TO   MY   PIPE.
When blessed by all that wealth can give,
JMid pleasures gayest scenes I live,
One friend I find worth all the rest,
Although in sombre line 'tis drest—
My dear old Pipe !
When misfortunes come apace,
And on my visage leaves its trace,
Who comes to cheer my troubled mind,
And teach me where sweet joya to find—
My old bl ick Pipe I
When hungry duns besiege my door,
And to abuse me ne'er give o'er ;
When, supperless, I go to bed.
A victim, without " nary red"—
I smoke my Pipe.
When sweetest Nelly told me " no,-'''
Iiisimiatint-; 1 was slow ;
At first I thought rdtsnndy die ^ __
I smoked my Pipe !
When dearest Lola told me "si,"
Who such a happy dog as me ;
To crown my joy one thing I sought,
Without thee all the rest were nought —
My dear old Pipe !
And thus it is through all my days,
Whatever Fortune's varying ways ;
The sweetest comfort of my soul,
I find within the old black bowl
Of my dear Pipe!
And when I bid this world good night,
To seek the realms of heavenly light,
With me, beneath the sod be laid,
The dearest friend I ever made—
Mv old black Pine !

Mlstaltes   of  Physicians.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, (physician,philosopher
and poet.) in a lecture upon physicians, gives in
the Atlantic Monthly the following account of
some mistakes which have been made in medicine :
Sooner or later everybody is tripped up in forming a diagnosis. I saw Velleau, tbe great French
surgeon, tie one of the carotid arteries for a supposed aneurism, which was ouly a little harmless
tumor, and kill his patient. Mr. Dease, oi Dublin,
was more fortunate in a case he boldly declared
au abscess, while others thought it an aneurism.—
He thrust a lancet into it, and proved himself in
the right. Soon after he made a similar diagnosis. He thrust in his lancet as in the case before,
and out gushed the patient's blood and his life
with it. The next morning Mr. Dease was found
dead, and floating in his blood. He had divided
the femoral artery. I have doomed people, and
seen others doom them, over and over again, on
the strength of physical signs, and they have lived in the most contumacious and scientifically an.
jusiifiable manner as long as they lived, and some
are living still. I see two men in the street very
often, who Wt-ffl both as good as dead in She opinion of all who saw them in their extremity. People will insist on living sometimes though manifestly moribund. InDr.Elder's life of Kane you
will find a story of this sort told by Dr. Kane himself. The captain of a ship was dying of scurvy,
but the crew mutiuied and he gave up dying for
lhe present to_takecaprj\f'„thoii?,w^A,i\-Joid Aotlaia'ii
proposed change in her will, made up her mind
not to die just then, ordered a coach, was driven
twenty miles to tbc house of a relative, and lived
four years longer. Cotton Mather tells some good
p tor ice which he picked up in his experience^ or
out of his books, showing the unstable equilibrium
of prognosis. Simon Stone was shot in nine places
and as he lay for dead, tbe Indians made two
hacks wilh a hatchet to cut off his head. He got
well, however, and was a lusty fellow in Cotton
Mather's time. Jabez Musgrave was shot with a
bullet that went in hie ear and came out of his
eye on tlie otber side. A couple of bullets went
through his body also. Jabez got well, however,
and lived many years. Per contra, Col. Rositer,
in cracking a plum stone with his teeth, broke a
looLh and lost his life. We have seen physicians
dying, like Spigellus. from a scratch ; and a man
who had a crowbar shot through his head is alive
and well. These extreme cases are warnings. But

