Wine, Dr. Mel Donald, who had been appoint
ell to discuss the question. arose and addressed
the Society as follows:
Mr. President In compliance with the
request of the Society, the Chairman Of the
Visiting Committee. and your letter to tie

certain platform on which the inexperienced
in the culture of the Grape may confidently
stand.
As am not writing regular essay, will
begin at results, and take the present Yea,
as standard.
The Catawba and Isabella averaged about
three pints of juice to the vine. These grapes
suffered much from the intense heat Of tie
middle of July; all those branches which
were outside of the leaves during that hot
time (when the Thermometer in the centre
of my house stood at 99', and in the piuzzA,
II feet wide, at l030) had their berries par.
boiled, and they shed off, The Isabella Grape
suffered more than the Catawba. The War
rer, Pauline, or Burgundy and LeNuir, were
not affected by the intense heat, nor were tie
Mary Isabel. The last named Grape is named
accidentally; it is a variety o.. the lslbel,
but has larger grains on tie bunch, and
larger seeds, and does not ripen so regu.
larly or so early. 1t is o protuse bearer,
aud its proper name [ do not know. The
[taoella had some rot in tie early sum-
mer; the Mary Isabel did not have any; the
Warren and LeNoir had a very little, not
worth notice. The produce OF the Warren
was double that of the Isabella or Catawba;
that Of the Pauline or Burgundy was less,
say about one quart to the vine as the aver
age. The LeNoir is & poor bearer. The

holding 3 secret in reserve. If May was sad, the
unobtrusive sympathy Of Cburchil's geninl nature
met and refreshed her. There was always sim
pie, Thoroughbred grace in his manners, his fee-
lings vivacious and electric, and she learned
there was charm in his presence to lure her
spirits from the torpid gloom which had nearly
paralised them. And SO q few weeks few happily
along. Mr.. Linwood was delighted to see sone-
thing of his wife's characteristic animation gush
ing forth again, and May was joyous for the fresh
ness, the new life which had supplanted the dor.
NANCY Of tho past Books, music, chess and con-.
versation 6lled up tho hours for herself and Chur
chill, which her husband gave necessarily to the
duties of q practical profession.
And in these hours May all unut.ingly, betrny-
ed the barrennesS of her heart; and as page after
page unrolled itself to Churchills elsar-judging
perceptions, he perceived tho impress Of pride,l
and lovelness, and misery; and yearnings for
gushing affection graphing with rigid con-;
science. And as he pondered over the discoveries,
sndc onsdered the rich capacities of her nature his
eye took dreamier glance, and his voice tom.
derer tone while wild fancies vowed themselves In
to the web of his musings.
Mays relation ns wife-the wife of his dearest
friend,-had been passport which opened the
way for her unchallenged entrance into his heart,
and when forced to define the truth, he found her
enshrined, the very embodiment and incarnation
Of the ideal of his souls alteration. And May had,
without an ain, given herself up to the allure
ments of the time; had, with child-lke gladness,
been drawn from the fearful gloom into the warm
sunlight. Her blighted spirits bathsd in the.
unspoken sympaties of congenial soul, until q
throbbing, quirering vitality demanded herto look
after their tendencies. And then the bittersweot,
humiliatpg truth stood unmasked before her 1t,
needed no spoken word; by every indication OF.
the past by erory lesping beat of her own heart:
she know she loved, and was beloved. W.! hca-:
wing emotions, raptuTous and wretched, thrilled
her. All other impulses, all other attachments fa
ded away before this grand master-passion, and;
Churchill was the centrs and the compass Of her
existence. Mentally, materially, he was the ideal
of her girl-lifo, tho realization Of her woman-y
dreams. Alas! for her, with this wild torrent Of
oundless affection pleading in her heart, at such;
an hour, for such q man
Yet shc would control it ALL forego it all, so sho
resolved /; and the idea of sacrifice did not carry
with it despairing misery or if it did, it brought
also dark, wild bliss. The great dream Of her
life was merged ints IN intense realization, andi
she plunged madly into the rushing under-current(
Of fierce seething passion, and welded herself to
the refined misery and ecstacy of her wild, scorch
ing emotions.
And then. whom Churchill knew, iutuitiyely,.
