Packing of Oranges and Lemons.

A full grown orange tree yields from 500
to 2, 900 fruit annually, and arrives at the
bearing state in three or five years, as does
the lemon tree: both grow luxuriantly in
moist Soils The plantations (in the Medi-
terranean countries) are called gardens, and
vary in size, the smallest containing only
small number of trees, and the largest many
thousands. The fruit is gathered in bas-
kets similar to peach baskets, lined with
canvas, the basket being held by strap
attached and passed around the neck and
shoulders. From the garden, the fruit goes
to the repacking magazine, where 1T is re-
moved from the boxes, in which it was
packed in the gardens, and repacked Tor
shipment by experienced female packers,
after having been carefully assorted by
women, and wrapped in separate papers by
young girls. AS many rs 800 (mostly
women and children) are employed by some
of the fruit growers in their gardens and
magazines, in gathering, sorting and re-
packing for shipment, the wages paid them
varying from nine to sixteen cents day.
In sorting, every fruit that wants stem is
| rejected. The boxes are then securely COW
cred, strapped and marked with the brand
of the grower, when they are ready for
shipment. Twenty years ago, this trade
was nothing in it's national characteristics,
or the inducements it offered to capitalists.
Now it is progressing with giant strides in
to prominence, and is a considerable source
of revenue to the Government.

sambo's Tax Receipt.
From the Dawson, (Ga.,) journal,

FROM the DaHsOQ, Ita.,J JOufudi-
A negro living in neighboring county,
having been fortunate enough to accumulate
considerable of this worlds goods, desired,
as all loyal subjects should, to pay tax ON
the same. 1t being new business to him,
he did not know there was q proper officer
for receiving the tax, and concluded all that
was necessary was to find a man with
white skin.
Consequently he hailed the first man he
met with, sSay, boss, want to pay my tax;
mus glib it to you?" On being told it
would be received by the comprehending
white gentleman, the negro gave him $50,
and asked if that was enough. 81 suppose
| it is,'' said the white man. Boss, GIN
me showin' for dat, " said the negro. Again
the wits Of the white man were at work,
and he soon handed the negro slip OF
paper, with the inscription: As Moses
| lifted the serpent out Of the wilderness,
| likewise have lifted $25 out of this did
negro's pocket.
| Not long after this the negro met the tax
collector proper. '.Done paid it, boss, and
here's de 'ceipt, at the same time handing
the piece OF paper to the officer. He read
As Moses lifted the serpent out of ths
wilderness, likewise have lifted $50 out o.

he is still looking for the man to whom q

POETRY.
The Two Homes.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.

My home was seated high aud fair
Upon mountains side;
The day was longest brightest there:
Beneath, the world was wide.
Across this blue, embracing zone,
The rivers cleaned, the cities shone.
And over the edge of the fading rim
l saw the storms in the distance dim,
And the fash of the sonnGless thunder
But weary grew the sharp, cold whine
Of winds that never kissed,
The changeless green of fir and pine,
The gray and cinging mist
Above the granite sprang no bowers;
The soil gave low and scentless flowers;
And the drone and din of the waterfall
Became challenge, taunting call:
'''Tis fair, it's fair in the valley.'
OF all the homesteads deep and far
My fancy clung to Que,
Whose gable burned, a mellow star,
Touched by the sinking sun.
Unseen around, but not unguessed,
The orchards made leafy nest
The turf before it was thick, knew,
And bees were busy the garden through,
And the windows were dark with roses.
"'Tis happier there, below sighed;
''The World is warm and near,
And closer love and comfort hide,
That cannot reach me here.
Who master is must be so blest
He'll share with me his sheltered nest.
If down to the valley l shoHld go,
Leaving the granite, the pines and snow,
nd tha
1 wandered down, by ridge and dell:
The way was rough and long;
Though earlier shadows round me fell,
cheered them with my song.
The worlds great circle narrower grew.
Till hedge and thicket hid the blue;
But over the orchards, near at hand,
The gable shown ON the quiet land,
And far away was the mountain!
Then came the master; mournfuleyed
And stern of brow was he:
SO, planted in such peace !" l cried,
"Spare but the least to mel'
"Who seeks. he said, '' this breeding haze
The tameness of these weary days
The highways dust, the glimmer and heat,
The woods that fetter the young winds feet.
And hide the world and its beauty g.
He stretched his hand; he looked afar
With eyes of old desire;
l saw my home, mellow star,
That held the sunsets fire.
But yonder home, y he cried . how fair
Its chambers burn like gIlded air:
know that the gardens are wild as dreams,
With the sweep of winds, the dash of streams,
And the pines that sound as an anthem!
80 quiet, 50 seren aly high
1t sits, when clouds are furled.
And knows the beauty of the sky,
The glory of the world!
Who there abides must be 40 blest
He'll share with me that lofty crest,
IF up to the mountain | should go,
Leaving the dust and the glare below.
And the weary life of the valley!

A PRETTY PRISON SToRY.-A prisoner in
the Missouri penitentiary, to weak to work,
and who had the run of the yard, one day
asked the warden if he could be allowed to
cultivate small corner of the inclosure.
ssWhat do you want to raise?" "Ca-
cumbers, sir. !" 'sWhy, you can't raise them
here; the other prisoners would steal them"
g No, SIR said the man firmly; s'they will
steal any of them .sWen, go ahead, said
the warden; :'if any of your cucumbers are
stolen, don't come to me with your COM
plaints.' 'fYou will never hear from me on
that score, SIR The cucumbers were plant
ed, watered, trained and cultivated, and an
immense crop was the result. As fast, how
ever, as the fruit ripened it disappeared,
and the wa rden became convinced that the
owner sold it for liquor, produce, Or some
other contraband artiel He directed the
man to be watched, and finally he W as de-
tected in the act of carrying his eucumbers
to the hospital and giving them to the poor
fellows who in their sickness crayed them.
Not one had been stolen.
WHAT rs JUTE? --Jute is fibrous plant
that grows to a high stalk varying from six
| to twelve feet high. It is raised in the low
lands Of the East Indies. The Jute planta-
tions are operated somewhat on the system
| of rice plantations. The water used fol-
| flooding purposes is taken from rudely con-
structed reservoirs filled by the melting
snow of the Himalaya Mountains The
plant is kept growing in about eighteen
| inches of water, which prevents the parch-
ing rays of tropical sun from destroying
| it. When the stalk has attained its growth
it is pulled up by the roots or cut off near
the roots. It is then laid out in bales like
wheat or rye, and prepared for market.
A young man at Austin, New, the cthe
day, made 4 serious mistake. He bought ;

self. He delivered the wrong bundle to TIL

battered frying pan.
