?RILMIvD FRO TH SPANISH. THE ASS AN THE FLUTE. You must know that this ditty, This little romance, Be it dull, be It wity, Arose from mere chance. Near a certain inelosure, Not far from my manse, An ass, with composure, Was passing by chance. As he went along prying, With sober advance, . A-shepherd's flute lying, He found there by chance. Our ameteur started And eyed it askance, Drew nearer, and snorted Upon it by chance. The breath of the brute, Sir, Drew music for once; It entered the flute, Sir, And blew it by chance. "Ah I" cried he, in wonder, "How comes this to pass? Who will now dare to slander The skill of an ass!" And asses in plenty I see at a glance, Who, one time in twenty, Succeed by mere chance. sweet Potatoes. W? give this week a mode of cultiva. ting sweet potatoes, which the writer pro nounces a very successful one. This may be true ; our principal object however, is to call attention to the matter, as be ing by no Aoeans an unimportant part of every farmer's business, and to elicit if possible, s6mething exactly suited to us here at home, in the cultivation of this important article of diet. There are men in Edgefleld, who make as good crops of this useful and nutritious root, as the World can show; and, to judge from some specimens we saw purchased in our mar. ket a few days ago, they also understand to perfection the art of preserving them when made. We hope some such person will give us a plain, simple and direct ac count .of this mode of proceeding. It 'will be thankfully received, and may be useful to many others besides ourselves. -[ED. ADv. From the Southern Planter. Mr. EDrrOR:-In compliance with my promise ind your request, I will now try to lay before your readers my mode of raising-potatoes, and shall do it in as few iaods ai'pos'sible; it will be, however, necessary. to be -explicity to hefullyt un deistpod,. and most especially in these dasof~wild ~ho~ ~without experience. it Zi~s i~srm college, ipd is w1dselled in language and woul dis dami i kalinfornoaion of an experienced farmhdr because he sometimes has come for ciine addourn for yours, or hoss for horse, and so on, yet experience and prac tice~ often costs a gentle smile, and says hej}aid dear, very dear for his whistle. Aind now~ to-the subject. Ist. The land must be light or sandy, and~it will be much better to take poor -Iland and make it rich. The great ad. vantage will be less vines and more roots, Secondly. The land should be well plowed eight or ten inches deep. The plowving should be done the first of March, and shoulid be ploughed over, if possible, after every rain, say once in twvo weeks ; and always plough the same wvay. When the time has arrived for planting, make a nic~e four furrow bed. After the 1st bed, run the beam of the plough next to the bed, leaving a small stripe for the third furrow. In this way you will have no] need of stakes. Never bed the land until you have a season. As soon as the plough starts, start your hoes to hilling. The rows and hills should be about threei feet apart. If the day is cloudy it is best to iset the plants as the hills are made ; if not, let the hilla remain until late in the evening; then, with the hand, knock off all the dry dust, open the top wvith the hand four inches, set the sprout straight, press the dirt to the roots; he careful that no leaves are covered. The planting being over, in ten days, should there be rain, the hills should be scraped down, say to thme depth of one inch. Hills are often chopped down, and the roots left exposed, causing a failure of the crop. After the scraping is over and the time for hilling, which will be in two or three weeks, run the plough twice in each rowv, 'which will make fine dirt, and a hand can hill three times as many. This having been~accomplished, a third hoeing, which I call scraping up, is to be done, and this should take place when the runners are about to meet, or sooner if there should be grass. It will be rememibered there is no grass to remain on the top of the hill. The work is done. I dig wvith a hoe. A hand shouldLdig thirty bushels per day. I have assumed the position that potatoes are raised from the sprout, and perhaps it may benefit some to give the mode. Have the bed in a southern exposure ; dig out a place in the form, of a ditch, eighteen inches deep; take the manure fresh from the stable and as clear of straw and stalks as possible ; pack it down hard and smooth to the depth of twvelve inches; then cover it one inch deep with very rich light dirt ; place the potatoes on the dirt, so as they wvill not touch each other, then cover with light rich dirt three inches; make all per. fectly level and the work is complete. In the manner above described 1 have raised1 lag quantities for Baltimore and Fred rosburg markets, and it is no hard job to raise three hundred bushels per acre, en il soil. T have kept an account oMe(io~oalde for tuwelve years, and theyhave averaged over fifty cents per busheL. One or two words more, Mr. Editor, and I have done. There is no dAubt somaem il a if all tisi is to bo ddne, I will raise potatoes. Be it so there is no gains without pains, and so farewell. NoRTH UMBEeRLAND. Quines Gra. Now as to the Guinea grass. Althougl I have been cultivating it only about si: years, I have been acquainted with it sinc the year 1827, and was probably the fire person that brought it to this state. 