MY LITTLE DAUGHTER'S SHOES.
Tv ■ llltl, rough vro rn. stubbed i*Uocs,
A | lump, well-trodden pair;
With sniped stockings thrust within,
Lie just beside my chair.
t f very homely fabric they,
A hole is in each toe ;
They might have cost, when they were new,
Some fifty cents or so.
And yet, this little worn-out pair
Is richer far to mo
Than all the jewelled sandals are
Os Eastern luxury.
This root:led leather, cracked with use,
Is hatin in my sight;
These little tarnished buttons shine
With all a diamond's 1 ghfc.
Se arch through the wardrobe of the world !
You shall not find me ti e c,
So rarely ma le, so richly wrought,
So glorious a pair.
And why 1 Because they tell of her,
Now sound usle .*p above,
Who-e form is moving beauty, and
Who-e heart is beating love.
They tell me of her merry laugh ;
Her rich, Id le hearted glee ;
Iler genilem-ss, her innocence,
And infant purity.
They tell me that her wavering steps
Will long demand my aid ;
For the old road of human life
’ Is very roughly laid.
High hills and swift descents abound ;
And, on so rude a way,
Feet that can wear these coverings
Would sorely go astray.
Sweet little girl! be mine the task
Thy f.eble stops to tend !
To bo thy guide, thy counsellor,
Thy p’ay mate and thy friend !
And when my steps shall falterirg grow,
And thine be firm and strong.
Thy strength shall lead my tottering ago
In cheerful peace along ! C.

Storing Sweet Potatoes.—ln the lat
ter part of this month, or early in Novem
ber, prepare for preserving sweet potatoes
for winter ami spring. Select a dry spot,
level the ground, and lay down a bed of
straw, *o as to form a circle about six feet
in diameter. On this straw, pile up the po
la'oes until they form a cone four or live
feet high, over which spread a little dry
grass or straw. Cover the entire conewith
corn stalks, set up end-wise, with the buts
resting on the ground and the tops reach
ing over the apex of the heap, sufficiently
thick to conceal the potatoes. Then cov
er the whole pile with earth, at least a foot
thick, without leaving any air hole at the
top, as is frequently the case. A tempora
ry shelter should then be made over the
cone, so as to prevent the rainsfrom wash
ing oil the earth. This may be done by
setting in the ground near the base of the
pile four forked stakes, on, which rails or
small poles may be placed, to support a
covering of bark, rough boards, or thatch.
Potatoes can be preseived in this manner
until June, nearly as fresh as when new.
Kitchen Garden. —Sow beets, turnips,
onions, cabbages, (early and large sorts,)
lavishes, (round and long.) lettuces celery,
chervil, endive, cress, spinach, Windsor

parsley, and roquet. —Transplant aspara
gus and strawberries; also cabbage roots
for seed. Dress artichokes, take away all
their suckers but three to each stalk, open
their roots, lay about them new earth and
manure, and plant out suckers for another
crop.

THE TOMATO
16 one of the most w holesome fruits that
is cultivated. The plant is vigorous, har
dy, and pioductive. and one of the easiest
to cultivate, it is adapted to all parts of
the country, by starting it in the north, in
a hot bed, or Mime other mode to forward
the plants, which costs but a trifle.
Tiiis fruit may be cooked in 20 or 30
different ways, suiting the taste of almost
every person ; —and to many it is very pal
atable indeed, though most persons need to
be accustomed to its use a while before
they relish it.
The tomato is excellent for billions af
fections. and lor dyspepsia. When we
were publishing, the Yankee Farmer, there
was an article in that paper on the health
ful properties of the tomato, and ihe same
paper contained a seed catalogue, in which
war the tomato. A nerwan who had been
severely afflicted with the dyspepsia for 10
years, so that he could eat but very few
common di-hes of food, piocured some to
mato seed, of which plant he had previous
j no knowledge; and he raised some fruit
j and used it as food, and he had jellies and
other preparations made in the Fall, that
he might use when the season for fresh to
matoes was over. By this simple remedy,
lie was completely cured, in a few month®,
i of an obstinate disease, that he bad bid de
fiance to the best medical skill for ten long
I years, for so they must have seemed to the
unfortunate invalid. Here we also have
i the important bearing which a single fact
1 gleaned from a useful paper, has upon a
i man's health, life, and interest generally.

i Interesting Fact in Grafting.—Du
; Hamel, the celebrated French pomologist

and had all the qualities of the lemon,
without partaking of any of the properties {
of the orange. It is evident, in this in- !
| stance, that the stalk of the lemon changed j
; the color, taste, and smell of the juices of
i the orange tree. And from this experi
ment, we have reason to conclude, that all
the different figures, colors, tastes, and ,
j smells, which we find in different plants, 1
are formed in the plants themselves.

