DISOWNS TIE RELATIONSHIP.

Captain Tyler, poor fellow, is in bad
way. His pilgrimage to the north has
been anything but triumphant, and what
the influenza, and several other ellis that
flesh Is heir to-" he is surely to be pi,tied
The Madisonian, nevertheless, gives him
occasionally little soft soap. Hear
what ii says:
president Tyler is daily striking down
our Federal Wing foes, lifting up our Re
publican brothers, and pursuing the old
Jetfersonian course in the direction of his
administration F"
Now for,lhc Pennsylvania:
SO says the Madisonian; but as for this
''lilting up of our republican brothers,"
we must say ihat in the majority of the
cases, we disown the relationship. The
Madisonian may keep Its "brothers," to
itself"

SOLTTUDE.-A person of truly supe-
rior philosophic mind would seldom wish
to forego the inestimable privilege of
communing with himself. Sir Walter
Scott says in his diary-'Ftom the ear
Hest time Can remember preferred the
pleasures of being alone to wishing visi-
tors, and have often taken bannoch and
bit of cheese to the wood or hill, TO a.
void dining in company As grew from
boyhood to manhood, saw this would
not do, and to gain place in mems es

Pride and exaltation of spirits often.sup-
piled the real pleasure which others SEEM
ed to feel in society; yet mine certainly
upon many occasions was real. Still,
it the question was eternal company,
without the power ofretiring within your
self, or solitary confinement for lifa-l

Conversational PorerS.-Fluency II

Conversational Powers.-Fluency in
conversation must not be ascribed as
lest Of talent Men of genius and wis
dom have offer been found deficient in its
graces. Adam Smith ever retained in
company the embarrassed manners of
student Neither Button nor Rousseau
carried their eloquence into society. The
silence of the poet Chaucer was held
more desirable than his speech The
conversation of Goldsmith did not evnce
the grace and tenderness that character
ize his compositions. Thompson was
dIllldent ard often undressing. Dante
was taci1urn, and all the brilliancy of
Tasso was in his pen. Descartes SEEM
ed formed for solitude. Cowley was
quaint observer, his conversation was
slow and dull, and his humor reserved.
Hogarth and Smith were absentminded,
and the sludious Thomas Parker said
that he was fit for no communion save
with the dead Our own Hamilton,
Franklin aad host Of others, were def
cient in lhatSfuency which often iascin-

.arisiocratic Tastes Of The Eagle.-A
writer in Silliman's Journal, giving an
account of the birds of Connecticut, thus
describes an Eagle, domesicaled in his
yard. 1t was what Audubon calls "the
Washington Eagle"

Canaan in April, 1921, ard was sent to
me in Stralford by Mr.. J. Silliman. II.

that son Of Poland-to contemplate their
benevolence-their active zeal-their DIS
interested love of liberty. They are
stars of the first magnitude, and their
light shines to illuminate the world.
Their influence is IMMERSED and unboun-
ded, their "country is the world, their
coun.rymen mankind" Perchance it
may be their destiny to struggle hard
with adversely and msfortune-to over
come obstacles which seem almost in
surmountable, to meet the prejudice Of
some and the ridicule of others. They
may purchance die martyrs to the cause
which they advocate. Tyrants may ex-
uIt at their fall. The cold hand of OPP
preston may scatter its ne,lles over their
tombs, and consign them to oblivion; but
vain their exulta,ion, her dark sluggish
waters shall never close over them. Their
memories shall live to be cherished, and

was occasionally compelled to release
from his grasp such individuals as he had
taken captive. With one claw in the
sward and grass, he would hold quietly
any man with the other. My domestics,
both male and female, often felt this pow
err of his talons and grasp. He would not
allow their passing IN that yard. and long
acquaintance did not change his temper
towards them. If, however, such persons
passed HIM in the adjoining yard, TO the
door in the rear OF the house, he made
no complaints. What renders this truly
remarkable was, he had no training to
this purpose while in my possession, and
was wild when | received him."

Industry. Every young man should
remember that the world always has and
always will honor industry. The vulgar
and useless idler whose energies of mind
and body are rusting for want of exercise
the mistaken being who pursues a
muscment as a relief to his enervated
muscles, or energies in exercise that pro-
duce no useful, end, may look with scorn
on the smutty laborer engaged in his
toll But his scorn is praise. His con-
tempt is an honor. Honest industry
will secure the respect of the wise and
and good among men, and yield the rich
fruit Of an easy conscience, and give
that hearty self respect which is above all
price.
Toll on then, young men. Be dill
gent in business, improve the heart and
the mind, and you will find the well-spring
of enjoyment in your own souls, and
secure the confidence and respect of all
those whose respect is worth an effort to
o tain.

Potatoes.-Ne learn from the Farmers

Potaioes.-We learn from the Farmers
Encyclopedia. that potatoes were intro
duced from South America, by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh, about 1886. Sir Robert
Southwell, President of the Royal Society,
informed the Fellows, in 1893, that his
father introduced them into Irelad, having
received them from Sir Waller. They
long continued to be neglected by gardens
ers. In 1868, however, attention was
drawn to their extensive culture. But
notwithstanding the exerlions Of the Roy
al Society TO effec, this purpose, potatoes
did not become field crop till the early
part of the last century. They became
so in Scotland about 1880, day-laborer
of the name of Prentice having the honor
of first cultivating them largely two years
previously, Every county OF England
now grows them extensively. Lancas-
shire and Cheshire are particularly cele-
brated for them. In the counties round
London, especially in Essex, about tw"
thousand acres are annually cultivated
for supply ing the metropolis with this
root.

Kentucky has put her helm hard down
for paying her debts. She has, by wise
negotiation with her banks, corrected the
old mistake of giving State bonds for
bank shares, and exchanged back the
shares for the bonds, getting both parties
out of debt Her debt is by this opera
ton reduced to about three millions; and
to pay off this, the Legislature have impo-
sed heavier taxes than are paid in any
other State Most of the circulating
bonds for ft ur. five and six dollars, issued
in lS4l, to the amount of three hundred
thousand dollars, have been funded in
thousand dollar new bonds.-Jour. of

POETRY.
THE FIRST.
BY FRANCES BROWNE.

The first, the first! oh nought like it,
Our after years can bring,
For Summer hath no flowers so sweet
AS those of early Spring.
The earliest storm that strips the tree
Still widest seems and worst,
Whate'er hath been again may be,
But never as at first
For many bitter blast may blow
Ger life uncertain wave,
And many t,orny thicket grow
Between us and the grave;
But darker still the spot appears,
Where thunder-clouds have burst
Upon our green unblighted years
No grief is like the first
Our -bornjoy,-perchancc t was vain,
Yet that brief lightning DER,
The heart, indeed, may hope again,
But can rejoice no more.
Lille hath no glory to bestow-
Uniallcn and uncursed;
There may be many an after glow,
But nothing like the first!
The rays of life may light us on
Through Manhood's toll and strife,
But never can they shine as shone
The morning staIs Of life;
Though bright i. Summers rosy wreath,
Though long and tondly nurscd,
Yets,ill they want the fearless faith
Otthose that blest us first.
It's first love deep in memory
The heart forever bears;
For that was early given and free
Lies wheat without the taros.
1t may be Death hath buried deep,
1t may be Fate hath cursed
But yet no later love can keep
The grecnness of the first.
And thus, what e'er our onward way,
The lights or shadows cast,
Upon the dawning of our day
Are with us to the last.
But ali the morning breaks no more
On US, as once it buist
For future springs can ne'er restore
The freshness Of the first.
