Row LoyE.-One of the queerest things 10
think of in after life is" boy love" No sooner
does a boy acquire toerable stature than he
! begins to ape manish ways. He casts sdelong
| glahces at every tall girl he happens to meet,
| becomes a regular attendant at church, or
| meeting, sports a cane, carries his head erect,
and struts little in his walk Presently and
how very soon, he falls in love--yes, falls is
the proper word, because it best indicates his
happy, delirous self abasement. He lives
now in a fairy region, somewhere collateral TO
the world, and yet somewhere blended mex
! tricably with It. He perfumes his hair with
! fragrant oils, scatters essences over his hand
kerchief, and desperately shaVes and annolnts
| tor beard. Hequotes poetry IN which "iOVe,
! and dove" and "heart," peculiarly predom-
mate; and, as he plunges deeper ino the deli
| cious Iabvrinth, fancies himself filled with the
divine affiatus, and suddenly breaks out into
! the scarlet rash-of rhyme. He feeds upon
the looks of his beloved; is raised TO the sew
enth heaven if she speaks pleasant word is
betrayed into the most astonishing ecstacies by
a smile, and is plunged into the gloomiest re-
gion of msanthrophy by f:own.
He believes himself the most devoted lover in
the world There never was such another.
There never will be. He is the very type OF
magnanimity and self abnegation. Wealth
he despises the grovelling thought. Poverty
with the adorable beloved he rapturously
apostrophises as the first of all earthly bles-
sings and '' love in cottage with water and
crust is his beau ideal paradise of dainty
delights
He declares to himself with the most solemn
emphasis that he would 60 through fire and
water, undertake a pilgrimage to China or
| kamsChatka, swim storm tossed oceans, scale
! impossible mountains, and face legions of bay
onets, but for one sweet smile from her dear
! lips. He doats upon the flowers she has
cast away. He chershes her gIoye-a little
| worn In the fngers-neXt to his heart He
scrawls her dear name over ioolscap-ftting
medium for his insanity. He scornfuIly depre-
ciates the attention of other boys of his own
age, cuts Peter 1ibbets dead, because he says
that The adorable Angelina had carrotty hair;
and passes Harry Bell contemptuousIy, for dar-
ing to compare "that gawky Mary Jane" with
Incompatible Angelina.
Happy happy foolish boy; love with its
hopes and fears, It's joys and Its sorrows, It's tor
lures, its eXtatic tervors, and terrible heart
burnings, its solemn Iudlcrousness, and its in
tensely prosaic termination.

His manners are ungainly.

To take a store in town, ma,

BAD HABITs-A bad habit resembles horse
radish; it is terribly difficult to extirpate it
from the soil in which it has taken root, and
the cultivator who would rid his land of the
Stub rn plant is vexed and aggravated by
seeing it again and again, springing up fresh
and smart where he had pIoughed and dug
most vehemently. What liquor-drinker or TO-
bacco-user or profane swearer or gambler, &c.
will deny the truth of my assertion! Then,
young men, do not acquire BAD HABITS.

Early Potatoes.

Potatoes may be forwarded from two t.
three weeks by placing them on the sou,l
side Of fence, or building, early in tn,
spring, and protecting them carefully from
the night frost, by stratum of straw. The
calorifc agency of the suns rays, tends to
energise the principles Of reproduction, by
awakening an earlier activity, which, when
properly directed, operates favorably upon
the future growth. Some deposite their po-
tatoes In fermenting horse manure till they
have evolved sprouts two or three inches
in length, but this is not to be recommen-
ded, as great care is necessary in planting
in order to prevent the sprouts being bro
ken, and so powerful = stimulus deterio-
rates the capacity Of the tuber for well
sustained and healthy growth, when depo-
sited in the soil.-[Germantown Telegraph.

How to raise Good Potatoes.

My object in writing at this time is to
give you my method Of growing potatoes
free from rot. have practiced it two sea-
sons with entire success, and have now 600
bushels of fine Mercer potatoes in my Gel
lar, and all free from the disease.
My method is, to plow the ground late
in the fall or early in the spring, harrow it
smoothly before planting time, then haul
olt say fifteen tons rotted manure, spread
it broadcast, then take two horses and
plow, and back up two full furrows, the
burrows just meeting in the backing; leave
a strip foot wide, and back up two more;
and so continue till you have completed
the lot. Then turn about and split these
double furrows open with . single fuzrow,
then commence dropping seed, (pieees Of
cut potatoes, containing at least four eyes,)
IN the furrow, SIX inches apart. AMER tho
lot is dropped, take your horses and plow,
throw two good burrows, Zone round Of the
team to throw, just meeting on the top;
dress off the top, clearing the row Of all
stones, clods, &C., then SOW broadcast Eve
bushels of common salt over the ground
Immediately after planting; cultivate pota-
toes when in blossom.
When the crop is ready to gather, clear
the ground, and turn furrow from each
side of the row; how down the ridge, then
harrow down the ground, pick up the rem
aiming potatoes, and the work is done. It
is apparent that by this process We get .
broad, loose bed for the potatoes to grow
in, also double depth of soil.

