Among these was a first cousin of hers. Antonio-.2flguel, who had • inherited 'wealth from,bis parents, but was fast squandering it, in gaining and dissipa tion.

A few days afterwards, the squire re mained working in his garden some time after the usual tea hour. His wife grew impu..,ent of delay, and went out to find hint.

Accordingly with a few friends, I turned my face towards what is most appropriately styled, Pleasant Valley, at' the'head of Crooked Lake,-and at the northern extremity of which, nestles the pretty little village of Hammonds port, and here I was fully as much de lighted as surprised at what I saw and learned. Upon the 111118 and slopes at the left of thisi'village, and continuing thence down the western side of the lake, , was ono continuous tvrritOry of vineyards. • These hills, too steep and poor forordinary cultivation'and'eereal crops, were literally covered with thou sands of tons of that delicious ifruit, which 'in eastern 'climes Was thq em blem of .plenty. I learned that, there was between four and five thousand acres thus covered, rind much Of it in fine bearing condition. This land, which but a few years ago was almost worthless, and was frequently sold for taxes, is now worth from one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars per acre.— The soil appears to be peer and' stony, and in many places so steep as to require: being worked in terraces, and on enquir ing about immures, I was told that, such parte "of -it• as would not 'raise white beans, might jJe improved, a little by fertilizers. From this point is annually shipped to New York Mid other mark ets,,thousands,of tons of,Catawbas, Di anas, Delaware, Isabellas and other de licious grapes. In fact' althost all the choice grapes in this country, and many of the finer imported varieties come to perfection here. These lands I NVItS told, when under good cultivation will pro duce an average annual yield of two and one half tons of grapes per 110 . 0, and some times as high as four tons.— The price per pound, for the finer sorts, such as the Delawares, Dianas and Joanas, Is about fifteen cents, and for Is abellas, about eight cents at the vine yards. Take an average crop of Dianas at two tons per acre and fifteen cents per pound, and you have the handsdxne return of ,six hundred dollars per an num for each acre. From appearances. (although I Confess I did not ebquire,) after the vines,are, once fairly growing, one man can ,attend as•many acres of grapes as"he could of corn. The prun ing is doneln the ,winter,: and the soil has,to bp kept, clean and clear from Creeds. The ericidiky' may be' made,' where is the marketfor • all this quanti ty ofgrapes? The simple reply, is, that, the'one-hundredth' part of the people are notnow supplied with thiS , delicious fruit, although this eiiterprise at Ilani mondsport has stinted competition a long all of those beautiful inland lakes, iu the State 'of New York. ConneCted with these vineyards aro several large manufactories of native wines. , Ameng the, most important aro , the Pleasant Valley Wine Company, and the Urbana ' Wine Company—one taking its 'hate' rrni-i, tholhenutiful . .vallev and the Other wine cellars• patterneu hater 1,111.! Tang , models in Europe, and they‘are mak ing, Win() to their fullest capacity, and are constantly increasing theirfacilities for doing so., They have taken great pains to procure the services of some.of the best wine l makers of Europe, gen tlemen of general. intelligence and pe culiar skill in their business, and are making win s which are - pronounced by competent judges as among the finest in th world. The stock holderp and offices of these companies are gentle mien iThigh character, and they assur ed m that these wines contained noth ing but the pure juice of the grape, and the most highly refined sugars purchas ed in tue fore' of rock candy. If this is so,' and of which I have not the Aight est doubt, then certainly. these are far superior to the miserable compounds we buy under fancy names and fancy pi- MI, 'and try to make ourselves 'believe are pure and genuine imported wines. I am glad to say that the various brands of these wines are beginning, to be ap preciated and are' shoving out the spu rious stuff in the general market. The demand is becoming in excess of the . suPpiy, and large quantities are sent to the Pacific coast even. - I was told that the stock of the'oldest company Was ac tually worth upon the books, five hun dred per cent premium. The' Pleasant Valley Wine Cellars are situated near the head of the valley, and their best wine is known as "Paris Exposition;"-- a name adopted by them from the high commendation given it at the Exhibi tion, whose name it bears. This IS a sparkling wine, and I think is made from the juice of four or five different kinds of grapes, mixed in such propor tions as to - give it the finest flavor and quality: ,The cellar of the Urbana 'COmpany . is a' feW Miles down the lake. Their choicest sparkling is' called "IM -1 perial i v and is made, I