THE BEST ScnoLAR.-In every school
there is one who is called the best sehcl'
ar. Teachers and pupils have no difhcul'
ty in deciding who is entitled to this
honorable s.inction, and when 10 once
heard the pupils of . school excla'm. % .
bright-eycd boy entered the room, "Hers
comes Frank; he is the best boy 10
school," we thought, "What good 10.
PRODUCTION to a new teacher After
becoming acquainted with the scholars,
We found that they had told the truth.
Frank was the best boy in school, and
will no doubt become one of the best men
in the city. Think Of it, boys. "Ths
best boy in school" Who would not bs
proud Of such ,itle' It is worth more
than millions Of dollars. But perhaps
some scholars will say, ave cant all to
the best" This is true, but you have .
right to try, aud the one who will try
hardest will succeed, for there is power
in that little word try. Frank could not
be the best boy in his school il he did
not try. If you cannot be the best, be
careful and not be the worst. Every
school has ono boy who is worse than
any other scholar. We pity him We
pity his parents, his brothers and sisters.
What disgraceful title, "The worst boy
iu school," He will no doubt becoms
one of the worst men the community -.
Let every boy who reads this, resolve to
be "the best boy in school. "-Er.

Vicksburs with >hemaM's Army, as
Described by Mr.. n. NJ. Mann. Asst
Of the Western Sanitary Com.

The return of Sherman's expedition
had been anticipated by US all as sure to
bring along crowd Of blacks, but no
one, | think, had formed any idea of the
utter destitution, the squald misery in
which they would come. All the way
from Meridian this black river flowed 10
the wake of the army, Increased By con-
slant accessions, until sullen and slow it
wound it's way into Nieksburg with $500
souls. Following through country
twice rava.ed BY a devourng host, they
had literally nothing left them for sub
sstence but the remnants left them by
our troops. Foragiuc parties secured the
country on either hand to obtain supplies
for the soldiers, but no one brought these
people food, and houses ard barns pil|ag.
ed and burnt left nothing for them save
what the hungry soldier could spare.
Colonel -, acting Briradier on tLis
expedition, states that while the heaps Of
railroad ties were burning in the streets
Of Meridian, an old man was noticed
warming himself by the FIRE, and now and
then laughing hilariously to himself. A
major stepped up to him and said: "un-
Gle. what are you lau Ching a,!'
"Oh! massa, fsa been slave all my
life-these sixty seven years. l work
for massa and be his nj gger. To night
Use free man; yah! yah! yah. Two or
three days Yankees go way, and | be q
slave again; but two or three days Use
been free man, anyhow; yah, yah. yah!'
One more occurrence shows that even
slavery has not destroyed all family ties
10 the heart of this people.
To bring iu a family from the distance
Of ore hundred and fifty miles the FIRST
requisite of course is team. One noble
fellow of the pure African type had sue.
cecded in getting together his wagon and
mules, and came within our lines with
his two children. Then finding his wife
was left behind, be wished to return and
attempt to bring her in. But, as to re,
turn thus would involve the certain loss
of the team, he was forbidden to do it,
and told that if he preferred to 20 back
with his children he could do so. The
man hesita.ed for while between the
loss of this golden opportunity for free.
dom, the certainty of severe punishment
for his attempt to fly, aud the loss of q
wife left in bondage, and then, with q
faithfulness to duty worthy of Regulus,
returned to his chains My informant
says: ~ shall never forget the expires
sion of that mans face as the love of lib
erty was graphing in his soul in the ag
ouy of despair, with love that had yet .
stronger hold upon bis heart" But h'
surrendered the liberty be had enjoyed

At the Same time, the series Of trisls
here reported show conclusively thss
farmers may use small seed for r.ising
the main crop Of consumption, SO far -
the size of the potatoes are concerned,
although losing something in amount,
and that, on any supposition, . small
portion Of tho feld should be planted
with large potatoes for seed. Al pota-
toes are now high priced, it may be well
for farmers to save their small ones for
planting and trial; and ~ hour Or two
devoted each year to SET Of experiments,
may give them results Of considerable
practical value. They should, however,
bear in mind that small seed are often
planted on the poorest portion Of the
field, while the larger selected tubcrs arc
gsyeu tho best chance Of the best cult
vation.
ltvould seem that the chief advantage
in largo seed is in giving an earlier start
nad a stronger growth, resulting in .
larger crop, but the experiment must Be
repeated and varied many times before
confident results can be reached.--Couu'
try Gentleman.

