CHILDISH SINCERITY. = A lady who was
quite in the habit of dropping in at neigh
boris, about meal times, in the hope of obtain
ing an invitation to partake with the family, was

tating frankness of child.
Knowing that a neighbor's supper hour was
five, she called in about four, and settled her.
self down for long call.

lady honored with the call had no idea of Civ
ing an invitation, if it was in her power to es-
cape it.
Accordingly, the hour of five brought no in
ucations OF supper. lime wore on, the sun
was near its setting, and still the same.
A little girl, the neighbours daughter, began
to grow quite uneasy. At length, her mother
having gone out for moment, the visitor
SAID
You must come over and see me, Mary,
some time
"No, WON'T" said the child.
"Why not 70
I" because don't like you."
But why don't you like me?'
because l am hungry and want some
supper"

said she shouldn't have supper until you were
gone, if you stayed till midnight
In less than five minutes, the visitor was
marching out of the front door with a very
red face. She has not called to see Marys
mother since.
Little Mary, in her childish frankness, has
not yet learned the important lesson, which
after years will not fail to teach her, viz that
the "truth, however excellent or desirable in

SUBSTITUTE FOR PoTAToEs.-For the last
four years considerable attention has been paid
at the Museum Of Natural History, in Paris,
to the cultivation of plant coming from
China, and known under the name of Dios-
corea Japonica. This plant, says the writer
of paper sent to the Central Agricultural
Society, may, by its size, weight, and hardy
character, become exceedingly valuable in
France, as it will serve as a substitute for the
potato. Its tubercles, like those of Jerusalem
artichoke, resist in the open air, the seyerest
winter without sustaining any injury. Sew
eral specimens Of these roots, of very large
size, were presented in 1852, to the society,
one of which. Of a cylindrical form, was three
feet in length; another tubercle presented in
1858, weighed three pounds, the former hay-
ing been in the earth 20 months, and the lat
ter l6. The flavor of this vegetable is more
delicate than that of the potato. Galigaani.
