v V i , i..iif a ; tury ngo, says , in da) on, two lUUo boy cousins i it together earnestly speculating ou tliu arrival of a beloved aunt, just from the South, with a big trunk reported to be laden with tropical fruits exprc?? ly for the children. Very goon their expectancy was relieved by the receipt of a ripo golden orange, each. Now at that day tho orange was so rarely seen by us that it was encircled with tho glamour of romance, an exotic bo costly that when we occasionally got a pale, half-wilted specimen, it was care fully peeled and divided into compart ments enough to give every member of the family a taste.. Rut here each cousin held in his hands a whole globe of fresh and succulent delight, to dis pose of and enjoy according to his own will. Without pausing for a moment to admire the beauty or snuff the ex ternal fragranco of his fruit, the first hurriedly tore it open, and burying his face in the luscious pulp, squirting me ncu j nice jrem nis n&ir iot;is reels, swallowing what he niannged to get in about thre gulps, threw the skin into tho street, aud wished ho had another. The other cousin meanwhile handled his golden gift as if it had beeu "a gem too rich for use," tenderly manipula ting its yielding plumpness, voluptu ously inhaling its refreshing fragrance, and when ho could no longer abstain, carefully opened a pinhole in one end, bucking samples of the contents, like a modest gauger, until ha had extracted the last drop from tho precious cask. Tho Seeds, accurately counted, were kept to plant an orangery, and the skin dutifully delivered to mamma to flavor a promised cake. As might readily have been fore peen, when these boys became men, the first stuckhis two thumbs into this world, recklessly tearing it opcu as be had done this orange, devouring estate, body and soul in three greedy swallows, dyiug at twenty-seven, so palled with the flavor of this life that he scarcely wished for another. Tho careful cousin, now past three score years, is sucking his portion through a pinhole, still straining for the last sweet drop, having squeezed his world until it is flat, stalo and unprofitable as a ship biscuit after a long voyage. A Plaster on His Nose. . One day last week a Newark chap walked down Broad street, with a plas ter on bis nose, and the following crit icisms were passed upon him by his fellow citizens within the short distance between Central avenue and. Market street : "Nice looking rooster, that is." "Been on a fearful spree aud barked his nose on a lamp post." "You always know a man' by his uose." "Been sassin' his wife and got hit over the nose with a steam pan." "Tried td come it over some fellow nnd got whaled, and served him right." "Got a lager beer nose and trying to !;ideit." "Must have blowed fearful hard ou that horn to burst it that way." "That fellow's carrying a plaster advertisement dodge, but the thing on't work." "Nice old rum blossom that is; if had it I'd stay in the house and not i) seen by anybody." And yet the subject of all these un haritable remarks got his nose skinned prying to get into a crowded revival niecting. A lazy boy makes a lazy man, just j Bure as a crooked sapling makes a rooked tree. Who ever saw a boy row up in idleness that did not make i shiftless vagabond when he became i taan, unless he had a fortune left him ti keep up appearances ? The great nass of thieves, criminals and paupers Ave come to what they are, by being ' rought up in idleness. Those who onstitutc the business part of the com iunity those who rnaka our great a J useful men, were taught in boy- od to be industrious.

Tho following is an extract from a tie, scription of Vineland, published in the New York Tribune, by the well-known Agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the "well to do" sort, and some of them, who havo turned their attention to fruits and market gard ening, havo grown mil. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clavev, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows in which deposts of peat or muck arc stored, hulticicnt to fertilize tho whole upland sur face, alter it has betvi exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most extensive fu tile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farm ing, that wo know of this side of tho Wont cm prairies. Wo found some of tho old est farms apparently just as profitably productive as when iirst cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of thin continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through tho boil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in tho form of indurated calcareous mail, show ing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of tho Tertiary formation ; and this marlv substance is scattered all through the soil, iu a very comminuted font, and in tho exact condition most easily issinimilatud by tucli plants as the farm r desires to cid'ivatc. tru JOB WORK DONK At THE "REPUBLICAN" OFFICE At the lowest cath prices, neatly, promj'. hj, an J in ttyh equtl t that of aty other establishment in the District, -:ot- BUSINESS CARDS, SHOW CARDS, VISITING C Alibi, SCHOOL CARDS WKDDING CARDS, PROGRAMMES, INVITATIONS, BALL TICKETS, ADMISSION TICKETS,; ENVELOPES BILL HEADS, LETTER HEADS, NOTE HEADS, CIRCULARS, BLANKS, POSTERS.
