The Man I Love.
I:=
I love an open countenance,
. A kind and noble face ;
The index of an honest heart,
That loves the human race;
A brow on which a smile is thrvn'd,
Like sunlight on a flower,—
As open as the regal skies,
With beams of love and power !
I love the kind and welcome glance,
That proves were not alone;
And oh, how sweet to find at times
•
Some feelings like our own !
A heart that beats with purest hopes,
To pity and to bless !
That strives to make earth's comfhrts more
Its pains and lollies less I
I love the man whose generous smile.
Is given with his hand—
Who sees his equal in all men,
And all men equal stand !
Who sees not the distinction made
By human laws between
The man who has and who has not,
But love's from what he's seen !
1 love the.man whose heart is true,
•
Who seldom wears a frown ;
And loves all men, from him who toils
To him who wears a crown!'
With mildness ever on his lips,
A free and open mind,—
A brow with mental grandeur span'd,
A soul supremely hind !
The Bond Malden,
OR THE MERCHANTS HEART.
Matthias, the Levantine merchant, had spent his
whole life, from his boy-time upward, in traveling
for the suite of gain to the East and to the West,
and to the islands of the South' Seas. He had re
turned to his nativr place, Tarsus, in the full vigor
of manhood; and was reported to have amassed
great wealth. His first step - was to make a prudent
call upon the governor, and to present him with a
purse and a string of pearls, in order to bespeak
his good will. He then built himself a spacious
palace in the midst of a garden on the borders of a
stream, and began to lead a quiet life, resting after
the fatigues of his many voS-ages. Most persons
considered him to be the happiest of merchants,
but those who were introduced to his intimacy
knew that his constant companions were thought
and sadness. When he had departed in his youth
he had left his father and his mother, his brotiter;
and sisters, in health, although poor; but, when he
returned in hopes to gill the remainder or their
days, he found that the hand of death had iailan
upon them every one, and that there was no one
to share his prosperity, and a blight came over his
heart.
The gossips in the bazaars soon began to talk of
his case, and it was then that Hanna, the Christian
tailor,'one day said in a loud voice to his opposite
neighbor, the Jewish money-changer, -I will lay
the value of my stock that the merchant Alatthias,
will find consolation in marriage; that he will
choose the most beautiful of our maidens; and that
he will found a family which shall be celebrated
in this city as long as its posterity endures." To
this the Jew replied: "What is the value of thy
stock'? Three jackets returned upon thy hands, a
rusty pair of scissors, an old stool and some bun
dles of thread? Verily the risk is not great." The
Christian Said a prayer or two to himself, that he
might not curse. his neighbor and then answered :
will throw in Zarifeh, the ebony-black girl whom
I bought last spring to follow my wite when she
goes out with the little Gorges to the gardens.—
What sayesi thou now ?"
The Jew pondered awhile, leaning his g ray beard
on the breast of his caftan. He rememered that
forty years betore he, too, had returned from travel
with his money bags, and had found his house des
oliiie; and that he had devoted himself ever since to
moody reflection, and to -the heaping of nwhboub
upon muhboub. The thought had therefore become
fixed in his mind that when the middle time of life
comes, there can remain no affection in the heart,
either of Christian, or of Jew, or of Mahommeilan,
but for gold. So he said : "Let the odds be equal.
I will venture five hundred pieces against thy five
hundred pieces, that within five years the merchant
Matthias does not take to his bosom a wile."—
"Agreed!" cried the Christian. The neighbors were
called in as witnesses, and every one laughed at the
absurdity of the dispute.
Matthias was not long in learning that a wager
had been laid upon his future life; and., in passing
through the bazaar, he stopped one day and said
sternly to the Christian tailor: "Son of rashness,
why hast thou risked more than the whole of thy
havings upon a matter which is only known to
Heaven? -I have looked upon all the maidens of
my people, and no emotion has stirred me. Verily
thou wilt become a prey to this Jew."
"My lord," replied the tailor, smiling, "it is im
possible for a good man to remain alt-his life alone.
