We perceive by letter from Samuel
Preston, esq. of this state, to the editor
of the New-England Farmer, that, the
former gentleman has succeeded in
raising two crops Of potatoes in one
wear from the same seed. Our farmers
would do well to notice the result OF
this experiment, and bear IN NINA .nal
it was only produced from choosing
the yery largest potatoes for seed, and
nlantine them whole. Potatoes are, we
beI;eyc the most profitable crop that
the farmer raises, and we seldom hear

PATHETIC NARRATIVE.

The remarkable fine bells of Limerick Ca
thedral were originally brought from Italy they
had been manufactured by a young native
(whose name tradition has not preserved,) and
finished after the toll Of many years; and he
prided himself upon his work. They were sub
sequently purchased by the prior Of the neigh
boring convent; and with the profits of this sale
the young Italian procured little villa, where he
had the pleasure of hearing the tolng of his
bells from the convent cliff, and growing old in
the bosom of domestic happiness. This, how
ever, was not to continue. In some of those
broils, whether civil or foreign, which are the
undying worm of a fallen land, the Italian was
a sufferer amongst many. He lost his all and
after the passing of the storm, found himself
preserved alone, amidst the wreck of fortune,
friends, family, and home. The convent in
which the bells were hung was RACED to the
earth, and these last carried away into another
land The owner, haunted by his memories,
and deserted by his hopes, became wanderer
over Europe. His hair grew gray. and his heart
withered, before he again found home or
friend. In this desolation of spirit, he formed
the resolution Of seeking the place to which
those treasures Of his memory had been finally
borne He sailed for Ireland--proccede up the
Shannon---the vessel anchored in the pool, near
Limerick and he hired small boat for the pur-
poot vi ldtldlllS. me Clty was HOW DtlOfe MIN,
and he behed St Marys steeple lifting its tur-
reted head above the smoke and mist Of the
Old Town. He sat at the stern and looked fond
ly towards it. 1t was an evening 50 calm and
beautiful as to remind him Of his own native
skies in the sweetest time of the year---he death
Of the spring. The broad stream appeared like
one smooth mirror, and the little vessel glided
through it, with almost noiseless expedition.
On a sudden, amidst the general stiffness, the
bells tolled from the Cathedral-th rowers rest
ed on their oars, and the vessel went forward
with the impulse it had received The old TIA
liam looked towards the city, crossed his arms
on his breast, and lay back in his seat; home,
happiness, early recollection, friends, family,
were all in the sound, and went to the heart
When the rowers looked round they beheld him
with his face still turned towards the Cathedral,
but his eyes were closed and when they landed

of grey colour, but being bleached it becomes
beautiful white and takes the various dyes
readily when spun. 1t is curious fact that two
borders are attached to the shawls after fabri-
cation, so dehcately, that no eye can detect the
place Of junction 4he valley Of Cashmere
has been celebratcdfrom the most early times
fer its beauty. Nothing can exceed its roman
tic advantages from nature In the centre of
plain near the lake of Cashmere, studded with
little isles, were the gardens and pavilions Of
the Mogul Emperor, where the mobiles made an
nual visits to feast on the charms of this lovely
valley, and TO choose wives from among the beau
tful girls of Cashmere whose decacy of com
plexion and symmetry of form were only sur

liveliness of their dispositions, and the sweet,
ness of their tempcrs

and in the world of saints, where their happi-
ness Wea,ld be pure. She babe him an affection
ate fl ell---and sunk silently into the arms of
death
AEfRED stood for some time, gazing with be
widered fondness on the hfeless form that Law
before him He seemed scarcely conscious of
the scene which surrounded him, and it was
nearly an hour before he could collect himself
sufficiently to 60 and awake the remainder of
the family. He walked the room during the rest
of the night, scarcely knowing where he was,
or what be was.
The rising sun brought a new scene to his
troubled bosom it rose to be sure, as it usual
" had done, in all its brightness; but it seemed
wholly different to ALFRED, who had been ac-
oustomed to enjoy its first beams with his be-
loved HARRIET. He walked out and seated
himself by the side of soft, murmuring stream,
overshadoved by wide spreading oak, beneath
whose branches they had spent many very ma
ny pleasan hours together. There his heart
found vent to its feelings in a flood of tears his
soul became more calm, and he returned to his
dwelling
The first pangs Of grief were over, and he
could now, without faltering, assist in making
preparations for her funeral, which was to take
place the day following lie caused her grave
their usual place ofresort, during their moments
of happiness. He remained serene, and as much
resigned as could be expected, till the day of
her funeral He saw their numerous friends and
acquaintance collecting almost universally to
pay their last respects to one whom he thought
superior to all other earthly objects, and it gave
him satisfaction. During the sermon he was so
Tenn and attentive, and when the clergyman
addressed him separately, he took every word
to his heart. He followed her to the grave,
where the coffin was opened to take last view
Of its contents. He bore the sight with compo-
sure, till the lid was closed forever upon the OBJ
jcct of his affections lit was then he felt his
heart chilled-he saw her let safely into the
grave; the first shovel full Of dirt, as it rung
upon the coffin, pierced his heart his head be-
came wildered, and he would have sunk to the
. earth, bat for some Of his friends who stood near
and caught him.
He was carried home senseless. and remained
50 for some hours when he recovered so as to
be able to walk. TIE shades Of evening were fast
spreading the landscapes; he went out,
plucked a spriu from a wild bush, that
grew near the house, went to her grave, and
planting it in the green turf that embosom-
Ell her remains, knelt down by the side of the
little mound, and offered up to heaven devout
prayer that he might be enabled to bear his loss
with composure, and be assisted in the pathway
OF his duty, SO as to be enabled to meet her
again In the realms of bliss
He ha, since caused a tomb stone to be erect
cd with an inscription expressive Of his senti-
ments. The wild rose which he planted there,
on the evening of her funeral, has spread so
that ITS branches cover the whole grave. His
mind has become settled, but solemn He has

Oh that dreams were not dreams, for mine
have been [grown
The shadows of my hopes. Thence have
In love with ideal forms. In youth saw
Most beauteous beings in mine hours of sleep;
Fair maidens with their bright and sunny locks
Falling DER necks whose hue was Of the snow,
O'er bosoms whose soft throbbings not the veil
Of gossamer could hide fiom the tranced eye.
I saw, when that my cheek had lost its down,
And Iwrote MAN, world of glittering words
Writ by the hand of health upon that leaf
Of human life. l saw bright swords, brave
plumes,
And slaves Of ofice-pbes Of honor-all
That speak of high employment, and awards
Of national emprises. Other thoughts
That were, by day, hopes, and in slumber,
dreams.
Came to me, of my line continued in'
Illustrious heirs. The boy upon my knee
Became Socrates, and he who played
With the dark ringlets on his mothers brow,
The saviour of realm. The little maid
Who, lost in mimic tenderness, caressed
A pasteboard emblem of our helpless state,
l welded to warrior, sworn and pledged
To die as had his fathers, at the call
Of liberty.
Time few, and am now
An aged man with hoary hair, and step

Of dreams, but they are Of the world whereto
Age, and hopes crushed, are hurrying me-

In slumber an offended God, begirt

Of his dominions. They who represent
Truth, Peace, and Justice, ask the darker
doom
Upon my head, for had wildly erred'
But Mercy, darling child Of the Most High,
Pleads for me, and prevails. hear avoice
Ring through the spheres of heaven-a voice
of love
Pronouncing pardon, and join the choir
That worships, and shall worship him cter-