AN ESSAY UN KICKABLE PEOPLE.
BY XANDERS.
There are, as we think every body must
have felt, certain descriptions of offences
and offenders, that have a strong -and pe
culiar tendency towards exciting in you
the desire of kicking your man, accotnpan- j
ied by an impression or feeling, that no
oilier kind of punishment whatever would
be so suitable, or would so adequately ex
press the sentiments you entertain towards
him; that would, in short, he half so satis
factory. Banishment, fine, imprisonment
suppose you had the power to inflict all or
either of them, would not answer your
purpose; would not express what you
would be at. Nothing, in truth, would do
this, ’itit the infliction of a good sound
kicking; and that yet, not so much from
any idea of its superior capabilities in the
way of causing pain, as from the delight
ful expression of cordial and thorough con
tempt it conveys.
It is this last consideration that makes J
kicking so satisfactory a punishment, so
great a luxury to the inflictor.
kickable people are of various descrip
tions. Among these are your kickable
subjects prima facia ; those whose provoc
atives are visible and external, whose in
centives for you to kick them, lie chiefly
in manner and bearing.
It is not necessary that this sort of per
son should actually say or do anything to
you, to create in you the desire to kick
him. The desire rises spontaneously at
the very sight of him, and his supercilious
j air. His insolent tone of voice and swag
gering gait complete the temptation. This
kind of person you feel disposed to kick
without further inquiry or provocation.
All bucks, bloods and dandies of a cer
tain description, are thus highly kickable
subjects prima facta.
Insolence of office is preeminently kick
able. Whoever went into a public office,
and was treated, as he is very apt to be, ■
with the most offensive hauteur by some
saucy, well-paid official, without feeling
the desire to kick him, rising strong within
him ? without feeling that fifteen minutes’
kicking of the puppy would be one of the
greatest luxuries of life ?
Petty tyranny is also eminently kicka
ble. Few, we think, can have witnessed
the unfeeling, overhearing conduct oi the
little tyrant —the tyrant of ordinary life—
to those beneath him, to those who obey
hitn, and whose bread depends on their o
| bcdieuce, without feeling that a soun 1 and
well prolonged kicking would be just the
sort of punishment to inflict on him.
What a treat to take the petty tyrant in
the act, precisely at the moment when he
is abusing and bullying some poor depend
ent, ami give him twenty minutes of a
well directed shoe point on the seat of
honor ?
Conceit of all kinds is kickable in a
very high degree. The soft simper that
■speaks the pleasant feelings of the vain
ass, as he thinks of his superiority over
all mankind, and over you in particular;
the slight smile of conscious ability, that
plays round the corners of his unbeaming
mouth. Who can contemplate them without
feeling an itching in his ‘oes?
There are dirty bits of conduct, too, bits
of insolence on the part ofthose whoimag
ine themselves your superiors, that excite
the desire to kick pretty strongly.
You you l '’ r .o‘ pc-hap®. go far out of ‘
iQiiiiiDS® wumw ©raffle
your wav to inflict it. nor would you give
it very severely; just two or three kicks
to show the feeling you entertain towards
the offender, and give some idea of the re
spect you have for him.
As regains his person, the eminently
kickable subject, whethei kickable from
offensiveness of manner or conduct, is. ex
cepting in the case of a buck, perhaps, a
little snuffy, paltry, insignificant looking
creature; his being so, if a tyrant, for in
stance, rendering him doubly obnoxious to
the punishment of kicking.
In the case of such a person, of one
who, with a wretched and contemp’ible
figure, spoils the most offensive insolence
of manner and conduct, the desire to kick
