PRESERVING GRAPEs-Chas. Camp
bell, of Aurora, Cayuga county, New
York, communicates to the American
Agriculturist the following method OF
preserving grapes: "When they are
fully ripe, suspend basket by strap
Or cord passed around the neck, thereby
giving liberty to both hands for picking;
with one hand hold the cluster and with
the other cut it from the vine remove
from the cluster all unripe or decayed
fruit, and deposit them in the basket
until it is filled. q use a market basket
that will hold about half bushel. J
Garry the grapes thus gathered to the
place for packing. use boxes about
two feet square by six inches deep in the
clear, with covers made to shut tight
In packing lay newspaper On the bot
tom of the box, then a layer of grapes,
then paper and second layer of grapes,
which when closely packed, usually fills
the box; set it in some dry and airy place
with the cover off, and let the box re-
main open for ten days, or until the
sweating process is passed; then close
the box and set it in the front room, eel
lar or garnet, any place where they will
not freeze, or which is not extremely
damp.
Grapes packed as above directed, will
open at any time during the winter or
spring following as fresh as when packed.
The only secret or mystery is, that the
moisture which spoi]s the fruit when
packed in saw-dust and other absorb
ents, passes off during the ten days that
the box remains open, instead of being
absorbed, and ultimately moulds and
spoils them. So perfect has been my
success that l have more confidence in
the preservation of the grape than any
other fruit | use shallow boxes for
packing grapes, that the moisture may
more readily escape and that the first
layer in the bottom may not be crushed
by the weight above.
~ A correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury, who visited the Africans
on the brig Echo, thus shows up the
horrors of the middle passage: The ef-
feet was very startling when you saw
them squatting on their launches, with
their knees drawn up behind their ell
lows, in an attitude common to apes
and baboons, but Which no human frame
clothed in flesh can obtain. Some when
sitting and told to rise did so with great
difficulty, and moved with step as tot
tering as l ever saw after illness. The
very head seemed but a skull encased
in black covering. 1t is common to
speak of a man being reduced to skin
and bone, but one who saw these can
scarcely use the expression again. But
if this is to be said of those compare
lively in health, what language can de-
scribe the sick -

"NOBODY CARES"


Nobody cares'' the maiden sighed,
"a world of borrowings betide-
My heart is sad-old friends have flown,
And l am standing all alone
While Ger the future, like pail,
Vague, underlined forebodings fall.''
Nobody cares!' the orphan cried
Nobody loves since mother died,
And ever since that fearful day
When strangers bore her form away
Nobody has her child caressed,
Or tenderly kiss impressed"
Nobody cares !'-hopes dying knell,
From widowed1ips the accents fell
Nobody caresr' the words though brief.
Were oh SO passing full of grief
The present loaded down with fears.
Took addedweight from future years:
Nobody cares y the strong man said,
And signing wept and bowed his head
Of those for whom he wrought and cared,
Not one dear, loving, heart was spared,
And fresh misfortunes brought to mind
The. images his heart enshrined
'Nobody cares l'' it trembling came,
This time from age-wth tottering frame,
The hopes which once his bosom fired,
By sorrows quenched long since expired
His generation passed away,
And he impatient of delay.
And oftentimes the soul distressed,
By rksome toll and duties pressed
As struggling onward, day by day,
To temptings oft an easy prey
While all the world sad aspect wears,
Is prone to think Nobody cares
Oh, ye who struggle !-ye who toll
Through scenes of sorrow and turmoil
When fortune frowns, and friends forsake,
And disappontmentso on you wait
Know We not one viii list your prayers
One who, for e'en the sparrow cares2

