Seeding Potatoes.
BY j. NJ. WEEKS.

i received from MIR. Bradstreei, Of Dan.
vcrs, last spring, half bushel OF his seed
ling potatoes, and as the product of this half
bushel of seed seems with me 10 excel all
other varieties that we have tried, for hardi,
ness, quantity, and good quality, both for
stock and the table, il should be more nencr-
ally known. There seem 10 be four differ,
ent varieties, one Of which is pale red and
appears the most hardy, quite large on good
land, very few small ones, ripe early in
September when planted carly in May /;
they are found quite compact in the hill and
have not roiIed any this year. The three
other varieties are viii te; one is rather
small but very early. The other TWO kinds
are of good size, yield WELL and are ripe by
the middle ol August.
In comparing the qualities of al these
white varieties with the Carriers, MERGERS.
Shannucks, Peachhlows, and other choice
table potatoes, none are found so desirable
for eating as MIR. Braislreet's white vsrie,
ties but these are more liable to rot, Ms we
found half dozen diseased ones 10 digging
twenty-five or twenty three bushels. Even
tho red variety, we think, are fully equal to
the PeachblOw for eating. and is not shy like
The latter, seeking repose out of the hill, 50
as to compel those who dig 10 work the
ground all over 10 find lhom. The yield of
MIR. BIS Reds is at least twice as much as
that of the Peacbblow from an equal 9uan.
'ity and quality of land.
The product raised from tho above guam
iiiy of seed was 40 bushels on loan land
without manure. though The field was well
manured and in corn In 1850. The land
was ploushed once only, about the first of

not very deep, potatoes cut two eyes on each
piece, three pieces in bill, no eyes reject

part in the furrow. Cultivated without
hilling up, hoed twice, cullvalor used, (not
ploughed,) little plaster on each hill nfer
first hoeing weeds hoed up where they
appeared third time. Land used for these
potatoes was through the middle Of the field
and occupied little less than one-eighth of
an acre. Rohans on one side. Leoparls
and Pink eyes on the other land all alike,
cultivated as the other. MIR, BIS seedlings
yielded much more than any other, and rot
ted less.
The Rohan has been my favorite potato
for field culture and stock since its earliest
int reduction into this country, it being
less liable TO rot and producing a greater
yield than any other that we have raised
Moreover, since i, has become acclima,ed,
il turns out 10 be excellent for the table from
January TO July when raised on light po-
rous land not made rich by manure the
same season they are grown. This variety
Of potatoes, in my view, should not he Yields
ed up until some other, hitherto unknown
to the writer, MS field and stock potato, is
introduced, and will cary oil the palm as
competitor. Perhaps MIR. Bradslreet's Red
Seeding may do this and yet, as it is only
five years from the seed, its character may
not be perfectly establishcd.-N E. Far

Strength Of the Will.

1t has been the belief of large class Of
correct thinkers, that the ability Of a man
to perform any given action. within the
scope of reason, is only limited by the ex-
tent of his natural capacity. In other
words--that which he s0iHs to do, il he sets
resolulely about il, he can perform 10 the
fullest extent provided, his chosen task lies $
within the compass OF his mind.
To mental organization at once viso-
rous and well balanced, IL its powers be ra-
tionally employed, failure in any given pur-
suit is almost next to impossible. A steady
perseverance in the one path, and in quest
of the one object being all that is required.
], is by vaeillaIion of purpose, by trying
frat one thing, and then another, by shift
ing backward and forward, by changing the
object oi attainment, and by becoming dis.
couraged. when to press vigorously forward,
is the one thing needful to success, that the
positions of so many persons in life are 50
vastly inferior to what might have been ex-
pecied from their natural abilities. II is
the infrmity of tho will oou nteraciing the
strength Of tho understan ding. They have
frittered away taeir talents In trying 10 ac>
complish many shings, and have, naturally
enough, succeeded fully ia none. r,.

being the incest way, the way TO make
the greatest quantity Of effective manure
from given number Of animals.
The method Of composing here de-
tailed may be objected TO because Of the
labor involved. Thereby is, that most
things OF value in this wstld come TO us
only as the result Of diligeni ,unin,ermitt-
ed labor. He who is content to see a.
round him barren fields, scanty ctops,
aud lean starving animals. may pass a
long without devising ways for changing
such condition Of things, growing at
all propositions Of amendment pointed
out TO him, and reaping such returns as
an exhausting, skinning tillage will give
him. But it is far better TO be up and
doing in the manufacture of manure for
the invigoration Of the soil il is both
pleasauter, and more profitable, to be
pursuing an improving, rather than an
exhauslng mode of farming.

