The vine growers in this country tell us that a rocky and pebbly soil is best adapted to the culture of the vitne. This notion had its origin in their ignorance of' the agencies that retard the healthful developineit of the grape. If the ground be hilly, it matters iot whether it be rocky and pebbly, or not; because, forsooth that pebbles and rocks are always found in mountainous regions, it does not follow that they are the cause of the better growth of the grape, far froi it. It is the hilly land that makes the grape vine florish. The wine of which .wlenus was the goA, and which-is reniered still more celebrated or immortal by the oIdes of ANACJIA EON, was made in the mountainous regions of Greece ; awil if a retrospective view he taken of the entire face of this colossal (lobe, it will be seen that wine nfever was yet made of a good qluality', on leeel land.

Now if this theory be correct, namiely : That the intense heat, in level countries, be the cause of the failure of the grape crop, will not the shading of the vineyard with broad leaf trees, so as to aflord an ample shade, serve as an efficient agency, in preventing green grapes from shedding off tle vine or rotting ?

Bonaparte, during his grand career, required no other condition but darkness; yet, at St. Ilclena,he suffered from sleeplessness among his other tortures. Habit exercises an almost omnipotent influence in this matter. A distinguished watchmak 2r having retired from business, was in danger of phrenitis for want of ;lcep.
