Traffic iii New England Ferns.
Springfield Republican.

Among the new industries of the last
| few years is the collection and sale of
the creeping ferns SO common in our
New England woods, but entirely I'M
known beyond the Alleghanies, and,
until last year, unknown beyond the
Hudson. This business originated at
Greenfield, where it is now carried on
extensively, and was begun here about
four years ago. It is now in the hands
of E. w. Clark and MELEE & Co., who
sell many thousand dollars worth an
nually. But few punches were sold at
first; but as the demand has steadily in
creased, the woods east and southeast
of Springfield, in Longmeadow, Wilbra-
ham and Somers, have been carefully
cleaned. Often the value of the ferns
growing on a single acre of woodland
will exceed that of an acre of corn, and
wood lots have been bought at a high
price solely to control the fern trade.
The season for gathering these ferns
begins about the middle of August and
lasts until late in the autumn. Origi-
naly only fresh ferns were sold, and
those largely for Christmas decorations,
but the trade in the pressed ferns is
now by far the largest part of the bust
ness, and gives employment to num-
Der of hands. One dealer in this city
keeps about twelve girls at work press
ing. A dozen ferns are pressed in one
"string," and one New York house has
ordered 10000 strings. The pressed
ferns are sent all over the United States
and Canada, many going to California.
They are I1snd m oinlv for uo11 dooOra
tons, 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 afternoon
drive. The native fern, like the native
American, resists all attempts at civil
zation, and is an entire failure as a
house plant.

A Bright Light Put Out with Pouring
whisky Inside 1t.

" hfsky Inside 1t.
The following is an extract from one
of the lectures of J. J. Talbot, who
died lately at Elkhart, Ind, from the
effects of a drunken debauch:
But now the struggle is over, / can
survey the field and measure the losses.
I had position high and holy. The
demon tore from around me the robes
of my sacred office and sent me forth
churchless aud goddess, very Kissing
and byword among men. Afterward l
had business large and lucrative, and
my voice in all large courts was heard
pleading justice, mercy and the right.
But the dust gathered on my open
books, and no football crossed the
threshold of the drunkard's office. I
had moneys ample for all necessities,
but they took wings and went to feed
the Golfers Of the devils which possessed
me. [ had a home adorned with all
that wealth and the most exquisite
taste could suggest. The devil crossed
its threshold, and the light faded from
it's chambers; the fire went out on the
holiest of affairs, and leading me
through it's portals, despair walked
forth with her, and sorrow and anguish
fingered within. / had children, beau
tiful, to me at least, as dream of the
morning, and they had so entwined
themselves around their fathers heart
that no matter where it might wander,
ever it came back to them on the
bright wings of fathers undying love-
His destroyer took their hands in his
and led them away. I had wife
| whose charms Of mind and person
were such that to see her was to re-
member, and to know her was to
love. 4 For thirteen years
we walked the rugged path of
life together, rejoicing in its sunshine
and sorrowing IN its shade. This in
fernal monster couldn't spare me even
this. [ had mother who for long,
lorg years had not left her chair, q
victim of suffering and disease. and her
choicest delight was in reflection that
the lesson which she had taught at her
knee had taken ROOT in the heart of her
youngest born, and that he was useful
to his fellow; and an honor to her who
bore him. But the thunderbolt reach
ed even there, and there it did its most
cruel work. Other days may cure all
but this. All me: never a word of re-
proach from her lips; only a tender
caress; only shadow of a great and un-
spoken grief gathering over the
dear old face; only trembling hand
laid more lovingly on my head; only a
closer clinging to the cross; only q pit
eous appeal to heaven if her cup at last
were not full And while her bow rayed
in his wild delirium two thousand
miles away, the plying angels pushed
the golden gates al ar and the mother
of the drunkard entered into rest.
And thus l stand, clergyman with
out cure; barrister without brief or
business; q father without a child; a
husband without wife; son without
parent; a man with scarcely friend !;
a soul without hope-all swallowed up
in the m9lstrom of drink.

