Cultivation of the Grape.
Many are deterred from nuenipting the
cultivation of the grape in consequence of
its being generally considered a difficu!t
business, and one that poorly rewards us
for the expense and trouble. Notbiog.
however, can be more erroneous than this.
'An old and experienced cultivator of the
grape says :
"Cuttings are the best of all modes for
securing a supply of virus. For my pm:,
I mu for without root,, uttt-r many
i•xpetiments. Ali Cie ad vantage the rue
with roots has over the other is, that they
arc more sure to live: but they will not, in
general, make as thrifty phi us.''
Mr. James Locl:e, a well known and in
telligent florist, at Siug Sing, New York,
presents the following as his method of cul
tivating
the vine:—
If I was going to set out a vine-yard,"
says Mr. Locke, "I should set a row of
posts six feet npnrt, then another row of
posts parallel with them, thirty feet distant
from the first row. I would then plant a
vine at each post, and conduct a number
twelve wire from the top of one post to ano
ther. I then could use the intermediate
grotind for any shoit amp of vegetables 1
Wished. They would all do well, and by
Craining a single vine up a post and across
the wire, I would get full as many grapes,
if not more, than when the arbor was occu
pied; and the wind has no effect upon it,
the wire being so flexible that the vines do
not suffer so touch as those which are trained
on arbors. The posts ought to be high
enough to drive under with a horse.
"My time of training is late in the spring ;
at least, I never commence trimming until
the vine will bleed freely, which a great.
many people consider a great detriment ;
but who I cut out old %rood, I generally
cut it three or four feet longer than I intend
it shall be, so that when the first cut becoMes
gummed over, I cut away some more, to m
give the sap a free passage. I will ventur e
to say my vines are the longest in the State
of Ns.w York for their age. The great
difficulty with me is, they are so loaded with
fruit that I am Obliged to pick off large quan
tities while green In consequence of the
superior flavor of my grapes, owing, I think,
to the surface of the ground being covered
and tilled, I
. have no trouble.in selling them
in advance, as I have now done for the last
two years, Messrs. Hope, corner of Chamber
Midwest Broadway, have engaged them.
"In trimming, I suffer no old wood to re
main that I can possibly remove, and trim
the ones I wish for bearers entirely smooth.
I also make a second trimming in the course
of the season, by removing all the middle
growth."
My,own experience in the propagation
of the grape, fully corroberates the correct
ness of Mr. Locke's views. I consider cut
tings far superior to layers, not only in con
sequence of the ease with which they are•
obtained, but because, in my opinion, they
make more healthy and vigorous vine. In
setting them, I have found the following to
be an excellent method. Into holes
,five
feet long, two wide, and' eighteen inches
deep. I throw enough of rotten leaves and
forest mould, mixed with about one-third of
its bulk of old, well decomposed manure, to
fill them up level with the surrounding soil,
and press it down closely and compactly
with the foot. Over this I then pour as
much urine, which has previously under
gone petrefaction, or old soap suds, as will
completely saturate it, and over the whole
with a sprinkling of gypsum and copperas
in equal parts. The cuttings, which 1
choose to have of the thickness of my little
finger, are then taken from the parent stock,
each three and a half feet long, and thrust
into the bed in a slanting direction—two
u s, - at - ens being te - frubove-the quifuue,
and from two to four cuttings allowed to
each bed. These measures are merely pre
cautionary; as were there a certainty of vines
living, one cutting would be enough to each
hill, and one bud above the surface as good
as Is dozen.—After inserting the cutting, a
small quantity of fine, rich loam is drawn
over the surface, and as artufull of straw
placed upon each bed, secured by a few
stones, or a little soil, to prevent its being
displaced Or, shaken by the - winds: Native
varieties may be ph'uted in the fall, but the
most usual time for acting foreign varieties
is immediately subsequent to the spring
pruning. Those who have time, can, if
they choose, take up the roots of our inch-'
venous varieties ; hut they will gain little,
as cuttings properly managed, will grow
full as rapidly, if uot more so, after the first
year and make larger and better vines. As
io graf ling the grape, it is rarely neeessa
r, but when circumstances demand it, the
op.tration is performed with as much ease
and certainty of success, us the cherry or
the apple.
The Pedigree of Washington.
The pedigree oraeneral WashingrrinTas
traced! and illuminated by Mr. Mapleson,
carries back his descent to William de
burn, llert-
Lord of the Manor of Washington, in
the county of Durham, England. From
him descended John Washington of Whit
field, in the time of! Richard 111, and ninth
in descent from John, was George, first
President of the United States. The mo
ther of John 11'ashington, who emigrated to
Virginia in 1657, and who was great-grand
father to the General, was Eleanor Hastings,
daughter and heiress of John Hastings,
grandson to Francis, second Earl of Hun
tingdon. She was the descendant, through
Lady hliyttingdon of ()enrol-, Duhe of Cla
n lice, brother of King. Edward IV., and
King. Richard the 111., be Isabel Nevil.
daughter and heiress of Richard, Earl of
Warwich, the King—maker. Washington,.
therefore, as well us all the descendants of
that marriage, are entitled to quarter the
arms of Hastings, Pole, Earl of Salisbury.