CLAY FOR FooD.-In some parts of
South America according to the testimo-
ny of credible travellers, such as Hum.
boldt, Gromilla. Spix, Martius and
Molina, the natives eat clay for food, Ell.
ther from necessity or choice. Accord
ing to the great Prussian philosopher
and traveller, the Ottomac Indians in the
Orinoco valley, during the periods of
heavy floods, subsist entirely on a fat
and ferruginous clay. The Indians of
the Amazon region eat kind of loan,
even though other food be abundant.
According to Molina, the Peruvian tribes
eat sweet-smelling clay. An edible
clay is sold in the markets of Bolivia,
which upon analysis proves to be tsle
and niua. The inhabitants of sonrs
parts of Guiana mingle clay with their
food, and the negroes of the island of
Jamaica feed upon earth when otherf food
is deficient. The natives of New Gale
donia, an island of the Australian group,
satisfy hunger with white, friable earth
composed of magnesia, silica, oxide of
iron, and chalk. Clay-eaters are also
found in Siam, in Siberia and in KANT
schatka, and in our own country. In
the interior of North Carolina, where
food of different description is easily
attainable. there are many persons, men,
women and children, who make a prac-
tice of eating clay. This singular habit
amounts to an infatua!ion with them.
Notwithstanding its deleterious effects,
They have a cadaverous, bloodless look
are lank and weakly, with hair, lips and
skin of a watery color, and protruding
bellies. The little children in summer,
running naked through the pine woods.
have pramaturely old look, and appear
as tn ough their crops were stuffed out
with clay. The whole race of these
clay-eaters are listless, drawing set,
deficient in enterprise, and of very small
intellectual power. What POSSESSES
them to indulge in this strange habit, it
is impossible to conceive they are SO
devoted to it that they cannot leave it
off.

Order Upon the Farm.

1t has been very correctly said that order
or method is the secret success Of many
wealthy men Of the mercantile class. the
above being true, the rule is equally appli-
cable to the farming Classes. What We
mean ty order is ga place for everything,
and everything in its place." BY every
thing, we mean all that a farmer uses in
his business. A farmer should see that every
rail and board aboul his premises is in its
proper place; that his fences are in condit-
ion TO prevent the entrance or exit OF his
own or other peoples cattle without his
consent. Every one who neglects this, ne
elects his peace Of mind, as wei. as subjects
himself TO losses that must be repaired by
means that could have been otherwise PROF.

should be kept near his dwelling, that no

are out of order. Many persons will say
that they cannot find time to do all these
things. Stop, dear reader: | know yon can

Application Of Steam to the Elec-
tTical Telegraph.

Mr. isham Bags, a gentleman whose
name has been intimately connected with
the progress Of electrical science, has recent
ly invented an instrument whereby the SLOW
ness Of the operation Of working the cleo
trical Geographic signals will be removed.
At present although a signal is rapidly
pressed forward by the electrical current. a
d ficuiiy lies in the ~slowness with which
the signals are formed, and thus it is al the
signal station that the delay arises, as only
a certain number of words can be formed
in a given time. The instrument inventeS
by Mr. Baggs substitutes steam Pnwar
for the ordinary manual labor in framing
the signals. and great saving of time and
tlso Of expense will be the effect, as a
greater number of messages, and messages
Of greater length can be despatched, and.
therefore,, q less charge i'll The price will be
renlunerative than a higher one would be
for the slower process. By means of this
new instrument, any number of clerks NAV
be employed TO work on a message, which
is to be-ss it were-set up in y pc. The
plan is to have a series Of gutta percha
bands rolled round appropriate Wheels.
These bands are studded with hoes, into
which the clerks in,ert brass pins, variously
combining theu in wOs, threes, &C., &C.
cording TO the letters 10 be sent; and the
gusta percha bands, when full of signals,
will be passed rapidly by means of steam
machinery, in such a name that as each
pin passes i. forms Z metallic c%ommunica-
ton between the instrument and the wire,
and u signal is consequently transmitted.
There is hardly any limit to the rapidiiy al
which the signal bands can be put through
the instrument, each pin only forming cleo
tricul contact for the bundreth part Of {,
second, which will be amply sufficient to
e gister a CORES ponding signal at the other
end OF the circuit. A company is, We be-
lieve, in process of formation to carry out
the invention. The application this Inve =
tion TO the Atlantic submarine telegraph,
will add immensely to the value Of that
undertaking; and in all cases telegraphic
uesssges may be sent almost at the same
length and with the same accuracy as writ
ten despatches.-The Observer.
