MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.

The CRANBERRY TRADE.-The culture of
cranberries upon tie lowlands of New Jersey
has amply rewarded those who embarked in the
business. Scarcely ten years ago the attention
ofagrculturalists was drawn to the Importance of
producing this berry in large quantities. The
market pI1ce was gradually advancing, while the
supply appeared TO be stationary; and the natu-
raj truit, unassisted by art or science became
scarce and costly. Since that time a number of
gentlemen have purchased tracts of low ground
or bog-land, always found at the headwaters of
creeks and rivers especially In Burlington
Ocean, and Monmouth counties. The head
waters of Mullica river dividing Atlantic and
Burlington counties, oversDread many acres of
low land adapted to the cranberry culture. In.
the spring the water is easily drained off, and
very little labor and attention are required to
raise plentiful crop.
Since the construction of the Delaware Bay
and Raritan Railroad, all kinds of fruit have
been more extensively cultiyat ted; and now that
the needed facilities for transportation to Phila-
delphia and New York are completed, this Sec
tlon will become vastly productive. The cram
berry trade, however, is second only to that of
the strawberry; and the different sizes, qualities,
shape, taste, ETC., of the one afford as many
varieties as the other. With the advance of cul-
tivation has come more than proportionate de-
mand. The home consumption is nearly equalled
foreign orders. The great impetus given to the
raising of cranberries originated with the army.
Its acidulous qualities made it as necessary to
the medical as to the culinary department of
the camp, and it became an essential in every
hospital. The cessation of hostilites, it was
feared, would be severe blow to the trade; but
still "cranberries are frm;" and preparations
are being made to devote still larger space of
ground to the business.
The three lower counties of Atlantic, Cape
May, and Cumberland, all we'll watered possess
thousands of acres upon which cranberries can
be grown with profit; and, if we are to judge
from preparations now making, large amount
of labor and capital will be devoted to the busi-
ness the coming season. The headwaters of the
streams in New Jersey seem to be adapted by
nature to the culture of this berry; and, being
less pershable than other fruits it is destined to
become one of the most valuable products of the
State.

The Finest speech Ever made.

The WestminiSter ReUiel1 pronounces
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg speech the
finest that ever fell from human lips
In view of this fact, and that it is even
more pertinent than it ever was, we need
make no apology for re-publishing it, es-
pecially as it takes little space. We give
it below:
"Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal. Now we are engaged
in great civil war, testing whether that
nation, or any nation so conceived or ded-
ieated. can long endure, We are met on
a great battle field of that war. We are
met to dedicate a portion of it as the f.
nal resting place Of those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live
1t is altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this. a -.......
but in a large sense we cannot conse-
crate, we cannot hallow this ground. The
brave men, living and dead, who strug-
gled here, have consecrated it far above
our power to add or detract. The world
will little note or long remember what we
say here, but it can never forget what
they did here 1t is for US, the living,
rather to be dedicated to the unfinished
work that they have thus far so nobly
carried on. 1t is rather for US 10 be ded-
icated to the great task remaining before
us-that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to the cause for
which they here gave the last full meas
ure of devoton-that we here highly re-
solve that the dead shall not have died in
Vain-that the nation shall, under God,
have new birth of freedom, and that
the Government of the people by the peo-
pie, shall not have perished from the
earth %

Marrying In bavaria.

The people of Bavaria are not allowed
to marry until they have what is termed
ian assured means of subsistence
The law, however, does not work well, as
viii be seen by the following remarks
from a correspondent:
heard of case of two poor people
having to wait fifteen years for permission
to marry, and spending two hundred
forms on application. One of the wri-
tiers on the subject gives the following in
stance: An operative earning twelve
shillings a week was engaged TO a girl
earning seven, and the owner of a house
valued at one hundred at twenty pounds
sterling, and cow. They applied for
permission to marry, and were refused
"means of subsistence not assured."-
Time went on; they had two children,
and still their application was refused on
the same ground. The owner of the
manufactory took up their cause and
pleaded it himself with the official, say
ing that his refusal was not what was in
tended by the Government The official
replied, curtly, "What does that mat
ter to US the Government may have its
own ideas on the subject, but we have
ours, and in particular am of opinion
that such marriages are neither right nor
useful" The author from whom quote
this adds: while 1 am writing, my ser
want girl, aged fifteen years, comes in
dressed for feast day, and says that her
father and mother are to be married to-
,day, and she must henceforth be called
by her fathers name. Twelve times her
fathers application for icenee was rejec-
ted, and each time he had to pay fees and
expenses, lawyers bills, &C."

Circassian Slave Trade "A
HFrightfuI -Four
Hundred Persons Killed.

