Whichis Right +?

Last week in giving an account of the
rescue. OF the steamer. Marine, City,; we
gave the:scredit of getting the stranded
vessel off to both the wrecking tugs, Cru
sader and Leviathan. We derived the
Information of the cifcumstances con
nected Herewith from passengers on the
Marine, taken in connection with the fact
that the Crusader was first sent for;
while a few hours later came dispatch
Tor the Leviathan to go to the, assistance
OF the Marine, also. The Chicago Times,
Of the 10th, says that Capt. st. Clair, OF
the Crusader, furnished the Times with
report of his weeks work, which con-
talns the statement that he went TO the
assistance of the Marine and got her off
aoltf'out the assistance of the Leyiathan.
AS the Leviathan went to the stranded
vessel, and the passengers state did assist
IN her rescue, and some of the passengers
say dlu almost the entire work after her
arrival, we cannot but conclude that the
Times statement is an Incorrect one.

Early Potatoes.

BY taking a little extra trouble, farmers
and gardeners may have wel-grown new
potatoes on their tables two or three weeks
in advance of the usual time for them.
And a man who is not willing to take a
good deal OF extra pains in matters like
this lacks his snare of the real gardening
instinct, which began with Adam. When
we arrive at that period of leisure which
all busy men look forward to. and which
Horace Greeley said he should employ in
'g'ing- a-fshing," we shall take more pride
in the first lettuce. peas, straw berries, pota-
toes an l tomatoes, and the whole catalogue
Of garden luxuries, than in any other SUBJ
lunary thing. AS matters stand we would
rather beat nice neighborhood of garden
ers in these things than TO be-well. say
secretary or war, or leader of Washing
ton society.
But we started to speak of advancing the
early potato crop. Those who have tried
it know that little is gained by planting pc
tatoes, or anything else, in the "cold, cold
ground" during our always backward spring
times. Potatoes will often lie for month
in the ground without sprouting so much
as their companions that were left in the
cellar. But we have often flsnked the
weather in this wise: Some three weeks be-
fore the earliest planting time, select few
of your fairest and best Early Rose-those
that show signs Of sprOuting, if any there
be-and cut them in pieces having but one
eye on each. Take any shallow box--like
a grape box and sprinkle in layer of
moist earth or sand then put in layer of
the potatoes, an inch ,r two apart. with the
eyes up. Cover them with two or three
inches of dirt, and put on another layer OF
potatoes. covering with dirt as before. A
hundred or two "sets" can be starr ed in this
way with very little trouble. Put the box
in the corner of the kitchen back of the
stove, or any warm place, and sprinkle it
with water occasionally. By the time the
earth is warm, dry, and ready for planting,
your potatoes will be nicely sprouted, and
will also have thrown out a fine net work
of tender roots.
For the early patch, we think it economy
to prepare the ground IN trenches-mt low
ing i up finely, and putting IN plenty of
fertilizers, of which nothing is so good for
potatoes as wood ashes used with barnyard
or hen manure, and little lime, on some
soils. 1t will require n little pains, of
course, to remove the ''sets' from the box
without breaking the sprouts but it can
be done, even when they have grown so as
to show the green leaf on the end. When
single eyes are used, they may be placed, il
you are cramped for room, eight or even
seven inches apart in the trench. Cover
the sprouts carefully, not being afraid to
use your hands, and give them good top
dressing of compost. They will grow right
on without interruption, and should be
hoed frequently, the row system facilitat-
ing the killing. By this method you can
not only secure potatoes several weeks
earlier, but you get ahead of the bugs,
which is TO be an item this year, even in
New ENGLAND Golden Rule.

MYSTERY.

MYSTERY.
BY ELMO WILDWOOD.
Mysterious voices are everywhere
Thrilling the earth and filing the air;
The realm OF mind is a shadowy sphere
FILLED with the whispers Of angels here
Mystery broods DER the land and sea
Unsoved by tho sage's theory.
Go whore you will, the earth resounds
With the mystery of unk nown sounds;
BY the lonely lake in winter time
Where breaking Ice foes clink and chime
As thoy rise and fall upon the crest,
A wall is heard from the waves deep breast.
Beyond the continents rdgy spine
Where fervid suns OF troplc shine,
In Wild retreat remote from man
The lonely huntsman at even can,
In pasture mute, with listening ear,
Metallic sounds from the sand-hills hear.
Low and tremulous the fine notes swell
In silvery waves, whence none can tell
These sounds have heard; and strange and
rare
Terror Of the red-men, surely are there
Pray don't explain the musical heart
OF the hills defles the theorists art.
Within league OF an ancient town,
Southwark, stands mansion old and brown.
Go thither, when nalf his course has run,
Declining westward the setting sun;
Placed firmly within Its aged wall
Is a dormer window deep and small.
Find 1t ; now look for the midmost pane;
CHASTITY visage set there as plain
IaarA
Staring out at the window Blind
The place is haunted, the servants say,
And is Stunned by them until this day.
In the mountain wilds Of western Wales,
A land Of COLLINS and fairy tales,
An honest curate as he walked at night
Home from the chapel upon the hight,
Saw as he passed DER the drifted snow
His steps illumed with canny glow.
That seemed TO burn with strangered glare,
Cleaning abroad In the frosty air;
The curate himself with all his lore
Powderlng this strange thing DER and DER
No cause assigned, but thing unknown
And unexplained the mystery owned.
Why seeks the clambering vine the stake,
And changed will still the same course take :
And the chambored cliffs where wild plants
grow;
Through that vaulted gloom how can they
know
| Tho best and briefest path to take
And union with the loose earth make.
| The theme is 90 broad for my poor pen;
| II things OF time are beyond the ken
What must eternity itself be?
| Enough for US the Just decree
| That right shall live and wrong shall die,
When We pass the portals of the sky.
