Jenny Lind's second concert at Roches.
ter, was as before fully attended, and gave
general satisfaction. The premiums at
the auction sale of tickets, amounted to
$1,000, which goes to charities.
Apropos-we learn that Mad'lle Lind
made her appearance on foot in the streets
Of Auburn several times, while in that
city-and because she could do so without
the annoyance of train of followers. She
visited the prison, also, and was conducted
through the shops, occasionally speaking
encouraging words to the convicts, who
were permitted by the keeper, under the
relaxation Of the rules to reply. In one
of the shops, convict, aware Of her pres
encc, sent round a shaving among his fel-
lows upon which her name was written
with chalk. The kind interest she exhibi-
ted in their behalf, seemed to touch the
hearts of not few of them Madlle Lind
also visited Owasco Lake, famous for its
echo. She sung the echo song there, and
was enchanted with the precision with
which her own notes came down to her
Albany Argus.
AN INcIDENT-Ycsterday morning
number of fine looking Indians, men and
women, were favored with an interview by
Jenny Lind, in her apartments at the
Eagle Hotel, where she sung several of
her most admired songs, greatly to the
delight of the children Of the forest. The
melody of the Nightingale" was over
heard in the street, and in few minutes
crowd of several hundred people had col
lected in front of the Eagle to catch as well
as they might, her witching notes.-Roch.

Home Industry.

A friend in Hanover has sent us spec

labor. 1t is of the best quality, regularly
drawn, and Gas straight as shingle." 1t
appears that the Virginia women in that
region, having found that the men are not
quick enough in establishing home indus
try, have determined to set them an ex-
ample, and two of them in Hanover
young, Of handsome figure, and full of
spirit-having been reduced by necessity
to self dependence, have taken hold Of the
saw, axe, and drawing knife, and get, up
on an average, 5000 shingles a week. We
are desired to say that, if there be any
bachelors in this city who desire their
houses covered, bachelor editors not ex.
cepted,) they can be furnished with any
quantity by forwarding their orders to the
Misses Christian, near the Slash Cottage,
Hanover. Just think of being shingled
by the ladies, and that too of the land of
Clay, Henry, and other worthies.-Rich.

cally "kiss the rod, and Him that hath ap-
pointed it, and could a decree now 60
forth that the potato should be restored to
its pristine soundness and health, and that
the present generation and their posterity
for ever should feed on this root exclu-

and star, for many joyful night And
let it be expected by those who would do
good to ireland, and elevate her in the
scale of being, that it will be many a long
year before the sickle will be as joyfully
and heartily worked as the spade. This
spade has thousand associations, entwin-
ing in and about the hearts of parent and
child, which no other instrument of hus-
bandry can claim; it has cut the turf that
lighted up the mud-wall cabin, and boiled
the "blessed potato y it has dug the pit in
front of the cabin for the duck pond, it
has piled the manurehcap at the corner,
mountain high it has planted the ridge
which furnished their daily bread it has
made the ditch, and repaired the road; it
has stood by the hearth or door through
many dark aud stormy night, to guard
the little stack for the COW against the
tithe gatherer it has been freside and
field companion; and above all, and over
all, it has measured and followed out many
last sleeping bed for darling child, a
beloved husband or wife, and in the dark
days of the famine it has often been the
only companion to accompany the father,
mother, husband, wife, or child, who has
had the corpse Of hunger stricken rela-
tive in sack or tied to the back, to con-
vey it to the dread uncofined pit, where
are tumbled, in horrid confusion, the star
we'd dead Of all ages.
The sickle has not that claim to the af-
fections of what is generally called the
GLOVER order" 1t is more aristocratic in
its station and occupation. 1t has been
used in the hands of the poor, to reap
down the fields of the rich ''for nought )"
it has cut the wheat and the barley for the
tax-gathcrer, the landlord, and the sur
pliced 'hireling," who "rcaps where he
sowed not" and gathers where he had
not strewed."

Old Maids.

