Longfellow, in his Hyperlan, gives the following
beautiful description of the season in Germany.
How unlike the spring in New England
" In all climates, Spring is beautiful. In the
South it is intoxicating, and sets poet beside
himself The birds begin to sing they utter a
few rapturous notes, and then wait for an answer
in the silent woods. Those green-coated musi-
clans, the frogs make holiday in the neighboring
marshes They, too, belong to the orchestra OF
Nature, whose vast theatre is again opened,
though the doors have been so long bolted with
icicles, and the scenery hung with snow and frost,
like cobwebs This is the prelude which an
nounces the opening of the scene Already the
grass shoots forth. The waters leap with thrill
ing pulse through the veins Of the earth; the sap
through the veins Of the plants and trees; and
the blood through the veins of man. What a
thrill of delight in Spring time What JOY III
being and moving Men are at work in gardens
and in the air there is an odor of the fresh earth
The leaf buds begin to swell and blush. The
white blossoms of the cherry hang upon the
boughs like snow-hakes and ere long our neX
door neighbors will be completely hidden from
us by the dense green foliage. The May-flow
ers open their soft blue eyes. Children are lie
loose in the fields and gardens They hold but
ter-cups under each others chins to see if thel
love butter. And the little girls adorn themselves
with chains and curls of dandelions; pull out thu
yellow leaves, to see if the schoolboy loves them
and blow the down from the leafless stalk to fin'
out if their mother wants them at home.
And at night, so cloudless and so still Not

Linn G for Potatoes,


llavlng noticed the action OF Lime on Potatoes
| deem it proper to make few remarks upon the
subject l have noticed that IN many instances
the disease Is worse where lime has been used,
than where nothing had been appIled and will
account for 1t IN such manner as to show you
why 1t is so. Lime is much used by the potato,
when 1t can get 1t, tor the formation OF the tops,
Where nuch lime is applled Oh potatoes they
have very large tops THESE large tops open so
many more mouths to suck IN carDonlc ACID,
which, II the tops were small, would not be the

alto grower IN TINS nelghborhood placed guam
tIty OF old lme-or carbonate OF llme-on his
potatoes at the time OF planting this carbonate
OF lime was Just sufficient to enable the plant to
develop the tops finely. The large tops absorb

and decay followed In both top and root. An
other potato grower put nothing upon his patch;
as consequence, the tops were small, and not
taking in much carbomc acid, they stood quite

1t Is dllhcult to apply lime to the potato witt
the certainty OF Its proving eiectud IN prevent
ing the rot, because IN the frSt place. tno toP'
use moch' II not all oil IT, lof increasing ''e SIZE
OF the tops thus exposing the plant the more ''
the disease, instead OF protecting 1t from una

lime than the p ant can appropriate to the tops
the remainder becomes highly charged with car a,
Donlc ACID early IN the season, and holds 1t WIFI
such tenaclty that the plant cannot get the AKA

preventing the alkaline principle from neutrallz

The best way | know OF to apply lime to pota
toes, IS to take old lime, which has been AR slack
ed, and apply about gill to each hill OF potatoe
at the time OF planting. In the fall when tn
potatoes are dying with the disease, put on ever

Stacked lime 1t should be Stacked on the yer

abounds in potash. Take from your field 200
bushels ofpotatoes this fall, and you will remove
from it sixty-three pounds of this mineral One
bushel of ashes-by those that have used them
are SAID to make ten extra bushels of pota-
toes"
You may now count the cost of the ashes and
and the value of the potatoes and be enabled to
Judge of their Importance. They would always
produce well when the disease is prevalent, and
ifthe ashes be good, and applied in the fall, and
the disease great, have but little doubt that
they would produce even more than is mentioned
above. cannot too strongly recommend then
use. Let every potato grower build himself a
nice ash-house, of such material as to resist fire
and let him preserve and use all the ashes he
can procure until he has sufficient for his pur
pose.

Cheap Shower Bath.
VINO WOULD DO WITHOUT ONE d?


Among the various improvements of the age
we notice one, in the shape of shower bath,
invented by student of Y ale College which sur
passes all others both in the cheapness and eff
cheney. It's very simple and very easily made
by any one OF common tact at tinkerlng. 1t con-
sists III a common wooden pail, with its bottom
thoroughly perforated Then new second bot
tom is put in about 10 or "a inch above the
perforated one, which has in it a hole as large as
large as dollar, to be covered with common
bellows-valye, l. e. one made Of piece of thin
board about l-2 or inches square, with the
under side covered with sheep-skin A string
from this valve to a lever fastened on the brm OF
the pail raises the valve when pulled. The
whole is then suspended by cords and pulleys
A curtain made of common cotton cloth is then
fastened up to the wall in such way as to allow
the apparatus to rise and fall freely The cloth
may be scwed to a common barrel hoop, ingress
and egress being where the edges meet This
last is necessary both for conceament and to
keep the water from scattering off on other arti-
cles. The other and only other thing is a tub
(one-half of barrel if you like,) in which the
operator stands and the lower end of the curtain
terminates. Thus the water that gets on the
curtain is carried directly into the tub The
expense will of course vary with the taste and
fancy of individuals, but | have learned from
some of my acquaintances in college who have
them, that it is only : 80 for the whole. They
declare it superior in some respects to the patent
ones. 1t requires no more room than for the
tub to stand on, and if put up snug in your sleep
ing apartment, 50 far from being a troublesome
appendage, is very convenient and salutary in
! its effects. | made one for myself in few
hours, and would not part with it for any mony
Before retiring to bed lower the pail, fill itwt
water, and raise it to its place, where it stand,
till pull the string. need not tell you of the
eXhllarating or inylgoraing effects of this prac-
tee, for that has been told you before, Every
Farmer, Mechanic or man of whatever calling
ought to have and use one of these same things
so cheap and convenient for all. | take bath
uniformly every morning throughout the year
and (what was not true betore) am neither
troubled with colds or cold feet since began
the practice. Such is my experience, and yours
will be the same if you will try it. Numbness

