Probably one of the worst business es under trio sun is that of a punter. His every deed seeks the light of day. Turn e of tho lawyer lie iu dark boxes nud between dusty shelves; tie-doe-■ tor places his indifferent handiwork in the grave; the tradesman has hut his customer to please and satisfy when his work is on-.led, but the prin ter every ignoramu ; pells over the work of a printer. Fellows who would fiud it impossi ble to put twenty letters together grammatically will point out with 1 glee a fault iu his work —indeed, it is usually this class of individuals who’ make it a j oiut of finding out, every little discrepancy. Did the public know the thousands of different char acters, dillereut letters and atoms comprised in a printer's every day life did they know tho variety of al together foreign subjects he has to set up, read, coma*, and revise day alder any they would wonder how he kept out of the lunatic asylum. But practice makes perfect and constant i friction has rubbed off all the roily/ edges from tho character of the man of letters nothing takes effect upon him -he can view errors of the most frightful description with calmness. After all, what is an error, grammat ically or otherwise? Simply so many atoms out of place, that is all, and quite enough—but not enough to up set the equanimity of the printer.

To those woo have fully tested the respective value of those various root crops, the question uf the superiority ot the sweet potato over the other two is no longer a debata ble on--. Found for pound, the sweet potato is far more valuable ior all feeding purposes tUuu the Irish pota to, and immeasurable so than the turnip. All stock are especially loud of it, and thrive upon it as they do upon no oth'-r green food. Where other root crops derive their eh a. 1 nu tritive qualities from the si area they contain, and which, before assimila tion, must bo •converted into sugar, the sweet potato contains the sugar itself, thus tanking the digestive or gans t.o a far 1 s degree than in iho ease of almost imv oilier food.
