The Cincinnati 'Chamber of Cimunerce in a
rccent leport on the business of that city, re
marks as follows : Another business which has
grown up, almost entirely since 1550, is the
waking et' Wine ; and which promises to equal
in amount that of the finest provinces of France.
Ily cont!iating the statistics of the Horticultur
al with tie fact, that numerous vine
yards love been set out, in the last year
or tw.,. 1-n may roitililent'y state that there are
not Itss than '2OOO WITS 11! . VilleS in
cultivation, in the vioinity of Cincinnati, of
which 1600 acres are ill full bearing. Ity the
average production of the last few years, this
area of vines will yield 700,000 gallons, and in
VOry slrort time it must be greatly increased.
Already dry and sparkling wines, and brandy
commanding, the highest priets, are made here.
and the demand for them is greater than the
supply. Mr. Longworth. the famous wine
grower Of Cincinnati. has just published an ar
ticle in which he says : Ours is the region for
grape eldture and manufacture of wine. The
wine countries of Europe have no native grapes.
Our hills and valleys arc covered with vines,
producing hundreds of varieties of grapes.—
Yet our S , domons have tel us that our soil and
climate is not calculated for the culture of the
grape and the manufacture of wine. I can par
don that opinion at north, where they have
the Fox and Frost grape only : but I now feel
assured that I have on trial a few kinds of
grape belonging to a cool region—that of the
northern part of the State of New York, and
Vermont, which will be valuable for wine. I
stn not prepared to judge with certainty of the
finality' of many kinds I have now on hand.—
But I hope this tall to submit some winesto a
select committee, made front new grapes, that
shall compare with seine of the wines of
Europe, of the same ago. if our temperance
non can be induced to respect the doctrines of
the alible, and not interfere with the culture of
pure wine, not many years will elapse till we
cannot only supply the United StateS with
Wine, but include all Europe.

The most common cause of a high shoulde•
is to be found in the abominable practice _!
undressing girls' necks as low as the hanging
WEB
j •vation of the child's health, ought to be
covered. Many parents have thus been the
cause of their daughters' distortion, if not of
more serious consequences : and, therefore, in
growing girki who have the least disposition to
slip their shoulder out of their dress, most
especial care should be taken to prevent the
possibility of keeping up this habit, by having
the dresi made so high that it cannot slip down,
and then, the sensation of the slipping being
lost, the child no longer continues to hitch up
het• shoulder•, and by a little attention to her
proper carriage the mischief, it not of long
standing, may be got rid of.
A ileinarliable Drerani
Every body in Allegheny county knows old
lawyer Martin. He had the coolest way in the
world of transferring money from the pockets
of his clients to his own. Old Ben Brooks, a
Atli: but close-fisted farmer in the neighbor
hood, was one of his clients, and in their con
ferences there was always a pretty sharp con
test as to rhn should outwit the other, the
lawyer gem-rally getting the upper hand. One
day they lout been sitting an hour or two, try
ing their wits to get the advantage of each oth
er, when the farmer got excited, and suddenly
turning to the lawyer, said :
~ Martin, I had a remarkable dream last
ii o lit."
" Ah ! had you ?" said Martin, " what was
It was a terrible one," said .lirooks, look

fairly god over the effects of it yet. I can't
keep it out of my mind for a minute."
" Well, tell it," said Martin, evidently struck
with the farmer's manlier,
" I dreamed," said the other, " that I was
in hell, and the devil sat in his big chair. point
ing out their places to his new subjects as they
entered, one after another. I was s'iFpriscd to
See so many of my old neighbors conic. in. At

chair, said :
" Here. lawyer Martin, you can take my scat
—you can fill it a great deal better than I
can."
The 111-Looking Horse.
.4 Pun that was no Joke.—A Frenchman near
the Canada line in Vermont sold a horse to his
Yankee neighbor, which he recommended as
being a very sound serviceable animal, in spite
of 'his unprepossessing appearance. To every
inquiry of the buyer respecting the qualities
of the horse, the Frenchman gave a favorable
reply—lint always commenced his commenda
tion with the depreciatory remark—" He's not
look very good." The Yankee caring little for
the looks of the horse, of which he could judge
for himself, without the seller's asistance, and
being fully persuaded, - after minute inspection,
tint the beast Was worth the moderate sum
asked for him, made the, purchase and took
hint home. A few days afterwards ho return
ed to the seller, in high dudgeon, and declared
that he had been cheated in the qualilyof the
horse: •
" Vat is de mattaire said the Frenchman.
" Matter !" said the Yankee, • " matter
enough—the horse can't sco !—ho's as blind as
a bat !"
•' Ah !" said the Frenchman, " Vat I was
tell you ? I was tell yoti ho was not look ver
good—be gar,-I don't know if he look at all."
When lovely woman veils her bosom
With muslin fashionably thin,
What man with eyes could e'er refuse 'cm
From casually peeping in?
And when his ardent pie returning :
. The dry goods heaves to deep drawn sighs,
Would not his fingers' end be burning,
To press his hat down o'er his eyes ?

%Vila Honey Gathering.
Wild honey, or, as the natives call, it " choo-•
ger bag," is collected by a small stingless bee,
not so large as the common fly. Thohone`y-nest
is generally found at the summit of remarkably
high trees. When the lynx-eyed native dis
covers it from below, there he will stand, with
his head up, making a dead point at it until it
is attained by his gin, who immediately begins
with a small tomahawk, and by a rapid action
d' the wrist L to cut a notch in the bark of the'
tree, large enough for her great toe to rest upon.
Winding her left arm round the body of the
tree, she adroitly raises herself to this notch,
and there rest the ball of the great toe of the
fight foot. She then cuts a notch above her
head, and quickly ascends to this : so on in
like manner until she reaches the dizzy height
to which she is directed from below, exhibiting,
throughout the most astonishing stretch-and
pliancy of- limb, and the most wonderful ab
sence of all fear of danger. She recklessly ad
v.nces towards the ex t retui ty of a fragile bough
which appears ready to break. , If she cani
reach the honey, she seizes it, and places it in
a sort of calabash slung round her neck, at the
same time holding her hatchet in her, mouth.—
Where she finds it impracticable to reach the
honey, she cuts off the branch, which, with its
mellifluous appendage; falls to the ground at
the feet of her sable lord, who stands below.—
The honey is of delicious flavor, after it has
been carefully separated from the comb, the'
cells of which are generally filled with small
(lies. The natives, however, devour it just as
they find it, and are very fond even of the refuse
comb, with which they make their - favorite bev
eragwlled " bull,' and of this they will drink
till they become quite intoxicated.—Brozen.

• Invention of Glass.
Glass is made by melting together sand or
flint, and an alkali, either potash or soda.—
The invention has been known to man many
hundred years, perhaps before the Christian
era. Neither the date nor the mode of its dis
covery aro certain, though it is sometimes
stated that it was found out by an accident
and that some sailors making a large fire on
the seg beach, the potash contained in the ashes
of the wood they used, united by the heat with
the beach, and melted into glass. This occur
rence is supposed to hate taken place on the
coast of Syria, where it is certain the first glass
was manufactured.
