A WIFE WANTED.

Ye fair ones attend I've an offer to make you
In hymenials soft bonds am anxious to live.
For better, for worse, a companion I'll take you,
Provided, you'll fill the description give.
neither expect nor can hope for perfection,
For that never yet was a bachelors lot,
But choosing wife, I'd make selection
Which many tn my situation would not.
I'd have, let me see-Pd not have a beauty,
For beautiful women are apt to be vain;
Yet, with a small share, would think it duty,
To take her, be thankful, and never complain.
Her form must be good, without art to constrain it,
u And rather above than below middle size,
A something, it puzzles my brain to explain it,
Like eloquent language must flow from her eyes.
She must be web bred, or cannot respect her,
Good natur'd and modest, but not very coy;
Her mind well inform'd-'tis the principal nectar
That sweetens the cup Of hymenial joy.
Her home she must love and domestic employment
Have practical knowledge of household affairs,
And make it part of her highest enjoyments,
To soften my troubles and tighten my cares.
Her age would have it at least to be twenty,
But not to exceed twenty-five at the most;
And the girls Of that age being every where plenty,
hope to get one of that numerous host
Not fortune I ask-I have many predictions
For glitter or show, or the pomp of high life;
I wish to be bound by the cares of affection,
And now have drawn you the sketch of a wife.

AGRICULTURAL.
THE GRAPE CULTURE.

Extract of an Address on Horticulture, delir
cred before the CentaH Agricultural Society
Of Georgia, at Macon, October, 18Th 1851, By
Rt. Rer. Stephen Elliott, Jr.
The culture of the Grape is at a very lew ebb
in Georgia. With the exception of the smooth
of good grapes. Even the coarser grapes of the
country are by no means a certain crop; and
with the exception of the Scuppernong, none
can be counted upon in every season. The
grape seems to need, more than any fruit know,
a certain combination of circumstances; and
when these meet it is as prolific and as certain
as our blackberry. When l walked over the
vineyards around Cincinnati, rising terrace above
terrace, to the very summit of their hills, and
saw the luxurious clusters hanging by wagon
loads upon their vigorous stocks, could not but
feel that it was not cultivation but soil, climate
location, which made the vast difference. The
very same varieties of grape had been cultiva
ted with infinite pains in Georgia, but had not
at all repaid their cultivators, scarcely furnish
ng enough for the use of the table, far less the
wine-press For any thing like wine culture
the banks of the Tennessee, from Knoxville to
Muscle Shoals, offer, in my opinion, the finest
field, with the best prospect of success. The
vine seems to love the neighborhood of rivers,
where they are fanked by hills of moderate
height, or even by mountains, and can find the
drainage and nutriment necessary for its sue
cessfuf growth
But while we may be denied the grape for
Its wine, it is entirely within our power to have
II. at very little cost. in abundance as a table
fruit We speak Of the vine clad hills of France
and we speak truly, but the table cranes of
France are not comparable to those which are
raised in England by artificial means, where the
outdoor culture has been long abandoned
These artificial means are entirely within our
reach at far less expense than in England, and
there is no farmer of any enterprise. who might
not have an abundance of the finest table grapes
IN the world, at no other cost than little pains
IN gaining information and putting it in practice
For the last two years / have been running
the Black Humburgh, the Muscat of Alexan-
dria, the Chasselas, and other foreign grapes,
upon the rafers of my green house, and the
past summer they bore very fine fruit, which
came to high perfection. The only trouble was
the preparation of the border, and this a little
labor can effect.

CURING HAMs.-Mr A. H. Campbell sends to
the Wheeling Gazette, the following mode Of
curing hams, which took the prize at the late fair
at that place.
After the meat is thoroughly cooled, cut and
trim the hams very close and then rub them
well with salt, pack close in a barrel, and after
laying three or four days make brine of the
following ingredients: To every 100 lbs. ham
swallow gallons water, 9 lbs. salt, lbs. sugar,
q OF. saleratus. The brine should be boiled and
the scum carefully taken of, when cold pour it
on the meat-from to weeks should be al
lowed according to the size of the hams and
the temperature of the CELLAR for the meat to re-
main in pickle. After the meat is hung up, al
low two or three days to dry, then smoke with
as little fire as possible green hickory, with
sasatras in small quantities, Soon as the meat
is sufficiently smoked each ham is taken down
and carefully wrapped in paper, then bagged to
prevent the depredations of flies, and hung in
cool, dry place. out of the reach of rats and mice