Blessings on them! We love to con-
verse with a lady who has been denounced
rs an old maid, by the ignorant and thot-
less She is kind, substantial, intelligent,
correct. We know of but few maiden ladies
who have not superior intcllects. Beau
tiful to gaze upon, they may not be-but
they have mental beauty that cannot fade,
that will glow with more freshness as time
dims the rosy flush of youth. What ladies
set up business for themselves and make
money? The unmarried. Who arc our
best female authors? Old maids. Few
men appreciate them-few study their
characters, and consequently the most tai
ented of the female sex remain in a single
state. They have more respect for them
selves than to fatter or receive fattery.
They will rot put themselves forward to
catch beau, or do any mean thing-but
they silence the ill-bred and foppish, who
denounce them as old maidish, when for
sparkling wit, for mental accomplishments
and real worth, they far, far outstrip the
butterfly bellies that hang so languidly on
the arms of simple fops.
We repeat, blessings on the heads of
old maids. If there are women We should
respect and love, they are these. You
will find them beside the couch of pain
and in the haunts of distress. They are
moved by pity, and never withhold their
sympathies and their aids. But for them,
how many heart would be cherries
how many an aching head remain ua-
soothcd. They go forth like Gods min
istering angels, wherever the footprints Of
poverty can be found, or consumption's
fatal arrow has been sent, and light with
Joy the heavy heart, and carry peace and
consolation to the abode of sorrow.
Never speak word Of disrcspect against
an old maid She is an honor to her sex.
We could not spare her from our sin-pol-
luted and afflicted world. Think of her
virtues in your heart, and ever have a
cheerful word and pleasant smile for her.

Tho Potato in Ireland.

In work entitled "Annals of the Fam.
inc in Ireland" by Mrs. A. Nicholson, We
find the following interesting extracts.
The writer travelled through ireland during
the famine Of 1S47, 1S48, and 1S49, and
what she says is from actual observation:
ATTACHMENT TO THE POTATO.
A brother of Theobald Mathew had
planted field of twenty-seycn acres, in
almost certain faith that they would not
be blasted for weeks they fiourished, and
promised to yield an abundant crop. The
poor people in the neighborhood were
blessing the good God for the beautiful
patch of the "kind gentleman" and
seemed as happy as though they were rip
ening for their own use. They have been
known to go and look into the field, and
take off their hats, and in humble adora-
ton bless the name of God, for his great
mercy in sending them the potato again.
This was their usual practice when they
saw field looking vigorous But in one
night the spoiler came-this beautiful
field in the morning had, in isolated spots,
the whitening touch of the fatal disease.
In few days the rich extensive crop
would not pay the laborer for his toll in
gathering it. All was over, and in silent
dependency each one submitted to tie
stroke. The "still small voice" seemed to
say, "Bc still, and know that am God"
1t was something for which man could net
reprove his brother and he dared not ret
proach his God. "And what" said an
old woman, sitting by her vegetable stall,
"would become of US miserable bodies, if
God Almighty had sent the blast on us
and left the potato!"
This was in the Autumn of 1915, when
but partial failure took placc-the blast
had not yet fallen on man but it did fall,
and swept them down as grass before the
mowers scythe, yet not one Of the victims,
through long months of starvation, was
heard to murmur against God. They
thanked his holy name, both when they
saw the potato grow in luxuriance, and
when they saw it dried, as by scorching
heat 1t was one of the most touching,
striking features of the famine, to see a
family looking intoa withered patch, which
the day before looked promising, and hear
the ordinations of wonder and praise,
weeping and thanksgiving, mingled to-
gether, "He's sent the blast, blessed be
his holy name" ellis blessed will be done
and we'll all die with hunger, ,and praise
God we're all poor Sinners" &c. They
literally and practically carried out the
principle Of one in ancient days, who said,
''Though He slay me, yet will l trust in
Him." for though year after year they saw
the root on which they and their fathers
had lived, melt away, yet they could not
be persuaded but that the good God would
give them the potato again and in 1876
7-S-9, when each successive year had pro-
duced the same if not worse effects, they
yet persisted in saving, oftentimes by
stealth, some part Of a sound potato, to
keep it from the hungry mouths of their
children, that they might put it in the
ground, and 'Praise God We will have the
potato again." would be the persevering
reply to all expostulation. So welded are
they to this root, that Notwithstanding
many know and deeply feel that it has been

The Souls Refuge.

