%*$!*(.; ; ' , S v" I *V\ ?r ?a???ww mi a in History of (he Potato. When the Spaniards conquered Peru, iu the lUth century, they carried souk potatoes to Europe and sent them tc the pope. The raw plant was cultivated a little in Spain, Italy, Burgundy and the Netherlands, and from a certaic resemblance to the truflle, an esculent fungus growing in the earth, the ltal ians gave them the name of Tartufi, 01 Taratufolia, whence the Germans tie rive their word lvartofi'el. The Freud called them "Apples of the earth,' Pomiues de terre ; while in Austria ant portions of Germany, the equivalen expression Erd apfel is used. John Hawkins first introduced then iuto England in 15G5. Walter Raleigl brought them here in 1"?S1, and linalh Admiral Drake in loSo. The Jatter sent some to a friend to plant, witl the remark that the fruit was excel leu and nutricious, so that it would be verj useful in Europe. His friend actually planted the tubers, and they grew nicely. But when the seed bails wer< ripe, betook these instead of the tubers and fried them in butter, and sprink ling sugar and cinnamon over them placed them before some company as i 4 *a__ / a/mipoa t Knca Ko lit great raniy. v/i uwuiac iu?ov tasted disgustingly, and the assembly concluded that the fruit would no ripen in Europe. The gardener pullet up the plants and burned them. The gentleman, who chanced to.be present, stepped upon one of the baked potatoes as it lay in the ashes, when it broke open and he noticed that it was white as snow and mealy, and had such an agreeable smell that lie tasted it, and found it very palatable. The new vegetable ^ was thus rescued, but for a century after, it was only cultivated in Iris garden, and in 1C0D the queen of England made the remark in her house book that a pound of potatoes cost two "ft \ MIIIHU^, ^lUuui. vw vv?.?w./ From England the plant was gradually introduced into Holland and France, but at lirst it ouly appeared as an expensive rarity on royal tables, or a decoration in princely rooms. Louis XIV was accustomed to wear a potato blossom in his button hole, and his queen wore a wreath of them as a head ornament at court balls. As in many other instances, scarcity and hunger accomplished a general distribution. The grain crops had failed for several years, and in 1771 a nourishing plaut was sought to relieve this ceed. Iu 1773 an apothecary, named Parmentier, wrote an essay, to which was awarded a prize by the Academy of Natural Science, and in this he directed the attention of political economists to the potato. He also cultivated several acres of them himself. The king was so delighted with the excellent yield that he exclaimed, "You have found bread for the poor!" But the poor, and especially the peasants, would not try them, but despised and scorned the strange bulb. Parmentier now adopted a stratagem. He made a public announcement, that l?io nntatnpa werp nniv rinp. hilt that they were so valuable that he had obtained from the kiug a special protection, and every one who stole a potato would suffer a double penalty. This worked perfectly. The peasants came at night and stole the potatoes, carried them home, and on trial fouud them so good that in a short time every corner of the field was dug over and cleaned out, and the next spring hundreds of peasants planted stolen potatoes. The potato was introduced into Germany still later, although planted in the botanical gardens as early in 15S8. In many parts they were introduced in the years of famine in the thirty Years' war, and then in the beginning of the ISth century they were cultivated and prepared in various ways as food for feeding hogs, for powder, and in making starch. Every time the grain harvest failed, the potato made rapid advances into favor. The manner iu which the Prussian government aided its introduction is well told by the celebrated Xettlebeck in his autohiagraphy ; "J was a youngster about 0 or 7 vears old. and iust putting: on trous ers?say about 1743 or 174-1?when there was a dreadful scarcity, so that many persons died of hunger. In the following year the city of Kolberg received a present by the favor of Frederick the Great, a thing utterly unknown up to that time., A large freight wagon full of potatoes came to the market place, and an announcement was made throughout the city and suourbs that every owner of a garden should be at the city hall at a certaiu hour, and by the grace of the king a benefi t was to be conferred on them. People began to conjecture what that had to do with the gift, and the less they knew the more they wondered. The city fathers now exhibited the