Poetry.
ONLY A HEART.

It's not a stone that will bruise, my iofo'
Nor is it a serpent to sting
A thorn to rend, sword toplerce,
Or any vile poisonous thing.
Only a heart-a woman's heart
Step on it crush it so !
Bravely done like gentleman,
Turn on your heel and go
Only heart What harm is done
Let it bleed in the dust and moan
Or stifle its anguish as best as 1t may,
Or stifen, my lord, into stone
Only a heart it was fresh and young,
And tender and warm, know !;
AS pure as the spirit of chastity,
Ny lord, and it loved you SO
But nothing is lost let it die, my lord,
Let it's death be quick or slow
Such hearts are as plenty as summer leaves
We find them wherever we go.
Only heart | do not fear, my lord
Nobody on earth is near
To come to the cry Of the wounded thing.
And God is to far to hear.

CULTIVATION OF FISH IN PONDS. Much
attention is now being paid in Germany to
the cultivation of fish in ponds and bitches +,
and it has been found, contrary to the gen.
eral received opinion 10 reference to such
localities, that they are more favorable for
the purpose than other large bodies of va
ter, This is doubtless owing to the great
abundance Of animal life, as we'll as to the
more decided concentration of vegetable SUBJ

duces the constant evolution of oxygen need
ed for the respiration of the fish, and allows
larger mass of life to be crowded together
in given space. The reproduction of the
species is unusually rapid, and the young
grow very quickly.

II VOTED SHIP.

The steamer Vanderbilt, which was pre-
sented to the Government during the war
by Commodore Vanderbilt, WAS sold at
auction in 1872 for $4,000, the purchasers
being George Howes & Co. of San Fran
cisco, who have since transformed her into
q splendid sailing ship, rechrlstening her
with the name of "Three Brothers," She
Is an immense vessel, being 800 feet in
length, 48 feet 8 inches in breadth and 81
feet inches in depth Of hold, with an ag-
gregate tonnage of 3972 l7-l00 tons. Her
spars are of corresponding dimensions, the
mainmast being 90 feet 10 inches in length
and 43l inches in diameter at the deck.
When full spread she will carry 10, 900 yards
OF canvas the mainslil alone carrying 1910
yards. The ship has been newly furnish
ed in fine style, her cabin, dining room and
other apartments being elegantly fitted up
with Brussels carpets and handsome furn-
iture. Since her purchase the owners have
expended Sl75 900 in alterations and gener-
al outfits, and the result is one of the most
beautiful and capacious vessels in the
world.
Her magnificent proportions and great
of thousands at San Francisco, where she
has been loading the largest cargo ever car
rled by any ship, and her departure from
that port, bound on the voyage TO Havre,
was mado the occasion of grand display.
Nearly all the vessels in the harbor were
decorated with bunting, and many private
residences in the city were appropriately
decorated, while from the hills and other
emnences crowds Of people watched her
majestic progress toward the ocean. A large
party of ldies and gentlemen also accom-
| panied her down the harbor in steamers,
partaking of Il collation. and celebrating the
day in truly festive manner. The snip Is
under the command of that veteran slip
master Captain George Cummings, former
Iy of the crack ship Young America, which
has made the best time on record under
him. Many old sailors predict that The
"Three Brothers" will prove to be one o.
the fastest vessels afioat, and the termina'
ton Of her voyage to Havre will be looked
for with much interest,

The END OF THE WoRLD.-The band of
brothers and sisters who are encamped on
Terry island in the Connecticut river,
where they are awaiting the end of the
world, seem to be perfectly sincere in their
faith. They do not set the exact day for
the grand transformation act, but they
nave perfect confidence that ii will come
some time before people begin to date their
letters "lS74." They are described as rath-
er a motley set, some of them being famil-
lar enough with the Bible to make shrewd
argument as to the meaning of the prophe-
cies upon which they base their faith, while
others in the company are content TO fol-
low the reasoning Of their abler associates,
without troubling themselves to think
much about it. They have charts upon
which the end of the world is demonstrate
ed as clearly as can be desired by those
who want to believe, and they are consistent
in making no provision for food, fuel or
clothing beyond the present year. Three
times before the year has been fixed upon,
and the enlightened few have put them
selves in readiness. They think that now
they have "dead sure thing" on 1t, and
are quietly abiding the issue. The

The UDDERZooK MURDER TRIAL.-The
attempted fraud by Goss and Undertook
upon life insurance companies, the murder
of Goss, and the trial and conviction of I'd
derzook at West Chester, Pa. combine to
make one of the most remarkable records
of recent criminal annals. Goss was pet
ty manufacturer of matches in Baltimore,
poor and in debt. He, in company with
Udderzook, concocted scheme for max
ing fortune by huge swindle. Money
enough was raised TO insure Goss's life for
twenty-five thousand dollars in some OF
the best companies in the country, includ-
ing the Travellers of Hartford and the Mu-
tual Life of New York. Soon aflerward
Goss claimed to have discovered new
mode of making gutta percha, and ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of making experiments
erected frame shanty in the outskirts OF
Philadelphia, and filled It with combusti-
bles. One morning the building was found
burned, Goss was missing, and the charred
remains of human being found among
. the ruins were identified by UdderzooK
and by Goss's wife as those of the missing
man. For several months after ward the
supposed dead man was in hiding in differ
ent parts of the country under an assumed
name, while his wife and Udderzook en-
deavored to collect the insurance. The
fraud might have been successfully accom-
plished but for the persistence of the Mutu-
al Life insurance company OF New York,
which, being suspicious, set about solving
the mystery to their satisfaction. The case
dragged along in the courts, although one
| Jury found a verdict against the insurance
| companies. Goss was of intemperate hab-
its and there was danger that at some time
he might disclose the swindle. Put he had
been in hid no so long that it 81 med safe
| for his acct mplice TO Trt him ont OF the
way, and thus effectually prev ent the de-
lection of the swind, ii was decoyed TO
| the woods near West CheAter, Pa. by I'd
derzook, brutally murdered, cut into pieces
and buried. There were no witnesses and
apparently there could be no detection Of
the crime, and the success of the Insurance
swindle seemed certain. But the birds OF
the air turned detectives, and the body was
unearthed before decomposition had taken
place sufficiently to prevent Identification.
A chain of circumstantial evidence was
formed, link by link, so strong that the
able attorneys for the defense found 1t I'M
possih to break or weaken it, and the lrl-
al ended on Sunday, the 9th inst, by the
Jury rendering a verdict OF murder In the
frs degree, after being in consultation for
about forty-fi five hours. The delay was due
10 the blunder of the prosecuting attorney
in failing TO produce during the trial cer-
tain letters which proved conclusively the
Identity of Goss with Wilson, the name as
sumed by him while in hiding. These let
ters were shown to the jury amer being out
forty-two hours, and soon after they agreed
upon the verdict, diet sslshoagh .n,,p previously
