The word cune which is now confined TO
one species Of walking stick, was former
1y the generic term embracing all the va
rieties adopted by man, when he had dis.
covered, in his wisdom, that two legs
were insufficient. The walking stick was
at first used only from necessity--as an
extra prop or shore for this claYed tene-
ment. Ii afterwards found way to the
schools, was admired by the Iogicians and
deemed tinsher of controversy. 1t was
Irresistible logic, and derived the name of
cane from him wao first employed it az an
nrsunlentam hominen. Canes NAV be di-
Yided into two classes.--those that give
support and those that require it or, in
other words carniverOus and heTbaceous.
These again may be subdiyided into four,
viz stick, stickee, cane and cudgel, or
shillaiah. II may perhaps excite a mo-.
mentary surprise, that philosophy should
stOop from nature and her works TO the
mere appendages Of man but let them
consider that the cane is the index, the
guide board, the very mirror OF the mind,
and this surprise trust, will vanish.-.

mistaken notion Hence, a Dutchman
