MARRIED OR SINGLE.
a Case of Alleged MatrimOny That
Agitates society in Two Countries.

A strange story has Just come to the
surface in the counties of Ulster and
Duchess, state of New York. Last
June notice appeared in The SAUCER
ties Telegraph, under the head of mar
riages, announcing the marriage of Les
ter Barton, of Pine Grove, Ulster coun-
ty, to Anna Schoonmaker, of Blue
Mountain, Duchess county. This week
after an absence of three months, Bar
ton returned to Saugerties, and when
his attention was called to the marriage
notice he declared that there was not a
particle of truth in it, while the lady,
Miss SHOEMAKER, possibly Mrs. Bar
ton, positively asserts that every word
of it is true. Both parties are intelli-
gent, respectable, good looking and
young. The Saugerties Telegraph says
that the friends of each have perfect
confidence in the truth of their respec-
tive statements. There does not APP
pear to be the slightest motive on the
part of either to misrepresent the facts,
except that one insists on being consid-
cred Us married, while the other is just
as determined to the contary. The
young man admits that he paid her his
addresses between the months of De
cember and March last, and that it was
rumored at one time last spring that
they had been married; that his friends
ioked him about it, and that he once
iokingly admitted it, never dreaming it
would be seriously treated. The mat
ter will probably be thoroughly sifted
through the courts, as it is understood
that the friends of the young lady have
engaged ex-Attorney Gen. Schoonmak-
er, while Carroll Whitaker, Of SAUCER
ties, has been retained by the friends of
the young man. One of the curious
features in the case, is, that Rev. Mr..
Scudder, of Red Hook, Duchess coun-
ty, whom the young lady claims mar
ried them, for some reason uneXplain-
ed. made no record of the marriage,
and gave no marriage certificate at the
time. She called on Mr.. Scudder about
two weeks ago for a certificate, and
upon her statement, he gave her one.
Mr.. Barton called on Mr.. Scudder this
week, and the latter, it is said, failed to
recognize him, although he thinks he
remembered the young lady. Barton
saws he was never in Bed Hook until
he Went this week to see Mr.. : cudder,
and saws that he can prove that on
March -, the day claimed as the one
on which the marriage was solemnized,
he was in another place. There are
strong circumstances in the case which
seem to corrOborate the statement of
each Of the parties and leave the mat
ter in much doubt.

Friends crowded around the prisoner
to congratulate him.
Coming out the judge felt his hand
seized in very soft, warm little clasp.
you knew all the time" whispered
Gwen.
Eyes; may you both be happy = am
swered the judge, with weary smile.
You viii never know what those few
lines cost me.
Gwen flushed.
Il think you are making mis-
take" she said II suppose You must
have seen us that night and thought
we were lovers p
"Well, that would be natural said
the Judge, with forced smile. you
are both iii life's golden prime !"
"Oh, he is only boy !" said Gwen,
grandly. II used to like him. We
played at being sweethearts when we
were babies, and he had lot of foolish
letters and my picture that |
wanted to get back Miss Tab watches
me like a hawk, and / could never get
n chance for word So | wrote him
line fixing that time for him to bring
all my belongings to me. He is a little
sentimental yet, but he will get over
it.
sDo you think it so easy for a man
to get over loving you?" asked the
Judge, with i'm eloquent glance.
Then Gwen blushed again and her
eyes dropped.
But he is boy!" She murmurred
and she turned and disappeared.
''He is boy, and it takes a man to
win her!" murmurred the judge, his
heart throbbing with delicious nope
once more. The burden was lifted, the
trial was over, and the way lay open
before him to love and happiness.
Years after he had won his bride, a
tramp died of 2 stab received III Il
drunken brawl At the last moment
he confessed having entered Miss Ster-
ling's house for purposes of plumber.
The old lady discovered him, gave one
scream, and he sprang at her throat
with no idea of numbering her The
fright had killed her, however, for she
dropped dead, he said, as if struck by
lightning. And so ended what Judge
Warburton called his most difficult case.

POETS AND POETRY.

In ancient times. when pastorals sung,
And in their words their yearnings flung,
Nature alone the the line inspired.
And passionate strains the measure fired,
Untoned by modern arts disguise,
BY which smooth words are subtle lies
Twas then the ad0lescent soul
Could taste the sweet Pireanian bowl,
When every word the poet sung
Came from naive. untutOred tongue,
To stand living monument
of lyric power still unspent.
If mortals Woo the willing Muse
Her inspirations to unlOose,
What If the tender devotee
Cunfesses ia the mystery
of love that in his bosom burns,
Eccentric in its titful turIlsz
Should he essay his thoughts To write,
And brina, his whilns To public light
In gushing numbers from his pen
Sure he would find admirers when
Heroic on the cleaning page
Ills burning lines the heart engage;
But hedged around with measured rule,
According to the pendant school,
The brightest gems that flush the mind
To dumb oblivion are consigned;
And, when the writer trims his verse
To make il readable and terse.
And not eccentric in its gush
Not empty here nor there to flush.
Smoothed off to suit some prude reviewer.
Whose fiat brands the ameteur
At par among his shining peers,
Composed of literary seers,
And then he rlshes into print
His books A book with nothing int.
In vain with type and graphic skill
He offers u the popular will
The toadying musings of an ape
Beneath brand immaculate.
Still-boin his volume silent leS-
To time and cash sacrifice.
No, When YOU write don't pump your brains
For oily words from odd remains.
Such dregs viii cloy the printed page.
And disappoint your fond pressage,
The path to literary fame
Eluder it, seekers through a name,
But open lies 70 native sense
Adorned with generous recompense.

THE four great coffee countries of the
world are Brazil, Java, Sumatra and
Ceylon. Hitherto $4,000 tons have
been considered as a good yearly figure
for Brazil, but last year the export alone
amounted to $4,000 tons. But the
consumption of coffee in the country
itself now amounts to 10000 tons, rals-
ing the total yearly product of Brazil
to 3333. 600 tons. Fortunately for the
planters in the other parts of the world
coffee has grown into a necessity III the
United States, and its price has risen.
Although the soil of Brazil, especially
for coffee culture, is very extensive, vet
of obtaining labor daily be-
comes greater, and this renders it doubt
ful whether the above figure can be ox-
ceeded. The crop in Java and Suma-
ira was estimated at $4,000 tons for ex-
port; the consumption of the inhabi-
tants, although the population is double
that Of Brazil, is not half of that of the
latter country. The production in Cey-
Ion. though greater than that of 1873,
shows falling off when compared with
former years; there were IN all Al 200
tons exported from the island, the ma
tive consumption being very small.
