The next applicant for a letter for John Smith, was a small dapper gentleman, with hair of a reddish cast, light eyes and sandy complexion. The bosom of his vest was tra versed m every direction with strings of silk braid and safety chains, and its collar was rolled hack with great precision, so as to dis play to the best advantage n curiously plaited bosom to his linen, nnd a set of gilt mounted tads with which it was adorned. Ills upper lip was shaded with some dozen 01 twenty hairs, which, as the weaver said of the threads of his carnet, were not ns neighborly as they should be ; but they glistened with hoar’s grease, nnd had been forced with infinite pains from their bristling, to a supine position, so thn! they presented quite u smart apulogy for mustaches. Our beau was highly indignant that n post office clerk should dare to question hint, or withhold a letter addressed “ to his lu- dv"—hut said it was no moro than might bo inked for under a rascally Jackson admints- iration—told him w ith impressive earnestness our Post Office, who, were they nfilicted with the cacoethcs scribendi, or did their avocations I that he was a gentleman—threw his curd down permit them to try their hands at more diffuse | with the look of an angry Ctesar—and uttered —■ mighty threats in n very weak and effeminate voice, which was not without a certain quaver tlmt scorned to denote that llto speaker was not altogether sure whether the intermediate well afforded n protection to his exquisite per son Tho clerk, however, receiving no satis factory answers to his inquitics, was not intimi dated into giving the datidv the letter, nnd the disappointed applicant walked olf in a most unbecoming passion. A long, blue-eyed, red- ehcekcd, raw-boned, awkward looking man from " down enst,” was the next to nsk for tho much rlnimcd letter for Mrs. John Smith ; he was surceeded by a chubby negro woman ; and a thick set, heavy-looking Dutchman fol lowed her. They none of them, however, gave satisfactory answora to the questions which the rnrcful clerk thought it his duty to ask, and were obliged lu go away as they came. At I ist a small pretty woman, with high cheek hones, rosy complexion, dressed in a neat closo habit, a gypsy hut, and having altogether a John Bull air, came to the Post Office window nnd modciRlv asked if there was a letter by tho Liverpool packet for M rs. John Smith. Noticing that the clerk felt compositions than the brief and pithy senten ces which they me accustomed to endorse up on tho hacks nfleliers. might contribute, in no inconsiderable degree, to tho entertainment of the public, by “ a plain unvarnished tale” of ■the scenes which sometimes occur at the Post Olfieo window, in consequence of tho endless number of Smiths who appear among the claimants for letters. By the last Liverpool packet, n double let ter, folded and sculed in a wny which led to the belief that money was enclosed, nnd nddress- od to Mrs. John Smith, was received at our Post Office. It had not been long deposited in its proper box, before a short, ful, smirking 1'ttlo woman tnude her appearance at the win dow, and in a broad Irish accent, inquired, “ Hive you iver a letter for Mrs. Smith f “Yes, here is one for Mrs. Smith —Mrs. Catharine Smith—is that your name, good woman ?” “ No, that’s not it—my name is Bridget." “ Ah, here is one. Pray what is your hus band’s name ?” “ 1,11 1 he vagabond, his name is John.” Tho clerk was about to give tho letlei to the woman, but his experience had taught him that John Snvilis were as plenty as blaekher- rios ; and he held it hack, while he asked a few- more questions. “ And where did you ex pect a letter from. Mrs. Smith?” “Oh, from Cinrinnati or NcV Orleans, or therenbouls. The villain John Smith, (that I should say so I) promised to write me these two months, and not the hit srrape of Ins ugly pen have I seen at all at all.” “ But this letter is from Liverpool, nty good woman, and ofroursa is not for you.” “ Liverpool did you say? Oli the ruffian, lias he then deserted mo entirely, and gone back to the old country?” “ Supposing he has, you would probably ex pect to receive money from him.” “ Is it money yon mane ?

India Rubber, or Gum Elastic, is manufac tured principally by tho South American In dians. It is produced from a plant which ex udes a juice from incisions made on its bark. Into this juice a clay mould or last is alternate ly dipped, and exposed to a meridian sun ; when sufficiently dried and hardened, the mould is broken, or saturated with water and picked to pieces, which thus camnletes the manufacture of the shoe or hoot.
