Thcro tvero residing nt Ashland, llio resi dence of Henry Clay, nenr Lexington, in 1813 nnd 1811, three, of his grandson! nnd myself, attending tho classes of Tronsyl vnnia University. During tho fall of 1813 Nicholas Longwortli, of Cincinnati, sent to Mr. Clay a five-gallon demijohn of wine, sealed with ordinary wax nnd stamped with a letter " L" that had tho npiiearanco of having heen cut from a piece of rough wood. Charles, Mr. Clay's favorito nnd confidential colored servant, was requested to placo tho demijohn in a secure placo in tho cellar. Mr. Clay gavo us the privilege, after finish ing our class studies each night, of going to tho cellar for what apples and cider wo wished. On ono occasion Henry Duraldc, ono of tho mess, proposed to me instead of filling tho pitcher witli cider to tap tho demijohn of nativo American wine. Wo did so, nnd continued to ilo so night iter night, ns wc preferred tho wine, until it was empty. A consultation was held, and a unanimous opinion expressed that some thing had to ho done, and that without de lay, Wo brought into our confidence the old Guinea negro gardener, Mike, at 11 o'clock at night, and snow six inches deep on tho ground, which resulted in his assist ing us, in consideration of a quarter of a dollar cash in hand, in takiug tho demijohn to town', somo thrco miles distant, and for 15 cents a gallon got an old Dutchman, who mado a precarious living by trading whisky at night with colored persons, to fill up five gallons of tho same. On pur return wc smeared over somo scaling wax, and, hav ing cut a letter h from tho ond of a hroom- Etick, branded it and placed it onco moro in tho cellar whero it belonged. During tho fall of 181 1, when thcro was every indication that Mr. Clay would be elected President, ho gavo a dinner party to Tom Corwin, Charlio Morehead, and many of his near friends. As usual, nt this din ner Mr. Clay was present. Wo sat down to the table at 2 o'clock, ns was customary r.t that time. After a long and sumptuous Junior, during which many wines wero dis cussed, Mr. Clay said : " Gentlemen, I hnvo au abiding confidence that the day will soon como when America will provo to bo tho great wine-producing country of the world , and, with your permission, I will produce a 6aniplo of tho first American wine ever made, from my old friend, Nicholas Long worth. Charlie, my boy, can you go down in the cellar and bring up from tho right- hand corner that demijohn of wino that came from Mr. Longwoith 1" "Yes, sir." " Hold, Charlie, see here. Now you do bo with great care. Should you shako it tho very least bit, you will spoil It. Now, Charlie, just it with tho greatest case on (ho floor besido inc. Ah I Hint's right. How, my good boy, take the corkscrew nnd extract tho cork ; don't shako it. Thero, there, tako it under your arm, easy, if you please, and just tip us a littlo all around. Now) gentlemen, wo will, with your per mission, drink standing to tho health of our old friend, Nicholas Longworth, tho manu facturer of tho first jiativo wine ever made in America." As tho wino touched their lips, Mr. Clay looked at us boys, seated at ono corner of tho table, and, with that stcn sorian voice that was peculiar to him when aroused, cried, "Boys!" We slipped from our seats, through tho side-door, and, as wo entered tho cedar trees out of sight, hoard such a shout from his guesU ns was never heard In tho old mansion at Ashland. CH00SINGA PJIOFESSIOX. A very important question for a young man or for his parents to decide is the choice of a profession tho decision shaping his wholo futuro career. In this imjiortaut matter there must bo caution in tho decision not too much haste for many, very many, decido linwisely, and aro wretched through life in having mistaken their vocation. Wo constantly sea misplaced men in tho various walks of life lawyers without clients, doctors without patients, actors with out applause, printers who "pi" every thing they touch, who rro useless to tho world and to themselves, from incapacity, but who might havo dolio well had not whim and unduo influence, instead of aptitude nnd fit ness for a vocation, decided their choico of a career. , , Somo people nttrihuto to witchcraft or luck tho success in Ufa of tho man who has fitted himself to A profession. 