NATURE'S JEWELS.
The orchard lands are all aglow with gems,
Rich, i3erfamod gems, from Nsturo's mike
strewn--
Pearls on the pear, on apple opals pink,
Met rubies on the quince, and amethysts
Upon the peach and tilmond ; fairer gems
Than light the scepter of the proudest throne
Tho scarlet blush sits on the queenly blooms
Of the pomegranate, and the whitening buds
Of April snow-ahowers flake the jargonclle ;
Hero the pink blossoms of the glorious peach,

SILENT BUT EFFECTIVE TESTIMO-
ER
A few months ago Jacob Ames
died, leaving property to the amount
of fifty to sixty thousand dollars, all
of which was readily avilable. At
first it- was - supposed that the old
man—he was eighty-seven--had died
without hayingmade a will, as she
had often been heard to remark that
making a - will seemed like a prepara
tion for death, and as there could be
no question about the inheritance of
his property ; he did not choose to
make any such, to him, ghostly testa
merit.:7::His direct and,,only legiti
mate heirs were two orphans, both
girls, children of his only daughter.
One of them was a cripple, - requiring
almost the individual care and atten
tion of the other, and both were lbe
loved by all who knew them. While
people were feeling glad that the or
phan sisters were to be thus provid
ed for, a man named James Arnold
ilresented a will for probate, said to
be the Last Will and Testament of
Jacob Ames, made several years be
fore: This Arnold was a-nephew-in
law of ow Jacob, the child of a wife's
sister, and had for several years been
employed as business agent and gen
eral accountant of the deceased; and
when he caused the will to be pre
sented, be ,produced . a number of
witnesses Nilo declared that they
had often heard old Ames say that
he lidd made - the only will be should
make, and that - James Arnold was
his heir ; and, what seemed to
make the matter sure, two witnesses
to the will, .former servants or em
ployes of the testator, swore point
blank to having seen Ames place his
signature to the document, after
which they signed their own names.
Honest people shook their heads At
this, for these two witnesses—a man
and his wife—were not above suspi
cion. In fact, it was generally believ
ed that a small stun of -ready money
would tray them, body and soul
I entered the court-room late in
the afternoon of the third day, just
as the witness was about to leave the
witness box; anti this witness was
Thomas Cloudman, the servant just
alluded to. He had been. questioned
by a juryman, and had made a plain
statement. Everything ivas against
the poor deserving orphans, and all
in favor of the despised nephew. In
Lain() honest man under . the- evi
dence, could. have brought in a ver
dict against Arnold's claim.
The juryman who had questioned
this witncss,.sat at the end of the
box; anti close to_ him apiong the
spectators, stood old Tiarvey Good
rich, who was at that time engaged
in the paper mill of Day & Lyon, at
Porthilid. I had known him years
before, when lie worked for Rice, -of
Newton._ The juror held the will in
his hand, open, and Goodrich cast
his eye upon it. I saw the old paper
maker start and tremble. a
" Let me look at that !" I beard
him whisper, for I stood close by.
The Juror, without considering,
handed . him the document; and be
fore the' counsel could interpose and
regain it, Goodrich had seen all lie
desired, and his first movement, after
relinquishing the will, was to hasten
to tho side of the orphans' attorney,
and whispered hurriedly and excited
ly in 'his car. I saw Alit? attorney
whose name was Shipman, bend' his
head attentively, and then start to
his feet. What was it ? In those
few brief momenta the whole - audi-
Cnce had caught the fever of excite
ment, for it was clearly evident that
something of importance was on the
tapis.
" :gay it please your honor," said
Shipman, very quietly so calmly
and so quietly that we feared it could
be nothing of importance, after al1L—
" I must ask' the indulgence of the
court. I wish to present new import
ant testimony."
There was a slight war of words
between the opposing. counsel, after
which, by permission of -the court,
the old paper-nicker took tie witness
box. He gave his name,residence,
occupation, etc : , and then Mx. Ship
man placed the will in his hands.
" Mr. Goodrich, Will you please ex
amine that document?"
"I have done so, sir."
"What is tho written date of tha
will?"
"September fifth, eighteen hun
dred and forty-one,"! answered th•
witness, reading from the instrument.
"Now, Mr. Goodrich, will you
nlea,c inform the jury, and the court,
if you ol , t=crvo anything else, in or
upon that paper which you hold in
your hand, that would positively af- .
fect th© reliability 'of that written
date. Make your own statement, in
your own way; only make it concise
and clear."
" Your honor, and gentlemen of
the jury," commenced the witness,
this piece of paper which I now hold
in my hand, was manufactured by
myself and was calendered upon
machine of my own invention. The