If thou wilt come' to my i. ouse and see my wife
and my little Gorges dart ing in the arms of the
ebony-black girl, Darifeh, hou wilt surely relent
I
and seek at once to be as \im. Perhaps thou hest
not well looked around thee. There is Miiiam,
the daughter of our baker, who is of majestic pres
ence, being as big as thyself She will suit thee to
a hair; and, if thou desirest, my wife shall make
propOsals for thee this afternoon." Matthias laughed
and frowned, and c went on; and the Jew, chuckling
in his beard, said: "0 Hanna, -for how much wilt
thou free thyself from thy wager? Wilt thou pay
a hundred pieces and let all be said ?" But the
Christian replied: "In five:years Saint Philotea wore
away a'stone as big as this stool with her kisses
and her tears—in five years the
.heart of this man
may melt.
Matthias went not on his way unmoved after his
conversation with the Christian tailor. He began
to think that perhaps, indeed, he was wearing away
his life bselessly in solitude. There was certainly
no beauty and no satisfaction in that manner of
being. It was better to take to himself a compan
ion. But where find her? Amongst all the frivo
lous daughters of Tarsus, was there one with whom
he would not be more lonely than with himself ?- -
Their mothers had taught them nothing but love
of dress, and love of themselves. How could their
capricious and selfish natures find pleasure in com
munion with a man whom this world had sore tried,
and who wishee to wait in meekness and in pati
ence for the world to come?
These meditations disturbed Matthias, but they
did not render him more unhappy. They occupied
his mind; they relieved the monotony of his exis
tence; they prevented him from always turning his
eyes inward upon himself; they forced him to look
abroad. He went to the houses of his friends and
once more studied the perfections or imperfections
of their daughters. His object was so manifest that
the joke went round that he wished to save the
Christian tailor from ruin. People jested with the
Jew as they brought in their money to change.—
But, although Matthias saw many beautiful girls
who threw the glances oltheir almond-shaped eyes
encouragingly towlard him, he saw none that pleased
his heart; and, suddenly retiring from society, he
shut himself up for a whole year in his palace, see
ing nobody, and taking back melancholy and dis
content for his only companion. -
At length Matthias began to feel, fife desire of
change, and made it a practice every morning to
hive his mule saddled and ride out to the base of
the mountains; and then, putting foot to ground, to
wander until evening amidst the rocks and valleys.
On one occasion he went so far that he could not
return to where he bad left his mule and servant
before night-fall, and lost his way. After going
'hither and thither for some time, he was compelled
to seek the shelter of a cave, and to wait until morn
ing. Sleep overtook him, and he did not wake un
til the sun's rays, slanting through a cleft of the
rock, played upon his eye lids. He got up, and
having said his prayers, went forth, and beheld a
beautiful green meadow stretching along the banks
of a stream which came from a narrow gorge at
no great distance. He did not recognize his where
abouts.' ar.d was doubtful of finding his way back,
until he saw, at the further end of the meadow,
some object moving rapidly to:arid fro. It was a
young girl chasing a cow that had escaped from
her, and ran with a cord tangled about its horns in
the direction of Matthias.
Ah!'said he, 'I will catch this unruly animal,
and then make its keeper point nut to me the di
rection of Tarsus.' So he tucked up his robes, and
being strong and vigorous, soon came up to the
cow that was wantonly g.illoping hither and thither
and brought it to a stand-still. 'May blessings light
upon thy sturdy arms, stranger.' exclaimed the girl,
running up out of breath and unwinding the rope
lion) the cow's horns, 'it Naharah had escaped they
would have beaten me.:
'And who could find it in his heart to beat thee,
child r said the merchant, as he looked at her, and
wondered at her delicate
'The fathers,' she replied, pulling Naharah in the
direction she wanted to go. 'Triple blessings on
thee, again I say, stranger!'
Matthias forgot all about Tarsus, and walked by
the side of the girl, asking questions of her. He
learned that she was the bond-maiden of a monas
tery situated in those mountains, and that her duty
was to take out the cows, and especially this one,
every morning to the pasturage.
'Do not follow me,' said she when they came to
the entrance of the gorge from which the stream
flowed, 'for I am forbidden to walk'with those
whom I may meet.'
