To Hake Pure Wine of Apples.
Being aware ihal much wine sold Tor gen
uine chnmpngne was manufactured from ci
der, wo informed a correspondent a short
time since of this fact in answer to his inqui
ry
The following letter waa’eliciled by the
readme of the answer referred to:
Messrs. Editors —l am well aware that
imitation wines are now extensively made in
the Stale of New Jersey from the juice of
the ap/ile, nnd more from the Harrison apple
than from any other variety, and the most
of nis made at Newark. Those lenowing
ones are correct with regard to its being a
mixture of poisonous drugs not fit for the hu
man stomach
Having been in the horliculiuar business
for over forty years 1 have had an eye single
to those spurious wines from the juice of the
apple
it is gratifying to me to think that when
you come to taste and lest mv wine—which
1 send vou accompanying this letter —you
will find a wine, a pure article, free from all
drugs, and not an imitation. The sample 1
send vou is eighteen months old, and made
after ihe following process :
Take pure cider made from snuod ripe ap
ples as it runs Iromlhe press. Put 60 pounds
of common brown sugar into 15 gallons of
the cider and let it dissolve, ihen put the mix
ture imo a clean barrel, and fill the barrel
up to within two gallons of being full with
clean cuter; pul the cask in a cool place,
leaving tho bung out for 48 hours ; then pul
m the bung, with a small veni, until fermen
tation wholly ceases, and hung up tight, and
in one year the wine will be fit for use.—
This wine repaired no racking, the longer il
stands upon ihe lees the heller.- Sterne

Gooseberry mildew.
li is well known that mildew is so destruct
ive tp gooseberries in tins country, that but
lew of me large and choice kinds ever per
iod much of ihcir fruit, and as a consequence
of one of the nicest of fruits is but little seen
in our market, in a ripe slate. The writer
of the Calendar for the Horticulturist, gives
a very simnle remedy, which if as good as
represented, is well worthy ol extensive ap
plication. The following is the remedy as
we read i., merely require the application
once. “ when the fruit is forming
Mildew mav be prevented, by watering
with soap-suds, over the branches. A radi
cal cure for this pest may he formed by mix
ing a pecK of lime and a pound of sulphur,
in ten gallons o' waicr ; lei it stand and set
tle A pint, in four gallons of water, syr
inged over the bushes when the fruit is form
ing, will keen mem clean ; cover the ground
with mamne, and spread a small quantity of
salt over n. to Keen as much moisture as pos
sible about me roots
Mulching is undoubtedly a good thing, as
it keeps the roots in a more uniform state as
regards heal and moisture and salt is recom
mended bv several different writers at this
lime. Our experience goes to prove that if
planted under the shade of trees somewhat,
they escape mildew, although the fruit is
small. The fine show varieties of England
are much more subject to it than the small
rough kmos The Whitesmith and Hough
ton, are perhaps the safest to plant.—Cow

Cisterns. —Every barn should have a cis
tern f. • the use of cattle in winter. A cis
tern is generally cheaper and belter than a
well, and as the distance to raise the water
is so much less than from a well, a vast
amount of labor is thus saved in pumping up
the wate:. A cistern 10 feel in diameter and
9 feel deep, will hold 108 barrels. Thai is
o very good size to make barn cislerns. If
you want more capacity, make two. A cis
tern 5 feet in diameter will hold 2§ barrels
to each foot in depth ; and 7 feel diameter,
9h batrels per fool; 8 feet, nearly twelve
barrels : 0 (eel, 13j barrels; 10 feel, 191
barrels per 100.
To Destroy House Flies. —Amongst the
miseries of human life.” during the warm
season of tnc year, may he reckoned the
tickling, and buzzing, and obtrusive famil
arilies of the common house flies. A cor
respondent of a British newspaper, (ells us
how to destroy these pests. He says :
Pour a little simple oxy mal {an article sold
by the druggist) into a common glass tumbler,
and place in the glass a piece of cap paper,
made into the shape of the upper pari of a
funnel with a hole at the bottom to admit the
flies. Attracted by the smell they readily
enter the Iran in swarms, and by the thou
sands soon collected, prove that they have
not the wit or disposition to return.
Petrified Hearts. —it is said that when
the venerable Joshua R. Giddinus,ol Ohio,
was so suddenly attacked with a fainting fit,
during a recent speech in the House, Dr. A.
K. Marshall, of Kentucky, immediately vis
iced him “ not as a patient,” he said,ghat
to see if the d—d abolitionist was dead.”
Words fail to express our contempt of the
despicable villain who could make such a
declaration. And yet such men as he, and
Herbert, and Brooks, and Keitl, are our law
makers. There is no depth of infamy to
which a people will not descend who send
such men to Washington as their Represen
tatives.
Childhood. —Oh, how beamiful is child
hood —how trusting in love—how pure in
faith ! Why, why must these early dreams
so soon depart I Why must the earth-stain
iall upon the spirit, and rob it of its bright
visions and confiding trust? Why must the
caregloom settle upon the sunny brow, and
bounding hear! ? Oh, ’lis sad—‘tis very sad
to think how soon life’s joyous hours are o’er
•—how soon its cares, and sorrows, and little
disappointments, falls coldly on the enthusi
astic spirit.

