very eminent wine house of Messrs. Ruinat
and Son, OF Rheims are agents for Herrles,
FarQuhar and Co.'S notes. Having called up
on them ~ cash one of these. NJ. Ruinart, jun,
conducted me over the wine cellars, which are
very extensive, and all subterranean, consisting
Ofthree underground stores, one beneath ano-
ther, all mined out of the limestone rock. The
wine, which has received the last attention
which il requires, and is ready for expediting to
the consumer, is packed in large square masses,
bottle above bottle, and side by side, with no
other preCautiOn to keep them steady than lath
passing along beneath the necks of one layer
and the butts of the next layer above. They
generally send the wine to the consumer at the
age ofthree and four years, but after the first
winter it is all put in bottle. The stock, there
fore, appears immense, and indeed it is very
large for not only are different qualities reqnir-
ed, but also different descriptions, to suit the
varying tastes OF their customers in England,
America and Russia, to which countries Messrs.
RUnart make their chiefeXportS. A gentleman
with whom travelled told me that he could
Guy very good sound Champagne at ChalonS for
two francs bottle, and was then going TO pur-
chase hundred bottles at that price; but re
Spectable wine merchants never send any to
England under three francs bottle. What is

"We were permitted to examine one of the

from which it appears that for several years
past that distinguished firm have been in the
custom Of renting great deal Of money to
Ireland, sent by emigrants residing here to as
sist their oppressed and destitute friends " at
home" 1t has been nearly all in very small
sums, from five and ten dollars, the most nu-
merous class of amounts, up to twenty, thirty,
and so on, as the industrious and kind-hearted
servant girl, or laborer, could gather, and re-
membering the deprvations and poverty to
which friends at home were subjected, would
bring il to these generous and charitable agents
to remit for the solace and assistance OF those
from whom they were separated for ever
From two, three, TO six and eight bills Of ex-
change are drawn every day for these purposes,
and in these small amounts, showing plainly the
narrow circumstances and great numbers Of
those who use this channel of imparting to their
friends portion ofthe comforts which they have
found in the land of their adoption, and which
has no truer friends nor more patriotic citizens
than themselves. These remittances Mr.. Bell
assures us amount to near Thirty Thousand DOL
lars year! and as friends and admirers Of the
race which manifests such warm and unchang-
ing feelings, such generous liberality, we may,
not invidiously, ask whether there be xly
other class Of adopted citizens of whom the like
can be shown, not merely in amount but in
kind, as this of the warm hearted IRISH"
Other classes of adopted citizens may do the
same, but the only cases of the kind, which have
fallen under our observation, are Irish. We
have directly known several-of female domes-
tics between the ages of twenty and thirty, who
regularly RENTED one half their wages to their

Yes: hold thy hand upon my brow
1t long hath burnt-'tis burning now,
With all the anxious thoughts that lay
Like lava Goals along life's way!
Aye! press my throbbing temples down
Beneath that hand;-I will not frown:
And II, instead of restless care,
That hand was ever pressing there,
How few would be the tears I'D weep!
How light would be my careless sleep!
But what in future years will be
of this dear hand the destiny2
Will it but grasp at pleasures wreath,
Which fades as soon as mortals breathe
On its frail petals? or, as now,
OF paid illness battle the brow2
Will it the cup of balm bestow,
On lips where parching fevers glow?
Scatter such wealth as Heaven may give,
That suffering virtue yet may live?
And will it oft be raised in prayer
To Him who soothes all mortal care?
All! on that Rock fain would lay
This little hand, and bid it stay!
Tho rugged, 'tis the Rock Of life,
And still deies the oceans strife:
And woman's soul, so fral and fair,
No safety finds on earth but there.
