SUM CfUflW OtML NUTMEGS. | A correspondent at North Yarmouth j wishes to caution the public, through the medium of the press, against the deleteri ! ous effects of a too free use of tlie Nutmeg. He says: “ Having recently purchased the article, j I took a broken one and put it into my j pocket, and in the course of six hours, I hail j oaten about half of one. Soon after 1 felt a dizziness and an unaccountable derange ment of intellect ; transient loss of memo j ry ; yet a perfect consciousness of all that 1 stud or did. 1 became remarkably lo quacious and seemed to oe neither in this world nor the other, felt happy and free from any pain—l was truly in an undiscri bubic state. 1 felt as l have supposed one might feel that had been magnetized. My friends were greatly alarmed, and the doc tor was sent for post hast**. Bleedin** was proposed but as I thought I knew at least as much as any one 1 was not willing to bo ! bled. After keeping them laughing and crying till about II o’clock at night, 1 re j tired to bed, without any thing having been done for me. I awoke in the morning and was as well as usual, having never be n sick a day in my life. Since this occur rcnce, several eases have come to my knowledge in which persons having eaten of nutmeg wore affected the same as 1 hail been. Had I eaten a very little more l have no doubt it would have proved fatal, as 1 learn it has been in other cases. THE NEBULAR THEORY. Wo extract the following interesting arti cle on this subject, from a lato English pa per. It furnishes food for reflection.— N. Y. Sun. “ The discoveries of Astronomy have ! not only extended over the existing world of celestial bodies, but recent investigations have revealed the probable mode in which new worldsare called into being, and shown ihe process by which they are gradually | and imperceptibly moulded into shape.— | Sir William Herschel and his no less gif. ted son, Sir John, in conjunction with tho French astronomer, Laplace, had, for a considerable period observed certain masses ofluminous vapors in various portions of the heaven, and presenting various appear ances in the course of their progress to wards a definite form and character, some appearing as mere films of light, others gathering into separate masses, others as-j suming something like a globular shape, j while others presented a dense central nu cleus of light, surrounded by a luminous mass like the tail of a comet, so that a se ries was tints to be observed from groups of round bodies illuminated in their centres, to seperate nebula with single nuclei, to a central disk, constituting a nebular star, & finales to an orb of light, with a halo like our sun. By such a process, it is con ceived that onr planetary system was formed. The sun is conceived to have been once a diffused nebulosity ; a scat tered mass of vapor, which has condensed into its present form ; and during this pro cess of condensation, it is believed the plan ets were successively thrown off, the most distant, Herschel, being the first, followed by Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Earth, Ven us and Mercury. The assertion that the solid earth has condensed from a mass of vapor will seem strange and startling to the mind unaccustomed to scientific inqui ry ; but when we reflect that water may be frozen into a suDstance, ice which is as hard as a rock, or again may be melted in to water, or sublimed into vapor, and again condensed into water and frozen into ico, or finally, may, by chemical decomposition, be reduced to its two component gases, ox ygen and hydrogen, we may cease to won der at phenomena which are produced by j the same laws, and may bo explained on i similar principles.” A TREASURE TROVE. Mr. H. formerly an employe in one ofthe | j Government offices, had become so straight- j I cried in his affairs through some family I lawsuits, which he had stood the brunt for the last four years that he could not pay the j rent of his apartments in the Barriere des Martyrs, and his landlord became very im patient, threatening him almost daily with forcible ejectment. On Wednesday the landlord had again called upon his tenant to remonstrate with him about the arrears of rent, and in the course of conversation re newed his threat of ejectment. Mr. H. prayed him to have patience, he should doubtless soon gain his suit, and would then be able to pay him all that he owed him. The landlord was, however, in exorable, would hear nothing in extension ofthe delay, and at length said, “ I have al ready obtained judgement against you, and if you do not pay me I will put it into a ex ecution.” This threat put the poor man into a most furious rage. “If you take my things,” saidlie, “they shall not beof much use to you ; for I will set fire to them or beat them in pieces, rather than you shall treat me so harshly. Suiting the action to the word he seized a candlestick from the mantle piece and dashed it at the looking glass, which shivered it into a thousand pie ces. But what was the surprise of both an gry men [angry no longer] to see a perfect rain of gold pieces pouring from t'ac fractu ring glass frame ! They hastily gathered them up from the : floor, and upon counting them found that there n'r-rc no !*•?? than two hundred and j twenty old gold coins of eight and forty francs each, and fitly Napoleons. Their quarrel was suddenly put a stop to. and 1 Monsieur H. paid his landlord his rent and i heartily thanked him into the bargain tor having put him into a passion. He then proceeded to examine theglass frame, and ; (bund .