SCRIPTURE WELL APpLIED.-It is stated
that Bishop--of neighboring state, is
strongly opposed to temperance. A short
time since, Rev. Mr.--of the same de-
nomination, anil member of the "Sons,
dined with the Bishop. who pouring out a
glass Of wine. desired the Rev. to drink with
him. whereupon he replied:
Cant do it, Bishop; "wine is \ morker." "
"Takc glass of brandy, then" said the
distinguished crrlesiasiic.
"Can't do it, Bishop; "strong drink is rag
ing"
BY this time, the Bishop. becoming somc-
what FESTIVE and excited said to Mr. -:
you'll pass the dccarter to the gentle
man next to vou:"
mo. Bishop. can't do that: "Woc unto
him that putteth the bottle to his neishbor's
lips"

SMALL POTATOES FOR SFED.-Mr. {. T.
Alvorl Of Wilmington, w., says: :. Some
eight years since, at the time Of planting nv
potatoes, came short of seed to plant. Pre-
viOus to this time. had used large whole po-
tatoes. or the seed end, cut off for seed, and
supposed that no others would answer. ]
resolved to try the experiment Of planting
email potatoes, the LARGEST being about the
size of common plums. but the most Of them
being smaller. carried several bushels of
these little things 10 The field, and commence
cd planting them. putting from two to four in
a hill. The potatoes in the different parts Of
the field came up at the same time, but the
vines from the small potatoes were not so
large and thrifty as those from the large ones
At the first hooins there was some difference
in the tops, but after that the tops fr m the
small potatoes looked rs we'll as any Of tie
field. and continued so through the season
When came to dig them. ! found the pota-
toes where the small seed was planted, to lie
IS good in every respect as those where the
arXe potatoes were planted. There were
Is many in HILL and the potatoes were az
arge and with a few small ones as those
rom the large l.-Country Grniltman.
ACCRIOCs CAsE.-An amusing irri,lcnt
