In view of the scuroity of feeds of al

easy mode of projiogttiug Irish potatoes
lid tomatoes ; 1 lueati by cuttings. When
the potatoes hnvo couie out of the eart li
three or lour inches, on a rainy day 01
after n shower take up all the roots ex
cept the one which is to remain, and scl
them out as you would tomatoes ar cabbage
plants, or sweet potutoc drawers ?
'ihey will grow and bear as early *s those
that aro left cn the potafoe. it you wish
to iiic-caso your lri*h potntoo crop still
more, when the bush Mminences to branch
out eut or break a number of these branches
froi i four to six inches long, ind set
llieiu out as tl they had roots to ihcm
They will grow readily, and will bear j?o
tatocs later than the others. Cuttings ol
the tomatoes also grow very readily.
In transplanting cabbages, tomatorr
and- other plants liable to destruction bj
'the grub or eut worm, a bit of pspct
wrapped around the stem previous to plant
I ing, and extending an inch or ?n??r ? above
I the surface ol the soil, will cffectiuilU
j pr'itect them. All fnnuers or gardceri
j knew what ravages they can coiuu if, in
the spring especially. This simply pro
cess, requiring very little additional trou
blc, will have much disappointment nnci
labor of replanting. The paper can re.

In "A Trip to Ouba," writton by II
Dana, Jr., of B'?stc?n, an out and out Abo
litionists, he is forced by being brought
lino contact with thp negro, to make (hit
confession : *
"The negro of the North U an ideal no
pre; it is the negro refitted by while culture,
elevated by white blood, instructed
even by white iniquity. Thenegri. anions

thick skull creatures as Cu'iban, bay, ai
the laziest of brutes, chiefly ambitious tc
be of no use to anybody in the world, lie
has but the ta> g-.bla instincts of all creatures?love
of life, oi eaae, of offspring.
For all else ho must go to school to the
white race, and his discipline must be long
and laborioua. Nnssuu and all*we aaw sugjested