believe from one kind, of . grape. , A generous rivalry is carried • on between theSeCompantes, each 'striving to produce the choicest and best wines, and it 'would be very difficult,for any one, save a connoisseur to decide which was the best, and I as sure you I am not enough of a wine drinker to undertake it. ' One thing 1 do s know, that I admired tbein both, and while I consider them as fine wines, I felt that I was• not drinking noxious 'compounds. These companies make other brands of sparkling and still wines which are elegant and fine and are eon stantly. experimenting npori distinct va rieties of the grape and upon mixtures. But I cannot in a limited letter give you an idea of half I learned and saw. I write'this note to call attention to the place, and I am assuming nothing I think, when in the name of the , people there I invite the good citizens of our county to visit the locality, and perhaps learn something to benefit us. We have upon our Mountain lands, thou ands of acres apparently, as. poor as this was, and it may be can be made as valuable and productive, who knows? The ex- periment is worth trying, and perhaps, we may secure another luxury to add to our lager and saucr-kraut. As I have' j assumed to invite our citizens to visit 1 these localities, I can assure them, it' experience be a criterion, that they will be cordially received. They have an nually an exhibition of grapes, peaches,' apples, and other choice fruit, and it was upon one of these occasions that I visited them. The weather was un propitious, but bad as it was, there was a fine assembly of prominent men from every part of the State, and there was but one expression, and that was "sat isfaction at the exhibition and courte ous 'reception ' and gentlemanly atten tion of.tho officers of these companies and the citizens generally." Each seemed to"vie with the others in mak ing every one pleased and at home, and in giving them all the information t hey possessed. It would be a pleasant place to steal away for a quiet week, and walk over their hills, and ride up and Eli down the beautiful lakes I hope anoth er season to see•inany - of our citizens ' there, for at the next exhibition, in the language of John Gilpin's bard, .

He had a sister, who was acidic); too, and his constant compan ion. These two used to wonder all day long. They wondered at the beauty of ,the flowers; they wondered at the height and blueness of the sky ; they wondered at, the depth of the bright water; they wondered at the goodness and power of God' who made the lovely world. They used to satto one another, some times," supposing all the children upon earth were to diej, would the flowers, and the water, and the .sky be sorry? They believed they would be sorry. For, said they, the buds are the chit then of the flowers, and the little play ful streams that gambol down the hill sides, are the children of the water ; and the smallest lirightspeeks playing at hide and seek in'the sky all night, ,must be the children of the stars; and they would all be grieved to see their playmates, the children of men, no more. There, was one clear, shining star, that used to come out in the sky, before the rest, near the church spire, a.bo‘c the graves. It was larger and more beautiful, they thought, than all the others, and every night they watched for it, stynding hand in hand at the window Whoever saw it first, cried of t, "I see the star!" And often, they cried out, both together, knowing so well , when -it would rise and where. So they grew to be such friends with it, that, before lying down in their beds they always looked out once again, to bid it good night ; and when they were turning round to sleep they Used to say, "'God bless the star!" But while she was still very young, oh, very, very young, the sister drooped, and came to be so weak that she could lip longer stand in the window at night; and then the ehildren-looked sadly out by,hiniself, and when he saw the star, turned around and said to the patient pale face on the bed, "I see the star!" . anti then a-smile Would come upon the face, and a little weak voiceuF:ed to say. "(Jot' bless my brother and the. star !"- And so the time came—all to,* soon !, when tile child looked 'out eine, and when there was no pale face on - the bed'; and when there was a little grave among . the - graves, not there before; and when the star madelong raysi down towards him, as be saw it through his silent tears. Now, these rays:wore' so ' bright, and they scorned to wake such a shining way .front earth to Heaven, that when the chilc,l'en went to his solitary Led, he dreamed that, where he Was, he saw al Uniir Of people take up that sparkling road •1* angels. And the star, opening, sliuwbd him a great world °flight, where many more such aiw.els waited to receive them. All these angels, who waiting, turned their beaming eyes upon the people who were carried np into the star; and some Caine out from the- long rows _in which they stood, and fell upon the peonle_'s necks, an d downayenues