self-respect, av hat cares, what donble dealing!
How,- in due season, - it will carve the 'Trunk

to change a goodly face into a mask of brass;
how- with tlie ;du'nined custom" of debt, has
lie mail become the calfons trickster! A"free
dom wf debt and what iiourishuijr sweetness

what -.ambrosial nourishment in a hard eerir.

in a thread-bare coat, if the tailor's receipt be
iii your pocket! what Tyriau purple in the
faded waistcoat, the vest not owed for! How
glossy the well-worn hat if it cover not the
aching head of a debtor! Next the home
sweets, the out-door recreation of a free man.
The street door fulls not a knell upon his heart;
the foot on the staircase, though he lives on
the third pair, sends no spasms through his
anatomy; at the rap of his door he can crow
forth "come in," and his pulse still beat health
fully, his heart sink not ill his bowels. See
him abroad. -How he returns look for look
with any passenger, how he saunters; how,
meeting an acquaintance, he stands and gossips!
But then, this man knows no debt debt,
that cast a drug into the richest wine; that
makes the food of the gods unwholesome, and
indigestible; that sprinkles the banquet of a
Lncullns with ashes, and drops soot into the
soup of an Emperor; debt, that like the moth
makes valueless furs and velvets inclosing the
wearer in a festering prison, (the shirt of
Aessus was a shirt not paid for;) debt, that
writes upon frescoed walls the handwriting of
the attorney; that puts a voice of terror in the
knocker; that makes the heart quake at the
haunted fireside; debt, that invisible demon
that walks abroad with a man, now quickening
his steps, now making him look on all sides
like a hunted b;ast, and bringing to his face
the ashy hue of death as the unconscious pas
senger looks jrlancingly upon him. Poverty is
a b tter draught, yet may and sometimes with
advantage be gulped down. Though the
drinker make wry faces, there niajr, alter all,
be a wholesome bitterness in I he cup. Put
debt, however courteously it be offered, is the
cup of the syren, aud the wine, spiced aud
delicious though it be, is poison.. The man out
of debt, though with a flaw in his jerkin, a
crack in his shoe leather, and a hole in his hat,
is still tlie son of liberty, free as the simrinir
lark above him; but the debtor, though clothed
in me uuost uravery, wnai is nc out a serf

The Court, with much dignity, replied:
"Wait until T am done!"
"And if you should find that the afore

After some deliberation, I have concluded
not to do that, but will simply say: if you find,

How the Irishman Converted the Jew. A
"rale hard sinner," a native of the Emerald
Isle, went to confession the other day to his
parish priest, and so shocked the clergyman
with a recital of his sins, that he exclaiuud
"My son, did you ever do a gOod deed in your
life?" "I did," said Pat; "I converted a Jew
once." "How was that?" inquired the confes
sor. "You sec," said Pat, "the long-nosed,
porked-aiting, murthering blaggard fell, over
board, and I put after his carcase in a bote. I
sazed him by the top-not just as he was going
down the second time, and pulled his head
above the surface, and says I, "if I savo you,
will you be a Christian?" "I won't," saj-s he
and with that I deposited his head about three
feet unther again. Pvdled him up once more
and put the question anew, "Will yoa be
n Christian?" to which he again answered "No"
gruffly.
I gave him another dip and brought him op,
miffing like a poriioise.' "Will vou be a Chris
tian now?" says I.
'Y-e-s," says he, and his
teeth were chattering for all the

says I, "yoa arc now converted, and you'd
better die" in the faith; and so saying I held
him unther until his spirit had departed." It
is about as difficult to learn what view the
priest took of this story, as it is to learn "what
became of the owl."

