Why se7astopol is not taken.

No wonder this strong Crimean for
tress has not fallen! We see through
the affair at once. A letter from the
camp, speaking Of the entente cordial
between the allies, says -''lhc com
mon saying among our men is, "Oh let
the French get at them!" and they
the French say the same of us. -
Here wc have the cause at once: The
French cry, "lct the English do it
and the English return the compliment,
and say, "lct the French do it" OF
course, after this specimen Of conye-
nicnt determination, Sevastopol stands
where it did; and, meanwhile, Men
schikoff laughs heartily at the admira-
Bile cordiality that prevents either par
ty attacking the place. What an in

A MAYOR. CrRcuMvENrED.--The

II 1A1Ok' NlhOuMfEN4ID' NJ
Mayor of Detroit determined, o few
days since, to put stop to the driving
of fast horses through the principal
streets of that city. So, in company
with posse of policemen, he walked
deliberately through the middle of JET
ferson avenue, q beautiful, wide street,
which is generally tho course for trot-
ters. Arrived at the end Of bis prom
enade, the worthy Mayor was fatigucd,
and gladly accepted the invitation Of
10 gentleman to take a seat in his cut
ter. No sooner was he seated than
the horse broke into a 2.4O pace and
the conservator Of public morals found
himself flying along at speed quite
destructive Of anything like dignity,
and entirely subversive Of municipal
discipline. The proprietor and driver
of the sleigh made the most strenuous
efforts to stop his horse, and pulled up
on the lines till his arms were lame,
which everybody knows is the way to
stop one Of our American trotters, but
the animal could not be induced to tar
ry, and dashed on, The other fast
ones in the street, seeing the Mayor
set the example, at once entered into
the contest, and a merry time was the
result. The owner of the horse has
since expressed his extreme regret that
his animal should have behaved so bad
ly and threatens to sell him, while the
Mayor has not since been seen promo
nading the avenue.

does not rest against the oIchard grass

Planting Potatoes.

It is a settled conviction Of the wri.
ter, that New York farmers ought to
plant more potatoes than we have for
a few years past, notwithstanding the
liability Of losing share of them by
the rot. For when the disease prevails,
unless there is large quantity planted,
an uncomfortable scarcity is the conse-
cuence; aud if the crop is good and
sound, they are one Of the most profta'
ble ops-apples exceptel--the n;il,h.
ern farmer eau raise 10 feed stock oi
most kinds; so that we cannotgo amss
in putting in good supply.
The principal object of this commu'
nication is, to suggest few thoughtsi in
regard TO their cultivation. 90
3Ylcnt three or four different varieties
I have for several years, observed that
ia one season, one or two kinds will do
tolerably well, while others nearly fail ;
and, perhaps, the next yeor some other
varieties will do the best. But partic-
ular pains should be taken to keep the
varieties unmixed, for they will yield
better, and are more convenient to cook;
as all kinds do not require the same
time to boil; and if for market, will
sell better. Another thing I have OBJ
Served is, that frequently late planted
potatoes Weld much better than early
planted ones. Putthess are exceptions
and not the rule. Therefore, to make
as sure as possible Of getting enough.
it is best to have two or three plantings.
The largest quantity should be plant
ed early, and, as a general thing, the
earlier The better; but do not neglec.
to put in little patch the fore part Of
June, for a reserve i'll case early plant.
ing should fail.
Different methods Of planting and
cultivation are worthy of attention.
For in the varying seasons of onr cli-
mate, what may he the best method one
year, mty entirely fail the next; and
we know not what the season will be,
wet Gr dry, cold or Hnt, until we have
passed through 1t, and it is then too late
to alup, our system to the climate.
At another time | may give what !
consider some Of the hast methods Of
cul,iva,ion.-Am. Farmer.

ECCESTRTC COURTSHIP.