ruling, was included in my !improve
ment. You will also 'observe, upon
close inspection—though the ink
on the surface has somewhat obscur
ed it -- my own stamp in • water
marks. Your honor can examine it
for yourself."
- The ITudge took the document,
and held it up against the strong
light ; and involuntarily ho road
aloud, so as to be heard by all in the
room—for eve breath was hushed
—" H. Goodri ch's Patent. Eighteen
bandied fedi-three!" - '
"'Yes, your Honor," broke in
Goodrich, whose professional integri,
ty was now in the balance, "1 can
solemnly swear that that sheet of
paper was not made until at least
two years after the date of the instra:
ment which has been written upon
its face."
The paper was given to the jury,
who were all upon their feet. Ar
nold's counsel deinanded to see it.
Mr. Clondman and his wife -hot up
and tried to leave the room, but were
prevented. Judge and bar were in
a stele of ferment; while the dense
audience swayed to and fro in eager,
painful suspense: Would this • old
man's testimony have its legitimate
weight?
Al! how could it be otherwise?
There was a witness more potent to
an intelligent .court than speech of
tongue. The contested will bore in
its innermost heart—in its " heart of
hearts"—the emphatic evidence of
the base lie upon its written face.
Other witnesses were. called—one
paper-maker and two paper-dealers
—but the thing was settled. The
water-lined date of the paper was
evidence enough. A litttle while
and the Judge gave his charge—
about as brief a charge as I ever
hoard. little longer and wo knew
that the orphans were the true legal
ly established heirs to . 3acob Ames'
fortune. I will not attempt to de
scribe the scene that followed: Suf
fice it for me to say; that the perjur
ed parties were severely punished,
while the- sun of joy and gladness
cast its gracious beams upon, the be
loved and deserving sisters.
Paul du Chaillu says in a lecture
about Lapland: When I went to
Sweden and expressed my intention
of going to Lapland, I was told that
I should have to wait until the mos
quitoes had gone, for I could not
stand them. I laughed at the idea;
but when I arrived there you may
be assured I believed it; why, Jersey
is not for a moment to be compared
with it for musqu;toes. .During the
reign of this insect the inhabitants
go to the mountains. The Laplanders
are most astonishingly honest.; they
leave their valuable's in sight of their
servants when they retire, and have
never-knoWn them to be stolen. I
left my money-bag once, and travel
ed sonic distance before I missed it.
I tried to make my guide understand
my loss, and:in so doing, awakened
the sympathies of a young woman
(the Lapland women are beautiful!),
who volunteered to get it for me,
which she soon did; I offered. her
some of the gold, but she said she
would not accept it; not knowing
how eh to reward her, I gave her a
kiss; she looked astonished, and I
gave her another. These people are
intensely fond of flowers; in Summer,
'when .he flowers are-it bloom, it is
a national custom to visit the grave
yards each Saturday. and strew the
graves with them.' Great interest is
manifested. to learn of affairs in
America, and New York and Chicago
are household words. The country
has a very thick growth of birch and
fir trees cover nearly the entire sur
face, some of the fir trees measuring
from. five to eight feet in circumfer
ence. The scenery is magnificent,
and I can conceive of nothing more
grand than their mountains, which
are from 5,000 to 8,000 feet in height.
I have travelled for the short space
of half an hour, and passed 72_ water
falls in that time with an average
height of 1000 feet.
WHAT IS POLITENESS ?--I believe
it is best, Who known by description,
definition not being able to comprise
it. I would, however, venture to
call benevolence in trifles, or in the
preference of others to ourselves, in
little daily, hourly occurrrences in
the commerce of life. A better
place, a more commodious seat, prior
in ; being helped at the table ; what
is it but sacrificing ourselves in such
trifles to the convenience and pleas.
uro of others? And this constitutes
true politeness. It is a perpetual.
attention (by habit it grows easy
and natural to us) to the little wants
of those-we: are with, by which : nve
tither prevent or remove them.
Bowing ceremonies, formal compli
ments, stiff civilities, 'will never be
politeness; that must be easy, natu
ral, unstudied, manly, noble. And
what will give us this but a mind be
nevolent, and perpetually attentive
to, exert that amiable disposition in
trifles toward all you converse and
live with.
Au exchange rays: instead of
the closing anthem,some of our min
isters should, at tho close of the ser
vices, give the orders : , 1 Attention,
worshippers ! For hats, dive! For
overcoats, go ! Jerk, twist, plunge !
Make yourselves ridiculous,. all !' the
cifect i would hardly be a variation
from the present style of getting
ready to go out of church . The sing
ing of the doxology seems to be the
signal for a general putting on and
adjustment of overcoats, and when
the benediction is about to be pro
nounced the ruffled congregation look
more like jumping out of the win
dows, or uniting in a crashing and
crowding race fur the doors thwa
listening to the soletun words of the
good pastor. At one of our well-filled
churches, on Sunday evening, it was

