Potato**. S. B. Johnson, of Madison County, N. Y., gives the result of his experi ments with potatoes. He says the Early Bose is ten days earlier than any variety he is acquainted with. It is very productive, and good for summer winter, and spring. He says care should be tsken in selecting good shaped, well ripened tnbers for planting. This is of more oonseqnenoe than the size of the potato. Cut large, fair potatoes into one-eyed pieoes, taking oare to have eqoal portions of the potato with each eye. Very small tnbers may be quartered. Plant in hills or drills; in hills t}|ree and a half feet each way, but on rich land they may be planted muob oIBser in drills. Cover with plow or hoe' three ihches deep, and as soon as the plant appears go over the ground with a two-horse harrow: when three inches high run a horse diamond plow close to Jhe hills each way, throwing the earth from them. When six inches high throw the soil back to the hills with a larger plow. <As soon as the po tatoes begin to bloom the ground should be left undisturbed and the large weeds should be pulled out by hand. ? Hliiti on Chvrnlnf. During the prooess of ohurning a certain uniformity of temperature moat be observed or the butter will bo soft and spongy, instead of being firm and ocmpaot. The agitation, also, of tbe cream should be regular?neither too qniok nor too slow. II the agitation is too quiok the butter will make and un make itself belore the churner is aware of it, as too rapid motion induoes fer mentation, which, when it has reaohed a oertsin point, is entirely destructive of anything like the-possibility of mak ing eren moderately good or well tasting butter. If, on the other hand, the motion be too slow, the agitators in I the ohurn fail to produce the desired separation of the oomponent parts of the oream, and the oonsequenoe is that after ? good deal of time spent in lazy action, the churner is just as far from his bntter as he was at the beginning of his labors. The best temparature for the eream in ohuming is from 50 deg. to 60 deg. CoaMnctlon of a Piggery. The hog thrives better in the sunlight than ill the Hark ; and for the' health of animals your piggery should be as light as your own living room. If any class of men ought to be indicted for cruelty to animals it is that olass who do not provide light stables for their horses, oattle, sheep, and swine. Be sides, if such men would stop and think they will know that it will profit them as much to furnish light as it will harm Hie animal to be depriyed of it. A BoKl Robbery, A trading steamboat belonging to He tehes merchants was lying tied up to *<ttnk one evening after an unusually | trip, preparatory to starting If. It was not regarded as an ""ocourrenoe that fire strangers pping in st intervals to take It is true there was a remork nniformity abont them, almoet as " Jove as the blue army orerooate Mm absenee of masks which mark the highwaymen of Little Book. ?Al handsome, all well flress ' " looking, and it was parti on larly -thoughtful that they all wore new boots. r0m$90im array of eoinoidenoes used no flutter of ess Louisiana bo ed to be perfect oondnoted themselves aad deoorum, and nothing apparently mty ana their dis dothes to Nft * toly as lit ? The Sacred JaKitan ?f Slam. A* By* WMnmw^ Sum of Tk?lr . ..-. TwimUM.] A latter writer in Siam who al lowed to witness the tricks of " tha Sacred Troop of Jugglsn - attached to ? pagoda, thus describes what ha aaw: The place in which the oeremonies were held was a square vault, so lofty that I oould not see the oeiling, and I ?hnnH aaj not leas than a handed pacee long and wide. All aroond tha sides roee gig+ntic oolnmns, oarred into Imagea of Boodha always, ret with a thousand variations from the oentral plan, a thousand freaks of fancy, a thousand grotesqueaiee, through which shone, %he more effectively for the departures, the eternal calm, the stagnant unper turbed eostaoy of apathy of Boodna's remarkable faoe, with the great pendant ears, and the eyes looking sut beyond ?on into the supreme -wfttfuln^sa of Nieban?s faoe that onoe 'seen can nev er be forgotten. By degrees I came to see the plan of this evidently subterranean vault, and to look with wonder upon the simple grandeur of its msssive architecture, which was severely plain, exoept so far as the carving of the great oolnmns went. At the furthest end of tho hall, resting against the oolumas, was a raised dais or platform, covered with red cloth. This stage was raised be tween three and four feet above the floor of the vault, and was about thirty flve or forty feet deep and one hundred and fifty broad. Behind it a^irtain of red cloth hung down from the capitals of the towering columns. In front of the stage, just about the spot wh< re the pulpit of the orchestra in a Greek the atre would be, was a tripod-shaped altar, with a broad oenser upon it, in which was burning a scented oil, mixed with gums and aromatic woods that diffused through the whole vault a pun gent, sacramentel oder. Suddenly there was a wild and start ling crash of barbario music from under the stage?gongB, drums, cymbals, and horns?and with wonderful alertness and a really indescribable effect a band of naked men came out from behind the curtains, bearing each a scented toroh in his hand, climbed the oolnmns with the agility of monkeys, and lighted each a hundred lamps, strung from the base almost of the columns sheer up to the apex of the vault, which, I could now see, rose in