SAMUEL MARSH.
THE POTATO DIsEAsE-REMEDY.

1t is the custom in Massachusetts, during the
session of the Legislature for the farmer members
and others 10 hold agricultural meetings, for free
conversation or dscusson-an excellent custom by
the way, which ought to be introduced in Vermont,
where majority of the members are farmers, and
might spend an evening week in such meetings
to good advantage to the State. But to return at
one of the recent meetings in Boston, the potato
disease was discussed, with these results:
The disease is not produced by manuring in the
the hill, excessive hot weather, or deterioration OF
seed. 1t probably is species of fungus.
The following will mol prevent the disease, viz
early planting late planting, high or low planting,
planting sward land, planting particular varie-
ties.
Lime ashes, plaster and charcoal were all spoli.
en- of having good effect against this disease,
but salt is recommended with rather more couf-
dence than either of the other. The foregoing we
gather from an article in the New-England Farm
er, and in another article we find that one aud u
half bushels of fine salt to the acre, sown broad
cast, and narrowed and rolled in was very advan.
tageous to corn, saving it from worms, which a.
bounded in the land on which the salt was sown.
In this piece Of corn, four rows of potatoes were
sown, and entirely escaped disease, while potatoes
from the same seed in another field were material
ly injured by the rust.

POLITICAL MINISTER'S OF CHRIST.
While believe that no earthly potentate is in n
situation 10 do half the good in purifying politics
for right action that can be done by the humbles,
minister of Christ; have some scruplcs about the
proprlety of clergymen acting as politicians. AS
my reasons may not satisfy others, shall give them
now only in part
Earth is the place for the dominion of politicians
blu; Jesus said, MY kingdom is not of this world.
If my kingdom were of this world, then would my
servants fight that should not be dcliv ered to the
Jews WHEN Jesus therefore perceived that they
would come and take Inn by force, to make him
King, he departed again into mountain himself
alone On another occasion, he said, Man, who
made me Judge or divlder over your TO his
disciples he snid, 'Tho kings Of the Gentles,
else lordship over them and they that exercise
thorty upon them are called benefactors. But We
shall not be so; but he that is greatest among you,

he that doth scrvc.-Ye are they which have con-
tlnued with me IN my temptations; and ! appoint

ture, it not to this IN particular, to prove the 'd
vine right of kings Others may think that they
here find democracy sanctioned, 'jure divino,' ma
king the ruler the servant of the people. But APP
prehend, Christs design was not to regulate poll
tics, as though he were master politician; but to
show his ministers that the special work, to which
he has called them, is by no means political; how
ever powerful bearing religion has on that subject
understand Paul to speak approved minis
ter of Christ, when he says, | determined not to
know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and

crucifed, and politics, identical, and thus the APP.

M Cldy's Generosity. Henry Clay has always
been eminently distinguished for his active benev-
olence, and generous philanthropy and liberality.
The following extract from q letter to one of the
editors, written by lady of deserved literary EN-.
inence in Pennsylvania, details one more instance
OF his kindness and generosity. 1t is one of ten
thousand similar instances which might be related:
This is rough country, and township with an
ignorant population and, as might be expected,
went for Mr.. Polk. Yet all that was liberal, or 10.
bic, or intelligent, was on the side of Mr.. Clay
may here mention an incident few years
ago, an old revolutionary soldier II knew him well,
he is now dead went on foot, meanly clad and in
moccasins, from this vicinity to Washington CITY,
for the purpose of procuring pension, to which he
deemed himself entitled. On his arrival, he was,
as is too often the case, treated with carelessness
and neglect. lie was friendless and moneyless,
and almost in a state of absolute despair when Mr.
Clay found him. The noble man immediately in.
quired into his circumstances and business took
him to store, clothed him decently, and then led
him to his own boarding house, where he maintain
ed him, at his own expense, several weeks, and
until his claim was fully established. He then gave
him two gold pieces, eagles; and shaking him bv
the hand babe him God-speed, and started him for
home. The old man This name was Robert Camp.
belD kept one of the gold pieces until his DEATH
lie never mentioned the name of Clay but with
tears of gratitude.
This is but one of ten thousand similar worthy
deeds. Who can point TO one such act on the part
of the President elect, Mr.. Polk? Oh, my coun-
try fear thou art unworthy of thy CLAr"

Turkish Parable. A traveller who spent some
tire in Turkey, relates beautiful parable which
was told him by dervis and which seems even
more beautiful than Sterne's celebrated figure of
the accusing spirit and the recording angel. Eve
ry man, said he, has two angels, one on his right
shoulder and one on lis left. When he does any
thing good, the angel on his right shoulder writes
1t down and seals it; because what is once well
done is done for ever. When he does evil the an.
gel upon his left shoulder writes it down, but does
not seal it. He waits till midnight Ifbefore that
time the man bows down his head and exclaims,
: Gracious allah! hare Sinned forgive me p the
angel rubs 1t out but if not, at midnight he seals
it, and the angel upon the right shoulder weeps.

old Pickle for PORK. Some persons place high
value old pickle for preserving pork, even as
high as dollar gallon, as they find that it pos
sesses superior properties for keeping the meat
sweet and good. IL beng already charged with
the juices of the meat it will not readily extract
them from fresh lot with which it comes in con-
tact They who value this article SO highly, saving
ltfor six or seven years. will put down pork in the
hottest weather IN summer, with very little addition
of salt, and it keeps perfectly pure. The pickle
should not be scaded, but strained to take the sed
iment out of the matter.

Gypsum for Stables. In our concern, where we
have great number of horses, we use gypsum in
our stables strewing it on the floor which arrests
the ammonia as it is formed and thereby not only
helps preserve most valuable fertilizer but also
renders the stable much more wholesome for the
horses. If, in the hot stables that sometimes
met with at inns, where the air is charged with
ammoniaca vapors, that when you enter your eyes
are affected, gypsum were strewed OH the floor
every day. all that offensive smell would be done
away, and the stable be much more healthy for its
nhabitants.-H Briggs.
