The following amusing illustration of the diversified uses to which sweet potatoes may be applied, we extract from Colonel Clailhorne's graphic sketch of a "Trip through the Piney Woods." in the eastern part of our State.-South Western Farm. In answer to our eager shout, a female voice that rounded most benignantly, bade us "light." We walked in. drenched and drip'ping, and found ourselves at the resi dence of an aged widow, who, with four daughters and three sons, had lived there many years, thcir nearest neighbor being twelve miles off. They owned a large stock of cattle, and the three boys (as the good mother called her sons, who were tall enough fbr Prussian grenadiers.) were then absent with a drove. Finding ourselves welcome, we stripped our horse, and led him to a small stable that stood near. We found the trough filled with potatoes, and the rack with hay made of the dried vines. Our horse ate them with great relish. On this farm, as on most of the others in the same locality, a few acres are cowpened and planted in corn, for bread ; an acre or two for rice; but the main crop is the tMC potato. Sonic nations boast of their palm tree, %hich supplies them with food, oil, light ,fuel, shelter, and clothing-but it will be seen, that we have in the potato. a sta ple article, scarcely inferior to it. It will grow upon soils too thin to produce corn, and with little culture. It may be con verted into a valuable manure. For for age, it is excellent. [logs and cows thrive upon it exceedingly. An acre properly cultivated will yield from ibree to five hun dred bushels. Its faritaaceous properties make it almost equal to bread, and it sup plies some of the most delicious dishes for he dessert. Supper was somewhat tardy; but in en adjining house, lit up by a brik fire, we beard sundry'*-notes of preparation." was a rare er-a fine loin of beef was flanked round with potatoes, niceiv br *ned, and s -ming in gravy. A hash of wild turkey was garnished woh potatoes mixed up with it. A roast fowl was stuffed with potatoes; beside us stood a potato biscuit, as light as sponge; the rOfee, which was stron amn well flavored, nas made of potatoe* and one of the girls drew from a corne- upboar:.. a rich pota to pie. In about an hour a charming little blue eyed girl brought us a tumbler of potato beer, that sparklcl like chanspagne, and rather archly intimated that there were some hot potatoes in the ashes, if we felt like eating one. The beer was admirable, and we were told that good whiskey, mo laisce, and vinegar, were sometimes made of potatoes. At length we turned in. The little rhamber we were shown to. was the per rection of neatness. The ilo'r was sprin kled over with white sand. A small mir ror huug on the wall. froim which wassus pended a soit of napkin, iabtily worked all over. Above wan a rotary of hinli-eggs of every color. and over the % indow, and pinned along the white curtains of the bed were wrtenths of flowrers, now dry indeed, but retaining their beautiful tints, and rma king really as very pretty orinment.

Thle pillovws were bordered with frinsgedl net-work, and the sheets as white as the untrod snon; but the bed itsel-f, though soft and plcasant, was male of potato rinas. Either from our fu tigue, our lase and' hearty supper, or frm our imaguination being somiewhat excited, wre rested badly; the nightmare brooded over us; we dreamned that we hadlLi urned to a big~ potato, and that some ono was dig ging4 us up. Perspiring, struggling. we clenched the bed, and finally leaped up, gasping fur breath, it was some titme be fore the horrid idea would quit us, In the morning.Owing to the drenching of the previous day, we were an invalid, atnd threatenied with fever and sore thmoat. The kind tild lady insisted otn our remain ing itn bedl; aund bhe immediately bound a mashedl rast potato, just from she ashes, mtiistened writh warmi vitegar, so our neck, anad gave its a profusely hot tea, mtade of dried potato vines. TIhese appli catiotis actedJ like a charm, and with she additiont of a few simoples frum the wood, were all the retmdiail agents ever used by this happy family. TIhey could scarcely form a conception of a physician, such as we have seen hinm here, riding day and night, keeping half a dozen horses, follow ing tho pestilence to enrich science with its spoils, attending the poor from charity, accumulating fortunes from the infirmities oft he human family, but not unfrequently louuing life in the effort. The mistress oi the house had never known a fever, old as she was-her blooming daughters looked incredulous, when we deerabed the rava ges of disease in other parts of the State: arnd certain is is, that none of them had evei befrea seen otto te wsere for having r-od4 six hor in thee.