Matthias thought awhile, and then bade her adieu,
having learned what path he was to follow. and re
turned to his palace full of nothing but the image
of this simple bond-maiden.
'Verily.' said he to himself next morning, for
got to ask the name of that girl. I must learn it
in order that I mar send her a recompense.' Un
der this poor pretense he mounted his mule, and
rode toWard the mountains, and began his walk at
-the usual place, and repaired to the cave and passed
the night there, and was out on the meadow before
dawn. He soon saw lour or five cows driven out
of tile gorge, and the girl followed them, leading
the frolitsome Naharah. 'There is no need for thee
to-day, stranger,' said she, smiling playfully, 'unless
thou wilt drive my herd down to the water to
drink, and take care that the black one goes in first,
or else she will gore the others.' Upon this, Mat
thias took the branch of .1 tree and began to cry
'Hon! hoo !' like a herdsman, and to beat the flanks
of the black cow, which scampered away and led
him a long chase round the meadow, so that he
did not come back until all the other animals had
taken their morning drink, and the girl was sitting
on the bank laughing at him, and wreathing a
crown of flowers to deck the horns of Naharah.
Thou dost not know. thy'new business,' said she
to Matthias, as he came up out of breath; where
upon he began to currse the cow which bad led
him that dance and to think that he had made
himself ridiculous in the eyes of the girl. However
they were soon sitting side by side, in pleasant talk,
and the merchant learned that the name of the
bond-maiden was Carine.
By this time he had claim made up his mind to
marry her, it she would have him; but although re
flecting upon his wealth and her poverty, it seemed
scarcely probable that she should refuse, his mod
esty was so great that he dared not venture to talk
of love. They parted early, and Mathias went
away promising to return on the marrow. He did
so; and for Many weeks continued these meetings
on which, for the first time since his youth, he lound
real happiness. At length, one day he took cour
age, and told Canine that he intended to take her
away and marry her and make her the mistress of
his wealth.
'My lord,' said she, with simple surprise, has
madness stricken thee! Dost thou not know that
1 am a bond-maiden, and that there is no power
that can free me ?'
'Money can free thee, child,' said Matthias. . .
'Not. so,' replied she, 'tor it is an ancient privi
lege of this monastery that bondsmen and bonds
women shall forever appertain to it. If any free
man casts his eye upon one of us, and desires to
marry her, he must quit his state and become a
slave, he and his descendants forever, to the mon
astery. This is why I was not married last year
to Skandai, the porker, who offered twenty pigs
for my freedom, but Who refused to give up his
liberty.' Matthias internally thanked Heaven for
having given an independent spirit to the porker,
and replied; smiling, 'Believe me, Canine, that the
fathers love money—they all do—and I shall pur
chase thee as rpy wife.'
'lt is nonsense,' said she shaking her head, 'they
refused twenty pigs..
will give twenty sacks of gold, baby,' died
Mathias, enraged at her obstinacy. Curiae replied
that she was not worth so much; and that, if she
were, it was of no use talking of the matterfor the
fathers would not sell her. 'By Saint Mason!' ex
claimed Mathias, can buy their whole monastery.
He was mistaken. The monastery of Self ka was
the richest o,( all the East, and the head of it the
most self-willed of men. He cut short the propo
sitions of the merchant—who went straight to him
that very day--by saying on no account could the
liberty of Canine be granted. 'lf thou wouldst mar
ry her,' said he, looking, as Matthias thought,more
wicked than a demon, 'thou must give up all thy
wealth to us, and become our bondsman.' With
this answer the lover went sadly away, and return
ed to Tarsus, saying to himself, 'lt is impossible to
give up, not only the gains of all my life, but even
my liberty, for the sake of this cow-girl. I must
try to forget her.'
So he went back amoug his friends, and began
to walk in the bazars. When the Jew saw him, he
cried out 'Hail, oh wise man, that will not burden
himself with the society of a woman.' But the mer-
chant frowned black upon him, and turned away;
and to the surprise of all the neighbors, went and
sat down by the side of the Christian to lor, and,
taking his hand whispered to him : 'Close thy shop
my Blend, and lead me, that I may see, as thou
didst promise, thy wife and thy child.'