Fox were left, and they had not been able
to make their board. While on our way
down, we lived upon salmon, a most ex-
cellent fish, which we're so abundant in the
Merciades, Towalume, and Stanislaus riv-
ers, that we killed them with clubs aud
stones, when ascending the shoals.
Fox found employment at BonsalPs S
ferry. John, Fred, and myself came on
down, and encamped at the forks of the
Stockton and Benecia roads in Amador' S
Pass. Two of us went down to Pueblo,
and invested our remaining funds (about
$780, in tent and provisions, which we
packed up upon our mules. We put up a
pole frame, over which we stretched our
canvass. The public, thinking that we
were Sin the business" began to call for
meals, provisions, lodging, &c. Thinking
it as we'll to be employed as idle, We killed
a beef, put the kettle on the fire, and dealt
OFT meat, hard bread, sugar, -four, &c.
Ten days afterwards, started to San
Francisco, to purchase supplies, with 5000
in my pocket. There I found Green and
Howard. They had clubbed together with
Jesse Thomas, and Mr.. Jacobs, of Hunt
ingdon Co., Pa, and were keeping bache-
lor's hall, in small room for which they
paid SIS per month, rent. Maj. Green
had been very unwell, but was recovering
from the typhoid fever. DR.. Winston was
attending him. 1 also met Maj. Beck,
Jas. Duncan, Jno. Hayes, Mr.. Kelly, and
Mr. Smit',, of the Lewistown Company.
They started from home after us, had a
pleasant trip through Mexico, and arrived
at San Francisco early in July. They had
all been to the diggings, and were more or
less successful. 1t was really gratifying
to meet so many persons from the neigh
borhood of home.
There had been great change in the
place since had been there before-a Pc
Rod of six weeks. A great number of
buildings had been put up, and large
blocks of houses covered what were then
vacant lots. The town was 'full of peo-
ple," half the buildings being occupied as
boarding and gambling houses. Board
was from $40 to $40 per week rents ex-
brilliantly high: business of all kinds
brisk, and merchandise commanded good
prices. The gambling houses were thronged
and as these were the only places of resort,
many persons entirely averse to gambling,
were induced to patronlze the " Banks"

geine acts neither as an acid nor alkali, but
1t is concerted into substance hariny acid
properties, by the action Of alkoE. In this
state it will combine with earths, alkalies
and oxides, forming neutral salts, which
are called geates, and these geates are more
easily dissolved in water than solid geine,
especially when first formed.
SoluJte geine, he considers the food Of
plants, and insoluLle geine becomes food of
plants by exposure to air and moisture.
Hence the reason and the result of tillage.
Hence also, the reason of employing lime,
ashes, &c, to muck and peat, thereby rem
dering the geine they contain easily dis
solved, and also neutralizing any other
foreign or free acids which they may acci-
dentally contain.
Liebig allows that this geiiae, or humus,
as he calls it, is food for plants, but by no
means the whole food that this humus
acts in the same manner in a soil per-
meable to air, as it does in the air itself,
and is continued source Of carbonic acid,
which it supplies to the roots" and that
humus supplies young plants with nour-
ishment by the roots, until their leaves are
matured sufficiently to act as exterior Or
gans Of nutrition 4; its quantity heightens
the fertility of soil, by yielding more
nourishment in this period Of growth, and
consequently by increasing the number of
organs of atmospheric nutrition. After
these organs (the leaves, &C. have become
fully organized, they commence drawing
carbon and other matters from the atmos-
phere, and thus obtain large amount of
nourishment from that source
As this hxmus or geine, supplies carbon
aceOus matter to the roots of plants, the
more abundant it is in the soil the greater
the supply, and if it is not there, it should
be placed there by the application of ma
nures and not only that, when it is there,
the soil should be loosened by cultivation,
which will give chance for the roots to
extend freely, and also allow access to the
air, and thereby promote the formation of
carbonic acid again, which, by being de-
composed in the organs of the plant, sup
plies carbon or woody fibre to the plant,
increasing its growth and rendering it
hard or woody, as md be required by its
nature. Maine Farmer.
