Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondent has tried to his
high satisfaction the experiment of
propagating sweet potatoes from
vines saved during the winter. In
the fall, any time before frost, the
vines may be cut in any lengths and
placed in layers on the surface of the
earth to the dept, of twelve or eigll~
teen inches. Cover the vines with
partially rotten straw TO the depth
of six inches, and cover the whole
with light soil about four inches
deep. In this way the vines will
keep during the witner, and in the
spring will put out sprouts as the
potato itself when beddcd. The
draws or sprouts can be planted first.
and the vine itself can be cut up and
psed as we generally plant slips.

Good Hams.

take them down and thoroughly rub
the flesh part with mo!ascs, then i'm

dercd pepper, by sprinklins on as
much will stick to the molasses, when
they must be hung up again to dry.
Hams treated in this manner will
keep perfectly sweet for two or three
years. This must be done before
the fly deposits its eggs. for after
that is done nothing will stop their
ravages: The above has been prac-
ticed in our section for more than
twenty years. No soaking is nces-
sary. One pint of molasses AMI one
or two pounds of black pepper are
sufficient for any ordinary family.

Deep waters are still. Wiso men

Real greatness does not depend on the
things we do, but on the mind with

Of humiliation.

Warm Bathing.

Many erroneous notions prevail
respecting the use and properties
of the warm bath. To many per.
sons the idea of submersion in warm
water, on summers day, would be
preposterous but, if it be nationally
considered, it will be found that the
warm bath may be taken with equal
or perhaps greater benefit in the
summer than in the winter. During
hot weather the sccretions of the
skin are much increased in quantity,
and consequently greater necessity
exists that it should be perfectly free
from Instructions. Another prevail
ing error respecting the warm bath
is that it tends TO relax and cner.
vate the body; for experience has
sufficiently proved the fallacy of the
opinion, and many physicians have
prescribed their use to patients Ia
boring under debility from disease,
none Of whom have experienced such
effects, but have all felt invigorated
and mostly restored to health and
strength. Many persons are deter
red from using the warm bath, espc-
cially in winter, from the fear of
catching a cold; hut this fear is
groundIess, fer it has been found
that the warm bath. by increasing
the circulation on the surface Of the
body, renders it more capable Of
withstanding the effects of cold than
it otherwise would have been.

THE CONQUERED BANNER
BY FATHER RYAN.


Furl that banner for tits weary;
Round its staff It's dropping dreary.
Furl it-fola il il is best;
For there's not man to wave it,
And there's not sword to save it;
There's not one left to lave it
In the blood that heroes gave it;
And its foes now scorn and brave it
Furl it-fold it; let it rest
Take that banner down. 'Tis tattered!
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it foated high.
Oh tits hard for us to fold 1t
Hard to think there's none to hold 1t
And that those who once unrolled it
Now must furl it with sigh!
Furl that banner. Furl it sadly.
Once, six millions hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand wildly, madlv,
Swore it should forever wave!
Swore that foeman's sword should never
Hearts entwined like theirs discover
And, upheld by brave endeavor,
That dear flag should float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furlit For the hands that grasped it,
And the hands that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low:
And that banner prone is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe!
For. though conquered, they adore it;
Love the cold, dead hands that boreit;
Weep for those who fell before it
Pardon those who trailed and tore it
And, oh wildly they deplore it,
Now to furl and fold il so!
Furl inat banner! True, tits CORY;
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
And, twill live in song and story,
Though now PROSTATE in the dust
For its fame on brightest pages
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall 60 sounding dswn the ages,
Furl its folds though now we must
Furl that banner sadly-slowly!
Treat it gently-it is holy,
For it waves above the dead.
Touch it pot-unfurl it never!
Let it lie there, furled forever
For its peoples hopes are dead!

Secession.

Some of the citizens of Northern Ida
ho are going to hold a convention soon,
for the purpose of e|ecting delegates to
a convention to be held in Walla Wal
la early in June next. It might be
we'll enough for these gentlemen to get
the consent Of their parents before en-
gaging in such an enterprise. We are
not aware that any law has yet passed
looking to the dismembermeut Of this
territory, and the proceedings referred
to look a little like an attempt to secede.'
Secession was tried once on much
larger scale down South and resulted
disastrously to all concerned. Our
northern friends who are mainly good
fellows, by the way, and for that rta-
son we do not wish to part with tho 20,
shouldn't be in too much of hurry in
this matter. Before doing anyth ing
rash let them learn les son from past
history. The State of Wa shington is lot

think it will not be for some years UT.
