important; and although similar use has been
made OF the sacharometer in other lamentations,
Mr.. Mccall is, beiiere, the first who applied it to
the art OF making wine. The authors whom have
consulted, give only general directions to add sugar,
money, &c so as to give the must the taste oil that
which proceeds from great vintage, to boil
part OF the must down to half one third or one
fourth, leaving the degrees of sweetness consis-
teace to which the mast is to be reduced, subject TO
vague and uncertain discretion.
The method used by Mr. Mccall relieves this
important process from uncertainty Thus, if
am net mistaken in aributing its origin to him, the
first step towards establishing fixed and certain
principles in the art Of making wine, has been taken
by an American; and while the art In our country
is yet in its infancy. This gives earnest Of fu-
ture improvement and encourages the belief that
America will, IN few years not only rival, but eI-
Get Europe r he general quality Of its wines.

TIME.

What strews this earth with ashes and with DUST
The festive hall, where once the royal foot
ofpomp and grandeur trod-where once the song
of mirth and music rose in glowing strains,-
What makes it silent, solitary now'
What dims the studded diadem of kings,
And monds the despot's sceptre into cay'
IT'S tme-o'er all supreme-sefwilld in rule!
Whose throne is earth, and sway omnipotence!
Time THE remorseless, ceaseless foe of man!
That ever and anon confronts him here,
And, when with death his colleague, far and wide
Ruin lie scatters o'er the fairest scenes
Laughs at his folly, and his bafifed schemes;
Time that unwearied speeds his fatal course,
And in his pinons hides his poson'd darts!
How oft thou desolatst bright beauty's bloom,
And pluck'st the laurel from the brow of fame
And when Imagination has up-reared
The bright and tow'ring citadel ofhope,
How oft, with ruthless hand, remorseess heart
The condcapt pile, gded with halcyon dreams,
In ruin layest with the gnoblc dust!

THE BRIDAL DIRaE.

ne following Bridal Drge," though anonymous, is ev
deny from the pen Of one of the first writers of th
day
The bride is dead The bride is dead
Cold and frail, and fair she lieth;
Wrapped is she in sullen lead,
And flower is at her head;
And the breeze above her sigheth,
Thorough night and thorough day,
Fled away Filed awaye
Once-but what that avail
Once, she within her bosom
Pity, which did never fail,
A hue that dashed the lilly pale;
And upon her cheek blossom
Such yet never known,
All is past and overthrow!
Mourn the sweetest bride is dead,
And her knight is sick with sorrow,
THAI her bloom is "lapped in lead,'
Yet he hopeth, fancy-ted,
He NAV kiss his love tomorrow,
But the breezes what say they'
Fled away Piled away!

Woman thou solace when Oppression lowers,
Thou comfort in our days of misery
Thou healer of the broken heart,-the hours
Dearest TO memory have tale of thee -
When mans proud spirit meath misfortune covers;
Thou art near him with thy fAnd fidelity:
In cot or palace, hut or lofty dome,
Where'er thy heart dwells, is thy happy home.

PRINCE TALLEYRAND.
The following article is from The Bruss' Is Oracle
ofFeb. 12.

The following article IS from lne JrusS IS OIacle
of Feb. 12.
Prince Talleyrand, who may be consider
ed as the greatest statesman OF France, II
our time, is altogether disgraced at Court
1t appears certain that he has advanced
some truths, which have given offence, OF
the subject OF the proceedings OF ministers
and the bad consequences which will soon ol
late result from them. Under pretence o.
establishing his health, he has gone to the
Isle of Heres, on the coast OF Provence
where he now is. 1t is to be remarked, how
ever, that he is building at Nice, in the
States of the King of Sardinia superb
house, where it is supposed, he intends es
tabishing himself. Prince Talleyrard is
very acute in political matters, and Athe
parts he played during the course of the
revolution are singular. July IA, 1890, be-
ing member of the constituent assembly,
he officiated in his Office of Bishop of Au-
tun as priest, at the Champ de Mara,
in the presence of Louis XVI. and the citi-
zens of France assembled to witness the fed
Grafton. Afterwards he emigrated to the
United States of America. AT the time
when in consequence Of a new constitution,
the executive directory of the French re-
public was established, he obtained permis-
sion to return to his country, and was soon
after appointed by the directory, minister Of
foreign affairs. Holding this Office, he gave
at his hotel a magnificent fete, in honor OF
the ambassador from Algjers; fete which
attracted the attention of all Paris, though
accustomed for several years to the sdtAr-
naha Of demagogues. On this occasion !,
very thorough jacobln paper Of that day oh
served, that ii 7va8 not astonishing Mct a ci.
devant bishop should .feass so sumhtuonsiy
the .Algerine pirates. TOR ii zyas only tami-
!y tarty. Under Napolean, when Consul
and Emperor, Prince ralleyrand was twice
minister of foreign affairs. Having disap-
proved the impolitic and unjust Spanish war
he incurred the displeasure of his master.
The bishop of Autun had already abandon
ed his mitre and crosier to enter the state
Of matrimony, and his wife was often the
object of Bonaparte's bitter pleasantries
On the restoration of the Bourbons, Prince
Talleyrand rendered them important seryi-
ces, and it is not forgotten that he was a,
Vienna when the famous Congress met il
the capital Of Austria. From that time
without playing any brilliant part, he has
been "a jealous courtier at the Tuileries
The death of Louis XVIII. and the unbound
ed power of M. de Villele, have banished
him altogether. His intelligence, his expo
rience, and his great talents, appear to have
given umbrage to the powers of the day
They fear dangerous rival, who to the
most extensive knowledge of the political
situation of Europe. and the position Of
France, joins great skill in diplomacy, tho
rough insight into business, and an acuteness
0 tact which nothing can evade.