1 the summer of 1830, I brought a buncl of this grass, in a box, from Matanza to Mobile and gave it to my friend DA Casey, who told me the next spring h had planted it in his garden, and had thei a fine patch of it. When it was first brought into thi neighborhood, some- eight or ten year ago, I suppose it came from Dr. Casey' stock in Mobile, but being informed tha it came from Virginia, I doubted the gen uineness of it, believing that it would no grow in climates so far north. But th very moment I saw it, I recognised it, an without pretending to be a botanist, I an very certain that the Guinea grass whiel we are now cultivating, is identical wit the Guinea grass of the West Indies. For hay, I do not think it by any mean equal to the herds grass, but for soilin or feeding it in a green state, I know c no grass comparable to it. It may be c in our climate four or five times durin the season, and if cut before going t seed, there is no grass of which horse and cattle are fonder. I became acquainted with this grass i the Island of Cuba, where I spent sever months in the winter and spring of 182 It was growing on almost every suga and coffee estate that I visited on the i! land, and was universally spoken of a their best dependence for the sustenanc of horses and cattle. Indeed its intrc duction there was regarded as an era i their agricultural history. In that climate of perpetual verdun it can be cut every month of the yeai and in addition to its intrinsic value a food, it is there extensively used for o1 namental purposes. In the long avenue intersecting the beautiful coffee estates shaded with several rows of trees, it 1 very common to see a row of the Guine grass on each side of the cleanly swel walks, growing luxuriently, and triminec with great exactness, to a given widtl extending from one side to the other c the avenue. When these rows of gras attain a certain height, they are all e down at the same time and given to th stock, thus, combining utility with orna ment. I understand objections are urged, ii our climate, against the Guinea grass o1 account of the difficulty of getting rid o it when once set out. I have never hear this objection to it in the West Indiei but. from my own knowledge of it, I an inclined to think, if it becomes well sei it will be very likely to maintain its pc sition with great firmness, and will suffe no intruder,.such as the-broom, to elbrn it out. To this roprtv. I am not inclin~ ed seriouslyfo object, for in this climats it is very certain it cannot be propagate from the seeds, and the process of exten sion from the roots must be slow, and wvould recommend that it should never bi planted where it is not intended to remair Yours very respectfully SAMUEL PICKENs. Dig~ Deep and you'll find Treasure. We commend the following anecdot< to the particular consideration of thosi who are yet addicted to the practice o shallow ploughing, and who think n< good comes from deep stirring of the soil By adopting the practice of deep plough ing, a new source of wealth wvould be apened on many farms, which the skin sing culture of a century or twvo ha: ever developed. But to the anecdote which, though old, is just as good as ifi were " bran new:" " An old farmer, on his death bed, tok is sons, who were not very industrious ads, that he had deeply buried his mone' a a particular field, which was the mos marren land on his farm. Ini consequenet >f this information, soon after the ok nan's death the sons began to dig (ant ;hey dug deeply too) all over the field md this they did again and again, for i was long before they quite despaired o: finding the money. A t length, howevei hey gave up the search, and the land wa' planted with corn ; when, from the dee1 igging, pulverization and clearing wvhiel it had received in the search for the mo ey, it produced a crop which was indeet m treasure." It might result to the profit of some o: aur farmer's sons, should they imagine ;heir fathers had deeply buried a bag of dol ars in some barren field, and be led tc lg in search of the treasure-and thougl hey might not find the expected wealth heir exertions would be amply rewvarded es is illustrated ini the anecdote. In further evidence of the great utility f deep plowing, we copy the following aragraph from the Report of the Hon El. L. Ellsworth. " Few individuals are aware of the cx. ension of roots in pulverized soil. Vor hayer mentions finding roots of sanfoir 'rom 10 to 15 feet deep in the ground. [here are nowv in the . National Gallery orn roots taken from one side of a hill fcorn laid bare by the freshet, and pre. ented by the Hon. J. S. Skinner to the Iational Gallery.

[ have caused the roots to be measured; he aggregate length of roots in the hill, s, by Mr. Skinners estimate, over 8000 eet. Trho spe-eimen alluded to, is open ~or examination.

