stars stood out in the sty, and looked I down on a child who in a thoughtful I mood was sitting at a cottage door. lie! was looking up at the stars, and counting | them, as they came, till they were too: many to be numbered, ami his eyes waudered over all the heavens, watching the bright worlds above, tlis mother called to him and said: “My sou, what arc you ; thinking of?'* lie started ss if suddenly j around front sleep, ami answered her: “Ohr said he, and his little eyes spark-! led with the thought, “I want to bdl an angel. Heaven is up*there, is it net mother? arid there is where the angola live rind love God, and arc happy; I do wish I was pood, and God would take mo there, and let me wait on him forever.” The mother .called him to her knee, ami he leaned oh'her bosom arid wept. She wept, too, and smoothed the soft hair of his head as he stood, and kissed his forehead, and thou told him if he would givo his heart to God how while he ri-as young, that the Saviour would forgive his Kiris, and fake him to wait on him for cYcr. His young heart wes comforted. Hie mother took the child to his chamber and sodn he was asleep, drfeuming, perhaps, of angels and heaven! . Alas! but a few months past, and. he wAs laid in his last resting-place. And as the grave closed O'er the fnir-loved form of that sweet boy, she said:

Night in Sweden.

I’rotfestfinifsiii nud Rornnnlam,

There Is nothing that strikes the stronger more forcibly, if ho visits Sweden at the season of the year when the days are the longest, than the absence of night. Dr. Baird tells us that he had no conception of the effect produced, before his arrival at Stockholm, five hundred miles from Gottcnburg. He arrived in the morning, and in the afternoon wont to sec some friends. lie had not taken notes of time, and relumed about night; it was as light as it is here half an hour before sen-down. You see distinctly. But all ms quiet in the streets, it seemed as if the inhabitants had gone away—-no sips of life—the [shops closed. , i The sun in June gees down in Stockholm at n little before ten o’clock. There [is a great illumination*all night, ns the sun passes round the earth towards the North Pole; and-the refraction of its rays is such that you can sec to read,at midnight without artificial light There Is a' mountain at the head of the Bothnia, where, on tho 21st of Jane, the sun docs not go down at all. Travelers go there to see it. A steam-boat goca up from Stockholm for the purpose of carrying those who arc curious to witness this great phenomenon.’ It occurs only one night. When the sun gOca down to the horizon; you can see the whole face of it, and in five minutes it begins to rise. At the KorthGnpc in laliludo.72 deg., the smi docs hot go down for several weeks. Iii June it would.be about .25 deg. above the horison. Tire way the the people there know it is midnight, is—they see the sun rise. The changes in these latitudes frOm summer to winter arc so great, that wo.canhave no conception of them at nil. In the winter time the sun disappears, and is hot seen for weeks.. Then it comes and shows its face. AUcriVanls it remains for ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes, and then descends; and finally itdees not sot at all, but makes.almost a circle around the heavens. Dr. Baird was asked how they managed in regard to hired persons, and what "was considered aday, He Could not say, but supposed they worked by the hour—and twelve, hours would he considered a day’J: work.. , •• ■ Birds and animals take their acchstomcd rest at the uwial. hons. Tlie doctor did'not know how they learned the time —but they had; and go to rest whether the sun goes. dowh or not. The first morning Dr. Bain! Awoke in t Stockholm, he was shrprised tp.kao the; into his room; ~ He IriokeJ at hfli Writch; and found it was only three o’clock! — The next time he awoke it was five b’cldek; hut there were .no persons in the Street. The Swecds in the cities Are nOt very industrious; owing probably to the climate.

Early lifting and storing of Potatoes is now considered the better plan since tho prevalence of disease. They should be taken nhoct as soon as the haulm or tops are dry and separate rtadily from the tubers, and put into small pits.—It is difficult to say why It is that Potatoes will hot keep in large heaps or pita. Fifteen or years ago, let the heaps be formed ever so large, not a word of complaint was heard. . Is it the mode of pitting, or has a change come over the Potatoc itself. It must bo tho latter; then let us salt our practice to the change and make small pits; say 15 bushels each. We are much in favor of the practice of burying Potatoes in the field or in a yard kept Unkt purpose. —In >11 cases Jhe pits khomd he % ventilated, ‘ for even*'a small pH will generate heat, .and fermentation may take place if this is not attended to. ' Ventilators should extend from the bottom of the pit np, and project cut a foot or more after tlio covering is completed for winter. Our! plan of making ventilators is to take a couple of picceh of inch hoard three inches wide' and the desired length—say five feet. Lay 'theih down on edge and take pieces of lath three inches long upon them, at intcrVAls of 2 inches, as high as tho Potatoes will reach in the pit; then box up light 'll lose can be kept for twenty years, and one may be made in fifteen minutes if materials arc atliahd, place them upright and pile the Potatoes around them. On dry land it is ah excellent plan to sink the pit a couple of feet and roof with hoards. —In this case ventilators maybe inserted in the gables. We have kept Potatoes in this .way in finer condition than by any other mode, and pitted them at less expense. , Years ago, old farmers would hot store a Pot&toe damp; !l was a fixed article in tho creed that a dtr day must bo had fhr digging, ami the Potatoes must lay there basking iii the sunshine as long as possible; then all hands must spring to and'get them, together before the dew fell. But this; like many other creeds, has lost favdr, ahd now tho very reverse is the true philosophical way-—that is, expose them as JiUle —as short a time as possible, to the flight and aw. This latter mode certainly has most reason in it. Thcsuo cess of CqJ. B. of Vermont, in raising this crop,; is well known—often lifting £00 bushels ; put of an acre of soil; When;ho gathered,; his wagon stood in the field,, covered with an old bed quilt, Ami fart -as dug, -Were pul into it‘antPkept ebvci'cd; v 'the crop WAs stored m an . out door collar, (“root house”) ho covOrcd closely with turf or sods to exclude air and light.—This was his uniform practice, ahd uniforfn success followed. . In its native clime the Potaloo remains in the earth during the winter, or the season of suspended animation. 1 . This practice is an attempt to imitate nature, and thus pre.-'orve the vigor and health of the tuber, j We have no doubt ns'to the Utility of it, and would like; to sec it'adopted generally— Farmer's Cmnpcauoh. .

