon the plantations ol
the South, That thi may not result to the
disadvantage of the important interests in
volved in these plantations is not only desir
ed, but believed by those who are fostering
the cultivation of the new plant; for it ap
pears tn be the accepted opinion that, thaogH
the latter may prosper in any locality in
which maize r Indian corn succeeds, yet the
soil and climate capable of producing the
ib!.r cane will prove the best a'lapted ..f all
to the sorgho sucre. snd that it will hence
flourish there in its greatest perfection.
The annexed communication cotnes to us
from a gentleman whose high intelligence,
social position, and character, as well as the
fact that his name has been hitherto honora
bly
connected with enterprises of agricultural
improv
the confidence of every reader,

Mrssns. Editors: I feel it my duty to make

dog has been killed with the sixth part of a
grain of it, ami a human being with less.
When introduced into the stomach it acts
with fearful energy, causing lock-jaw imme
diately, violent spasms and death in a few
minutes. It is odorless, but so intensely
bitter as to be perceptible to the taste when
one part is diluted in a million parts nf water.

ble salts. It is an alkaline base, and is ex
tracted principally from the Utrychnos mix
vomica. The tree from which it is obtained
is of moderate size, and grows in several
parts of the Cast Indies and the island of
Ceylon. Its fruit are large orange-colored
berries, the pulp f which is tho favorite uf
many birds. '1 he seeds contain the deadly
poison. They are flat and round, about ah
inch in diameter, and grey in color. These
seeds were used as a medicine, and as a poi
son, by the Hindoos, long before they were
known in Europe. Many of the natives of
Hindustan often use it as people use opium.
They commence with taking the eighth of a
nut a day, and gradually increase their allow
ance to an entire nut, which would be about
twenty grains. If they eat it directly before
or after food, no unpleasant e fleets are pro
duced; but if they neglect this precaution,
spasms are the result. -
The bark of the tree is also poisonous, and
from its resemblance to Augustara or Cus
paria bark, a tonic medicine imported from
-South America, caused a great deal ot alarm
and excitement ju Germany, in the early
part of this century, by being mixed with that
bark. No sure antidote has been discovered
for this poison, but some chemists have at
tained to great skill in detecting it, w hen ad
ministered as a poison. The following is Or.
Thompson's method nf detecting the one-thousandth
part tif a grain:
Having placed a drop of strong sulphuric
acid on a piece of glass, add to it a small
quantity of the suspected substance, and stir
the whole together, so as to favor solution; then
sprinkle over the mixture a' little powdered
bichromate of potash, and gently muve a glass
rod through the fluid. If strychnia be pres
ent, a violet color of considerable beauty will
be almost immediately produced, which, after
a lew minutes, will rude into a redilisii yellow,
but may be renewed by the addition of mure
bichromate, ao longas any strychnine remains
undestroyed in the mixture. In this way the
thousandth part of a grain of that alkaloid
may be made to yield a very decisive indica
tion. The points tt be noticed are that
sulphuric acid atone produces no apparent ef
fect, and that the action begins at once round
each narticle of the bichromate, so that if
the trlass be held in a vertical position. I
streams nf a violet colored fluid may be seen
to flow from each particle; and if at this time
ihe whole be slowly stirred, the .entire bulk
of the flu ill will speedily assume the same
characteristic tint.
A TIGER STORY.
Lucy and Fanny were two little girls who
Jived with their father aud mother in Lon
don. When Lncy was six and Fanny live
years old, their uncle George came home from
India. This was a great joy to them; he was
so kind and had so much to tell them about
far away places, and strange people, and an
imals, and things such as they had never seen.
They never wearied of hearing his stories,
and'he did not seem to weary either of tell
inz them. '
One day after dinner, they both climbed
on bis knees, and Lucy said, O, Uncle, do tell
us a fiA'er story!
Very well, said he, I will tell vou story
about a t:er and a baby, which fmppened to
some friends of mv own. This gentleman
and lady had one sweet little baby, and they
had tn take a long journey with it through a
wild part of India. Thire were no houses
there, anil they had to sleep in a tent. That is
a kind ol house made of cloth by driving high
sticks firmly into the grnuud.and then draw
ing curtainsover them. It is very comfortable
and c ol in a warm country w here there is no
rain ; but then there are no doors nor win
dows to shut as we do at night, to m ike all
safe. One night they had to sleep in a very
wild place, near a thick wio.l. The lady
s lid, " O, I feel so afraid to niht ; I cannot
tell you how frightened I am. I know there
are many tigers and wild au nt .1 in the wood 5
and what if they should come out upon us f"
Her husband replied, My dear, we w ill make
the servants litjht a fire", and keep watch,
and you need have no fear; and we must put
our trust in God."
So the lady kissed the babe and put it in
its rradle; and then she and her (lusbnnd
knelt dnw n together, ami prayed to Gml to
keep them from every danger, and they re
peatedjthat pretty verse, " I will both lay me