1'liny tells us of ono Cresein, who so tilled and manured a piece of ground that it yield ed him fruits in abundance, while tho lands around him remained extremeiy jioor and barren. .His siinplo neighbors could not account for tho wonderful difference on any other supjwsition, than that of his working by enchantment j and they actually pro ceeded to arraign him for his supposed sorcery before tho judgment seat. "How is it," said they, "unless it bo that ho enchants us, that ho can contrive to draw such iv revenue from his inheritance, while we, with oqual lands, oro wretched and mis erable?" Cressin was his own advocate; his coco was one which required neither ability to expound nor language to raoommend. " llehold !" said he, "this comely damsl , eho is my daughter, my fellow-laborcri be hold, loo, theso implements of husbandry, theso carts, nnd theso oxen. Go with me, moreover, to my fields, and behold thcro how they aro tilled, how manured, how weeded, how watered, how fenced In I And when," added lie, raising his voice, "you havo beheld all these things, you will havo beheld all tho art, the charms, the magic, which Cressin has used." What moro could just and intelligent Judges do than acquit such a ,111011 of tho crime of which he was so foo'ishly accused ? Manifestly ho had chosen in early life tho calling that best suited his abilities, and had applied his every hour in perfecting him self in a knowledgo of its mysteries. Hence, while his ill-starred neighbors were suffering with want, ho was prospering. How many farmers now-a-days oro out of their placo ; and how many a young man, by consent and adyico of tho parents, has left tho home stead, to seek cniploymcnt in some other sphere of life, when his abilities eminently fitted him for prosperity on tho farm ! Dut tho fault does not always lio so much, we fancy, with parents as with children themselves, who aro led astray by caprico and inclination. A bluo coat nnd shining buttons lures many a youngster into tho navy, who is no way fitted to tread tho quarter-deck; many a misguided lad has deemed himself a Nelson or a Howe, and found out too late tho misery of his choico. THE SLvrT VtlTilTLIVER. I had such a pleasant companion on my way home from Aurora. Ho got on at Bristol, and took dinner at the " Cosmopoli tan." He sal with mo at dinner nnd didn't seem lo havo much appetite. Ho groaned when ho took up tho bill of fare, and sighed a? he looked across tho table r.t my order, and then shook his head dolefully and told the waiter lo bring him a little boiled trout wilh.cgg 6auce, bit of boiled mutton with caper 6auce, eomo roast beef a trifle rare, just a taste of roast lamb, turkey with cran berry sauce, mashed potatoes, roast duck, I somo pom ana beans, Boston flyle, stowed' tomatoes, corn turnips, squash, a bit of cold tongue, somo sharp relish, and a cup of cof fee. Then he ordered 601110 assorted cake, cranberry pie, Indian pudding, and ieo cream for desert, and said ho felt a darned eight moro like dying than eating. It ho dies as well ns ho rals, just imnRine, just think, what a glorious, triumphant (leatn mat man will 1I10. Shortly after dinner tho poor man enmo into tho coach nnd sat down opjwsite me. "Ah!" ho said, with a deep pxoan, "I don't know what I wouldn't give if I could cat liko you," 'Birl" I said, in aTmo burst of indicna- tion, for I feared he wns going to necuso mo of swallowing my knifo every timo I took a bite of pie, and I just mado up my mind that I would cut his heart out If ho hinted at such a thing'. Oh, it's a fact," ho replied: "I haven't enjoyed a mc.il for years." 'Mas it possiblo?" I asked in amnzo- mcnt. " Indeed, yes," ho said. " I'm all out of fix. I'vo no liver nt all, to speak of." I didn't suppose one liver would bo of any account to him. I rather thought that It no could get a counlo of canes of livers. and work them by reliefs, they might bo able to help along, especially if lio had them mado of tin. But then ho was a stranger to me, so I didn't feel justified in making tho suggestion. "lo," he continued, "my liver is 110 moro account than a lump of lead. I sup pose," lie said plaintively, "it's ns big as four of yours." , And he looked nt mo with appealing glance, as though ho expected mo to tako my liver out and let him examine it, as though it wero an oroide watch he wanted to trado for. j ( . . Now, if there is any thing in this wide, beautiful world that will mako mo mad, it is to havo a man who is ailing sit down and boro mo with a ljst of his diseases ami a do tailcd description of his anatomical de rangements. And tho men of free Ameri ca, it seems to me, would rather