Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1851-10-30

ces about the middle of August Now, lin A
prIl,) vine dressers are busily engaged in hoeing
ana digging among the vines, clearing them of
weeds, and hilling them up, very much as the
farmers In the States do their corn, potatoes, &c.
Ihey use, for the purpose, hoes somewhat re-
sembllng pickaxe, excepting that one side has
three long prones, with which they loosen the
earth very effectively. The soil generally re-
sembles light and sandy loan, and does not
appear capable Of producing scarce any vegeta-
ton But the grape and olive, you know, will
flourish where almost any other vegetable life
would starve and perish. In all that part of the
south of Spain through which have travelled
IRON Cadiz to Malaga, Grenada, &C., this same
barren, sterile appearance of soil is apparent
upon mountains and upands The general sur
face of the country is not merely undulating
but mountalnous-to far greater degree than
had any idea. do verify believe that these
arid hills and mountains comprise nine tenths of
the land in the province of Andalusia, aud that
the fertile spots-the vegas or valleys-only
constitute one tenth. But these latter are the
gardens of Spain"
After reading the above, one can fully under
stand the very serious injury which a rain would
| do in the midst of the raisiD season.

Malaga Raisins.

HotO they are dried and prepared for Market
The editor of the Rochester Advertiser, while
American Consul at Talgiers, made an eXcur-
sion through the South of Spain, and in the
course Of his jaunt passed through the country
in the vicinity of Malaga, where the most deli
cious rasns are grown. lie thus describes the
very simple manner in which the choicest raisins
are prepared
You have often partOken of Malaga raisins,
that most delicious of all preserved fruits, and SO
have all our countrymen; but every one may
not know how they are prepared. The process
is the most simple imaginable. AS soon as the
grapes begin to ripcn, the vine dressers pass
through the vineyards and cut the clusters Oft
from the vines, and leave them upon the naked
ground. turning them over daily, until the heat
of the sun above and the warmth OF the earth
upon which they lie, have baked and dried them'
when they are gathered up, put into boxes ana
are ready for use. This is all the wonder and
mystery there is in preserving and preparing
this delicious fruit. To my inquiry why 'hey
did not place leaves, or some clean' dry SUD
stance of the kind upon the grouud, for the fruit
to lie upon,l was told that the naked ground was
much better-that, in fact, the fine flavor OF the
frait was dependent more on the warmth OF the
earth. than the mere external heat of the SUM-
Care has to be taken, however that the truI' does
not get wet while undergoing this process. Bu
as 1t seldom rains during the summer or vintage
in this country, it is very rarely that the fruit has

hearted, to begin his daily task with bitter re.
membmnce of the past night. The chest lay
concealed beneath the floor of his hut until the
end of the war. Every inquiry concerning its
owner was set on foot by Jean Landrean: il
contained gold to an enormous amount. AS
much publicity as could be given to the event
was promoted by the honest boatman but IN
vain. The thing remained mystery to this
hour. Jean Llndrean died wealthy man, but
even on his death he'd he bade his son, whom he
lett rich, happy, and respected, to use every en-.
dcav0r to discover the owner of the gold; and
for many years his son also made every research,
sParlng neither time nor expense TO fulfil his
fathers dying command.
A rude cross in the wood on the spot where
1t is supposed the mortal struggle took place be-
tween the flying royalists and some republican
soIdlers-a small tombstone of white marble in
the grave yard Of Anceuis, raised by LandfeHn
over the corpse of the murdered babe, are all
that is left to tell the story of the lstarred roy.
aist gentleman and his unhappy wife The
chronicles of La Vendee could furnish many
such an episode as this, but there are few who,
like Jean Landrean, would seek to make the
story known. He reverts to it even in his will,
and leaves an annuity to be bestowed for ever
on the oldest boatman on the Loire, in order to
commemorate the unhappy event which, against
his own desire, had been the Foundation of his
fortune.

