" MOUNTAIN," A WINE. I possess two large decanters, engraved, one " Sherry," the other " Mountain." A friend of mine has an old silver wine -label engraved " Mountain." Can you enlighten me as to what sort of wine this was, and where it was made ? I shall be much obliged by any information. C. E. BARNETT.

[The ' New Eng. Diet.' says, a.v. ' Mountain,' 5 : "In full mountain wine. A variety of Malaga wine, made from grapes grown on the mountains." The quotations illustrating the definition range from 1710 to 1833, the last being from Redding's ' Modern Wines ' : " Very little old Mountain or Malaga sweet wine is grown at present."]

AUTHOR OP QUOTATION WANTED.

My dead love came to me, and said : " God gives me one hour's rest

To spend with thee on earth again. How shall we spend it best? "

" Why, as of old," I said, and so

We quarrell'd, as of old ; But when I turn'd to make my peace,

That one short hour was told.