The old iuctliod of planting Sweet Potatoes
in hill and ridges, in this dry climate aud
on our hard upper country lands, is. all wrong.
Potatoes innst have moisture and soft earth to
do well, lint they lack both in common culture.
Hills and ridges are the driest forms in which
yon can put the soil. Flat culture is the oiily
right kind for Potatoes, or anything else, in
burning climate and on our clay upland. Po
tntoes shoufM be planted as flat, and may, in
that way be planted as easily, as corn.
First break up the laud well then lay off
rows feet wide with a shovel plow; rnn deep
in the same tract with a rooter, and then ifyoit'
want it perfect, deeper still iiithe Fame furrow
'with a common new ground coulter. 2sext,
list upon both sides of thiamin ; )he,j8ine, way;
j tnat is, wttii siiovcj, rooter mul couitcr-oe
right in the other. Lhis makes deep work, and
the deeper the better. Jt is soon done. ' Your
ground isiiiow ready deep loose and moist, and
will keep so all summer.
Xow for planting and culture. With a root
er draw a shallow furrow on the top of the list,
just over the first shove! tract, to guide you in
dropping Jn this drop the seed cut the foots,
sprouts or vine cuttings, 12 or 15 inches apart,
aud cover lightly. Plow them a fevr times,
just like corn, running close to the potatoes,
with a rooter, and finish off each working With
a cultivator, or souie other plow to keep the
middles flat.
1 his mode of culture is not one fourth
as
troublesome as hills; the crop is wonderful.
This is not theory, but is my constant practise.
1j- this mode the vines never turn yellow; the
crop comes forward early in August, and th
owner has no chance to talk about "small
potatoes." Southern Cultivator:
Tiie Wav Dennis McCanx Proposed tO
Satisfy Wmow Johnson. A son Of thd
Emerald Isle, whom we shall call Dennis 31c
C'anii, had long absented himself from the con
fessional, but a few days since he appeared
before the Priest and confessed to sundry trans
gressions. But the Priest was not satisfied,!
and something like the following dialogue
passed between thenn
Priest "Now, Dennis, I fear you have not
confessed all, so you had better not beep any
thing back, but make a clean breast of it, and
tell me all. Come, out with it."
Dennis "Well, then, ycr worship, if I must
lie after tellin' ye all about it, I sthole the
Widdcr Johnson's pig an' that's a fact, yer
worship."
Priest "That's a mighty sin, Dennis, and
you must make satisfaction to Uic widow."
Dennis "An plase yer worship. I don't
know him at all an that's r. fact, I don't."

'Make restitution, satisfy the widow

The Goon Pewjw. Proverbs' have been
called "tlifc current coin of wisdom 'mong' man
kind;" and one of these saying, which has been
coined in the mint of modern every-day society,
runs as follows: "A good fellow means good
for no-thing," Who is the good fellow? By
observing a number of the iudividnals who
have received this label in their daily inter-'
course, we have concluded that he may bo
characterized as follows: He is very demo
cratic in his tastes and habits. He never re
fuses to make an acquaintance,- however un
worthy the proposed acquaintance may be. He
is hand and glove joke and laugh 'With- loafer
and knave, equally with those persons of posi
tion who will condescend to accept him in spite
of his associations. - He will spend his last cent
with a pot companion of the meanest stamp
while his family may lack some ordinary .com'
forts at home. The idea of allowing a group
of his associates to want for anything while he"
can command a sixpence, would bp prepos
terous. But to deny his children some little
trifle for their amusemcnt'is simply a matter
of economy. He can't afford it. He would
be a menu fellow to leave bis associates before'
two and three o'clock in the mOrmn'g
straight land, sober sided home sick ninny.
But to keep a wife waiting up till those hours
to rob her of her natural rest, is an affair to
joke over when the next battle is tfneorked
To squander hundreds in dissipation among
the low and vile is liberal and generous. To
cheat the baker, the tailor and the shoemaker
out of their hard earnings is simply smart a.
standing joke with the good fellow, in short,
the good fellow is rendered a nuisance to socie
ty by being always generous before he is just -always
liberal in dissipation and miserly where"
money is really wanted always attentive to
pot companions to the neglect of his family ; and
finally, because his career generally ends by his
going to the almshouse to oc supported at the
public expense.
C3We heard a pretty good story once of aS
stage driver who had a horribly sfow fearrf
npon which the whip made no impression. A.
passcngcr who was riding-on the box took the
reins temporarily to spell him. He applied th
whip energetically for some time over the backs
and sides and legs of the horses without much
effect. mti1, by what fic considered a happ
discovery, he found a raw spot on one of them,
to which he touched the lash with great success.
" Hold on V shonfed the driver, "that's taf
raw; J established it, and I doirt allow any
body to interfere with it." -
