lfit be inquired why single eye is recommended
rather than cutting of sixteen inches long il, i
replied, that roots shooting from single eye, are
exclusively from ITSELF are much the strongest, and
strike more directly downward the shoot from il
has less pth in it, the wood Is hrmer and shorter
jointed, and comes sooner into iull bearing, and
appears to be much the most healthy vine. And to
these important advantages may be truly added
that thousand plants, fit to set out, may be raised
from the single eye with less labor and within less
space, either in hot bed, or in the open ground
than hundred plants can be raised from long cut
tings which have not, that know o one single
advantage in their favor and, in new country il is
of no small consideration that the same cuttings
will produce FIVE times the number OF plants.
| AS to the manner Of accommodating your vino
to its situation an active imagination would suggest
a volume upon the subject, and possibly unluckiy
miss the only direction suited to the case but for.
,unaely, the fact u.s. that very small share Of com.
mon sense will in all cases, be fully sufficient to
supply the deficiency; and very little more will be
required to apply the principle and practice here
laid down, to an hundred a thousand vines
whenever the people OF the country shall feel the
advantage, or necessity OF raising vineyards for
supply Of wine within ourselves. A few exam.
plies by men Of your standing, will lead them INTO
the practice, in the only way in which We hope
for speedy success. And pledge myself to YOU,
that whether you Immediately succeed or not, you
shall derive pleasure from the attempt itself, that
shall amply satisfy you for every expense, OF mo.
ney or time it shall cost you.

He wasa man of very considerable al
tainments both as scholar, a physician

violence were unboundsd. Early in life
he liberated his %patri;nonial slaves, from

detatigable labours and it is supposed
on good authority, that in the course OF
his life he has been instrumental in cir
culating nearly a million Of copies OF
the scriptures and other. valuable works
This in this laborious calling he was
principally actuated by an expanded
philanthropy, is proved by his entire
neglect of the mean OF accommodating
a large fortune and dying in compare

About five hundred gentlemen atten-
ded the barbecue given td Mr. Clay, in
the vicinity of Versailles, by the citizens
| of Woodford county, on the sth inst.
! After the usual patriotic ~toasts, the re-
yolutionary Congress, Washington,
Franklin, sc. and the Ex.Presidents,
we find the following among others.
Our Guest and late Representative,
HENRY CLAY, the eloquent and enlight-
ened ststesman-His distinguished SER
vices in the u of freedom, his indie
fatiga5le exertions in promoting Inter-
nal Improvements and Domestic Manu-
features, and his recent vote in the Pre-
sidential Election, entitls him to our
warmest appreciation.
La Fayetts-May his setting sun be
as mild and serene, as his meridian has
been glorious.
John Quincy .Adams-A Statesman
of experience and worth, whose choice
of a Secretary of State is not less de-
serving of applause, than'the preference
given to him as Chief Magistrate by
those who voted for him.
A Ball was given in the evening,
which was attended by a large number
of ladies and gentlemen.
On Saturday, the 18th, sbout 500
gentlemen and so ladies' attended the
barbecue given to him at Col Taylor's,
in Clark County. Music and dancing
gave life to the scene; the usual toasts
were given, and Mr.. Clay, Trimble, and
PresidentH oily addressed the company.
These are pretty striking evidences,
not only that the citizens of Kentucky
are ready to do bonuor to those who
have faithfully and ably represented or
served them; but also that they'under-
stand, as well as any set o people we
of,ths very best,& most delightful know

objection to receive in person an expo
sition Of one Of these barbecues, where
mirth s. music, wine s. dancing, the
celebrated beauties of Kentucky, to
boot, blend all their charms to make the
scene perfect. Put a bOa virant of the
moslem breed there, and he would

EARLY HAUNTS.

In all its wanderings still the heart is true
To that loved scene, where its young feelings grew;
Fen when its wthered hopes around it fall,
Like faded wreaths in some forsaken hall,
Still DER the waste of sorrow, unforgot,
Green and unfading blooms that hallowed spot
Its memory steals along life's sullen stream,
AS breaks DER clouded seas the setting beam.
Though brighter lands beyond the ocean lie,
And softer scenes there woo the raptured eye,
Yet to the pilgrims heart they cannot bring
The charm that breathed in youth from each fair
thing,
Around the haunts, where passed his infant hours,
Where life and feeling seemed to dwell in flowers !;
voice in every breeze--in leaves that hung
Upon the waving woods--a whispering tongue;
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-31

When heaven and earth seemed joined, the skies to
On oceans margin, and the mountain crest;
When, in the silent night his infant glance
Was cast in wonder on the blue expanse,
And gazing on the stars, so bright and fair,
He wished, e'en then, for wings to watt him there
With tiny hands, stretched upwards to it's dome,
Fen then the heart hath sighed for its high home,
And wept for other worlds, ere Yeti tear
Was shed DER sorrows, all undreamt of here;
Ere yet it knew that, launched on life's rough wave
Its bark mus: drift to that dark port-the grave.

MIDNIGHT CONTEMPLATION.

MIDNIGHT CONTEMPLATION.
About half mile from the town of Stafford, is
an excavation formed for the purpose of getting
sand not long ago there discovered large
quantity of human bones disposed in strata in the
earth. large shapeless stone, with perfect tho
somewhat rude, representation of the eight pointed
of the Knights of St. John Of Malta has also
been found. This circumstance, together with the
fact that brook few yards off bears the name of
Spttle, properly Sptal Brook Ca contrac-
ton for Hospital Brook, Spital Fields for Hospi-
tai Fields has given rise to the con lecture that
house of the Hospitallers stood upon the spot.
A visit to the place the of the following
lines.
Creations hlsh'd-the weary world
Sinks in the arms of dead repose,
And midnight's sombre shroud unfurled,
Nantes the face of human woes:
Sleep, placid sleep, the son of night
In silence wheels his drowsy fight,
And all is quet-not breath has power
To break the Sabbath stiffness of the midnight hour
The moon is up-her silver car
Dives through the pacing clouds, which seem
To thwart her way-each countless star
Pours from on high its twinkling beam,
Sweet contemplation what ght is this
For thy calm phifosophic bliss
In such sacred spot for here [ber
me mould ring WreCkS OF heroes lie on eafll COlQ
Look on yon sleepy mound whose side
Shews the fresh trace of busy toll,
And mark how bleaching bones divide
In ghasty nakedness the soil.
Relics of e ant strength are there
In crumbling ruln-skulls do stare
From out their earthly beds, and preach
In language stronger far than eoquence may reach.
We silent monitors that still
Hold on your mute harangues, unfold
What mighty souls were wont to fill
These frames Of more than mortal mould.
Ask not the dead-yon rough-hewn stone
Which the pale doth smile upon,
Can tell that here in slumber lie
Ihe valiant sons Of Malta's matches chivalry.
Oh how the witchery of thought
Can animate these crumblng slain,
Place them in battles fercely fought,
And bid them fight and die again.
Perchance yon skull by mattock rven,
And Wondering in the winds of heaven,
Meath Solma's proud walls hath planned
The bold assault, or nightly havoc of the Paynim
band
That shattered fragment huge and grim,
Like tower of strength in dark decay,
Hath shone the warriors plated limb
In hot contentious bloody day;
Hundreds have watched its signal dire,
And thousands fallen beneath it's ire,
When reused as from midnight trance,
choI ha,x
