PROVIDENCE ALMANAC FOR 1874
We hava received q specimen Of
Moore's Providence Almanac for 1874.
1t contains all that was promised in the
prospectus, which we have already pub
lished, embracing as will be rccollected,
among other useful matters, a Business
Directory Of Providence, Newport,
Warren, Bristol Pawtucket and Woon-
socket, in this State, and Fall River
Mass, together with neatly engraved

much more correct than the Directory
published last year, and is well worth

A BALLAD.
BY TOM HOOD, JR.

Their lived an honest fshe rman,
/ knew him passing we'll
Who dwelt hard BY little pond,
Withina little dell.
A grave and quietm was he,
Who loved his hook and rod,
So eDen ran his line Of life,
His neighbOrs thought it odd.
For science and for books he said
He never had wish.
No school to him was worth fig,
Except school Of fish,
This single minded fisherman
A double calling had
To tend his flock in winter time,
10 sum mer, fish for shad.
Ia short, this honest fisherman
AllOther tolls lOrsooR,
And though no vOgrant man was he,
He lived by 'hoOk and crook
| All day that fisherman would sit
!. Upon an ancient log,
And gaze into the water, like
Some sedentary frog.
i A cunning fisherman was he,
His angles all were right
And when he scratched his aged poll,
You'd know he'd got bite.
To charm the fish he never spoke,
Although his voice was 6ne-
He found the most convenient way
Was just 10 drop line.
And many 'gudgeen' Of.he pond,
Ifmade to apeak t" day, ..
Would own, with grief, this angler had
A mighty taking nag
/ One day, while fishing on the log,
He mourned his want of luck
When suddenly he felt bite,
Andjerking, caught duck.
i Alas that day the fisherman
Had taken TO much grog,
And being but landsman too,
He couldn't keep the log
IN gain he strove, with all his might,
And tried 10 gain the shore;
Down, down, he went, to feed the fish.
He'd baited oft before!
The moral of this mournful tale
To all is plain and clear:
A single drop Too much ofrum
May make watery bier.
And he who will not sign the pledge
lE And keep The promise fast,
May be, in spite Of fate, a stiff

VIM. T. PERRY .

The Editor Of the Chicago, Democrat,
who has Just been elected to congress,hss
begun to taste the sweets of Office. In
his last paper he says:
"A charming young grass widow came
into our office one day lts. week, and re-
peated TO US loug story Of her malrimO'
niBl suferings, the chief Of which was
that the husband she tenderly loved would
not stay at home but kept wandering a.
bout the country, and would nat take hef
with him. She cried most pitIifully 10
she progressed in her daily wrongs. Fl
nalIy she wound up her lamentations by
stating thai the court would do nothing
for her, and the legislature would do
nothing for her; and she had come to
present her claims TO Congress. Upon
my telling her that congress could do
nothing for her, she was astonished at
our ignorance, as she had seen, almost
every winter, accounts of bills intro
duced for the relief Of several ladies'; and
it would be great relief to her TO BE-
divorced, so that she could marry man
who would live at home. And the poor
afflicted creature thought thai President
Tyler wonId not veto the bill, five could
only get it passed, as her husband was
the strongest kind Of a Clay man.
"Well, this is getting into business Ve-
~ fast. First, we have TO give all our
friends an office. Second, We have to
divorce all unhappy couples. Eight dOis
lars day is too cheap for such work.

GATHERING POTATOES.

IRISH potatoes, if it is desirable 10 have
them in all their excellence, should never
have the sun shine en- them after they are
dnp. and should be exposed TO the air
and light as little as may be. Potatoes
ni,ted or buried in holes in the field, Re.
lain their freshness aud qualities much
later than those put in open bins 10 the
cellar: and the farmer will always do w6lI
TO have few Pitted for springus The
necessity for this may in great meas+
ure be obviated by lining the bsttom and
sides Of bin with turf, and when it is
filled, covering in the same manuer.-
Potatoes will keep perfectly sound and
good for years, ifplaced so low in the
earth as 10 have temperature too low
f1r vegetation. Experiments made ii Z
compact soil, on the north side OF bull.
dinps or walls show that four or FIVE feet
will usually be sufficient; in lighter or
more porous soil, greater depth Is re-
ouisite. No wafer in sny case should
stand on potatoes, as ii will soon destroy
them. Ifpotatoes are dug and pltted
