" Reason and Ihlth;" says an old divine, ‘resemble tho two sons of tho patriarch.— Reason Is tho first-lorn; but faith inherits tho blessing." We should represent reason and fhlth ns twin-born! the one In form and (In jures tho’ imago of manly beauty; tho other of feminine grace and gentleness; but tn each of whom, alas, is a sad privation. While tho bright eyes of reason are frill of a piercing and restless Intelligence, his ear is closed to sound; and while faith has an car of exquis ite delicacy, on hor sightless orbs, ns sho lifts them towards heaven, the sunbeam plays In vain. Hand In hand the brother and sister hr mutual lova pursue their way through a world In which, llko ours, day breaks and night fhllsalfernato; by day tho eyes of rea son are tho guldo of fhlth, and by night tho car of faith Is tho guldo of reason.

Potato Culture. Many years since, I discovered that new po tatoes Invariably set above tlio tubers, or seed planted, and In accordance wllhniy knowledge of that fact, I commenced planting tjio pota toes as deep in the ground, ns I overdesigned they should be nt any time during the season of cultivation. Tho practice has thus far ful ly answered my expectations. I have for the past ten years Invariably raised very good crops, of fair sized potatoes, while many of my neighbors; tilling tho samo kind of soil pursued tho old method of hlllingand tillage, have had lighter yields and smaller and In ferior potatoes. I have found that tho seasons of sevoro drouth havo not as seriously affect cd my crops os tlioso ofothors. I prepare the land for potatoes tho samo as for corn, plant in lillls three feet apart and usually with a apndo dig as deep as tho ground has been ploughed, and. If a sod, Icut through it. The tops are longer In coming out of tho ground, but ns soon as out. I pass through the rows with n cultivator, anil with a hoe clean tho hills. When hoed, I put tho same composition in the hills that I use for corn which greatly benefits the crop. I endeavor to keep tho ground clean during tho reason I hnvo usually planted about the first of May. and dug nnd housed as soon ns they were sufllciontly vlpo, and therefore havo lost but few by the rot. I doubt not that If fhrmera would, where tlicir soil admits, practice the level mode of culture, both with corn and potatoes, they would generally be much bet ter repaid for tlicir labor. But enough upon this subject. Fro7.cn to Death.—Wo learned somo mel ancholy fhets, relative to tho frecsing to death ofsomo men on tha Lake. Tho frets, for which we are indebted to our friend Capt. Dan. Hickory, are as follows: On Monday evening, about nlno o'clock, tho schooner General Worth capsized on tho Lake. She was loaded with lumbar. Tho crow cut awny tho rigging, and sho righted up and drifted over to the other shore, near tho mouth of the Canal. Yesterday morning, a hunter by tho nnmo of Wm. Boughton, went out to her with his boat, and found four of the crew still alive, two frozen to death, lying i n the deck, completely covered with ice. Ono man jump ed overboard, to swim ashore, nnd as soon ns ho got out of tho water, ho likewise froze to death. The schoonor Is two miles above tho house, about n quarter of a mile fr om the shore, with the foremast gone.—IV. O. Delta, Jan. 15. A Coalition in a SsAni..—Tho Boston Post of Saturday week gives the following do- lightful portrait of tho disinterestedness nnd harmony of the ’ Coalition” |mrty in tho Mas sachusetts Legislature, now in session nnd having a majority in both Ilonses: " Tho Frco-soll branch of tho Coalition body claim tho most important offices.— Bomo of them claim six cnunccllors. we un derstand, to three Democrats, and even insist upon having a Frco-soll councilman from Boston, and upon throwing Mr. Cushman, tho Lieutenant Governor, overboard, putting Amasa Walker in his place, nnd electing Mr. Palfrey, Secretary of State ; tho Mr. Palfrey who expressed himself so much opposed tn any association with Democrat* only n year ago.

Tho political horizon was becoming darker nnd darker, and thoro seemed scarce a star of hope in tlio sky. But senreoly had Mr. Fill more taken the helm of stato before tho confi dence of tho nation revived. There was on evident honesty, patriotism, singleness of purpose and firmness about tho man, which gave assurance that ho was equal to tho oxl- goncy of tho hour. Nor was tho country dis appointed. A scries of measures was soon passed, and received hts official sanction, which gavo pence to tho distracted Union, and was received by all sections as an hbnor- ablo adjustment of all questions In dispute.— And. It deserves to bo remarked that tho only points of Mr. Fillmore's Administration which havo excited anything like bitter criticism oven from Ills political opponents, havo been thoso which proceeded from veneration of na tional good frith; which hare sought tn make the United States respect tho rights of other nations as he had inndo the,Nnrth respect tho rights of tho Sonth; and which by avoid ing tho acquisition of new territory, tended to save the country from perils identical with thoso from which she had just been extricated.
