The present crop of grapes promises a more abundant yield than that of the last season. There are about 24 acres under culture, which at the last vintage yielded upwards of f COO gallons of wins, besides a vast quantity of grapes used for other purposes. The situation is delightful; running parallel with the river ; it is the admiration of strangers, and a general retreat o'f those who live in its vicinity. The intelligent traveller, while Ire rest from the fat'nrue of his journey, finds a source of true gratincaiion mingled with delight, in contemplating the beauties of nature and art, which are here so happily blended the abode'of rural fe'icitv. ST. ANTHONY. 'From $ddisQii$ Travels in Italy Li 1703. They sell at Padua the Life of St. Anthony, which is read with great devotion ; the most remarkable part of it is his discourse to an assembly of Fish. As the audience and sermon are both very exiraordinarv, I will set down the whole passage at length. u Vr'nen the Heretics would not regard his preaching, he betook himself to the sea-shore, where the jive r Morccchio disembogues itself into the Adriatic. He here called the fish together in the naine of God, 'that they might henr his holy word. 'The rlsh came swimming towards him m such vast shoals, both'from the sea ind from the river, that the surface of the water was quite covered with their multitudes. They quickly ringed themselves, according to their several specie, into a very beautiful congregation, and likeo many rational creatures, prcsent-1 ea themse.ves before him to hear the word of God. St. Antonio was so struck with the 'miraculous obedience and submission of thte poor annua!, that he found a secret sweetness ditiiiing upon his soul, and nt last addressed .himself to them in the folowing words. ''Aitho th infinite pow er and providence of floij (my dearly beloved fish) discovers itself in all the works of his creation, as in the heavens, in the suy, in the moon, and in the st ir, in this lower world, in man, and in ether perfect creatures; nevertheless tlie goodness of the Divine Majesty shines out in you more eminently, and appears after a niore particular manner, than ii any other created beings. For notw ithstanding yr.u are romprelvended undeT the name ot reptiles, partaking of a diddle nature between stones and beasts, and imprisoned in the de-ep abyss of waters; notwithstanding vou are tost among billows, tlirown up and down by teinrtsts, deaf vj bearing duwu w cecb, au4 twnVli

hibehoM: notwithstanding, I say, these; natural disadvantages, the Divine Grea ntss shows itself in you after a very wonderful manner. In you are seen the mighty mysteries of an Infinite Goodness. The holy scriptures has always made use of you, hs the types and shadows of some profound s icrunent. u Do you think that, without a mystery, the first present God Almighty made tj man, was of you, O ye fishes? Do yo i think that, without a niystrry, among aU creatures and animals wiiich were appointed for sacrifices, vou on y were excepted, O ye fishes? Do you thiuk there was nothing meant by our Saviour Chr:t, that next to the Paschal Lamb he look so much pleasure in the food of you, O ye fishes? Do you think it was by nitre chance, that, when the Uedeeiner of ti.e world was to pay a tribute to Cfl sr, he t!o lght fit to find it in t'e mouth of a fish? These are all of them so many

mysteries and sacraments, tr.at oblige you in a mor particular manner to the praise of your Creator. "It is fi-om God, my beloved fish, that 3ou linvc received being, life, motion and sense. It is lie that has given you, in compliance with your natural inclinations, the w hole world of waters for your habi tation. It is he that has furnished it with lodgings, chambers, caverns, grottoes, and such magnificent retirements as are not to he met with in the seats of kings, or in the ralaces of princes ion have i x the water for your dwelling, a clear trans parent cloment, brighter than crystal; you can tee from its deepest bottom eve ry -taing that passes on its surkce; you nave the eyes ot a L.ynz, or aiuiriw; you are guided by a secret and unerring principle, delighting in every thing that may be beneficial to you, and avoiding every thing that may be hurtful; you are carried on by a hidden instinct to preserve yourselves, and to propagate yov.r species; you obey, in all your actions, works and motions, the dictates and suggestion of nature, without the least repugnancy or contradiction. "The colds of winter, and the beats of summer, are equally incapable of molesting you. A serene or a clouded sky arc 'indifferent to vou. Let the earth abound in fruits, or be cursed with scarcity, it has no influence on your welfare. You live secure in r?ins and thunders, lightnings ml earthquakes; you have no concerns in the blossoms of spring, or in the glowings of summer, in the fruits of autumn, or in the frosts ef winter. You are not solicitous about hours or days, months or years; the variableness of the weather, or the change of seasons. "In what dreadful -majesty, in what wonderful power, in what amazing providence, did God Almighty distinguish you among nil th species of creatures that perished in the Universal Deluge! You only were insensible of the mischief that hal laid waste the whole world. "All this, as I have already told you, ought to inspire you with gratitude and praise towards the Divine Majesty, that has done so great things for you, granted you such particular graces and privileges, ar.d heaped upon you so many distinguishing favors. And since for ail this you canrrot employ your tongues in the praises of your benefactor, "and are not provided with words to express your gratitude; makc at least some siinvof rcverence; bow yourselves at his name; give sonic shew of gratitude, according to the best of your capacities ; -express your thanks in the most becoming manner that you are able, and be not unmindful of all the benefits he has bestowed upon you. "He had no sooner done speaking, but, behold a miracle ! The IisTj, as tho they had been endued with reason, boived down their heads with all the marks of a profound humility and devotion, moving their bodies up and down with a kind of fondness, as approving what li3d been spoken by the blessed father, St. Antonio. The legend adds, that after many heretics, who were present at the miracle, had been converted by it, the Saint gnve his benediction to the frili, and dismissed them.' I could not forbear setting -lovn thv titles given to St. Anthony in one -of the tables that 'hangs up to him, as a token of gratitude from a poor peasant, who fancied the Saint Had saved him fin breaking his neck.
