aoia oJ gentleman who had resided for
some years in Peru that q very gnnnr;nr
variety OF the Irish potato was produced
IN the mountainous regions living imme-
dlateiy back Of Lima, some seventy or

these potatoes as being OF medium size
round, OF bright golden color when
cooked, and of delicious faycr very
diherent from that Of any variety Of
potato known in this country. He said
ne was OF the opinion that they might be
cultivated :, to advantage in his country.

me gentleman spoke SO highly of these
potatoes and expatiated upon their
appearance and flavor in si.ch rlow-
l1g terms that Gen. lie Due became con-
Fibccd That they were of kind hitherto
unknown to American aeTicuiturists. and
thatIt they could be introduced into This
country they would be a great and Yalu-
able acquisition. The knowledge also
that the potato is indigenous 10 Peru and

The Christmas Tree.

A flash of light, a merry hum,
And peals of ripping laughter sweet,
The pattering oftiny feet,
And, 10, the little children come.
A stately fir tree rears its head,
+. With stars and tapers all a blaze;
And quiyering in the fairy rays,
The glittering, loaded branches spread.
The childish eyes are sparkling bright,
And the childish hearts withjoys o'erflow
And on the birthday long ago
They ponder with grave delight.
Then to their gifts they turn .nce more,
And in the present sunshine lost,
They fear no future tempest-tossed,
But unto fairy regions soar.
No ores, no fears, a happy time
OF laughter; tears that cannot stay;
An April day, year of May,
Pealed in and out with Christmas chime.
