How to keep Grapes.

A correspondent of the Central
Union Agriculturist gives the fol-
lowing rules for grapes.
Place the fruit where it will be
neither too dry nor too moist, too
warm nor too cold.
As to temperature the nearer freez-
ing the better, so long as it is above
freezing.
Too much moisture will breed
mold and spoil the flavor of those
that do not rot. Contact with de
cayed or broken grapes will spoil
the berries they touch. ..-n r.
Too much warmth, if air is not
excluded, will dry the fruit, and
make raisins if the fruit Is good
enough. If the air is excluded the
fruit will spoil if too warm.
Hence we infer that grapes to keep
should not be packed.
Put up the fresh clusters in box
es, two or three layers deep, upon
Gotten, paper or grape leaves be-
tween layers. Light wood boxes
are the best. Let the size be gov
erned by your taste. If for mar
keting, use those that will hold from
two to four pounds.
In handling the clusters, touch
the stem only. Contact with the
hand takes Of the bloom; besides,
there is danger of bruising. Han
die carefully. The boxes ought to
be covered.
People have been taught to wax
the end of the stem. There is lit
tie use in this. If your grapes are
of variety that will keep well. the
peduncle lays fast hold on the pulp,
and tits kept fresh by the grape.
A little drying of the fruit causes
the peduncle to wither and break
from the berry. Grapes separated
from the cluster soon decay.
The Hartford often "drops from
the stem" in gathering. With the
best care it can be kept fresh but a
very short time after gathering.
The Concord is but very lettle
better. til hHQ HgH' H.gEHHa
Observe, if when you draw ber-
ry from the cluster, it brings out
the peduncle from the centre, it
promises to keep well. Tenacity to
the stem is your criterian. The
stronger the hold of the berry the
better it will keep.
Then, for keeping, tough skin
is necessary.

Beecher on Death.

I must, to discourse to you upon
the subject of Death (said the Rev.
Mr.. Beecher,) feel with you the nat
ural repugnance of topic SO disa-
greeable. Men do not like to think
of anything SO oppressive, and it
may be thought strange that a prop
er consideration of what is consid-
cred, will have a tendency to enrich
life, and make it full and complete.
The transmutation Of the features,
the slow decay, is trouble to contem
plate, 30 that to me it is disagreea-
BILE to harp upon the dead. 1t is
thought well to imagine how We will
fall when dying. In olden times
they used to have skeleton hung
before them, to remind them of death,
to rebuke pride, and lead them to
forget worldliness. 1 don't wonder
the young turn away from such a
scene as that. These things are un-
wholesome, they pollute the sweet
breath of hope. Dying is changing
from, changing position. Passing
out from lower to higher posi-
tion. Is the spreading of the wings
which had been unfolded before. 1t
is crowning men giving them the
sceptre. 1t is not coffins and decay
ing bones we are to think of. There
are men who believe they are made
better by spending whole days in
sepulchres. Yes! if worms are
mems best priests; when l think Of
death 1 think of immortality. /
think lam here for time of growth
and when I am called away l enter
into another state of being. So let
me take account with myself how
my work is being done. What is
done and what is neglected. A
wise contemplation of our stay here
will tend to make a man more faith
full in the performance of his duties.
We are not mere atoms floating in
the air. We are here for some pur
pose. And we know that we are in
a universe placed here by God to
perfect ourselves. When men go
abroad to visit France and England,
do you suppose because they spend
but short time in each city that it
takes away their interest from that
city? And because we are to stay
here but short time, is that any
reason why we should take no in
terest in our stay here? 1t rather
intensifies the. interests, or should
do SO. Men who have no thought
Of dying, let their affairs go loosely.
In youth, in middle life, and even
in old age, men have the opinion
that they will never die. And SO
we train ourselves that there is end
less time for us to prepare ourselves,
SO that when men come to die they
are seldom prepared, even in their
economical affairs, to leave. just
think what is the condition of our
debts if we should die? What are
your plans?

Very humble and quiet and poor
was my life, and so was His, the
carpenters son. If the Bible did
not tell us Jesus was poor, 1 should
have known it from His own words.
Who would have talked about put
ting new pieces upon old garments,
or about sweeping the house dill
gently, if he had not seen his moth
er doing it? So, while 1 was busy
over these things, and a hundred
household works like them, 1 knew
that He knew exactly all about them,
and that made them sweet to me-

POISONED TO DEATH-A healthy liver
secretes each day about two and a halfpounds
of bile, which contains great amount of
waste material taken from the blood. When
the liver becomes torpid or congcsted, it fails
to climate this vast amount of noxious. SUBJ
stance, which, therefore remains to poison
the blood and le conveyed to every part of
the system What must be the condition Of
the blood when it is receiving and retaining
each day two and half pounds of poison !?
Nature tries to work off this poison through
other channels and organs-the kidneys,
lungs, skin. etc.; but these organs become
overtaxed in performing this labor, in addi-.
ton to their natural functions, and cannot
long withstand the pressure, but become
variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
centre of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to it from
the heart, and it fails to perform its office
healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning, which are dullness, headache, in
capacity to keep the mind on any subject,
impairment of memory: dizzy, sleepy, or
nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings and ir-
ritaLility Of temper. The blood itself being
diseased as it forms the sweat upon the SUR
face of the skin, it is so irritating and poison

pimples, blotches an other eruptlons, sores,
boils, carbuncles and scrofulcles tumors.
The stomach, boHcls and other organs spok-
en- of, cannot escape becoming affected soon,
or or later, and costiveness, piles, dropsy,

many other forms of fchropic disease, arc among

In every Quarter of the Globe where it is
known, and there are few indeed where it is
not, the Mexican Mustang Linimcnt takes
precedence of all similar preparations. Its
trausccndant merits have obtained for it a
popularity seldom reached by any proprietary
medicine. In its infancy the fiat of its sue
cess was pronounced in the widespread en-
dorsenlcnt which it received from physicians
veterinary surgeons: horscmen and the pub bic
generally. No one now thinks of question
inc its claim to be considered the Standard
Linimcnt Of America.