of joy. • But there \V LIS many angels who did not go with them, and among on he knew. The patient face that once I. t laid upon the bed was glorified radiant, buthishear,t found out his siSter among all the host. 7 His sister's angel lingered near the entrance of the star, and said to the leader among those who had brought the people hither. "Is my brother conic ?" And he said "no." She was turning hopefully away, when the child stretched out his units, and cried "(); my sister, I inn here Take me!" and . then she aimed' hr e beaming eyes upon him, and it, was night; and the star was shining into the room, making long rays down to waids him as he saw it throuoh his tears. from thii hour forth, the children looked out upon the star as on the home he was to go to, when his time should copse ; and he thought that he' did not belong to the earth alone; but to the star too, because of his sister's angel gone before. There was a baby born to be a braille - , to the child; and while he was so haw that he never yet had spoken a word, he stretched his tiny fort» out upon his bed_ and died. Again the child dreamed of the open star, and of the company of angels, and the train of people, and the row of an gels with their beaming eyes all turned upon those people's faces. Sold his sister's angel to the leader— "lshiy brother come ?" And he 'Not that one, but an other." As the child beliehMl;s7 - brother's angel in her arms, heeried : S'o, sister, I am here!—take ale !" And dfie tumid and sniiied upon him, and thelstar was shining. ""' , He grew to be a young inan'; and was busy at his books when an old servant came to 111 tii and said— " Thy mother is no more. I bring her blessing on her darling son." Again at night he saw the star, and all the former company. • Said his sister's angel•to the leader— "ls my brother Collitl: . " And he said, "Thy mother!" And a mighty cry of joy went forth through all the star, because the mother was re-united to her two children. And he stretched out his arms and cried, "0, mother, sister and brother. I am here! Take me!" And they answere& him:. "Net yet." And the star was shining. he grew to be a man, whose hair was. turning gray, and he \Nils sitting in his chair by the tire-side heavy with grief, and with his face bedewed with tears, wi l e the star opened once again. Said his sister's angel, to the leader— "lsany brother come?'' And he said, "Nay, but his maiden daughter." A nd the star was shining.

Return of the Grasshoppers.—The crop, prices, . '[c.—Politicatexcitemelu.—Butinest, d:c., tie: - .A.TCHISON, KAN., Sept. 6, 1868. DEAR AGITATOR :—Lgce portions of Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Ne braska and lowa, Northern Kansas is . again visited by the grasshoppers, but their advent this year is about a month earlier than last, and their destruction this season is far more extensive than Last. Most of the corn fodder, abtiage, and garden truck generally has ibeen -: laid waste by, these red-legged pests, and they are notv depositing their' eggs -! in the ground by the millions. Corn= -t -ing so early this year their eggs may perhaps hatch out this fall and cold weather will put an end to their miser able existence. But this depends on • the weather we are to have this fall, Should it remain cool as it just now is, they will not , hatch this year and we shall be cursed with young grasshop pers next Spring, and perhaps have ouo , crop destroyed. Tile wheat crop was never better than , in Kansas this year. It is a pity that more was not put in by the farmers since we have been visited with ayoung drouth and an army of grasshoppers, and have raised but little of anything else. Kansas this year has proved to be one of the best wheat producing States in the Union, and while the corn crop has been very sMall, still there is ' a fair crop, and our hardy farmers are ' not so despondent as they were a couple of months ago. 1 1 Corn has raised in price about one hundred per cent, in the past two months, and is now worth about seven ty-five cents per bushel, with a fair . prospect of reaching $1,25 in the win ter. The wheat crop has been solabun dant that the price of flour has (fallen $2 per hundred in the past two menthe; the best selling now at $3,75. .'t was - feared that the potato crop this - year -would be a total failure, but th late, rains have put the ground in sucha con dition that we shall have a prett fair crop. We ate having an abundance of sweet potatoes and they are selling cheap. The peach crop this year is onelo . f the largest ever known in this Beaton.— Our market is blessed daily with seine ;-- ten or fifteen wagon loads of them-and:'; they usually command from fiftycenti to one dollar per bushel. In a week more they will be a drug in our -mar- ket at fifty cents. Apples are lenty :, and sell for fifty cents and one dollar Per bushel. The country is now wild with politi cal excitement. Grant and Colfsix and Seymour and Blair are all that we! bear, - and but very little-of the two last can didates.
