TRUE LOVE.
BY c. P. MORRIS.

BY G. p. MORRIS.
When other friends are round thee,
And other hearts nre thine,
When other days have crowned thee,
More fres h, more green than mine
Then think, oh! think how lonely
This throbbing heart must be,
Which, while it beats-boats only,
Beloved one, for thee. .''
N2t, do not think doubt thee, e..
| know thy truth remains;
I would not live without thee
For all the world contnins;
Thou art the star that guides me,
Across lile's troubled sea;
And whatever fate botidcs me-
This heart will turn to thee!

POtntOeS.

| will give my experience in the
raising of that indispensable and val
liable article, the pOtatoe. ! am well
aware that many able pens have been
employed in writing of the different
varieties, and how they are obtained.
But speculative theory is one thing,
and practical experience is another.
But to make short what some would
spin out into loGg story, will tell
you what | kn0,o and what is of great
benefit to me in the potatoe line
| formerly planted eight or ten diff,
ierent kinds promiscu0usly together,
and the result was, in a few years,
that they degenerated and became
nearly worthless, being small and Of
very poor quality, good for nothing to
bake, havinga stony taste, and quite
juicy. Being quite an lrishman in
regard to potatoes, | thought this state
of things would never do for ne.-
So | threw away the whole of them,
and obtained the pure Neshannock
and the common White Pink.eye.-
Those two kinds | planted together
for several years, with no other III the
/ field, and the result has been that now
| have an excellent superior and en-
tiroly different kind Of potato from
any heretofore raised in this vicinity.
They are neither one nor the other,
but half way "betwixt and between.
Not so long, uneven and craggy as
the Ncshannock, but ale of a large
size, smooth, handsome and good
shape. Tho color is light blue, with
white spots and stripes on the out.
side. In the inside they are white. -
They are not hollow like tine Neshan-
mock; They cook quick, dry aud
mea'y. They are the best potatoes
baked that ever saw, and others say
the same that know of them. They
are early and are good for 3 year, bet
ter in the summer, for old potatoes,
than any other we ever have had
Now. as the potatoe crop is a very
important one, it follows that to OBJ
tain the best varieties would be ju'
diclous course for rs to pursue. AS
this experiment was accidental, or
without any particular calculation as
to tue result, the thing, perhaps, might
be brought to greater perfection with
a little more care.
have, perhaps, written enough mp.
on the subject for this time, and il
these hints should cause some, who
now raise and eat poor, salvey, jnicy
potatoes, to try the experiment with
