In this town there lives Il young man
never mind who is, what his name. or where
he doth morplca cate--who is the ugglest-l look
ing of living mortals, but who, nevertheless,
is not aware of it, rather, on the contrary, Is
inclined to think himself captivating and be-
witching. The lad is very sensitive on this
point, aud "thereby hangs tale" Some
time ago our young friend was at a house,
and was invited to remain to supper During
the course OF the meal the conyersati IN turn
ed upon the effect separation Of friends had
upon different individuals Now. at his right,
sat a round. rosy checked. beautiful girl, the
"fairest of the fair" 1t was generally ac-
knowledged. by all at the table, that the most
prevalent custom, among those who were
separating, AS an expression of mingled af-
fcction aud sorrow, was to kiss. From this.
the custom Of man kissing man was brought
up. The face of our friend looked more ugly
than ever, as a scowl of contempt traced it
self on his features. lie looked in the face
of the fair lassie at his right, and he saw the
visible signs of disgust for such an action.
lie exploded as follows: Kiss man! why.
| would as soon kiss a hog ! couldn't kiss
my own brother! Yes. and there are some
of my sisters that | couldn't kiss. either"
"Why," said u girl nearly opposite our
friend, her eyes glistening with mischief "be-
cause they were so uglyy" Our good-look-
ing { p friend collapsed beneath the roars of
laughter that fell upon his ears. And the
pretty girl on his right was the most demon-
strative of them all. The "ugly youth has
determined to 90 to Colorado, with Callahan
next month.

A WORD TO MoTurRs. Each mother
! is q historian She writes not the histo
ry Of empires or of nations on paper, but
she Whites her own history on the i,nper
ishable mind Of her child. That tablet
and that history will remain indell,ble
] when time shall be no more That histo-
ry each mother will meet again, ana read
with eternal joy or unutterablc woe III the
Ear ages of eternity. This thought should
weigh on the mind of every mother, and
render her deeply circumspect aud pray
errul. and faithful in her solemn work OF
training up her children for heaven and
immortality. The minds Of children are
very susceptible and easily impressed. A
word, look. Il frown, may engravc on the
mind OF child that which no lapse oil
time can cffacc or wash out. Yes, walk
along the seashore, when the tide is out,
and you form characters, or write words
or names in the smooth, white sand which
lies spread out so clear and beautiful at
your feet, according as your fancy may
dictate, but the running tide shall, in a
few hours, wash out and efface forever all
that you have written. Not so the lines
and characters of truth or error. which
your conduct imprints on the mind OF
your child. There You write impress
ions for the eternal good or i'll Of your
child. There you write Impressions for
the eternal good or i'll ofyour child which
neither the floods or storms Of earth can
wash out, nor deaths cold finger erase,
nor the slow moving ages of eternity can
oblitcrate How careful. then, should
each mother be of herself in the treat
mcnt Of her child. How prayerful how
serious, and how earnest to write the
truths of Cod on his mind--those truths
which shall be his guide and teacher when
her voice shall be silent in death, and her
lips no longer move in prayer in his be-
half, in commencing her dear child to her
covenant God. !.

WHY PoTAToEs Run Our so Soon -
A Seuben county, New York, farmer is
reported as saying: Some one asks why
it is that potatoes so soon run out. There
are iwQ grand reasauS There are but
few pUcTtoes IN I'm tNSS0re fit for seed.
Some are overgrowh, coarse, rank, and
will not transmit the original quality.
Others are undergrown, and not fully de-
vcloped seed. A potato Of medium size,
perfect in all its parts, with change of
ground, will produce its like, al iA.fHi
tim. One other reason, cutting pota
toes between stem and seed end contin-
ually will dcmoralize the institution. 1t
requires the stem and seed to make per-
feet seed If cut, cut lengthwse. Single
eyes will run out any potato. There is
no other seed that will bear mutiation
like the potato; the only wonder is, that
it does not run out completely.
