How TO RAISE EARLY PoTAToEs.-A cor
respondent Of the Germantown Telegraph
thus gives bis method Of raising early potatoes:
Il thoroughly plough the grourd, as early as
the spripg VIII permit, pat it in a nice condi-
ton, and strike out the rows the same as corn,
three feet apart and shallow. Then drop the
seed about fftcen inches apart and. cover With
a hoe; about one inch deep is sufficient b
keep out frost. and tho heat Of the sun on ihe
surface soon sprouts the potatoes. ] generally
grow Buckeyes for carly potatoes. There may
be earlier varieties, but not 50 good. Last SCI
son used them continually from the 9th Of
June, and that was before there were any po-
tatoes in the market, except few from Nor-
folk. don't want any long manure about
my potatoes; would sooner have none. This
plan Of raising potatoes Is equally good ;oE the
ate ones, on stiff or wet lands"

Sunshine.

The bright and glorious sunshine,
How brilliantly il falls,
Alike upon the humble cot
And the lofty palace walls.
How jovously the little brook
SpArkles beneath its ray;
Dancing and singing merrily,
Like glad child at playl
1t gilds the giant mountsin-top,
High towering 10 the skies;
II smiles on valleys deep aud fair,
Whence lsbor's songs arise.
And when from out the glowing East,
II takes its gorgeous way,
How joyfully the sweet birds songs
Welcome the newborn day!
The lowing Of the distant kline,
The deep hum of the bee,
The whisper OF the waving leaves,
Join the glad harmony.
And when in pain and sorrow re
Gaze upward in despair,
II looks upon US from above,
And call, our spirits there.
Where lie, its great Creator, smiles
On all things He has made;
And bids US trust His love alike
In sunshine and in shade.

Gems of Thought.

An envious man repincs at his neighbors his
as much as if he supported him.
The LIFE OF MES.-Men may live II a
crowd, but they must die alone.
1t is with lttle-souled people as it IS with
natrow-neckcd bottles-the less they have in
them the more noise they make in pouring out
Aaectation in any part Of our carriage is
lighting up candle to our defect, and never
fails TO make US be taken notice OF. either as
wanting sense or as wanting sincerity.
UspfRsrASDING.-Men spend their lives in
irving 20 understand each other, and, at tho
close, arc compelled to acknowledge that they
cannot even understand themselves.
WmSrSG BrHAvIoR.-There is hardly any
bodily blemish which winning behavior Will
no. conceal, or make .olerable; and there is no
external grace which i!l-na:use or aEectstion
will not deioEm.
WIsDoN'THE SERVANT or KSowLEDaE.-
A wise man is one that knows how 70 turn TO
good account the knowledge which he has,.
He is not wise who has mastered all languages,
all sciences, if he lacks the ability to uIe this
knowledge He is only stuffed
DoIys-Just thoughts may fail Of produ-
cling just deeds, but just deeds always beset
just thoughts.
MoRALIrY-Evsry one owes obedience 70
the laws, but still higher obligation is due to
morality and if it so happens that both can
not be complied with, it is better to DO an IL
legal act than an immoral one.
FOES BECOMING FRESDs.-Probsbly those
very two men who hate each other most, and
whose best husbandry is TO SOW brisrs and
this.es In each others path, would, ii they had
ever met and converscd familiarity, hare boon
ardent and inseparable friends.
THE HEARr.-When the heart is pure and
straightforward. there's hardly anything which
can mislead the understanding in matters Of
immediate concernmeht; but the clearest un-
derstsnding can dolttle in purifying an impure
heart, or the strongest in Strengthening crook
cd one.
IyTERcoURsE OF MISD.-If men would per-
nit their minds, like their children, TO associate
freely together--if they could agree 10 meet
one another with smiles and frankness, instead
Of suspicion and defance-the common stock
of wisdom and of happiness would be centupled.

POETICAL.
Will 1t Comfort Us In Dying P

when the "silver cord" is loosed,
When the golden bowl" is broken
When to this life and its joys
The sad parting words are spoken
When upon ousdeath bed lying.
Where will be our hope in dying?
When we grasp the trembling hand
OF the aged, weeping mother,
Nearer in that trial hour,
Dearer than is any other
What will still that mothers weeping
With the torpor DER us creeping
When the last farewell is said,
When the final kiss is taken,
VIII faith in Jesus blood
In that solemn hour be shaken?
Will il comfort Us in leaving
Those who stand around US grieying!
When the valley clods are laid
Over what a coffin covers;
When the spirit in the air,
Loving yet its prison, hOyers;
When the mourners check their :ighing,
Leave the body lonely lying;
When they gather round the hearth,
With a vacant chair there near them,
Will this faith and trust in God,
In that hour, sustain and cheer then?
l. il balm to sore hearts given,
That the loved are safe in Heaven

A DEcE1rFUL CUss.-A Down Easter who
had the cause of the freedmen and humanity
much at heart, and who represented himself as
a minister Of the gospel, lately made his appear
ance at Springfield, Illinois, where he started a
school for the blacks, His school was well at
tended, and he got the entire confidence of his
pupils by his oily CANNON. He set himself to
work to rob his pupils and their parents by
borrowing all the money he could of them,
giving his promi,sory notes in return. When
he had borrowed al he could he suddenly de-
carnped for parts unknown.-Ddgon, Ohio,

Too MUCH FoR HIN.--A young man, who
earnestly desired wealth, was visited by bis
Satanic majesty, who tempted him TO dispose
of his soul for eternity if he could be supplied
on earth with all the money he could use
The bargain was concluded the devil was 10
supply the money, aud was at last to have the
soul, unless the young man could spend more
money than the devil could furnish. Years
passed away, me man married.. s'as eSiIava-
grant in his living, built palaces speculated
widely, and gave away fortunes, and yet bis
Golfers were always full He became fill
buster, and fitted ships and armies, but bis
banker honored all his drafts. He came 70
New York to live, and paid the usual rate Of
interest for all tho money he could borrow;
but though the devil made faces when he came
to pay the bills, yet they were all paid. One
expeiient after another failed. The devil
counted the time, only two years, that he must
wait for the soul and he mocked the efforts Of
the despalring man. One more trial was resol-
we'd upon--the man started newspaper -
The devil growled at the bill at the erd Of tho
first quarter, was savage in siR-months, melan-
choly in nine and broke, dead broke, at tho
end OF the year. SO the newspaper went
down, but the soul was saved.
