Write ! write ‘ write 1 When the eye of the morn looks red, And write ! write ! write ! When honest folks are abed !

After the training is completed, the pruning ■ becomes so uniform year niter year, that any intelligent I hoy can perform the task. I have a geuppeuong vino about five years old : hall \ ot litis vine IS allowed to run on an arbor, while tlie real , is train 1 and pruned somewhat as described iilstve, and the result lasi year, ot the contrast, was truly surpri I sing,—more grapes being upon a foot square on tlie pru- j tied .id • than was to be found upon a aquare yard on j tlie other side. This was witnessed by many of my 1 n ighbors who viewed it wit i astonishment. 1 paid n visit in In J-t to my old native State, Noith t ‘Urolina, on business, and during my sojourn sisnething took me to that part of the State, where the Scupper uong vine is propagated to a large exlent; all, howev j er, on the arbor plan, or some such, and although m tilt* I midst ol the vintage many of their vines had on them j “ ot ” “">i!'e grope, while,perhaps,anotherrlow at hand would he tolernhly full. Upon enquiiy, I found they , bore their trim alternately; il one overbore one Bcason j it would be too much exnnsied to produce Iruit and sup | l K ' rl the additional foliage and old vine the succeeding I year. When I asked why they trained their vines up- I on so unmanageable a plan, they invariably replied, j “ When l get them this way 1 have no further trouble i with them,” never dreaming once of the utility of the j pruning instrument. Ask any one conversant on tlie ! subject Ot tie- vine and its culture, and he will tell you , dial the benign influence of the sun's rays snlutely ! indispensibte to the prop-, maturation of the fruit, so essentially requited in the fomentation. Now, I oon trnd that under this thatched root canopy is totally de feated this most desirable object, for under this nian agemem tlie sun s rays are entirety obstructed from th, earth, and it is evident fiom this cauw that the Scup peniong does not prodiK'e better with many persons than it does. I noticed a very flourishing vine in 1841, 1 nt Major A. Alston's, in Warren county, N C.,who proposed grabbing it from ;.s position (or producing no! | better.

Tite great stumbling block to many whom I have found desirous to enter on a ainall scale into this Lu- 1 siness, npjiears to be the doubt how they are to procure vines as it does not come from the cutting.

The early Cgyptaina do not appear to have known the value of Cotton, although it is known to have led in hyp! 530 years before Christ. The mummy cloths are all made of linen. Herodotus is the first Creek writer who speaks of cotton, and this in a bri**/ reference to India, Eli ■ Romans received the cottoii | tiiamifactures from India. From this count *y cotton! was introduced into Upper and Lower Kgypt. The ! i Moors of Spain introduced it into Europe. In the fineness and delicacy of the manufacture of | Cotton, the natives of linliu had the supremacy fr i many centuries. Tbeat are to be attributed to the fine j ness ot their climate and the delicacy of their sense o. touch. Many dories are told of the wonderful tsxtti. ot their cloths, and among th - u the follow. : A Persian Aui i.mu.Uh i .audio have carried home , t4 >h ! * master a c coa -not, which on being broken was ; eend to contain a piece of cotton of some thirty yards in i • nth,a.id light as gossamer.

