POETRY.
In Green Pastures.
BY c. B. LIE ROW.

Cloud shadows lie
Upon the soft grass underneath my feel,
Gods great inf1niiy
Wraps me around in blissful rest complete;
Like angels breath
feel the air from Heaven which seems so near
No thought of pain or death,
No want of woe can grieve my spirit here
Gods hand holds mine,
lean on Him in loving faith secure,
And cad fa every line
OF natures book, His mercies shall endure"
look above
In thankfnlness for all the good I've soon,
And trust the Fathers love
Who led my feet within these pastures green.
The day will end
And light fade slowly till the west is gray;
Wien He at last shall send
Cold winds and heavy devs upon my way,
Can / still trust His love
And wait until the morning breaks again?
In darkness look above
AS in the sunshine, when feel no pain?
Lord, help thy child
To be as hopeful in the heavy night
When skies are dark and wild,
AS in the happy day when all is BRIG hit.
Let me h Id fast Thy hand
In deaths dark valley as in pastures green,
So l at last may stand
In that dear country which my faith has seen.

Raising Potatoes from SEED.

Raising potatoes from the seed is, ac-
cording to the Agriculturist, an interest
ing but not very encouraging field for
experiment. We have now many fine
potatoes, and one who raises from the
seed must produce something better
than any we now have to make his la
Dor remunerative. Nevertheless expe-
riments are not to be discouraged. Po.
tato seed is that which is produced in
balls which are found upon the vines.
From the seed contained in these there
is no probability of getting potatoes like
the parent tuber, and each Of the many
seeds a ball contains may produce o
widely different one from the same ball,
and in this manner new varieties are
produced. The ball of the potato Sc
lected for seed should be from the
earliest set upon the vines; this, when
ripened As much as can be upon the
stem, should be cut. with good por-
ton of the vine, and placed in the sun
to mature. In spring the 'seeds are to
be sown, and the plants treated precise
ly like tomato plants. Sow in a hot
bed, or in a box in the house, and, when
large enough, transplant to other boxes,
and when the weather will allow, plant
in good soil out-ofdoors.-Haypcr's

Kicking Cows.

A correspondent of the Maine Far
mer writes as follows how to treat COWS
that kick and switch their tails: |
purchased, few years since, an excel
lent COW, but, as her. former owner in
formed me, "she would kick out a
double shuttle frequently while being
milked," which l soon found to be the
fact. bowed her up in a horse stall,
fixed a piece of hardwood plank across
the stall, SO that it rested about six
inches from the floor, and two inches
forward of her hind feet. She soon
found the sharp edge of the plank
was injured less than her shins, and af-
ter few trials abandoned her bad habit
of kicking. l had another cow who
kept continual switching of her tail
while being MIXED. / placed small
pole across the top of the stall, bored a
hole in board near the end, placed a
wire ring through it, slipped the pole
through the ring, so that the board
hung about two feet from the floor, at
the side of the cows near hind-leg. She
can pound the board with her caudal
appendage all she pleases without in
convenience to her milker. The ring
slides on the pole, and the board can be
showed aside when not needed.

True Heroism.

The following anecdote, extracted
from unpublished memoirs of French
noblelhllh, may, it is hoped, serve as an
example, well worthy of being initiated
by all who desire to be thought only
brave and courageous. 1t records an
instance of a victory gained by q man
over his own passions-victory more
glorious, more honorable than any that
has ever been purchased with fire and
sword, with devastation and blood.
shed. 's
Two noblemen, the Marquis de Va
laise and the Count de ,Heric, were edu.
Gated under the same masters, and
were regarded by all who knew them as
patterns of friendship, honor and sensi-
bility. Years succeeded wears. and no
quarrel had ever disgraced their at
tachment, when one unfortunate even.
ing, the two friends, having INDUCED
rather freely in some excellent burcun-
dy, repaired to neighboring hotel, and
engaged in q game of backgammon.
Fortune declared herself in favor of the
Marquis; he won every game, and in
the thoughtless glee OF the moment.
laughed with exultation at his unusual
good luck. The Count lost his temper,
and once or twice upbraided the Mar.
quis for enjoying the pain which he had
excited in the bosom of his friend. At
last, upon another fortunate throw
made by the Marquis, by which he
gammoned his antagonist, the infuriat-
ed Count threw the box and dice in the
face of his brother soldier.
Every gentleman present was in
amazement, and waited, almost breath
lessly, for the moment when the Mar
quis would sheathe his sword in the DO
som OF the now repentant Count.
"Gentlemen," said the Marquis, 81
am a Frenchman, g soldier, and a
friend. l have received blow from a
Frenchman, soldier, and friend.
| know and acknowledge the laws of
honor, and l will obey them. Every
man who sees me wonders why | am
tardy in visiting with vengeance the
author of my disgrace. But, gentle
men, the heart OF that man is entwined
with my own; our education was the
same, our principles are slike, and our
friendship dates from our earliest
years. But, Frenchmen, will obey the
laws OF honor and France; l will stab
him TO the heart" u
Upon this, he threw his arms around
his unhappy friend, and said: "My
dear De Meric, forgive you, if you will
forgive me for the irritation have oc-
casiOned in sensitive mind, by levity
of my own. And now, gentlemen"
added the Marquis, though l have in.
terpreted the laws Of honor in my own
way, if there remains in this room one
Frenchman who da,es to doubt my
resolution TO resent eyen .an innprvper
smile, my sword isby my side to punish
an aflront, but not to murder my friend,
for whom | would die, and who sits
there monument of contrition and
bravery, ready with me to challenge
the rest of the room to deadly combat
if any man dare to think amiss of this
transaction
