END OF GREAT MEN.

Happening to cast my eye upon a
printed page of miniature portraits, the
.personages who occupied the four most
conspicuous places were Alexander, Han
nibal, Cesar, and Bonaparte. 1 had
seen the same unnumbered times before,
but never did the same sensations arise
in my bosom as my mind hastily glanced
over their several histories.
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy heights of his ambition, and with
his temples bound with chaplets dipped
in the blood Of countless nations, looked
down upon a conquered world. and went
that there was not another world for him
to conquer, set city on fire, and died in
a scene of debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the aston
ishment and CONSERVATION of Rome.
passed the alps; after having put to fight
the armies of this mistress of the world.
and stripped three bushels of gold rings
from the fingers of her slaughtered
knights, and made her very foundations
quake-hed from his country, being ha-
ted by those who once exultingly united
his name 10 that Of their god, and called
him Hannibal-died at last by poison,
administered by his own hands, unla-
mented and unwept, in foreign land.
Cesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities, and dyed his garments in
the blood of one million of his foes, after
having pursued to death the only rival he
had on earth, was miserably assassinated
by those he considered his nearest friends.
and IN that very place, the attachments
Of which had been his greatest ambi-
ton.
Buonaparte, whose mandate kings and
popes obeyed, after having filed the earth
with the terror of his name, after having
deiuged itwith tears and blood.and clothed
the world with sackcloth, closed his DAYS
in lonely Punishment, almost literally ex-
lied from the world, yet where he could
sometimes see his country's banner wa
wing over the deep, but which could not
or would not bring him aid.
Thus four men who, from the peculiar
situation Of their portraits, seemed to
stand as the representatives of all those
whom the world call great; those four
who, each in turn, made the earth trern-
bic to its very centre by their simple
tread, severally died-one by intoxiea-
hon' or, as some suppose, by poison min
gled in his wine-one a suicide-one
murdered BY his friends-and one in
lonely exile. How are the mighty fallen !

Protecting Corn from Crows, &c

Your correspondent from Cream Hill,
says the pig with full belly will never
root around, or a hen with a full crop
scratch the ground. This is not so. A
pig, filed to repletion, will dig into the soil
for worms, moisture, or the mere fun of
roofing. So with hen: give her corn
or bread crumbs, she will eat until salts
fed, and leave to scratch. Try it. There
are many small worms, insects, pebbles.
&c, in soil, which theyrelish as desert,
which Cream Hill has got in its vocabu-
larry.

NO GLOOM AT HOME.

Above all things there should be no
gloom in the home. The shadows OF
dark discomfort and wasting fretfulness
should never cross the threshold, throw
| inc their large, black shapes, like funeral
| pals, over the happy young spirits gath
cred there. If you viii, your home shall
/ be heaven and every inmate an angel
there. If you viii, you shall sit on a
throne and be the presiding household
deity. OF faithful wife, what privileges,
what treasures, greater or purer than
thine?
And let the husband strive to forget
his cares as he winds around the narrow
street and beholds the soft light illumining
his little parlor, spreading its precious
beams on the red pave before 1t. The
night is cold and cherries, perhaps, and
the December gust battles with the worn
skirts of his old overcoat, and snatches,
with rude hand and wailing cry, at the
rusty hat that has served him many a
year. He has been harrassed, perplexed
| prosecuted. He has bore with many a
cruel tone, many cold word, and nerved
himself up to an energy so desperate that
his frame and spirits are weakened and
depressed; and now his limbs ache with
WEAKNESS; his TEMPLES throb with the
pain-beat caused by a too constant appi-
cation; he scarcely knows how to meet
his wife with a pleasant smile, or sit down
cheerfully to their little meal, which she
has provided with so much care.
But the door is opened, the overcoat,
thrown hastily off. A sweet voice falls
upon his ear, and the tones are so soft
and glad, that hope, ike winged angel,
flies right into his bosom and nestles
against his heart.
The latch is lifted, and the smiling face
of his wife gives an earnest welcome. The
shining hair is smoothed over her fair
brow; indeed she stole little coquettish
glance at the mirror hanging in its narrow
frame just to see if she looked neat and
pretty before she came out. Her eye
beams with love, her dress is tasteful
and-what? Why! he forgets all the
trials of that long, long day as he folds
her in his arms and imprints kiss upon
her brow.
A home where gloom is banished, pre-
sided over by one who has learned to rule
herself and her household, Christianity!
oh he is thrice consoled for all his
trials. He cannot be unhappy; that
sweetest, best, dearest solace is his-a
cheerful home. Do you wonder that the
man is strengthened anew for tomorrow