The Power of Music in Affiction.

| was one morning seated at Rinck's
piano, singing one Of those songs TO whose
magic influence over me have just nlud.
cd the words were these -
90 Maker as Thy power and might
Thy wondrous- -workir ways;
Tint watchful eye, that knows in night,
Mine awe-struck soul surveys,
Scarce know how my prayers TO frame
Meekly to glorify Thy name
My God, my Lord my Falher!"
Rnck's son and cldes, daughter were
sitting near me; his wife and younger
daughter were continually gong in and
out ol The room, aud appeared 10 be labor
ing under a very unwonted excitement.
Does il not appear TO you," asked I Of
k nck and his children, " that songs such
as these raise US far above all mundane
thoughts that in the moments when our
hearts and souls yield 10 these simple
ye: stirring melodies, we are beyond the
cares and sorrows of this world 7" | OLE
served that as spoke they changed looks
with one another, and Madame Rinck and
her younger daughters rushed out OF the
room We were in, TO one adjoining, and
there sobbed aloud. With fallering voice,
Rinck said, rejoice, my dear friend, to
find you in such frame OF mind this gives
me new courage TO fulfil painful duty
am the bearer of very sorrowiul lidlngs TO
you".-" Ia heavens name," burst forth
" is il my father or m other p" Your Ia
,her," he replied, giving away 10 his feel
ings as he spoke, md weeping in concert
with his son and daughter at my side. ln
that moment OF agony my eyes refused my
tears, my lips denied my words. Then did
the anguish of my heart find uiterance only
in those strains oi Gellert -
Wenn ich o. Schopier," &C.
l involuntarily struck the keys, and as
poured forth the soul'stirring words, nv
heart felt comioried within me. The sees
ing me thus enabeled to bear up against
the blow that had fallen upon me, impaired
conso laIion 10 all around. Madame Rinck
and her daughters successivey re-appe ar
ed, " You have set us all worthy exam
pie" said the minister (Rincks son }; "lne

at the close Of the Republic and the
commencement Of tho Empife. The
great works Of Tacitiis himself are
thought by many to betray the beginning
Of decline in the art, aid The later wfii
tets eihbi, its fall.
The art Of History again revived with
the rise Of the Italian Republics, and
since the revival Of litetstute, at the
close of the Middle Ages,it will probab-
ly be found that three things naturally
rise into importance together /; that is To
say, Civil Liberty. Eloquence, and the
ar, Of historical writing.
Other foundation 10 TO be laid for aui
thentie History than authontica ated facts,
but on this foundation structures may be
raised Of different characteristics, his.
torical, biographal aud philosophical.
One writer may con6ne himself TO abb
trac, and minute narration another;
strue to the general story may embellish
that story with more or less external orr
namen. or eloquence in description
third with deeper philosophical spirit
may look into causes Of events and
transactions, trace them with more pros
found researches TO their soutces 10 the
elements Of human nature, or consider
| and solve with more or less success that
most important question, how far the
character Of individuals has produced
pnblic events, or how far, on the other
hand, public events have produced and
formed the character Of individuals.
Therefore, one history of the same
period, in human affairs, no more ren>
ders another history of the same period
useless, or unadvisable than the struc-
ture Of one temple foibids The erection
Of another, or one statue OF Hercules;
Apollo or Pericles, should suppress all
other attempt, to produce s,atues OF the
same per,ons.-Ertraei from Mr.. Web
ster's Address before tie N. Y. HistoriS
cal Society.

Above all, let il be remembered that per-
fection is only 10 be obtained by devotion
oil the mental or physical powers to the one
sole object, and that every deviation from
the direct path of pursuit, seriously abridg-
es The chances of success.
The first thing which young man re.
quires on setting out in life, is PUaPosE.
The second, is resoluie determination not
to be turned aside by any lures which may
spread themselves across his path. Let him
fix his eyes steadily on any one object and
if he will but work toward it with unfag-
gng and undertaking energy, he will be as
certain of reaching it eventually if life and
heal;h are spared, as the pedestrian is Of
coming 10 the end of his journey, or as the
boy growing 10 manhood.

My Little Friend"

A weary life is mine at best
Few pleasures mine that others share
And of by lonely thoughts opprest,
l, seems that might well despair;
But when my Little Friend see,
A pleasant thing is life to mel
To know that she is at my side,
To hold her little hand in mine,
To watch her eyes that fondly shine,
Her cherub face, that brightcns up
With loves intelligence divine
With this my soul is satisfied,
And drains pure, refreshing cup
OF calm and quiet happiness;
In sweet content then repose
From. sorrows pangs, and passions throos,
Without wish save not TO stir
From one whose very look can blessl
Some wonder what find in her
My heart so strongly to impress
clever child, they must confess,
But nothing more, for all they see,
Than other children OF her age,
Who scarce one thought Of mine engage;
Whence cometh, then, the witchcry
Ihat swayS me IN her sweet control!
No mortal on this sinful earth,
Save ], may ever know her worth;
For WE nave spoken soul to soul,
ana met IN spirit lace TO lace,
When all her minds immo ortal grace,
Love, truth and goodness, shono revealed