‘hat the back of it had an opening with I a groove and slide. A note in the hand writing of his deceased wife explained the mystery. Th, money consisted of s& v i nqs | w hich she had put by for a “ rainv dav. ! without letting her spouse into the secret. French paper. From Cruiksliank's Omnibus. FRIGHTS! There is no fever so contagious as fright. It runs, like a bell wire, through the house, ! communicating from ono lino of agitation ! to another. b rights in a national point of view, are | called ••clouds on the political horizon.’ ; 1 he-scclouds are very catching ; ifononu j tion in Europe has the vapours” all have— |as we have lately had an opportunity of witnessing. As in a civic, or we should say lather in a commercial sense, fights j are called “‘panics ; : they are wonderful ly contagious. No sooner is one house in * I anger, than another feels itself in peril. You walk m sueli a season through sum vast capital, amidst lines of lofty anil dura bio looking mansions, and every one that \ begins to totter puts at least a couple in mind of tottering also. As tins nods to its fall, that returns the nod instinctively.— j Unco set ihe panic afoot, and each seems inclined to be foremost, rather than hindmost in tho road to ruin ; let but a single firm topple down unexpectedly, and its neigh bors break too, Iron) nothing but sheer ap prehension of breaking. Amidst large as sembluges of people—in ball rooms, thea ires, often in churches—frights is irresisti ble in its progress, if once kindled. Tit ! cry oi “fire, ’ or a sound construi and into tin ; cracking oi the wainscot, is enough. The ! strong, the weak, the bold, the nervous, the j old stager and the young novice—are all j reduced simultaneously to a common lev el : they become one muss of flying, flutter mg, struggling, shrieking, selfish mortal ity—rushing to the door, and there effec tually blocking up tbo way ; each bent on escape, and each helping to render escape impossible ; trampling, stifling, crushing ono another in hideous rout and disorder, j without one rational idea amongst the be- I wildered multitude ofthe reality of the dan- j ger, or on*’ courageous impulse to face it. | i I bis wild alarm, like jealousy, male s i the meat it feeds on. There is something so contradictory in it, that the presence of numbers, which should be its protection, increases its confusion. It sees its own pale, glaring, terror stricken image in each man’s face, and its diseased imugiua lion, multiplies the causes of fear, because its elf cts arc manifested. While such panics prevail, as all vera cious chronicles show they do, amongst mankind, who still presume ungallantl v to j laugh at thy innocent objects of terror, oh, j womankind! or childhood, even at thine! All have their favorite antipathies. Gen tlemen ere now have been appalled at the sight of a black bottle ; many a lady yet looks aghast at the intrusion of a black bee- ‘ tie, while the child still screams, affrighted at the idea ofa black bogy. Leaving the first to the satirist, and the last to the .school master, let us picture to the eyes of ladies j a scene, in which every fair reader almost must have been at least once in her life, an actress. W will suppose that scene to be ala- j dy’s “finishing establishment”—for there I are no schools now—th*’ school went out of! fashion with tho shop, and the “establish ! ment” came in with the “ depot” and the j “emporium.” ! The group is the prettiest possible, as a ; specimen of still life : there is not a wbis- * i per, scare* iy a motion ; the superior is ,-i. lently calculating the amount of her Mi | chelmus accounts ; the a. s'stanl is mutely , i wondering whether young \iiosto Jackson, I whom she met at Northampton lasi lioli- I days, will again be there at the next breu- i ’ king up ; and several young ladies, in pro i cess of tuition, are learning irregular verbs by heart, reading treaties abstrusely seien tific, and thinking all the time of nothing, when—all ofa sudden—but no, that is not the word—quicker than lightning, trans formed as by magic, the scene presents to the eye but one image of consternation, to the ear but one note of terror and dismay- In the centre of tiie sacred apartment has been detected a small sable intruder. A cry of horror from one young lady— ••Oh 1 my good gracious, there’s a great black beadle /” brings every other young lady’s heart into her mouth. In an instant the room resounds with wild piercing | screams. Every chair has its pedcstalled votary of Fear, its statue of Alarm exquis itely embodied, the sofa boasts a rare cluster ofuft’riglited nymphs ; more agonised by far than if they had been, by some wicked bachelor of a magician, locked for life into a nuuery. The lady president, to exhibit an example of presence of mind, has leaped upon a chair for the purpose of pulling the bell ; she at the same time conveys a les son of industry, for she agitates it like a “ ringer” pulling for a leg of mutton and trimmings. The bell rope breaks, and the other is out of reach. The screams in crease ; the servants are summoned by more names than they were ever christened by “ Cook, Sarah, Betsey, Betsey, Jane, Cook, Sarah,” are called together with se veral domestics who have long since gone n . .8 . Id AC s lSi ?, , f>• iit ter. !away. i In the mean time let us snatch a qlance I **t the little dingy contemptible