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
