HOW RAISlNS ARE PREPARED.

A strip of land bordering the Medit-
erranean, somewhat less than 100 miles
in length and in width not exceeding
or 6, is the raisin producing territory of
Spain. Beyond these boundaries the
Muscatel grape, from which the raisin is
principally produced, may grow and
thrive abundantly, but the fruit must &c
to the market or the wine press. When
the grapes begin to ripen in August the
farmer carefully inspects the fruit as 1t
lies on the warm dry soil, and one by
one clips the clusters as they reach per-
fection. In almost all vine yards slants
of masonry are prepared, looking like
unglazed hot beds, and covered with fine
pebbles, on which the fruit is exposed to
dry. But the small proprietor prefers
not to carry his grapes SO far. 1t is
better, he thinks, to deposit them nearer
at hand, where there is less danger Of
bruising, and where bees and wasps are
less likely to find them. Day by day
the cut branches are examined and turn
ed, till they are sufficiently cured to be
borne to the house, usually on the hill
top, and there deposited in the empty
wine press, till enough have been collect
ed for the trimmers and packers to be-
gin their work. At this stage great
piles of rough dried raisins are brought
forth from the wine press and heaped up
on boards. One by one the lunches are
carefully inspected, those Of the first
quality being trimmed of all irregular
tiles and imperfect berries and deposited
in piles by themselves; SO in turn are
treated those of the second quality, while
the clippings and inferior fruit are re-
ceived into baskets at the feet of the
trimmers and reserved for home con-
sumption. A quantity of small wooden
trays are new brought forward, just the
size of common raisin box, and about
an inch deep. In these papers are neat
ly laid SO as to lap over and cover the
raisins evenly deposited in the trays,
which are then subjected to heavy pres
sure in rude press. After pressing,
the raisins are dropped in the boxes for
market.-.Scientitc american.

COMPANIONS ON THE ROAD.

Life's milestones. marking year on year,
Pass eveE,swifter as we near
The final goal, the silent end
To which our fated footsteps tend.
A year once seemed a century.
Now like day it hurries by,
And doubts and fears our hearts oppress,
And all the way is WEAKNESS.
All mel how glad and gay we were,
Youths sap in all our veins astir.
When long ago with spirits high,
A happy careless company,
We started forth. when everything
Wore the green glory of the Spring.
And all the fair wide world was ours,
To gather as we would its flowersI
Then, Life almost eternal seemed
And Death dream so vaguely dreamed,
That IN the distance scarce it threw
A cloud-shade on the mountains blue,
That rose before US soft and fair,
Clothed in ideal hues of air,
To which we meant in after-time,
Strong in our manhood's strength. to climb.
How all has changedl Years have gone by,
And of that joyous company
With whom our youth first journeyed on,
Who-who are left? Alas, not one!
Love earliest loitered on the way.
Then turned his face and slipped away;
And after him with footsteps light
The tickle Graces took their flight.
And all the careless joys that lent
Their revelry and merriment
Grew silenter, and ere we knew
Had smiled their last and said "adieu."
Hope faltering then with doubtful mind,
Began to turn and look behind,
And, we, half questioning, were fain
To follow with her back again;
But Fate still urged us on our way
And would not let us pause or stay.
Then to our side with plaintive eye,
In place Of Hope came Memory
And murmured of the Past, and told
Dear stories Of the days of old,
Until its very dross seemed gold,
And Friendship took the place of Love,
And strove in vain to US to prove
That Love was light and insincere-
Not worth mans regretful tear.
Ali all in vain-grant twas cheat,
Yet no voice ever was so sweet
No presence like to Loves. who threw
Enchantment over all we knew;
And still we listen with sigh,
And back, with fond tears in the eye,
We gaze to catch a glimpse againl
OF that dear place-but all in vain.
Preach not, o stern Philosophy
Nought we can have, and nought we see
Will ever be SO pure, so glad.
So beautiful, as what we had.
Our steps are sad-our steps are slow
Nothing is like the long ago.
Gone is the keen, intense delight
The perfume faint and exquisite
The glory and the effiuence
That haloed the enraptured sense.
When Faith and Love were at our side,
And common life was deifed.
Our shadows that we used to throw
Behind us, now before US grow;
For once we walked toward the sun,
But now, Life's full meridian done,
They change. and in their chill we move,
Further away from Faith and Love.
A chill is in the air--no more
Our thoughts with joyous impulse soar,
But creep along the level way,
Waiting the closing of the day.
The future holds no wondrous prize
This side deaths awful mysteries;
Beyond, what waits for us, who knows?
New life, or infinite repose?

Patagonia isn't avery attractive country.
Its climate is of the coldest, its men OF
the tallest, and its women of the ugliest
specimens Of the human race. Its mice
are likewise gigantic. and the natives
display an ineradicable propensity to

destined to become very important, IN

gold therein. From the Cordilleras to

that self interest points out to the Amer
leans, and to all other nations similarly
situated, that their aim should be to
absorb and assimilate the inferior
races with which they are brought into
contact, to fuse the different bloods in
to one, and become as SOC as possible
a united, homogeneous people. Let
this course nee be recognized as what
true patriotism dictates, and the social
bars, the miserable caste prejudices and
distinctions, which at present keep the
races apart, would rapidly disappear.
Mixed marriages would become as COM
mon as are now mixed unions of a less
moral kind; the white blood, which is
to the black as nine to one, would in
each generation more and more FREEDOM
mate; and before a century was over
only the skilled Psychologist might be
able to perceive the existence OF a mig
-itic element in the composite nation.

FAR seeing and conscientious south
erners-and their name is few-clearly
understand the force of events, and cry
out: "Would that this too, too, solid
south would melt, and resolve itself to
common sense" On the other hand,
republican leaders welcome a solid south
as the best means of maintaining re-
publican ascendancy. Many public
spirited men in both the democratic
and greenback parties will rally around
that party which alone, of all parties,
commended successfully against a solid
south. Menace is a good campaign
