The wife. tits not unfrequeny that the wife
mourns over the aenated affections OF her husband
when she has made no effort herself to strengthen
and increase his attachment She thinks because
he once loved her, he ought always to love her, and
she neplecs those attentions which gained his heart
MANY a wife is thus the cause of her own neglect
and sorrow. The woman deserves not husbands |
love who will not greet him with smiles when he
returns from the abors Of the day, or who will not
chain him to his home by the sweet enchantment of
cheerful heart. There is not one in thousand
SO unieeng as to withstand such an influence and
break away from such home.
Ho,o 10 gel neic uarieties of Potatoes. When the
vines are done growing and are turning brown, the
seed is ripe then take the balls and string with
large needle and small thread; hang them in dry
place, where they will gradually dry and mature,
without danger of injury from frost In the month
of April, soak the balls for several hours IN water,
then squeeze them, to separate the seed from the
ing in rows, in bed well prepared in the garden
they will sprout in fortnight; they must be atten-
! ded to like other vegetables. When about two in
ches high, they may be thinned and trarsplanted
into rows As they increase in size they should be
killed. In the autumn many OF them VIII be oil the
size of u walnut, and from that to Il pea. In the
following spring. they should be planted in hills,
placing the large ones together-they will in the
second season attain their full size, and will eXhlb
il several varieties of form, and may then be Sc
lected TO suit the judgment OF the cultivator. |
would prefer gathering the balls from potatoes of
a good kind. The first crops from seeds thus OBJ
tanned will be very productive, and will continue
so for many years, gradually deeroratng, until
they will again need a renewal by the same pro-
cess.-.4mer, Fdr.
Cows and Oxen should be thoroughly curried
every day, in winter. And this Duty ii not attend
ed to by the farmer himself, should be entrusted to
those only who will faithfully perform it.

Hater for Stoci Every farmer should see that
his stock is well provided with water. This is of
the greutest Importance, in a season when they
need large supply from their living on dry food.
1t is much the best to have water in the yard if pos
sible, as this will save much time in the manage
ment of animals, and the saving Of manure by
this mode is an important item.
Some farmers consider the advantage of having
water in the barn yard, equal to the interest of $500
and others equa. to the interest Of thou
sand dollars Many who have not this advan-
tage could procure it at q cost of so or lO0
the interest of which sums would be only 8 or sc
annually, mere trifle, compared to the saving Of
time and manure, and the superior comfort and
thrift Of animals, that would naturally result
from such privilege, which is within the means
of almost every farmer.-BOston CuHiuator.
Fire and Loss Of Life In Piermont, N. H., on
Wednesday night Of last week, the dwelling house
of Mr.. Simeon Underhill was destroyed by fire, and

into the chamber where her brother slept, tc
get some cotton batting, into which a spark from
the light fell. The cotton took fire, but the cir
supposed that she had eXtnguished it: and wen,
midnight the house was in flames, resulting in the
catastrophe related above. The neighbors are bu

Madison wisconsin, Argus, of Dec 5, that ,
young nan named Henry Slaughter at Cottage

came upon deer, at which Slaughter discharged
one of the guns, and hastily selling rife by the
muZZle which lay across the wagon seat, and draw

which raised 1t sufficiently to explode the cap as
returned, and the ball was discharged through hi,
breast and killed him almost instantly. Percuss
