THE PoTAroE CRoP IN WIsccNsIN.-By way
Of accounting for the unexpected and hor eless
defeat Of the Republican patty in Wisconsin.
their rarers allege that an immense number of
their voters, (say a. or 50,000,) stayed at home
to dig potatoes, and 50 let tic party slide to
ruin
The plea recalls to mind an old story told of
Deacon II. and his Po'atoe cror, in Western
New York. He had 'anted large field and
raised two or three thousand bushels--se many
that he couldn't raise help enough to got them
out of the ground, and SO lost the er. ater part.
In his fervent prayer on Thanksgiving morning,
the Deacon touched ulon the subject somewhat
after this fashion:
"Oh Lord, we thank thee for all thy mercies
and the blessings thon hast sent US !; for the
health thy PEOPLE have enjoyed, the abundance
with which thou hast rewarded the labors Of the
year, and especially for the bountsous lotatoe
crop OF thy unworthy servant, but you don
catch him in that scraps again, Lord -
We leave it toour Republican friendsto max,
the apflisstiop.-Baayer Ssate.

OccuPArIoN.-The want of proper
occupation is the cause Of more than
half of the petty frets of life. And
right occupation will be medicine for
half the minor ills of life. A man with
out any proper aim in life, without NOR
al inspiration, too rich to be Industrious,
and prey to the thousand frets Of un-
occupied leisure, sometimes sets him
self to pray against his troubles.
Now man might as we'll pray against
the particles Of sand in sahara, as a lazy
man to pray against petty troubles.
Therefore it happens, sometimes, that
bankruptcy brings man what all his
wealth failed to give-happiness for he
has real trou6ies. and trouble is a good
medicine for trouble. There is NOR.
al counter litation.-H Ward Brecch.

D- A horrible death is reported in Columbia,
California. A man named Rules having been
indulging rather freely, and being rather noisy,
a fliend volunteered to see him home: After
some trouble he was mounted on his friend g
horse and for greater security his legs were tied
together under the animal. lie animal became
restive. reared and fell back on his rider, but
Immediately sprang up and gallofed away like
the wiad. AS the horse got to his feet the sad
die turned with Rules, and being fastened to the
beast, at every bound his head dashed against
the ground. The Mazepra-like ride was check
ed at upwards of a quarter of a mile from the
starting place. Rules was taken from the horse
dead and horribly mangled. His arm was bro.
ken in several places, and his brains mingled
with the dust of the rOad-Er.

Over the way.

When cold-hcarted poverty knocks at my door,
And robs me Of blessings gathered before,
Takes glass from my table, coal from my FIRE,
And robes my dear Nelly in mcaner attire,
envy sometimes in the heat of the day,
My very good friend who lives over the way.
But when lit down at my pleasant fre-side,
And count DER the joys was never denied
My sweet little wife, and the babes at her knee,
Ny health and my conscience unsullied and free /;
No longer l suffer my wishes to stray,
Or envy my friend who lives over the way.
He's wealthy, but feeble he's titled, but old
His son is a spendsbrift, his wife is a scold
Suspicious Of others, ill-pleased with himsels
His only delight is to reckon his pelf,
Were he ten times rich. I'd refuse night and day,
To exchange with my friend who lives over the may.
Though Poverty, frowning, peers into my door,
III neither be beaten nor vainly deplore
I'll scare him away by hard work if can,
And look in his face with the heart of man
And hiying at home all the joys that may,
Forgot my poor friend that lives over the way.

Rory's Kissing.
BY MAC.


Bout kiss do you ask , It's me that can tell
For, ould as I'm now, I'm mindng it well,
When q spalpeen Of three, with how much delight
My mother kissed Rory and bade him goodnight
But my mother she died and left Rory behind,
And the lasses met brought her SO to my mind,
That at kissing went, first and then another,
Because they wore bonns.s and looked like my
mother -s H.
At last, would you believe It swate Bridget oFnn
Had scarcely been kissed when she kissed me again,
And tould me Praest, away down in the city,
Would say, if we'd ask him, a bit Of dtty.
"A ditty, swate Bridget, and what might it be ;"
''Never mind, my dear Rory, but come just wild mep
We trudged to the city, and sure as my life,
He said q short ditty, and called her my wife.
We got wee cottage, a pig and a spade
Bridget sickened we hired her sister for maid
The maid was KISSING, when, true yer there,
felt the ould divil pulling my hair.
And sort o turned round to be getting sight
What did diskover. Instead of an elf
swate Bridget O'Flaherty there jst, herself
"O'Rory !" she blubbered, still pulling away,
"But sick is my heart wild yer conduct to-day
A kissing my sister while I'm in my bed,
Nor able to raise from the pillow my headl"
"Troth my Bridget" says l, "perhaps ye can mind
When YE to the kissing were greatly inclined
Ye kissed me and kissed me at Donnybrook fair,
And now by the jabers ye're pulling my hair.
Begone ye ould fool wild q rumpus like this,
I'm only LARNING YER SISTER TO KISS"

There I sat in passion,
sulking and there sat She
Swinging In the long grapevine
Looped from the great aeh-trcc.
Sitting at ease, and singing.
Teasing, dainty-formed thingI
Slender, white feet, just grazing
Moses under the swing.
Sunshine speckled tho rose-leavos,
Sunshine dript on her hair
Odious, stealthy sunshine
What bold thing you arc
Oh what glistening shoulders
Oh, what cruel white arm,
Reaching up for the blossoms,
Just on purpose to charm
That little bow-fashioned mouth,
Aiming kisses at mine
Confound its poppy-red bliss
Mischieyous-but divine.
Deck'd like little princess,
Sitting in gorgeous state P
Crown'd with her tiger-lilies,
Tawdry blossoms hate
Pclting my hat with roses,
In rapid, Haunting showers,
Winding her brook-like laughter
In and out with the flowers.
What could I do, but love her
Dearer than ever yet
What COULD I do--al vanquished
Lion-like in a net .
Oh for heart Of marble I o. .- .. ..
Else 'twould peril King

A FEARFUL WARNING-On Tuesday last,
Mrs. Groom, of Brooklyn, attempted to start a
fire in a stove by means of paper saturated with
burning fluid. She was sitting down at the
time, and placed the can of fluid on the floor
by her side. In applying match to the satu-
rated paper, the fire was communicated t, the
fluid in the can, and an explosion followed
The fire set the underclothing of Mrs. Groom
on fire, and she was burnt ia the waist in so Sc
we're q manner that she died on Sunday last.
