intend to keep some coilers as late as the middle or end of July, before ihej 

 are excited, and then to plaee them in a bottom heat. The fruit, by doing so,. 

 will be perfectly ripe before the dull weather of autumn sets in, hut not so 

 with the wood : by which circumstance they will retain the leaves vigorously 

 through the winter, and consequently the fruit will retain its plumi)ness tilt 

 April or May ! 



You will now say this is going too far, but it undoubtedly may be done.. 

 New ripe grapes in February, and plenty of old grapes till the end of June I 

 [January]. There is little beyond the power of man, if he will but exert 

 those faculties with which God has endowed him. 



It has been stated^ by a contemporary author, lliat it is our own fault if we 

 do not make ourselves kings, however low our rank in society. To a certain 

 extent, he is riglit, although at a transient glance, it may appear a wild ex- 

 pression, and a moral impossibility ; but such things have been and still are ! 

 I adtnire those apparently wild rhapsodies; for I am sure, however extrav- 

 agant they may ajjpear, a young man camiot read them without reflecting on 

 them, and if he does reflect, he cannot help being the better for it. If he 

 has energy in him, all his powers will be aroused into action, while he says 

 to himself, "are such things possible, and am I, drone-like, lying a burden, 

 rather than an useful member of society ? I feel that I have connnon sense ; 

 then let me arouse those inert powers, and if I do not rise to be a king, I will 

 strive to be a man, and fill up that blank in creation for which I was intended^ 

 by being an useful member of society. 



If we strive to be useful and to please, and this is all that is exacted of us, 

 we shall add to the comfort of those around us, as well as our own. — Hort.
