We have known a very learned
gentleman to obligingly bring us a
contribution, with the remark that as
we were Of course continually occu-
pied, it must doubtless be quite an ac-
commodation to receive a good article
once in whie--and on examining
the good article" in question, we have
found three gross grammatical errors,
divers sins of awkwardness, and two
words mis-spelled, in the first and sec.
ond sentences. A lecture, which will
bear printing as tbs delivered, is an
exception; and, III word, there are
very few men, who have not served a
regular apprenticeship to the types,
who can sit down and, without "halt
or let" express their thoughts readily
and fuently in writing. Yet, with
all this, we daily meet with gentlemen,
who, because they have made an oc.
casional "hit" in a letter TO a friend or
have elaborated a drawling story or
poem in some incautious paper, talk
daringly and dashingly Of journalism,
and graciously inform us how they
would make things fly round if they
we're only editors.
Singularl Every man, no matter
how stupid he is, always seems to be
morally convinced that, if verything
else fails, he can either manage farm
or edit paper; and experience shows
that where there are a hundred edu
Gated young men capable of success
fully practising a profession, there are
not more than one or two who is real
ly enough of genius, scholar and
a man to make good editor. In
fact, though all the world reads pa
pers, there are very few, out of the
business, who have ever taken the
pains to acquire much information
relative to it; and the natural conse
.ouence is that its difficulties are un
appreciated. .-PhiiG. Bulletin.

is necessary to totally exclude the air

agricultural,
Cultivation Of Petatoes.

Mr.. Mason's procedure was as fol-
lows: After, as we have said, plow,
ing deep, he laid out the field with
the plOw for the seed, drawing fur.
rows three inches deep, two feet and
half apart; in these were dropped
potatoes fifteen inches apart. They
were covered by throwing a ridge ov.
er each row, four inches above the
general level-the potatoes therefore
being hnried several inches deep, but
only three below the general level
Ten days after the piece was cross
narrowed level, Or nearly so, and then
left till the rows could be distinctly
seen; then the earth was again thrown
in ridges, covering the potatoes; this
was done by plowing twice to each
row; then, the same day that which
was ridged was narrowed flat, there
being no more plowed than could be
leveled before night. When the plant
had attained a hight of six or eight
inches, they were titled either with
Shares horse-hoe Or with a light plow,
according to the soil (Which in some
parts was too grassy to use the horse
hoe TO advantage3 by this operation
the potatoes were pretty well earthed
up. Atterward the horseshoe was
used again as a weeder, and nothing
more has been done, save to go thro'
once and pull the few big weeds Which,
were in the rows, so that they escaped
the piowings and horse-hoeings. The
hand hoe has been used in a few spots
only, where sods on the surface made
it necessary.
AS the result of this mode of cnl-
ture, which we have SO infinitely des-
cribed, we saw more than three acres
Of potatoes, and not q aCeed in sight.
On land Immediately adjoining we
saw patch Of potatoes, and not a po-
tatoe vine to be seen, without close
scrutinizing--the rag-weed, smart
weed, &C., overtopping everything,
standing, we doubt not, four or five
feet high. Mr.. Mason's potatoes
stand, many of them, erect as rows
of corn in June, and one could see the
whole length OF the rows, and the
vines had made no puny growth eth
er. With some early varieties the
vines had fallen as usual, but were just
as clean and healthy looking. Mr..
Mason holds the opinion that, as q
general rule, the cultivation Of weeds
does not pay as well as some other
things.
Alasl that other Connecticut farm.
ars do not appear to hold to this opin-

Home mnnngenent.

Though the art Of managing q
house may at first seem a very simple
affair, yet there are few people who
do it well. Nearly every woman dis.
likes the worry of over.lnanagement
almost as much as neglect. The great
art is 70 hit the happy medium quiet
ly, and to keep the servants to their
duty without scolding them. 1t is a
great point to live always in the same
manner as regards style, to have the
cloth laid as carefully when alone as
when there is company. When this
is the case, no wife feels afraid Of her
husband bringing in an unexpected
guest; and it is gratifying to her hus-
band to find q guest Of this kind re-
ceived quietly; whereas, nothing can
be more disagreeable to a husband
than to see his house thrown into con-
fusion, his wife cross, and his servants
scrambling to change the things laid
on the table; and in short, everything
going wrong, simply because he had
asked a friend to dine, without giving
a day or two's notice of his intentions
to do so. 1t would be in better taste
to allow the stranger to sit down to a
meal served as roughly as a laborer's
in a hovel, than to attempt to receive
him with eXtempore fnery; for the
awkwardness and blunders Of the
will soon show him the real
state Of the case.

Peach and Honey n Gentleman-
IyDrInk.

Old Judge Cole, of Texas, was
characterized by his attachment to
that seductive beverage called peach
and honey, and by his hatred of whis-
ky and whisky drinkers. While hol-
ding court at Austin, two men were
brought up on charge of a drunken
affray. 1t was plain case; the row
had occurred in the public street in
open day, and there were fifty wit
nesses to the whole transaction. So
the two delinquents pleaded guilty, by
the advice oftheir council, and threw
themselves on the mercy Of the court.
They were then brought up for SEN
tence separately.
"You are guilty of an affray," /"
growled the Judge.
"Yes, your Honor" whined the
offender, thoroughly frightened.
Drunk, | suppose" grunted the
Judge.
"Yes, your Honor" murmured the
prisoner, with some faint hope that
having been drunk would mitigate the
punishment.
Drunk on rye whisky, too, I'll war
rant" roard the Judge in voice Of
thunder.
"Yes, your Honor, drunk on rye
whisky"
"Mr. Clerk, record a fine of $50
against this man." cried the Judge;
''send HIM to Jail for sixty days. |
shall fine the next one who is guilty
under such circumstances 500, aud
send him tC jail lor six months"
This was poor comfort to the unfor,
tunate fellow who was waiting his turn
and now came forward with fear and
trembling. AS he passed along by
his lawyer, that thoughtful gentleman
in his ear: "When the
Judge asks you what you got drank
on, tell him on peach and honey."--.
He took his stand.
"You, too, are up here for an ARRAY"
growled the old Judge, gnashing his
.eeth, as if he would like to bite the
,ulprit at the bar.
"Yes, your Honor"
Drunk, too, | suppose"
"Yes, your Honor; sorry TO say it.
lrunk--very drunk"
"Drunk on rye whisky, too, | sup.
)ose!"
"Oh, no, your Honor, never drink
| got drunk on peach and
loney."
The Judges features relaxed in an
Instant. Leaning forward and raising
lis spectaclcs, he contemplated the
,fftnder with interest and then with
omething like tenderness.
"Ah! sir" said the Judge, bIandly, |
peach aud honey, eh? that's a gentle,
manly drink, sir. The court sympa-
hizes with You, sir, aud does not re-
,ard your offence as very seriOus.--,
Mr.. Clerk" he continued, IN Sottened .
one, "enter a fine of 81 against this
Gentleman, and discharge him on pay
