measure merely, but as an economic measure as well \ believing it the best 

 plan as a matter of policy alone. As was expected, the consequences have 

 proved most happy. The class of people attracted thereby are the best 

 class of people ; and those who were kept away are those whose presence 

 would have been a disadvantage. It is estimated that the total saving of 

 money thus insured is at least five hundred thousand dollars per annum ; 

 and the percentage of pauperage and crime in the place is much lower 

 than in any other community of equal numbers. The great and far-reach- 

 ing moral effects, which, as time goes on, must result, are pleasant to think 

 of, but quite too vast to compute ; and the founder of Vineland, if he has 

 done nothing else, merits applause for his sagacity in instituting, and for 

 the steady determination with which he resisted some early attempts to 

 break down, this defence. 



But he has done something else. Further to promote the physical and 

 mental improvement and happiness of the people, he organized an educa- 

 tional system on liberal principles, which, in due time, led to the formation 

 of numerous societies and schools, through whose efforts much of the de- 

 sired good has been made attainable. A. B. Cranddl.

 ing. If we said that there was none of more vigorous constitution, we 

 should exceed the truth; though, in this respect, the Comtesse de Chabril- 

 land is quite equal to many other perpetuals. It grows very well on the 

 Manetti stock ; but we have found it less long-lived than some other varie- 

 ties. Its shape is so perfect, and its soft, clear flesh-color so attractive, that 

 it is always a favorite flower with the English exhibiters of roses ; and that 

 vivacious and entertaining amateur, the Rev. Mr. Radclyffe, seems never 

 tired of extolling its attractions. The crowd of new roses which make 

 their debut every spring from the prolific gardens of the French rose-grow- 

 ers rapidly eclipse, by the mere power of youth and novelty, the favorites
