New Way TO Raise Potatoes.

A sample of very fine kidney po-
tatoes (Mona's Pride,) four and
five inches long, has been shown in
this office, grown in the demense OF
Andrew McCullagh, Esq, OF ST.
Brendon's Coolock, on 4 peculiar
system. His gardener Mr.. Byrne,
has found out a mode-which he
preserves as strict secret-of grow
ing potatoes in the open air, with
out permitting the sets to produce
tops; the new crop coming direct
from the eyes ofthe old potatoes,
and to which they are attached, and
it seems that this crop has taken
but six weeks to come to perfection,
and that from the same piece OF
land ne has two crops in twelve
weeks, commencing about the fifth
of March last. The advantages OF
this system are, that there is no
forcing, no manure, and that the
surface can be occupied by other
small garden crops that require both
light and air to bring them to per
fection. We have seen many years
ago new potatoes repeatedly pro
duced during the winter season by
packing the whole potatoes in lay
ers in a mixture of earth and coal
ashes on hurdles in dry out house,
but how Mr.. Byrne at this season.

Farm and Household.
Sowing Peas.

The time for sowing peas is now
at hand. Select light soil, and for
the earliest crop only about three
inches deep, but for the main crop.
or vines to continue long in bearing,
cover six or seven inches, or as deep
as you can plow with one horse. If
your soil is clayey, then cover for
the main crop only about two inches.
The earliest and best sort is Carter's
First Crop.-The next to it is
Waite's Caractacus. Then for wrink-
led sorts to follow the above use
McLean's Advancer, or Laxton's
Supreme-all of which are good.
For later crop we prefer Yorkshire
Hero to Champion of England, be-
cause it does not allow as great Ii
ability to mildew, and is equally
productive and sweet.

White Beans.

A correspondent at Fond du Lac,
Wisconsin, writes to the Interior
as follows:
The cultivation of white beans
upon our sandy soils is attracting
much attention in this vicinity.
What are the best varieties to plant
for market, and what is the best
system for cultivation, width ofrows
and manner of harvesting? Can
they be threshed with common
threshing machine:
The Interior answers by saying
that the best variety for shipping is
what is known as the Navy beam
a very small, white sort, but little
inclined to run, and if planted close
ripening evenly. For family use
the Marrowfat is better, but they
run somewhat more than the former.
They should be planted not more
than two feet apart. between the
rows, upon slight ridges thrown to-
gether, at the rate Of three pecks
per acre. We have raised them very
successfully at distance OF twenty
inches, making the ridges with Il
gang machine of four rows, and cul-
tivating with the same machine
The sowing is done with machine
sowing four rows at time, whereby
the rows are made perfectly straight
and equi-distant. By this system
but little hand labor is needed in
the cultivation. They are harvest
ed by being pulled in handfuls and
set on their tops to dry, when they
may be threshed directly from the
field by fails or tramping with
horses. They may be stacked
around poles, the stacks not being
more than four feet in diameter,
roots inward, and thoroughly thatch-
ed with slough hay. But it is bet
ter to thresh directly from the field,
if possible, and spread upon an airy
loft to dry. If they become wet
after pulling, they must be turned
often to prevent their becoming
and when threshed must
not be left in bulk until thorough
ly seasoned. They cannot be sue
cessfully threshed with machine.

Loud Noises.

Loud noises are said to kill certain
delicate insects, s,and we have good proof
that if loud enough, and long enough
continued, they are capable Of killing,
or seriously injuring, human beings,u
der certain conditions of the body.

Of the Dresden hospitals whose nervous

The Coming Man.

While our fine girls are bemoaning
the lack of young men and the scarcity
of beaux who are manageable and who
mean marriage, there is a class of young
men whom they do not recognize at all,
yet who will furnish to the next gener-
alton its men of enterprise, of power, of
position, and of wealth. 1t is not the
sons of the rich who will, as rule, re-
main rich. The sons of the poor will
get rich; and there are to-day drIlding
in offices, counting rooms and manufac-
turing establishments of all kinds, the
men who will, in twenty-five years,
control the nation socially, politically
and financially. Every man of them
means to he married; they will, as a
rule, make excellent husbands; they
are all at work trying to win success.
They are men who would be easily i'm
proved by Reorganization, and by bring
ing them into good, intelligent society;
yet they are as little noticed as if they
were so many dogs. Excellent young
men from the country go into the city
and live for years without any society,
and are regarded by the fashionable
young women with indifference or con-
tempt; but these young men have a
hold upon the future, and when their
success is known, in whatever field of
enterprise it be, the fashionable world
will be glad to receive them as belong
ing to their number. We regret to say
that, as rule, the young men for whom
a position has been won by virtuous and
enterprising fathers, amount to but
little in the world, and reioiced to say
that companions chosen from those who
have their fortunes to make and their
positions to win, are those to whom a
well-bred woman can entrust her hap
piness and herself.-Hol@and.