'Which child ?' said the tailor. 'I have now three
Gorges, Lisbet and Hanna.'
•All of them,' said Matthias; 'and also the ebony
blaak girl, Zarifeh.'
Oh P said the tailor, have set her free, and she
is married to the pudding-seller, round the corner.'
- 'lt seems,: said Matthias to himself, 'that it is the
law of Heaven that every one shall marry.'
The tailor shut tip hls shop and took the mer
chant home and showed him his domestic wealth
—that is to say, his pretty wife, his three stout chil
dren, and a coal-black girl called Zara, who was
kneading dough in the court-yard. 'My friend' said
Matthirs, 'what would'st tbou do if the powerful
were to say to thee, thou must be deprived of all
this, or else loose thy liberty and become a slave.'
'Liberty is sweet,' replied the tailor, shrugging
his shoulders; 'yet some live without; but none can
live without love.'
Upon this the merchant went. back to his palace
and mounted his mule and rode to the monastery
where he found the court yard full of people. am
come,' said be to one of the fathers whom he met
in the gate way, 'to give up my liberty and my
wealth for the sake of Carine'
'lt is too late,' was the reply; ‘Slcs.ndar, the pork
er has just driven in all his pigs, a'nd they are put
ting the chain round his neck in the chapel, and all
these people that thou seest collected are to be wit
nesses of his marriage with Canine.'
Matthias smote his breast with his hands,and the
sides of his mule with his heels, and galloped thro'
the crowd shouting out that nobody should be mad
a slave but he. The chief of the monastery, on
learning what was the matter, smiled and said,
That the porker had a previous claim,' but the
monks, who, perhaps, looked forward to the enjoy
ment which the merchant's wealth would afford
them, ingeniously suggested that he had the best
claim who hesitated least. Carine's opinion was
asked; and seeing both of her suitors resolved,heart
lessly condemned the enamored porker to liber
ty, and said: 'Let the chain be put upcin the
neck of merchant.' The ceremcay was immedi
ately performed; and, whilst the head of the con
veat was preparing to begin the interesting rite of
the marriage, brother Bong, treasurer of the mon
astery, set off to take an inventory of the wealth
which had thus fallen under his jurisdiction.
It is said . that Matibias never gave a single
thought to his lost property, being too much tib..
"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMABS THE GREATEST REWARD."
CITY OF LANCASTE
sorbed in contemplating the charms of the beauti
ful Carine. The only stipulation he made was,
that he should be allowed to go out to the-pastura
ges with her, and the next morning he found him,
self in sober seriousness helping to drive Naharah
and its companions down to the water's side.
Meanwhile the Governor of Tarsus heard what
had happened to Matthias, and was stricken with
rage, and caused his mule to be saddled and his,
guards to be mounted, and set forth to the monas
tary and summoned the chief saying, 'Know, 0
Monk that Matthias is my friend; and it cannot be
that he shall be thy slave, and that all his wealth
,shall be transferred from my city to the monastery.
He is a liberal citizen, and I may not lose him from
amongst us.'
The Governor spoke thus by reason of certain
loans without interest, and presents (over and above
the purse and the string - of pearls which the mer
chant had presented at his first coming,) with
which Matthias had freely obliged the governor,
who also hoped a continuance of the same. Where
upon the chief of the monastery hid his hands and
was humbled; and the governor and he parted with
a good understandsng and agreement.
It tell out, therefore, that after a month of servi
tude, Matthias and his bride were called before an
assembly of the whole monastery, and informed
that the conditions imposed were simply for the
sake of trial. Nearly all the wealth of the mer
chant was restored to him, and he was liberated
and led back amidst applauning crowds to his pal
ace at Tarsus. Of course he made a liberal dona
tion to the monastery, over and above a round sum
which Hoag the treasurer had not found it in his
heart to return with the rest. Being a just and gen
erous man, he not only -relieved the Jew from the
consequences of his wag er, but made such presents
to the Christian tailor, that he had no longer any
need to ply the needle for his livelihood. Tradition
dilates with delight on the happiness which Carine
bestowed on her husband, who used always to say,
'that with wealth or without wealth, with liberty
or without liberty, she was sufficient to bring con
tent into any house, and to make the sternest heart
happy.'