Thtr Rival .Dancers.
Miska Han ser, the violinist, thus describes an
exciting scene which he witnessed in Melbourne,
Australia:
'■The curtain rose. A French dancer, an elegant,
supple young lady, ol no great beauty, but much
expression, and apparently on perlect good.tertns
wilh herself, appeared in the scene iu her short
lace dress, received by an outburst of applause,
and by the martial trumpets of the orchestra.—
But from the otber side came a youthful,blooming
Spanish Creole, witb beautiful eyes, large and
soft; her complexion rosy; her figure tall—in
fact, the impersonation of Terpsichore. She bowed modestly—it was ber first appearance at Melbourne—aud the enthusiasm of lhe public, surprised by her beauty, manifested in vehement
cheers.
" The two dancers straggled for the palm of
victory in a graceful Tarentnla. Like two glittering butterflies they whirled around, accompanf
ed by music and applause. The mercurial Parisian made use of her most pednctive wiles, of her
most refined pircueites, of her most enchanting attitudes : but ihe Creole seemed patronized by the
Graces themselves. Thundering applause encouraged her ; and as often as she came forward with
her giacelid mudcaly, nosegays, and ringa, and
bracelets were thrown at ber feet. Tlie French lady struggled with her lust strength against Uie
triumph of her rival, until, disheartened and ex-
hausied, she fell to the ground.
" The Creole approached her with compassion
to raise her, wben suddenly the Parisian darted
up, and with looks full of hate and fury, boxed
lhe ears of her rival. Tbe audience hissed and
hooted while she exclaimed with much passion :
■' The wretch tripped mc !"
"The poor Creole declared with dignity that she
was innocent of the meanness : but, a vulgar word
whiirh slipped out of the lips of the French dancer against her, suddenly aroused all the patsions
ofthe south in her bosom, and a singular struggle
began. The two excited ladies rushed upon each
olher, and wrestled, and tore, and pulled one another's hair, while the thunders of the gallery
ninde the whole atmosphere vibrate. 1 never saw
a more natural performance, The better claBS of
the public did not interfere, but seemed rather to
be amused by these Olympic exercises, until the
Creole, bleeding and fainting, was carried away

We find the following article in the Sacramento
Union :
After what hag been said in the Union and other quarters of the difficulty of making our native
wines assimilate in quality to those of foreign
.anufac'ure, and the probable absence of the true
wine-making principle in most of our California
grapes, we naturally turn to those favored countries of the vine which supply the markets of the
world wilh wines, and Institute a comparison of
their physical characteristics wilh our own. The
climate of the south of France corresponds more
nearly with that of this coast than any other region celebrated for its wines. It is here, in the
district ofGuienne and Gascony, lhat the best red
and white table wines of France are manufactured, and as the production of similar light wine? ia

ate field of investigation. Ina recent article in
the '-English Farmer's Magazine
with some useful facts and saggf

from the observations of an inte
We condense as much of the i
room for.
The vineyards of Gascony and Guienne produce
annually about 132,000,000 gallons of wine. The
two provinces lie between the 43d and 45th parallels of latitude, extending northward to the foot
of the Pyrenees and stretching back from the sea
shore nearly to the base of the Alps. The soil is
almost a continuous clay and limestone, largely
intermixed with sand. The price per aero of the
best vine lands of Medoc is from 60 to 200 pounds
sterling : the produce in some cases 15 pounds
sterling per acre, and the average profit seven to
ten per cent., which is more than is yielded under
the present system of cultivation by the best corn
lands of France.
11 Medoc is a long tongue of land, nowhere more
than two miles broad, extending northward between the Garonne on tbe East and the Bay of
Biscay on lhe west. It is, indeed, the northern
termination of the extensive district of sand hills
and sand plains extending from Bayonne, called
" Les Landes." The character of the soil of this
rip changes, as it approaches the Garonne, north
of Bordeaux, from the sandy waste of thc Landes
to a light gravel, or what in some places appears
lo be a mere heap of quartz pebbles mixed with
sand, which is nothing more or less than Ihe abrasions from the Pyrenian rocks, brought down by
tributary torrents to tbe Garonne, and deposited.
There the vine flourishes; and when the bed o!
indurated conglomerate beneath is broken up by
manual labor, so as to permit the roots to strike,
no soil is so congenial to it, retaining os it does
the sun's heat long after lhat luminary has disappeared.
The vine is trained, as it usually is here, in lhe
fashion of espaliers, fastened to horizontal laths
attached to upright posts two feet from lhe ground,
running in au uninterrupted line from one of the
vineyards to the other. These rows are three feet
apart, and lhe process of moving the soil in the
intervals is performed by oxen, drawing a plow,
and the low vineyards are planted in such a regular order that Ihey can be constantly plowed, and
lhe soil thus pulverized between each vine at the
proper season. The vines have no other assistance
in the way of munure than this hoeiiip* : the teas.
are so near that dung would spoil the taste of tbe
wine they produce. Indifferent land produces an
annual crop of grapes and wood without dung ;
and though there is annually carried off from an
acre of vineyard as much in substance as is carried off in Ihe crop of an acre of corn produced on
land of equal goodness, yet the vineyard soil is
never impoverished unless the hoeing culture be
denied it ; but a few annual crops ot wheat, without dung, in the common management, will im
poverish and emaciate fhe soil/'
The vines of St. Eslcphe and those of Lafitte,
hoth on the same soil, produce wines to which
very different values are al Inched. Tho qualities
ofthe wine are very dependent on the season,
wbich will sometimes raise a secondary to a prime
wine.
"The vine begins to produce at five years of
age, and will, when the soil is deep and congen
ial, continue to flourish with unabated vigor two
hundred years. Ils roots have been known to descend in pursuit of nourishment to a depth of between twenty to thirty (eet. The best species of
red grapes is the verdot. Those cultivated lor

