The Bachelor's Soliloquy.
Towed ; or not to wed ; that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in a man lo suffer
The slings and arrows of that blind young archer;
Or fly to arms against a sea ot troubles.

Imperial Courtship.
The following amusing account of the late Em
pcror Nicholas "is from a recent Berlin paper:
About the yeal 1816 the Grand Duke Nicholas
came to Berlin to see iÍ one of the Prusian princesses would suit him. and the Princess Charlotte
was given to underhand by her parents that it he
Should take a laucv to her they would have no objection to her returning the penchant. The tune
originally fixed tor the expiration of the Grand
Dnke's stay hail come, arid he was seated at supper on his last evening next to the Princess Charlotte, when he abruptly told her he must leave
Berlin the next, day. He hoped to surprise her
into some demonstration of feeling on the ocea-
«ion, but her maidenly pride withheld her from
making more than some very say nothing remark
in acknowledgment.
The Grand "Duke then assumed another plan of
operations ; knowing that however little the eyes
of the company might be actually fixed on him
and his fair neighbor, tligy were nevertheless, the
object of general observation, he commenced telling her. but in an apparently unembarrassed manner, and playing with a ring oi'his the while, that
he had devoted himself, during his short stay
there, to make himself acquainted with her character and disposition, &o., and that be had found
in her everv quality that he believed best, calculated to make him happy in wedded life, &c., but
as they two were at that moment the object of scrutiny to manv present, he would not press her for
■ any reply-to'-tiis overtures, but if it was agreeable
to her father's court, she would, perhaps, have the
goodness tó tafeé up the ring be had in bis hand.
This ring he then, apparently while playing
with the two objects; thurst into the roll of bread
lying du the table before him, and went on, Beem-
ing \na\i-sangfroid with his supper. With an
equal appearance of unconcern, the Princess presently put oat her hand and took up the roll as if
miaStaliirig it for he own bread, and, unnoticed by
the company, withdrew the ring and put it on her
o\Vn hand.   The rest requires no narration.

A Ddckj op a. Husband.-*-A married man in
"Paris bad inherited during the past; year from his
uncle, ;£3,000. He began to speculate on the
Bourse,.where he was surprisingly fortunate. He
did not say a word about his good fortuno to his
wife. New Year's day came, and he said to her
"-My dear, here ia a ticket for the Opera, which
l-'give you a? your New Year's Gift." Hia modest spouse accepted it with gratitude. Off they
went to the Ópera. When the performance was
over, and they had descended to tire vestibule, a
livery servant appeared, and threw over the ludy's
shoulders a splendid opera cloak lined with crimson.
The lady, ¡amazed, looked first at the cloak and
then at the servant, who, bowing respectfully, told
her that her carriage was at the door. Ia a
state of stupefaction she entered mechanically a
very handsome new carriage; as she did so, the
footman told the coachman to drive home, bat
this home was .act the one she had left afewhourri
before. An elegant suite of appariment?, richly
aud tastefuiy ¿furnished, now met her bewildered
gaze ; and her husband offering her theliey, said,
- " My dear, I have now presented you with the
New Year's gilt I really intended for you."
The ten largest cities in the Union in point oi:
population, range thus in order : New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Buffalo—Chicago standing about equal with the last
named eity.
Home is Man's ark when troubles spring,
When'gathering* tempests shade the morrow:
And Woman's love the bird that brings
His peace-branch o'er a flood o' sorrow.
St. Peter's Church, in Rome, independent of its
invaluable treasures of art, cost $50,600,000, aod
the annual expense of repairs is some §31,500.
There is a shop kept by a lady ia New York, in
the window of whieh appears these words-:—"No
reasonable offer refused."    Some women are sen
'   sible to the last!
To weep for fear is childish ; to weep for anger
is womanish; to weep for grief is human ; to weep
for compassion is divine ; but to weep for sin is
christian.
