Those medicines arc indebted for their

purifying tho springs and channels of lite, and
enduing them with renewed tor.'} and vigoi,
and to tV undoubtod fact that at a very early
period in their history they had rescued suffer
ers from the very verge of an untimely grave,
after all tho deceptive nostrums of the day,
prescribed by physicians, had utterly tailed, in
which cases they also permanently secured
that uniform onjoymont of her 1th, without
which life itself is but a partial blessing.

Desponding victims hear;
These fetters on your hands receive,
Or in your hearts tho spear."
"And is the conflict o'er,'" we cried,
"And lie we at your feet?
And dare you vauntingly decide
The fortune we must meet}
"A brighter day we soon shall, see,
Tho' now the prospect lowers,
And conquest, peace and liberty
Shall gild our future hours."
The foe advanced:—in firm array—
We rushed o'er Sabla's sands,
And the red sabre marked our way
A.aidst their broken bands
Then as they writhed in death's cold grasp,
We cried "Our choice is made.
These hands the sabre's hilt shall clasp,
Your hearts shall have the blade."

In 19 - Î3, we had our seed potatoes from !
the parish of Penicuik. When cut, I de- !
sired the women to riddle a shovelfull of hot j
lime on every basketfull of new cut sets. |
They were turned over and over-again,
until the lime was taken -,;p by the sets, j
when they were put in a heap three or four
feet thick, where I have kept them for two
or three weeks. The hot lime had the ef
fect of stepping the flow of juice, and of
encrusting a strong skin on the sets. This
crust, on the one band, preserves the sap
being drawn away from the sets in a dry
season among dry toil, and of repelling
wet in a wet season among damp earth.
The sorts of potatoes experimenter* on were
dons and blues. The land was in a fine
moist state, well worked,and the dung well
made, and they were ridged in the last week
in April. There were a regular hraird, and
the crop was fine.
In 1884, our seed potatoes, dons and
bines, were obtained from same parish, and
treated in the same manner. The ground
was very dry, the dung dry, and the heat
great when they were planted; sodiy that
the dust was flying from the strong clay
soil when they drilled up. The braird was
regular and the crop fine, with the excep
tion of eleven drills which were planted
without the sets being limed, and which
proved a complete failure, and of some ox
nobles which also failed.
In 1835, we did not change our se-d po
tato. One-half of the land v/as dunged on
the stubble in October, and the other half
in spring; part of it on strong clay, and !
part ol) li^'ht loam. The dung was very
