Miner's ftprtnicut. HYMN OF THE HARVEST. We gather them in—the bright green leaves, With our scythes end rakes to-day, And the mow grows big, as the pitcher heaves Ilis lilts of the swelt'ring boy. O ho ! a field for the mower's scythe, Hath a ring as of destiny, Sweeping the earth of its hurt hen lithe, As it swung in wrathful glee. We gather them in—the nodding plumes Ot the yellow and liearded grain. And the flash of our sickles' light illumes Our march o'er the vanquished plain. Anon, we come with the steed drawn car The cunning of modern laws; And the acres stoop in its clanking jar, As it rocks it hungry jaw. We gather them in—the mellow fruits From the shrub, the vine and tree, With their russet, and golden, and purple suits, To garnish our treasury. And each has a juicy treasure stored All 'ncath its tinted riud, To cheer onr guests at the social board, When we leave our cares behind. We gather them in— in this goodly store-, But not with the misers guest. For the Great Father we adore. Hath but given it in trust ; And our work of death is but for life In the wintry days to come- Then a blessing upon the Reaper's strife, And a shout at his Harvest Home. The Potato, its History, &.c. A correspondent asks why the potato is call ed the Irish Potato / To answer this <|iiestion it will be necessary, and perhaps not unprofit able, to give some of its history. The first po tato ever grown in Europe was raised 011 Sir Walter Raleigh's estate in Ireland, the seed being taken by him from Virginia about 1602. For many years, although eaten, they were grown more as objects of curiosity than profit. Their culture, however, continued to increase, and, during the wars that devasted Ireland to wards the end of the seventeenth century, when the growing grain was destroyed by the sol diery, the potato crop served to keep the in habitants from starvation. It could not be destroyed by fire, and in fact, nothing but dig ging up the crop could destroy it, which was together too much like work for soldiers,and too long a job,and so the potatoes were left to the hungry |>eoplo, for which they were, 110 doubt, very thankful. After this the potato became very popular in Ireland, and about the year 1094 was intro duced into the county of Lancashire, England, when it gradu illy spread over the adjoining counties, and through al' England ; but it was not until about the middle of the seventeenth century that the Scotch gave it a trial. Pre vious to this date, in England, potatoes were grown principally 111 vegetable gardens,and oc cupied 110 prominent place in the field culture. During the latter end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century the potato increased in popularity.and there was a cousequent increase in its culture. But, even up to 1812, the limited extent of the crop may be judged from the fact that during that year, when breadstuff's were extremely dear and scarce, the British Parliament were urged by agricultural and political economists and the press to recotnnieud, or pass some law requir ing that every farmer should grow one acre of potatoes for every oue hundred acres occupi ed. What the original variety first taken from j Virginia was, or whether more than one varie-1 ty, is not known, and it was not until about i 1800 that we find much said of different sorts. At that time Donaldson, in his Modern Agri culture, enumerated thirty-seven varieties as be ing cultivated in England. After it had been known and cultivated two hundred years, it was thought necessary by some of the wisest, and best men to encourage or enforce its grow f h by parliamentary action. In twenty years af ter this question was agitated, so popular had it become and so general its use, that no root could compare with it, either in the quantity, or in the esteem which it was held by the peo ple. In fact, therefore, that a plant, gains but slowly in popular favor is no certain evidence that it is not valuable, and we should be care ful how we cry out "humbug" at everything new because of apparant failure at first. Some of the new plants lately introduced may ulti mately effect a great moral, social and politi cal revolution in this country as did the pota to in England. If the Chinese sugar cane shall enable the farmers of the North to manufacture sugar and molasses so as to supply our markets at a cheap rate, who can calculate the highly moral and social change that will be peaceful ly effected by it., compared with which the greatest polit'cal revolution will sink into n ig nificeuce. We may learn, a'so, the folly of growing one crop so exclusively as to make its success or failure a matter of such serious im portance —almost a question of life ami death, instead of a mere matter of profit or loss for a season. We have always urged our farmers to grow a diversity of crops, even where one or two seemed for a time to be the most p:ofit able, and the failure of the wheat crop in the Genesee Valley has proved the wisdom of the advice. The potato with tis is an important crop. It is found every day of the year upon the tabh s of rich and poor, and is nt once a luxury and a necessity. In no part of the country is it grown so extensively, we think, as around Rochester immense quantities are shipped every year to New York, as far west as Cnicago.aud to most of the large cities of Canada West. No crop (excepting fruit) pays as well. In 1854 they averaged one dollar per bushel ; in 1855, lift}' cents ; in 1856 one dollar per bushel ; and at the present times are selling nt from three to four shillings. Those who grow largely for shipping, generally keep their crop over until spring, when the demand is greater and the price higher than in the fall. For keeping po tatoes nothing equals u good cellar, and some of our potato farmers have very fine ones. This is much better and more economical than bury iug in the ground. For several years the potato-rot has not been very seriously,though every wet summer the crop is more or less injured, in 1855 the summer was very wet, and probably full one-third of the potatoes were destroyed. In 1850 we had not the slightest sigu of rot.— liural Neu Yorker. ftjTA servant asked her mistress whether she could oblige her by going out on a partic ular afternoon, as she was going to have a par ty of friends, and wanted the loauof the draw in g room.
