FROZEN POTATOES.

The results of repeated experiments show that
potatoes injured by frost are not rendered value
less but that very good -four meal may be
prepared from them, if the weather continue
sufficiently cold to permit of repeated lhawing and
freezing by this process, properly conducted
and continued, the watery particles are expelled
and The inner part Of vegetable substance is grad
ually converted into meal. The meal or -four
thus formed, can be readily separated from the
ouler skin or peel NJ. Einhof exposed soft
wntery potatoes to the action of frost, and OBJ
tanned very superior -four, which was preserved
in good condition for two years, even in a damp
cellar. When it happens, in consequence of the
unusual severity OF the season. that large quant-
ties OF potatoes are injued by Frost excellent and
nourishing meal may by this process he prepared
thererom, with very little expense or trouble
Travellers relate that in the native country of the
potatoe, the more elevated and colder regions of
Peru, the inhabitants expose Quantities of this
vegetable to the action of frost, for similar pnr.
pose After repeated alterations of freezing and
thawing the whole mass is thrown into kind oi
vat and well kneaded or trodden with their feet to
separate the skins or peels 1t is then put into
coarse bags, and placed in stream of clear run

1.-THE LAND WHICH NO MORTAL MAY KNOW"

Though Earth has full many beautiful spot,
As poet painter might shows
Yet lovely and beautiful, holy and bright,
To the hopes of the heart, and the spirits glad sight,
Is the land that mortal may know.
There the crystalline stream bursting from the Throne,
Flows on, and forever will flow;
Its waves they roil with melody rife,
And its waters sparkling with beauty and life,
In the land which mortal may know.
And there on its margin, with leaves green,
With its fruits healing sickness and woe,
The fair of life in its glory and pride,
Is fed by the deep, incxhaustible tide
OF the land which mortal may know.
There, too are the lost whom we ovd on this earth
With whose memros our bosoms yet glow;
Their reques gave to tho place of the dead,
But their glorfed spirits before us have fled
To the land which mortal muy know.
There the pale orb of Night and the fountain of Day,
Nor beauty splendor bestowj
But the presence of HIN, the unchanging AN!
And the holy, the pure, the Immaculate LAMB.
Light the land which mortal may know.
Oh who but must pine, in this dark vale Of tears,
From its clouds and its shadows togo,
To walk in the light of the glory above,
And to share in the peace, and the joy and the love,
of the Land which mortal may know.

THE ARAR HORSE.

A most moving incident, illustrative of the ex-
traordiuary strength, as well rs attachment of the
Arab horse, is given by Larnenne, In his beauii-
ful Travels in the East:
"An Arab chief with his tribe had attacked in
the night caravan OF Damascus, and plundered
it when loaded with their spoil, however, the
robbers were overlnken in their return by some
horsencn OF the PaCha OF Acre, who killed several
aud bound The remainder with cords. In this
state of bondage they brought one of the prisoners,
named Abou eI Marock, TO Acre, and laid him,
bound hand and foot, wounded us he was, at the
entrance of their tent, us they slept during the
night. Kept awake by the pain of his wounds,
the Arab heard his horse neigh at little distance,
mud he being DESTROYS that lie might stroke for
the last time, the companion OF his life, he drug
gel himself, bound MS he WINS, to his horse which
was picketed at iillle distance. Poor friend
said he, what will you do among the Turks?-
You will he shut under the roof of khan with
the horses OF pacha, or an aga no longer will
the omen and the children OF the tent bring you
barley, Gamers milk, or d0urrd IN the hollow Of
their hands; no longer will you gallon free as the
wind of Egypt IN the desert 10 longer will you
cleave with your bosom The waters OF the Jordan,
which cool your sides pure as the foam of your
lips. If am TO he Il slave, at least may you go
free. Co. return 10 your tent which you know so
well tell my wife that Abou ell Mnrock will re-.