talk about their perishing livers than their never dying souls, and it always makes mo mad for a man to como at mo and burden mo with complaints about tho torpidity of his liver, ns though I wero his physician. I am proud confess to tho blindest, densest Ignoranco concerning my ownjnncr life. I don't know whether my Jlvcr is round or shaped liko a gun-oase, and I don't know whero it is, dud I don't enro a continental, although t always had tho impression that it a just under tho shoulder blades. So I said to tho man, with very great enthusiasm: . "Oh, do tell mo nil about your liver! I Bliould liko o fo know, nil about it! I am eo interested in sueh things." . Tho man seemed a little surprised at my sudden enthusiasm, but lie said there was not much to tell about it. It was ns torpid, ho said, as a snako in December. "Oh, charming, charming!" I oxclaimed. "And is it tamo? Do you let it run around loose, or do you have to keep it chained up?" The stranger stared and looked as though ho would like lo sit a little further away. Ho said he didn't just axaeily understand inc. "And how is your sploen?" I asked eagerly, "and ycur ventricles? And do tell ino about your thoraio duct, ami how do you get along with your tonsils? And havo you raised any new bones sinco I saw you l.istj and when did you hear from your diaphragm? Do tell mo about nil your viscera ; mako a clinic of yourself, nnd tell mo tho Christian names of all your bones and tho appurtenances thereunto appertain ing. Tell me" , , But ho got up find, slowly backed out of tho car, and tho conductor shortly afterward told mo that tho man with n liver told him that tho man who escaped from tho asylum at Jacksonyillo last week was in tho roar coach. llurdctlc'.i Jiaitroad Letter. EASTEiiATr rjETlTlTt'lIEJI. , A correspondent of tho New York Tribune thus describes tho celebration of Easier nt tho old Moravian town of Bethlehem, Pa. Going to Bethlehem, nnd staying at ono of tho quiet littlo hotels there ono is, aroused early on Ilastcr morning by ,tho .tound of music. , This year it ras At 2 ,.l?'tlopk that wo heard tho trombones of tho choir, playing, up in tho belfry of Die church ,an old chorale, to awaken tho sleeping world, and,, in ac cordance with an old German cijslom,to pro claim that "Christ, is risen.". Heard from a, distance, through the stillness of tho night, there was eomelhing wonderfully beautiful and touching in this first announcement of our Lord's Resurrection. Again at 3 and then at 4, the playing of tho trombones was repeated and nt a quarter to 5 tho first ser vico took placo in tho church. And thero is another custom which, among somo of tho older members at least, is till preserved, that of saying lo each ono whoirl they meet on Easier morning on their way to church, "Christ is risen," nnd they who aro greeted thus reply, "Christ is risen indeed." Tho church itself wascrowded j people como from all tho neighboring country to this service, and by two or thrco o'clock Ihcy could bo heard driving into town,. Tho pulpit was prettily decorated with flowers and greens, hut that vVr s all. Tho early scrvieo in tho church was in English, and lasted rather over half an hour; thero wero prayers, read ing of tho Bible, and hymns sung lo noblo old German chorales, all full of tho bright and jubilia,nt Easter spirit. But with tho close of the servico In tho church camo tho most impressive, part of tho ceremonies of tho day. The sun had not yet risen, but tho daylight was fast breaking, wjicn headed by tho trombones, tho whole congregation fprm cd in procession and walked out to tho "God's Acre," tho burial ground,thcro among tho graves of Ihoso that thoy had loved and lost, to hold a, porvico qf rejoicing, and to testify to their firm confidence in tho resur rection of thq dead. A moro lovely sccuo I havo hardly ever tecn,tho pure, fresh morn ing air, tho birds twittering and singing among tho trees, tho grass all studded with blooming violets, tho distant hills and trees touched with tho growing sunlight, these, with tho flood, of Eatcr thoughts and mem ories which rushed in on one, lent a beauty and impressiveness to tho servico which it is hard to convey any Idea of. Tho 6crvico it self was short, with, ns before, somo prayers, somo Bible lessons and much singing, but grand in its pure simplicity; nnd when it was over the congregation dispersed, many of them goinpj about .decorating tho graves of their friends with (lowers and vines.