Never giue Kick for Hill learned good les
son when was a little girl, rejoned Mrs. Farweath
or. One frosty morning | looking out Of the
window into my fathers barnyard, where stood many
COWS, and horses, waiting to drink. 1t was one
Of those cold, swapping mornings when slight thing
irrtates both man and beast. The cattle all stood
very still and meek till of the COWS attempted to
turn round In making the attempt she happened to
hit her next neighbour whereupon the neighbor kicked
and hit another In five minutes the whole herd were
kicking and hooking at each other with all fury, My
Mother laughed and said, See what comes of kicking
when you're hit Just I've seen one cross word set
whole family by the ears some frosty morning. AZ
terwardf my brothers myself were little irritable
she would say, Take care, my children. Remember
how the fight in the balnyard began. Never give a
kick for hit and you will save yourselves and others

Pride and Humility,

Inever yet found pride in noble nature, nor
humility in an unworty mind. OF all trees, |
observe that God hath chosen the vine-a low
plant that creeps upon the helpful wall; of all
beasts, the soft and patient lamb; of all fowls,
the mild and guileless dove. When God appear
ed to Moses, it was not in the lofty cedar, nor
the sturdy oak, nor the spreading plane, but a
bush-an humble, slender, abject bush. AS il
he would, by these selections, check the concet-
ed arrogance of man. Nothing procureth love
like humility nothing hate like Pride,-Feh

MOonIi.ht on the Grave.

Ii shineth on the quiet grave
Where weary ones have gone,
1t watcheth with angelic gaze
Where the dead are left alone,
And not a sound Of busy life
To the still graveyard comes,
But peacefully the sleepers lie
Down in their silent homes.
All silently and solomnly
1t throweth shadows round,
And every grave-stone hath a trace
In darkness on the ground.
1t looketh on the tiny mound
Where little child is laid,
And lighteth up the noble pile
Which human pride hath made.
1t falleth with unaltered ray,
On the simple and the stern,
AMI showeth with solemn light
The sorrows we must learn;
1t telleth ofdivided ties
On which its beams have shone,
1t whispereth of heavy hearts,
Which "brokenly live on" ..
1t gleameth where favored ores
Are sleeping side by side;
1t falleth where the maiden rests
Who in her beauty died.
! here is no grave in all the earth
That moonlight hath not seen,
1t gazeth cold and passionless
Where agony bath been.
Yet it is well that changeless ray
A deeper thought should throw,
When mortal love pours forth the tide
Of unayailing wo.
1t teacheth US no shade of grief
Can touch the starry sky,
That all our sorrow lieth here,
The glory is on high

A Dream of Summer
BY J. &. WHITTIER.

BY }. G. WHITTIER.
Bland as the morning breath of June,
The southwest breezes play;
And through its haze the winter noon
Seems warm as summer day.
The snow plumod Angel of the North
Has dropped his icy spear
Again the messy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his hillside cell forsakes-
The muskrat leaves his nook,
The blue-brd in the meadow brakes
Is singing with the brook.
Bear up, 0 Mother Naturen cry
Bird, breeze, and streamlet free,
'Our Winter voices prophesy
OF summer days to theen
So, in those winters of the soul,
By bitter blasts and Grear,
Oelswept from Memorys frozen pole,
VIII sunny days appear.
Reyiving hope and faith, they show
The soul its living powers,
And how beneath the Winters snow
Lie gems of Summer flowers!
The night is mother of the day,
The winter Of the spring,
And ever, upon old Decay
The greenost MOSES cling.
Behind the cloud the star light Turks,
Through showers the sun-beams fall
For God who loveth all his works,
Has left his Hope with all.

head bends the blue sky, dewy and soft and ra-
dlent with innumerable stars, like the inverted
bell of some blue flower, sprinkled with golden
dust, and breathing fragrance. Or if the heay-
ems are overcast, it is no wild storm of wind and
ram but clouds that melt and fall in showers,
One does not wish to sleep; but lies awake to
hear the pleasant sound of the dropping rain.