A delightful beverage is lemonade, pro. perly mingled and cooled with ice. It has-made many a man wish that his neck 3 were as long as a crane's for the time t being, and, we may add, with a palate every two inches throughout. Sometimes it is true, a sudden compunction seizes one after imbibing two parts of a glass, and a pretended cramp of the stomach demands that the rest 'be tempered with something a leetle warmer, merely to pre vent unpleasant consequences. Still it is a only lemonadc. Oh, Lemonade! how t much sly tippling is carried on under thy name! Here is an instance of a sancti t fled Quaker's attempt to perpetrate this 1 outrage upon thy chastity. I A SLY DAsH AT THE CRITTER." One of our subscribers, says the Rhode 1 Island Republican, who happened to be in Newport last summer, got down into 9 the bar room at a very early hour, when there was nobody but a boy in atten f dance, when lo! who should come in first t but a tall, well-dressed Quaker gentle. 7 man, who had been attracted thither by > the "yearly conference." The Friend s looked about for a moment, and then turning to the boy, inquired i "Boy, does thee make any lemonade I 1 "Certainly, sir-a great deal." . "Well, make me a glass. Take that r largest tumbler." Boy mixes ingredients, and pours in s water about half full. a "Stop-leave a vacancy. Has thee - any old French brandy ?" i "Yes, sir." " Well, pour thee till I tell thee to stop.' , The boy done so. , "Stop!" exclaimed the Quaker, in due s time. "Has thee any good Jamaica rum?" 5 "No, sir." - "Any Santa CruzI" S "Yes." , "Well, pour till I tell thee stop." t It was done, and the boy mixed the , contents of the tumbler, which was brim ful, in the usual mode, our Quaker friend f raised it to his lips, and poured down in one continuous stream the whole "ar t rangement." without the interruption of a breath. Then, with a look of satisfac. tion to the inner man, which on such oc casions, is seen but not described, he sat down his glass, and inquired what was to pay. He paid, and turned to go away, but stopped as if he had forgotten some I thing, just as he reached the door, and casting an eye to the fountain of refresh. ments from which he had imbibed the ex hilirating beverage, he exclaimed "Lad, thee's a very small boy, but thee does make a gr-gr-great lemonade!I Tzsor~oaren.-Mr. Jas. Rees, a well 7known street preaclisi' iiCintrennati; was accosted by a would-be wag the other day, asnd questioned as follows: " Do you believe what the Bible says about the prodigal son and the fatted calf I" " Certainly I do." " Well, can you tell me whether the calf that was killed wvas a male or fe male calf 1" "Yes, it wvas a female calf." " How do you know that 1" C" Because," said Beardy, looking the chap in the face, " I see the male is alive now." "WIFE," said a broker, a few day since, "do you ever think I shall be worth fifty thousand dollars?' " Ain't I worth that to you I" said the confiding spouse. " Y-e-s," hesitatingly replied the other half "but I can't put you out at interest." AN HONEST HIBERNIAN had come far to see Niagara, and, while he gazed upon it, a frienid asked him if it wvas not the most wonderful thing he had ever seen to wvhich he replied: "Never a bit, man-never a bit. Sure, it's no wvonther at all that the wvather should fall down there, for l'd like to know what could hinther it, but it's mighty quare, though I'm thinking, bow the mischief it ever got up."

J. E. MAasua,,-Dear Sir: In compli ance with your request, I make this simple state ment of facts. My boy Daniel stuck a thorn in his foot about the first of last June, the thorn was extracted, and no more thought of it for 15 or 20 days, his foot then began to swell, and in a few days it was opened. It discharged a large quantity of matter. The discharge continued for eight days, and then eeased. His foot then re-commenced swelling and extended up his leg, thigh, and hip, with violent pain. He then be gan to spit from his lungs matter similar to that discharged from the abscess on his foot. I then called in medical aid, and from the remedies used, he was alternately better and worse for eight or ten weeks. During this time a large abscess formed upon the hip, the discharge was large, and as soon as it ceased, a general swelling of his leg, thigh and breast commenced, which was very hard to the touch, and at times experienced much difficulty in swallowing. Medical aid seemed of no further avail, and was discontinued. I then had recourse to your "Magical Pain Eradicator." In forty-eight hours, from the time I commenced its use, his foot began to soften ; the swelling on his hip and breast subsided, and I am pleased to say he is now well. I again used your remedy in a case of Neu ralgia, with great success, giving immediate re lief. I have tried it also for Tooth-Ache, with my youngest child, with entire success.