Different Ways of Making
Tea.

The Chinaman puts his tea in 4 cup
pours hot water upon it, and drinks the
infusion Of the leaves; he never dreams
of spelling its flavor with sugar OF
cream. The Japanese triturates the
leaves before putting them into the pot.
In Morocco they put green tea, a little
tansy, and great deal of sugar into a
teapot, and fill up with boiling water.
In Bokhara every man carries q small
bag of tea about him, a certain quantity
of which he hands over to the booth
keeper he patronizes, who concocts the
beverage for him. The Bokhariot finds
it as difficult to pass tea-booth as our
own dram-drinker does to go by gin
palace. His breakfast beverage is
Schitschaj-that is, tea favored with
milk, cream, or mutton fat in which
bread is soaked. During the daytime,
sugarless green tea is drank with the ac
mutton suet. 1t is considered an mex
cusable breach of manners to cool the
hot cup of tea with the breath: but
that difficulty is overcome by sup
porting the right elbow on the left hand
and giving a circular movement to the
cup. How long each kind of tea takes
to draw is calculated to the second; and
when the can is emptied it is passed
round among the company, for each tea
drinker to take up as many leaves as
can be held between the thumb and
finger-the leaves being esteemed an
especial dainty. ....
When Mr.. Bell was travelling in
Asiatic Russia he had to claim the hos
pltality of the Buratsky Arabs. The
mistress of the nt,plaeing large ket-
tie on the fire, filled it with water,
and threw in some coarse tea and
a little salt. When this was near the
boiling point, she tossed the tea about
with brass ladle until the liquor be-
came very brown, and then it was
poured off into another vessel. Cleans
ing the kettle the woman set it again
on the fire,in order to fry paste of
meal and fresh butter. Upon this the
tea and some thick cream were then
poured, the ladle put into requisition,
and after time the whole taken off the |
fire and set aside to cool. Half-pint |
wooden mugs were handed round, and
the tea ladled into them-a tea forming |
meat and drink, and satisfying both
hunger and thirst. However made, tea
is blessed invention for the weary |

century, which has lasted through de-
cades of peace and years of war, which
has been repeadly amended, as new ex-
periences and new tastes have suggested
new safeguards for liberty, and which
is finally, after all the attrition of party
strife and all the strain of fearful civil
war, triumphantly established as the SUI

The people very naturally say to us,
This Constitution has been in existence
for more than eighty years. 1t was
formed for the very purpose of protect
ing life, liberty, and property, by the
wisest, and most patriotic, and the most
liberty-loving body of men that ever
sat in council in this world. The wis
dom OF the nation has again and again,
since that time, found expression in it.
With all its safeguards, and with added
safeguards, it has, it has just emerged

Beef Steak Pie.

Broil your steak and season as
for the table. Then place it, togeth-
er with the gravy in Il kettle, and
add water sufficient to keep it from
burning. Let it simmer slowly un-
til perfectly tender. Then line Il
deep dish with pastry as for chick

adding butter and seasoning it nee
essary. then thin layer ofpaste and
the rest of the steak on top of this.
Put in rs much of the gravy rs it
will admit and cover the whole close
ly with paste, giving it vent in the

OVER THE RIVER.

Over the river they beckon 10 ne,
Loved ones who've crossed to the furlhe
side,
! The gieam Of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are lost in the dashing Tide
There's one with ringlets Of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens owr
blue
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold. .
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates Of the city We could not see.
Over the river, over the river,
Nv brother stands waiting to welcome me-
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried smother, the household pet.
Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale.
Darling Minnie! see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And she fearlesSly entered the phantom
bark.
We felt it glide from the silver ssnds.
Aud all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know She is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be.
Over the river, the mystic river,
Ny ehildhOod's idol i, waiting for me.
For none return from thosequiet shores,
Who cross with the boat n an cold and pale,
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch gleam of the snowy sail;
And 10! they have passed from our yesrning
hearts.
They cross the stream and are gone for aye.
We may not sunder the vail apart
That hides from our vision the gates of day.
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with US DER life's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere know on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river, and hill, and shore.
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatmsn's oar;
shall watch for the CLEAN of the tapping
sail, ..-.
shall hear the boat as it gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale.
70 the the better shore Of the spirit land.
shall know The loved who have gone before.
And ioyfully sweet will the meeting be.
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel Of death shall carry me.