We paint our lives in fresco. The soft and
facile piaster of the moment hardens under every
stroke of the brush into eternal rock.
Novelty.—What we recover from oblivion. We

Any one may do a casual act of good nature,
but a continuation of them shows it isa part of
the temperament.
Fair Play,—At the moment whon, on the 14th
of October, 1797, the British fleet under Admiral
Duncan, aud the Dulch fleet commanded by De
Winter, were about to engage, two sailors passing
by Admiral Duncan's cabin, saw him ou bis kr.ees.
"My eyes, Jack,1-' exclaimed oue, "what is the
Admiral about there?"
"Praying to Heaven," replied the otlier.
" Praying for what ?"
"That the Lord may give us victory.*'
"Well, now, that's a blasted shame.     We are
well able to lick tliem ourselves.    Besides, tr.lvp
the beggars a chance."
A teacher had been explaining to his class the
points of the compass, and all were drawn up in
iront towards the north.
"Now, what's before you, John?"
"The North, sir."
"And what behind you, Tommy?"
" My coat tail, said he, trying at the same time
to get a glimpse at it.

¿NATIVE GRAPES.
I appreciate the áiotives that induced many
persons irom different States to send me grafts of
native and seedlings of native Grapes. Among
them were grafts from California in sealed tin
canB. They came late and I expected to find the
grafts dried and* dead. They were aa fresh as
hen cut from the vine, and some of them had
young buds an inch long, and sude of the grafts
have grown 25 feet.
It is not the best1 table' grapes that make the
best wine. The first object is to obtain Grspes of
fine aroma and flavor. The second, much saceha-
rine matter. The sweetness of the grapes, is no
evidence of the quantity of sugar they contain-
The' Catawba is not a very sweet grape, as it contains more Tartaric acid than usual; yet it abounds
in sugar, and'its must weighs heavier than the
mufet of most of the wine grapes of Europe and
makes a siron'ger wine ; and where casks are kept
full, and'i'n cold cellars, will improve for" five or
six years f but cannot be sent in casks, in warm
weather, a'lbng distance, with safety. Bottled, it
maj be sent safely if all seasons, and keep for a
century. The Maderia, Port and Sherry wines,
that are fully fermented, seldom weigh more than
8 deg., have brandy addid till they weigh from 18
to 20 deg. To some of their must in Maderia, they
add one third brandy. The result is, no fermentation. The liquid ia clear, sweétV and pleasant
to the taste and when shipping their wines, more
or less of this is added to give richness, aroma
and flavor. Last fall, I received by raílróad; and
express, some grapes of superrior quality from
North Carolina, Florida', Georgia, South Carolina,
and other States. Among- them the Warren grape
from Georgia, which has generally been represented to pe the Herbemont. It is adifferent grape—
bunch and grape larger aud more perfect. The
grape was not ripe enough to judge of its quality
as a table or wine grape ; but I believe as table
grape, it will be superior to the Herbemont. I
.«hall cheerfully pay a high price to any person
who will, by railroad or express, send me from two
quarts to a.barrel of native grapes, fully ripe, of
fine aroma flavor, to test their quality for wine.—
Or, if preferred, will send them the wine when
rrtade, if of value. The Fox grape h-is a strong
aroma, but is of no value as a wine or table grape.
The ¡-kin is thick and the pulp hard. I have frequently had grafts of the full blooded Fox grape
sent me, and request persons not to send me cutting's of the full blooded Fox. They cau be readily distinguished by the leaf, which íb thick and
very white ou the under side; and where full
blooded.-the stems are covered with hair; where
the stems'are smooth, they are worthy of trial
as they are of fine aroma and flavor. I receivec
this spring, for the first time, grafts with the name
of the Fox gr'Kpe attached, and stated to be superior to the Cüíawba. If true, as'a wine grape, it
will be worth1 áli 11 ions ot dollars. I regret that
the person did!not ¡fend his name and residence.
