who fancies there is so much of ieioure
&and aristocracy in trade and the profes.
slons,l and SO much drudgely in farming,
knows less Ofhuman life, than he will be
likely to learn if he lives to middle age
but, while lahoriDg people usually attain
Casgreater longevity than men of leisure,
their exercise may be considered as con:
ducive to health, and hence to happiness.

The Potato Rot.

We noticed some short time back, with
very little faith, the hypothesis ola New
York paper, that the potato. rot was the
result of q natural decay in a foreign plant
which had run OUT or was running out,
exhausted by cultivation in unkindred
soils; and that the only remedy was to
seek fresh seed among the wild potatoes
which grow in South America on the
slopes of the Andes. and so begin again
as the first introducers of the potato in
North American and Europe began two
or three centuries ago.
We find in Chambers Journals, in a
notice of a very sensible and pratical
paper by Mr.. David Milne on 'The Pc.
Ttato Failure, a little remark which settles
the theory ofour New York contemporary
conclusively enough. Speaking of the
causes ofthe potato disease, the writer
'says:-
The evils could not spring from any
over cultivation OF the plant, for specimens
brought directly from Peru were affected
equally as others.
Nr, Milne, we may add, discards all
the hJ'pothetic causes of the potato blight,
as. insoC,s, fungi, and peculiarities in the
Seasons end weather; and consinders the
sttsctlon. as we have always done. an
ePidemfr disease, which is even not ex.
c.usiNely coai,ned to the potato, although
upon this plant its ravages have been
most noticed and deplored. The disease
attacked many other plants-as peas,
tansy, spinach, and even elms and oaks
Ii was perhaps the same disease which,
at tins hrst appearance Of the potato rot
IN the United States, was Observed to
effect cur plane trees or buttonwoods,
AMI, TO a certain extent some of our oaks.
AS migtlti be expected by all acquaiuteI
with the leading characteristic 8 Of ep-
ldemics, Mr.. Mime considers the cause

being, of course ,ofth nature of miasma
or malaria. The proof forth he consid-
ers TO be the fact, observed in Great
Britain, that potatoes sheltered by screens
frames, or even weeds and other high
growing plants, escaped the disease.
Another Circumstance remarked by
Mr. Milne was, that the epidemic, in the
three kingIons pursued a regular course
from the 5. w to the N. E. ,trave ling at
rate OF, progression which carried it
from the south Of Ireland to the Orkneys
inthe space OF three months; and he
seems to think that, in several places, its
advent was distinguished by remarkable
fogs, described by some farmers as pro-.
ducing afetid odor, under which the
plants were observed to be almost i'm,
mediately blighted. IN american.