The Laughing Hero.
Il was the morning of the 17thof March,
1836—Aurora, mother of dews and mistress
of golden clouds, came -as she almost ever
comes to the living scenery of the plains of
Goliad—a thing bf beauty, queen of the sky,
on a throne of burning amber, robed in the
crimson of fire,'.with a. diadem of purple,
and streamers,of.painted pink. Oh | it was
a glorious dawn.for the poet to sing'qf earth,
or the saint to pray to heaven; blit poet’s
song nor saint’s prayer made not the matins
of the place and the hour. Alas, no ! it was
a very different sort of music.
A hundred hoarse drums roared -the loud
reveille that awoke four hundred Texan pris
oners and their guard four times their num
ber of Mexican soldiers the elite of the Chief
Butcher’s army.
The prisoner’s were immediately sum
moned to parade before the post; in the main
street of the village, and every longue uttered
Ihe involuntary exclamation of confidence
and hope. ‘Thanks, Santa Anna ! He is
going to execute the treaty ! We shall be
shipped back to the United Stales ! We shall
see our friends once more! Such were the
feelings with which the American volunteers,
and the few Texans among them, greeted the
order to form into line.
The line was formed and then broken into
(wo columns, when every instrument of mu
sic in the Mexicon host sounded a merry
march, and they moved awtiy with a quick
step over the prairies towards the West.
Five minutes afterward, a singular dialogue
occrred between the two leaders of the front
columns of prisoners.
“ What makes you walk so lame, Colonel
Neil? Are you wounded?” asked a tall,
handsome man, with blue eyes, and bravery
(lashing forth in their beams.
“ Col. Fannin, 1 walk lame to keep from
being wounded ; do you comprehend?” re
plied the olher with a laugh, and such a laugh
as no words might describe—il was loud, so
luxurious, like the roar of iho bteakers of a
sea of humor ; il was, in short, a laugh of
the inmost heart.
“ I do not comprehend you, for I am no
artist in riddles,” rejoined Fannin, smiling
himself at the ludicrous gayety of his com
panion so strangely ill-timed.
“ You discover that I am lame in each
leg,” said Col. Neil, glancing down at the
members indicated, and mimicking the move
ments of a confirmed cripple, ns he laughed
louder than ever. .“And yet,” he added in
a whisper, “ I hare neither the rheumatism
in my knees, nor corns on my toes, but I
have two big revolvers in my bools ?”
“ That is a violation of the treaty by which
we agreed to deliver up our arms,” Col.
Fannin, mournfully suggested.
“ You will see, however, that I shall use
them before the sun is an hour high,” replied
Neil. “Ah! Fannin, you do not know the
treachery of these base Mexicans.’’
At this instant the sun rose in a sky of ex
traordinary brilliancy, and a million flower
cups flung the rich odors abroad over the
green prairie, as offering to the lord of
light, when the mandate of ‘ halt’ was given
by one of Santa Anna’s Aids, and the two
columns of prisoners were broken and scat
tered over the plain, in small hollow squares,
encircled on every side by Mexican infantry
and troops of horses, with loaded muskets
and drawn swords. And then came a mo
mentary pause, awful in its stillness, and dis
turbed only by an occasional shriek of terror,
as the mosuimid among the captives realized
an impending storm of fire and extinction of
life’s last hope.
And then the infernal work of wholesale
murder begun, and a scene ensued such as
scarcely might be matched in the very an
nals of woe itself. The roar of musketry
burst in successive peals like appalling claps
of thunder, hut could not utterly drown the
prayers of the living, the screams of the
wounded, and more terrible groans of the
dying!
001. Fannin, fell among the first victims,
but not so the giant Neil. With the order
of the Mexican officer to his raeo to fire, our
hero stooped almost to the earth so that the
volley passed entirely over him. He wailed
not for a second ; thrusting a hand into a leg
of each boot, he rose with a couple of six
shooters, the deadly revolvers, and commen
ced discharging them with the quick rapidity
of lightning into the thickest ranks of his
foes.
Panic stricken with surprise and fear, the
Mexicans recoiled and opened a passage,
through which Neil bounded with the spring
of a panther and (led away, as il wings were
tied to his heels, while half a dozen horse
men gave him chase. For a while il seemed
doubtful whether the giant Colonel would not
distance even these, so much had (he perils
of the occasion increased the natural elasti
city of his mighty muscles. But presently a
charger fleeter than the rest might be dis.
cerned gaining on his human rival, and ap
proaching so near that the dragoon raised his
sabre for a coup de grace. Neil became
conscious of his danger, and hastily slacken,
ed his speed, till the hot stream of smoke
from the horse’s nostrils appeared to mingle
with his <-ery hair; and then wheeling sud
denly, he fired another found from a revolver,
and the rider tumbled from his saddle. The
victim then renewed his flight.
A mad yell of grief and rage broke from
the remaining troopers as they witnessed the
fate of their comrade, and its effect was im
mediately evident in the augmented caution
of their pursuit—for they galloped afterwards
in one body, thereby greatly retarding their
progress, so that Neil reached the river be
before them. He paused not a moment, but
plunged headlong down a steep bank into the
current and struck for the other shore. The
dragoons discharged their side-arms ineffect
ually, and gave over the chase.
In a few minutes, Neil landed, and as he
fell satisfied that he was really saved, burst
into an insupportable convulsion of laughter,
and exclaimed : “It will kill me just to see
how astonished the yellow devils looked,
when I hauled the revolver out of my boots I”