I To the many intelligent cultivators who i are exceptions to these remarks, it is hard . ly necessary to say it is inconceivably bet i ter for fruit trees to stand in contstantly cultivated soil, which is occupied by such r crop6 as beans. turneps or potatoes; or I where it is absolutely redful that they stand in a garss field, the grass should al ways be kept as short as possible, and the trees spaded round every mouth through the season, to a distance of at least three feet on each side. It is also well known that very large holes for set iing the trees in when they are transplanted, by afford ing to the roots a broad deep bed of loose andl fertile earth, is oftbe greatest impor tance. But the digging of holes six or eight feet in diameter. and a root and a half deep, and the constant subsequent cuitureof the trees by haud labor, may seem too formidable to farmers in mnder ate circumstances. To obviate these objections, the follow ing course may be puraued. anti the labor of the common mote of thorough trans planting, and after culture, in a great measure avoided. The land to be allot ted the fruit garden, havitng been properly enclosed, the rows may he laid off at a distance of a rod and a half to two rods apart; and a strip of land from eihit to ten reet n ide. in the centre of which the row is to stand, is then by rep.ated and deep plowings, to be fitted for the rece) tion of the trees. In order that the plow ing may be dJeep enough. the plow should run several times successively in the saw furrow; anti if rotted manure is thorougly intermixed at the same time by this ope ration, the trees will grow more luxuriA antly. Chip manure will be funnd a val uble addition, especially to heavy soils. if this work i commented immediately. or a month or two before the trees are set out, it would be all the better for it. The trees are then placed at a distance of ahott eight feet in the row, and the holes, which are very easily dug in this bed of mellow earth, need be no larger than the length --f*the roots require. ger is still marc effectually prevented, if the centre furrow be partly iled with chips, straw, or corn stalks, as has been elsewhere recommended. and the water thus drained ofl.

Whether any person has becn inadu ced to try experiments with it, I am not informed; hut I have extended my inlui. ries, antd obtained many imitlporint facts.

Curefira Cancer.-A lady who had rot several years been afflicted with a cancer extending all over the breast and stomach, and during that troatment under physi cans, without deiving any benefit, was advised toi try a ponlice of what is termed carrot dock, a small long leaved variety which grows with a long root,* and also to drink a tea made from it, to be sweetened with the syrup of sarsaparilia. She did so, and in a very short time the whole sur face affted with the ulcer, assumed an appearance indicative of healing, except a small deep spot on the ribs of her lcft side, and in a few weeks was, with that excep tion, covered with skin, having before that, for a long time, been in a condition of the most painful excoriation. In about two months after it, the rest of the cancer was healed over and to all appearance well, in taking oil the poultice from the deep spot alluded to above the core came out. accom panied by a report aimilar to that made by the uncorking a bottle of porter. From this period but a few weeks elapsed before that place also was healed ovcr. It has now been two years since the cure was ef. rected, and no symptoms as yet have oc cured, to cause apprehension of the return or the caucer. The'tea from the dock was continued for some time aftrwards. American Farmer.

Porertoyand Fruit of Intemperanre. Althu' I maitaain that poverty is the fruit of intemperance it does not necessaril , follow that poverty arises alone from it, or that at is the slightest excuse for intem perance. For many are brought to alject poverty through indiscretion or the sad misfortune of this ever changing world ; and many noble souls reieive it as theit only inheritance ; the very sound of pov erty oft sends the blood curding through the veis of many a mortal.

How many a noble boy has had his spirits damped when looking on the fond parents of his youth, now tottering under the influence of strong drink; his once hap poy home now bereft him and he depen dent on the charity of a selfish world, with the sins of tle fathiei taunted in) his ears. What can be more distressing to the phi lanthropist, as tie views the situation of the serfs, of Russia. or the slaves of our belov ed land. and the oppressed white man. be canse poverty anti ignorance hath preven tl them from using the means of self defence.
