DEAR TIMES Il presume your read |

comparison of crops and fruits in Della |
ware with those in Florida up to this
date.
Judging by the fruits and vegetables
that see in the market, it reminds me
of August and will compare very
favOrably with this date in August at
home. OF fields of wheat l have seen
none. Fall sowed oats have been har-
vested and sold. Peaches and vans
are plentiful and peach crates are in
demand. WatermelOns are ripe and
have been going forward to Northern
markets for two weeks. And the
strawberries have been bearing from
January until now, the last picking is
coming in. Early hot corn has had its
day, and the field crop is in silk and
tassel. Ripe tomatoes are as plentiful
as potatoes and few ripe grapes and
full grown green peppers are on sale
Sweet potato vines are covering the
ground, but late setting out has Just
been done. / see no hay and suppose
there is none from the fact that timothy
and herd will not survive the hot suns
and light soil. see draylOads of baled
hay, loading on steamboats, going South
on the St. Johns river and that tells its
own story without asking qustiOns. |

Since former trips to Florida, ] have
come in contact with middle aged men
of more than average information, who
supposed that pineapplGs grew on trees,
and that bananas grew on large trailing
vines; but such is not the case. The
former grows in rows in the ground
and are hard like beets. but this fruit
does not put out until the parent stem
has grown from one to two feet above
the ground. The latter grows like the
trunk of a tree, but entirely limbless,
growing out of the top Of this ten feet
of trunk is a crowded cluster of Leaf
stems and among them grow, say three
to five fruit bearing vines, just the
length and size we see them when ripe
in our large wholesale markets. The
enormous leaf and stem will measure
five or six feet. Both of them require
eighteen months to mature, 2onse

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

Oh! forgive and forget for this life is too feetng
To waste 1t in brOOding DER wrongs we have
met
1t is better far better, to smoother our anger,
TO teach the proud heart to forgive and forget.
In the path we must tread leading down to the
the valley.
Are crosses and trials to lift and to bear:
And the chalice of life from which we are drink
ing
Oft bears to our lips drops of sorrOw and care
But life is so short. be it sunshine or shadow,
That we can't afford to brood over a wrong;
Let us lift up our burdens and bear them on
bravely,
Wen lay them down shortly, it cannot be long
Then forgive and forget If the friends you love
fondly
Prove themselves to be false and unworthy of
trust,
Deal with Them kindly for they are but mortals,
Erring like us, for. we, too are but dust.
Deal with them tenderly, pity their " Weakness:
We know every heart hath its eviand good:
We all have one Father i'll Heaven, hence are
brothers.
Then let us forgive and forget as we should.

Revenue VS.. Retribution.

The manufacture of distilled spirits |
has increased so rapidly that unless
the Lord interposes we may soon ex-
pect our revenue to reach $1O0,OOO,OOO
annually. In 1865 we produced only
l6, 1857 gallons; in 1870, 72,425, ,353
gallons; 1880, 90,355, ,27O gallons; in
1881, III, ,728, $50 gallons-an increase
of 27 1927, $50 gallons over the product
of 1880. We collected in 1865 only
$18, ,131 ,422 45, while in 1881 we increas-
ed that sum by $48, ,432 ,552 .43, an aver
age annual increase of over 5000, 600.
The increase of spirits reported as man.
ufactured in 1881 over 1865 was lOO,-
79l, ,372 gallons, an average annual in
crease of 6,275,000 gallons. In order
to put our products into the market in
1872 we licensed or allowed 248 992
drinking places, and our poor humani-
ty, the consumers, paid $700,0O0OO0
for the liquors they purchased. Dur
ing the same year there were in our
country only 83,637 ministers. 72.45O
religious organizations. supported at a
cost Of SAT ,636, ,495. We employed in
1880 in our public schools 49,. .448
teachers, instructing Y,S7l,3 pupils,
at total outlay of $50, ,G52, ,838. We
have to-day more liquor-sellers than
public school teachers, four times
as many drinking-places as churches,
and an equal excess Ofrum-sellers over
the clergy. We have collected and
| paid into our treasury since 1858 1884,
$50, ,37S15 from distillatien and sale of
spirits, while we have paid into the
the Lords treasury during the same
time for the conversion of the world
only $40 100000. Tell it not in Gath.