Last winter was the coldest ever known here, and
but few grafts livedo—these did. The leaf is full
blooded Fox in color'3n tlie underside, but varies
in shape, and has smooth stems, and I still hop
the grapes may be vaibable. The Catawba is i
grand son of the Fox. We should raise Catawba
seedlings ; a portion of therriwill go back to its
grand-father. I regret so many of those sent me
died, as from description, some of them, I believe,
would be very valuable. Some'persons omitted
to give their names and residence.- I request ihem
in future to remember it. I have ííáea several Ca-
lawba seedlings of large size, and great beauty of
color, raised at Herman, Missouri. The'leaf and
stems of ihe Catawba seedlings will gi*vé' certain
indications, the first or second year, what the fruit
will be, and those haying leaves more of the Fox
character than the Catawba, should be thrown
aw ay.
If to make and drink the wine of Scripture' \£
hot fo become asin and reproach, there are native
grapes that will be worth millions of dollars, and
seedlings can be raised of greater value. We have
a seedling of our Isabella, that, grown in the open
groun'd, bears larger fruit than the largest grapes
of Europe, raised under glass. Ours is the region
for grape culture, and the manufacture of wine.
The wine countries of Europe have few or no native grapes. Our hills and valleys are covered
with vines, producing hundreds of varieties of
grapes. Yet our Solomons have told us that our
soil and climate are not calculated for Ihe culture
of the grape, and manufacture of wine. 1 can
pardon this opinion at the North, where they have
the Fox and Frost grape only. But I now fee! assured that I have'on trial a few kinds of grapes,
belonging to a cold region, that in the northern
part of the State of new York, and in Vermont
will be valuable for wine. I am not yet prepared
to judge with certainty ofthe quality of many
kinds I have on trial. But I hope this fall to submit some wines to a select committee, made from
new grapes, that shall compare with some of the
best wines Europe, of the same age. If our temperance meu can be induced to respect the doctrines of the Bible, and nof interfere with the culture of the grape for pure wine, not many years
wiil elapse till we can not only supply the United
States with wine, hut include all Europe.
Even old persons have no cause to omit planting grape seed, from a fear t&at they may never
see the fruit. This suggestion has no reference to
myself, as 1 do net yet acknowledge myself to' be
seventy /owryearsof age. Inameit for the benefit of persons approaching what may be tailed
old age. I have a seedling, 16 months old. that is
more than 20 feet long, and has numerous lateral
branches, and would have been longer, had not my
gardener, retarded its growth, by giving the vine
a sudden turn, and nearly broke it off. 1 shall be
greatly disappointed if I have not bunches of
grapes on it when 25 months old.
A writer in the July number ofthe Southern
Cultivator, claims for tbe South advantages in
grape growing over either Europe or the Western
States. He says, "grapes grow here only on side
hill», facing the sun, and land coi table for grape
culture costs fVorn S100 to $400 per acre. Tbat
at yie South it costs from'$3 to S10." He claims
that South, when vineyards are of proper age, the
average cropto the acre will be from' 2,00b' to
2,500 gallons of pure wine. That a man can,
South, attend to double the number of acres that
he can here. That from the coldness of our climate, it is necessary to' add* sugar to make Champaign (sparkling) wine. That in their climate
Champaign wine can be made of superior quality,
without any addition. Is the winter a Champaign
manufacturer ? I have had both French and German Chairpaign manufacturers in my employ, but
have never bad one who knew of its being manufactured without both sugar and rock candy.—
Having, in'my'youthful days, resided in Georgia
and South Carolina, I feel a deep interest in- the
prosperity of those States. Yet, candor compels
me to admit, that I felt regret to learn that they
could average seven times as many gallobB of
wine to the acre as our vineyards yield. But in
