REPLAcE THE STONE. One day,
Gen. Washington and some of his
officers. while staying at Boston, went
to visit Chelsea On their way they
stopped to rest and refresh themselves
at the mansion of Mr.. Dexter, beau
tiful spot, surrounded by stately elms
and green fields. They alighted, and
after securing their horses under the
trees, went to partake of the good
cheer within.
As they came out, one Of the gen
tlemen accidentally knocked a stone
from the wall which ran before the
house. Washington told him he had
better replace the stone.
No" said the officer d" 1 will leave
that for somebody else
Washington then went quietly and
put the stone up again, saying, as he
did so, - always make 1T my rule IN
visiting place, to leave things IN as
good order az found them.
Let every boy and youth remember
this declaration Of the great and good
Washington, and make it rule of
action through life.

Marriage.

Love Is the master passion of life.
but its sweets must be gathered with
gentle hand. The kindly laws of
nature set woman to man,
Like perfect music unto noble deeds.n
but the harmony, to no preserved
must touch the heart and purify the
senses. Therefore. the sacred insti-
tuition of marriage has been ordained
to strengthen and dignity the union.
The uses and duties of this holy state
have ever been a subject Of interest
to mankind at large and in almost
every age, marriage has been regarded
as one of the great agents in the i'm
provemcnt and cultivation of the hu-
man family. Morally and physically.
its influence for the benefit of man
kind has been enormous for, inde-
pendently of its leading purpose. the
perpetua tion of our species. it has
those high claims to our regard which
are born out of the noblest and loftiest
emotions of the soul. 1t is the foun-
dation of all love and friendship, and
creates n sentiment in the mind out
of which spring the elements that
foster and promote civilization.
To quote the words of one of the
most eloquent of our prose writers,
Jeremy Taylor. " Marriage, like the
useful bee, builds house, and gath
ers sweetness from everv flower. and
obeys kings, and keeps order, and ex-
ercises many virtues, and promotes
the interest of mankind, and is that
state of good things to which God
has designed the constitution of the
world" The learned bishop might
have gone further. and stated that
is the author and encourager
of almost every virtue we possess
and that. as it was the first engage
ment into which man entered, so it
has ever since remained the great
leading event of his life, and one init
mately associated with his temporal
and eternal welfare.

Potato Raising.

In circular issued by A. L.
Hovey, scotsman, OF Chicago, agent
for the Goodrich Seeding Pota-
toes, the following directions, said
to be passed on actual practice, are
given as to the best method Of rails
ing large crops of potatoes
In the Fall plow deeply and
subsoil plow, i'll all Is to 20 inches
in depth.
In early Spring, plow and sub
soil across the Winter burrows. and
roll.
Mark ont, as for corn, three feet
apart each way, opening the furrow
eight inches deep.
At the intersection drop a whole
potato, the largest you have, and
spread upon it a handful about 40
bushels per acre of a compost made
eight parts of wood-ashes, four Of
bone phosphate Of lime, four of fine
ground plaster, two of finely slal1ed
lime, and one of salt; or, if pre-
ferred. three ounce of artificial fer
tilizer per hill Then cover, roll,
and spread 1000 pounds per acre
of good artificial fertilizer.
AS soon as the Young plants APP
pear, run the cultivator close to and
between, but not over them, in each
direction. Afterwards, and before
the weeds come up, cultivate, both
ways, with Knox's horse hoe so
arranged as to cut as shallow as
possible, aud keep the surface en-
tirely flat Repeat this, at short
three times. Then hand
hoe three times, still keeping a flat
surface. Allow no hilling at any
time, nor any weeds TO grow.
As soon as the tops are dead, dig
in clear, dry weather with heavy
fve-tincd digging forks; spread, un-
der cover, to dry, and store in cool,
dark, dry, airy cellar, spreading
half pint of freshly-slaket lime in
powder on each bushel of potatoes,
Gather and compost the dry tops.
for application next Autumn; then
plow and supsoil as before, for next
years crop.
The following are the advantages
Of this system Of cultivation
No possible entire failure of the
crop; no rot in healthy varieties;
the largest yield the soil and variety
are capable of; the largest proper
ton of large potatoes no degen-
eracy of varieties, but continued i'm
no necessity for rotation
Of crops: the potato can be thus
grown almost indefinitely on the
same land, with, perhaps, at long
seeding to clover to
the supply of vegetable
fibre in the soil; no loss by late
Spring frosts; if the early growth
is cut off, the dormant eyes will
grow and the crop be saved the
greatest economy Of culture and
harvesting the highest table quality
of potato.
II the materials for the compost
cannot be obtained, top-dress heavi-
ly in the Fall, after plowing, with
barn-manure, but never use it in
the season of planting. 1t may
increase the crop, but tends to en-
gender disease, especially in wet
seasons.

To PRESERVE Spring RurBARB.-

10 PRESERVE Spring RHUBARB.-
Prepare the rhubarb as follows =
Take one pound of the stalks, after
they are pared, and cut them into
short lengths, and put them into a
quarter Of pint Of water, pre-
viously, boiled with 6 OF. Of loaf
sugar, and simmer the fruit in it
for about ten minutes. 1t will then
form a sort of compete, which is pre-
ferable to the undressed rhubarb
for spring tarts.
For rhubarb jam, to each pound
of the young stalks, pared and cut
as above, add an equal weight Of
good sugar in fine powder; mix
them well together, and let them
remain about a quarter of an hour,
then turn them into a preserving
jar; heat them gently till tender,
then boil them rapidly, stirring
them well for about half an hour.
This Jam will be Of excellent flavor,
and will serve well for open or laid
tartS.
Another way is t. boil gently TO
gether, for three hours, an equal
quantity of fine sugar and rhubarb
stalks, with the juice and grated
rind of a lemon TO each pound OF
fruit A very good jam may be
made with six ounces less of sugar
to the pound, by boiling the rhu-
barb gentle for AT. hour before it is
added.
Rhubarb jelly is novel supper
dish. 1t NAV be made as fine as
apple jelly, but requires longer boil
ing before the sugar is added, and
a little isinglass may be requisite.
