TABLE GRAPEs.-There is a great
difference between fully ripe grape anC
one that only has the appearance of being
ripe. As general thing, grapes are
plucked too soon. The lunches should
hang on the vines until the stems have
began to shrink. Then the juices have
become sacchaline, and whatever peculiar
iayor the grape may possess will be fully
developed. There is serious difficulty,
however in the way a fully ripe grape
has so many lovers, beyond the bped
family, that il is a difficult matter to pre-
serve them on the vine. They seem to be
the natural food of birds, and then the
bugs, and Wasps, and ants, and every
thing else that crawl or creep or fly, will
feed upon perfectly ripe grape. Hence
the advantages of grape houses, but in the
absence of houses bags may be made of
cheap gou2e or thin brown paper, and the
lunches slipped in. The bunch should be
ripe when put in. In this
way they will ripen perfectly, and keep
longer on the vine than any other way
Those who would enjoy the luxury per-
fectIy ripe grapes, will be well repaid for
the trouble Of bagging the lunches.

The following is good, il it is pointed -
What tribuiations sore beset
The man who Office tries TO get;
How he must cringe and double-deaI,
Merely TO earn chance to steal.
What fears and terrors him compass,
IN dread some other wins the race;
And carries off beneath his eye,
What he has pawned bis soul to buy.
Save us, O, Lord, from SANDERS breath,
Battle and murder, sudden death;
But more than all, in mercy great,
Save from the Office seekers fate