AUTUMN.

They have come-the Autumn days,
When the red SIMS chastened rays
In the wood,
Glimmer bright on shade and hue
That the Summer never knew,
And pierce the thicket through
Where I stood.
In the Spring, content TO greet
All the beauties at my feet,
And to stay,
Never caring what beside
Natures verdant veil might hide
Far away.
All ! the view is clearer now;
Dead, the tendril on the Dough,
Sunk, the veil.
And the ocean is in sight,
Spreading gloom, and flashing light,
Where the sun will sink at night,
Dim and pale.
It had come-the Autumn time;
Passed the Summer and the prime
OF my days.
Careless of joys or tests,
For the sod was dank with tears;
Withered fell the hopes of years
La my gaze.
When the magic of thu love
Let the sun in from above,
Soft and bright,
And I saw with altered mind
That the Autumn too, was kind
In its light.
For just as the brighter sheen
Glorlfes the passing green
Of the leaf,
And the vistas op'ning clear
Let the wider scenes appear
Free from grief.
So might it be in life,
When the glory and the strife
Of its June
Has shed their flowers and fruits
From pure or poisoned roots,
Late or soon.
We may find a grander view,
With wider passage through
To our rest.
And that love which blossoms last,
When passions dream is past,
Is the best
From Temple Bar.

his questions asked girl the cause Of
her being in such a place. Her answer
was that she "stole a Watermill, and
went back after the stream that turned
the mill and was arrested" The young
man left Immediately.

A Brave Little Boy Saves His Mother
from Drowning.
st. Stephen IN. b. Journal.

On September "a, Frederick Berry
man, aged twelve years, rowed his
mother, Mrs. Bergman, and two of his
sisters, both younger than himself,
across the St. Croix to Calais, in a small
boat. When they reached their desti-
nation, Frederick helped one of the
little girls to Chamber up the wharf and
took her to a place of safety. When
he returned for the other, he found her
running about the boat screaming:
Where is my mammal"
Frederick rightly conjectured that
his mother had fallen overheard, and
being a capital swimmer, dived imme-
diately into the water where he saw
bubbles arising, and had the good for
tune to aid in bringing her to the sur
face, but could do no more, and Mrs.
Bergman, like every other person in
danger of being drowned, kept holding
on to him, while both were sinking
again, whereupon Fred cried out:
"Oh, mother, don't drown mep' on
which, still retaining her senses, Mrs.
Bergman dropped her hold of him
and pushed him from her, and then
sank the second time. Fred, in an
agony OF grief, Owed and pulled her to
the surface again. Again she sank.
Happily there was no current at the
time, and when the noble little fellow
helped her up the third time he sue
ceeded by a superhuman effort in
placing her hand, which was open, On
the stern of the boat, and there Mrs.
Bergman, though by that time utterly
unconscious, took hold, and held on till
Fred mounted the wharf and brought
some men at work near by to her as
sistance When she recovered, Mrs.
Bergman explained that when Fred
left her with the little girl she attempt
ed to climb up the wharf, but it being
slippery she lost her hold, while the
boat had aoated away from beneath
her, and fell into the water.

A Novel Dodge.

Since the opening of the Centennial
Exposition thieves and confidence men
have been pouring into Philadelphia in
the hope of reaping a good harvest
from what is known to them as
suckers Or people from the rural
districts visiting the show. On Satur-
day a man, evidently farmer, left
bundle containing twelve new shirts
(for which he had discussed 1867 at q
saloon near Fifth and Chestnut streets,
promising to call for them in the after
noon. A number of men were in the
place at the time, and later in the day
a man stepped in, took drink, and
left a bundle similar to that deposited
by the countryman. In about an hour
and half the fellow called, remarked,
" | guess I'll take that package now"
and decamped with the shirts belong
ing to the gentleman from the rural
districts. In the evening the farmer
claimed his bundle, and, in laying it on
the bar, one end was accidently torn
open, revealing bundle Of old news
papers. The farmer still mourns the
loss of his linen.