is all but irresistible.
How one longs to apply the shoe point
to the rear part of the conceited, overbear
ing little rascal!
There are, dear reader, as you know, a
good many other kickable sorts of people;
but as your knowledgs and experience is
quite competent to supply these, we need
not enumerate them.
ANECDOTE OF WASHINGTON.
The following anecdote of Washington
we find in the government organ. We do
not believe it is true:
“ By a vote of the House of Burgesses,
of Virginia, the speaker, Mr. Robinson,
was directed to return thanks to Washing
ton for his distinguished military services,
in behalf of the colony. Upon his ap
pearance in the House, Mr. Robinson dis
charged that duty with dignity and elo
quence. At the conclusion of the Speak
ers address, the historian tells us that
• Washington rose to express his acknowl
edgements for the honor, but such was his
trepidation and confusion, that he could
not give distinct utterance to a single sylla
ble. He blushed, stammered, and trembled
lor a second, when the speaker relieved
him by a stroke of address, which would
have done honor to Louis the Fourteenth,
in his proudest and happiest moments:
‘•‘Sit down Mr. Washington, (said he,
with a conciliatory smile,) your modesty
equals your valor, and that surpasses the
power ol any language that I can ex
piess.’ ”
THE EMPEROR'S TRIUMPH.
Hamili, reputed one of the wisest and
best of the Chinese emperors, after having
gained great advantages over the Tartars,
who had invaded his dominions, returned
to the great city of Nankin, to enjoy his
success. After he had rested some days
front his fatigues the people, who are nat
urally fond of show, looked for the trium
phal entry that monarchs at such times are
accustomed to make. Their murmurs
reached the emperor's ears. He loved his
people, and was willing to do all he could
to satisfy their just desires. He therefore
assured them that he meant at the next
public festival to exhibit one of the most
glorious triumphs that had occurred in Chi
na. The people rejoiced at his condescen
sion, and on the appointed day assembled
at the palace gate with the most eager ex
pectation. There they waited for some
lime, without seeing any of those prepara
tions that usually precede a triumph. The
lantern with the thousand tapers was not
yet brought forth, and the fireworks that
usually covered the city walls were not ,
lighted. The people were clamorous at
this delay, when in the midst of their im
patience the palace gate flew open and the
1 emperor himself appeared in an ordinary
habit, followed by the blind, the maimed,
and the strangers of the city all well clad j
and in their hamls money enough for a
year's wants. The people, at first amazed
soon saw the wisdom of their king,and felt
that to promote virtue and make men hap
py was the summit of human glory.
MARRIAGE IN LAPLAND.
It is death in Lapland to marry a maid
u ithont the consent of her parents or friends.
When a young man has formed an attach
ment for a female, the fashion is to appoint
their friends to meet to behold the two
young parties run a race together. The
maid is allowed in starting the advantage
of one third part of the race, so that it is
impossible, except willing herself, that she
should be overtaken. If the maid outrun
her suitor, the matter is ended ; he must
never have her, it being penal for the man
to renew the motion of marriage. But if
: the virgin has an affection for him, though
at first she runs fast to try the truth of his
love, she will (without Atlanta's golden
balls to retard her speed) pretend some
casualty, and make a voluntary halt be
fore she comes to the mark or the end ol
the tace. Thus none are compelled tu
marry against their own wills; and this
is the cause that in this poor country, the
married people are richer in their own con
tentment than in other lands, where so
many forced matches make feigned love,
and cause real unhappiness.

