THE LADDER OF ST. AUGUSTINE.
by HENRY w. LoNGFELLow.

Saint Augustine ! well hast thou said,
That of our vices we can frame
A ladder, if we will but tread
Beneath our feet each deed Of shame
All common ,hinas-each days events,
That with the hour begin and end
Onr pleasures and our disconteuS
Are rounds by which we may ascend,
The low desire-the base design,
That makes anuther'S virtues less,
The revel Of the giddy wine,
And all occasions of excess
The longing for ignohe things.
The strife for Triumph more than truth
The hardning of the heart, that brings
lrreverence for the dreams OF youth
All lhouahts Of ill---all evil deeds,
That have their root in thought Of i'll,
Whatever binders or impcdeS,
The action of the nObcr will
All these must first be trampcd down,
Beneath our feet. if we wonld gain
In the bright field Of Fair rrnown
The right OF eminent domain
We have not winqs--wc cannot SOAR
But we have feet TO scale and climb
By slow degrees--hv more and more
The cloudy SUBMITS OF our time.
The mighty pyramids of stone,
That wedge-iikc cleavr the desert airs
When nearer seen, and better known,
Are but gigantic flights of stairs.

the teller, handing him the documert-on

"Sold,"-exclaimcd John drawing forth
the money with a hysteric grasp; for he
saw through the management at a glance.
The note was paid, Of course, and justice
awarded to the spendthrlit.
On the next morning he found upon hls
desk a note which contained the following
entertaining bit of personal intelligence.
To John Smith, Esq:

CULTURE OF THE SWEET poTAToR

have noticed two or three articles IN the
Genesee Farmer on sweet poiatoe culture in
this Slate. | have raised sweet potatoes sew
eral years past with good success and very
little trouble, as luxury for my own table.
Four years ago, purchased in Cincinnati
some dozen potatoes OF the red variety,
grown in Lousianna. Near the last of May,
cut them open length wise and covered
them about an inch and half deep in hot
bed, the flesh side or raw part of the pota-
toe downward. At evening, poured boiling
water over them, and repeated it again the
next evening In few days the shoots ap.
peared, and, when from to 6 inches in
length, puIled them of (by placing one
hand on the potaoe and using the thumb of
the other to pull them off, and planted them
| in hill in my garden. proceeded in the
same way with every new set of shoots, until
near the last Of June.
! The season was remarkably warm and my
| handful of seed yielded an abundant increase.
| never saw finer or larger potatoes in Missis.
| sippi, and they far exceeded any ever saw
in Tennessee or the south part of Ohio. Some
of them were enormously large. | sold some
of them for one dollar per bushel but they
were mostly used in my family and given 10
my friends. | would here remark that the
vines do not die, like The common potaloe,
but remain green and apparently growing
until frost comes and, whenever the vines
are touched with frost, the roots are affected
and soon rot. ! lost part OF my first crop
from not knowing this Iact--eiing them re
main too long in the ground,
The next spring friend sent me, from
Cincinnati, box of sweet potatoes OF the yell
low variety, which treated in the same
way. and had fine crop of large potatoes,
some of which were exhibited al our country
fair. The next spring procured seed from
. 4 gentleman near Erie, Pa, who has cutiva-
ted them ior many years, and keeps the seed
through the winter. had fair crop, as
regards quantity, but they were inferior, both,
in size and quality, TO those grown from seed,
brought from the South. They were hardi
and slringy, while the others were exceed
nnly farinaccous. | am inclined 10 believe
that, when raised long from seed grown al
the North, they will run out, or so nearly as
10 be hardly like sweet potatoes,
In the spring of lS40 got seed from PITTS
burg-red, yellow and white varieties They
all grew well and produced abnndan'ly'--'
The red ones were much the largest, aud
nex, in size were the yellow ones
All persons in the western part OF The Stale
who own a garden OF rich, warm soil, NAY
have their patch OF sweet potatoes II they
choose. They should never be planted until
, There is no danger from irost-,irom the middle
l until The last OF May is quite early enough.
, The hills shonld be about three feet apart,
5 and care shoa.d be asen TO prevent the vines
from taking root, the consequences OF which
will be a quanity of small tbrous roots, no.

n a cluster on the top of the bill. Ono shoot Is

The Fugitive Sims.

U. $. Deputy Marshal John II. Riley re-
turned to Boston from his mission to Savan-
nah OH Saturday evening. The Savannah
News of the 2lst contains the following:
I'VE understand that the African Lion,
who recently produced such sensation ut
Boston, eclipsing all the other lions and lion
esses of the New England metropolis, not
even excepting Elizur Wright or Abby Fol-
SON, has been accommodated with private
apartments in the county jail, where he will
remain in retiracy for the present. His man
ners have not been at all improved, we are
told, by his late associations aud il what we
hear of his insolent bearing be true, little
wholesome chastiscment would do him no
harm, while it would have salutary effect
upon those Of his class who are likely to be
influenced by his example and the notoriety
he has acquired.'
The Georgian of the same day says:-
we learn that Sims attempted TO make q
hypocritical speech on reaching the wharf
in which he denounced the abolitionists and
congratulated himself that he had been once
more permitted 10 tread the hospitable soil
of Georgia. Sims was brought from the
brig TO Justice Rainford's Office, where il an
pears the Boston officers went through the
form of surrendering him to the authorities
of the city. We should have been betteI
pleased il he had been taken directly from
the vessel TO the Jail, as any other runawa,
negro would have been. The fact of attach
ing so much importance TO the affair looks tC
us supremely ridculous.'
According TO the Republican, the Mar
shals who accompanied Sims TO Savannah
were to be complimented with public Dime
The New Bedford Mercury of the 30lh ulI
says -
Deputy Marshal w. o. Russell arrive,
in this city yesterday morning from Savan
nah. lie has called on us aud desired us ut
