oporto Vineyards,


We pass pretty villas and more stately
palaces on the waters edge, for 0porto is
behind us now, and we are rowing up be-
tween vine-terraced banks toward the fa-
nous port vineyards. They are too far
away for us to reach them tonight, but
somewhere farther up this wild river the
grapes are growing hot in the Quinta do
Vesuvio. We heard the resonant blows of
the coopers as we walked through the
streets of Oporto, beating down the strong
iron hoops that are to girdle ribs Of oak
and heart of FIRE; and if we should follow
far enough that schooner of casks, we would
reach the Alto Douro, and find ourselves
surrounded on all sides by
'sThe vine boys. the vine.
A r0amer is she
Ger wall and tree.
And sometimes very good company.
Such visit in the time of the vintage,
when the peasants troop down the terraces
bearing upoH their heads baskets overflow
ing with the purple clusters, would be well
worth the trouble; but now we viii row
down the river instead, and landing at Villa
Nova de Gaia, visit the warehouses Of the
wine-merehants, where we win find port Of
any required date ripening and changing
from dark red tothe brown maddar esteemed
by amateurs. Here, too, we viii find the
white wines Dedo de Dana, or lady's finger,
and Muscatel de Jesus. We are accus-
toned to think of port-wine as the una
dulterated, Simoa-pure blood of the grape.
1t may, therefore, shock us a little to find
that elderberries and prune syrup are added
togivei the dark color which the English de-
mand; molasses and alcohol to add sweet
ness and dryness; and that It Is considered
a perfectly legitimate process to add dash
of vitriol to cut the germ of decay existing
in such rich, fruity wine, and to enable It
to cross the ocean without spelling. The
information is disenchanting; ii is like
glimpse at Cette, near Marseilles, where
any desired wine is manufactured to order,
with the appropriate tint, favor, bouquet,
and counterfeited label, correct stamp ON
the inside Of the cork, and cobwebs ON the
exterior, and all 50 cleverly as to deceive a
eonnoisseur, From Forty to fifty thousand
pipes Of pert-wine are annually exported
frGm 0porto, and over two-thirds of this
goes to England. Harper Magazine.

By REV. GEORGE STEWART, GLASGOW.
Silently, silently comes the light
Edging the clouds with gold =;
Clearing the pages of natures book
Over which darkness rolled;
Making no boast of the work it does,
Chasing the mist away;
Opening millions ofeyes to read
Turning the night to day.
Silently. silently weaves the cold
Beautiful fakes of snow,
Noiselessly throwing its perfect robe
Over the seed below;
Making no boast of the work it does,
Guarding from frosty blast
Costliest seed for the harvest days
Husbandmen freely cast.
Silently, silently falls the dew,
Bathing the evening flowers;
Making no boast of the work it does
During the silent hours;
Beautiful pearls with their rainbow hues
Shine in the rising sun,
Quietly telling of kindly deeds
Even in darkness done.
Silently, silently flows the stream,
Onward through wood and glen
Bearing lis boon oflife and JOY
Down 10 the homes Of men; -
symbol Of quiet and useful life,
Noiseless its waters glide;
over Il gratefully spread the trees,
Branches on either side.
silently, silently breathe the flowers
Fragrance through morning air,
Speaking to men ofthe Fathers love
Proving His tender care:
ModeStly asking us. where's your faith.
Since He has said to You,
lie who can care for the lilies fair
cares for His children too"
Silently, silently angels come,
Tending US through the day
Nolseless watching around the couch
Where We have knelt TO pray;
Sent by the Lord of the seraphim,
Down from the golden street,
Moving unsoiled through our sinful world,
swiftly with noiselesS feet.

IT has been suggested that one of the
members of the Tariff Commission
should be a representative of American
labor, and if it pleases the President to
make a selection from acknowledgment,
the appointment Of JOHN JARRETT,
President of the Amalgamated AssOeia-
ton of Iron and Steel Workers, will be
urged. JARRETT is the head of the
largest labor organization in the United
States, and he is thoroughly informed
about the interests of American labor.
We beg to be excused for adding that
no laboring man, it must be remem.
bered that he worked at pudding fur
mace up TO the evening prior to his ac-
eeptance of the present position on jan
uary s, 1850, in the United States, is
more thoroughly posted on the wants of
labor than JOHN JARRETT. That he
would cope with ID. A. WELLS or any
one else that President ARTHURmay Sc
lect as Commissioners, We have not the
least fear. President ARTHUR could
make no better selection as the repre-
sentative of labor on the Tariff Com
mission than Mr.. JARRETT. The Re-
publican party owes its political life to
labor, and the latter should be recog-

NATIONAL CONFEDERATION FOR
OAR AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS.

II is fitting that West Nirginia's rep
resentatives in the Senate and House of
Representatives should become the pat
rons of the important measure eoustitu-
ting the Agricultural Department one
of the executive departments Of the
Governments.
Senator DAVIS was the author of the
first bill on the subject, and it was his
bill, substantially, that was offered by
Mr.. KENNA in the House, and would
have passed, perhaps, but for the UNI
fortunate advocacy of Mr.. REAGAN,
who associated it with his famous rail-
road measure. But bill which does,at
least, establish the department, has
passed the House by an overwhelming
majority-Only seven votes being re-
corded against it-and this unanimity
in the House gives fair promise of IA
vOrable action in the Senate.
West Virginia, like all other agricul-
tural States, has great interest in such
measure. 1t will give new dignity
and importance to the agricultural in-
terests of the whole country, and this,
after all, is the chief business interest of
the nation. 1t is, therefore, entitled TO
such legislative recognition as its vast
importance suggests. Its usefulness as
at present constituted, is rapidly adj
vancing and with the enlarged scope Of
operations proposed by the bill, it must
become of eorrespOndingly greater and
more widely diffGsed utility to the ma
terial welfare of the country.
1t has become fashionable among GER
tain classes of self-important statesmen
who happen to hail from the city dis
tricts-but who would hardly have sue
ceeded to the post of Congressman from
the rural deestrictsn-tO sneer at all
measures which look to the elevation of
the farming classes and farming inter-
ests in the Government. They have
great contempt for the 'garden-seed
department." as it now exists and eN-
pend much wit in trying to belittle its
operations and depreeiate its import
anee. But broader craftsmanship is
beginning to recognize not only the
value but the necessity of giving to
this subject the consideration
which its near relation to the
welfare of the whole country deserves.
1t has heretofore not had such consider
alton. The country's vast agricultural
possibilities have not been reached. A

To admit that parents, who care little for
the comfort or education Of their chill

seem to some an admission Of very de-
graded condition of society, but no earthly
paradise will be exempt from thorns and
sin, and no society can afford to let the
thorns grow up to the detriment of flowers
and good fruit. Surely the dumb brute at
least should be protected from the reckless,
passionate man-brute who beats and bruises
his animal for the lack of sense. Who will
be the first to organize such society in