insect, the ! sable agitator, the Christophe of entomol- I ogy, who Ims innocently created all this | palpitation in tender bosoms, this elistorta j tion of beautiful features, this trembling of limbs, and this discord in voices the most musical'. lie stands a moment stupified, | petrified with astonishment at the rush and 1 the ri ar around him ; recovering from his * !ir>t surprise, be creeps a pace or two ill 1 blank p*. rplexity; lie wrestles with his fears; for frightened lie is out of his little black wits, you may dep* ndon it—runs here and there, a few inches to tho east, then a few | inches west ward, to and fro like a bewilder ing thing : and making up his mind, “away lit cuts ’as hard as he can pelt into the obscurest corner. The enemy out of sight, : tho boldest ofthe party, after a minute or i two ventures down and makes a desperate S rush to the door; others soon follow this hc | mine’s example : and when they reach the j landing—there pale though recent from the j roasting jack, and peeping up from one of ’he lower stairs of the kitchen flight, they j perceive the face of the cook—a face whose expression is half curiosity, halffear. As pects of wonder and wo begone alarm aro j iliscernablo bevond, and fill up tho picture ! of agitation. I “Oil Cook ! where have you been ?”cry the pretty trembh rs. “ Oh, Miss 1 what is the matter?” sighs I the cook sentimentally, observing at the j same time that “her heart beats that quick j as she ain’t sure she knows her own name ; w hen she hears it.” “ Oil, cook !” cries the least exhausted !of the party, “here’s a great —here’s a j great black beadle in the parlour!” On which a very small scream, and a pretty j shudder at the recollection, pervade the as. ; scrub!y. •• A black beadle, Miss Higgins! is that fill! Laud, well that is disappointing ; we ! thought as you was all a being murdered, j and so we couldn’t move, we was so fright ened, why I minds a black beadle no more, no more nor—no, that 1 don’t ! But if it had been a hcarwig, Miss Higgins ! —ur-r-r-rh! now that’s a ruptile, as 1 never could abide 1” Had wc rushed down stairs sooner, just at the first ring of the bell, a kitchen-group might have presented itself, not unworthy jof being sketched. There should wc have j seen a feminine party of four seated round Ia table spread w ith solid vivands ; the ae | tresses have played their parts to perfec j lion : not like unfortunate plavers, on tho j mimic stage, who raise to their parched ! lips empty japan cups, and affect to eat large slices of pasteboard turkeys. No, they have in tiie fullest sense of the word, denied ; and are in that delicious state of dreamy repose, induced by a hearty meal, about mid-duv in summer, after having ris en early and “washed” till twelve ! It is at this junction they hear the loud, quick ring ofthe parlor bell. At such a moment when 1 Misssus know’d they was at dinner! A- I gain, again, again ; nav the peal is contin uous, and mingled with confusion and screams. Terror and the cold beef com bined, strong ulo and intense alarm, pre vent them from stirring. Slill the bell i rings, tlm screams continue, and grow more I distinct! Sarah faints, Betsey manages a- I bout half a fit. and Jane staggers a few I paces and (alls into the arms of Robert j the gardener. A jug of ale, which t ho j cook mistakes for water, flung into the face 1 ofthe fair insensible, causes sensation that j arouses the whole party ; and curiosity overcoming fear, leads thorn towards the j stairs, where, hushed and horror stricken ; j they await tho dread intelligence that a | great black beadle lias got info the parlour,” his first appearance this season ! “ Had it been a mad dog, indeed !’ they | all cry. Ys, and if it had been merely a i tinv puppv with the smallest tin kettle tied * to his tail, retreating affright* dly from ro j guisli boys, ‘le y themselves would have ’ been tiirov. n into fright iHi!< ed. Their ill. j stincts would have led to the cry, “Oh, here’s a mad dog,” and to run right in his '“V. Every man has his “frights. ’ Toads are exceedingly unpopular. The death, watch, like conscience, doth make cowards of us all. Spiders arc unwelcome visiters. Rats (politics apart) ere eminently disa greeable. One of a party who went out to lull buffaloes, happen to run away just as his courage was required, explained the circumstance to his friend thus : “One man dislikes this, and another man that animal; gentlemen, antipathy is the buffalo. hut in certain climates, people arc accustomed to horrors; they sup full of them. Nohod v there screams out, “Oh here s a scorpion. or “Good gracious here’s an alligator. The visits of such common places arc not angelic, being neither few nor far between. It fs only some rarer monster that can hope to make a sensation. Now, a hippopota | mus, once a season, would come with a for j tv black beetle power to an evening party, and a group of timid ladies, kicking the mere crocodiles and rattlesnakes awa\, may well be imagined rushing into a cor ner, startled by an unlooked tor intruder, and crying out. “Oh my! if here isn’t a mammouth 1 Mamma 1 here’s a great largo leviathan!” The Bangor Whig, says—“ A yankee in Boston has set up a one- horse thrashing ma chine for the convenience of Barents and | Guardians having unruly boys. He lick j an urchin like thunder, for four-pence. - ! Small lickings done for two cents only, and ! .be most entire satisfaction warranted • [VOU ME XXVII.