How to Secure good Radishes at
small Cost.

those not devoting especial attention
to raising radishes usually find it difficult
to secure good crop of tender roots.
We have an abundance of radishes at all
seasons, and that, too, without devoting a
foot of ground to their special cultivation.
As soon as our garden has been plowed
or spaded, we SOW over it a small ouan-
tity of radish seed, broadcast. The sub-
sequent working and planting of the soil
buries these seeds, as they come up we
destroy them as we would weeds, where
there Is not room for them TO grow. But
there Is always some space between rows
or hills OF other vegetables, where soverel
plants may be allowed to remain till large
enough to pull up for the table. Where
ever there Is any space or room, we scat
ter few seeds when hoeing over the
ground to kill weeds. This practice we
follow up through the Summer. and a sin
gle shilhng's worth of seed thus sown in
small quantities, every time we have gone
INTO the garden to work, has furnished ms
an abundance of young and tender rad
lshes at all times. When early peas come
to maturity, we have young beets or rad
lshes growing up on the ground occapied
by them, from seeds which were soon du-
ring the last hoeing they received.
1t Is well known that on manr soils rad
ishes 90 not grow well, but by our plan of
scattering them in every part of the gar
den, we have always bit upon some spot
just suited to produce the incest roots
Where they happen TO be in the way of
other vegetables, or where they produce
tough, strong bulbs, we cut them down
with the hoe and cover them with earth
and they aid to enrich the ground. Thus
used, comparatively small amount Of
seed viii yied a satisfactory and ecouomi-
cal supply.-E. z Times.

The MULE.-Dr. Fisher, Of Fitch
burg, speaks of the relative value of
mules as farm stock, ard especially for
work, thus: He purchased a pair last
spring that weighed 900 pounds each,
and he found that they could be kept
very cheaply compared with horses
His horse, which weighs between LOO
and 1900 pounds, eats more than both
the mules, while they will do nearly
double the work that he will. They will
work more hours, are less subject to dis
eases and accidents, need but little grain
none, except when worked hard. He
had not found any bad tricks in them,
though it is often objected to them that
they are aptto be tricky. They will pay
for good treatment as well as a horse, and
will bear poor treatment much better.

a REMARKABLE FANILT.-There is
now residing within a stones throw Of
our Office an old lady-Mrs. Poll Beeman
"A history of whose family presents the
most striking instance Of prolonged life
that we ever knew or heard Of. She is
now in the ninety-second year of her
age. The decease Of her partner, Tracy
Beeman, occurred but a short time since.
He was two years her senior, and they
had lived together in the same farm house
sixty-nine years. They had q family Of
nine children, the eldest of whom is now
seventy-three, and was married when she
was fourteen! Of the grandchildren
there are now forty-nine, the Oldest Of
whom is aged fifty-six years. There are
alsoone hundred and fifty-six great-grand
children, and eighteen great-great-grand
children. A few are dead, but the family
seems blessed with an iron constitution,
and most Of them are yet living and well.

MELONS, CUCUMBERS, &C..
HOW TO PLANT.

