FRoM lTALY-Ihe Grape Crop-The fol-
lowing is from the London Atheneum:
ain a letter from friend in Naples on vines,
mines and fiery craters, we have the following
bits of gossip: 'Vesuvus, which has been in a
state OF eruption during the whole OF the win
ter, last Saturday presented the following in
teresting phenomenon. An American gentle
man thus describes it to me: {" was standing
with my guide on the edge of the large crater,
when we heard a violent d0ise, and saw the
ground heaving on the side Of the crater until
the surface was broken and shower of stones
was thrown up." Such occurrences have been
by no means uncommon within the last two or
three years, showing great activity Immediately
below The surface. OF course, the guides pre-
dict an extensive eruption-snd when do they
not, i: may be asked, during Lent! Another
and much more hopeful prediction is that we
are to have very profitable season this year.
The crops look in a most healthy state, and the
vines have not presented SO healthy an ap-
pearance for several years; the buds thrown out
are full and many, and it has not escaped atten-
ton that the roses and grasses, which at this
season during several years have been afflicted
bv the viEe disease, are now perfectly free -
The lntendants of Provinces are, however, SEN
ding round printed directions for the use of sui
phur, but many people, after several trials, do
not mean to repeat it this year. They grant the
fruit is saved, but they add that the wine made
fr' m the sui phured fruit is not drinkable. Such
an opinion is expressed by the wlne-sellers OF
Ischia, where large quantity of wine was made
last year under the influence OF sulphur.

Fairest and loveliest of created things,
BY our great Author 10 the Image form'd
OF His celestial glory and design'd
To be mans solace."
WoMAN-the friend aud companion of man |;
lit is she who, by her tears, can cool the
parched cheek when narrowed by disease, or
pour the healing balm Of consolation into his
wounded heart when shaken by msfortunes.-
She was given unto man by God to smile at his
prosperity and mourn at his adversely, TO stimu-
late him to deeds of industry and 10 bear him up
10 the hours of trouble. And how well has she
performed her mission We have only to look
around Us and take our own observation for
criterion, aad it at once becomes evident She
by her fascinating smile can turn the heart thst
is as hard as udamant TO such softness as TO be
susceptible of her influence and imbibe her pure
principles; and induce those who have acquired
vicious practices to return from their evil ways
and once more become good and honorable citi-
zens. We may look upon the beauties of ma
ture, aud every object that encounters our eve
is grand and sublime; but, when our eyes res,
upon woman we are filled with admiration, and
every other work Of nature seems to sink into
nolhingness,-so pure, so innocent, so beautiful
and so perfect is she land, correct were the
words of Franklin, when he said,
"Charming woman can true converts make,
We love the precepts for the teachers sake !;
Virtue in her appears SO bright and gay,
We hear with pleasure, aud with pride obey.
We can well imagine that If man had beer
permitted to look upon Paradise when it wa
first completed, he would have gazed in silep
admiration and wonder upon that magnificen
scenery, filled with all that iaaeinase or interest

CHINA AND RUssIA.-Russia would seem to
be getting In advance of all other nations in
her negotiations with China. 1t is said that
she has secured the right to settle on the large
ond fertile island OF Furmosa, at the head OF the
China Sea, the effect of which would be to con-
vert that gem of the East Indian Archipelago
INTO floursAing garden, and to constitute it a
perfect key to the Western gate of the China
sea. All this, we are informed, has been man.
ager through a class of Russian Professors and
students in the College of that capital, and not
through fully accredited Envoy. For many
years Russia has enjoyed a monopoly of the
trade with China across the Northern and East
ern frontiers of the interior, and has been per.
mitted to keep small force at Kachta.

but when woman came forth in that h:'ly place,
his eyes would naturally have fallen upon her,
and he would have gazed in breathless silence
upon such beautiful and complicated piece of
natures work. Wordsworth says:
"a perfect woman, nobly plann'd
To warn, to comfort and command;
And yet spirit still, and bright,
With something Of an angel light"
Woman may be compared to the sun which
iluminates our earth, rules and directs the
planetary system, raises the head of the vege-
table creation, and seems to cast cheerful IN
1uence around the pathway of man. So 1t is
with woman : she by her noble and lively intiu-
ence can often dispel the gloom that seizes the
heart elates the spirits when cast down by mis-.
fortunes, and lights up the pathway OF man
when made rugged by trials. Woman. by her
bewitching manner, soft and sweet accented
tones, can cause many to refrain from those
things which would lead to destruction, and by
that, she makes them bright stars at which their
country may point with honor. She is the fair.
est adornment of our earth we may with
wind in its onward course,-we may with fond
delight gaze upon the forest dense, the tall and
majestic oak with its branches playing in the
majestic brceza,--we may sit on the margin Of
The swift-gldng stream, listening TO its muir
nurS 5 it sweeps over its uneven bed, and see
divinity theretu,-and we my look upon til.
iieIds with exalted prde,-yet woman surpasses
them all. And true was the language of Nor
rs, when he said,
"Ah womam-in this world Of ours,
What gift can be compared to thee!
How slow would drag lte's weary hours,
Though mans prsud brow were bound with
flowers,
And his the wealth of land and sea,
If destined 10 exist alone,
And ne'er call woman's heart his own"
Notwithstanding all this, (and it pains me to
pen ii,) often we hear chanted, as it were, the
word hoops and snuff" by many, until the
winds that sweep across our plains have become
familiar with it, and the running brooks have
conveyed il to other lands Often as she gldes
through our midst like some angelic form, salu-
ting us with her graceful bows and smiling
countenlnce, these remarks are made, hoops,
hoops !'-to which are added, &" horrible !" ''dls-
gustingI" Now, to such remarks | always
reply, that woman has right and is justifia-
BILE in wearing whatever adds to her personal
appearance,-and there is no doubt but what
hoops do add to the beauty of the fair SEX
Aud. as TO snuff, we would say that we think
the ladies have right 10 use it so long as men
use tobacco; particularly when they use it pri-
vately. Ia a free country We are for equal
rights to both great and email, to strong and
weak. And we think the remarks that are
made are useless, and let them adopt the Ian
guage Of luke, who says:
He's fool, who thinks BY force or skill
To turn the course of wonan's will.'
We do not intend our remarks to be personal
but should the cap fit any," we beg them 10
excuse us; aud let them retaliate through the
columns Of the Times.

The Wife.

Os earth to man there is but one
His heart can love--his soul can own;
Though myriads fiirt before his view,
There is bug one to whom he's true
That one can sway him to and fro;
Can make him drain the cup of woe;
Can give him joy or blast his life;
And that ones name is simply wife.
BIT in thai name a world is sphered,
A world by all beloved, rsvered,
Who have the sense to know its worth,
And spurn she gaudy Joys of earth;
For that full heart in her dear breast
ii rightly prized-eternal rest
Is not with blissfUl sweets more rife,
Than that pure heart-a loving wife.

Second is, that men should be 80 foolish, and

the South has neither numbers nor self inter

the employer nothing against the men in who's