TDB PAUPER DEAD AT NAPLES. -A writer in the
Cincinatti Gezette gives the following account of a
visit to the place where the pauper dead of Naples
ace buried: "About two miles from the city, in a
large square place, enclosed ; by a high wall, there
are 365 cistern-shaped vaults or pits, with an aper
ture on the top about three feet spuare. These cis
terns ale some twenty or twenty-five feet deep by
twelve or fifteen feet in diameter, with the opening
covered by a heavy stone, and tightly cemented.—
One of these is removed by a portable Lever every
day in the year, to receive the dead of that day, and
it is then closedagaini for a year. They begin to de
posit the bodies about six o'clock in the evening, and
end at Inn. When I got there, about ten or twelve
people had already been thrown in, and were lying
promiscuously, as they chanced to fall, with head,
body and limbs in every possible attitude,—across,
over, and under each other. An old priest, two or
three attendants, and a few idle spectators of the
common sort were loitering about. Shortly attar
my srrival,a box was drouget, containing the body
of a child some lour or five years old, its hands held
a bunch of flowers, and a rose was in ets mouth.--
The priest mumbled a short prayer, sprinkled it
with holy wrter, and turned away,a man then took
the little fellow by the neck and heels, and pitched
him as lie wonld a stick of wdod: his head struck
the curb as he went in, and he went whirling to the
bottom, seeing the flowers that feel from his hand,
he took them up and throw them alter it. In a
few minutes more a man brought to the mouth of
the pit; the priest again prayed and sprinkled, the
attendants took him by the legs, and down he went
also. Then followed another child like the first,
and when I seas about leaving the ground, when a
fourth subject entered. The lid of the box was
thrown back, and it was the body of a young and
rather handsome female. She was apparently
about twenty, and died evidently from some short
illness. Her arms and face were round and full,
and she appeared more asleep than dead. The
prayers and holy water were again in requisition;
the attendants took her up roughly and tossed her
in. I immediately stepped to, the mouth of the
vault, and looked down; her liras, and those of the
dead below she had disturbed by her fall, were
still in motion. Her head was slowly turned, and
her hair, which was long, black aad luxuriant, was
settina °
in thick clusters across a very white and
naked body lying near her. For a moment the
whole horrid mass seemed instinct with life, and
crawling on the bottom of its loathsome charnel
house. I had seen enough : sick and disgusted, I
turned away, and moralizing on the difference be
tween such an interment and a peaceful one in our
own beautiful cemetery at Spring Grove, I mount
ed my volante, and returned to Naples, meeting on
my road some half a dozen boxes, great and small,
containing more victims for that insatiable maw
that opens its mouth but once a year to be gorged
with its dreadful banquet.
The bodies thus interred are generally from the
hospital, and the sight can be witnessed be one 365
times a year, Before the pit is closed, quick lime
is thrown in, and nothing but bones are left when
it is opened again."
MAnnuAGE.—Dr. Forbes Winslow, speaking of
marriage, says: Nothing delights me more than
to enter the neat little tenement of the young cou
ple, who within two or three years, without any
resources but their own knowledge of industry,
have joined heart and hand, and engaged to share
together the responsibilities, duties, interests and
pleasures of life. The industrious wife is cheer
fully employing her own hands in domestic duties,
Putting her house in order, or mending her hue
band's clothes, or preparing the dinner while, per
haps, the little darling sits prattling on the door,
or lies, sleeping in the cradle, and everything seems
preparing to welcome the happiest of husbands,
and the best of fathers, when he shall come home
from his toils to enjoy the sweets of his little par
adise. This is the true domestic pleasure. Health,
contentment, love, abundance and bright prospects
are all here.
