Said he to me, as playfully ho trimmed a transverse colon - The chattel of a patient then in waiting, 11r. Dolan, "VD aro coming to a crisis when the organs of our body Will be as separable es the threads in pieo- es of shoddy, When you mud I, if need should be, without the least of shivers, May get a timely change by wearing one another's livers. ''To mend a broken back will not de- mand our reading volumes Of dubious lore. We'll have a chest of pat- ent spinal columns, And, rooting up the native bone, we'll set iho vasaut socket, With vertebrae as fitting as a purse into a pocket. "The interchange of hearts will be a verit- able doing, If 'take my heart' escapee the lips of emit. ten Mr. Wooing. That organ he will pluck out from ire sock- et in the saying, And in the lap of her be loves the tribute he'll be laying. "Each man of means may have as many limbs as he desires, Some week day limbs and Sunday limbs and limbo to run to Ares, And 'stead of hanging up our pants, we'll bang the whole equipment, And when they need the tailor's oars we'll wind them up for shipment. "If football should eradicate the hide of Mr, Tbermis, He'll atop into the druggist's for a yard of epidermis, And 'fore he's hardly conscious of his meet- ing with disaster, The same may be adjusted just like any other, plaster.

'Dr. Genius would announce his readiness t0 furnish Tho trade with mucous membranes with antigastric burnish.' 'Dyspeptics of the chronic sort should see Professor Slattern And have now stomachs fitted of the most enduring pattern.' ,Dudes, having any need of brains, may have the same injected At Dr. Squirter's Smithery, where goods may be Inspected., "All thin and more will conte about," the doctor quaintly added, As with an anti -hiccough band my dia. phragm he padded, "And at the rate that science strides to. ward this ingenious heaven, 'Twill ripen Anne Domini, two thousand awontysoven." S 111,11 (10 OYER T1111 OCEAN. In West street, between the Itmgrlm place and J!arolay street, there is a height Htetitn of the Now York Cen- tral and 11ud0011 River Railroad. All sorts of freight are delivered or ship - pea from that paint, but it le widely known an "Applo Wharf." Here it regular exellnnge luta bete developed whore wholesale traders meet daily dining the fall anti winter and mainly adjust the New York gaotallolas far apploe, A trunk -load is about the smallest traneaotion that takes place, and sales go from that quantity to a carload, of tmwy hundreds of barrels for city storing er foreign exportation. When the crop is scant abroad or the quality is poor -the latter is the ease this season --Liverpool 3411(1 Glasgow deal largely mu American apples. And when there is a crowding supply here, New York dealers try to relieve the market by shipping abroad largo ly on their own tic:event and talc their chanes of striking an outlet. There are, however,- enough regular orders to be filled to make the export demand steadily worthy of attention. In former times lino Newtowu pip- pin was the chief sort sent to Tug• land, but, with tho easy and (viol; transportation of the Clay, numerous other hinds have found favor over the water, and there Is always more or lees gall for showy red P,aldwius, fine smooth Groeuiugs and high•grado Russets in their seasous. Canada raises some exoellont Grsenings, which of late years compote success fully with those of the United States In the export iugnu'y. Glade aould he well copied by many State and outer packers in the matter of honest barrels. Trade at "Apple Wharf" begins ie the fall as soon as ear lots are ready to ship this way, and oontinnes all winter. Extremely cold weather causes a lull in handling, but damag- es 19 more or loss prevented by lined or air tight care and a closed wharf. A. car carries about 175 barrels. Ar- rivals have run as high as 100 car- loads in a day ; and it is not uncom- mon to see from 10,000 to 15,000 barrels awaiting distribution. Ex- pert dockmen may be seen at varmQus piles breaking down tiers ; samples of which they unbend with n hatchet or adze to exhibit quality ; these they reheat with dexterity that seems magical to an outsider, who at some time or other has struggled with the operation of heading a barrel, beseig- ed as it were by the demon who also presides over the putting together of a stove pipe. Owners of invoices em- ploy their own coopers ; a large num- ber of the craft are kept busy putting barrels in shipping condition. It is important to line the chines of bar- rels with narrow strips of flexible, tough wood ; this permits quick roll- ing or slinging on shipboard, and is some safeguard against robbery. The standard varieties for winter use aro Baldwins, R. I. Groenings and Spmtzeubergs. The last was 0.000 the famous apple of the trade, but it yearly diminishes in quantity. These are the sharp•flavored sorts. The sweets and mild,tart inolnde Swear, King, Gillyflower,Talman and Pound sweet. The Tolman is highly prized being fairly juicy and almost pear. like in flavor. The Fameuee, or snow apple, is a delicious table apple, at- tractive in shape and appearance. It has a riolt, purple, wine colored skin, with flesh as white as an opening cotton pod. Canada used to give the light supply that came here ; now it Is grown oleewhere, and is an apple of commerce. It is rather delicate to carry beyond the holidays. The Northern Spy is a handsome variety, and to a great degree makes up for the loss of the winter -needed Spitzen• berg. Late in the cold season come the large Roxbury and Golden Rus• sets, but of recent years, by the time they have mellowed properly for lo- cal use, the South has begun to show novelties and steamer bananas, and muoll of the apple trade is cut off. Quality will be fine this winter, its the harvest will contain the product rof many young orchards that have oome into bearing. e Tho cultivation of apples have in. greased all over the western part of New York state ; formerly Niaaara, Orleans and Cllenango furnished the bulk of the crop ; but the area now in fruit renders this section quite Inde. pendent of further western orchards.

At Toronto, on Thursday, Mrs. Bollen had just partaken of dinner when she complained of her eyesight failing her, fell off the chair on which she was Hitting, and died a few min- utes after the doctor's arrival.