Secession at the South.
A ftrr a temporayy lull, the cry of ceres
slim lots again been raised in South Caroli
na. A letter to the Washington Union,
front Columbia, S. C., says "Secession is
determined on by the leaders," . and the
Union says this assurance has been con
firMed by South Carolinians of high charac
ter, who profess to be acquainted with what
k passing in their State. The Charleston
Nlorcury of the tith inst., publishes a letter
from a prominent Alabama politician, from
%%Huh we extract the following:
F.veiy wan tutu has 1,,01;ed philosophi
cally upon Ut , prci,ent State ;:flitirz , , 'mkt
hav i;lado tip his tni . ,l(l that Iltere

Carolina. Virginia, who should he the
Southern Vanguard, is timid, nod will not
lead ; and the other surrou odinfr States must
have some one to follow. None will lead
but your brave little State, and if she, does
hot do it, and do it soon, all is lost. If she
falters, our common enemies will be encour
aged, and wreck and ruin will be our doom.
There is no possible expectation of con
certed action between the Southern States.
The two attempts at a Convention in Nash
ville, conclusively prove it. It is synony
mous with submission to place State action
upon such a contingency. Let South Car
olina go out of the Union by herself, and if
the Federal Government dares to raise her
hand against her, the slave States will secede
in a body, and fly to her rescue. Indeed,
when one bold spirit acts, the more 'timid
will do likewise. it is my opinion that the
South will never do anything until some
State withdraws frotn the Union alone, and
the fears of the others are quieted in their
disappointment as to war.' Cowardice is at
the bottom of our recreancy. All feel our
wrongs, and but few have the spirit to re
sent them. Every day that passes schools
us to submission, and a year or two more
will make us slaves. If South Carolina has
not degenerated, let her act without•delay:

Life of SiQuke.
This apostle was born at Antioch, the
metropolis of Syria, a city distinguished for
its commercial wealth, its delightful situa
tion, its schools of learning and the urbanity
of its inhabitants. St. Luke had the advan
tage of a liberal education. But he was
not content with the learning of his own
country ; he travelled for improvement into
several parts of Greece and Egypt, and be.
came particularly skilled in phyzic, which
he made his profession.
It is believed that he was skilful in ano
ther art, namely, painting. An ancient in
scription, found in a vault, near the Church
of
. St. Maria Via Lata,) the place where St.
Paul is said to haie dwelt,) mentions &pie
' sure of the Blessed "Virgin, "ttita ext off, ab
Luca depictis." "One of the seven painted
by Luke."
St. Luke was a Jewish proselyte ; but at
what time ho became a Christian is uncer
tain. He became the inseperable compani
on of St. Paul in all his travels, and his
constant fellow-laborer in the work of the
ministry. This endeared him to that apos
tle, who seems delighted with owning him
for his fellow-laborer, and in calling him
"the beloved physician," , and "the brother
whose praise_is in the gospel."
St. Luke wrote two books for the use of
the Church,—his gospel and the. Acts of the
Apostle ; both of which he dedicated to
Theophilus, a compound Greek word which
signifies "a lover of God," hence some com
mentators suppose the dedication to be in
tended not for any particular individual,
but for every sincere christian.
In both of these treatises, his manner of
writing is exact and accurate,—his style
noble and elegant, sublime and lofty, and
yet clear and perspicuous, flowing with a
natural grace and sweetness admirable adap
-tetl-to-alriztorical-subjet. . -
This World and the Next
What a beautiful idea is expressed in the fol.
lowing paragraph, by George D. Prentice, editor
of the Louisville Courier: •
"There is but a breath of air and a beat of the
heart, betwixt this world and the next. And in
the brief interval of painful and awful suspense,
while we feel that death i.s present with us, that
we are powerless and he all powerful, and the
last faint pulsation here is hut the prelude to
endless life hereafter; we feel, in the midst of the
stunning calamity about to befall us that earth
has no co,npensating gnod to mitigate the sever
ity of our loss. But there is no grief without
some beneficient provision to soften its intense
[less. When the good and the lovely die, the
memory of their good deeds, like the moonbeams
on the stormy sea, lights up our darkened hearts,
and lends to the surrounding gloom, a beauty so
sail, an sweet, that we would not, if we .could,
dispel the darkness that environs it."
A Newspaper Printed in Gold.—We are in,
&hied to Mr. Simmons, of Oak Hall, who has
just returned 'from a business, visit to California,

