Agricultural Conversations. The following is a brief abstract of the discus

sions before the Franklin County Agricultural

Society, at the Monthly Meeting held at Bloom, ing Grove, April 10th 1852, reported by Geo. AChaw for the American.

Potato. ENOCH M'CARTY Esq, of Brookville tp. first

addressed the society. He remarked that the

potato is justly considered one of our most

useful productions. When a proper kind is se

lected, planted, properly cultivated, and is gathered in a sound condition, it furnishes per haps a more heal thy article of food than any other vegetable. Hence the proper cultivation of the potato is a subject truly worthy the attention

of every farmer. The first tiling to be attended

to by those who would raise a good potato, is the selection of a proper kind. There is a great

variety of seed. He had used a great many dif

ferent kinds and had given considerable nttpn

tiou to the cultivation of them, although he

could not be called a good potato raiser. The

Black Potato," or the "Shaker Blues," as some

call them, was considered by him as an excellent

with manure. He wasof opinion that the raising ' of the orange potato is the most profitable. He believed in planting the best of every thing for 1 seed. I C. F. CLARKSON, observed that he had, at .

cattle as those from which the Durham stock is

derived.

But even onr present stock, said Mr. B. may

A t;liOt Story. The following Is from the "Journal of the Heart," by the late Mrs. Darner, edited by Lady Charlotte Bury, it Is given as genuine:

A Mr. Cox commonly called jumper wox being at Lady Rother's near Oxford, was desired by her to pronounce a few Latin sentences by way of persuading herservants, who supposed the house to be haunted, that he was a conjurer, and had banished the ghost into the Red Sea.

Pray God to keep you from jealousy, Tho affections of a husband are never to be gained by complaints, reproaches, or sullen behaviour." Beauty is a captivating, but fading flower which often leads its youthful poasesvor rntv many dangeis, many distresses. Happy is it for those who are distinguished for their outward charms, that they are sheltered under the parental roof. Happy for them that the watchful eya regards them with rigid circumspection. Few

ia the early periods of life are insensible to flat' tery, or deaf to the voice of adoration. Beware of the flatterer; be not deceived by fair speeches. Be assured, the man that wishes to render you vain to your oatward charms, has a mean opin

ion of your sense and mental qualifications.

Remember too, that a young girl, vain of her

beautyand whose chief study and employment,

i. in the decoration of her person, is a most contemptible character, and that the more- yon are distinguished for the chnrmeof your face and the

graces of your form, the more you are exposed

to danger. The rose is torn from its parent stem ia the pride of beauty; jessamine isscaroely

permitted to blossom, before it is plucked; and no soonor are their beauties faded, than the mer

ciless hand which was eager to obtain them,

throws them away with contempt; whilst tho

primrose, the viokt, the lily of the valley, and the snowdrop, lass exposed to observatroir,

escape unhurt, and uninjured by tho spoiler's hand. Learn, fair daughter of beaotr, from tha Rliy to oourt the friendly shade; and from the prim rose, be convinced, that your best security may be found in retirement If you wish to be admired, be seldom seen; and if you are desirous of having a sincere lover in your train, let virtue, modesty and sweetness, be the only lores you

make us of to ensnare.

Yon may then perhaps, by youT good quali

ties, retain the heart which was at first captive

to yonr beauties, and when time has robbed you of thegrace.and innocent cheerfulness of youth,

secure a sincere and tender friend to console you

in the hours of affliction, and watch over you

when deprived of those charms that first made

him solicitous to obtain your love.

v Repine not, my yojng readers, though yonr

virtue be coneealed in a homely form. If you have secured the virloss of tho mind, yea need

notenvy others the beauties of the face. And

ye, who are decorated with outward grace, be

not vain for such fading extetnals, but tremble

est they should tempt the designing to lead you-

into error. Had you los. bcautcoue boon, you'd known 1cm can;

Lailles arc happicxt, moderately fair.

Neglect not, then, in the giddy hours of

youth, ts make your mind a fit companion for

the most lovely. Personal charms may please

for a moment; but the more lasting beauties of an improved understanding, can never tire. Wo are soon weary of looking at a picture, though

executed in a masterly style; aud she who has

only beauty to recommend her, has but little chance of meeting a lover who wHl not grow In

different to a mere portrait, particularly when

ts colors are faded by the subduing hand of time.

Then it ia that modesty and sweetness of temper are particularly observed; and the loss of beauty

will not be regretted by the man who first mado you captive.

See, lovely fair, yon blurshmg rose. All hail the beauty as it flows; Vain of her charms, she courts theevro. And soon her gaudy race is run; Obscure, in yonder pensive dale. The white robed lily of the vale: Pure emblem of the spotless maid, Adorn'd with flowers that cannot fade; Virtue, bright ornament of youth, Sincerity, unbushing truth; Through all life's seasons there will please, In all life's storm, secure heart's ease.
