California is destined to be the great
fruit growing portion of the country
Her vineyards are already immense, and
the wine product is increasing in a man
ner which is remarkable. Latterly at
teution has been directed to other fruits.
The orange, the lime, the lemon and the
walnut are all found to be suitable for
cultivation in the southern part of the
State, and their products are in quality
excellent, while the prices obtained for
the fruit yield such profit that scarcely
any other culture will give better re
suit. The orange pays at the rate of FROM
fifteen hundred to three thousand seven
hundred dollars per acre walnuts pay a
profit of from six hundred to one thous-
and dollars an acre. This is, of course,
after the trees arc full grown. The
orange, lime and lemon bear in their ninth
year. The olive has also been cultivated
with SO much success as to prove that it
will hereafter be a crop of great value.

Taken Aback.

YOUNG BLIFKINs, son of old Blif kins,
the banker-he of the Dolly Warden pants
and vest-was recently caught in a show
er, and took refuge under the portico of a
dwelling on Beacon street. A very at
tractive young lady-a pretty maiden
who sat by the open window, seeing his
situation, sent out a servant to him with
an umbrella. Blifkins went away in &C.
stacy, and on the following day, having
attired himself in most elaborate and
stunning array of starch and jewels, he
took the umbrella, which was an old one,
and laid it away with his treasures of con-
quest as souvenir; and then he went
forth to purchase an affair to replace it of
the most beautiful and costly kind. Thus
equipped he called upon the lady to re-
turn her flattering loan. She admitted
him to her presence, and received the UNI
brella without apparently noticing theex-
change; and it was not until she had lis
tened, with becoming gravity, to his dra-
matte acknowledgement that the truth
beamed upon her. She saw that he Ia
bored under the enchanting impression
that shehad been smitten by his appear
ance.
"Weally," said Blifkins, in a sweet,
poetic mood, "youah tender act touched
me. Aw, it touched me deeply-it did,
pom honaw."
Indeed, sir" replied the maiden, with
charming naivette, there was no need of
this gratitude on your part. As you
stood beneath our portico, you obstructed
my view of gentleman at an opposite
window, who had been observing me, and
and sent the umbrella, as the readiest
means to get rid of your unwelcome pres
enceP'
Blifkins went home and broke up the
old umbrella, and consigned its hated
fragments to the ash barrel.-Fat Contrib

cause his father put him there" said he,
at last, in rather q low voice.
That's it, my boy; then you see there's
something stronger than a rope to hold a
boy; duty, frankie, o6edience, that was
what held Casabianca steady, on the very
spot he was put in, until the ship blew
up. Was Julian tied up this morning as
well as your"
Nos said Frank, "Julian don't want
to run away; he's afraid"
"But Julian likes to go into the kitchen
with mamma, and see her make cake
why did he not gos"
"Julian's good" was the rather reluct-
ant answer.
Sand so he don't need any roper" said
Uncle Dan. ST once heard of another
boy-a little Dutch boy, who was one day
playing by himself, Just outside large
city, on bank built to keep the water of
a river from overfowing. He noticed q
little water trickling down the side of the
dyke, as it is called, and, STOPPING down
to look closely at it, he saw that there
was small hole through which the water
was leaking, and the hole was growing
larger every minute. 1t would not be
long before there would be q great open
ing in the dyke, and the water would
rush through and make q tremendous
food. As quick as thought he put his
hnger into the hole, Just like cork, and
stopped the leak. There he sat, not dar-
ing to take ii out, waiting for some one
to come by who could carry the news to
the city, and send men to stop the mis-
chief. But for hours and hours nobody
came, yet still he sat there; he must have
been very tired and hungry, and am
sure his fingers must have ached with
holding it so long in the same position,
but he never stirred until at last help
came. A great many boys would have
gone away, and not have cared what hap
pened. What kept him there!"
81 guess because it was right" said
Frank.
"That was il" said Uncle Dan. "Now,
frankie, are you going to be like horse
or a cow, that must be tied up to keep
them from running away, or like brave
boy that minds because he ought to? Are
you going to need a rope again;"
''Pll stay without a rope next time"
said frankie.
And that was the end of his running
away.-Christidn Union.

BAREFOOT.

