How INDIGO ID PREPARED.-The indigo is
n shrub-like plant two or three feet high,
with delicate blue green leaves, which, al
the harvest Time, about the mouth August
are cut off close to the stem, tied into bur-
dies and laid in great wooden tubs. Plauks
are then laid on them, aud great stones to
cause a pressure, and then water is poured
over them, and after day or Two The liquor
begins TO feImeni. Ia this process of fer-
mentaiion lies the principal difficulty, and
everything depends on allowing il 10 conlin-
ne Just the proper time. When the water
has acquired dark green color, il is poured
into other tubs, mixtd with lime, and stirred
with wooden shovels ill blue deposile sep
arates itself from the water, which IS lhel
allowed TO off. The remaing substance, the
indigo, is then put into linen bags, through
which the moisture filters and as soon as
the indigo is dry and hard, it is broken into
pieces and packed up. Indigo is cultivated
in the East Indies 10 considerable extent

DEATH TO RATs.-An ingenious instrument
has been invented by Mr. Saeward, printer,
at indianapolis, Ind, which will be death on
rats. To the ,Geadle on which the bait is
placed, is attached all iron lever communica-
ting with wire spring, TO which is fastened
n sharp instrument, which revolves rapidly
when the ireadle is touched hitting the rat
between the peppers and knocking it six or
eight fee, from the trap, which resets itself
instantly for another rat
WE sometimes get jokes from Illinois, and
the laes, is the following. 1t is good bit
of drollery, quite original, we believe, and
we must put it OH file among the funny
things of the times:
A constable that had lately been iuducted
into office was in attendance on The court,
and was ordered by the Judge 10 call John
Bell and Elizabeth Bell He Immediately
began at the Top Of his lungs:
'John Bell and Elizabeth Bell -
';One at time" said the Judge.
''One al a time one at a time-oNE AT A
TIME" shouted the constable.
"Now you've done it." exclaimed The
judge, out of patience.
"Now you're done it-now qOu're done ii
NOW YoU'RE DONE 1T ~ yelled the con
stable. There was no standing this the
court, bar and bysianders broke into hear,
ty laugh, 10 the perfect surprise and dismay
Of the astonshed constable.

Do They Think OF We.

Do they think Of me, wonder,
In my dear home far away,
When the dusky shades Of even
Shut out the departing day
Do they think Of me, wonder,
When around the winter fire,
In these long December evenings,
Gather parents, children, sire
When their cheerful faces brighten,
With the light Of social bliss;
Do they often then, wonder.
One that 8 absent from them miss
when they sing the old familiar
Melodies Of bygone days,
Do they miss one voice, that often
Used with them those songs to raise =
Do they think Of me ! wonder,
when the ruddy morning bright
Sniles upon the earth, and scatters
Shades and darkness with its light
Do think Of me when evening
Decks the sky with many gem!
or this one thing am certain,
That often think # them.

The Exile.

A pilgrim from the eastern shcre,
Stood on Nevada's strand,
A tear was in his hither eye,
A pick AK in his hand '
A tear was in his hither eye,
And in his left, to match,
There would have been another tcar,
But for healing patch.
And other patches, too, he wore,
Which on his garments hung,
And two were on that ill-starred spot
Where mothers smite their young
His hat that was a Costar once,
Was broken now and dim
And wild his bearded features glcam'd
From out the tatter'd brim.
The pilgrim stood, and looking down,
AS one who feels in doubt,
He sighed to see how fast that pair
or boots were wearing out.
And while he fillol an ancient pipe,
His wretchedness to cheer,
He stopp'd with hurried hand to pick
A flea from out his ear.
Then spoke that pilgrim from the east
." am a wretchcd man
For lust of gold has lured to
The. shovel and the pan.
saw i'm dreams pile Of gold
Its dazzling radiance pour
No more my visions are Of gold,
Alas my hopes are ORE.
"Thricc have left this cursed spot,
But mine IL was to learn
That fatal truth. that DUST We are,
To DUST we must return.
So here condemned, by fates unkind,
Ipass mo wretched span,
And mourn, too late, that e'er l took
The shovel and the pan"
The pilgrim paused, for now he heard
His distant comrades shout;
From his pipe he drew parting Whit,
And knocked the ashes out.
Aud STOPPING as he gathered up
His shovel and his pan,
The breeze his latest accents bore
80 am wretched man."