The condiil lietwcen Protestantism and Roman bin is one between truth and error, tu relation to . the most, momentous question that concerns humanity, in which both the belligerent parties have nailed their colors to the mast—-the Protestant dfpemlifeg for success npon free speech, free thought, a free press’and republican forms of government, and the Romanist on the argument of force, according to the fashion of the world.

Loro said to me; there is a beahtifnl fiction in the great national pdetn of Finland, telling of a mother who had lost her son, and who, after a long and painful search, found him again, but tom, into n thousand tncfca at the bottom of the river of death. tBnt sho gathered the scattered fragmcnts|. and •. folded iho dismembered | body to h|r and rocked him there,: and sang until;UtO warm th of hcr.love restored him to life.Such is the allegory*. the interpretation 1 may be tliuS given:— Human nature is lost, shattered, arid is become a poor, helpless, distnemlwnkl thing, and tho delivering power Uuiit interposes in its behalf must lie none other than the power of Love, rocking it in her bosom, arid singing it into beauty and unity again. And such, indeed, is tho character of heavenly love as revealed in our redemption. Precisely snch a I6ve did the Saviour display when On earth. * The powers of the world were at his command. The alarm*. tbaLiSliak&-ihf poles: tho..earth - quake, and the forked lightning; tho fires that consumed Sodom, and tho floods that deluged the old world, all lay at his 1 bidding when he came to onr world, but he awoke them not. He entered a world of tears, weeping, a picture of conscious weakness while in a clear calm sky, some mihl angels sang, “Peace on earth, good will to men.'* In siich a manner commenced he the search after the lost. There arc few of ns who do not sometimes wish that the curtain might be lifted, if bnt for a moment only, which conceals the events of the coming year, that one glance might be afforded of the various scenes through which wo and those whom wo love may be led; that we might catch a gleam of the sunlit hours, which may. lovingly smile on tho dear ones abtpit ns; or, if the deep shadow must fall them, that we might once penetrate its gloom, and at least he permitted to conjecture whether wc could pass safely j through it, ‘ But in vatu we stretch tho j longing eye into the unknown, impeuo-1 trable future. All is dark—concealed.: Even the next moment gives not the faintest Whisper'of what it may reveal! Of some 'things however we may be certain. j Tae -1 messengers of Divine Providence Will as sorely go upon their destined errands as they Have in all past years.— They pass from circle to circle, from bouse to house, in silent ahd undisturbed 1 ministry, executing the wise "ahd benevo-i lent arrangements Of Infinite Love. Here,; amid anguish and team,'they enter to j withdraw one who has completed his al-1 lotted time; there amid smiles, hope and love, in sure and unerring obedience, i they stay not for sighing and prayer. j Wc may lift the curtain.which Time! is weaving over the past; forward tie cannot penetrate; but wo may go back and gather up the lessons which har e been given, and often with a liberal hand along the lino of providential arrangements.— Truly, with some of u?, it has been, “line upon Hue, and precept upon .precept,” and what can bo more “fitting than to go back, and from tho memories ' of other Years, gather fresh instruction from the impressive scones we have left far in the distance? The curtain falls. The song of the redeemed may not mingle with the eighins of mortality.

Adulteration ol Codec.

'“I Don’t Knouv*

It is very true that a person here does net know what he drinks or eats, unless he use pure Croton for Ins beverage, and buys his meat cf honest butchers. What with the flesh of over-driven and diseased animals, adulterated wines and'liquids, and cotVcc and condiments, and bread, to say nothing cf sham drugs and medicines, the purchasers of cheap articles arc the victims of a sd of sharpers who have grown np in less favored lands. Chiccory root and acorns roasted, aro imported and sold to a large amount with ground coffee, which aro made to rcseni: bio in color, as they do somewhat in flavor, by being roasted and ground. Ghiocory sells by the cask at four cents-per pound, a price which is richly remunerative fltthe present prices of coffee. Fortunately it lias no injurious elicits, but on the contrary, it is said to bo a gentle aperient, and probably is less hurtful than coffee itself, which, for nervous and dispoptic persons, is, thought temporarily cxhilerating, a perfect bane to the digestive organs and nervous system. The Turks, Arabs, Spanish, French, Spanish Americans and Brazilians, who indulge freely in the use of coffee and tobacco art particularly subject to bilious and nervous diseases, ami we have known invalids addicted to their use restored to .perfect health by abstaining entirely from them. The acorn coffee is said to act as a tonic. If we art to use these things at all, why should not grocers advertise and ; fell themes pure articles of merchandise'! Ouf Government has decided to prevent this spnricus trnlTtc.br nil legal means. According to Dr. Urt, no process in ( scichcc is simpler, or’morc -certain, than the detection of chiccory, or of similar substances, in coffee ; powder. Ground , roasted coffee imparts to cold water a ’palesherry color; whereas, when it is adulterated with ground roasted chiccory', it communicates n brown color of greater ; or less intensity.— X. IT.

Total No. farms in 36 States and Territories, 2,363,958. From this it will bo seen thit Ohio, young as she is, is second to New York alone in the number of her Agriculturists. ‘Pennsylvania is third m the list; and another of comparative recent settlement, Indiana comes next to the Keystone Slate The number given for Minnesota 340, is probably far short of what the emigration for the past four years would make it now.
