CULTIVATION OF NArIyE GRAPES.

think very few Of the thousand who cul
tiyate the Isabella and Catawba grapes, in
the middle States, are aware how much the
size and quality Of the fruit is improved by
high culture.
| have four Isabella vines, which have
given me for two years past, fruit nearly as
large a. those of the Black Hamburg, and Of
very fine flavor. Perhaps il may please
some Of your readers 10 know the treatment
they have received.
They stand in border, twelve feet wide
by thirty feet long. prepare this border
by throwing out all the soil and subsoil to
the depth of three feet. The bottom was
then filed up with stones, mixed with half
lime rubbish (from the walls Of an old
house) one foot in depth, Throwing away
all the subsoil, then mixed with the good
soil ten cart loads Of stable manure, aud
two barrels Of bone dust. and cart load Of
leached ashes. With these all incorporated
together, the border was made complete by
filling up the remaining two feet upon the
stones and lime rubbish in the bottom.
The vines were planted six feet apart and
trained TO an upright trellis.
I was astonished at the gigantic shoots
which they made the second and third years,
the shoots were some twenty.iour feet long,
and as thick as my thumb. ] pursue the
simple spur mode Of pruning, and obtain
regular and heavy crops. some Of the
bunches weighed a pound and quarter

their transportation to remote market takes
largely from their value. The comfort Of a
home everywhere depends mainly upon the
assistance that can be obtained in conducting
the rougher details Of household affairs-in
the educational facilities afforded the younger
members of the family, and in the reasonable
proximity Of places Of public worship.
III those who emigrate to the newer States
and territories would but apply the same

they could acquire competence with more
ease in settled neighborhoods than on the fer
tile aud sparsely populated prairies of The
great West. They would moreover be en-
abled to enjoy that social intercourse which
is essential TO the well being of every class
Of persons. and living under liked laws,
among people accustomed to respect pri.
vate rights, would be far more secure in per-
son and property. II is also unquestionabe
That improved land in the older States more
rapidly appreciates in price than in the new,
BY reason of the greater density of popua-
ion, and the greater value of fertile soils
within easy distance Of good market. We
believe that no one need 60 West with

"oFT IN THE sTILLY NIGHT"

nv MOORE
With an additional s;anza by Mr.. Ford, Of Beaufort
Of in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
or other days around me,
The smiles, the tears
OF childhood's years,
The words Of love then spoken,
The eyes that shone,
Now dimm'd and gone,
The faithful hearts nov broken.
When remember all
The friends so nkd together,
I've seen around me fall
Like leaves in wintry weather,
I feel like one
Who ireads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are nei,
Whose garlands dead.
And all but he departed.
But hope, IN lines Of love,
My sinking soul sustaining,
on points % realms above,
And bids me cease complaining.
The smiles, the tears
OF former years,
In those bright realms shall gree. me.
And there the friend
Whose hapiess end
Sad memory weeps-shall greet me.
Thus of at midnieh; hour,
Ere slumbers chains surround me,
Kind hcPc dispeis the gloom
BY memory thrown around me.

A MANIFESTATION OF sTUBBoRNNEss

A MANIFESTATION OF sTUBB0RNNEss.
On the Reading Turnpike, just this side Of
the st. Georges Brewery, within the corpo-

road. For some distance there is just room
enough for wagon to pass over. Go to
either side Of that and you plunge into holes.
About six o'clock, evening before last. stone

tion, met in this part Of the road.
"Turn Off" said the owner Of the buggy.

Seven O'clock came. and both vehicles we're
still there. The teamster had drank several
glasses Of beer. and the occupant ef the bug
gy had deyoured the contents Of two or three
newspapers. Eight o'clock came, and they
we're in the same position, as stubborn as
ever. The teamster, however, grew impa-
tent, his horses were tired and hungry, yet
he did not want to knock under. lie pros

EXECUTION OF MARY, QUEEN OF scoTs.
"She wore her richest royal robes as she
walked TO the scaffold, and approached il

Peterborough, began to preach, exhorting her
TO forsake that creed "m which continuing
she must be damned" THIS he repeated
with the delicacy and delight in damning
their fellow beings which characterize such
persons. Mary begged him not TO trouble him
self about her. On his perslstiug, she turned
away from him. lie walked around the
scatiold. confronted her, aud began again.
Then the Earl Of Shrewsbury commanded
him 10 stop preaching and begin to pray;
command which the worthy divine instantly
obeyed. But meantime Mary was repeating
in Latin the Psalms for the dying.
Then she knelt down and prayed for her
son and for Elizabeth Scotland, her enc.
mics and herself; aud holding up the image
Ul her suffering Saviour, she cried out, As
thy arms, D my God, were stretched out upon
the cross, so receive me unto the embrace Of
their mercy and forgive me all my sins"

being requested TO call The Legislature togoth.

this, however, could not restore the conf.

ronty undecided rs to what policy he should
pursue. There were loud camofs for bis re-
slgnaion, bot he did not heed them until the
last moment. The true condiloa OF the af.
fairs Of tho bank remained unknown. The
key of the safe in which its principal papers
and accounts were kept remained in his own
POSSESSION, and was only handed over on
The eve of what cannot well be regarded now
as aueh, else but flight from the infamy
which was Fnro to follow from The exposure
OF the condition of the bank which had been
rnined by his management. He once had
many warm and zrslous friends in this com.
muni'y, but has few apologisis or defenders
now. BY his management OF the bank and
his precipitation of suspension, he has done
more mischief in connection with the late f.

bank officer, and il is bu, natural that exc
cra''onS SHOULD be heaped upon him by The
many victims Of the bank failures, and q
