Pitchford, Jr., Who fell from a tl'CO and put one of his shoulders out of joint. We like thc boy w ho likes to climb, For he reminds ns of thc lime, When youthful impulse full of glee, Lcd us to climb up many a tree. Few are the lads where trees abound, Who, in perambulating 'round, Aro not impelled to mount like Pees, Among thc blossoms cd thc trees. And when thc blossoms change to fruit, .lust ripe enough the taste to snit, A new impulse impels to lise. Aloft to reach thc luscious prize, Thc climber should mos) cautious he. In climbing up an aged tl'CO, To trust no dead limb, great or small, Lest it should break and let him fall. lt is as well to learn to climb, As it can he to learn to swim, For both the arts may come in play, And servo for good some fut ure day. /.acchcus was a man so small. That, in a crowd ol' people tall. Ile had to climb into a tree To get a chance his Lord to see. If ho had never learned thc art Of climbing trees when yoitngand smart. Ho might have missed his coining guest And lived a worldling still mildest. In sixteen hui died eighty seven, A thing occurred in history given, That shows ?he good a climber did, When he a precious chatter hid. From boston town a soldier strut. With troops, marched to Connecticut, To steal thc charter of thc Slate, And rule, as a usurper, great. Thc name ol' this usurping boss And arrant knave was Ed. Andros, A sample of thc sort of nu n The british sent to tule us then. Ho caine when thc assembly sal, And keeping 011 his soldier 'nat, Demanded quick their charter great, Anil thought they'd hand it over straight. This all occurred late in Hie night; Thc hall was lit with candle light, And when he rushed lo seize the prize Tho lights were blown in one his eyes. Then, in tho very nick of lime, A Captain Wadsworth, who could climb, Snatched up the charter instantly And hid it in an old oak tree. Its limbs grew low and up he raced, Like a raccoon by hunters chased. And placed it in a hollow old, Where it remained all niceU rolled. For two full years it kept its ? hu e, 'Till Andros left in deep disgrace. When Wadsworth in a study brown Climbed up the tree and brought it dow ll. While it showed mohl and gathered soot, lt served to bless Connecticut, Preserving rights to all mos! dear, That lasted long an 1 gave good ( beer.

Ono of tho most notable speeches before the rooctit Trims-Mississippi Commercial Congress at Texas was . hy Prof. Sylvester Waterhouse, of Washington University, Si. Louis, of America's trade with the Orient. Ile pointed out that as the ICuropean nations ure active competitors of the United States for the trade of the world in manufactures, it is idle for the United Stales to expect lo sell in hiUropean markets nil the surplus of their manufactures, Therefore, he contended, this couti? try should look to Japan, China, tho Philippines, the Malay Peninsula, Su matra, .lava, Borne?, the C?libes, New Guinea, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and the islands of the adjacent waters, which have a popu lation of 100,000,000 and an annual com meroo ol' ?750,000,000. Ile dwelt particularly upon the oppor tunities developing in China with the extension of systems of railroads and telogrnpll lines, und the Philip pines, rieh in possibilities of com mercial exchange, with cotton as one ol' the mediums, and said : "The manufacture of colton goods in our Southern States has already developed into n vast industry. Within the last, live years the mills of the South have enlarged their textile capacity by l>,f)00,000 spin dles, an<l the profits of manufac ture rtre encouraging the erection of many now factories. The fertile soil, which produces an abundance ol' thc best liber; a genial climate, which greatly reduces the heavy ex pense ol' healing thal mills in cobler latitudes incur ; thc cheap labor, which is sufficiently skillful for the mnuuf u I ure of tho coarse and pos sibly ot the liner grades of colton cloths, and the nearness of factory lo Hold, which saves the cost of dis tant transportation, aro a combina tion of advantages and facilities thal must ultimately give the South a control ol' tho collen manufactures ol' lite world. If weean manage lo -eenie only :i proportionate share of the trade with China, ils patronage will absorb immense quantities of our textile products." Ile showed, too, that there is an increasing demand in China and .la pait for lumber and mai/.e und for improved machinery, and concluded willi : 111 out nest ph-a for the imme diate construction of nil isthmian canal. ( hi