these days of spiritual lappings, we are bound to
believe miracles ;: and this would be one. The
largest yieldever beard of here,was 1,000'gallons
to the acre, on the vineyard of Mr. Rentz. Even
in this case, I deem it would be prudent to allow a
little for careless measure. Robert Buchanan,-the
writer of a valuable pamphlet on grape culture
and wine manufacture, raise 800 gallons. Í would
urge grape-culture in the southern part of Georgia
and South Carolina, for making wine of the char"
actei- of Madeira antf Port, to which; in'those watm
Climates, they are compelled to add Brandy, And
I believe they can rival them. But their warm cli-
mateand early vintage would require sugar tobe
added to the must, or brandy to the wine. Mr. Herbemont of South Carolina, was many years engaged in'the culture of the grape, and manufacturer of wine., íhe early ripening Of his* grapes
in warm'weather, was the cause of much of his
wines running into the acetous fermentation.- The
addition of a sufficient quantity of the best loáf-
Bhgar to the must, may give a strength to the wine
that will preserve it, and be preferable to' spirits-
In the northern part of those States*, by having
cool cellars, they may compete with the best
American Sparkling, Still, and Hock wines. What
the quality of their native grppes may be for
wines, I am not prepared to give an opinion. But
for the table, I deem them superior to our Northern and Western grapes. As at present advised-
North Carolina stands ahead of all other States in
native v-'ine grapes. Last fall some grapes were
seat me from the southern part of North Carolina,
and a plant of the same grapes, and grafts. I
grafted 70 roots with tbem, but not one lived.
The plantjhas only grown eighteen inches, and is
a full brother of the worthless scuppernong, which
is proved by itsstem:and leaf. But there is no resemblance in ihe fruii If the plant sent me had
been the only one to bé: found, and its wine equaled my present impressions of it's value, from the
small sample of wine I made from the grapeá seut
me, S50.000 would not have i-aduced uie to liave
destroyed it. Like the scuppernong, it is not suited to onr soil and climate. In its native locality, where only one plant was found, if is a vigor-
our grower, aud bears a fine crop-of fruit. I say
worthless scnpperoongj for their great wine manufacturer informed me that to' make what he called Hock wine, which is a hard wine, he put three
pounds of sugar to the gallon o! must. The scuppernong has a thick skin, a hard pulp, and I fear
not abundant in juice. With enough sugar to
make it a sweet wine, it may be valuable, as I believe the wiue would be of fine aroma and flavor.
I expect from a continued trial of some new varieties of grapes, this fall, to be able to judge of then
quality, and be prepared to give the name aud
locality of the grapes, and the names of the persons who furnished those valuable for wine or the
table. N. LONGWORTH.
Tiiavel to El-rope.—The New York Courier
and Enquirer publishes a statement ofthe number of passengers conveyed to Europe during the
last four months by the ocean steamships. The
aggregate exceeds six thousand. Of this number 1,077 were carried irom New York to Liverpool by the Coliins lino, in eight trips ; 1.527 by
the Cunard line, in nine trips; 99-4 from Boston
by the Cunard line, in nine trips; total to Liverpool, 3.598. From New York to Havre, Livingston's litie, in five trips, carried 914; the French
screws, in three trips, 343; The Cunard screw

Masonic Independence.—We learn from the
Accacia, an able'Masonic monthly, edited by W. J,
Mellen, Esq., and* published in Natchez, Miss., that
the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of
Canada, has decla'rid itself independent of the
jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Great Britain,
Its independence has been promptly recognized by
the Grand Lodge of Vermont j but the Grand
Lodge of Virginia has advised the Graud Lodge
of Canada to return to' its allegiance. The motion to recognize the new movement was also lost
in the Graud Lodge of Maine by one majority.—
How the Graud Lodge of England will receive it,
it is not yet known.
