Potatoes, says the New England Farmer.
in most localities have proved very I'M
satisfactory crop this season. The quality
is better than in some years. but the yield
has been light with great deal of loss
from rot. Potatoes that were dug and
put in the cellar early. will in many cases
need to be looked over, and the rotten
ones carried out to keep the cellar sweet
and fit for other stores If they are
known to be rotting in the field, it is gen
orally better to let them remain till the
sound and diseased can be readily distin-
guished and sorted out, but the later var
ieties will be fit to dig this month. and
should be harvested before very cold
weather makes it disagreeable handling
them.

statement the business failures for the

considerable increase. both in the number
of failures and in the amount of the liabil-
tiles over the corresponding period of last
year. The same is true of the failures of
the last three months. The increase
comes chiefly from the South. In the
Estern and Pacific States the footings show
very little difference between this year
and last In the Middle and Western
States the failures have fallen off, both in
number and amount. while Canada, for
the last quarter. makes better showing

HOW LONG MAY A MAN LIVE

1t was Professor Hufeland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life may be set at
two hundred years. This is on the general
principle that the life of creature is eight
times the years of its period of growth. That
which is quickly formed quickly perishes,
and the earlier complete development is
reached the sooner bodily decay ensues.
More women reach old age than men, but
more men attain remarkable longevity than
women Some animals grow to be very old.
Horned animals live shorter lives than those
without horns, fierce longer than timid, am
phibious longer than those which inhabit the
air. The voracious pike exists, it is said, TO
the age of one hundred and forty; the turtle
is good for one hundred or more and among
birds the golden eagle is known to have lived
two hundred years; while the sly and somber
crow reaches the venerable age of century.
Passing up in the scale of life to man, and
skipping the patriarchs, we may find many
recorded instances of longevity among the
classic Greeks and Romans Pliny notes
that in the reign Of the Emperor Vespasian,
in the year rs, there we're one hundred and
twenty four men living in the limited area of
the Apenines and the Po Of one hundred
years and upward, three Of whom were one
hundred and forty, and four over one hun
dred and thirty.f five. Cicero's wife lived to
the age of one hundred and three, and the
Roman actress Luceja played in public as
late as her one hundred and twelfth year.
Coming down to more recent times, the most
notable authentic instance of great age is
that of Henry jenkins, of Yorkshire, Eng.
land, who died in 1870, one hundred and six.
ty-nine years old. He was fisherman, and
at the age of one hundred easily swan across
rapid rivers. Another historic case is that
of Thomas Parr, of Shropshire, day labor:
er, who lived to the age of one hundred and
fifty two years. When more than one hun
dred and twenty, he married his second wife,
and till one hundred and thirty he could
swing the scythe and WELD the fail with the
best of his fellow-laborers. In his one hun
dred and fifty. second year, Parr went up to

THE EARLY DAYS OF JAY GOULD.

In the course of al interesting sketch of
Jay Gould, written by the New York CORES
pondent of the Rochester Democrat, the
writer says: Jay Gould was born forty FIVE
years ago in Roxbury, Delaware county, N.
va rough and sequestered spot, where pow
erty was the general condition, with few op-
portunities for education and improvement
His parents we're poor and being early thrown
upon his own resources, he soon displayed that
faculty for acquisition which has thus far
marked his history. His father was farmer,
and as Jay was puny and unable to work, his
parents were discouraged at the chld's poor
prospects. He lost his mother in his tenth
year, and as home had no charms to detain
him, he determined to 60 to Hobart. and at-
tend school. In order to pay his board he
aided man in bookkeeping and general
accounts, in which he was remarkably expert.
Indeed, every one he met was soon convinced
that Farmer Gould's boy was keen at every
thing.
Two years afterward Jay Gould was clerk
ing in Roxbury store, where he made his
mark as the liveliest, sharpest, manifest fel'
low of his size ever seen in that place. Squire
Burhall, his employer, is still alive, and keeps
one of those old.fashioned country stores
where one finds almost everything that is
required The squire little thought that his
clerk, smart as he was, would ever make
such figure in the world. Jay, even then
was looking far ahead. Every spare moment
was devoted to the study of surveying, which
he intended to make his profession. Before
he reached eighteen, $40 month was offered
him to assist in making map of Delaware
county, which he readily accepted.
His employer Aled just before the work
reached completion, and Gould finished the
job, which proved remunerative, and no
doubt yielded 5000 clear profit. This en-
couraged him to continue surveying, and he
did some work of this kind in adjacent coun
ties, after which he made surveys in Michigan
and Ohio. He had turn for writing, and
the first history of Delaware county was
from his pen. We thus see him before he
reached full manhood, a light built, energetic
pedestrian, who mastered every difficulty
and surprised the public by the contrast be-
tween his diminutive size and his rare ability
His maps and his survey gave him capital
of 81 900 before be was twenty-one.

