ONLY A BOY.

am only boy, with heart light and free;
| am brimming with mischief and frolc and glee {;
dance with delight, and whistle and sing,
And you think such a boy never cares for thing.
But boys have their troubles, though jolly they
seem.
Their thoughts can go further than most people
deem;
Their hearts are as open to sorrow as joy,
And each has his feelings, though only boy.
Now, oft when I've worked hard piling IN wood
Have done all my errands and tried to be good.
! think might then have a rest or play:
But how shall manage? Can any one say?
If start for stroll tits. keep Off the street :"
If go to the house, II is, Mercy. what feet ="
If take me a scat, tits, Here! give me that
chair
If lounge by window, It's, Don't ioiter there"
If ask a few questions, it's, Don't bothermc"
Or else "Such torment never did seeW
am seolded or cutfed if make the least noise,
Till I think in this wide world there's no place for
boys
At college they are shocked if want q good
At home or in church I am in the way;
And it's hard, for don't see that boys are to
blame,
And most any boy, too, viii say just the same.
OF course a boy can't know as much as a man;
But we try to do right just as hard as we can.
Have patience, dear friends, though oft we annoy,
For the best man on earth was once only n boy.

A Compost for Potatoes.

Potatoes require large quantities ofpmasl;
three bushels of wood ashes mixed with each
hundred pounds of bone dust would make an
excellent fertilizer. -Four hundred pounds
of bone dust mixed with twelve bushels OF
ashes, or twenty-cight pounds of crude car
Donate of potash would be sufficient for an
acre of land, if it is all to be put in the hill:
but the crop and the land would be improv-
cd if as much more should be cross.plOwcd
or narrowed in.
To cut potatoes to single eye, hold the
potatoes in the left hand with the stem end
to you. The eyes, you will observe, are ar
ranged in regular rotation from the bottom
to the top, passing spirally around the potato,
somewhat like threads of u screw, constant
ly getting closer and closer rs they approach
what in an apple would be called the blossom
end Take sharp thin ladcd knife place
it midway between the eye nearest you and
the one above it, chip off the eye nearest
you by passing the knife directly down the
TO the point where the potato was attached
to the stem. Now turn the potato until
the next eye in the spiral line appears, and
chip it off in the same way, and so continue
until the potato is all cut up. To locker
on you would seem to be merely sharpening
your potatoes. On the last there will ncccs.
sarily be more eyes than one. This method
of cutting leaves to each eye its due proper
ton of flesh.
Cultivation should be commenced soon after
the shootsappear above the ground, and weeds
should be kept down with as much care ms a
carrot bed The earth should he drawn u
little towards the hill at each hoeing, that the
rootets may gain strength and nutriment
from the surrounding earth. When the bios
SONS appear cultivation should cease; in fact,
it is rarely necessary after this, as the vines
then cover the ground and prevent the growth
of weeds Should weeds appear, however, it
is good plan to go through the patch and
| pull them out with the hands.
