Potatoes

To raise good potatoes, a dry soil sees
requisite Before the plant was diseasedN
potatoes were liable to rot where the soil
was too wet for them, and especially Ii .,.s.
water should staud around them for short
time. Seed potatoes, when planted in a
cold and wet soil, will rot sooner than corn.
And now, since the potatoe has become SO
peculiarly susceptible to disease, it seems
more than ever important to select for it
soil that is sufficiently dry All stiff, heavy,
or adhesive soils, which are much-disposed
TO moisture, we regard as very unsuitable
for the potatoe, and on such, since the dis.
ease commenced, SO far as we have noticed
but few potatoes have been raised, and
those were of inferior quality. A light,
sandy soil, we think, is preferable to any
other-Me. Farmer,

Duke of WeIlington's statue, where, paus-

round him, he proceeded to the Jerusalem
Cofee-house, thence over London Badge to
the Leopard Coffee-house in the borough,
and finally to a clearinghouse in Scors.yard,
Cannon street. He probably fancied that,
by making so many turns and doubles, he
had not only effectually puzzled all pursuit,
bnt that his appearance at so many coffee
houses would assist him, Unnecessary, i'll pro-

The True Aristoorats.
BY C. D. STUART.
Who are the mobiles of the earth
The true Aristocrats,--
Who need not bow their heads to Lords,
Nor dofF to Kings their hats?
Who are they but the Men of Toll,
The mighty and the free,
Whose hearts and hands subdue the earth
And compass all the sea
Who are they but the Men of Toll
Who cleave the forests down,
And plant amid the wilderness
The hamlet and the town?
Who fight the battles, bear the scars,
And give the world its crown
Of name, and fame, and history,
And pomp of old renown!
These claim no gaud of heraldry,
And scorn the knighting rod
Their coat of arms are noble deeds
Their peerage is from God
Thew talsa not f-ss-e --szr-y,sssi
The glory Of their name,
But win, as erst their fathers won,
The laurel wreath of Fame.

known custom prevailing in our criminal