a lofty dome, that doubtless pierced far up into the interior of the pagoda proper, the appearance of which outside I have described. The illumi nation from these multitudinous lamps was very bright and brilliant, too soft to be dazzling or overpowering, yet so j penetrating and pervasive that one missed nothing of the perf^l^ight of the day. I oould distinctl^^Btee the ascending and diminishing rings of ihe cupola above us, and the rows of brick work, only thinly whitewashed, that supported it. The din of the homble orchestra in creased, and the band of old women came out from under the stage singing (or rather shrieking out) the most dia bolical chant that I ever heard. The red curtain fluttered a little, there was a dull thud, and there, right before us, alongside the censer, stood a very old man, but wrinkled, with long hair and beard white as ootton fleece. His finger nails were several inches long, and his sunken jaws were horribly diversified with two long teeth, yellow andogreish. He was naked, exoept for a breech cloth, and hin shrunken muscles shone with oil. He took the oenser in his hand and blew his breath into it until the flame rose twenty feet high, red and furiona; then, with a sudden jerk ing motion, he tossed the burning oil towards the crowd of squatting specta tors. It shot towards them a broad sheet of terrible flame?it descended upon them a shower of roses and ja ponioas, more than oould have been gathered in a cart. Turning the censer ottom upward, he spun it for a minute upon the point of his long thumb nail, then flung it disdainfully toward the audience. It struok the pavement with a metallio olang, bounoed, and rose, with sudden expanse of ?ings,a shriek ing eagle, frightened horribly, and seeking flight towards the summit of the dome. The old man gazed a mo ment upwards, then, seizing the tripod upon which the cense"* baa stood, he sent its legs apart with a nervous hand, straightened them a gainst his knee, and hurled their, dart-like, towards the J^oy glancod upward with a gilded Hash, a id instantly the eagle came fluttering down to the pavoment in onr midst, de*d, and three horrible cobras coiled about him, and lifting their hooded h'-fla defiantly, and flash ing anger out <>f t leir glittering eyes. The musio sin ? ked still wilder, the snakes coiled and plaited themselves together in a rhythmic danoe, lifting the dead eagle npon their heads, and presto I right in our midst there stood the tripod again, with its flickering flame, and it* inoense-savored breath.

The new games, the new blocks, the new toys and p iota res, Mid the happy stories of the Christmas delights to be rehearsed with eager interest, would give occupa tion. So I knew the little party were best left to their own sweet devices. Two good hours passed while I plied my needle in another room?no jnore penetrating sound rsaohing me from that quarter than now and then a peal of merry child- laughter. There ^a? ? sense of peace all through the house, when suddenly my ears were smitten with a loud and bitter wail of " I'want to go home! I want to see my mamma!" I arose, dismayed, to go to the rescue, meeting my own little girl flying towards me on the wsy, her faoe pale and anxious, and " Oh, mamma, oome ! Lou is crying so 1" There was the lit tle group in the nursery, sll subdued and sorrowful, gathered around the heart-broken six-year-old darling, who stood all shaken with sobs, with bright eyes overflowing, snd little trembling hands trying to fasten the ooat and tip pet. I took her in my arms and tried to kiss her into oo^fort; but nothing would do, in tms bitter extremity, but her own mamma, and the sobs and tears burst out afresh. ?' Why, what is it, Lou ? what is it, darling?" Still only "I want to see my mamma !" ?? Has anybody been unkind to you, Lqu ?" I asked, fearing that some quick word had wounded the sensitive fife art. " No, no P " Haven't you been having a good time ? Were you playing ?" " No. Nannie was reading. Oh, I want to go home." So, puzzled and distressed, I fastened the warm wraps, and let her go. Then my little daughter put her arms about my neck and said: "Mamma, I read Buch a dreadful, pitiful story; and it was that. Lou couldn t bear it. I wouldn't have read it if I had known what was coming. It was in one of my Christmas books." " Why, what was the story ?" I asked. "It waa-about a roor little girl burned to death; and there was another about a mamma who died, and the papa didn't lo\e the baby." " Did nobody cry but Lou ?" Then the chorus said, "We didn't cry," but said one, " It has made suoh an ache here "?putting her hand cn her baby heart. And another spoke of a bad feeling in the throat, and another was still with lips all a-tremble, and all the little faces were dim with trouble. So I took away the cruel book, sent my boy out doors in the snow storm with his shovel, and suggested for the little girls a good game of housekeeping." And so the roses came back. That night before the bed-time I took the book with the pretty binding, the burning taper on the oover, and the graceful poem on its title-page dedica ting all " To my daughter Florence^" and asked my littl^ girl to show me the sorrowful story. So I was pointed to " A Child's Tragedy." I read it with quivering nerves? tue horror of a fiery death to a golden haired baby girl, drawn with graphic pen. Nothing spared?neither the tor ture of the slow death, nor the father's agony, nor the mother's overwhelming