a DECCAN HUNTING SONG.

The boar, the mighty boar's Try theme,
Whate'cr the wise may say,
My morning thought, my midnight dream,
My hope throughout the day
Then sing the boar, the mighty boar,
Fill high the cup with NE,
And here's to oil who fear no fall,
And the next gray bear we see.
Youths daring spirit, Tanhood's fire,
Stout heart and eagle eye,
Doth he require who would aspire
To see the wild boar die.
Then sing the boar, the mighty boar,
Fill high the cup with me,
And here's to all who fear no fall,
And the next cray boar we see.
We envy not the rich their wealth,
Nor kings their crowned career:
The saddle is our throne Of health,
Our scepter is the spear;
Nor envy We the warriors pride,
Deep stained with purple gore.
For our field Of fame's the jlmgle's side,
Oar foe the grim gray boar.
When age hath weakened manhood 8 powers,
And every nerve Embraced,
The joys OF youth shall still be ours,
On memory's tablets traced;
And with the friends whom death hatE spared,
When youths bright course is run,
Wen tell the dangers we have shared
And the spears that we have won.

ton OF the Wine.
The manufacture of wine from dry raisins
has since the invasion of the French vine
yards by the phylloxera made wonderful
progress, for while ten years ago, when only
| required for table purposes, tho importers of
raisins and currants did not exceed COCO or
1000 tons year. the total for the last three
or four years has averaged G5,030 tons, this
being considered equivalent to 10000 tons
Of fresh grapes. The greater part of these
raisins and currarts came from Turkey ard
Greece, IS Spain and Italy, the only other
countries which export them, send but 1900
or 5000 tors of the whole. English ship
owners have secured part of this carrying
trade, and n considerable quantity OF the
raisins from Greece and Turkey reach France
via London. The raisins which are sent to
Marseilles from Asia Minor are of the back
varieties, but the Corinth raisins, which are
known in England as "currants, are the best,
as they do not contain any pips, while the
crop is so large that it often reaches nearly q
ton per acre.
The mode Of drying the fruit varies very
much, for in Turkey ard Greece the punches
of grapes ere simply laid on the ground and
the sun is allowed to dry them. They are
then scooped up with shovel, TO pains being
taken to remove the sand and gravel which
has accumulated. In Spain the punches are
not exposed to the air until they have been
passed through boiling water mixed with
ashes, this being The method in special favor at
Malaga In many vineyards Of the Greek
archipelago the grapes are allowed to dry up
on the vine, after the end of the stem has

ing. The average price Of these raisins is I've
cents per pound, and the duty is only sixty
two cents per 100 in France
The preparation OF the wine made from
these raisins is not g. ali an elaborate bllsi-
ness. for, rs NJ Boussingault points out in a
recent report to the minister OF agriculture,
ell tha, is necessary is to put the raisins into
vat filed with water ct temperature Of
6S degrees Fahrenheit, there being fifty
five gallons of water to every hundred

Is sometimes added to quicken the fermanta-
ton This fermentation soon occurs, and