and they retired to rest. The next morning,
as he threaded his way to church through

voice Of the stranger at his devotions. The
elevation of the sentiments convinced him

TO LIVE LONG AND GET RICH.

two interesting questions. One was how he
managed to live so long, and the other how
he got rich. In answer to the first question
Mr.. Cooper said 81 should put it in two
words, live soberly and rghteousy. We are
required not to eat too much, nor to drink too
much, nor to work too much, nor to play too
much. We are living on earth under beau.
tiful and bene6cent law, designed in infinite
wisdom for the elevation Of mankind. | in
fer that just in proportion as we live in obe
dience to these laws We shall have health and
comfort. If we disobey these laws we shall
pay the penalty. The penalty of disobedi-
ence must be paid somewhere, at some time"
How did you get rich?'
ain the first place, I learned three trades.
I learned to be brewer, a coach maker and
a macbinist, and before l was twenty.one
years old. / worked three years at $3.50
day, and I saved enough out of that to get
start in life. was making machines to shear
cloth. Then l bought the patent right of the
machine and made them for sale. That was

on and enlarged my business, all the while

time when l could not pay what owed any

I'm sitting on the stile, Mary,
Sitting on the stile,
But the bull dog in the front yard
Keeps barking all the while;
Why don't you tell your pa, Mary,
Or John, if he's about,

And make the dog git eout?
Now I'm sitting on the fence, Mary,
Before the kitchen door,
But the pesky ugly bull dog
Barks louder than before;
And thought saw shadow, Mary,

All arms and legs, like Reuben Brown,
Against the whitewashed wall.
If that is Reuben's shadow, Mary,
If that was Reuben's shade,
Twill bring the 'spepsy back on me,
Pm very much afraid;
Oh, why this cruel treatment,
Why keep me in suspense,
Why don't you make the dog git cont,
And let me of the fence?
I've got a keow and calf, Mary,

A score Of pretty sheep, too,
As ever fed in fold;
And daddy told me yesterday,
When Dapple had colt.
He'd let me have 1t, certain, sure
Amt that Reub Brown dolI?
And mammy's knitting stockings now
To buy 9. cotton web,
One half the sheets are to be mine,
And half for sister Deb;
And nanny says which ever one
First brings partner hum,
Shall have the pumkin blossomed quilt
Say, Mary won't you come?
Gee whillikins! you'd ought to see

Sent me by cousin Ben,

When he gins out to crow
If he was here to blow his horn,
He'd bring you out know.
But, Mary, if you won't have me,
And will have Mr.. Brown,

That's wide awake in town,
But one thing you ought to know
Before turn my back
That is, that Prudence Pattengale

LARD AND RosIN FOR TooLs.-Take
about three pounds of lard and one pound
of rosin. Melt them together iia basin or
kettle, and rub over all iron or steel surfaces
in danger of being rusted. 1t can be put on
with brush or piece of cloth, and wherever
it is applied, it most effectually keeps air and
moisture away, and of course, prevents rust.
When knives and forks and other household
articles, liable to be' ONE rusted or spotted,
are to be laid away, rub them over with this
mixture, and they viii come out bright and
clean even years afterwards The coating may
be so thin as not to be perceived, and it will
still be efectual. Let every one keep dish of
this preparation on hand. As it does not spoil
of itself, it may be kept mixed for months or
years. Mem. Fresh lard, containing no salt,
should be used. Rosin is a cheap article,
and may be obtained almost anywhere from
four to six per cent a pound.-Ameriean Ag-