The Bordeaux vineyards, the seat of the clarel
wines, extend along lhe banks of the Garonne.—
Bordeaux is the second seaport in France, exporting from 50.000 to 60.000 tons of wine annually.
The Medoc district is comprised within the growths
of the Bordelais, also Graves, Palus and Vigncs
Blanches, which furnish wines of prime quality.
•■ The vineyards of the Bordelais extend between
the 43d and 4-5Ih degree oT latitude, and consist
of one million ot acres, which produce an im
mense quantity of wine ofall qualilies. Be it remembered that the French people, in thus supplying their own beverages, are not using their best
soils—their corn soils—as we do in England, but
soils that sometimes, owing to position, and always to quality, will not produce anylhing else.
Such soils as support the vines in France are in
England quietly given over to furze and rabbils.
" The Graves are bo called from the nalnre of
the gravelly soil wbich produces them, lying in
the southeast and southwest of Bordeaux. The
HautBrion ranks first, the HautTalance and Me-
rignac next. Descending the Garonne, four
leagues, south of Bordeaux isCaslres; opon this
place we find a succession of vineyards, extending
far down the banks of the river, those ou the left
being far superior to those on the right. This
arises from the soil, a fine quartoize sand. The
wines produced here arc white. ,
■■Tlie green and fertile marshes which oorder
the river Garonne and Dordogne, formed of successive alluvial deposits.produce the Palus wines,
or the wines of tbe marches. The vines shoot with
a great luxuriance to a bight of six feet, and are
supported on poles, three of which are employed
to each plant. The growth of this district are full
and hard, and rough, when new. They are adapted to sea carriage, and are sent to the East Indies,
or kept at home to give strength tothe weaker
Medoc wines This tongue oflu-ul embraces by
these two rivers is generally called Entre-Deux-
Mers. and, long before the Medoc was ciiltivaled,
was esteemed the best wine district in the country. The yellow cliffs along the river side are
pierced, to form cellars, in which is deposited the
wine grown above lbem. Some little d'
higherup the river we might seethe handsome
villa of the heirs of the -Spanish Marquis d'Agua-
do, uninhabited on account of the malaria that
nevails around it. It stands in ihe midst of vineyards producing the celebrated wine ot Chateau
Mnrgaux. The grape that yields this wine