On don't you remember the old hillside farm,
And the farmhouse with clap-boards SO gray, !,
With the garden Of roses, and sweet pinKs, anu
And the meadows with buttercups gays =.
And don't You remember how, indoors and OUT
And under the old orchard trees, ,,,r ohort
The gay, laughing children were Skipping eoou''
With bare feet, as busy as bees!
How we all played together, the girls and the
And had houses, and workshops, and stores,
Rag babies, and ''earthens," and just as much
Az sour voices could make out of doorsl
How we loved through the pastures and woodland
To gather bright mosses and fiowersl
We thought then, as now, there was mo place
And NO home so delightful as ours.
And don't you remember the pleasant school road,
And the schoolhouse so sunny in June,
With the lessons we learned, and the marx that
And how we played ''pizenn at noons
Our sunbonnets, crumpled, hung over our necks
The summer wind played with our hair;
While the sun paid our faces its warmest respects,
And kissed our white toes that went bare
ow we climbed the steep hillsides as nimbie as
And skipped DER the lodges in gee:
We mimicked the woodlark and whippoorwili's
And sung with the chick a-dee-dee.
We waded the brook when the water was low,
And shouted to make the WOODS ring,
Or PLAYED on its banks In the summers soft glow
Light hearted as birds on the wing.
You remember the pond where the geese used tc
swim,
How we called it the ocean go wide,
And in an old hat that was minus the brim,
And when they had cruised all the wide ccear
through,
And outdone both Magellan and Cook,
We drew them all home in an old ragged shoe,
And called it q coach-ride they took.
How we danced in the mud with our bare, naked
feet,
And played twas the Dutch way to churnl
We made us mud biscuits and plum cake SO sweet
Without any cook book tel earn.
How we ptied the children whose stockings ant
shoes
Forbade them tc share in our funi
While we stirred up puddings, and pastries ant
stews,
And left them to cook in the sun.

Do People Read Advertisements /!

THERE is now and then person so stu
pid as to believe that advertisements in
the newspapers are not generally read,
and that money expended in advertising
is practically wasted. Even such viii
concede that If a hundred men of polite
address, of fluent speech and ready wit
were to call upon a hundred others and
get the ears of each long enough to say
John Smith, or Jones, or Thompson, at
such place, has such and such goods at
such prices, or would sell farm or house
and lot, or had lost a horse or pocket
book, or would loan money, etc.-we say,
such men will concede that the services
of this hundred men would be of great
value to Smith or Jones, and in some
manner advantageous to the party to
whom this statement was made This
one hundred men could not be employed
to go from door to door, and make this
statement 10 ten thousand people, at less
than a cost of several hundred dollars
each trip. All this is done by the news
paper at a cost of few shillings, or a. few
dollars at most, and the visits are made
week after week and day after day. The
messenger who travels, addresses himself
to the ear, and takes the party addressed
when he may have his thoughts absorbed
in business or other matters; but the
newspaper reaches the party sought
through the eye, when the reader has his
thoughts solely fixed upon the paper be-
fore him.
But those who affect to believe that
there is little use in advertising urge as
an objection that the advertisements are
not read. They can easily be convinced
of their error in this respect by making
inquiry. Let them insert an advertise
ment offering to purchase some article
that is tolerably plenty in the market,
and they will be flooded with offers to
sell before the ink of the advertisement is
dry. An enterprising weekly that has
circulation of one, two or three thousand
copies, is in a position to do the village
merchant great good, and for which, as
rule, the publisher does not get one fourth
of what he justly deserves. In its
sphere, the weekly is of quite as much
service to the advertiser as is the daily,
and oftentimes enjoys the privilege of
being the exclusive family visitor, priv
ilege the daily seldom has.-UniOn and
Advertiser Rochester, ~ T.

tempt it now. I walked coolly up to her.
A large valise stood on end by her side.
"Mrs. George" said 1, ''I'll thank you
for that ten thousand"
never saw such face on any mortal
being in my life. All the vitality seemed
struck out of it; it was white, dull, and
dead, with dusky, frightened, shining
eyes almost starting from their sockets. l
did not know whether she meant to
scream, to swear, or to run. She gave a
gasp or two, and half rose, but Stars
"Please to keep your seat, madam" sent
her back.
Upon my soul, after the first moment of
gratified revenge, / pitied the poor
woman; saw only my gentle, refined
housekeeper. with her soft, pleading eyes.
