MISCELLANEOUS READING.


TO MISS S. S., OF NORFOLK.
The trembling stars through lattice bars,
lu >ilSnt march are beamine,
Where lairer eyes, of richer dyes,
OF ialrer lands are dreaming:
icn milky cloud seems passing proud,
I" catch the floating glimmer,
Whose sllvery dip hath kissed a lip,
Aud proved itself winner.
Oh lady fair. the dark brown hair
Around thy temples braided,
In day lights beam is like n stream,
oi rose hucd waters shaded:
Now fairy worlds pour forth rare pearls,
Aud miugle in the tresses
Which bathe thy brow with beauty now
In loose and wayy meshes.
The roses culled, in sleep are lulled-
On thy pale bosom hesving,
And soft and mild the rain bow smile
OF love is round thee breathing;
While milDight's tear drops silent here,
BY fragrant breezes driven,
| watch the stars which ferk thy bars
Dream on thy dream Of Heaven

RHrBARB WlNE.-B. L. CahOon of kenos-
ha, wis. originated the rhubarb wine man
uiacture Mix equal quantities Of water with
the Juice Of the stalks, and to each gallon add
, HIS. far quality New Orleans sugar, put in
barrels filled full, refined with isinglass, and
allow it tu remain in the barrels till spring.
and then bottled. BY adding to or diminish
ing the quantity Of sugar, it will vary the
strength of the wine in the same proportion.
The pure juice, without water, makes
very strong wine by using lbs. Of sugar to
each gallon. The advantage of the rhubarb
is that it affords greater quantity of juice
thnn any other plant; and it is of IA better
quality than any but grape juice for the man
uiacture of domestic wine. 1t will afford an
abundance of cheap vinegar The acid of
the plant, as all pie-makers are aware, is
decidedly sharp. Mr.. q. Lewis last season,
made from one-eighth of an acre 400 gallons.
Ii is fair estimate that 1900 gallons can
he made from an acre well cultivated. The
wine costs about forty cents per gallon to
the manuiacturer.-Ga Gardeners Monthly.
