California Wines.

California is q great S,etc. Her great

The Boston Commercial journal, noticing tho
rapid progress, mentions thus fayOrably, The
culture Of grapes:
Grapes were planted in California 10 an ear

by cuttings from the vines OF Mseaga. Since
then the vine has Aourished nightly, grow

DURING the Mexican war, one Of the news
papers hurredly announced, as an item of news
from Mexico, that General Pillow and thirty
seven of his men had been lost in bottle
(battle). Some other paper informed the
public, not long ago, that man in brown
surtout was yesterday brought before the court
on the charge of having stolen small OK (box)
from lady's work bag. The stolen property
was found in bis waistcoat pocket. An English
paper once stated that the Russian General
Backinofi kosky was found dead with a long
word Sword 10 his mouth. 1t was perhaps,
the same paper that, in giving description of
battle between the Poles and Russians, said
that the conflict was dreadful, aud the enemy
was repused with great laughter (slaughter.l

to answer the charge Of having eaten (beateD)

A BARBER Gus CALcuLATIoS.--Ac close CAL
culator makes the subjoined announcement in
the Massachusetts Railway Times: "A man
who shaves seven times a week, spending ten
minutes in each operation, uses up 81 hours in
year, and if the person lives to the age of
fourscore years, be will have spent all the
working hours of leap year with razor in
his hand. The number of males in the United
States is about ten millions, each OF whom
must shave, Oh an average, at least fifteen years.
If they shave every day-and no person can
keep bis face free from beard, and carry out
the idea Of shaving fully, unless be shaves each
day-the coming generation will spend nine
hundred and fifteen millions Of days work in
shaving, equal to nine hundred and fifteen mil
lion dollars. Allowing each TO expend FIVE
dollars for razors, strops, brushes and soap, the
aggregate cost Of the artieles will be fifteen
million dollars making he whole cost of shaw
ing in the United States for one generation,

FERvExT PRAYER-The river that runs
slow, and creeps by the banks. and begs leave
of every tuft of grass TO let it pass, is drawn
into little holows. and spreads itself into smaller
portions aud dies with diversion; but when it
runs with yigorousness and q full stream, and
breaks down every obstacle, making it even as
its own brow, it stays not TO be tempted with
little avocatious, and TO creep into holes, but
runs into the sea through full aud useful chan
nels. So is mans prayer. If it moves upon
the feet of abated appetite, it wanders into the
society of every tritiing accident, and stays at
corners of the fancy, aud talks with every object
it meets, and cannot arrive at heaven; but
when it is carried on the wings Of passion and
strong desire, swift motion, and hungry
appetite, il passes OF through all the interme
diate regions of clouds, and stays not until it
dwells at the foot of the Throne, where mercy
sits and thence sends holy showers of refresh
ment.