A PLOT AND REVENGE.
M. P., an old soldier of stern and un
yielding disposition, decided to marry his
son to the dauitliter of a fellow companion
in arms. The young man had conceived
other projects, and contracted another en
gagement. But, through excessive timidi
ty, poor Arthur, did not dare openly to re
sist the commands of his father, whose first
words had been so brutally overwhelming,
that he passed all the time between the en
gagement and the wedding, doing nothing
but sighing deeply. Mile. Emma L. took
his melancholy for classic symptoms of
i love, and began to adore him more than ev
er. On the morning of the wedding, they
repaired to the house of the Magistrate :
Arthur was sad, reserved, and seemed to
have formed some desperate resolution.
Emma was in raptures.
Monsieur, the Mayor of C , the
preliminaries being over, addressed to the I
bride-groom the customary question :
“Arthur P., do you consent to take Em
j ma L. for your wife 1”
Arthur slowly raised his head, and in a j
voice choked by emotion, but full and res
olute replied:
“ No!”
General excitement, scandal, and scenes
of confusion prevailed. They separated in
disorder, the indignant parents demanded
an explanation from M. P., the father, who
seemed struck with apoplexy. As for Ar
thur, he escaped, and left for Paris.
Some days after, a young lady ascended
the stairs of a furnished hotel, Rue Saint
llonore. She had enquired of the porter
lor M. Arthur I\, who ha l arrived the 1
evening previous. It was Fintna, come to
Paris with her father and M. I’., in search
of her affianced who had so shamefully in
sulted her: but she was alone now. She ■
rapped at the door of No. 17, and entered
without waiting for an answer. The
young man was lyingdown readinganews
paper. Emma walked directly to the bed,
and drawing from under her shawl an en
ormous horse pistol, which, doubtless, she
had stolem from her father.
“Sir.” said she, to Arthur, her eyes flash
ing fire, “you have insulted me; I demand
satisfaction : that satisfaction I exact, pis
tol in hand. Let us return to the Mayor
of C , both in weddingattire; he will
put you the usual question; you will say
‘yes;’ I will say ‘no.’”
Emma brandished her pistol in both
hands. It was an argument. But, after
all, it was only her right, or nearly so; at
least such was Arthur’sopinion. He con
sented and left the same evening, with his
father, who gnashed his teeth all the way.
They appeared again before the Mayor—
the same Magistrate. Arthur boldly an
swered “ yes,” and prepared his counte
nance, always bashfui enough, in order to
hear ihe reply of his betrothed.
The Mayor continued, “ Emma L.. do
you consent?” Emma answered “yes,”
in the most natuial lone imaginable.
M. P., the father, is delighted, and feels
assured that a union commenced under
such auspicies will eml like a fairy tale!
THE PRETENDED MIRACLE.
In one of the private visits which the
Great Frederick was wont to pay his sol
diers, he met a jolly fellow, who had that
: evening deserted the service of Mars for
that of Bacchus.
The monarch, entering into discourse
* with him, asked him, how he was able,
j out of his small s ipend, to make so laigc
I an offering to the god of wine; and added,
! “I assure you, comrade, my pay is the
same as yours, yet I cannot afford it : pray
tell me how you can do this.”
“Give me your hand, my lad; you seem
to be an honest fellow, and I’ll tell you the
secret; to-day I have been drinking with
an old acquaintance—it is very hard, you
know, if one can t take a drop now and
then with a friend; and on these occasions
a day’s pay is a scanty allowance; so I
was obliged to make use of the old expe
dient.”
“What is that?” said the king.
“Why, to pledge those of my accoutre
ments which I could best spare, fora short
time; a little frugality will bring all right
again, and then they may be redeemed.—
j This morning, 1 parted with the blade of
my sword ; as we shall not have a field day
for some time, I shall not therefore have
| any use for it.”
Frederick observed the man closely
’ thanked him for his information, and then
| wished him good night.
1 The nest daj the troops received an un
expected summons to the field.
The king passed along the line, and re
cognising his new friend, ordered him and
the immediate man behind him, from the
’ ranks; they were commanded to strip.
“Now,” says the king to his new com- ,
panion, “draw your sword, and strike off
that traitor’s head,” (pointing to theother.)
i “For heaven’s sake, my liege, pardon 1
me ; this man has been my comrade for i
more than fifteen years, and I should never
know a moment’s peace after.”
The king was deaf.
“Since, then, Sire, nothing I can say can
move you, I pray that God may be moved
to work a miracle in my favor, and turn
I this into a wooden sword.”
Fie uttered this with a seeming fervor,
and feigned the greatest astonishment when
he found it had happened as he wished.
The king knowing the artifice, could not
but admire the fellow’s ingenuity, and not
only pardoned, but rewarded him.
A Smart Boy. —“ Well, sonny, whose
pigs are those !”
Old sow’s, sir.”
1 “ Whose sow is it V’
( “Our old mail’s, sir.”
“ Well, then, who is your old man ?”
“If you’ll mind the pigs, I’ll run home
and ax the old woman.”
“Never inind, sonny; I want a smart
boy—what can you do?”
“Oh 1 1 can do more than considerable.
1 milks the geese, rides the turkies to wa
ter, ham-strings the grasshopper, lights J
fires for flies to court by, cuts the buttons j
