got a letter front Lis brother in the
east, and handed it to his wife to read,
as the campaign ba inflamed his eyes
painfully. Among other thiols, the
good lady read : "You would not

He was 75, day before yesterday, and

there's an example for you. Your
father has iren up the rice of the

"Yes, Mariar," said Blinkenberry,
with a filial tier in his worn eyes;
"yes, Mariar, so it is ; just wait till I'm
75. n.Tw" I'll ttisrnunt Ilia old man."
Ton minutes afterward, when Blink

of red. iijon his graceless cheek.
It is worth while to contrast the
showing of Philadelphia with the rec
ords of other World's Fairs. The
London exhibition of 1861 was a
financial success ; that is to say, the
subscribers to tho guarantee fund were
not called upon to. make good their
Conditional promises, but the capital,
which was in the form of subscriptions,
and not of stock, was absorbed except;
186,000. The Now York exhibition
of 1853 "exhausted the capital receipts
and two loans." The P ris exhibition
efl8.5, a Government project, sunk
83,000,000. The Loudon exhibition of
.1SG2 entailed a deficit of 12,000, paid
from the guarantee fund. For the
VmU exhibition of 18G7 a profit was
claimed of $600,000 on an expenditure
of $4,000,000, of which the Govern
ment paid 82,500,000. The Vienna
exhibition lost $9,000,000. In attend
ance the ' Philadelphia exhibition is
surpassed only by that of Taris In
1667. . - -":
It takes a touch of adversity to
show whether a man is a man at all,
just as it needs the touch of frost to
briug out the glories of the trees.
lis-en ou a dark day in October, how
royally the woods flame out I Under
what glorious banners they march to
lueet tha winter! What nnmnlhl
splendors, rich as sunset skies, tender
as the raiubow, shine out over the
whole earth 1 Those splendors are the
treasures that the trees wero silently

flooded them, all day long. And
fehall a man in his time of prosperity,

A pretty widow, whose husband has
been dead several years, received a
beautiful bouquet tho other day. , The
ma;i tint wut , it had been flying
arouuu her with an earnestness worthy
of a dryads Herk, and it was with
extra delight he saw her pass his store
that evening w ith the bouquet of flow-
. ers in hand,
'"Am so ' pleased to sea you with
thecj," said he, and a. thousand little
otipids dimpled in hi smile.
' "Yes," .he replied,, '"it was very
"unci in yon; always knew you liked
. hiin; 1 am taking them to his grave."
"I suppose you didn't observe the

cao deacon to a brother in the church
. thia- week, the morning after tho dav
appointed.- 'Yes, I did,' replied the
u ro trier, "i thought you once told me
you didn't believe in fasting?' 'Well,
1 don't usually,' answered the brother
'but you. sec I happened to get nothing

himself 'That's tbe way. with some

can beat the devil any day at raising
disturbance and sowing discord , and
a village had better have the itch, the
niea&les and the dysentery all at once
than have one such gossip in its bor

to pet around to the Postoffice after it

The following is an extract from a do-.
script ion of Vineland, published in the
now lnrK iTinuno, uv llie well-known
Agriculturist, Holon lUiblnson:
All the farmers were of the "well to do"
sort, and some of them, who have turned
their attention to fruits and market gard
ening, have grown ri?h. The soil is loam,
varying from sandy to clayey, and surface
gently undulating, intersected with small
streams ana occasional wet meadows in
which deposts of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertilize the whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted of it
natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive
fertile tracts, in an aluioat level position,
and suitable condition for pleasant funn
ing, that we know of this side of the West
ern prairies. We found some of the old
est farms apparently Just as profitably
productive as when first cleared of forest
nfty or a hundred years ago.
Tbe geologist would soon discover the
cause of this continued fertility. The
whole country is a marine deposit, and all
through the soil we found evidences of
calcareous substances, generally In tho
form of indurated calcareous marl, show
ing many distinct tonus of ancient shells,
of the tertiaty formation and this marly
substance is scattered all through the soil,
iu a very comminuted form, sad in the
exact coudi lion most easily asHirumilatod
by such plants as the farmer desires to
ctilyvatc. fcj,
