THE scUPPERNoNG GRAPE.

The Plymouth n c. Crescent furnishes the
following particulars in regard to the discovery
Of this grape and the wine made from it
The first vine of this name was found by the
Rev. Charles Pettigrew, an Episcopal minister,
about the year 1774, on the low grounds of the
Scupperuong river, and from which he planted a
vineyard
During the visit of President Monroe to the
Southern States, at public dinner given to him
by the citizens Of Newborn, y. c., Scuppernong
wine, then fifteen years old, produced from the
vineyard Of his son, the late Hon. Ebenezer
Pettigrew, was placed upon the table 1t attracted
the attention of the President, Mr. Calhoun, and
other guests who accompanied them, and the origin
of the wine having been purposely concealed, they
were requested to determine its quality and origin
1t was in their opinion exceedingly delicious
wine, and of Eastern Greclan origin Upon
being informed that it made from the native
North Carolina grape quite alaudation was bestowed
and desire expressed to procure some OF the same
quality.
The stock in Mr Pcttigrcws possession was not
sufficient u meet the demand, and he had in fact
never sold gallon Of it. Subsequently he pre-
scented a barrel to the President and Mr. Calhoun,
which he seat to them at Washington. 1t there
attracted much attention, and was pronounced by
those skilled in such matters, who knew nothing
of its history, to be rare and delicious wine
brought from some Eastern country.
In Sir Walter Raleigh's History of the World,
the great profusion of grapes Roanoke Island
(some twenty miles distant from Scuppernong rver)
attracted his attention, and is specially mentioned
by him.

FAILURE A RECoMN1ENDATIoN.-Ap person
walking into the counting-room of the late Mr. c.,
of a neighboring city, and, by the way, a very
wealthy and shrewd merchant, inquired of the
clerk the rent of store which his employer wished
to let. The enquirer being satisfied with the terms,
said he would hire the store; but the clerk knowing
that he had recently failed for large amount,
declined closing the bargain until he saw Mr. c.,
who then absent from the city, and desired the
gentleman to call again. Upon Mr. C's return the
clerk informed him of what has been related
GLOW much did he fail for?' asked Mr. G.
"About one hundred thousand dollars" was the
reply
And how much did he pay?'

AFFECTING ANECDOTE.

On one of the many bridges in Client stand
two large brazen images of father and son, who
obtained this distinguished mark of the admiration
of their fellow citizens by the following incident
Both the father and son were, for some offence
against the State, condemned to die-Some Favorable
circumstance appearing on the side of the son, he
was granted remission of his sentence under
certain provisions; i'll short, he offered pardon
on most barbarous condition. namely, that he
would become the executoner of his father. lie

means 50 fatal and dett stable This is not to be
wondered at for let us hope, for the honor of our
nature, that there very few who would not
have spurned with adherence life on a condition
so horrid and unnatural.-The son, though Ion"
infexible, was at length overcome by the tears
and entreaties of fond father, who represented
to him that, at all events, his (thc fathers life
was forfeited, and that it would be the greatest
possible consolation for him. in his last moments to
think that, in his death, he an instrument Of
his sons preservation The youth consented to
adopt the horrible means Of recovering his life
and liberty. He lifted the axe, but, it
about to fall, his arm sunk nervless, and the axe
dropped from his hand. Had he as many lives as
hairs, he could have yielded them all one after
another, rather than again conceive, much less
perpetrate, such an act. Life liberty, everything
vanished before the dearer interests ofial affection.

executioner to fulfill the sentence Of the law.
Hard must their hearts indeed be-bereft Of
every sentiment of virtue, every sensation Of
humanity-who could stand insensible spectators
of such a scene. y sudden peal Of involuntary
applause, mixed with groans and signs rent the
air. The execution was suspended, and on simple
report of the transaction to the authorities, both
were pardOned. High rewards and honorS were

transaction so honorable to human nature, and

LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

Live for something, be not idle
Look about thee for employ,
Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest Joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts arc never gay,
Life for thee hath many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway!
Gentle words and cheering smiles,
Better are than gold and silver,
With their griel-dispelling wiics.
As the pleasant sunshine fallcth
Ever on the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. we'll the darkened earth.
Hearts there arc oppressed and weary;
Drop the tear Of sympathy,
Whisper words Of hope and comfort,
Give, and thy reward shall be
Joy unto thy soul returning,
From this perfect fountain head,
Freely, as thou freely givest,
Shall the grateful light be shed.

A MOTHERS ADMINISTRATION touching the
tribute of the Hon. I. H. Benton, to his mothers
influence:
''My mother asked me never to use tobacco. l
have never touched it from that time to the present
day; she asked me not to game, and | have never
gambed; and | cannot tell who is winning and who
is losing in games that can be played. She admon-
ished me, too, against hard drinking and whatever
capacity for endurance have at present and what
ever usefulness | may attain in life, [ have attr-
buted to having complied with her pous and COR
rect wishes. When | was seven years Of age she
asked me not to drink, and then | made resou-
ton of total abstinence, when was sole conStitu-
ent member of my own body, and that | have ad-
hered to it through all time, it to my mother"
Now, although every mother may not make the
same request of her sons, which Col Benton's
mother made of him, yet there can be no doubt
that it is the ardent desire of every mother that
her sons would not drink, gamble, nor 90 into evil
company. Therefore, let every young man consd-
er himself admonished and forewarned against the
vices of drinking and gambling, as coming from
his mother

A JAPAN CRIMINAL.-A Japan criminal was
condemned by the Sultan to fight royal tiger,
whose ferocity was raised to the highest point by
want of food and artificial irritation. The only
weapon allowed to the human combatant was a
dagger with the point broken of. After wrapping
cloth round his left fist and arm, the man entered
the arena with air of undaunted GOODNESS, and
fixed a steady, menscing gaze upon the brute.
The tiger sprang furiously upon his intended vic
tim, who with extraordinary holiness and rapidity,
thrust his left fist into the gaping jaws, and at the
same moment, with his keen though pointless dag
ger ripped up the beast to the very heart In less
than minute the tiger lay dead at his conquerors
feet The criminal was not only forgiven but en-
nobled BY his sovereign.

bic quality is impaired to the milk BY
feeding two quarts Of the ground cake to
each COW daily. He prefers however that
the cake should be mixed either with
shorts or shorts and corn meal, in about
equal proportions, The milk is sold for

in the use Of oil cake we agree with Mr.,
Wood in his estimate of its value for milch
