CRAEHERIES.

We have frequently, within the last two or
three years. called attention to the Importance
and profit of cutivating the cranberry, and
are glad to know that agitation of the subject
through the columns Of the press has resulted
in the greatley increased productions of this
healthy and palatable fruit. Mr. John Car.
roll, whose farm is in the neighborhood Of
Long-a-comng Camden County, N, j., has
planted out five acres of his upland with sets
gathered in the wild state from the swamps,
portion Of which are in full bearing. They
are planted in squares, one-and a-half by two
ieet apart, and cultivated as corn and potatoes.
The sets spread very fast, and would soon
cover the entire ground, if they were not re-
strained by cultivation, which is necessary, in
order to prevent the soil from being hard and
baked. On marsh land, or on soil that retains

Moisture without cultivation, they may be al
lowed to run into compact mass, as they soon
will, completely covering the ground and fore
ing everything else out of growth. Mr. Car
rolls Geld is high, and of a dry sandy soil,
and notwithstanding the severe drouth, and
only part of his patch at perfection, he sup
poses he will gather this fall at least one hun
bred bushels of marketable berries-worth
from $500 to $500. Cultivated cranberries
are greatly superior in favor and quality to
those grown in wild state and consequently.
command better prices. There are few farm
products that pay as well for the amount Of
labor required as that of the culture of cram
berries, and we arc glad to chronicle the fact
of gradually increasing attention to the bust
ness. Mr.. G. offers to furnish sets to those
desiring them, and we are informed stand OF
place is about to be established in this city
where they will be exposed for sale.

With generous sympathy to all and couldst
Thou idly stand and see thy cOuntry's rights
All tramplsd in the dust so low! All no!
That philanthropic lovs which reigned within

And can 1t be that thou hast plead 10 vain,
Brave hero, patriot, and friend We trust

In Freedoms cause. We laud thy noble mission,
For thou hast touched chord that will not cease

Detain thee here, but bid thee hasten to
Thy fatherland, inspire thy countrymen
With hope, still trusting in that God who gave
Our fathers strength in sorrows darkest hour,
And forward to the future look, to that
Bright day, when bleeding Hungary shall rise
And triumph DER her foe.
May those dark clouds
OF mystic gloom which hung portentous DER

When on each gentle breeze shall proudly float,

A TEA STORY.

Sometime after the introduction of tea into
Massachusetts,, citizen from Cape Cod came
up to Boston, to trade of his fish. The mer.
chant persuaded him to take pound of tea
among other articles of household require
ments.
I've heard of the article, said the Cape
Cod man; but how is it to be cooked?
1t must be boiled said the merchant ;
land is always used when company comes.
The tea was taken home, and it was resolved
to be hospitable. Company was invited to
spend the day.
| At dinner fine piece of boiled beef, and
another of good fat pork, with an accompanl-
ment Of potatoes and carrots graced the ia,
Bile. And now,' said the host as he looked
in Triumph, first to his wife and then to his
guests, whom he served beautifully with the
viands before them, help Mrs. Bassett to
something from that dish
The pewter spoon was thrust into dish Of
well boiled tea leaves, from which the water
had bden carefully strained, and each, from
the architrichlinos down to the youngest guess
was served with quantity of the Chinese
weed, real green Souchong.
Taste Of that said the worthy host i
is tea, such as the quality in Boston and Ply
mouth they make such fuss about.
Each mumbed little of the heritage, anc
carefully rinsed it down with cider, but non'
ventured to criticise the new addition to thu
dinner table.

THE PERILs OF GOLD MINING.-A cores
pondent of the Williamsburg Times, writing
from Australia, narrates the following incl
dents, Imaginative of the dangers which besnt
the Australian miner:
"Perhaps no death is more terrible than
that which awaits the digger. The heavy yell
low dust, with its tempting look, keeps the
miner burrowng in the earth, with thousands
Of tons suspended over his head, and by ten
ure less reliable than that which held the sword
of Damocles. An acquaintance of mine
Nutter, from the State at Maine-persisted in
taking cut rich pillar from very danger
Gus hole, and succeeded but he was not fairly
ON she ground again, when fifteen or twenty
square yards sunk down with dead, heavy
crash. Little stones accidently falling, and
hard lnmps Of dirt, have killed those in holes,
and great care is necessary to guard against
those evils.
"ln another instance: man digging sixty
feet under ground, loosened a large stone, and
found water trickle through where it had been,
but, not dreaming of danger from water, he
stuck his pick in, when the water burst through
with great force, He had the presence of
mind to drop his pick and turn round. The
water drove him violently into the main hole,
and, being swimmer, he kept upright in the
hole until he was drawn up, when carelessiy
getting out, he slipped and fell, loosng his
life by the fall.
/" But Notwithstanding the many accidents
that occur perhaps they are not greater Tor
the persons employed, than in any other BUSH
ness or traffic in life. There are numbers at
the mines who would not go to the bottom OF
some Of the holes for all the gold in Austria
liza !; but the great majority would gladly place
their lives against fortunc-myself for one. u

penalty of the law for cow-stealing. His
wife called to see him few days previous to
his execution, to take her last farewell, when
she asked him
My dear, would you like the children to
see you executed?'
NO. replied he, what must they come
for p .
That's just like you,' said the wife, you
