IN the speech which Mr.. David A. Wells
Is delivering IN this part of the country. he
says OF the three years following the finan-
clal disaster of 1857 under a low tariff that
there was more hard work done more
real money earned and saved, and more
true progress made in the country than in
any Three years of history before or since.
Our population consumed the largest
amount OF tea aud coffee; put the largest
NUMBER OF cotton spindles in motion M ahv

lnlies OF railway than ats,-.,y previous time.

W =. Wells, then the Special Commission
er of the revenue said, and we quote from
an Official copy: 3seygsI Nnl 3 aq1n2lunGo
within the last five years more cotton
spindles have been put into operation, more
iron furnaces erected, more iron smeted,
more bars rolled, more steel made, more
coal and copper mined, more lumber sawed
and hewn, more houses and shops acorl-
structed, more manufactures of different
kinds started, and more petroleum collected,
refined and exported than during any equal
period in the history of the country; and

During this latter perQdwe had high
tariff. According to Mr.. David A.. Wells,
who ''speaks as one having authority" the
country never prospered 50 much as it did
under three years of low tariff, and it never
prospered so much as it did under five
years of high tariff. If he were to put his
views into q terse and ineligible form, he 1
would say that the way to make the coun-
try prosper the most all the time, is to
adopt a free trade high protection tariff, laid
for the sole purpose of raising revenue
and keeping foreign products out of the
country on which revenue is paid. In this
way every period will be more prosperous
than any other period, and the less being
equal 70 the greater, the greater must be !
greater than the greater, and the less than
the less. Don't you see how clearly a

1t cannot, now know, have been my
name'
"Why--do please forgive my strange
questions, and believe that have reason
able purpose in them--why cannot your
name have been Desiree Constant ?'
Because" said she, somewhat hesitating-
ly, "because, among other reasons, the ini-
tials of my name are marked on my arm
And can family remember my little broth
er-I suppose it must have been he-mark-
ing them one day on board ship, and
somebody - l suppose my mother was
there and was angry"
Eustace Dunraven broke into an excla-
nation that was almost cry. "Desiree,"
he exclaimed, at was | who made the
mark upon your arm The initials were
mine, not yours. My conviction-my faith
was right. Desiree Constant was not dead
she lives, and you are she 2"
1t was Desire Constant. Desiree was
once attacked by fever, and Mrs. Ryland
announced her death. A slave child, nearly
white, died just then; her corpse was bu-
ried in coffin which bore the name of De
stree Constant and Desiree was sent to the
far West when she had scarcely yet recov-
cred from her fever, and kept there for
awhile by some people who received an an
nual sum for her, and were given to under
stand that she was an illegitimate child.
The letters marked on her arm suggested
to Mrs. Ryland new baptism for the girl,
and she smiled to herself to think how ad-
mirably the supposed means of identified
ton could be made so serve the purpose Of
deception and fraud. She gave to Desiree
Constant the name Of Elizabeth Dennis ;
and the child waking from the delirium Of
her fever to hear herself addressed only by
this name, soon yielded to it in bewilder-
ment, and at last forgot that she had ever
been called by any other.
1t was not long after this that the Eng
lish family with whom she was now living
saw the child, were charmed with her, and
were anxious to rescue her from the rough,
uncongenial, and mercenery hands in which
she was placed. They paid off her keepers,
got possession Of the child educated and
brought herup, and had her now as teach
er and companion of their children.
1 This was the story so far as ever became
known. 1t was not clear that Angelo Ry-
land, the broken old man now pining i'll
Paris ever was party to it. No steps
were taken to crush the broken reed by any
legal prosecution.
Eustace Dunraven became close friend
of the English family, and of course Desi-
rec. The memory of his affection soon
changed into the reality of manly love-
And the girl loved him, and they were fin
ally married, and are happy. Desiree found
mother and husband at once in Mrs.
Dunraven and Eustace, and the future
let us hope, willrepay her for the past.

An Orange Orchard.

A CORRESPONDENT of Hearth and
IN Home writing from California, thus
describes an orchard of that county:

orchard in California, if not in the world,
and is known to many in the States from
reading about it in Tho New West by c.

SONS were just beginning to appear Per
mission is freely given visitors to walk
through the grounds of this princely estate.
I do not care to say how many oranges
picked up and ate. take it for granted
that any one who can walk about under
such glorious trees with the luscious fruit
on every hand, and not "take and eat"
must be either moro or less than human
Apples, it may have been that Eve ate, but
think not, as that would argue that there
were no oranges in Eden, else the serpent
would have chosen them instead Of apples.
Practically, oranges are staple article of
export hence. The tree is very slow
grower for the first six or eight years from
the seed, and only begins to bear about the
tenth year after planting, even with the
best of care, and it thence continues to in
crease in size and proiitableness for a life
ting, 1t is a hardy plant and bears trans
planting well-better believe, than apple
or pear trees-and quite large trees are Of
ten successfully moved by severe pruning
though the generality of trees are trans.
planted from the nurseries at three Or. four
years of age, being then about three feet
high. AT fifteen years old, the tree bears
two thousand oranges each year, without
any alternate or resting years. and at the
local ruling price of three dollars per hun
dred, form profitable crop; SO profitable,
in fact, that the owner of n purse of less
caliber than that of an army contractor
need not enter into negotiations for the
purpose of an orchard in bearing.