fruit to the assembled mulitude, and a long lecture was delivered on planting, cultivating and cooking them. It would certainly have been much better to have given them out written or printed instructions, for in the noise and tumult very few paid any attention to the lecture. On the contrary, the good people took the highly praised tubers with wonder, smelled and tasted aud shook their heads. Some were thrown to the dogs, who snufTed about them, aud of course rejected them with disdain. Judgment was pronounced against them. "See," said they, "they have no smell, no taste, and even the dogs will not eat them ; what help will they be to us?" The belief was general that they grew on trees, very lew were planted astney should have been, some sticking single ones iu the ground here and there, paying no further attention to them. Others piled them in heaps and threw a little dirt over tbem. "The next year another load of pototoes was sent, but experience had taught them something, and a person was sent along who understood the cultivation, and who aided in the planting and took care that they were attended to." In many places the government was obliged to use compulsory measures, and dragoons watched the peasants to see that they planted potatoes. In other places the priests and clergy endeavored to enlighten the people and stimulate them, but everywhere the progress was slow. Before it had been fairly established, the disease appeared, which first, in 17<>4, infested Erzgebirge, then in 1780-1790 South Germany and Hanover, and in 1830 West Germany. In the great famine of 1770 in Bohemia, where they had no potatoes, ISO,000 persons starved, while in Silesia, where potatoes were already cultivated, all jived. In Switzerland, potatoes were frequently cultivated as early as 17o0; in the famine of 1771, they saved thousands of lives, but they did not come into general use until the beginning of tiiia century, una principally since uie scarcity of 1S17. If great things have been done by faith why may not great things still be done? The power that could break the seal and roll baj:k the stone, can also break the powejt of death and roll back the burden ofSsin from the heart. fe I .

AS1IU0V. j Llieir laujlliea* luauiv uuu iv/t nuv/ii a training. It is an easy matter for the old devil to prevail upon an old blackguard to rip out an oath before ayouug boy : but bow dillicult, sometimes, it is to get the father of that boy to lift his voice in prayer before him ! Such an uttitudebofore his children is unworthy [>f the Christian parent. The devil advertises sin ; why may not the Christian advertises his Christianity? No better inlluence can be brought to bear unon the vonno- minri than that of an earnest prayer to God iu his presence, that he may be led aright through the temptation of life. Youug people brought up under such influences make good church members, Bp worth Leaguers, and never get too >ld to go to Sobbath school. God bless the memory of those old 'athers in Methodism who used reguarly to gather the family together, read from the "Old Book," sing a song of tton, and then pour out their sojls to Jod for his direction and counsel. Fhis is strikingat the point of traiuing up a child in the way he should go. Kew children who are thus reared bring their parents to sorrow in their ild age. Go into the churches of to-day, and it is easily noticeable that a large per ;ent. of the congregation do not kneel n prayer?and they, too, members of ;he Church! The cause of this is round in many cases in tne iacK 01 ueirotion at home. O, for a decided stand for Christ ilong the line ! Lord, give us more lonsecrated family altars! Such will insure a revival of the "old time religion.' The loafer never blames the right nan for his bad luck. To those who know God's voice lie is ilways telling his love. Our friends may leave us, but God >vill still be very close. There are too many people who have nore religion thau love. We once read the story of an Kngislimau wbo hanged himself because hev had brought his tea without suear. There are hours in life when the most grilling cross takes the form of a calamity. Our tempers are like an opera-glass which makes the object small >r great, according to the end you iook through. He who never connects God with his Jaily life, knows nothing of the spiritual meanings and uses of life; nothing )f the calm, strong patience with A'bich ills may be endured ; of the gen:le, tender comfort which the Father's ove can minister; of the blessed rest :o be realized in his forgiving love, his ender fatherhood. ; To Cure a Cold in One Day.