DISSOLVE, THE UNION! '
Dissolve the Union ! Who would part
Tho chain that binds ua heart tn heart 1
Each link waa forged by aaintcd airea
Amid the Revolution fires;
And cooled oh, where ao rich a II mhI,
In Warren's and in Sumter's blood.
Dissolve the Union ! Be like France
When " Terror" leared her bloody lanee,
And Man became destruction's child,
And woman, in ber passions wild,
Danced in the life-blood of her Queen,
Dcnido the dreadful guillotine !
Dissolve .the Union ! Roll away
The Spangled Flag of Glory 'a day
Blot out the history of the brave,
And desecrate each Patriot's grave ;
And then, above the wreck of y care
Quaff an eternity of tear.
Dissolve the Union ! Can it be
That they who apeak such worda are free t
Great God ! Did any .die to save
Such sordid wretches from the grave
When breast to breast, and brand to brand.
Our patriot f ather's freed Ihe land 1
Diaaolve the Union ! Ho! Forbear!
The aword of Danioclra ia there j
Cut but the hair and earth ahall kuow,
A d.iker, deadlier tale of wo,
Than Hist'ry'a crimson page has told,
Since Nero's car in blcod eVr rolled,
Diaaolve theX'nion f Speak, ye hill,
Ye everlasting mountains cry :
rjhrick out, ye streams and mingling rills.
And ocean roar iu agony l
Dead Heroes ! leap from Glory's aod !
And shield the manor of your God I
SIMEON AND WESLEY.
The following occurrence is narrated by
Dobbin, in reference to an interview between
Simeon and John Wesley s
Three or four years after Simeon, whoso
name has simce become sacred in the annals
of the Church of Christ, was ordained, this
young minister had an opportunity of con
versing with the loundcr of Arminian Meth
odism; wishing to improve the opportunity
to the utmost, he began' to fiueation him
thus: ";''.-'
Sir, I understand you are called an Ar
minian :now I am sometimes called a CaU
vinist, antPtherefore.'I suppose, we are to draw
daggers. 'But, befure we begin to combat,
with your permission, I will ak you a few
questions, not irnm impertinent cunuauj,
but for real instruction. Pray, sir, do you
feel yourself a depraved creature so de
praved that you would never have thought
of turning unto God il God had not put it in
to your heart r"
" Yes," said the veteran, " I do, indeed".
"'And do you utterly deipaircf recommcn
dingyoureff to God by anything 'st you
rau ilu, and look for silvation sole I) ''trough
the blood and righteousness of Christ I'
" Yes, solely through Christ."
But, sir, supnusinz you were first saved
by Christ, are you nut some how or other to
save yourself afterwards, by yourgood works?
"iNo; I must be saved bv Christ from first
to last." "
" Allow ing, then, that yon were first turned
by the price of God, are you nut in some
way or other, to keep yourself by your own
p.iwerr"
No."
" What, then, arc you lo be ophclJ every
hour and every moment by Gid, as inuth aa
an infint in its mother's arms?"
Yes ; altogether."
Ami is all your hope in the grace ami
mercy of God to preserve you unto his hea

" Yes; I have no hope but in him."