Of the tent, and hex The hands of my beloved

held the courser bound, and set him at liberty

POETRY.


Jenrt of tho People! Working men
Marrow and nerve Of human powers
who on your sturdy backs maintain
Through streaming time this world Of ours,
Hold by that title-whch proclaims
That We are undsmayod and strong,
Accomplishing whatever aims
May to the sons OF earth belong,
Yet not on thee alone depend
These Offices, or burthens fall
Labor for some or other end
is lord and master of all
The high born youth, from downy bed,
Must meet the morn with horse and hound,
While industry for daily bread
Pursues afresh his wonted round.
With all his pomp of pleasure, he
Is but your working comrado now,
And shouts aud winds his horn us 70
Might whistle by tho loom OF plough
In vain for him has wealth the use
of warm repose and careless joy
When, MS We labor to produce,
He strives, as active, TO destroy.
But who is this with wasted frame,
Sad signs of vigor overwroughti
What toll can This new victim claim'
Pleasure for pleasures sake besought
How men would mock her Haunting shows,
uor golden promise, If they knew
What weary work she is to those
Who have no better work TO do!
And he who still and silent sits
In closed room or shady nook,
And seems to nurse his idle wits
With folded arms or open book =
To things now working in that mind,
Your children's children well may owe,
Blessings that hope has meier defined,
Till from his busy thoughts they flow.
Thus all must work with head OF hand,
For self or others, good or i'll;
Life is ordained to bear, like land,
Some Fruit be falow as it will.
Evil has force itself to sow
Where we deny the healthy seed
And all our choice is this-to grow
Pasture and grain, or noisomo weed.
Then in content possess your hearts,
Unenvious of each others lot,-
For those which seem the easiest parts
Have travail which yo reckon not;
And he is bravest, happiest, best,
Who from the task within his span,
Earns for himself his evening rest,
And an increase of good for man,

~ The Anniversary Address of Hon. DANIEL
D. BARNARD Of Albany before the American In
stitutc and a very large auditory last evening,
was one Of the soundest and most thorough expo
sitions OF true National Policy and dcmonstra-
tons of the duty of Government to foster, pro-
tect and cherish the Industry of the Country, to
which we have listened. 1t was repete with
striking facts as well as passages of rare rhetorl-
cal felicity and beauty. What we liked best
about it was its fearlessness, or, the tmid and
vasclllaung would say, It's ultraism, in maintain
Ing the necessity and benefcence of Protection
to Home Interests AS the Institute have pro-
vided for the publication of this Address, and re-
quest that it should not be reported, we must be
content with stating of the considerations ad-
duced by Mr.. B. The Manufactures of this
country (spart from hose Of household fabrica-
tion) amount to no less than Three Hundred and
Fifty Millions OF Dollars per annum. Now this
is more than the aggregate value of all the
Grain, Sugar, Cotton and Tobacco purchased
from abroad by all the nations of the earth so
that if we were to surrender our Home Manufac
lures to the destruction which Free Trade would
inevitably draw after it, and If we could secure
in return the supplying of all nations with their
imported supplies of the great staples above
named, we should still be falling in debt 10 other
nations at the rate Of many millions per year
No nation ever did, ever could, ever can increase
in wealth and prosperity while importing her
Manufactures and selling raw Produce 10 pay for
them.
Gen. JAMES TALIMspGE, President of the In
stitute, made some pertinent remarks at the OPEN
ing and close of the evening, and several airs by
the Naval Band and songs admirably sung by
the Hutchinson Family agrecably diversified and
gave zest to the graves exercises OF the evening.
Gen. Tallmadge happily depicted the growth of
the Institute from room-full of despised and
almost hooted individuals to Its present position,
while j. has been faithful throughout TO the great
PRINCIPLES by which alone the National well-bcing
NAV be secured. He announced that, on account
of the continued ami increasing throng OF rlslters,
the Fair would be kept open till the middle OF next
week.