A eminent divine who is as well
known as he is universally respected
many years since was led to the con-
clusinn that "it was not we'll for man
to be Alone" ..H YE
After considerable pondering, he re.
solved to offer himself in marriage to a
certain fair member of his flock. js
No sooner was the resolution formed,
than it was put in practice, and getting
out his cane, he speedily reached the
dwelling ofhi mistress.
1t CHANGED to be Monday morning, a
day which my New England readers
need not be told is better known to the
household as washing day. Unconscious
of the honor which was intended her,
the lady was standing behind the tub in
the back kitchen, with her arms INNER.
sed in the suds, busily engaged in an
occupation which, to say the least; Is
much more usefu. than romantic.
There was loud knock heard.
|
"Jane, go to the door, and if it's any.
body to see me, tell them that am en-
gagged, and cannot see them. =
Thu message was faithfully rehear
sed.
"Tell your Mistress" said parson B.
"that tits very important that should
see her. a3asi4
"TeIl him to call in the afternoon
replied the lady, when the answer was
returned, "and | will see him." l#
But it was unavailipg; I must see
her now" said the minister" tell me
where she is" a f1
So saying, he followed the servant in
to the kitchen, TO the great surprise ol
her mistress. e:a 4.rf
"Aliss -, I have come to the
conclusion to marry. Will you have
mel' was the minister's opening speech
"Have youl" replied the as,onished
lady. "This is singular time to ottel
yourself. Such an important step should
be a matter ofprayer and deliberaslon.'
"Let US pray!' was Mr.. BIS only re-
spouse as he knelt down beside the tub,
and prayed that uniun might be form
ed which would enhance the happiness
Of both parties.
His prayer was answered, and from
this union thus singularly formed. has
sprung a family remarkable for talent
some nfwhom have made mark which
will not speedily be efacel. The rea::
der will credit my assertinnl when
state that one of his family has written

Oh the robins that sing in tic Summertime,
Have come to the old elm tree; 81
Their flight has been long, from far off cline
Over mountain and valley and lea.
From land that is faiter and brighter than ours
They have has,ened with tireless wings
To sing mid the leaves and the springing flowers
Which the North.land Summer brings.
They came round our home when chill was the
mir,
And the snow.aakes were hurrying past,
They pcrchcd on the boughs that wcro lcaaes'
and bare,
And swccty they sung mid the blast.
There we're cheerful smiles in the household
room, .. ia.
Where we heard that first glad song,
When tho sunshine banishcd the Wintry gloom
That had shadowed the earth so long.
The snow.drift melted soon from the hill,
And the waters rushed on their way;
The gurgling brook, and tho laughing fill,
How free and how happy were they.
Like blessing then, the April ruin,
|. Fell down to the earth SO light, y 't"
And it pattered against the window.panc, 'a
As it fell through tho livc.long night ~
Now tho sun shines warm on tho meadow land
And tho woodland shades are dense;
The old trees sway, and thrilling and grand,
Is the music that comes from thence.
White roses bloom, by the wlndow-sill,
Where hear the bluc.brd's lay;
And my heart doth bound, and my pulses thrill
With joy, through the long, bright day.
For my life is yet in its earliest Spring,
And rcck not Of lonelier hours; IT,.
With the birds, all day, it is sweet to sing,
10 smils with the opening flowers,
The Summer hath promise as bright for nc;
And fear not the Autumn blight;
Though silent the valley Of death may be,
And long and dreamlcss the night.

An Important Distcvcry.-A Paris
journal states that the bad smell ant
taste of butter, may be entirely rcmov.
ed by working it over in water mixed
with chloride of lime. Tho discovery
was made by a Brussels farmer whose
practice it is to take a sufficient guam
tity of water to work it in and put in
from 25 to 30 drops of chloride oflime
for every ten pounds ofbuttor. When
it has been worked until the whole has
been in contact with the water, it should
be worked again in pure water, whcr
it will be found to DO us sweet as wher
first made.
