T. “HEM P STE A l>. [Tlie following magnificent poem, from the Louisville Journal, deserves publication wherov- ar the English language is read. It Is a master piece:] * Said one whose temples shone like frosts upon the aotnmn plain, Where only withered stalks, to tell of summir’i pride, remain: “Many and many a year ha* flown, my locks with time are white— Locks that around my infant brow bnng like the plnmea of Night— This -ear Is doll, this arm la weak, these eyes with age are dim. That heard the roar, that strove, that gaxed upon the carnage grim. I warn a youth, I loved my gnn, a sword, the book a that tell Of plains Where war’s hot, crashing bolts on frantic thousands fell; It was upon those fearful days, when o’er the far frontier. The death-whoop at the dead of night smote on the settler's ear; To father, mother, sister, friend, we spabe the low farewell— With nodding plome and jarring drum down many a savage dell. O'er rock and plain and roaring stream, by sunlight and by star. To meet the lurking foe in fight, we wandrred long and tar. While foremost in our daring band. In manly bloom rode on, Bold Braddock. and the stately form of brave yonng Washington; Till on a time, one balmy morn, within the ringing Jnne, While woods pnt on their richest hues, brooks sang their blithest tone. Where bine Monongabela shone tbrongb banks of pleasant green, , We stood and saw liis smile leap nil the clasping boughs between; It was a lonely spot and wild, where never white man's tread Bad come to scare the browsing deer, or crash the violet's head. But where, as down the verdant wilds, the river slid and foamed. The Beaver reared his mimic town, the Bear and Otter roamed. And all the sounds that stirred the gloom, were but the Panther’s bowl. The clamor of the wheeling Crow, or sob of hooded Owl. I said within my soldier's heart, that it were well to lie In such a spot, so still and green, when o'er my swimming eye, Amidst the roar and crack of gnna, by scalping knile or ball, Tlie winter of the grave siionld come that ever comes on all. Down by tlie river's marge we toiled, through all the Summer uay. Then turned into the neighboring hills, a steep and rocky way Onr step was free, onr thoughts were light, as step and thought should be.

Huge glistening pines and beeches wove an eiion dome of shade. Through which the sun, in fiery globes, and golden isleta played Upon the leaves, the doll dead leaves that crackled to our tread— That crackle shot across my sonl a shudder and a dread. My heart grew sick, a viewless hand seemed on my shoulder laid, That held me back until I grew of leaf and breeze afraid: whisper came that ran and moaned through all that lealy place. And said I never, nevermore should see ray moth er'a face! Up through a lonesome dell we wound, where smooth green mosses o’er The twisted roots and rough brown stonea had Luznriaut o’er the bruaifliHLidi] the knotted laurel grew, _ And sharp, grey rocks against the limbs their wrink- lea brows upthrew; And now a stillness came that seemed the very winds to fill. No innnnnr trembled in the dell, no whisper on tho bill, J , The silence tiugled on our ears, it was so deep and still; And nothing told h->w lurking round, all burning for the fray. Eight bnndred painted savages with leveled rifles lay. Till flashing from a caverned rock, on leaf and blade and plume, A solitary musket flash lit np the woody gloom; Anil he who next before me walked with one tre mendous leap.

We stood like meu, and &torm for storm back on tbe foe returned. Till ono red hissing wail of fire the reeling vulley burned. And down as roars the trampling hail npon the ten der grain. So rushed npon our startling band that murderous battle rain. And madly back, through storm for storm, our bul lets smote like rain. They dashed amidat a viewleaa foe, as harmlessly and vain.

Then wc drove back to the high road, and got again on wines. Did I remember the gloss from the Saint Barbara cask, just after the brown-gold one in the Saint Antonio ! That tvas real Amontillado. What was Amontilla do? Where did it grow ? Bless me ! why. nowhere; it was an accidental quality discov ered by tasting. It had an almoudy, dry, bit ter flavor, which rendered it of rare value to mix; .because I must clearly understand (aud it was only fair to tell me) that English sher ry was a chemical compound, made, like a French side-dish, of many ingredients, and of various ages and quulitics of wines. In Xcrcs there were five hundred thousand arrobas of wine—thirty of which went to a bota (butt) —made annually. This made tbirty-four thou sand butts, nine thousand of which were of first quality. Sherry is too strong and too dear for Spaniards, and too feverish for the climate. The best is, in Xcrcs, a dollar a bot tle. Tbe best in the bodega is worth from fifty to eighty guineas a butt; and, after in surance, freight, and salcehurgcs, it stands the importer in from one rmndred to one hun dred and thirty guineas before it Teaches the cellar (say) in BelgraveSquare. “How many gallons to thc butt, Don Sanchez ?” “About one hundred and twelve. This will bottle in to nbont fifty tvvo dozen, and the duty is five shillings and sixpeuce the gallon. So you may form your own opinion abont cheap Lon don sherries, which are, generally, very ‘cu rious’ indeed—mere doctor’s draughts, in fact, made up according to certain swindling pre scriptions.” Here was a blow for my old friend Binns, who opens a bottle of forty-eight shilling sher ry'with the air of an antiquary unswathing a mummy 1’haroab. Thought I, thc next time the deluded man points to the oily stickiness of his glass. I will leap up, seize him, and say, in a hollow voice : “Binns, you arc tbe victim of a life-long delusion; that stuff yon drink,- you think is the juice of the Spanish grapes, plucked by meu plaviug guitars and smoking cigars; you call it, iu poetical moments, bot tled sunlight, snufire, and so on; bab ! (after the mannes of Napoleon) it is only a cheuiicul compound made up of drags aud infusions, like Daffy’s “elixir or James’s powder. It 5* cooked up with boiled, tre-icley wine and bran dy. It is a compound mixed front a dozen bar rels, and made to order for a particular mar ket. If the vines of Xercs grew till they got black in tbe face, Binns, they could not yield wine like your forty-eight shilling sherry." Tbe Dou laughed, and said that certainly tbe sherry wine district was very small; uot more than twenty miles square. Therefore, it could no yield honest wine enough even for half London. The sherry grape grew only on certain low, chalky hills, where tho earth, be ing light-colored, is' not so much burnt—did not chap and split so mnch by the son, as dark er and heavier soils do. A mile beyond these bills the grapes deteriorate. The older thc plants the better; but the fewer the grapes.— Dickens's “Household Words." Wc learn from the Herald that the Schooner, John II.