look at a copy of the "Alta California," printed
in gold, and designed for the great exhibition in
London. The paper is white satin, printed on
both sides ; with some preparation of the real
dust, so as to exhibit a gold face. The idea is a
good one, and although printed in gold is no new
thing, it is not common to beautify 'newspapers
in that manner. The printing specimen not on
ly•shows what can be done, but renders the pa•
per a more emphatic illustration of the character
and productions of El Dorado.—Boston Tram
A Compliment worth Ilaving.—A Mexican his.
tory of the Mex lean war, lately published, says
of Gen. Scott :
humanity on all occasions, his kindness,
aq evinced to every individual, and his sympathy
and attention to the sick and wounded, endeared
him to the whole army, officers arid men. In
fact, the very generosity , and excellence of his
heart led him sometime.; to far, and he lass since
reaped in ingratitude the good seed sown in the
fulness of his noble sensibilitiis."

is said will leave 'Washington on Saturday next,
for St. Louis, and other points South and Wtst,
to locate military asylums, as provided fot by an
act of Congress of the last session.
Copper Face Type.—The New York Courier
and L•'nynirer made its apperance on Monday in
a new and beautiful dress, of which it remarks:
This tyPe has been submitted to the process re.
newly invented, by which it receives a copper
face. The attempts which have been made to
substitute a harder metal for ordinary type met•
al, have hitherto been failures. But the method
by which this type hat been hardened has been
so for tested as to induce us to venture upon ex
periment with our pregcnt font, probably the

reason to think that it will rot disappoint our ex•
pemations ; but of that we shall have more to say

a collection will be tiiken up to defray ex

The public will please_acceptiny_thanks
for the marked favor which they have been
showing my institution. Three years ago
Lopened it with four pupils ; but the num
her of scholars has been steadily increasing,
and from 45-50 have been in constant at
tendance during the present session. I shall
strive to make my school as good as any
private institution in the State.
If the increase of pupils continues, a two
story &Imo! house with several comforta
ble rooms will be erected during the coining
summer.
At first I declined taking boys under 10
years of age; but I have changed my origi
nal intention, because I found that very ma
ny of the boys that entered my school were
badly prepared, and their mental habits
wrongly trained, and because I know, that
all success in after years is almost entirely
dependent on the tevattnent and training
which the child receives during the first
two or three years of its school life. Confi-
dent that much more can be done with
young children, than is generally accom
plished in most of our schools,—l have con
cluded to enlarge my Primary Department,
and have engaged an additional Assistant
for that purpose. I shall henceforth be pre
pared to take all applicants not under 6
years of age, and the Tuition for all under,
10 years will be $3 per session of 5 months.
I have engaged the services of a lady for
toy Primary Department, believing that her
influence will be salutary both upon the
morals and manners of my pupils. Clod
has wisely ordained the united educational
influences of both sexes in the family, and
why should the same arrangement not prove
eminently successful-in the school.
Indeed it has been tried ; and ladies are
now engaged as Assistants in the Primary
Departments of some of the best male
schools.
The discipline, arrangement of studies,
the choice of the method, are exclusively
the work of the principal.
The summer session will commence on
the first of May next.—
Parents who desire to send their children
to this school, are requested to apply at an
early period to 1 '
