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 out upon a holiday a slave to be reclaimed atany iustant4yjtis owner, the creditor? 31' . cu' - ' son, if poor, see the wine run . 1, " I :nk a threadbare,' quaff its delicious beverage; th cunt iiio u:iiv wear, uuu .ichiion icuge u vime- , , - . ...

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.

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." ' a , '.''; Swrirt 1 Potato!. planting in level . 'routtaU 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." l'ricst- 'Make restitution, satisfy the widow j0y, nson.' j Dennis "An faith I don't mesilf that don't know him tt know him; its bit,- nOw , a net . that's true what I'm tell.n' ye, ycr worship."'

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." - To prevent dogs going mad in Aogtisty cat their heads off in J id
