THE DUTcH WITNEss.-Not long since
a steamboat called the old Kentuck blew
up near Trinity, at the mouth of the
Ohio, bv which accident a lady rejoicing
in the name of Mrs. Jones, lost her hus-
band, and also her trunk, and for both of
which an action was brought.
There was, strange TO say, great diff
Guilty in proving that Mr.. Jones was on
the boat at the time of the collapse, that
worthy having been VIGOROUSLY drunk on
the wharfboat just as the steamer left
Trinity. ..,-..
Many witnesses were examined 10 prove
the fact, until finally Mr.. Deitzmar, a
German was placed upon the stand. The
attorney for the boat elected from Mr..
Deitzmar this testimony:
"Mr. Doitzmar, did you know the Old
Kentucky
"Yah, l wash plown ub NIT her."
Were you on board when she collap-

You did? When did you last see
Mr.. Jones on board the boat?'

The attorney fancied his case was safe,
and with most triumphant glance at the
jury, said:

No GLur IN THE FRuIr MARKET

No GLUT IN THE FRUIT MARKET
Some fifteen years or so ago, the predic-
ton was continually made that, in ten
years time, there would be glut in the
fruit market. Nurserymen were advised
to wind up their affairs and get out of
the business in time, or they would soon
have no customers for trees. Farmers
were counseled to refrain from planting
orchards, for il was predicted that even
choice fruit would not sell at good prices.
There was then quite little panic, here
and there. But how has the event prov
ed? Trees have continued to be planted
from that day TO this, and they are all
wanted. Many have died from the neg
lect and carelessness Of orcharJists, and
from the vicissitudes of the seasons
The market for fruit has continued to en-
large. There are millions of mouths TO
be filled now, where, twenty years ago,
there were thousands, and more people
appreciate choice fruit. They have found
out that it is healthy food, ard that it is
cheaper TO pay the apple-mans bill, than
the medcine-man's. Then, too, the for
eign market has been brought to our very
door, within the past fifteen years; il is
now only eight or ten days of, with
an unlimited demand. 1t rarely happens
that apples, our most common Summer
fruit, are so cheap that even every well-to-
do family can afford to use them with
freedom. Abundance in one locality usu-
ally counterbalances scarcity somewhere
else, and prices are generally maintained.
The market g!utted! Send on your
fruit! Plant orchards and take care Of
them. Raise fruit in variety, early and
late. If you are within easy reach Of the
city market, raise the smaller fruits,
strawberries, currants, raspberries, grapes,
cherries, peaches, etc. Before the market
begins to be glutted, we promise to raise
the alarm. American Agriculturist.

The Soldiers Little Daughter.
BY MRS. n. A. DENNISON.

1
The night was stormy, dark and cold;
My way led through tho city,
Where wretcbed buildings grey and old,
Seemed stained with tears of pity.
Few were the cheerful sounds heard,
No laughter wild and free;
But once The sweet voice of bird
Piped up and planned to me.
A little bird unblessed with wings,
Her sad dark eyes all fearful;
All God to see such tender things
Out in the storm is fearful.
And thus she planned "Ohl stranger hear,
| never begged before
But mother has been dead year,
And fathers gone to war.
And yesterday the work gave out
BY which earned penny;
Last night l had a crust of bread;
Tonight have not any.
And ! am very hungry, sir
/ bought her bread-to spare
Then up into the old grey house
Climbed by the broken stair.
A tremulous light threw shadows long
Over the cheerless room;
Oh Cbildhood-shrined in deathcss song
Are such your spots or bloom?
"My name is Nelly Grover, sir;
My father loved me dearly -
And is it true, as people say
That war is endcd-nearIy."
Twas strange, but as she spoke, glanced
10 look my paper over;
And there read-"shot through the heart,
A private; William Grover"
o, awful hour can | forget
Her tears, her broken sobbing-
The little heart pressed to mine
With bitter anguish throbbing
And as the light grew DINNER
And the wild cries fainter fell,
Unto my soul there came a voice,
marked its cadence well
81 sleep beneath the traitors sod
died for liberty;
give my spirit unto God
My little child to thee.
Teach her to hold as sacred trust,
Her patriot fathers doom;
Teach her to pray that from his dust
Freedoms fair flowers may bloom"
Thus to my home, most tenderly,
With loving words brought her;
An only death could tear from mo

An Odd Association.

An Uu0 dSSOCidtlUH. 81
In a small city in France, not
far from Paris, the young ladies
have formed a club to provide
against the horrors Of single life.
Every one knows that in France
no young girl can marry without a
ssdot,' be it small or large. 1t is
an abominable custom, for if a
young girl cannot bring her hus-
band asum of money on marriage,
she is not an eligible partner Tor
life; and If she have no money at
all she cannot buy a husband, I'M
less a rare case of disinterestedness
occurs. 1t is a worse custom for
the poor than the rich, for while
marriages in high life are mere
matters Of speculation, in low life
young girls who, incapable Of earn
ing more than is requisite for their
own meagre existence, are shut out
from amassing a sum sufficient to
secure them an honorable settle
ment in life, become emblttered
with their fate, and are driven to
perfect recklessness and disregard
Iof right. The grand lady and gem
tleman, after the nuptials, become
as distant to each other and as un-
acquainted as before marriage
They tell a story of the Countess
c., who, on being asked how
her husband, the Count. C.,
was, replied: 81 really cannot at
ford you the information you wish,
for though | know the Count G.
well enough to bow to him when
we meet, | cannot exactly say |
have sufficient personal acquaint-
lance with him to permit me to IN
Iquire after his health" But this
is deviating from the young ladies
L commenced telling you OF. They
have formed savings bank, each
female contributing a stated sum
monthly. At the end Of the year
they draw lots, containing only
Ione prize. Whoever draws the
prize takes all the money on condl-
ton that she marries within a year
after drawing the sum. If she
cannot obtain a husband in that
time. she refunds the money; but
if fortune favors her, she must con-
tinue to contribute to the bank for
one year after her marriage as much
as is in her power, for the sake CT
affording to other girls the advan-
tages she has had herself. BY
this admirable arrangement every
young person matrimonially IN
Iclined has an opportunity OF OBJ
tanning a "dot," and per ccnse-
oucnce a husband.

Ladies Curiosity Graliiied.

The war correspondent of the
Charleston Courier tells the follow
ing good one:
Frequently the ladies are in the
habit of visiting the prisoners, but
oltener from curiosity than sympa-
thv. Another incident is told of
an encounter between several OF
them and an Irishman:
It had become a matter of hab.
it with the fair ones to open con.
iversation with the very natural
inquiry, "Where are you woun'
del?" and accordingly when par
ty of three or four the other day
approached our cell, they launched
out in the usual way. Paddy
made believe that he didn't hear
distinctly and replied, ''Pretty
well, / thank yez." "Where were

one of the ladies. Faith, I'm
