As we weep Ger this grass-covered mound,
Beneath which reposes thy dear clay

And as often | kiss one by one.

Grape Culture.

Mr.. f. X. Phoenix, in speaking Of
growing grapes near water, says in
thci Ohio Farmer:
Most OF the vines are planted
along the water, say two feet from
the stream-three or four are close
around the spring, water of course
underneath, and the soil constantly
trodden. All tho vines have con.
slant stream running past, and most
OF the roots under water! One oil
the vines in particular, is surrounded
with water, and no root can reach
dry ground except by passing thro'
that saturated ground at least fifteen
or twenty feet. That vine which is
the most under water has the largest
punches, aud is the most healthy ol
all-if there be any difference where
all seem healthy-no mildew or rot
on them. The same man has some
vines on dry ground, and pretty
much used up by the mildew. should
have added that tho soil is sandy,
gravelly, or rocky mixture, covered
with heavy grass; sod that has ney.
er been disturbed by plow or spade
and the sole cultivation it gets is to
NOW off the grass two or three
times annually.

Teach Your Boy a Trade.

Very few native born citizens arc
taught trades. They attend school
until they are old enough to enter .

and, whether possessed of any of the
requisite qualifications for the posi-
tion chosen or no, they must follow
the course planned out for them. In
some cases they are totally unified
for their calling, aud resort to trick
cry aud stoop 10 anything that will
secure them liylihood. Many are
the sons Of men who are working at
the bench, but who. thought beliey.
ing that to learn q trade was enough
for them, consider a similar occupa.
ton too low for their children. The
result is that there arc comparatively
few apprentices, and Of those who
enter tho workshop, not one-hall
master the trade.
A Philadelphia paper, speaking O
this matter, said that there are now
within the corporate limits Of thil
city 5000 manufactures and work
shops, in which are employed 92,1
journeymen and only $500 appren
tices, not more than one in twent,
Of tho latter being regularly linden

But the opposition to boys beoom.
ing mechanics is not confined to par.
ents alone. Trade societies inter.

who would be glad to entor the

should quit claim to the Government

al WOULD EAT soMe OYSTERS. !

There Is weird story of an oyster
eater, which still floats around tb,
wharves at Baltimore, where oyster
boats do congregate. Ono morning
twas years ago, the sloop Martha May
came from some oyster bed OH the Ches
apeake, lad-u gunnel deep with primo
oysters, and was moored safely along
side of IL Baltimore wharf. The skipper
pleased with the prospects of the voy.
age, lounged on the wharf, awaiting g
customer
There came to this captain lean,
lank, and sallow- aced man, who said,
with a cayernous voice, Il would cut
some oysters"
Plenty on board. there!" was the
bluff reply.
But would pay for what / cat, -
interposed the stranger.
:" All right, go aboard; eat your gil
for quarter, !" cheerily replied the skip
per, for in those early times oysters
were worth not more than fifteen cents
bushel.
" Willingly, said the thin man, pro-
ducing with alacrity the old Spanish
quarter with the pillars on it, the coin
of that time, and drawing large, rusty
oyster knife from his pocket. Then the
thin man opened the hatch of the little
vessel and Owed below.
Tho captain went to his breakfast.
The meal over, he returned to his sloop.
Below he heard the measured click of
an oyster knife. He thought little about
it, only said, He has O good appetite
Oysters were not rapid of sale tina day,
as two more oyster smacks had come in,
and purchasers were slack. Makes no
mBtter, " said the captain; 'the weather
is cold, them oysters is sound, and they
will keep in prime order for week. "
That captain went to dinner. Again
he paced his little vessels deck, and
still he heard the monotonous, incessant
s. click, ," click, from below, working
away with mechanical regularity. An
xiously, then, That captain strobe along,
and was full of fear. As the sun set,
still the click of the oyster knife was
heard. In terror the captain fed from
his smack. Next morning early, as he
approached the wharf, still his atfrigh--
ed ear heard the click. He could stand
it no longer. Rushing below, scatter
ing aside whole heaps OF empty shells,
he found the lean, lank, and cadaverous
man still opening away at the very bot
tom OF the vessel
"They are good" said the cadaver-
Gus man, swallowing with artistic firt a
singularly large oyster, but scarce as
salty as l like 'em eff / had had crack
,er, or just dash on vinegar, mebbe 1
might have eugyed 'em moro. See
here, Capting, it's just q case of knife
with me. This ere oyster knife, )" and
he held mp the attsnuated blade, worn
new to the size of q pen knife, wasn't
good steel, or l might have had my
ill, and saying this he slowly and dc
iiberately climbe up the hatchway, and
still iank and lean disappeared in the
distance.