should bo run with a shovel so as not to

blowing should be done at same interval,
and always with sweeps to lay the corn
by fiat, and plow the peas. Low ground
corn varies from upland only in greater
depth of plowing in the preparation to
insure perfect drainage in these colder
and wetter soils. 1t should always be
planted on a level, but as low down as
possible not to get through the soil; plant
after a large shovel with two small scooter
furrows, and scrape off with a board or
harrow, if baked by heavy rain or wind.
Corn should be kept perfectly clean until
laid by, frequently stirred and constantly

| MUST DIE,

Such, such is my fate, and cannot but sigh,
When I think of the time, and think must die
My young heart is sad when think of the gloom
Of the coffin and shroud and the cold silent tomb
know that my spirit mast soon pass away,
From the scenes of this earth to the region OF day,
For man is but dust, and as quick'as his birth
He is sinking and dying and leaving this earth.
And when am gone to the home Of my rest,
Where angels in quiet doth live and arc blest,
Oh then III be done with this sad sick'nng life,
Audiss cares and its tolls and its wearsome strife.
And when am laid in the cold silent earth,
Oh pillow my brow in the land of my birth;
Yes, let my cold body be laid in the grave,
Where the flags of my country doth constantly
wave.
Bring flowers, sweet flowers, the fairest that
bloom,
And plant them and scatter them fresh by my
tomb,
Let angels, sweet angels, their lone vigils keep,
Till am awakened frem the long night OF sleep

The Culture of the Irish Potato.

Were we to take an agricultural paper
published in Iceland, and find full and
ample directions how to make Iceland
Moss to perfection, should we not be con-
sidered green if we attempted to follow
the directions in this hot climate of the
South :! So with the Irish Potato; al.
though originally Southern plant, yet
it has been brought to its present edible
perfection, in the moist, cold ATTITUDES of
the North, and to succeed rell with it
here, we must make it approximate, as
nearly as possible, to those colder lati.
tudes. If we plant the potato in the
earth after the manner of the North,
they make good early potatoes, but by
the time they have matured, and should
be at the height of their farinaceous per-
fection, from the excessive heat Of the soil,
they have become watery, and when
cooked more resemble balls of putty than
human food. TO have good Irish pota-
toes in this warm climate, plant them un-
der straw, any time, from Christmas until
March. Break up the grouud intended
for the potato bed deeply; manure it well
with any cooling manure-dccomposing
vegetable substances are best. Open fur.
rows six inches deep, and eighteen inches
apart, fill the iurrow nearly full of any
well.rotted manure. The potato should
have been cut once in two, at least two
weeks before planting; plant the potato
cut side down, on the manure in the fur
row, twelve inches apart now cover the
whole with the earth on the ridge, and
then cover the whole bed with eth r
wheat or pine straw-the deeper the straw
the better, and the more of the potatoes
there will be. The rains beat down tn
straw, moisture is engendered next the
earth, and an even temperature is pre-
served, keeping the potato cool, and CIV
ing it that peculiar meaiy quality, without
which, an Irish potato is the meanest of
all human food. No fears need be en-
tertained but what the tops will find their
way through the straw they will find the
light, and the potato will make as high
up in the straw as the moisture comes.
There is no after culture after Planting
the yield is greater, and the quality equal
to the best imported Who will eat put
ty balls, when they can have as well
mealy potatoes?-Soil of the South.

THE COUNTRY GIRL.

&c country lads who till the earth,
Whene'er You want q buxom wife,
Who'll be contented by your hearth,
And lead with you quiet life,
Before you take the leap look we'll
Though doubtless you might WOO and win her
We'd not gadding city belle
She could not even get your dinner.
What though her form to you might be
Fair as an angels form in heaven,
And on her check the rose You see,
'Tis not the rose by nature given
That bloom removed discovers there
The pallid check, the sickly hue,
The aspect far more foul than fair,
Of one who finds no work to do.
No, seek some charming country lass,
Who'll waste no time before her glass,
But faithfully perform her duty;
Who worships not at fashions shrine,
Who heeds not charms that bloom to perish,
And who would sooner life resign,
Than one unhalowed feeling cherish.
And if she knows not waltz nor reel
Hath never touched piano key,
There's music in her spinning wheel
That's better far for her and thee.
Then seek not dolls from boarding schools,
Or flirting bellies within the city,
Rp, leave them To their dandy fools.
Who think themselves so wise and witty.

DFaR Sir: I have been using one of your
Slraw Cutters or some three or fLtiT months,
ani am satisfied tnat It's advantages over nil
others, are such that it will recommend itself to
every observer. Its a1aptedness to cutting all
kinds of grain, in any desirable length, its security
to the operator, the minimum of power REQUIRED
to keep it in operation, the dispatch with which
it executes its work, combined with its simplicity
and durability, must make it invaluable to every
one that may have use for them.

MILK CLEAN.-When milk is drawn
in the usual way from the cow, the last
Of the milking is much the richest; this
is because the cream has in great part
risen to the surface, inside the cows ud-
der; the portion last drawn off, then, of
course, contains the most Of it. Such a
fact shows the Importance of thorough II
and careful milking. More milk is said
to be obtained from the COW when she is
MIXED three times a day, than when but
once or twice, but in this last case it is
very rich.

LIME IN OLD GARDENs.-Old garden
soils which have been very literally ma
nured, sometimes become sour for want
of an alkali, and in such cases the use of
lime and even of quick lime, is judicious.
The decomposition of fetid matters is
thus secured, and the acid products of
previous deccmpositions are neutralized,
willie the soil is rendered more pulveru.
lent, and less inclined to cake from ex.
treme heat or moisture.
