Without good reason to apprehend

Or, worse than that, your boasted line
May end in a loop Of stronger twino
That plagued some worthy relation
Because You flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty, and put on airs,
With iusoleut pride Of station
Don't be proud, and turn up your nose,

ASK ME NOT TO DRINK.
BY +. H. HUNT.

BY T. II. HUNT.
Fair Lady, ask me not to drink,
\ toast to thee TONIGHT
For broken VOWS and blasted hopes,
Expose the demons blght
Pat back the wine dare not taste
Put back the sparkling bowls
For who hath ouanrd draught so deep,
And reached q blisslul goal
Oh! asl; me not there lies within,
A poison deep and dire !
And every drop hut serves the more,
To fan the latent fire.
Each draueht will qucnch my sense OF guilt,
And blast Youths budding hone;
Each drop will sink me deeper still,
In moral night to gropc.
Oh, press me not to touch the cup,
Within are glnring eyes;
And starving widows, hungry babes,
And freezing orphans cries;
Whom the Gods destroy they first max
drunk,
! Then ask me not TO driul;
Oh tempt me not hnt spare NY soul
/ From deaths eternal brink.
I have three sisters mildly fair,
Like angels round my way,
! Whose love ie like the stars that shine,
/ With undimiuishod ray;
Shall they he doomed. to see me fall,
A prey to maddcnirg drink
And sunlcrcd be tho love that linas,
Or snnpt tie golden link.
Another sloors where sad'y waves
The willow in the vale.

KEEPING SWEET POTATnNs.

The time is near at hand when sweet pota-
toes for next years seed should be packed
away for the winter. and this is Il suitable
time TO give the results of our experience and
observation, for the bcucft Of the reader.
Select fine days during the first aud second
week Of October, and take the potatoes from
the hills, carefully, So as not to bruise them.
let them dry thoroughly, but speedily, either
in the sun. or spread upon the floor under
cover. The boxes or bins for slowing will be
in size according to the quantity You wish to
keep, but in no case over two feet in depth.
Gather sufficient quantity Of sand or fine
road-dust and have it thoroughly screened
and dried. Put a thin layer of sand upon the
bottom Of the box, and lay in course Of po-
tatoes from to II inches thick, then pour
in more sand until it fills all the intersfices
between the potatoes at the bottom Of the
box. When this is done, next fill up the box
with potatoes, and then ugain pour on sand
