REMEDY FOR THE PoTATo RoT.-The New
England Farmer gives remedy for the potato

used was introduced into this town by my fa-

$50 bushels to the acre. l plant several kinds

to regard it as the only reliable kind; and
therefore plant the principle part of this sort.

farmers may not know that there is kind of
potato, and that very good one, which thsy
can always safely and proftably raise. No
one can say, of course, that they never will
rot, but my own experiences is, they never
have.

In childhood have often play'd
At blowing bubbles in the air, and seen
Them rise in wondrous beauty to the skies,
And shine all glorious with reflected light;
And though understood not, admired,
And marverd end rejoiced that such things were;
And then felt what must ever feel
That I'd rather sink, a SHATTERED atom.
One instant to exist all radiant
With the coloring Of heaven, and then die
Crush'd with the weight Of light! than grovel on
Like the poor earth; worm, still upon the earth,
Housing itself in darknesss-Then blame not
If yet cherish my bright childhood's faith,
And strive 10 pierce the clouds, that from my sight
Still veil eternal truth in mystery.

ANeALs ON EARTH.


It some times chances, in this worh Of woe,
That lovely flowers in gloomy forests grow, lt
Which freely lend their sweetness to impart
A sense of pleasure to the strangers heart.
They come to cheer and bless, like showers Of rain
That fail in mercy on the parched plain.
And bloom in beauty, fair as though the light
That shines from heaven had never been from sight
These flowers are emblems Of the angels fair
That oft appear, mans lot to bless and share.
He dwclls within a dreary forest wild,
No cheering sun has ever on him smiled,
His way is hedged with thorns, his soul is sad
He spies angel in loves vestment clad;
Kind words are spoken, and his grief has flown,
His heart is cheered--for he is not alonej
An angel ministers to him, and polnts above,
Bidding him cast his care on endless love. ..,. =
He lifts his eyes to heaven, and there behold,
The azure sky, touched with tinge Of gold,
Giving him promise Of brighter day,
A life more calm, more clear his onward way.
And angels, too, appear when Death comes nigh,
To wipe the bitter tear from Sorrows eye
They whisper of that bright aud blessed shore
Where pain and suffering will be more.
Oh! there are angels near US all the while,
That guard our homes, aud sweety on US smile
They minister 10 dli-sometimes unseen
And change LIES desert to living green.

SIN Stocki,aqs and White KIDS.

The ministers of these churches think it SO
sweet and genteel to attack sin indirectly. But
the Gospel is direct and revolutionary. There
was meaning in the declaration of Jesus that
he came to send sword and not peace. The
Savior wants stout, brave men, not gentle
men in silk stockings and kid gloves. Their
preaching must be hold and appicatory. The
Gospel it is true, is very inconyenient to SIN
ners, but it must be preached. SO that drunk
ards, stingy, grabbed souls, unjust men, and
oppressors. will feel that it is after them.

His, CDR Bushnell's,) mind is one Of no
common force or compass. Original, inagin-

that he should make an impression upon the

1t is quite obvious, we think, that DIR.
Bushnell has conceived the idea of converting
the Unitarians, by fusing their views and those
of the Orthodox together. in the crucible of
profounder philosophy, by dissolving scrip
tural truth, so to speak, in an oriental atrnos-
phere. The UnItarians of New England, it
will be remembered, include very consider
able part of its intelligence, wealth and re-
fnement. There is an enchantmsnt about
these circles, at Boston and Cambridge, in

as within it. 1t were great feat of spiritual
ambition, not to speak of nobler motives, to
bring in, on the deep current of Platonism, a
compromise, that, melting New Haven, and
Cambridge together, might re-unite all the
Congregational churches, and present the
finest essence of New England mind and char

Why, it is perilous to live When preachers
shall do their duty faithfully, there will be
less dogs to bark. They aretold to mind their