A correspondent of the LeUant HERALD
of Constantinople writes:
Letters from the CiTcassian coast report
popular outbreaks against the Russian
authorities at Souanettri in the mount
ain range of the north of Inertia and in
the southern A5asian slopes of the Can.
casus, and the Russian Consul at Trebi.
Zond has, it is said received reports from
Soakoumkale more or less confrmatory
of these statements The direct news
from Sioux oumkale, if corroborated, is
very serious indeed. 1t would seem that
| four slave merchants arrived a short time
since in Abasia from Trebizond, and short
ly after their arrival serious complaints
were made to the Russian authorities OF
the abduction of a number of young girls
some of them Christians. The Russians,
to their credit be it said, have organized
regular police system for the prevention
of this infamous traffic, and measures
were Immediately taken to arrest the four
yessindjis and liberate the girls whom they
had entrapped. - ~
There are, however a class of influential
Circassians who connive at this trade.
from which they derive pecuniary advant.
age-a set of crafty and turbulent intrig-
uers. who profess Christianity to Christ
ians and Islamism to Mussulmans-to
whom the proceedings directed against
the slave dealers by the Russian comman-
der at Soukoum-kale were not at all pal
atable. The leaders of this clique are un-
derstood to be Mans Bey and the imme-
diate relation of Hammid Rey, and of the
late Abasian chief Micheal. A plot was set
on foot to surprise and massacre the garri-
son and Christian population of Soukoum-
kale, to plunder the place, and then en-
bark with a number Of s.aVe-girls in coast
ing vessels for Turkey, where the whole
band would present themselves in the
guise of ordinary emigrants, and subse-
quently dispose of their human freights a.
the best available profit.
This atrocios plot, it appears, was to
some extsnt-and, unfortunately, to q fa-
tai extent-carried out. Under cover of
night party of A5asians repaired to the
country-house of the military commandans
and murdered that officer and his family,
massacreing even the little children. Al
most simultaneously regular rising was
made throughout Soukoum-kale and its
vicinity; the houses of the Russian Off
GERS of all ranks, and private individuals
also, were attacked. With torch and
poignard the Abasians carried devasta-
ton in every direction, sparing neither
women or children, until the garrison of
the fort came to the rescue, and, after an
obstinate struggle, got the better of the
assassins, and saved the town from fur
ther pillage. Between two and three
hundred Abasians are said to have been
killed, and about one hundred Russians
including women and children, most Of
the latter having been massacred before
the soldiers could save them. The result
of this deplorable affair is that martial
law has been proclaimed throughout Aba
sia, and several detachments of Russian
troops have been dispatched as fast as
steam can carry tham to Soukoum. kale
by way of Poth.

Going Out.

We have oftentimes heard the remark
from church members, that if certain top
les were discussed in the pulpit they
would "go out" The dreaded topics are
generally political. or those that eonscien-
tiously loyal men would interpret as such,
the minister might Just as con-
believe that he was dealing
in legitimate gospel When it comes to
pass that hearers Of certain political pro-
cliyities-all South-side, for a wonder,
which it occurs to any one to consider
whether the thing IS purely disinterested
and spiritual-shal dictate to the preach
er what subjects not to touch, and
threaten him with going out" IN the
midst of his arguments, what chance has
reason in such religion? What a bitter
prejudice it is that pre-resolves not to
hear certain principles discussedl-prin-
ciples, too, that eabsorbing the peoples
thoughts by day and night. How it
must inspire preacher to hedge him off
from the examination of any given sub
iect, lest it should start some weak-min-
ded hesrer up from his pew and out
from the church, How childish "If
my minister breaches politics IN go
OUT" No matter; if he be q true man
he'll preach Gods truth, whether you go
out or stay in-whether you think it pol
itics or Gospel, or whether you are COM
petent to tell the difference between
them. Your going out will not leave the
church brainless or heartless, if it should
earless; neither will it in the least change
the nature of Gospel truth, or curtail
preachers liberty of proclaiming it
Many feeble candle, whose wick, for
want of trimming, had blackened up a
cindered ruin through all its sickIy fame,

sun shine on, ever since He said LET
there be light" And the sun never hes
itates to rise each morning to bless the
land, merely because some twinking lit
tie star says, "Ill go out if you let too
much light shine round here" The sun
rises, and nature rejolces, and who misses
the sensitive little star that "went out ?"
But it did go out-of course it did keep
it's word. And who, in truths blessed
sunrise upon the church and nation,
would miss the twilight twinklers who
''go out 2" We would say to all advocates
of right who stand in the pulpit, in the
language of the prophet of old, "Cry a.
loud, spare not" Keep no truth OBJ
scured-no word unuttered, merely be-
cause some obscure hearer, needing your
light, may say, "Pll go out" Out is a
dark place to go to; but if folks will love
darkness rather than light, the Scripture
says it must be because their deeds are
evil" Men ofGod, have courage; go on

LFrom the North American Farmer.
OCTOB BER.
TpOn the brown and far of hills

Upon the brown and far of hills
The haze lies soft and blue,
While nuts are dropping thick and fast.
Where Summer wild flowers grew.
The Naples gold and crimson leaves
Like blood stained banners gleam-
And purple asters ope their bloom
Beside each forest stream.
The woods like some grand temple stands
Beneath the glowing skies,
While down the long elm aisles. the haze
Like slumb'ring incense lies.
No organs deep majestic notes
Come pealing on the air
No choral strain triumphant floats
Along those arches fair
No voice is heard-no sound, save but
The brooklet rip'ling flow,
Or Mhistling quail in coVeret thick,
Where scarlet berries grow.
Perchance some frightened rabbits tread.
May wake an echo there.
OrdroWsy hum of honey bee
Fall on the dreamy air.
The sunfower and the golden rod
Their gaudy hues unfold,
And seem as if some Midas touch
Had changed them into gold.
The grapes in purple clusters hang
Upon the clinging vine.
And in the orchard. mid the leave,
The ruby apples shine.
But through the forests, Ger the hills
A voice came whispering low
1t murmurs of the Wintry winds
And Of the falling snow.
The crimsoned leaves to each must fall,
And breezes DER them sigh
Oh sad il seems that aught SO fair
Should ever fade or die.
We read on every falling leaf
This lesson most sublime.
That Resurrection's holy power
Shall triumph over time.
For though the summer flower may fade.
The Spring with sun and rain
snail call them from the hill and vale
To bud and bloom again.