For several years past we have inVa-
riably succeeded in getting an excellent
erop ofmelons, cueumbers, sbuashes, &c.
We first look out for q good supply OF
seed, say ten times as much as would be
needed. if every seed could be insured to
grow. and there wrs no danger of the
young plants being cat off BY bugs. In
stead of paintings few seeds in bills at
the distance they would ultimately bere-
quired to grow, we have put a large guam
tity over over the whole ground; so that
at first we have had a hundred plants
where only one was needed. Sometimes
we have had a plant come up on every
wo inches over the whole bed.
As fast as the expanding leaves of the
vines interfere tcith each other, We cut off
the aceDker ones with pair of shears, so
as not to disturb the roots of those re-
naming. The 'bugs" have always ma
terially assisted in the thinning process,
but we have never failed to find twice or
thrice the needed number of plants en-
tirely untouched. When beyond the
reach of danger from insects, all the
weaker plants are removed and solita-
ry vine left here and there has been
enough to cover the ground.
The same ground will yield much bet
ter by having the vines at equal distan-
ces from each other, than if two or three
are left together in the same hill, since
the roots have more room to grow, and
they find a greater amount of nourish-
ment when thus isolated. The fruit will
also be more solid, and of better quality.
1t should also be remembered that air
and hight are essential to the growth and
maturity Of the fruit; and it is better to
occasionally cut out thrifty plant than
that the ground be too densely covered.
inst vines enough to thinly cover the
ground will produce better than double
this number.-N 7. Times.

Agricultural iaraOine.
From the New England Farmer
LARGE and Small Potatoes.

Large and Small Potatoes.
FRIEND BRowN:-As planting time
is at hand, allow me to revive the Old
theme which has brought into your sheet
statements from so many good, practical
farmers.
Opinions. antagonistic, you have pub
Iisbed at length. I have carefully read
them up, and it is clear to my mind that
large potatoes should have the preference
over small ones, but it is positively con-
trary to all farm practice in planting all
kinds of seed.
What would induce the farmer to rid
die out his smallest grains, or shell OF the
tops of his ears of corn, for seed! Are
not the cases exactly parallel! If we
believe "as a man soweth SO shall he
reap" or, in the maxim of putting 'good
seed in good ground" our anxious hope is
strengthened in the coming harvest.
Now my farming friends, | propose a
plan which will add but little to your la
Dor, and may do much for posterity.
1st. Of all long varieties of potatoes,
cut off the cluster of small eyes, called
the seed end; then cut the potatoes in
quarters, lengthwise, and plant two feet
apart; three to FIVE stalks in hill will
produce more weight than dozen or
more.
I'd. For the next row, leave on the
seed end, and cut in quarters; plant two
feet apart.
Sd. Try the same experiment with the
medium size in the third row.
4th. The same, with sizes from a
Sekel pear to hens egg for the fourth
row, or make two sizes of what is called
small ones and plant in separate rows.
9th. That each row shall be planted
with the same ageight, which is the only
fair test in seeding.
shall look for the first row to pro-
duce as many pounds as the second, with
less small ones; and as to the third and
fourth row, I shall reckon on large de-
cline Of size and weight
Formerly it was said, potatoes hardly
pay for raising, but lately, bag of
money is needed TO supply ones family
with them. Careless cultivation is now
improbable, perhaps disreputable. Ger
tainly the farmer has no cause of CON-
plant as to prices of his products. We
look upon him as the great almoner, dis
tributing the work of his hands to hun
CRY, starving, ungrateful people. We
wish him God speed, aud while skill has
marked the age in the improvement OF
machinery and the arts, every implement
IN husbandry has kept pace with them
sensibly have his burdens been lighteneC
by these ingenious and well timed dis.
coveries. May We look for good list O
potatoe reports next autumn. H. Pooh
Nea0 York, May, 1856.
REMARKs.-We do not fully agree
with friend Poor. The potatoe is not the
seed. We cut minute slip of horse rad.
lsh and plant it, but it produces as large
root as though we had planted a piece
weighing pound, and so with many Other
plants. We have experimental with DO
tatoes for several years, but have moi
been able to see any sort of difference in
the product between planting large OF
small ones. But let us have the exner;.
ment ne suggests, by all means.