grief. I felt hot with indignation that I had been botrayed into putting such a story into the sensitive hearts of my ohildren. The book was a present from a kind friend, who surely only meant to give a pleasure ; and the fact that the writer was a lady of culture, and a mother, had disarmed me of any usual suspi cious supervision, and in the Christmas pressure I had trusted it unread. I oould only say to my little ones, "I am sorry you have read this. Try not to think of it." Nannie said. "It is more like a ?nightmare,' I think, than a 4 bed time ' story." And Alfred's great eyes put on a far away sad look as he said: "The tvor?t was when he burst out with sack love *i referring, I suppose, to the father's ter rible grief. I do not believe in leaving children's hearts unmoved by sympathy with the ordinary sufferings and troubles of life. I Would educate them into a keen per oeptiou of a life outside their own aaeitered affection*. I would have them know the joj of giving, not only the gifts that pass from hand to hand, ; but the tender sympathiet from heart to heart. Bat a? long as may be I 1 would screen them from a knowledge of j all the possible anguish that the world holds?from the horrors of violent 1 death, and from stories of orime and unusual suffering. No one should put before the child puhlio any story book who has not him self or herself paused through a sensi tive ohildhood, and kept the memories fresh. Think of that bed-time honr, or rather the hour after bed-time, when the little heart should drop asleep hnshed with father's or mother's kiss, and pretty memories of play, or tender imaginings of beantifu (things. Then think of breaking into this holy land of dreamy th ought with a vision of sudden death?a sweep of Are and of horror the picture at a desolate home?a cruel parent?or a hopeless sin- . In lutnro years a knowledge of such things may and must come to our darlings. Let us make thun brave and strong, and unselfish if we nan, to aaeelr whatever oomes ; but there is no help ing influeooe in putting into childish hearts " nightmareM piotuma of dread ful things tney oould not else discover.

Whan the time for the settlement of tbe ques tion of partial extermination for the benefit of the raoe, or total extremina tion bv starvation, oan no longer be delayed, they sasemble in oonntleee thousands in some of the mountain val leys leading into the plains, and, the rast army of exiles being selected, they pour serves the country in s straight line, a living stream, often exceeding a mile in length and many yards in breadth, devouring every green thing in their line of march, the oountry over which they have passed looking as if it had been plowed or burned with fire. They march principally by night and in the morning, resting during the dsy, but never seek to settle in any particu lar locality, however abundant food msy be in it, for their final destination is the distant sea, and nothing snimate or inanimate, if it oan be surmounted, re tards the straight onward tide of their advance. Foxes, lynxee, weasels, kitee, owls, etc., hover on their line of and dee troy them in hundreds. The fish in the rivers and lakes lay. a heavy toll upon them, and vast numbers are drowned and die by other accidents in " flood and field but the survivors, impelled by some irresistible imst*nct, press onward wilh no thought of stop ping, until they lose themselves in the nes, sinking in vits depths as they be come exhausted, in such numbers that for miles their bodies, thrown up by the tide, lie putrefying on the shore.? Temple Bar. The Liquor Question. It is understood that a band of pray ing women is organizing in this city, says the New York Graphic, for an attack on the liquor dealers. Now these women ought not to commit the mis tske of confining their operatioos to the poor who keep the corner groceries. Let them begin with the clubs?the places where their husbands and sons gratify their drinking propensities. Ther*? are the Union League, the Man hattan, the Union, the Lotos, the Cen tury, and the Arcadian clubs. In these clubs the bat-tender has a busy life, and the sound of the popping cham pagne cork is constantly heard. They are frequented not only by the men whose wives and mothers are contem plating a temperance orusade, but by editors who conduct the organs of pub lio opinion. It is at the olub-bouses, or in front of them, that the first temper anoe prayer-meetings should be held. When these have been purified it will be time to attack the hotels and res taurants. To begin and end with the corner grog-shops would be a fatal error, and would at once be construed as an attack on the poor man's whisky, while the rich man is suffered to drink his brandy and soda and his champagne cock-tails unmolested. Nil Desperandum. A real healthy man or woman, is a rarity; and what wonder? when we realize that it is the custom to overload the stomach, and then produoc chronic disease by the use of spirituous liquors, " Tonics," " Appetizers," " Restora tives," etc. Haying first produced disease by indiscretion, the victim wonders why "nothing does him good," Just so ; and the reason is that they all, or nearly all, find a basis in alcohol ?or poison. To all thus disoonraged, we can conscientiously say, " make one j more trial." Discard spirituous medi I cines, and give nature a chance, aiding i her in the atrnggle by using one of her I own pure and unadulterated herb reme dies, in the shape of Vinegar Bitters.