Draw nigh to the Holy,
Bend low at His throne;
There, penitcnt, lowly,
Thy sinfulness own.
There, there, if thou yearncst
For pardon and rest,
There, fervent and earnest,
Prefer thy request.
Confess thy backsliding,
Thy weakness and fears,
In Jesus confding,
There pour out thy tears:
Think not He will scorn thee,
Though wretched thy case;
His hand will adorn thee
With garments Of grace.
More precious than treasure,
More vast than the sea,
His love has no measure
Nor limit TO thee.
His easy yoke wearing,
His pleasure abide;
In oil thy cross bearing.
He'll walk by thy side.
Fear not the wild clangor
That Satan may raise,
So Gods righteous anger
But pass from thy ways.
Whom Christ has forgiven
Goes safely along,
Till in the high heaven
He sings the new song.
Then kneel to the Holy,
Bend low at HIS throne;
There, penitent, lowly.
Thy sinfulness own:
There. Soul if thou yearncst
For pardon and rest.
There, ferveut and earnest.
Prefer thy request. TH.MkkLLAH

When patriot tongues the thrilling tale rehearsc
In grand orations, or resoundins verse;

While honest Dutchmen, round the speakers stand,

And thrifty Caledonians bless the fate

And not a baubee for the boon to pay;

Swell with the thems, till every mothers son
Feels all his co4ntry's magnitude his own.

Oh! oh all!
Now, thought I, as I made up a draught
of distilled water with some vegetable col
oring matter, for MIR. Augustus Brown
now think have managed this trouble
some patient pretty we'll.
Alas! how vain are human anticipations.
Just three nights after, was rang up in
the middle Of my first sleep SO violently,
that thought for moment that the
house must be on fire. popped my head
out of window, and asked, Who's there?
Me, was the reply, a very usual one by
the way, under such circumstances.
Who's ME? said I, with a laudablc
contempt at the moment for grammar.
Please, sir, Mr.. Browns boy.
Oh! Mr.. Augustus Brown?
Yes, sir.
Is h" light or heavy this time?
That's gone of, sir
What, cried I, some new freak!
Please, sir, yes.
Well whaty
Master, sir, says as how you must come
directly, cos he's going to be MERRrMo-
PUssED.
Eh
MERRYMopUssED, please, sir.
Merry-what?
That's what he called it, sir.
Just try and explain yourself, will you,
my boy!
Why, sir, I think as he means he's 60
ing to be turned into somctkiay else.
Oh! Metamorphoscd.
Something like that, sir, or some other
wild animal
Tell your master I'll be with him soon.
The boy departed, and with great vexa-
ton, and which even the prospect Of my
fec could not subdue, I put on my clothes,
and sailed out to soc Mr.. Browns meta
morphosis.
What put such thing into his head ?
said to myself. Atleast, my medicine is
innocent this time.
When arrived at Bloomsbury Square,
I found the whole house in confusion, and
l was shown into the drawing-room where
sat Mr. Brown in night-gown and slip
|pers.
Good night, Mr.. Brown, saidI.
He shook his head Doctor, oh !! oh ! ali
Well, sir
You have done it, at last.
Done what?
Me, sir, me-Augustus Brown, Esq.
As how, sir?
What directions did you give me when
you were last here? Yes; now, don't
cavil.
Certainly not. I told you to take the
pills would send to you.
Well, sir; and what else, sir?
I told you to attend to your diet.
But what did you tell me to caty
Mutton.
All!
Well, Mr. Brown, what of all that?
Mutton?
Yes, mutton.
Well, doctor, I have eaten mutton.
must have taken mutton for breakfast,
mutton for luncheon, mutton for dinner,
mutton for tea, and, sir, I took mutton for
supper.
1 could not, for my life, suppress
smile, and it put Mr.. Brown quite in
rage.
So, he cried, you laugh, do you7
Nay, my good sir
Don't good sir mc-you laughed sir.
Very we'll.
Oh it's very we'll, is it? Well, doc
tor, what do you suppose has been the re-
suit of all this mutton, eh, sir? I wait
your answer.
A great demand for sheep, said I, smil-
ing.
Don't smile, he cried.
Well, then, seriously speaking, Mr..
Brown, 1 do not apprehend any particular
result.
You don't.