But it has become a prevalent sentiment, that a
man must acquire his fortuue before he marries,
that the wife must have no sympathies nor share
with him in his pursuits of it; in which most pleas
ure truly consists; and the young married people
must set out with as large and expensive an estab
lishment as it is becoming those who have been
wedded for twenty years. This is very unhappy ;
it fills the community with bachelors, who are ,
waiting to make fortunes, endangering virtue and
promoting vice; it destroys the economy and de
sign of the domestic institution; and produces in
efficiency among females, who are expecting to be
taken up by a fortune, and passively sustained,
without any care and concern on their part, and
thus many a wife becomes what a gentleman once
remarked, not a 'help-mate,' but a 'help-eat.'
FATTEXIN6 Hous.—ln -he memoirs of the Phil
adelphia Society for promoting Agriculture, it is
stated, by Richard Peters, that, in fattening hogs,
dry rotten wood should be constantly kept in the
pen, that the hogs may eat it at pleasure. "Na
tare," says Mr. Peters, "points out this absorbent
(or whatever it may be,) as a remedy or prevent
ative. The hogs will leave their food- to devour
rotten wood when they require it. I have got lost
a fatting hog for more than thirty ye'ars, when I
used it; dut have suffered by neglecting it, Some
of my neighbors met with frequent losses of fatten
ing bogs, till I informed them of my practice.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8,11853.
Grape Culture at the West.
CINCINNATI, October, 1853
The grape-growers of the Ohio Valley are now
in the midst of their harvest, and the vintage will
be'the most productive ever had. The grapes are
remarkably well ripened, full of juice and saccha
rine matter. Not more than one-third of the crop
has yet been gathered.
The Ohio river is termed the 'Rhine of Ameri
ca,' and has gained this appellation through the
instrumentality of Mr. Nicholas Longworth, the
pioneer in this branch of horticulture in the Uni
ted States. He has now 150 acres of vineyard
under cultivation, and owns three wine cellars,
where wines are stored for fermentation and pre
pared for market, one of which contains 140,000
bottles. Mr. L. is seventy:years of age, but is as
vigorous and performs as much labor as many in
:he prime of manhood. He has accumulated an
immense property, his taxes the last year having
amounted to $17,000, and which is said to bp
larger than assessed upon any other man in the
country, William B. Astor, and perhaps one or two
,others excepted. He has long been a patron of the
fine arta, and the parlors of his residence are en
riched with rare collections both from nature and
art. Included in the latter is an exquisite bust of
marble; the first of Powers's productions, Mi. L.
early discovered the genius of Powers, and.lent his
aid in its development. Of late years his atten
tion has been chiefly absorbed by the grape cul
ture. For thirty years he experimented with for
eign grapes, with a view to their 'acclimation in
the United States. Six thousand tines of the best
Madeira wine grapes, and seven thousand from the
mountains of Jura, in France, besides other 'from
the vicinity of Paris and Bordeaux, were procured,
but were all thrown sway after a protracted trial,
being found inferior to the Catawba, a native of
North Carolina. Near two hundred varietiee of
grape has been tested, but the two best are found
to be the Catawba and the' Herbemont, which
makes a wine similar to the Spanish Manzinalla,
and which is to be more extensively cultivated
than heretofore.
The vineyards are generallysituated on the slopes
of the Ohio river, and nine•tenths ot them are til
led by Germans vine -dressers, who have devoted
their lives to the business. It has been customary
to give a piece of land of say fifteen to twenty
acres, with a house on it, to these Germans, on the
condition that the *nary shall plant a certain quart.
city of grapes each year in a proper manner, and
pay the. proprietor one half the proceeds ot the
vineyard.
In Ohio there are about 1500 acres of land ex
clusively devoted to grape-growing, between 300
and 400 of which are near Cincinnati. Within
twenty miles of this city, including a part of Ken
tucky, on the opposite side of the river, there are
1300 acres, and double the quantity of vines.-.
'More have been planted this year than wore last.
