Dickens Domestic Troubles.

The late Charles Dickens, it was gener-
ally known, was separated from his wife.
In the third volume of Forster's Life OF
Dickens" Just issued in London, the great
novelist himself explains his mysterious
family troubles "Poor Catherine and
are not made for each other, and there is
no help for it, 1t is not only that she
makes me uneasy and unhappy, but that
l make her so, too-and much more So.
She is exactly what you know in the way
of being amiable and complying; but we
are strangely ill-assorted for the bond
there is between us. God knows she
would have been q thousand times hap
pier If she had married another kind of a
man, and that her avoidance of this destiny
would have been at least equally good to
us both. am often cut to the heart by
thinking what pity it is, for her own
sake, that ever fell in her way; and If /
how sorry she would be- and how deeply
grieved myself, to think how we had lost
each other. But exactly the same incom-
patibility would arise the moment l was
we'll again; and nothing on earth could
make her understand me, or suit US to
each other. 1t mattered not SO much
when we had only ourselves to consider,
but reasons have been growing since
which make it all but hopeless that we
should even try to struggle on. What is
now Detailing me / have seen steadily

when Mary was born; and | know too
well that you cannot, and no one can, help
me. Why have written hardly know,

you should be clearly aware how matters

An Interesting Railway Decision.

An important case was tried in the Som
erset County Court, New Jersey, recently,
the result of which will be of particular
interest to railroad companies and to
passengers who may meet with accidents.
John Knable. the plaintiff, received in
iuries on Dec. 81, 1871, while riding
in the rear car of train on the Councils
vile Railroad, bruised rail having
thrown the car down an embankment into
the river 1t was shown to the court that
the repair-master of the division on which
the accident occurred had been notified
ofthe defective rail. In the instruction to
the jury the Court held that when an acct
dent happens and passenger is injured,
the presumption is against the carrier,
and that the defendant must remove it by
showing that there was no negligence. On
the question as to what the law requires
in regard to the structure of railroads, the
Court substantially charged as follows:
The road must be constructed of the
best materials in the best known manner.
1t must be safe and sufficient beyond
question, in view of the business to be
done upon it. The ties must be sound
and strong, well laid and well fastened.
The road i'm its structure must
be up to the standard. The ut
most care and vigilance is required OF
the company in keeping it in repair. It
must be kept in the best condition. 1t
must not be suffered to be out of repair
for moment longer than the utmost di.a..
gence requires. Il must be always is
good as new, as good as the best. The
railroad company is bound to keep hands
enough and of such quality as to keep the
road in the best order. Not to have the
road up to the standard indicated is neg
ligence. The slightest neglect to keep it
in this condition, If hurt or loss occurs TO
any one, will render the company liable.
If injury results from a defect in the road
the carrier can relieve himself from re-
possibility only by showing that the de-
feet was one which could not be discov-
cred or cured by any attainable skill, fore
sight or intelligence.
On the question of damage the Court
affirmed the point of counsel to plaintiff
in this regard, which is to the effect that
the plaintiff can only recover such COM
pensation for loss and damage as the evil
dence clearly proves him to have sus-
tanned, not exceeding $4,000. The jury
rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for

not stand the cold and the fright that
came over me, therefore l am come up
here to the gate of heaven. They say it
will be opened for such poor thing as l
am. And now l have no home down at
Digi. That does not, however, give me
any admission here.
Then the gate of heaven was opened,
and the angel carried the old woman in.
She lost straw of her mattress outside
that had been in her bed which she set
on fire to save SO many, and it became
pure gold.-Hans Christian andersen.

How to Make an Orchard.

In commencing to make an orchard
bear in mind that ii is not for day or a
year, but for lifetime, and If we make
mistakes 1t may take years to find them
out and many years more to correct them.
We should, therefore, consider carefully
what we will plant, and where and how
we will plant to bring the best returns.
A small orchard well tended is worth
more than large one that is neglected,
and no one should plant more than he can
care for.
Select, If possible, the highest ground
on the farm for your orchard site and have
it naturally OF artificially drained so that
water will never stand about the roots.
The soil should be well prepared by a
thorough and deep blowing the fall be-
fore planting.
Having the ground selected and pre-
pared for the orchard, 20 to the nearest
reliable nursery and get the trees fresh
from the ground. If not convenient to go
to the nursery, make up club with your
neighbors, and select the trees or send
your order to some reliable man. If you
cannot find any better way 10 get your
trees buy of peddler rather than go
without, though ii is much the better way
To buy direct from the man who grows
them.
Do not expose the roots to sun or air,
and as soon as you get them bury them
in moist earth, taking out only as wanted
for planting. Never dig large, deep holes
for water to stand in under the trees, but
have the ground all well worked. Throw
out enough earth TO give the roots ample
room TO set your trees in and fill up care
fully with fine mellow earth, pressing it
firmly about the roots. The planting
should be done when the ground is in
good order for working and not too wet;
IL dry, water when the earth Is nearly
filled in, and then fill up with dry earth
to prevent baking.
On good soil, not too light but well
drained, plant two or three inches deeper
than the trees grew In the nursery. II
the soil is tenacious and not well drained
plant almost on top and ridge up to them,
leaving dead burrows for drains between
the rows, and raise the earth about the
trees three or four inches, so they will
stand deeper than they grew.
In light, sandy, well-drained son
plant five to six inches deeper than the
trees grew.
NY experience teaches me that the best
time to plant is in the spring before the
growth starts, but 1t will do to plant until
the buds are fairly opened.-Kansas

Lost in the Woods

Both your brothers and your brother
in-law are excellent at making their way
through the bush, and as each carries a
pocket compass they are in little danger
of being lost. just before we came here
the whole settlement had to turn out in
search of settlers wife who had gone
to look for her COW one fine afternoon
with two of her own children and two
of her neighbours, who coveted the pleas.
ant walk and the chance of berry pick
ing. AS evening came on and they did
not return much alarm was felt, and
when the night had passed it was thought
best to call out all the men, Accordingly
twenty men were soon mustered, headed
by skillful trapper, who has been many
years here and knows the bush well.
They made "trapper's line" which
means placing the men in straight line
at considerable distances from each other,
and so beating the bush in all directions
as they advance, shouting and firing off
their guns continually. Atlength, towards
the afternoon, the trapper himself came
upon the poor woman and the four chill
dren, not many miles from her home, sit
ting under tree, utterly exhausted by
hunger fatigue and incessant screaming
for help. Her account was that she had
found her COW at some distance from home,
had MIXED her, and then tried to return,
but entirely forgot the way she came and
after trying one opening after another be-
came utterly bewildered. The forest In
summer is SO unvarying that nothing is
easier than to go astray. AS night came
on, she divided the can of milk among
the poor, hungry, crying children, and at
length they all slept under large tree,
the night providentially being fine and
warm. In the morning they had renewed
their fruitless efforts, getting farther and
farther astray, till at length they had sunk
down, unable to stir from the spot where
they were found-March Atlantic.