Fires at Gold Hill and' Gbass Vallkt.—We
learn from the Nevada Journal that on Wednesday, October 1st, a fire broke out in J. Jobe's
Store, at Gold Hill, a flourishing little mining
town about thirteen miles from Nevada, which
quickly communicated toother buildings adjoining, and soon nearly all the town was an fire.-1-
Fourteen buildings were destroyed. The loss, ae
nearly as cau be ascertained, is about $20,000. Of
this sum Jobe is the heaviest sufferer, losing fall
£8,000.- But eight buildings are left siandinj?. It
¡s impossibleto tell how the fire originated.
On Tburscay raorniug, Oct. 2d;, a large brewery,
near Grass Valley, on the Nevada road, was also
consumed by fire.- A- barn, full of hay, several
out buildings and two valuable horses were also
burned*. It is supposed, to h*ve been the work of
an incendiary.
Thc Cultivation op the ülivb in the Unitkd
STATES.-Mr. Robert' Cbisolm, of Beaufort, South
Carolina, in answer to the inquine* of l!»e Commissioner of the Patent Office, gives a hi-hly fll
teresting account of his experience in fhe cultiva
tioh of the olive. Mr. C. obtained his tree* from
the neighborhood of Florence, early ¡n 183'i _
They w^e of two kinds-the small, round olive
esteemed the best for oil., and- a i^ch larger, _d
moreov.l variety, upon which the first named waa
grafted, Tbe winter of 1835, he state,, was an
exceedingly cold one, and killed the roots of all
the orange trees in the Southern Slates, but did
«ot ,n the least injure these olive trees. The trees
a nst di* not improve very rapidly, for want of
cult.vation. In order to remedy this, and, at the'
same timepay expenses, sweet potatoes aud field
peas were planted among them. Thi, waR foillld
to succeed admirably , the trees grew rapidly, and
uud to do every jeaf.

A New Gold= Reoio.w—From a letter, date*
Santa Fe, August 1st, and published io the New
Orleans Bella, we take the following extract:
A. captive woman, sometime ago, was brought
in from the Indian country, wbo stated that goli
in large quantities was found in tbe country in
which she was captive for many years. A small
party, numbering twenty-eight persons, started
lor the land of gold, but the Indians met them and1
prevented them rrom going into their country
Since then, another captive (a man) has returned,
who corroborates the report,, and sBys gold can be
picked u'pin large quantities upon the surface of
the earth. A party has been made up, of sixty
men, who start immediately for this el dorado,-
and take with them the late captive, who assures
them that the gold is plenty, and «oemd as reported.
This Mexican has been captive fourteen years.
The gold is found in a country about four hun--
dred aud Bfty miles from- Santa Fej It is occupied by a tribe of Indians called Pinolinas, Caris-
alinas.- a portion ol the numerous tribe ot Apachas.-
TheSooab Chop:—The unfavorable news for
the sugar crop has opened contracts early this
year. The New York Post says that a number of
crops have been; contracted at various prices,,
which it reports at from S21 to 523 per box of 16
and 16i= airobas-, all with more or less heavy cash
advances. The imports of sugar into tbe United!
States djiring the last five years amounted to 2,-
23i,000,000-'pounds, or an average of 44U,000,000.
pounds annually. The exports amounted to 118;-
000,000, crouan average of 23,000,000 annually..
The consumption ol foreign sugar in fhe United
States, in tbe last five years, reachad 2,116,000,--
000 pounds, or 423,200,000 annually. The pi-o-
duct of sugar ia tho United States during that
time was 1,795,000,000-pounds, or au average of
350,000,000, of which were exported aljout 30.000,-
000 pounds. The consumption in Ntat perlnfi of
sugar grojvn in the United States was 1 iJiii.OOO,-
000, or au average of 353.200,000-, making a tola*
consumption of 776,000,000 pounds per year. Taking the population of the United States at twenty-
e millions, and tbe total consumption ol foreign-
and domestic sugar in the United States iff eijuai
lo thirty-oue pounds peryear for eaoh man, woman and child io the entire country.
