" May your rich soil, ' Exuberant, naturce'a better bleaainga pour O'er every land." CULTIVATION OF THE POTATO. My own experiments of eight years with the potato, have very much encouraged me to continue the alternate culture of seed and its seedlings with careful selections. The process does materially improve the potato in new and excellent varictiem health and productiveness. At the same time, much depends for success upon a proper situation and preparation ot soil, manner oi cultivation, lime oi planting, ana good storage. Good upland soil, deep, thorough plough ing, early planting, with well cultivated ap proved seedling varieties, in shallow drills, early weeding, light hilling, early lilting, and dry airy storage, does more for the re demption of the potato from disease, than all the nostrums the world can devise. Potato seed, though it produces generally several different varieties in its seedlings, will not be likely to produce varieties or qualities with which it has no connection. If new and choice varieties be expected from sowing the seed, care should be taken to obtain seed from good varieties, or in the immediate neighborhood of the same. Seed fiom the balls, will transmit from a diseased stock, in some degree, that disease to its seedlings to some varieties more than others. Some have gathered balls from anywhere, without regard to the character of the stock, planted the seed, and rinding in the seedlings disease and interior specimens, abandoned at once the experiment, and in their judg ment seedling potatoes are no better than old ones. The same laws that govern the apple, peach and strawberry, in their culture for new and choice varieties, govern also the potato. If a new choice seedling apple, pear or strawberry be desirable, why not a new and excellent potato? But neither is to be obtained without the use of their seed, and may be, not without a series of experi ments, with careful selections. Potato seed, from properly selected, well cultivated seedlings, combining through the seed the best varieties at home and from abroad, is among the most valuable seeds to be found in market. Potato seed mar be sown like the tomato, early in hot bed for an early crop ; or like cabbase, in a rich bed in a warm place, and transplanted ; or with a seed planter in the i fields, with great profit; or broadcast, on ; rich fine Soil, and lightly harrowed in, with ml.pr rultivsti.in. anil the crnn nf vounir ! h best f planting the j " o r a i next season.

From three unripe joints of the cane, about one gill ot juice was imperfectly extracted, and after having been boiled for half an hour, a table spoonful of very good molasses was obtained superior to the common grades of molasses.

The Standard sayst ' We planted some of the Chinese Sugar Cane, but we have not tried it for molasses. Wc believe we will, as Mr. Smith has done so, and pronounces the molasses superior to the common grades. " Cows and horses eat the cane with great avidity, evidently preferring it to any thing else ; and we noticed, in cutting it up, that the cane thus prepared was literally wet with the juice. We cut ours down, with the exception of a few stalks for seed ; and we notice fresh and vigorous shoots coming up from the old stalks. It will no doubt thus make two crops." SONG FOR THINKERS.

Very unlike this was Iter friend, Mrs, Pease. Her manners were not unladylike, and her conversation was pleasing and intel ligent; but her mould was very dtrlerent from her friend's, who, perhaps, was not unaware of the marked contrast between them, for Mrs. Pease's figure was large, heavy, and inelegant, I do not believe she could have committed a graceful action; and while Mrs. Garrett's taste in dress was exquisite, Mrs. Pease's sense of fitness of arrangement and harmony ofcalor was remarkably obtuse. But just before tea, a circumstance occur red which materially affected our relative es timates of the ladies. Mrs. Winters, another of our nci"rhbnr, called to see us. She was a pretty, rather characterless, and on the whole, well-mean ing sort of a woman, who lived in a very flashing style, and was very anxious to ignore her early life, which was obscure. Hut then, we all have our weakness; and it Mrs. Win- furs lurlrAfl mnral nniiianr n fills mnttor most likely you and I do fri suine other, rea der. I observed that our new guest seemed a little embarrassed when 1 presented her to the others, and partly divined the cause, when they spoke of being natives of the same town. " You hare, however, altered much ; I should hardly recognize ynu, Mrs. Winters," remarked Mrs. Garrett, in the course of their conversation. " But you know we used to meet almost every afternoon, as you returned from the factory and I from school." Her voice was very low and soft, but it seemed to me there was a little consciousness in the smile that curved the lips of (he lady, while Mrs. Winters' face changed suddenly to crim son, as she stammered some incoherent re ply. . . Mrs. Pease inturrupted Iter suddenly, and very earnestly: "I, too, remember you, Mrs. Winters, because of those delightful visits we used to have together at your uncle, the Colonel's. You know he was the lion ol our town, and then my father thought so much of him." Mrs. Winters' face beamed with smiles, as she turned it toward Mr. Pease, but I doubt whether the felt so happy as that lady just then. Well, Sarah," remarked Mrs. Garrett, while we were at supper, " I always thought you hadn't the slightest leaven of art in your nature. Rut I really doubted it when you mule that very effective rprech to Mrs. Winters." " DiJ you, Annie? Well, I couldn't help feeling very snrry for her when you alluded to he factory life. Hie wishes to forget her antecedents, ami if we cannot respect her motive, we certainly should her feeling." " I don't agree with you, Sarah." The elegant lady was evidently a little disturbed. "It people are so wrak as to be ashamed of their antecedents, ihry eheuld be exposetl and mortified.

A Lelptic paper jut received mentions the following incident as having occurred in New Orleans : A Frenchman, lately arrived, went into a restaurant and called for a glass of beer. As the boy brought it, s tall man, unknown to him, who had eyed the Frenchman rather insolently on his entrance, snatched the glass from the table and drank it oft. " (have not the honor of your acquaintance, sir,' renni ked the Frenchman, surprised at the familiarity, Nor I of yours," retorted the other. You are seekingaqusrrcl with me, then !' " 1 should be sorry to leave you in doubt of the fact," was the insolent response. " Look you, sir," said the new comer i I am a man of peace, and mind my own busi ness, i meiiuie with none, and I receive no unprovoked insults. I pass yours by for this time. Boy, bring me another glass !" The Creole broke into taunting laughter. and when the second glass was brought, step- peu up and seized it, urann part ot the con tents, ami threw the remainder away. The Frenchman would have rushed upon him, but was held back by the bystanders. "Hold sir!" they cried, "or you are lost! If he does not kill you on the spot, he jvill in tha duel; for he is the most skilful duelist In Louisiana. With pistol, or rifle, or with the sword, he is unequalled. He has killed thirty-four men, and wounded over sixty more." " What you tell me," replied the French man, " convinces me the more that he ought to be dealt with." He then drew near the man who had insul ted him ami said-" Sir, I happen to be in a particularly good humor to-day, and am not disposed to take offence. You have taken away two glasses of beer I had ordered ; it ia now my turn, and I hope my forbearance may teach vou better behaviour. Boy another glass f" The boy brought it, trembling, as if antt- : cipating a catastrophe. Scarcely had he placed it on the table, when the bully again seized it, and tossed off its contents. At the same instant, lake a tiger on his prey, the Frenchman threw himself on his enemy, and assailed him in the fuce, breast, and tide, with a tempest of blows and kicks. The bul ly, who had not time to recover himself, was soon stretched on the floor, and pommelled, tiII,moi e unmercifully till bleeding and quite insensible. The victor then quietly drew forth his pocket book, took out a card, ami pinned it to the vest of his prostrate foe. He then said to the spectators of the a (Tray t "If there is present any friend of this in dividual, I would inform him that be may find me at my lodgings every morning from eight to eleven. Hoc, another glass of beer!" This time he took the glass, ami draok it ofT composedly. Then, paying for the four glasses, he turned and left the place, amid the wonder of all the company. As they lilted the vanquished buiiy, it was .found that two oi his ribs were brokeu, and j one of his eyes was seriously damaged. The 1 card bore the inscription :" Luciax Pcur, Fencing Master, from Paris will give in I atruction in fencine. boxinzand in the vari- methods of lighting. Terms moderate." Some sig weeks after this scene the door of M. Petit' apartment was flung open, one morning, and a man strode in without an nouncement. "Do you know me? he cried, in a voice choked with rage.
