KEEPING PorAroEs IN WINTER


KEEPING PoTAToEs IN WINTER
Potatoes spoilin winter, if buried, from
three causes. First and greatest, want
of ventilation. Secondly, and nearly
allied, dampness. Thirdly, and more
rare, freezing. Farmers find most of
their potatoes spoiled at the top of the
heap, where they suppose they become
frozen; but this is not the usual cause,
the damp, foul, steamy air assembled
there, and could not escape, and this
spoiled them. A hole made in the top
with crow bar, and closed with a
wisp of straw would have allowed
-egress to the confined air, and saved
the potatoes.
The best way to secure potatoes out
doors is to make large heaps, say SO or
60 bushels; see that they are dry and
clean, by digging before wet weather
comes on cover them all over. with
one foot of pocked straw, and three
inches of earth. The straw will pre-
vent dampness, and the few inches Of
earth will favor ventilation. A farmer
who raises many potatoes, and practi-
ces this mode, does not lose peck, on
an average in fifty bushels.

The Human Hand.

Man is, we suppose, the feeblest ami
NAL on earth in proportion to his size,
yet easily walks as sovereign, chains
the behemoth to his march, tows the
Ieviathan by his warp, makes the ever
lasting hills bow before him, lays his
mandate and his chain on the giant
forces of universal nature. And it is
chiefly by means of the hand-by the
elevation, expansion, and more COM
plex organization of the very digits,
which we trace in less perfect develop
ment in the anterior limbs of every
quadruped. The hand-so slender-and
flexible that it mightseem fitted neither
for doing nor enduring, but whose
closely knit wcbwork of nerves and
sinews concentrates the entire strength
of the body, and wields a greater force
compared with its magnitude than is
found in the whole world beside-com-
bining all mechanical powers in one,
the fingers jointed levers, the sinews
pullcys, the wrist joint perpetual
screw, without whose ball and socket
movement no screw Of steel could find
its way into its bed-one movement

derous blows and the next subscribing

microscopic proportions of flower

the machine which renders all other

and to the test for her resources, this
the means and pledge of mans vice

mechanical operation, whether of ruder
handicraft or of the highest art, the
capacity of which is not inherent from
the hand, the direction of which is not
one of the complex movements of
which the hand is susceptible, the eff
cacy of which does not depend in the
las. resort on the guidance or restraint
of the hand. Thus when we make
water or steam take the place nomi-
nally of the hand, it really supplies not
manual skill, but simply a substitute fol

"It is WE'LL"
LAST WORDS OF WASHINGTON.

There is quiet over Vernon's hill,
A deep repose about the sacred scene,
A beauty void of pride, that does not chill
The heart, but makes it calm-serene
The silence of the death-bed still is there,
OF footsteps hushed of mourners on the stair.
OF eyes that watch the cold eath-fnger trace
Eternity upon the chieftain's face.
And those few words, the last that from him fell,
Have settled on the landscape like spell
Hill, Wave and Forest breathing-"H 1t is sOeU."
Calm as the warrior heart that sleeps above,
Potomac rolls its clear blue wave below,
And on its breast the white winged vessels move,
Homeward or outward bound they 60
Yet for moment pausing on the wing,
A light cloud starts beneath, and seems to cling
Against the bow--then lifts towards the sun,
And the deep music of the Tribute Gun
Floats Ger the wave and wakes the quiet dell
" Peace to thy sleeper, Vernon, such the swell
A voice is felt in answer" 1t is sceH''
And yet the Hero's tomb is dark with age,
stately ruin is the mansion home;
What should have added beauty to the page,
And in completeness bound the matchless tome,
Stands as the writing in Belshazzar's halls
The GO Meme 7skez," of Columbia's walls
Weighed and found wanting-recreant to the trust
Freedom bequeathed us in our Hero's dust;
And yet we boast he has brighter cell,
A filter for his own great soul to dwell
The hearts of living milious !-"H is acez."
The voice of women soft and low, but clear,
Speaks in the land; Hope spreads her wings anew
All is not lost when woman's smile and tear
Lend to cause a sunlight and dew
To save his home from ruin and from blight,
Who drove from ours oppresson's darker night,
Demands an interest whoever pleads =
Who shall refuse when woman ntercedes?
Speed on the happy mission that so haply fell
| Mid hearts so wa N. God aid them soon to tell
To listening ears and anxious" 1t IS aceH."

Old Letters.
BIZ FRANCIS BROWN.

Il
Come from sinner, or from saint, ffr
Cast them in, for the fire is faint;
The fire is faint and the frost is strong,
And these old letters have lived too long,
How welcome once it matters not,
Their worth away with time has sped,
The love is over, the hope is dead,
And the old friend has forgot.
Cast them in, they're hard to keep,
And will not let ones memory sleep,
For hints Of age, and tales of change
Oh, but the turns of life are strange;
The world whereof they speak is gone
How bright they come and how dim they paTs
These passing ages of the heart,
While life and we wear on.
Cast them in, why should they last
When the light we read them by is past
And never again viii gild our days.
Up like banner goes the blaze
1t is waste paper and nothing more;
Some have been treasured up for years,
Some are blotted with heavy tears,
Anf some our dreams read Ger.
These are sprinkled with many VOW,
The love was never as warm as now
Those by trusty hand were penned-
Woe is me for that friendships end
There goes page of boyish rhyme
That was sheet of good advice
We took our own way on the ice,
And learned the worth of it all in time.
One glossy curl of wavy gold
Was hid in this burning letters gold;
'Tis long since that golden head grew gray,
And the grave where it rests is far away
Up in its might the broad fame flashes
And there they lie, in what all our aims
Seekings and strivings hopes and schemes,
Must come to-dust and ashes

| am informed that when the Cass- Ylisarri
treaty was received in London, 1t was SUBJ
mltted by the ministry to the law officers of
the crown, to know if it conflictcd with the
Clayton. Bnlwer treaty, and these returned it
with the declared opinion that the two trca-
ties do not conflict in any particular. 1t is
supposed that the communication Of this fact
to the President by Lord Napier, has some
thing to do with the indifference of the former
to the immediate abrogalion of the Clayton
Bulwcr treaty by Congress.
1t is also asserted that Monsieur Sartiges
has officially informed the government that
the Emperor finds nothing in the Cass Yrisarri
treaty inmical to the interests of France
These facts are supposed here to indicate an
entire acquiesccncc by Great Britain and
France in Mr.. Buchanan's policy in the
Central American questions.
