THE sAUCY ROGUE.
FROM THE GERMAN, BY s. 8. G.


There is saucy rogue well known
10 youth and gray-beard, maid and crone-
A boy, with eyes that mirth bespeak,
With curly locks and dimpled cheeks;
He bas sly demurish air.
But, maiden fair,
Take care, take care!
His dart may wound you, unaware!
With bow and arrows in his hand
he Wanders up and down the land;
Ills Jolly sport to aim dart
Atsome poor maiden's futtering heart;
She wonders whathas hurt her there.
All, maiden fair,
Take care, take care!
His dart may wound you, unaware!
Her nimble hands the distaf ply;
gallant soldier boy rides by;
He gives her such loving glance
Her heart stands still, as in trance,
And death pale sinks the maiden fair
Quick, mother there,
Give heed, take care,
Else you may lose her, unaware!
Who stands there laughing at the door?
That rogue, who triumphs thus once more!
Both lad and maiden he has hit,
And laughs as though his sides would split.
And so he sports him everywhere;
Now here, now there;
He mocks your care;
You fall his victim, unaware!
Now who SO masterful and brave
10 catch and hold this saucy knavee
Whoever binds hiu strong and fast,
His name and deed shall always last.
But, if this dangerous task you dare,
Beware take care,
Lest i'll you fare
The rogue may catch you, unaware!

Ready Wit.

OF the late Louis A Cooley, who was a
readywitted man, Colonel Forney relates
the following:
On one occasion, at an evening enter
tainment at Godey's house, two angry
disputants were facing each other, al
most ready to resort to blows, when Co.
dey picked up {. huge carving-knife from
the suppor-table and handed it to the
most violent Of the two. The latter un-
consciously received it, at the same time
demanding Of Cooley, "What do you
mean by this, sir?''
II mean,' said the jolly editor-"I
mean that you should cut off the quarrel
right here
The general explosion ct merriment
made the controversy so ridiculous that il
was stopped at once, the excited adver,
saries themselves joining in the laugh
as they shook hands and begged pardon
of the host.

RAIN Adm SHINE.
(pAITsAnEi

The clouds are thick and darkly lowered;
The sullen sodden sky would fain
Pour down a never ending shower:
hear the pattering of the rain,
I here it rattle on the pain
And then see the mist entWinlng
Nor one position long retain,
Behold the gentle sun is shining!
AS though exulting in its power,
The storm beats down with steady strain;
Upon the ivy of the tower
I here the pattering OF the rain;
Itswiftly sweeps across the plain
And then see the sky refining
And molten with a golden stain.
Behold! the gentle sun is shining!
Beneath the storm the cattle cover;
1t beats upon the growing grain,
And as it breaks both bud and flower,
hear the pattering of the rain
From where the clouds too long have lain
They turn and show silver lining,
A splendid glory comes again.
Behold the gentle suti is shining!
ENVOY.
Although like some far, faint refrain,
hear the pattering of the rain,
The storm is past. No more repining.-
Behold the gentle sun is shining!

Raising Potatoes.

I saw an article in the Prairie Farmer,
signed "R. E. p on raising potatoes, which
think is good in many respects, but in some
little behind the times, especially in digging.
He says a man can dig from fourteen to
twenty barrels per day with hoe If 1 had
to dig potatoes with a hoe, I should never
raise many more than [ need for my
own use. I use a potato plow, with which I
can lay on top of ground from 200 to 500
bushels per day, according to the crop, and
do it as clean as hoe will do it, if the ground
is in good order.
My mode of preparing seed is as follows: 1
discard the seed ends, and then cut the potato
in as many pieces as the size of it will admit,
each piece not smaller than a hens egg. If
there are more than two eyes in piece, cut
them out. Let them wilt few days, and
plant in rows three feet apart and fifteen
inches IN the row. In this way I can raise
| more marketable potatoes than in any way
| have ever tried. I have for the last two
years planted early Vermont for early use, as
I find them to out yield the early rose, and
come in from eight to ten DAYS earlier. In
| planting pillow straight furrow and drop
the potatoes half way on the furrow side, and
| let the next furrow cover them, and so Drop
ping in every third furrow. I then plank the
ground over, the driver standing on the plank.
When the weeds begin to start, I harrow at
intervals until the crop is four inches high.
After that the cultivator is run close to the
rows until it is time to lay by. If the pota-
toes are sold carly, you can raise crop of
turnips on the same land. G.. B. R.

Eertilizins with Clover.

Nothing helps land SO much as clover.
Ola worn out fields can be put in a state of
fair productiveness by sowing to clover and
keeping in clover a few years. Clover makes
good pasturage and is especially valuable in
seasons of draught, as it resists it better tnan
any other pasturage crop. 1t likewise makes
excellent hay. If cut in the proper time,
saved in proper manner, and put away in
sheds and barns it is the best hay for most
kinds of stock that farmers can save. Pillow
the ground for clover eight or ten inches
deep if you can. Harrow in nicely, and in
March on light snow, if it falls, sow the seed.
It is better to SOW it without any other crop.

The real needs of poultry are few and SIM
pie. They are: Warm, dry, vermin-proof
roosting, and laying quarters, clean water,
from. If any hens are found lousy or sickly
under such conditions, cut off their toe-nails
just behind their ears. and the flock will be
better forit. Why should we expect to have
good poultry and eggs upon our tables, if we
dose the poor creatures all the time upon nom
sensical nostrums? Poultry do best when
made to work, that is, to scratch for their
living. Feed them one full meal OF mixed
grain every morning at sunrise, and let them
have ample range the rest of the day Change
the treatment from nonsense to common
sense for mutual benefit.
