AGRICULTURAL.
American Grapes.

The Catawba aeseryedy stands at the
head of the list Of all American Grapes
both for table use and for making wine
1t is cultivated extensively near Cincinna'
ii, and from it excellent Hook wines have
been made, equalling the best that come
from Europe, 1t can grow in all parts Of
New York.
The Isabella is undoubtedly better
known and more extensively cultivated
than any grape in this country. 1t is har-
DIV and vigorous, and, like the Catawba,
exceedingly prolific, both kinds often pro-
ducing ten bushels to single vine. From
the Isabella an excellent wine is made,
iequalling, when it has little age, the best
Madeira.
The Elsinburg is esteemed by many as
a table grape. It is without pulp, sweet
and delicious favor, the fruit small but a
great bearer.
The Longworth's Ohio, or Segar-bo1
Grape, is an excellent dessert fruit, but
small, very similar in appearance to the
Elsinburg it is without pulp and produ'
ces large punches, sometimes measuring
fifteen inches in length. 1t ripens early,
and is an excellent bearer.
Nor.on's Virginia Seeding is in ap-
pearance and size of fruit very similar to
Longwor.h's Ohio and Elsinburg. Ii is
very productive both in the garden and
vineyard, and especially valuable at the
South, where many kinds rot IN wet sea
sons.
The white Scuppernong, is the great
wine grape of the South, and is found
growing wild from Virginia to Georgia
1t is known from all other grapes by Its
small leaves, which are seldom over two
or three inches in diameter. AT the South,
it is prodigious bearer, one vine having
produced one hundred and fifty gallons Of
wine in one season. For many years an
excellent wine has been made from this
grape. This grape is only suited 10 the
climate of the Southern States.
The Alexander, or Muscadel, is an ex'
cellent grape, and makes first rate vine
1t is very hardy, and is not surpassed by
The Catawba.
The Powell Grape produces fruit tha
is easily preserved in jars for winter use
and; on this account, it should meet with
great favor.

POETRY.
ADDRESS TO A MISER.


BIZ LEONARDO.
Inhuman wretch! Mankind's worst foe,
Fly quickly, fly, the yengeful Tyre,
Nor stop to list the tales of woe,
Your MsER's fate inspire.
At midnight hour-when good men slept,
And prayers ascended up to God;
Amid Jour gold with stealth you crept,
Nor feared the Christening RoD.
Wrapt in the most de6asing rags,
You count Jour gloss, treasures o'er'
And kneel composed among your bags
To pray-aye, pray for more.
You held communion with thy gold,
When palsy shook thy withered hand,
Nor once did think your NIsER soul,
Before your God must stand.
When at your door the widow stood,
And humbly craVed the MisER's MITE,
Your ear was deaf-your heart did brood
Alone on treasures bright.
When God at last shall wave his fan,
And sweep thy wealth like chat away
What then must be thy fate, o, man.
Thou miser of to-day.
nlustrious fool dost thou not know,
When that dread hour Of death shall come
That wealth will add but TO your woe,
Nor saVe'you from Jour doom.
nl-guided wretch when death shall come,
Can gaudy wealth your soul then save'
It can but place gilded tomb
Ger an obliyious grave.

ANNELLED WIRE EoR FENCEs.-ln a
conversation with Mr.. Grant, of tanning
mill notoriety, he remarked that anne He'd
wire never rusts. He stated that he had
now a wire screen to eellsr-window,
which has been very much exposed, on
the North side Of The house, for thirteen
years, and until the chestnut frame is quite
rotten, while the wire, although of No.
l6, and never painted. is sound and good.
He remarks the same fact in regard to
wire, used for tanning. mill sleeves. We
also have some experience to the same
point.
In putting up some wire around poul-
try ward, TO prevent the fowls from flying
over the pickets, (which, by-the-bye only
four and a half feet high, with two
wires above, and answered good pur-
pose,) we used bright wire: This rusted
off, and failed entirely in one season. We
then used annealed wire, which, although
much finer, is still sound and good, after
three years use.
Mr.. Grants opinion corroborated by
our own experience, is, that annealed wire
exposed to the atmosphere, does not rust,
al least, not enough to destroy it, and that
il is better preventive than galvaniziDg,
or any other process.
This important fact should be borne in
mind by all who are intending to build
wire fence. Sal. Post.
