Useful Hints.

EARLY PoTAToEs. Get these in as soon as
the frost is out of the ground The earliest
planted potatoes generally yield the largest
crops. The reason Of this is that they need in
the frs. stages of their growth GOODNESS and
moisture. Later paintings are also necessary
MS the earlier potatoes, if kept too long in the
soil often take on second growth. But in spite
of this. disadvantage il is well TO plant early,
and as precaution, to plough deep and plant
deep-six inches deeper than is necessary
The two requisites of GOODNESS and moisture
are thus at least partially secured, and if a
drought should come, the potato plants are
better able to Withstand 1t. But above all the
soil must be made light and loose. Too light
and too loose it can scarcely be-and il
must contain those constituents in which the
potato Enthusiastically an ample supply
of potash. If this is not in the soil it must
be furnished by wood ssashes, or by the potash
ofcommerce.
CoLnAR CALLS OR BRUisEs.-Tn the first place.
the collar should Dekept thoroughly oiled where
it comes in contact with the neck. The swell
ing should be thoroughly washed with warm
water and then bathed with lotion compos-
ed of one drachm of tincture of arnca in a
half pint of warm water, used every day IL
the shoulder is badly bruised, it will be well
10 rest the animal from work ia harness, and
apply wash every day till cured, composed
of sal. ammonia, one ounce; vinegar, four
ounces. Spirits of wine, two ounces; tincture
of arnica, two drachms water, one-half pint,
mixed well. Perhaps you might dispense
with the collar and use breast strap'instead, if
the horse must work.
To CLEAN TIN CovERs.-Mix little Of the
finest powdered whiting with the least drop of
sweet OH, rub the covers well with it, and
wipe them clean; then dust over them some
dry whiting in n muslin bag and rub bright
with dry leather This last is to prevent rust,
which the cook must guard against by wiping
tbemdry and putting them by the fire when
they come from the dining room, for if once
hung up damp the inside will rust.
EARLY PEAs.-As soon rs the frost is out OF
the ground choose warm part of the garden,
and drill in few more early peas. Make the
drills three feet apart and three inches deep.
Sow the peas thiclly along the drills, cover
well, and press down the earth about them.
When the peas are few inches high, hoe them
and support the young vines with sticks.

The Parting Hour.
BY EDWARD POLLOCK.

There's something in the "parting hour"
viii chill the warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part;
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed 1t on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind
No matter what the journey be,
Adventurous, dangerous, far,
To the wild deep or black frontier,
To solitude or war
Still something cheers the heart that dares,
In all of human kind,
And they who so are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes TO the bridegrooms home
With doubtngs and with tears,
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears2
Alas the mother who remains,
What comfort can she find,
But this-the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind?
Have you friend--a comrade dear,
An old and valued friend?
BE sure your term of sweet concourse
At length will have an end
And when you part-as part you will
0 take it not unkind,
II he who goes is happier
Than you he leaves behindl
God wills it so--and SO it is;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn more cheerful arc
Than all the rest who stay;
And when, at last, poor man, subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May not he still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind?

QUICK rRANsIr-NEw-YoRK AND wEsrCHEsTER.

ov-ICK TRANsIT-NEw-YORK AND wEsrCHEsTER.
TO me Edttor Of The Tribune.
SIR: The voice of the people in this city is
nearly unanimous favor of the two bills now before
the LEGISLATURE that propose to effect quick transit
through the capital and organism Of the Harlem Rail
road Company and Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Only one
onesop has arisen on the subject and that not in
poton 70 the plan proposed but he depth OF the track
They say the track must be sunk much deeper from
Fortysecondt north 70 the Harlem River than stated
in the bill Many property-holders east OF the Fourth
ave- insist that shall only be sunk l6 feet
below the surface hut that IL shall be made tunnel. bv
which the road will be completely nclosed so as to make
a,subterraneous entrance into the city,
There are several objections 10 this plan that has
caused all who contemplate riding on this road to object
10 it, First: The expense OF building the road viii be
more than doubled. Second: 1t will be unhealthy and
unpleasant Third: The Harlem Railroad Company will
not encounter the expense of subterranean
undertake the work unless they compelled to do
by legislation, and, therefore shall have no quick
transit by this route for many years, II at all.
IT, therefore, the Will Of portion OF our people re-
siding on the East side and who do not expect 10 use
the ssha prevail the whole OF the inhabitants OF
Harlem and Weschester and all who wish TO reside in
these places, that engaged and propose 10 be ell
gagged in the traffic of New York; must continue 10
suffer from the OF quick transit. This is unrea-
sonable proposition, and hope the Legislature will
feel that the whole business country interested this
question. This route Is now the channel through which
large proportion of the travelling public enter city,
and their comfort and health should be considered
well the imaginary depression OF the extrayagan
prices put upon property by the owners OF houses and
lots ON the side OF the road The people in New
York Wfstchester and all who come and wish 70 come
and 70 through this channel desire health and light,
and quick transit and that soon as the track can be
sunk as contemplated by the bill before the legislature
For many years have been hoping FOR this quick
transit while our people. with their personal tax have
going to NowJersey and other places TO the great
injury OF commerce and trade and loss 10 our city
