Tlie Kxile of ( loiidlaud.
BY  CHAItl.KS MACKAT.
When 1 was a dweller in Clnudland
I dwell in a rich and a pr<>u-l laud J
I was lord of the clime,
1 was kioj. of lhe t me ;
And the sun and ine shower,
The leaf aud lhe flower.
All came to my bidding iu Cloudland.
I was monarch supreme in my Cloudland;
1 was in»sl' r of late iu that proud land ;
I would not eniluie
That a grief without cure,
A love that con11 end.
Oi a false hearted frit nd,
Should dwell for uu instant in Cloudland.
My Cloudland my beanttfu' Cloudland,
I made there a gn at and u proud laud ;■
With skies ever bright,
And with he;.rls ever light-,
Neither poitow or sin
Found a hnrbur within.
And love was the law of inj Cloudland.
But, alas for myself" aud my proud bind T
There came reviliifinn iu Oloud'and ;
My people, Untrue,
Broke my -Cepire in two,
And false to their vow,
Took ih<' crown from my hrnw
And banished me far fiom my Cioudland.
Mv Clnudland, my beau'ilul GlidMland,
How happy wan 1 in thut proud landl
All lhe wisd   tn I'v won,
Sine* my realm was undone.
I- but poor tu ri pay
What I lout in the day
Wheu I lurn'd my last l-ok  upon Clnudland.
O. ye thoughts nnd ye feelings oft'loudland !
Ye died when Iqu tted that proud land!
I wander d'eciown'd.
On a bare ehl.y ground ;
An exile forlorn.
Weary, weary nnd worn,
Never more to r v sit my Cloudland.

Native Grape*.
The following article we clip from the Cincinnati Commercial. Il waa written by Mr. N. Long-
worth :—
The pNM&i winter has been severe, hut as last
winter was dry, and the grape wood fully rip-,
and no sap, I do not believe our vinea are Injured.
Gr.ipe culture is Bxtrading Gaftra  rspidly  than
I am a strong  advocate lor luising grapes
ns'vely from  seed, but not  Irom the seed of
foreign grapes, orossed with our native urapes, _.■
been recommended.     We slienKT plant exten-
ly  the seed of mir   niilivi.' gr;!-ri;;.' And great
changes will be produced.     As an eviden:e ol it,

hibition of our Horticultural Society aa thi Black
Uiimhnri:b. The berry was larger than the largest
Black Hiimlmrgh on exhibition, though raised un-'
der glass.
In raising plants Irom the seed ot the Catawba,-
grapes ot great value may be produced, and varieties wilhout aamber. But tha (paster portion
will go back to its grandfather, the Tax ; and
many of them of great l>cau!y of color, and being
of large site. The fox grape is rrmfily dit-tin-
hed by the extreme white color of the leaf
on the under side ; and where a full-blooded fox,
the stem wilt be covered with a hairy down.
Where there is a dowu ihe plant should he thrown
asiile as soon as Ilie r-lvn ■.'■:■:.■'.[. Where the
stem is smooth, tf the leaf is white, it may produce a good fruit. Whei'8 the nod it side of the
leaf has less or not more ofthe lex character than
Ihe Catawba, a plant of valr.e 111:17 be expected,
The commou fox .Cape, as the shin is thick and
pulp hard, yields but little mii^t, and mout of
them not much sugar, and kbetftfolft are not valuable as wine grapes. Where wine is made from
them, I should put but 12 onnces of loaf sugar to
the gallon. If a sv/eei wins la desired; 30 onooaa.
It will have a good annua and flavor.
I find grapes from the North, generally, when
cultivated here, to possess le«s sngar than thoie
Irom a warmer region, and in making wine North
an addition of sugar before fermentation will insure good wine. Even here, persons profess to
h ve a wine kepi sweet, and all fermentation pre-
\ ented by a charm. I am satisfied that no grape
will make a tweet wine without the addition of
sugi.r, unless the grapea be dried'or tho must
boiled. Fermentation Ib easily prevented by drugs,
but are highly injurioua to wine, and [regret to
see such wines lauded by persons who make or
sell them. It is to the moderate latitude". w«
must lock generally for our best wine and table
grapea. Thus North Carolina stands ahead ot all
other States.
I have a new variety from that State on trial,
that I deem may be of great vulue as a wine grape,
but fear it will require a more southern latitude
than ours. In another year if it equals my prea-
u.it e-pectations, I shall bring it to puhlic notice.
Increased grape culture will hereafter enable us
0 buy all the wiue we want of superior quality,
iy paying an extra price; and I believe our 3till
Cilawba, when of proper age, will rival the best
pure wines ol Europe. II rny life is spared I shall
ry lo prove it. To mannlact.ire wine of the best
quality, requires great neatness and care only, anil
s a- easy as to make good butter. The northern
part of Georgia ano South Carolina will produce
good wines, but may, like Sherry, Port, and Madeira wine.-', require some spirit (u be added. Deep,
arched cellars, may be all that is necessary ; hut
ihey must not expect tbe wild vision now existing
there to be realized. One of their vinemen saye,
' an average cr^p will be from 2,000 to SIjAQQ per
lew." 1 hie would be bIx times the average crop'
at wiue districts ol Europe, and of our vineyardi.
All can  be   Grmt  In   ih.lr Sphere.
Since fortune is not is not in our power, let us
he as Utile as possible in hers. Why should it he
necessary that a man should be rtch to be generous? It we measured by the quality and mt by
the quantity of things, the particnl rs which accompany an action is what should denominate it
mean or great. The highest elation o, human
life is to be attained by each man that pretends tu
it; fer every man can be as vaii.int. 88 generous,
as wise, and as merciful, as the faculties aud opportunities whicli he has from heaven and fortune
will permit. He th. t can say to himself. I d
much good and am as virtuous as my moat er
est endeavors will allow m«. whatever is bis
tion in the world, is to himself possessed of tbe
highest hcn<T. It ambition is rot thus turned, It
iB no other than a continual source of anxiety and
vexation. But when il has thiB cast, it invigorates Ibe mind ; and the consc'onsnesa of Ita own
worth is a reward, which it is not in the power I T
envy, reproach, or detraction, to take from I
Thus, tbu seat of ho* or is io a man's own bosom
and no one can want suiport who is in p<
nf an honest conscience, but he who would tuflei
the reproaches ot it for other greatness.
