As memory awakens thought of the plant,

In pleasing transition my memory haunt.

On the broad sunny hi-sope adjoining the mill,
At the homestead, how many we raised there's no

For some were but small ones and few in the hill.
The mealy potato, the Irish potato,
The thin-skinned potato that grows on the hill.
The deectable plant would praise while Pm able,
For often at noon when returnedfrom the field,

The best favored edible nature could YIELD
With what eager appetite, sharpened by labor,
Piled knife and fork with hearty good wilt
Alasl there are none of the od-fashioned flavor,
None like the real 'Smons'' that grew on the hill.
The meaiy potato, the Irish potato,
The thin-skinned potato that grew on the hill.
How prime from the fulI-heaped dish 10 receive it,
As poised on my fork it ascends to my mouth;
No appeal 10 the palate could tempt me to leave it..
Though Affected by 'srot,'' OF long summers

And now far removed from that loved situation

Fancy fain would revert 10 my fathers plantation,
And sigh for the ''kidneys'' that grew on the hiH

Remarkable Angelic VisitationS in Hancock
County. Ohio.

According 10 the most accurate and reliable
information we can get, Orange township, IN
the southwestern corner of Hancock county, has
RECENTLY been made The favored locality OF one
of these remarkable yisiiations which the people
have learned 10 regard as very etPw and taT be-
twcen"-an angel visit. We briefly give the
particulars as we received them, from source
that all will concede is entirely reliable and
entitled to confidence. Some time IN August
last. bright, intelligent little girl, aged five
wears. daughter of Mr.. Charles, who resides
in the locality described, while near the well
10 the ward, about noon Of the day, seemed 10
discern something high up in the ar, and de-
scentinr toward her. The attention OF the
child was so much drawn TO the object, that her
gaze became riveted upon it, and as 1t drew
nearer, she was observed 10 make frequent at
tsmpts TO reach il with her hands, and form
closer acquaintance with the strange visltant.
When the mother ofthe child was called to the
scene. the little girl informed her that she was
in the presence of an angel; that she had talked
with Il that il had made communications TO
her; and furthermore gave a description OF IT,
according in every particular with the generaiiy
received impression of the appearance OF these
messengers from above. To satisfy herself that
there could be no delusion in the matter, the
mother entered into conversation with the
stranger, and after being satisfied with the re-
aIity of the interview--and after having seen
and talked uith the angel face to face-and after
receiving information from it OF The precise
time when her own death would occur--she re-
tired from the spot, taking her little girl with
her, and the angel waving its bright wings, re-
i turned heayenward

ladder, and in few seconds more was inside Of
the steeple and safe.
Then i was Mr.. KS great courage and
strength forsook him; his nerves and muscles
relaxed; he grew sick unto death his knees
gave way his vision swan, aud he sank upon
the platform motionless and insensibIe. He
must have lain there half an hour before be
could rise and walk, and he did not recover
from the shock for more than fortnight after
ward.
The people gazing up at him from the street
described the scene as painful and exciting in the
extreme When they observed the rod fall,
fhrili of horror ran through their hearts, and
s@o women swooned away for they expected
10 behold him the next moment dashed to pie
ces at their feet.
