time promised serious results. A lion,
tiger, panther and some lesser mobiles

their carriage, his majesty from Africa,
gave regular war whoop, an uneaTthiy

full speed. On they went! down one
street, through another, the driver main

wheels coming of, the carriage tipped
over, throwing the driver on the side

horses went on with the fore wheels I'M

The carriage kept entire, its inmates re-

The PoTAroE DIsEAsE. The Eng.
lish papers, by the last steam ship, abound
with articles relating TO the disease which
has attacked The potatoes in that country,
as we'll as in this. Next TO the rail road
mania, i. seems to be the mos, prolific sub
Ject OF newspaper comment. The dis
ease, in that country, is called, 'the pota>
toe murrain." The speculaions upon it,
show that they are as much in the dark
abou! ii, as we are. Some attribute il to
warm weather, and some to cold some 10
dry, and others 10 wet. Some affirm that
il is caused by cutting The seed, some
charge 1t 10 insects on the vine or tuber,
and others to vegetable fungus. The
opinion has been very confidently ex
pressed, by some, as it was here, that it
was owing to the long time which has G.
lapsed since The potatoes we're produced
from the seed contained in the apple or
ball. This, however, was promptly met
BY numerous instances where the disease
had attacked potatoes Of only one, two,
and three years growth from the seed,
quite as badly as it did the old varieties in
the same vicinity. One person bad some
fifty or sixty new varieties, raised from
the seed within two or three years, all of
which were badly infected with the dis.
ease.
We have yet seen no reason 10 change
the opinion, which we expressed 10 an
early stage oflhe discussions upon this
sublsst-that the cause of the disease, is
some subtle agency or influence, probably
atmospheric, operating as the causes of
other epidemics do--defying human in>
vestigaiion aad scrutiny, and like them,
passing away with as little apparen, cause
as they came. The present season has
afforded striking indication OF this, in
its prevalence most where it was not felt
at all last year, and ils almost total alb.
sence where it prevailed with the most
virulence, last year.
We do not learn from any quarter, the
present season. that potatoes have been
any more subject to the disease, where
the seed was taken from lots that were at.
fected last year, than when taken from
those that were sound and free from dis
ease. But. so far as our present informa.
ton goes, the reverse rather, appears to
be true.
We perceive that the English papers
speak of the curl, or disease in the top. as
the same which causes the rot. We
should like, as matter of curiosity, afur>
Their investigation, and more copous facts
on this point than we have yet had. Our
impression is, that they are distinct
diseases. 1t is equally true, that the
curl often prevails without any rot accom-
panyiag or following it, and the rot takes
place when there has been no symptoms
ofthe curl.-Te Mass. Spy.

MUSINGS.

Pleasant but mournfu 10 the soul is the memory
of joys that are past.-OssIoN.
There is pleasing, mournful thought, oft
blended with the feeling
Which in this world of care and strife, is
DER the bosom stealing:
II greets us in the merry crowd, and in our
lonely hours,
II charms away our anxious care, like mus
sic's soothing powers.
II steals upon our wearied souls, in mid
nights drearess shade;
And comes upon our lonely hearts, cen
when the sun hath laid
The scared and withered tendrils low, with
all empowering might
When in his noon-day gloriousness, he
swells upon our sight.
I, comes upon our buoyant souls, in morn
ing's joyous hour,
And when we lay us down at night our
cares and labors o'er;-
When hearts beat high, with widest hope
Of blessings yet TO come
While wan'dring DER the desert earth, or in
our quiet home.
1t comes upon US every where, Through all
this varied life,
When wrapt in widest solitude, or plunged
in deadliest strife.
From present care it WATTS US far, and from
the present day
Te ether scenes and happier times, whose
joys have past away.

The Glory OF the Poet.
The Poet, ah! who else can boast
OF such intelligence and worth;
Who amid earth's exalted sons
Can so much boast of what he's done.
They rise in fancy's airy flights,
find flap their Hing at morning Lights;
They scan Heavens canopy above
And court tina "Splrits fairy' Love.
When beauty tips the hills at morn,
And frosts retire with whitening scorn,
IT'S then the Poet Yields his pen,
And smiling thinks what Poets have been.
When SHOWS of winter thiekening fall,
Our Modern Poet lists to Natures call;
And from the busy world set free,
He dreams of what he get mag be.
Though no ear can ever hear IT."
Though no heart can ever bear if,
Yet the records of Posterity,
Will bear his name to, Futurify!

Friend Hoicomb. Being Influenced by
a desire to promote your interests, | adj
dress to you this communication. II has
been your custom to introduce into your
paper a few pieces Of poetry. There arr
but few, who do not listen to Poetry with
pleasure. Words, addressed to us in the
language Of Poetry, stir up the finer feel
ings Of our natures, and exert and infu-
ence which can rarely be exerted by
Prose. Although not every thing called
Poetry can exert this influence, yet We
notice in some late numbers of your paper,
productions from the pen OF a Modern
Poet, which must cause the writings OF a
Virgil or a Homer to dwndlc into insig-
ni6cance! He has taken upon himself
the arduous task of writing for The public,
and in his productions, scars alofL to catch
the" Music of the Rolling Spheres and
to list to the " Musings Of Autumn's Fairy
Spirit" May the infant Poet receive the
welcome approbation, which his puerile
productions richly deserve, land thus be en-.
eouraged to continue his srrightIy attempt
to become The Poet Of Republican Amer,
lea Although unwilling 10 place our
productions in competition with those OF
this malchIess Poet, yet you will confer a
favor on willing subscriber by inserting
the following lines; which, if they be not
considered of equal merit with those from
the author named, we think will pass for
something above mediOcriiIy of poetical