• LETTER FROM OOLtJMBIA, PA..
Commute, April 2;1,1872.
MIL EDITOC, r How superlatively
inadequate aro all conceptions of the
vastness, wealth and power of the
Keystone State, formed by a home
resident of Bradford, he can never
fully realize, till °he has visited this
larger settled and incomparably rich
er section of the Comnnnwealth.
Agreeably to an intimation 'in a
letter I wrote you from Harrisburg
80113.3 time since, I have been spend
ing the last three weeks in Lancaster
county. Driving through the South
Eastern end of Dauphin county,
along the Susquehanna to Middle
town, and thence .by way of Eliza
bethtown and Mount Joy to Lancas
ter city, one travels over thirty-six
miles of as rich and beautifuls farth
ing country as the mythical Ceres
ever vouchsafed to the husbandman.
Nor 'are fertile fields and , superb
farms the only. sources- of wealth.
Bounteous supplies of lime and inex
haustible reservoirs of ore, furnish
food for the - Soil and work for the'
furnace.
In fact the careful observer is forc
ed to the conclusion that Nature has
accumulated here almost every rhloi
site of soil necessary to suit the taste
of the most fastidious agricultutist,
and, at the same time, by its liberal
mineral deposits, designed that its
richest harvests should be home con
sumed. Men too, have not been - al
together blind to the teachings of
Nature, as the many and extensive
furnaces, rolling mills, foundries,
iron, cotton and woolen faZtories
abundantly prove. When these nick
el, copper and iron ores are fully de
veloped, Lancaster county will not
have a bushel of wheat or a pound, of
butter to send away from borne. The
city_of Lancaster is pleasantly situat
ed, is rather ancient, in its architectu
ral aspect, boasts a population of
24,000, and, aside froth its iron and
railroad interests, is by far a richer
and busier place than Harrisburg.
Throughout the county the people
are well-to-do,
.honest, intelligent
and sober; are mostly • - pf German de
scent, although in the Lower End "
there is a large percentage of Scotch-
Irish. native Germans and "Yankees.'
In Columbia there are many Negroes,
some of whim are quite wealthy.
Your readers will remember Lan
caster county as the home of Thadde
us Stevens, anti the never-failing
source of '6,000 Republican Majority.
The " Great Commoner " is buried
in Mulberry Street cemetery, and as
-yet no tombstone marks his resting
place. This, I believe,- is according
to his own' request. The belMtiful
"Home of the Dead," at the upper
end of the city, where Mr. Stevens
owned a lot, one would suppose a
more inviting place of interment,
but hero " no colored people are per
mitted to bury." It is made sacred
to the bones Of the white man alone.
0, modern Christianity ! But such
a dedication condemned it in the es
timation of the man whose practical
religion was of too high an order to
be the result of mere theoretical
Christianity. In life true, just, hon
orable, philanthropic, and great in
the noblest sense of that word, in
death he could not permit even - an
implied sufferance to be givdn to
that detestibla Spirit of caste, which
not content with arrogating to itself
the attributes and rights of superior
being. in life; would' carry to the
graveyard the same petty, cheap,
pharisaical self-exaltation. James Bu
chanan is also buried at Lancaster,
but while he slumbers by the side of
his marble monument, the passer by
cannot but draw a contrast between
the criminal errors of his public life
and the beautiful stone which casts
its shadow on his grave.. -
-Columbia, where we- have been
stopping for the last .two- weeks, is
the furtherest point to which shad
navigate the Susquehanna, and for
ten days past the • town has been
abundantly supplied with these su
perb piscatorial dainties.' "It is de
voutly to be wished " that the pro - -
jected fish ladders for which the Leg
islature has so bounteously provided,
will prove a success, and that 'a
year or two at furtherest, shad may
be able to work theirown passage to
Towanda. At Millersville, four miles
south-west of Lancaster, is situated
one of the State Normal Schoolg, but
aswe anticipate making a special visit
to the institntion in a week or so, we•
will, not now enter into details. At
Peach Bottom aro extensive slate
quarries, and iii Fulton township,

born there; are large deposits of
chrome, which have been to some em

Turkish justice is peculiar. A man
was condemned -to be hung in the
Valley of Jehoshaphat. He was
placed on a horse, with . a rope
around his neckattached to the limb
of a tree. The Pasha - demanded
twenty thousand piastres as his par

humble kindred did not possess it;

several hours, the Pasha insisting ou