this point he said : "Ol' all the agencies for the ex tention ot' our Oriental traille, tho Nicaragua canal is the most impor tant. Thc arguments in its favor are supremely conclusive. A-Mired ol' its utility as a moans of national defense and commercial expansion, tin- American people arc impatient for Congressional delays. In view of thc t'.u t that the total wealth of the United Stales is now more than *i>7,OQO,000,000, the hesitancy of Congress to incur a debt of $150, 111)0,000 for a work that will im mensely increase our national re conreos is simply preposterous. The reluctance of Congressmen to vote for large appropriations is prob ably caused by a fear that their ac tion will nol be sustained hy their constituents, bul it*thc whole Ameri can people demand the immediate construction ol' the Nicaragua canal doubtless their representatives at Washington will be glad lo comply with their wish. One of the United Slates canal commissioners lately said that this shipway would an nually -ave in time, freights, wages, > fuel and insurance a stun larger than ils original cost. Interests of trans cendent importance urge our South ern Slates lo insist upon an early i completion ol' this waterway. This channel opened, the exportation lo t he ( ?i ?cut ol' cotton liber and cloth Would SOOII develop to enormous proportions, livery consideration ol' intelligent self-interest, prompts 1 the Soiiih to hasten the construction of tliis great work. For the naval pioiectii.ii of our -hores, for facilita ting tho t rallie ol' tho Pacific coast with our K?steln States and Ku tope, for thc development and con trol of Oriental trade the Nicaragua c.mal will be an ellicicill and inval uable factor. As every section of our country will -hare its henelils, all of thc Slates should unitedly demand the speedy completion of thi> inter oci an shipway." ll i- only necessary for lin- South to consider ii? growing trade willi China in colton goods and thc ad vint tiges for i hal i rude in tho con struction ol' tin- canal to rcali/.e the importance of such a waterway, lilli the canal will mean much more lo tin- South limit a direct route for ils <.?>t t?>i. manufactures to a rapidly growing market, ll will mian an increase in the business of tho Southern ports, particularly those Oil the (Jilli', m>l only because of their con vi nient position for t rado of thc ?.ni ry t h rough tho canal w ?th tlic dist lilli [Casi, the South Sea ami Pa t? i (i ti South A mei ici, luit because of the 11 i not and indi reel bern lil s lo llow from their nearness lo whal 1 viii bc the great highway of world c .mm. ree, t he ( bill' and I he < '.ni hean Sci.

Indiana timber land, which was consulorcd tho host in the coun try, is bein?? so rapidly denuded of tho once splendid forests of hard wood timber that speculators are seeing the advantage of gobbling up everything thal may be got in the woy of timber tracts. Tho walnut ami hickory of Indi um) anti Ohio are considered the best thal omi bo hail, anti the monster poplars which once, formed the nu cleus for thc "log-heap lire are now Worlh individually more as they Bland than the acres they occupy will bring when cleared, many a poplar tree selling for $100 before an axe touched it. Tho walnut that was once so plen tiful that barn timbers, house sills, fence rails, etc., were made from it, is becoming exceedingly scarce, and curled walnut slumps have brought almost fabulous prices, while hick ory, of the shell-bark variety, eau scarcely ho fourni in some of the best sections. Last year's purchase by a Goshen (Inti.,) (?rm ot' f>5 standing walnut trees near the Nordhorn Indiana line for $10,000, ami the handsome sum they make out ol' the handling of this rare chimp ot' trees, has proved an incentivo in the search for Umber in other directions. Grant county furnished a noticeable in stance in the sale ol' the I,OHO acres of virgin forests on the Wood tract, the lust large forest in Indiana, for $00,000. A New York linn bought lite walnut timber where it stood for $55,000; Uh) acres ol' land, the titu ber being reserved hy the seller, sn'd for $20,000, and there remain 0?I0 aeres til the best timber in Indiana, thc walnut alone being sold from it. Thc buyers will clear $00,000 by their deal in that timber. Where years ago thc lumberman went for only large tracts they are now content willi individual trees, anti wherever lhere is a notably line forest monarch ttl' the desirable va riety its whereabouts becomes wide ly known and the competition lo se cure it is very sharp.
