The history of the potato is a regular oie. flee's Encyclopedia states thant lhe poltato was brought fronm Virgmii by Mir WVahler Raleigh to I reland,--the wrilcer shiuld have said from South Amecrica,--in the latter poutof the sixteenth ceituiry. lie had no' 'idea of its ever hemng used~ as an esculent tit tha.t time. It wa oitSnte'd out to him as a beatifuil flower. anad its hard, hulby root iwas said byv the ntatives, to pos sess medical gjtaliuies. lie took it to Ire laud, where he hadl e-tates pr"euted to him by (Queen ElizabethI, andl pla~ntedl it in his garden. Thel flow'r dlid not improv~e by etiltivation, hat the root grew Ir: eri anid softer. The potatto int its native bed wias a coarse grounid tint. The lihought struek rte pthilosopher to try the poitt as ant eatible, andil ~ing and roasting it, fouind it by either process excellent, Ile then gave some plants to the peasantry, am.d they soot be .came int a measure, a substitute for bread whe'n tile harvest was scanty. TIhe potato was successfully cnltivated in Irebintd buefore it wa :s thought of in Eng land. It grewv inito favor by slow de~grees, atnd was so little knoiwn whetn oor pilgrim fathers camne to this cotutry, that it was 'lot thioutght of for at crop ini the Nri w R orld. It would have beetn an e'xcellent thing for hemt, if they had( beetn negnaintedl withI tho value of the potato It wias not tuntil I17'9, that the it ish Potatb reached this country. A colony of Presbyterian Irish whto settled in L~ondotnderry, in N. llamlpshiire, broueht the root with them. These people found heir ravorite vegetable thrived well inl new grounnds. By dcegrees their ncighbos came into the habit of rasing potatoes, but many years elapsed befbro the culkivation of thein was generally aiong the yeoainry of this country. Long after they were held in coneiipt, nnd tile master mechanuic often had to stipulate with his apprentice that lie should not he obliged to eat potatoes. Anl aged mechanic ouce informed me that he had raised nine bushels, having at that mne (1746) a dozen apprentices, but did not venture to oifler then a boiled potato .with their ncnt, but left them) in tihe cellar for tine apprentices to get and roast as they pleased ; but soon found that he should not have enough for seed, and locked upl) what was left. The next year ie raised the enormous quanitity of thirty bushels; the neighbliors siared, bit the boys devoured them the Following 'winter. Aboit this time some of the gentry broueght this vegetable on their tables, and the prejudice against them vanish- d. Thus by degrees, a taste fimr- them was formed never to be extinguished. The culture of the potato is niow well understood: a crop ieliorates instead of impoverishes the soil. and the culture can be increased to any ex lent. Thus by the curiosity of onne lover of riatinre, and his experinents, has an humble weed been brought from tle mountain of :muth Amerien, and spread over Europe anad North America, until it is enphtically called tine bread of na ticns." Still the! cointry Crom whinice it was taken, has been too ignorant or superstitions to attempt .its eulntivation until wvithin a few years. Now el lights of science are chasilng away tine long deep shadows of tie Andes. "Rice was broight from India in 1721, and cultivated, by nay of experiment in S. Carolina.

A few years ago, the green of a. rich bachelor in the north of Irelaid, had been f ejuettly robbed at night, to a very cou siderable amount; notwithstanding tihe utt most vigilance of the proprietor nnd his servants to protect it, and without the slightest clue being furnished of the detce tion of the robber. Effiectillc y and repeatedly bailled by the ingenuity of the thief or thieves, the proprictor at length ofTered a reward of 100 pounds Ior the appreheisiton of any person or persons detected robbiug the green. A few days after this proclamation, the master was at midnight raised from his bed by. the alarm of a faithful servant "there was somebody with a lantern crossena the green." The master starting from his bed flew to the window.--it was so-lie hurried on his clothes, armed himself with a pistol the servant flew to his loadedi musket, and and they cautiously followed the light. The person with a lantern (a man) was as they pproached, on .tip-toe, distinctly seen stooping and grouping on the ground ; lie was seen lifting and tumbling the line. Tho servant fired ; the robber fell. The man atid iaster nowproceeded to ex-tn ine the spot. Tie robber was lead; lie was reeto;i;ized to be a youth of about nine teen,, who resided a few fields nil. The linen was ut across; bintdlesof it were lied tip; and upon searchiug and- exainin ing farther, tihe servant in the presence of tihe master, picked tip a pea-knife, with the name of the unhappy youth engraved upon the handle. The evidence was conclusive for in the morning the lantern was acknowl edged by tIhe afilicted and impliented father of the boy to be his lantern. Defenee was dumb. The faithful servant received the hi dred poiundsi; reward, and was besides pro tmtuted to be the confidettial overseer of the, emblish mn.-. - This faithful servanit, the .eatial overseer, was shortly oftier proved to havo hec, hiniselr the thief. and was haiged at Dundalk for tionirderof tbeyouth Whoin lie liadcrusllybeityeld.