The Quakers and the War.

resistance is Que of the principal
characteristics Of tho religious system
maintained by the Quakers. But, in
such times as these, theory is one thing,
and the instinct Of patriotism another,
and the latter has frequcstly shown itself
stronger than the former, even among
the staid followers of VIM. Penn. .
The fact was strikingly illustrated at
the regular meeting Of the Friends, lately
held in Philadelphia. A worthy mem
Of the society arose, and called attention
to the fact that large number Of young
Friends had fallen away from the faith
Of their fs,hsrs, slA slIisteAr IN ih9 A6Ftn
tho blessings of their mothers, and tho
tears Of their sisters aud other near rela.
tivcs. He then made motion, which
was carried, that committee be appoint
cd to inquire into the matter. The pres.
ident undertook to announce the hamcs
of the persons whom he had selected to
constitute the committee. The nam Of
the first person was mentioned, who,
after painful silence, arose and said:
"Fricuds, / beg leave to be excused
from serving on this committee 4; I could
not do so with good conscience, as /
have myself son in the army"
His reason was deemed adequate, and
he was excused The President then
announced another name. The person
called also arose and said:
"Friends, l beg you to excuse me also,
for | have sent two sons into the army;
one Of them fell before Richmond, and
the other now confronts tho enemy at
! Charleston.
/ The name Of a third was called Il
proved to be that of venerable old man,
whose head was covered with hair white
as srow, and who seemed to be the pa.
triarch of the society. A breathless ST.
lence ensued, after which he arose and
addressed the meeting as follows:
Friends, it does not become us to at.
tempt to fathom the unsearchstle DEGREES
Of the Almighty. My own son and his
two sons, together with three Of my
nephews, are fighting for our beloved
fsthsrland, against the enemies Of liberty
and for the rights Of man"
The mover of the resolution was con.
vnced by this time that it was expedient
to withdraw it, which he did. to the evi.
dent satisfaction Of the meeting. 1t il
estimated that therc are between two
and three thousand Quakers in the army.

Planting Large and Small Potatoes.

The results Of some recent experiments
with planting large and small potatoes,
performed by the writer, may prove in
teresting to readers. The small potatoes
used were, in no instance, more than au
inch and half long, aud would average
about the size of small plums. The large
ones were from four to ten irehos long,
and would weigh from half pound to a
pound or more. Both the large aud
small potatoes were cut SO hs to leave
about the same nnmber Of eyes on each
piece. Care was taken to plant shem
when the ground was in moist condi.
ton, in order to prevent the drying up
Of the small pieces. The large and small
seed we're planted in alternate rows, and
after digging, the contents Of each row
we're placed in the piles at tho ends
these piles thus representing alternately
the large and small seed, were then close
ly examined by several persons, and not
the slightest difference could be perceiv-
ed in the size of the potatoes; and on
being measured, however, the large pota.
toes were found, in every instance, to
yield one fyh more than the smaller
The variety was the Prince Albert. The
result was the more striking, as one OF
the rows planted with extra large seed
{sipgle potatoes Of which weighed as
much as eight of the small ones) yielded
no larger tubers than the small seed. -
The crop, from al the rows alike, was a
good one, and many Of the potatoes, even
from the smallest seed. were from eigh,
to ten inches long. We have tried thi.
experiment but q single year; it Is Z
common opinion that if repeated for sew
eral successive years-that is, if small
potatoes are selected successively, thu
crop will ultimately run out. We have
20 personal knowledge Of such . result
and it is vc,thy Of careful experiment.

own plants, while those who do not wish
to wait, can buy Of the florist at mod