Some officers, who from a box had witnessed
the spectacle, were revolted at the conduct of the
Parisian, and sent for the police to arrest her ; but
her friends collected and resisted the constables.
A riot ensued : a portion ol the public rushed on
the stage : they jumped across the orchestra ; the
fiddles and base viols were broken j the ladies
were fainting ; children crying ; and I took to my
heels with my fiddle, and ran away, without stopping until I reached my hotel."
rived, the skins which have been added to give
color are removed, and the wine is allowed to bc
drawn off in cleaa vessels, which are filled up, at
first every two or three days, then once a month,
and afterwards every three months at least. The
white wines are racked in December, which, from
containing more sediment than the red, require
more care to escape being ropy- The red wines,
racked iu February or March, and being more apt
to turn sour, are obliged to bc kept in cool cellars
during summers."
In favorable years the produce of Lafitte has
been known to sell as high as 3,300 francs per Ion
of forty-two gallons, which brings the best wines
up to six francs per bottle.
The tirst varieties are Lafitte, Latonr, Chateau
Marganx, and Haut-Brion, the first being remarkable for its charming violet perfume. The color
grows darker as it advances in ago, in consequence
of the  deposits of part of its tartar; but when
uty taste, with an aroma resembling cloves.—
The choicest are known as St. Bris and Carbon-
nieux."
The wtiter adds, in conclusion :
"There yet remains a considerable tract of
country, quite as well adapted to tbe growth of
the vine as those tracts already so employed, and
it is but reasonable to suppose lho French capitalists, in view of the demand which will eventually
be made upon them for Claret wines, will commence the wo:k of inclosing and planling. Tbe
progress in thc cultivation of the vine during the
last seventy-eight years, in extent as well as produce, shows what the produce would be if strongly
stimulated. In 1830 the extent of the vineyards
In France was greater by 438,000 hectares than in
1788 ; and in 1810 the extent was greater by 200,-
000 than in 1830. M. Julicn states the average
produce of a vineyard, per hectare, in I'^rance, in
18G0, at 5T5 gallons per acre."
Anion fiiiir nml JotUI Randolph*
Col. Burr, who had been "Vice President of
America, and would probably have been the next
Presideut but for his unfortunate duel with General Hamilton, eame over to England and was
made known to mc by Mr. Randolph, of Virginia,
witb whom I was very intimate. He requested
that I would introduce him to Grattan, whom ho
was excessively anxious to see. Col. Burr was not
a man of very prepossessing appearance; rough
lealurcd, and neither dressy or polished ; but a
well informed, sensible man, and liu ugh not a particularly agreeable, yet ar. instructive companion.
People in general form extravagant anticipations
regarding eminent persous. The idea of a great
orator and an Irish chief carried with it, naturally
enough, corresponding notions of physical elegance, vigor and dignity. Such was Col. Burr's
mistake, I believe, about Mr. Grattan, and I took
care i.ot. to undeceive him. We went to my
friend's house, wiio was to leave London next day.
I announced lhat Col. Burr, from America, Mr.
Randolph and myself wished to pay our respects,
and the servant informed us lhat his master would
receive us in a short time, but was at that moment
much occupied with buBinesc of consequence.—
Burr's expectations were all on the alert! Randolph was also anxious tobe presented to the
great Gratlan, and both impatient for the entrance
of Ihis Demosthenes. At length the door opened,

upon his head. This apparition saluted tho strangers very courteously, asked, without any introduction, how long they had been in England, and
immediately proceeded to mako inquiry about lhe
late General Washington andthe Revolutionary
war. My companions looked at each other ; their
replies were costive, and they seemed impatient lo
see Mr. Grattan. I could scarcely contain myself,
but determined to let my eccentric countryman
take his course, who appeared quite delighted to
see his visitors, and was the most inquisitive person in the world. Randolph was by far the tallest
and most dignified looking man of lhe two, gray-
haired and well-dressed: Grattan, therelore. took
him for lhe Vice President, and addressed him accordingly. Randolph at length begged to know
if they could shortly have the honor of seeing Mr.
Grattan. Upou which our host, not doubting but
they knew him, conceived it must be his son
James for whom they inquired,and said he believed he had that moment wandered out somewhere
to amuse himself. This completely disconcerted
the Americans, and they were about to make tbeir
bow aad their exit, wheu I thought it high time to
explain, and taking Col. Burr and Mr. Randolph
respectively by thc hand, introduced them to the
Right Honorable Henry Grattan. I never saw people stare so, or look so much embarrassed. Gratlan, himself, perceiving the cause, heartily joined
in my merriment. He pulled down his shirt
sleeves, pulled np his stockings, and in his own irresistible way apologized for tho outre figure ho
cut., assuring them that he had totally overlooked
it in his anxiely not to keep them waiting : that
he was reluming to Ireland next morning, and had
been busy packing up his books and papers in a
closet full of dust and cobwebs! This incident
rendered the interview more interesting. The
Americans were charmed with their reception, and
after a protracted visit, retired, highly gratified,
while Gratlan rehired agaiu to his bookB and his
cobwebs.—Bariington's Personal Sketches.
