The one, a long as he held the purse string of a Bank, could buy every negro, houses and lands which wore oflered for sale; but as soon as that was taken from him, became a bankrupt, and him ill-gotten wealth went to the funr winds of heaven. and he died in& despair. And the ther was genteelly cast out of Congrss Hall, and landed in Europe-strolling over the rinus of Riome, hunting up poems of the love and adness of an Italian poet. nntil his many thousands obtained from the Batik were spenm necessity compelled his return. taking up him [rmer avocation, and seeking his daily bread at the fag end of the bar.

Nothing m ore of importance. Your friend. B. F. GOVEDY. AGRICULTURAL. Irish Ponttoes.-As the seadou i jnst at hand for planting potntoes. a few plaits directions will not he omiss. 1. Seed. It- hai been proved by the ex perience of every one. that Irish Potaos, as far South as Georgia, materially dete. riorato after the second or third year at most, and sone of the closest obst rvers think it not afe to truit to seed grown in the-Southatall. Whythisissoweenn not explain, further than in southern lati tutes,-the best potatoes cannot he grown. It cannot he for the want of vegetahu-. or animal matter, or stimulants, or even moisture, but the hett of the san i toi great for them. The tut'ers grown here are not so large. emooth. :ry and %'ell fit vored as in the nort h. and our judgment is decided in purchasing seed from the north. 2. Time of Planting. In the Somth. it is not .One year i ten. suitable for late planting. Sone put their potatoes i'7 the ground in nuktmn, but our e pertence teaches the hest time is. the Glt dry -reather after the break of winter; or in other words the best time for planting IrIsh potatoes, is so soon as the frost issuflicient. ly out of the ground to bear working. Generally in February, there is a suitable spell; and alnost always dry weatherrai .e selected autout lite first of iMarch. 1 planting thus early. the potatoes fully -na ture. by the commencement of the hol summer drouth; while if they are put in late. they rarely support through the hiioi parching seasn. 3. Preparation of ground. On tlh; Joiat, the theories asnd practices are etad' les, and contradictory. und ito doubt suc ees ofetrattends plains which appear Ie difTer very materially. A good plan is te break the ground thoroughly to the deptil of about 8 inches, and harrow it till :ht clods are broken e the surface bcconme, smwooth.-Next I.v out rows 4 feet npari and drop the potatoe from 8 to 14 iniches asunder in the rows. It mat'mre is to he applied now is the finwe. Fresh staib dung, strnw. and litter of every kind mnj be applied with profit. If thc inrrow i completely filled. it will be the hetter. 4. Cover. by running a turn plongh or each side of the row. and thus raise a ridy o'-er thte potatues. Let thuem remain ihs cihout ten days. or till just before the sprouts come to the surface, when a bar. row sheoukl pass across the rows to drau~ down the ridge a lirtle. anid give the Souni; plants a smooth.light surtare. int which te make their appearance. This operatinr effectually destroys the young gri:s whichl often intrudes itself where it is not desirer and is, perhaps, better than any workin~ the crop receives. 5. -After Cndture. The orthtao doc trine is, that I rish potatoes shuld be work edl but once, and that about the time the plants are 6 or tI inches high. hbut, our be belief is, if the ground can be kept per fectly free from weeds, and loose, tall the season, the erop wilt be so much the bet. ier. The practice, however, of hilling tbh vines, cannot be too highly reprehended. Where the dirnt is thrown tip. the vines putt out new fibres near the surface, ant the consequence is there will be a larger qutantiay'of potatoem, but they will be smal, undt in ucint of weight there will tnt be si good a-crop as if the hilling had not beer done. 6. Barmeuting. Many persons dig al: the potatoes as soon as the vines die-..per~ https as early as June or July. but in as much as the writer Its never been success. flu! in saving potatoes dug int the summer he lets them remain in the groond till abon dhe last of October. whens thev are taket out and put in the cellar, or In heaps o about ten-bushels, and covered with eartd about a foot deep. In this way we nevel fail keepinug them, and they remain freal and good till the warm sun sprouts then in the spring.