Che Family Gtrflt.
A Mothers last Lesson.

"Will you please teach me my verse, nam
ma, and then kiss me, and bid me good night p
said little Roger L., as he opened the door
peeped cautiously into the chamber of his sicl
mother. 81 am very sleepy, but nobody has
heard me say my prayers"
Mrs. L - was very ill-indeed her atten
dants believed her to be dying. She sat prop
ped up with pillows, and smuggling for breath
her lips were white, her eyes were growing dull
and glazed.
She was widow, and little Roger was hel
only-her darling child. Every night he hat

she repeated passages from Gods holy word, OF
repeated to him stories Of good and wise mel
spoken of in its pages. .........
Hush" said the lady who was watching be
side he couch, Your mother is too ill to hea
you tonight" .......
As she said this, she came forward, and lait
her hand gently on his arm, as il she would
lead him from the room. Roger began to sob
as if his heart would break,
81 cannot go to bed without saying my pray
ers-indeed cannot"
The ear of the dying mother caught the sound
Although she had been nearly insensible to ev-
erything transporting around her, the sob Of her
darling aroused her slupor, and turning to a
friend she desired her to bring her little son and
lay him on her bosom. Her request was grant
ed, and the child's rosy cheek and golden hail
nestled beside the cold cheek of the dying
mother.
Roger, my son, my darling child," said the
dying mother, "repeat this verse after me, ant
never, never forget it: When my father an,
mother forsakc me, the Lord will take me up.
The child repeated 1.-two or three times distinct
ly and said his little PRAYER. Then he kisse
the cold and almost rigid features before hin
and went quietly to his couch. The next morn
ing he sought, as usual, his mother, but foun
her stiff and cold.
This was her last lesson. He has never fol
gotten it-he probably never will. He ha

Nnapsacks packed ready for move. Ten miles

Keep the Heart Alive,

There words of Bernard Barton are good.
Often good and wise men in other things have
rendered their old age cheerless and unlovely
from want of attention to them.
"The longer live, the more expedient
find it to endeavor more and more to extend my
sympathies and affections. The natural tenden.
cy of advancing years, is to narrow and con-
tract these feelings. do not mean that wish
to contract new and sworn friendship every
day, to increase my circle Of intimates these
are very different affairs. But find it condu-
ces to my mental health and happiness, to find
out all that is amable and lovely in'those come
in contact with, and to make the most of it. II
may iall very far short of what was once wont
to dream of it may not supply the place of wha
have known, felt, and tasted but 1t is better
than nothing-it seems to keep the feelings ant
affections in exercise-t keeps the heart alive
In Its hunanity-and till we shall be all spiritu
al this Is alike our duty and our interest"

can be sweeter than civil peace what Judgment
more heavy than that of the sword? Yet, o
Savior, there Is peace, which thou dischimest
and there is a sword, which thou chaengest to
bring: peace with our corruptions, is war against
thee and that war in our bosoms, wherein the
Spirit fghteth against the Flesh, is peace will
thee. o, let thy Good Spirit raise and fomen
this holy and intestine war, more and more, with
in me. And, as for my outward spiritual enc
mics, how can there be q victory, without war
and how can hope for a crown, without vcto

Speak kindly 10 each other,
Speak with all-loving kindness;
And remember that thy brother
Sees hest thy own deep blindness.
All sometime are In error,
And some are faulty often
Speak kindly TO each oiher,-
For harsh words cannot soften.
Speak kindly and forgiving,
For words in anger spoken
Forever :aey arc living
When tender ties are broken.
Speak kindly to Thy neighbor
He sees not his own kindness;
Speak kindly-for God labor,
Do thy duty duty with all meekness,
Speak kindly to the stranger,
When e'er thou chance to meet him;

May be likened unto him.
Speak kindly full of sorrow
Are the hearts of many Others;
Aid them, cheer them, for Tomorrow
Thou may'st need it from thy brothers.

Can we, poor and erring mortals,
