Going into winter Quarters.

By October, most OF the Rip Van

BOSTON CoRDETT, who shot Wilkes
Booth, lives in little, old, forlorn-looking
house at Camden, N. j., where he has been
visited by newspaper correspondent. The
writer describes Corbett as short In stature,
with resolute and rather stern face, and
about 40 years old. He busily plies his
trade as halter. He lives alone in his lit
tie house, doing his own cooking and house
keeping, aud seeing nobody but the mem-
bers of the little flock of Methodists which
meets nightly at his house, aud of which he
is the head. Heaped together in one cor
ner of his kitchen are half dozen rough
benches for the use of his congregation.
He breaches and exhorts himself, and uses
Windsor chair for pulpit. When asked
If the name "Boston' was not nickname,
he became rather angry, his eyes flashed,
and holding on high a Testament with his
name "Boston" printed on ii in black ink,
he said, pointing his finger at the name !:
"Young man, there is my name; the only
1 shall ever own. In Boston 1 was con-
verted; there 1 met my Redeemer, and
Boston Is the only name l wish TO be called
by" As he accompanied his visitor TO the
gate, he said ION that eventful morning
of my life, as l shot the assassin crouched
like savage in the recesses of the barn,
felt that was doing my duty to my God
and country. To this day 1 feel Justified
in my course. Were the ghosts of twenty
assassins to rise against me, they could not
disturb calm Christian spirit"

We have on former occasions referred TO
the value of fruits as articles of diet, both
in health and in sickness, Grapes may de-
servedly claim high rank among the
fruits in this respect. They contain a con-
siderable amount of hydro. carbonaceous
matter, together with potassium salts
a mbiuation which does not tend TO irri-
tate, but, on the contrary, TO soothe the
stomach, and which is consequently used
with advantage even in dyspepsia. Ac-
cording TO DIR. Harrison, of Cannes, in
France, who has recently contributed an
article on the subject TO n foreign medical
journal, the organic acids in the grape, es-
pecially tarlaric acid, deserve more consid-
Grafton than they have generally received.
Their nutritive value has, he thinks, been
much underrated. II is known that they
are changed to carbonc acid in the blood,
and possibly careful research may show
that they are convertible into fats. DR..
Hartsen thinks that they should be rank
ed with the carbo- hydrates as food. They

TO the climate and the general hysienic

not wholly consist in the fact that so many

curative treatment. But after giving all

There are pippins and russets, the fred chceks so

In juno they blossoms that frightened the world
With NANTES of promise flung out, and unfurled-
Through the long days of summe p ow-ripsnng they

Till the sun in his setting red Pushes had fang
Der cheeks that grew deeper, as down tho low west
Day woke with his kisses pale night from her rest;
Till red and golden reflected in faces,
They tempt us with glimpses of leaf-hidden graces
They seem like coy maidens deferring our fate;
Till We daily season, and wanting, yet wait.
But the FrostKing steals nearer then cruel yet kind
We pluck their ripe beauty away from the wind
"Be lively now youngsters" the farmer commands
As he mounts the long ladder TO his leafdden lands
Till they fall quickly-wherc missing his hold
And patter and chatter in showers Of geld,
On heads and fhoulders till laughing they shout

The fruit ye are plucking from orchards SO fair,
Is the same that forever pluck through the years.
From trees Of our living in sunshine and tears.
Still russell and golden the type of our days;
And our fruitage is hidden in the worlds binding

When the harvest draws near us meath branches low

Shall we gather in gladness with spirits unspent?
And again in the orchards child hands shall we raise
Meath the frond and the fruitage Of lives full Of

NEW INDUsTRY-TRAFFIC IN FERNS
Among the new industries of the past few
years is the collection and sale of the creep
ing ferns so common in our New England
woods, but entirely unknown beyond the
Alleghanies, and, until last year unknown
beyond the Hudson. This business origi-
nailed at Greenfield, where it is now carried
on extensively, and was begun here about
four years ago. 1t is now in the hands of
Il. w. Clarke and MielleZ & Co.., who sell
many thousand dollars worth annually.
But few punches were sold at first, but as
the demand has steadily increased, the
woods east and southeast OF Springfield, in
Longmeadow, Wilbraham and Somers,
have been carefully CLEANED. Often the
value OF the ferns growing on single acre
Of woodland will exceed that of an acre Of
corn, and wood-lots have been bought at
high prices solely to control the fern trade
The season for gathering these ferns be-
gins about the middle OF August and lasts
till late in autumn. Originally only fresh
ferns were sold, aud those largely for
Christmas decorations, but the trade in the
pressed ferns is now by far the largest part
Of the business, and gives employment TO
number of hands. One dealer in this city
keeps about twelve girls at work pressing.
A dozen ferns are pressed in one ''string,"
and one New York house has ordered 90
900 strings. The pressed ferns are sent all
over the United States and Canada, many
going to California. They are used main
ly for wall decorations, and the ladies will
doubtless be surprised TO learn that their
Western sisters often pay several dollars
for ferns like those which can often be OBJ
tanned hereabouts during an afternoons
drive. The native fern, like the native
American, resists all attempts at civilza-
ton, and is an entire failure as a house
plant. -Sp1inatield Republican.
