Recipe For Orange Wine.

Take 1 part orange juice, we'll strain
ed part water; 8 pounds sugar per
gallon. Any kind Of sugar will do, and
the darker the sugar the richer will be
the color of the wine. For each 10 gal
Ions keep a gallon of the same for refill
ing the cask during fermentation. Lay
casks Oh the side, fill full and leave
bung open. Do not let it be exposed to
too much cold Fill up the casks every
day from the quantity kept out, as the
scum is thrown off, and watch closely
until the wine passes the stage of al
coholic fermentation. This will usually
require from 10 to 20 days and can
easily be determined by it's ceasing to
rise and the cessation Of brisk fermen-
tation. When it arrives at this stage,
place the bung in loosely. Watch close
ly for few days, and as active fermen-
tation ceases put the bung in fast. Let
it stand two months and then rack off
carefully into clean casks. If perfectly
clear, seal and let it stand six months,
when it may be bottled. If not clear, it
may be racked off a second time, two
months after the first time, and sealed
six months before bottling. Be sure your
casks are full, for contact with the air
will cause the wine to pass into acetic
fermentation.
The foregoing recipe is furnished by
a correspondent Of The American Car
bonatOr.

A DREAM OF HERRICK.

TScene: The vicarage garden at Dean Prior.
Lo, in my dream saw shady lawn,
Whereon / lay at sweet tongued Herrick' g
feet
A group of maidens, glorious as the dawn,
Plenished snow white board with dainties
sweet.
Over the ivied wall spied Taps head,
Who sold his mothers spectacles for beer;
Irreverent Gryll, who ne'er grace hath said,
And Bunce, who owes tho poet still, stood
near.
These all agape surveyed the table spread
With country dishes-cressesf from the stream
Thanked by rich piles of berries black and red,
And silver junket crowned with golden
cream.
The rustic banquet DER, fair Julia ran
Within the house the poets lutte to bring;
The maidens sitting round us sewed and span,
And in their queenly manner bade us sing.
I took the lutte from Julia's shapely hand,
And sang of her whose plighting ring wore,
MY Phyllis-fairest maid in all the land!
Inspired, I sang as ne'er sang before.
Then Herrick followed, and with easy grace
He sang of Julia's breath, Anthea's charms,
Of Dianeme's form, Electras face,
And all the gracious curves of Silvia's arms
Willing was to own the master voice,
Unwilling that my love should share my fall,
When Herrick's whisper made my heart re-
