One bright moonlight evening, on the
upper piazza. as Ray Laurence sat alone
with Nettie, he pucked up heart of grace,
and told her then and there how much he
loved her, and asked her to be his own
little wife. And Nettie threw away all
the pretty coquettish ways that had tried
his patience sorely, and answered, "Yes,
Ray" as soberly as ever wee maiden could !;
but amazed him by bursting into storm of
tears a moment after. When he kissed them
Oft, and asked the reason, Nettie's answer
was characteristic one. "Nonsense ~ she
said, with an energetic stamp of her pretty
foot, "how l hated Ned Grayson that day
when he behaved so like brute to you"
Ray laughed who could have helped it
but made answer that he considered himself
rather under obligations to Ned
So in the bright October days, Nettie
was bride; for the doctors said that Ray
could never go back into the army again,
although he had regained the use of his
limb. And put away carefully in Mrs.
Laurence's cedar closet, is an old faded
uniform-what Nettic calls "a souvenir of
the days when Ray was ONLY PRIVATE"

New PoTATo.-IIon. Levi Bartlett War

that almost the only kind of potato grown
there at the present time is variety known
as the "Orono," said to have been obtained
from Orono, Ne. 1t is large, white, rather
kidney shaped tuber-he thinks, in quality,
equal to the famed Carter, and superior to
the Chenango as table potato, yielding on
his farm at least three-fold over the Carter,
Chenango or Prince Albert G. Clark, a
neighbor of his, raised $50 bushels on three
quarters of an acre, on inverted sod land

AN INSTANCE OF PERsEvERANcE.-One
morning during the late war, an officer,
riding through the woods of North Alabama
was attracted by tall lank countryman,
who seemed 20 be using his best endeavors
to reach the top of large hickory tree.
Scarcely had he gained the summit, when.
rapidly descending, he started up another
one few yards off. This strange proceed
ing was continued at least dozen times.
the countryman climbing and descending
one tree after another for nearly quarter of
mile. The officer at length overtaking
him inquired the cause of his eccentric gy-
rations. Il was !yin' asleep under yon
hickory, when darned squirrel dropped a

Cant BE DID."-Every newspaper reader
now a-days takes upon himself the character
of critic. He imagines what he would do
"if he lad hold of that paper once" He
picks up the paper and skimming 1t over
cries, "Pshaw there's nothing in itm If
every article isn't written as smoothly as Il
prize essay, its "crude )" if the leader don't
happen to coincide entirely with his views,
the editor is 'numscul, unit to occupy the
position of an editor" If the locals don't
abound in exclamation points, dashes and
slang phrases, and lack spice, originality and
fun, the editor is stick, perfect dnllard-
just as if man can be spicy aud witty upon
subjects he has treated the dozenth time
within six months. If you think you can do
better, just buckle in for week or two and
do your best. If you don't throw down
your pencil in disgust You'll do for an editor.
Try and be spicy, witty, amusing, entertain
ing, original, logical, deep; try and suit
everybody on all subjects, from the weekly
articles on the weather to the nebulons ring
about the planet return, and you'll have some
faint idea of ofjournalism, Let us inform you,
uncharitable man, that an editor escapes
luckily if he don't have to eowhide some
body once month, or have that pleasing
rule enacted upon his own person as often.
Sick or we'll, hot or cold, news or no news,
local items or none, he must make you a
readable paper, or You get up in your digni-
both. This is unreasonable, unmanly, and
only exhibits vulgarity which Ignorance
ever prompts.-E s aHl7a'a d..

CUlTIvATING THE BLACKBERRY.--We find
that strong effort continues to be made in
recommending the cultivation of the black
berry for market purposes. There has been
a great deal of money made by the sale of
canes of plants in the last few years, but it
has done but little in supplying our markets
judging from what we have seen exhibited
for sale, thus showing that there is still am
pie demand. We have no doubt that they
are profitable as market product. and
ought to be cultivated by frut-raisers with
reference especially to this object, but we
would no. recommend them to be grown on
a very large scale and exclusively on the
ground that there is too much risk run in
depending on one crop only requiring SO
large an amount of labor to be concentrated
on couple of weeks.

AGRICULTURAL, &C.

LIME.-The use of lime as an application
to the soil, it is believed by some, acts in
two ways-one as Stimalant that promotes
vegetation by causing the soil with which it
is mixed to exert itself; and the other, in
promoting the growth of trees and plants
by enriching the land as manure, and add
ing to the quantity of vegetable food. By
Others it is looked upon in chemical and
medical poin. of view, acting as an alterna-
tive, corrector, discover, or decom-
poser; disingager of certain parts of the
animal, vegetable and mineral substances
contained in the soil, and as retainer and
a combiner with Others, out not as sub
stance, like dung, or decayed organic mat
ter, fit for the immediate nourishment of
plants.-[ Prof. Holmes. H..H-

You chase all silly fashions;
You load with jewels, faunt in lace, i.. .'i'

FEED FOR Cows-Well-sayed clover hay
is thought to be the best forage for milch
cows, and badly saved, dried up, dusty clo-
yer hay the worst. A Main dairyman says
that his cows never gave so much milk from
any kind of feed as with a mixture of oats
and potatoes. Potatoes alone increase the
quantity of milk at the expense OF the quail
ty, but the addition of oats improves tho
quality.