Out ot nearly one I hundred mills visited by the lecturer whde in Great Rri i “nly one was moved by water power,and that was lal I'*nark in Scotland. This mill nppenred to be very j ju lioimisly managed ; the operatives were neat, cleanly j u their p *rs ns, an 1 th nr houses tidy and con fort able, j* n summer, the females wear no shoes nor stockings, • an, l only the married ones ceps—the unmarried ones i bareheaded. The wages were about one half of those in Lowell, but th * Scotch operative* were requir ed to work only 63 hours n week, while those of Lowell are required to work 73 hours. The appenrnnc'* of Manchester was then described. The lecturer had not found the manufacturing popula tion so brutal and degraded as has often been repre sented. 1 le did not fin I the managers so cruel or aristocratic as their enemies charge that they are. The mills arc owned mostly by individuals, and not by incorporated | companies. As in this country, a rigid system of econ omy is required and the rules enforced arc no stricter than the exigences of the case demand. The laws of Pirliaineiu bearingesf>eciiilly ujain the own*rand man ulacturer, are much more stringent than any ha can force upon his operatives. Most of the female operatives cannot write, onJ all class-** of operatives are groly improvident, addicted togui, beer and wan* y dan king, in soma pecunar branches of work, the w’ages are ns high as in thts coun try—l ui the general average is only about two thirds what is paid in American mills. Tne lecturer said he should not pretend to deny that crime and destination existed among the operatives, but “imply to assert that their condition was not so bad as j it had been represented. Formation of Soil. i In the waters of rivers, but especially in those of the sea. there exists vast numbers of minute microscopic ’ BoimakuJes, called Ehrenherg infusorial animals, wlfch are fitted to live each class in its own spcc.al (dement | only, and wduch therefore, die in myriads where the ! sweet and salt waters mingle. It is almost incredible i to see how densely lire water is sometimes peopled by tlies* creator**, how rapidly they multiply, in what countless numbers they die. Their skeletons and en velopes consisting of a calcareous ad silicious matter extracted from the water, are almost imperishable.— I They commix with the mud of the river, and come ! with it. to form the deposites of slime that till up the \ channels, raise the growing islands, or add to the belt ol most fertile land which increases seAward, where tle | waters are still. As the tide advances up itschnnnel, the wale is of the river spread and flow over the surface I so * Lot far up the stream, where the upper waters are still sw'eet, the salt or brackish under-current carries the living things w..ich float in it to certain death, and leaves their bodies behind it, to add to the accumulating mud The extensive himmai surfaces of the rivers and and sea water which in this way are made to meet and iusuie a more rapid destruction of infix orioi life titan corn 1 in almost any other way b? brought abou. • Experiment has shown that as far up as the tide reach e.-, the so-called alluvial and poeite in and along the chan nel of the r.ver anoundi with the remains of these ma rine animalcules, while above the reach of the tide none of them are to be found. In the Elbe they are se. il as far ns eighty miles above us month. At l/ux i hav*o rmd Gl<iokr*dt. which nr* nearly tony miles from the open sea, their silicious and calcareous skeletons J form from une-lourth to one-third of the mass of the i f esh mud , exclusive of the Kind ; while further up the i river they nmoiint to about one-half of this quantity : lithe Rhine, th* Scheldt, the Mersey, the Liffcy.the Thames, the Forth, the Humber, and the Wash, the same form of deposit e goes on; •> that in the months of all tidal rivers there are to he superndded to the tne- ch inical debris brought down by the upper waters, the | more rich and fertilizing HMinml spoils which the sea i wonderfully incorporates into the growing deltas, nnd the banks of r sing mud.

To men who aredeli cate and not accustomed to bathing and exposure of the person to the air, I would particuiariv recommend to them, when they commence bathing, if in cold wea ther to do som u well fieated room. This ablution of the body with cold water, I think should fie done eve ry day in the year. Many persons shudder at the idea ol using water upon their persons in cold w eather I l . h !J k \ { ‘* lhe |“ must useful. In the very cold winter of ii b L • *' C V Akereroinhie, 0. D. one of tne oldest Episcopal clergymen in Philadelph a, railed a my house *n one of tle coldest days. The old man was about seventv-five years of age, and of a veiy light thin hgure.

Abetcromhie. In Jami iry, 1815, i was called upon at Norwich, in Connecticut, by an old gentleman seventy-two years of age He told me that he hod not heard my bet ares, hut that he had heard ot th'm. and my remarks upon bathing in cold water. He said to me “my neighbors call m- ern/zy, because I go out in all weathers, and never wear an overcoat: and here,” said he, o • ■mug a thin cotton shirt, upon his bosom,“is all th*- coveting 1 wear for my breast,save my coat and waistcoat, and further, said he, “1 bathe a gieat deal in cold water. I prefer bathing in the river .here.’’— Bitch on th*> Lungt. Tlie True Lilt*.
