GOING TO LAW.

An Upper and a Lower Mill
Fell out about the water;
To war they went, that is, to law,
Resolved to give no quarter.
A lawyer was by each engaged,
And hotly they contended;
When fees grew slack the war they waged >,
They judged were better ended.
The heavy costs remaing still
We're settled without pother--
One lawyer took the Upper Mill,
The Lower Mill the other.

House Of Sir Walter Raleigh, at Youghal,
Ireland

The house and garden of this celebrated
individual, at Youghal, pronounced You-all
will especially interest the stranger. The
house has not undergone much alteration
the interior is in its original state; wanscot-
ted through with fine old Irish oak, in excel
lent preservation. The panels in some Of
the rooms are richly carved, especially in the
drawing room, the chimney piece of which
presents an exquisite specimen of the elsbo-
rate work of The day, being enriched with
various grotesque figures and emblems. The
roof being also of Irish oak, has remained
untouched, having, apparently, suffered
nothing from the hand of time This in
teresting place derives its present name of
Myrtle Grove from the many beautiful myrtle
trees which still flourish uxuriantlv here,
some of them having attained height of
nearly twenty feet. The strawberry arbutus,
also, and many other delicate shrubs, afford
abundant evidence of the extreme milduess
of the climate. These remind one strongly
of the refined taste and feeling exhibited by
Raleigh in the cultivation and adornment
of this, for some time, his favorte retreat
from the turmoil and storms Of court life.
In these gardens, we are told, he first propa.
gated the potatoe, which he brought from
America. Tradition says that the person to
whom he entrusted the care of those first
planted, "imagning that the apple which
grew on the stalk was the part to be used, ,
gathered it; but not liking the taste, neglect.
ed the roots, till the ground being dug
afterwards to SOW some other grain, the
potatoes were discovered therein, and to the
great surprise of the planter, vastly increased;
and from those few this country was furnish
