A HAY-FIELD ANEcDoTE.-That is a good
story, which may have been heard in more than
one Yankee bayfield, last summer. We heard
1t one day, when on a visit 10 the country, we
went out to show some men how TO " pitch. ~
We had failed, and wilted down under hay
cock, and lay flushed and tanning the glow
and sweat of our features in comfortable po-
siilon, when one Of the jolly haymakers related
the anecdote of the old man who was always
Dragging how folks used to work in his Young
er days, aud challenged his two sons together
to pitch on load of hay as fast as he could
load it,
The challenge was accepted, and the hay
wagon driven ronnd, and the trial commenced.
For some time the man held his own very
creditao'y' calling out tauntingly -" More
hay more hay!"
Thicker and faster it came, whole hay-cocks
at time, cloud after cloud overwhelming
The old man was nearly covered up; still he
Kept crying, More hay more hay ~ until.
struggling to keep on the top of the disordered
and iil'arranged heap, it began first to roll,
then to slide, and at last of il wen, from the
wagon, and the old man with il.
What are you down here fort" cried the
boys. VIZ
-" | came down after hay" answered the
old man, .stoutly.
Which was "A literal fact he had come down
AFTER half wagon load, which had to be pitch.

THE SLEEPING DEAD.
ny II. W. LoNGFELLow.

When the hours Of day are numbered,
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul that slunibered,
To holy, calm delight
Ere the evening lamps are lighted.
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the ftful freight
Dance upon the porlor wall
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved, lhc true-hearted,
Come to visit me once more.
lie, the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife,
BY the roadside fell and persisted,
Weary with the march of life
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spake with us on earth no more
And with them, the being bcautcous,
Who unto my youth Was given,
More than all things else TO love me,
And is now a saint in heaven.
With slow and noiseess footstep,
Comes that messenger divine
Takes the vacant chair beside me.
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at me,
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars, so still and saint-like,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, yet comprehended,
Is the spirits yoiceess prayer;
Soft rebukes, in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips Of air.
OH though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If but remember only
Such as these have lived and died

IRISH" POTATOES.

Why is the term lrish," applied TO the
potato, which is VIGOROUSLY {" Native Amer
icanl" don't reculect ever to have seen
the question answered, but it is probably owing
to the manner Of its introduction into this part
Of America. To get at the whole story, we
must 90 back some two hundred years, and
turn to the history of England.
Ireland was subjugaled to the English throne
by Elizabeth but the more difficult task Of ele-
waiting the inhabitants from the degradation of
semi-barbarsm. and reconciing them TO the re-
strants of law aud habits Of industry, devolved
upon the " Virgin Queens" successor, James
the first Though the Scotch successor com
pared poorly as sovereign with Elizabeth,
still his policy toward Ireland was wise and
successful. Immense portions OF the North OF
Ireland had become forfeited to the crown, and
in order to introduce the arts of civilization and
prosperity, company was formed in London
for the purpose of planting colonies on the
crown lands of Ireland Among the colonies
sent out, was one of Scotch Presbyterans, who
were regarded with especial favor by James.
They settled near the town of Londonderry,
and by their frugllity, enterprise and industry,
they soon surrounded themselves with all the
blessings and comforts of prosperity and thrift.
But under Charles the first, and afterwards I'M
der james the second, Roman Catholicism
gained the ascendency, and it was with the ut
most difficulty that Protestants held fooIhold
in ireland, The seige of Londonderry had
hardly parallel in history. After the over
throw of the Roman Catholic power by Will
liam of Orange the descendants of the Scotch
colons,s almost unanimously determined not 10
remain where they had suffered so much, and
abandoning Ireland they set sail in five ships
for America.
On the 18th Of October, l7ls one hundred
families of them located in Boston. Seventy
other families landed at Casco, on the coast OF
Maine. Though township was granted to
the emigrants by the General Court of Massa-
chusetts, by whom the character of the emf
grants was probably understood, still the colo
nists generally knew no difference between
these and others from Ireland, and called them
all " Irish" an epithet which was particularly
odious TO these emigfants. They finally Sc
lected as the location of theiT grant township
above lIaverhill now within the limits of New
Hampshire, then known as Nutfeld, but which
the emigranis changed TO Londonderry, after
the name of the place where many of them had
suffered all the horrors of most terrible siege.
1t was these Scottish emigrants who intro
duced the cultivation of potatoes into this coun-
try, and from them probably obtained the pre-