In Missouri, near Hermann, there are 500 acres
in Indiana 200 or 301., in Illinois about 100 ; and
in Kentucky the same; makng about 2500 acres in
all. It is estimated that Indiana, Ohio, and Ken
tucky will this year produce at least half a million
gallons of wine. The yield on some of the vine
yards will be equal to 700 or 800 :gallons,
allow
ing 2400 vines to the acre, planteth about three ft.
apart, in rows separated by a distance of three It.
Mr. Robert Buchanan, is ho is among the most suc
cessful cultivators of the vine, this year obtains.
about 800 gallons of wine from each acre of his
vineyard, which will nett him about $7OO per acre.
Some other vineyards will do equally well. Per
'sons, however, are not advised to embark in grape
growing, with the expectation of profit, if "it shall
be necessary to hire labor.
The German vine-dressers muster all capable
members of their family into the service, the wits
often being the most efficient. In this manner they
realize an adequate income. The fruit is purchased
from the vineyard men for from $5 to $6 per 100
pounds, (or two bushels,) a bushel yieldtng from 3i
to 4 gallons of wine. It is then mashed by the man
ufacturers in the city, and pressed. The juice is
then fermented in the cellars, and the sparkling Ca
tawba is in prime order for market at the end of fif
teen ortwenty months Mr. Longworthhasthreehuge
vaults, one of which will turn out 50,000 bottles
every year, and another 100,000 bottles. A third
cellar is capable of turning out 100,000 bottler year
ly of dry wine. Some portion of the cellars is occu
gied by immense butts, or cylindrical tanks, one
of which holds 5 ; 000gallons, or $5,000 worth of
wine, if bottled. The staves are about three inches
in thickness, and curve inward, so as to introduce
the arch, to resist the internal pressure. Other ob
jects quite as noticeable are the long rows of black
battles placed in a horizontal position, and stacked
up like cord wood in solid piles as high as one's
neck. In the cellars of the extensive native wine
establishment of Longworth & Zimmerman, are
twenty-four casks holding about 2,500 gallons each,
or 60,000 gallons altogether, of the vintages of 1850
'5l, '52: and it is expected to store 25,000 gallons
of this year's wine.
The Amertcan, wines are of two general varieties
the "still', and the "sparkling." The first is wine
that still undergoes vinous fermentation, or the pro
cess which transforms the sugar of the grape into
alcohol. '1 o produce a sparkling, wine, a second
fermentation is excited, by adding a little 'rock"
candy, and the alcohol, is translotmed into carbon , '
is acid gas. The demand for American wine has
greatly increased, and now exceeds the means of
supplp. There is at present a market for wines of
this description to the value of $l,OOOOOO annual
ly
The manner of cultivating the vine in the valley
of the Ohio is a matter in which many will feel an
interest in all parts of the country, A hill with a
southern exposure and a dry calcareous soil, with II
pourous sub-soilos preferred. Wet or spongy land
is avoided. The cuttings should at least contain
four joints, and be taken from wood well ripened ;
should be set out in a slanting positron, withthetop
eye even with the surface of the ground, though
covered with half an inch of light mould, if the
weathe is dry. Pruning is done from November
to March, and cuttings are preserved in cool cellars
until the ground is warm and dry, or mellow. The
first season's superfluous shoots are pulled off, leav
ing but one or two to grow,and but one eventually.
In the Spring the vine is cut clown to a,single eye,
and one stalk or cane allowed to grow tted to a
stake—es suckers being allowed to grow. The
second spring after planting, cut down to two or
three eyes' or joints, and the third year to four or
five, pinching off laterals and tying up, This year
twostalks are trained to the stake, and some grapes
will be produced. The vine is now established.—
The fourth year, pruning requires good judgment.
The best shoot of the former year is cut down to
sixor eight joints,and fastened to the adjoiniug stake
in a horizontal position, or bent over in the lorm of
a bow, and tied to its own stake. The other stalk
is cut down to two or three eyes, to make bearing
wood for the next season. Mr. Buchanan favors
the bow system. The time recommended for tying
the vines is wheu the buds begin to swell and look
white.—Journal of Commerce.

Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
premature decay generally arises from the destruct

the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the must apt to become its Victims front
n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
tnemselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis
led with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their sons and wards. Alas! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Dean, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Gough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex
