HY     ALBERT    LBIOHIO.V,
There is a certain indescribable pathos In the
following lineta, which will remind the reader ut
Hood's "Bridge of ■ Sighs," though there fo nothing In common between the two poems BftVfl a
touching H;.diie.ss and a breathing of the ' human.1
Found dead—dead and alone;
There was nobody near, nobody near
W'vn the outcast died ou his pillow of stone—
No mother, no brother, no sista r dear,
Nut a friendly voioe to sooth or ebw r,
Not e. watching eye, or a pi tying .tear,
Found de-ad-—dead and alone
In the roofless Btreet. on a pillow of stone.
Many a weary day went- by,
(Voile wrenched and worn he begged for bread,
Tired of Life, and longing io Iia
I', ao iful down wHS the silent dead,
Hunger and cold, and scorn an I pain.
Had wasted liis form ami seared his brain,
Till at ia-t on a bed of frozen ground.
Witb a pillow of stone, was the outcast found.
Found dead—dm-id and alone
Ou a pillow ofetonc in tbe roofless etroet—
Nobody heard bis la-t  faint mo,m.
Or knew when liis sad heart ceasod to beat.
No mourner' lingered with tears or sighs,
Bui the stare looked down witb pitying eyes,
Ami tbe chill winds passed with n walling Bound
O'er the lonely Bpot where his form was found.
Found d.ad—yet not alone ;
There wan somebody near, somebody near
To claim the wanderer as bia awn,
And Bod a boms for the bo elesa here,
Oas, wben every bumau dour
l- closed to bis children, scorned ami poor,
Who opens the heavenly portal wMe :
AU! God was near When tht; outcast died.

To slew it» aspect fair ;
No dreaded change, nor dull decay,
Ar first ae aoted thera
The same old trees were oa-ting still
Their ubartows on the ground ;
The rose, the myrtle and th« vine
Were flourishing around.

He ptood within bis childhood's home ;
Despair was on his brea ;
Beneath the might of agony
His spirit seemed to bow ;
He stood there, pale and desolate.
And earth ntf longer shone—
Alias! alas! what is this >ai'th
When those we loved are gone.

A STUiDLR-SU-VNCSin  old   gentleman,' having put
i a pair of new boots, said to his friend—" What
do you think of my boots*?"' who shrewdly replied,
Sir, your boots Look very well—bttt your legs appear En thom much like a rope In a well."
A mix was lately handed iu lo the Supervisors

"What?" exclaimed the gentleman—"you as-

"No, not bo much," was still the lady's musing

— - «'»iD ui int; jiioun-
tain Jane potato. These ball-, were produced in
that #ood year f.,r potato cnltnre, 1852. In the
autumn digfrinfj of the first year, but live varieties
w?n: deemed worthy of bein,^ saved—four of
them white skinntd. and one pink eye. the skin
white with pplashes of purple. One of the white
varielies was lost tho next winter, by frost.
Thoy all suffered exceedingly by tho alrongth in
1850; but the pink eye was sti 11 promising, and
bore seed balls.
During- The past summer,   inconsequence of hot
and wet weather, the potato crop here hassulTered
very  severely  from  d sease.     The   three   whita*
sorts above notlciid giaw d'.v,u'f. were very heal th-
ful. bore balls, but the yield was too small to^be
encouraging.    The pink eye, however,  has yield.-
ed remarkatdy well.    In the case of twenty-four
hills, on a poor (rravelly loam soil, the yield was
but five pccks_ or two hundred and fifty-two ba&h-
els to the acre, plant;?*! three foct apart, each way;
but in the case of nineteen   hills, planted   in a
moist day. gravelly soil, of moderate fertility, the
yield was exactly two  bushels,   which is said to
be   equal   to   five   hundred   and   tea   busln.ds   lo
the  acre.     The yield of one of these  hills was
tavolve pounds,   and of another eleven.    The tub-
crs. in both   position*,  wero entirely sound.   But
what ia remarkable,   these potatoes, in both localities, yielded on an average about  twenty balls tc
tho  hill.    The   fall   being  damp,  as woll as the
summer, the  tubers   matured    later   than   IS.'-i
This variety,   in many n'spects,   is   the" most rc-
marfeabl-e one 1 have yet originated.    I think that
in rich, warm, gravelly loam, it could   easily   be
made to  yield  six hundred bushels   to   the acre.
Ia the case  ofthe large yield statod shore there
was no elfbrt to raise a large crop.    Tho soil  was
certainly but of moderate fertility, such as I prefer
in this climate  for potatoes    It  had,  moreover,
borne potatoes  in 1S5J-.    1 have a large family o1
young seedling.",   of all  colors  and  shapes,   but
.ber of thom strongly resembling the
-ash around it.   -.^^^__________________^_____________________________________B
Tho tree cunie down u little soouner than wc expected.     Frank   Mnhau   had    the  ft$e   lifted   fbr
antoher Mow, as it weut over with a crash.    The
v.-olf. with   bristled   back   and glaring eyes,   and
glittering teeth, leaped at  his throat with terrible
ferocity.     The   descending  axe   met  hall'   tray.
cleaving its skull and laying it dead at his feet—
We had  no time to  express our wonder and congratulations at his narrow and [singularescape,
before our attention was called to  that which filled us with   amazement if not dread.    It was  a
human skeleton, of medium size, and of a female>
hidden in the cavity ofthe tree.     Eta posture wa 1
erect, and the bones were held together by a kind
of clear integument, that seemed to cover, like a
transparent skin,  the entire  frame.     The jar  of
the  felled  tree severed several of tbo joints, and
we drow them all out and  placed them  again in
form.     The   proportions  wore   perfect    and   the
limbs straight—indicating   a   contour, when   in
flesh,  of perfect  symmetry.    Who  could   it have
been that thus perished years aco in this wild forest, and how came her death in  this stooge plae"
were queries  that were immediately Suggested.—

"Gkn-tlemkn- of the Jury,'' said the defendant^
attorney, in a suit for debt which recently "came
oil*' somewhere among the mines of California
"Gentlemen of the jury, I want to tell you ho.v_
this debt, was contracted. Het'.a is Mr, Brown, my
client, who used to go into tho store of Mr. Smith
in the evening after he had done his day's work,
Jfr. Smith, knowing he could beat him, would
him to play cards ; and when they were
through, antl he did beat him, he would charge
Mr. Brown with the article tli oy plnyed for.whether
■as ferUie drinks, or a biled shirt, or what not-
That's 'how this debt was contracted. Now, gen-
tlcnnm of the jury, ou^ht my client to pay it?
There he is. poor 'one-eyed Brown,5 a hard-worla:
ing man ; a man who earns his bread fay the sweat
of his brow; and there is Mr. Smith, picayune
Smith, got -'onc-tyed Brown' to play cards with
him, slipped up on the blind side of him and
euchercd him." By the way, a'-biled shirt," in
mining parlance, means a white one.

Last summer, Bob L— crossed   Ihe   Aliunde to
. p nd a little  time and a goo '   deal of money, in
looking  at   womeo  anfl wonder;*;   of  the world.
Among   the wonders he took along- "jiut I'or the
fun   of    the   thing.-''    was   a   small Blzad  snapping turtle.    Having a  week's leisure in London,
Bob packed up his traps and went over  to Jro-
land,    Tho first night he Riient "oa! the sod,'5 was
at a little rond-side inn, about  fifteen miles from
Dublin.    Having partaken   ofa supper of bacon
and eggr-a, Bob walked into tlio bar. and placed the
turtle on the floor.    Tlio first  one  to notice the
"critter"   was Mr. Flyrni,  who kept   the house.

of his.name."    "Will  he  fight V    "Yes, sir, nut
only light, but will whip any eight pound dog iu
Ireland."    '*Will  yon  hold me   ten   i-hillings   on
tliat ?"     "I will."     "Enough   said—Barney  get
the brindle pup wc bougt  uf Sheridan   yesterday,
and let him out."    Barney did   as  desired.    The
brindle  pup  purchased of Sheridan was brought
in. The brindle took a look at his American relation, and  then ho made a plunge.    S?ie  caught
the brindle pup by  the  nose.    The  bundle   gup
gave ono yell and put  for the door.    When lust
seen he was rushing towards Dublin  as  if he had
eight tin cullenders  tied   to his  tail.    Whether
