VIZ once heard of young lady who cast
away the "Pilgrim's Progress" with contempt
because, as she declared, it was ridi culous to
think Of going to heaven on foot. It seems
she has companions in blunders almost equal
ly as great and some Of these even among
the learned, as we are advised by the follow
ing which 1--WE clip from the Partor Maga-
zine:
"When Dante published bis Inferno the
simplicity Of the age accepted it as u true
narrative Of his descent into nell
"When the Utopia Of Sir Thomas Moore
was first published, the learned Budseus and
others took it for a genuine history, and con-
sidered it as highly expedient that missiona~
ries should be sent thither, in order to convert
so wise a nation to Christianity,
at was a long while after their publica-
ton, before many readers were convinced that
Guliver's Travels were fictitious.
The 'Hermippus ReIivius,' Of Doctor
Campbell, curious banter on the hermetic
philosophy and the universal medicine, de-
ceived for length of time, the most learned
of that day. His notion of the art of pro-
longing life, by inhaling the breath of young
women, was eagerly credited. A physician
who himself had composed treatise on
health, was so influenced by it, that he actu-
ally took lodgings at female boarding school,
that he might never be without a constant
supply Of the breath of young ladies.

"TuAT's THE ALLEGoRY, "A miscr being
dead, and fairly inferred, came to the banks
Of the river Styx desiring to be ferriod over
along with the other ghosts. Charon de-
manded his fare, and was surprised to see the
miser, rather than pay it, throw himself III
to the river and swim over to the other side,

GRALy,, on THE BREAD PLANT.-Gran is
the standard food Of man. 1t is called the
staff Of life. 1t is the produce of a grass
that peculiar kind of grass which is raised
by man for his 0wn use, and which does not
grow OF itself in wild state. The origin
oil wheat, barley, oats, rice, rye, and maize
is wrapt in poetical and physiological obscm-
ity. Nations in general have aacribed their
introduction 10 special revelation, the direct
agency OF the gods Brahma bestowed the
gift of rice upon india. Isis first taught the
Egyptians how to cultivate wheat Demetcr
introduced the art Of corn-growing into Greece
and Ceres into Italy, The Peruvians and
Meyicans had similar traditions respecting
maize; and botanists have not yet discover
ed any ipeeies of wild corn TO justify them
in asserting that man has succeeded by means
Of cultivatlng in eleyating the inferior into
superior plant. Had corn ever grown wild
in any age of the world, or in any portion of
the world should it not grow wild still But
though the subject has excited the curiosity
and exercised the controversial talents Of the
learned for three thousand years, they have
never yet been able to demonstrate the fact of
the origin OF the cultivated grains from the
uncuitivated grasses.
No wonder, then, that the history Of grain
mas ma been wrapped up in mystery. 1t looks
IKE DIVINE giit-like language itself, which
is found amongst the lowest specimens of saw
age humanity. Still it is remarkable fact
that It IS only amongst civilized nations that
gain is to be found. The inhabitants of the
South Sea Islands live upon bread-fruit and
cocoa-nuts and the New Zealanders, till of
late, had their only supply of farinaceous
food from fern stems, Amongst the deserts
OF Africa, where cultivation of the land is
scarcely possible, the principal food of the
inhabitants is derived from the date-palm.-
The region of the grains is the great arena
human civilization.

COZ AND CORN MEAL.

TIE con-cob has generally been consider
ed worthless to the farmer, except for fuel
and manure. Lately, however, it has been
customary with some to grind it into meal
with the corn--machines for this purpose
having been invented which operate with adj
mirable success, and enable the farmer to
convert his refuse corn with his cobs, into ex-
cellent meal, without the expense or fatigue
Of sheiling | am persuaded that of all the
late improvements that have been suggestcdnc
one is OF more decided practical importance
to the farming interest than this
1t is, presume, Obvious to most rejecting
minds, that the cob of Indian corn contains
= large amount Of nutriment. The pifh il
replete with tarina, and if ground, it furnish
es an article Of which very excellent and sal
utary bread and buildings may be made
Why, then, should not the same article be
valuable for fattening swnc neat cattle anC
other domestic animals A dough made o
corn and cob meal is a valuable food for fat
tening poultry. The meal itself will sustain
working oxen and horses under circumstance
Of severe and protracted exposure. If an,
person questions the truth OF these assertions
let him reduce them at once 10 the test of ex
pertinent, and he will soon find them true ,an,
be led to rejoice in the discovery, as it will
with care and attention, on his part, enable
him to make 4 very important saving in tn
expense Of keeping his animals, and especial
ly those which require granting, to enabl
them to perform their accustomed task on tn
farm, or on the road.
And here, sir, allow me to suggest tina
common hay, together with all the other ar
ticlcs ordinarily used for feeding neat cattle
would be vastly improved in value if rcduc
ed By griadiag | have no doubt that ;
meal made Of hay, Or even of cornstalks
would possess sufficient additional value ovel
and above the raw material to defray the ex
pense, and have no question that belor
many years, hay ground, or hay-meal, if
is not too absurd to use such term, will b
as common as Indian meal or rye meal 10,
is. have some facts to communicate here
after in reference TO this matter, which
think will be interesting to your readers. W

THE ANCIENT " PAPERS Our citizens,
one generation and another, have taken the
papers," and given them a good support
When they commenced, and what with, the
following will show:
The first newspaper established in North
America was the Boston News Letter, COM
menccd April a. 1904. 1t was half a sheet
of paper, II inches by 8, two columns on a
page B. Green was the printer.
The second was the Boston Gazette, Dec.
q, 17l0.
The third was the New England Courant,
August II, l721.
The fourth was the New England Weekly
Journal March 20, 1927.
The fifth was the Weekly Rehearsal, Sept.
u, 1881, changed to the Boston Evening
Post in 1875.
The sixth was the Boston Weekly Post
Boy, Oct, 1874.
The seventh was the Independent Advor-
tiser, Jan. +, 174S.
The eight was the Boston Gazette, Jan. 3,

I like 'percha," is pure Malay. The material
so fast coming into use, cannot boast an Eng
| fish name!
The extent of territory occupied by the
Percha tree, in its several varieties, it is i'm
possible even to guess. 1t is known to abound
not only on the Malay peninsula, but in the
neig hboring island of Singapore, and in Bor-
neo also, and in other islands of the vast Or
iental Archipelago The old Arabian explor-
ers of the East declared, with somewhat Of
hyperbole, that those sunny seas were studded
by "twelve thousand isles" and it is proba-
| bic that the tree is scattered over half mil
lion square miles of territory. Little fear,
therefore, of the supply becoming exhausted
At present, however, the trade is connned at
Singapore.
The sap, or gutta, circulates between the
bark and body of the tree, in vessels whose
course is marked by black longitudinal lines
upon the wood. This milky fluid exudcs
from notches cut at intervals down the trunk,
and is received in vessels, where it immedi-
ately coaguates. 1t was formerly the GUS
tom to fell the trees before collecting the sap.
but this plan is now proved as unnecessary
as it is wasteful, the notches neither injuring
the tree nor preventing a second accumula'
ton Of sap.

GUTTA PEHCHA.

LIKE many other useful substances and in
vcntlons, Gutta Percha seems to have had
two discoveries about the same time. The
one was Mr.. Thomas Lobb, an agent Of the
well known florists, Messrs. Veitcb, of Exc
ter, Eng, who visited the East Indies on Il
botanical mission, in the year 1912 or 1843.
The other was DR.. Montgomeric, assistant sur
geon to the Residency of Singapore, on the
Malay peninsula. He observed, one day, in
the hand of native woodman, parand, or
Wood-axe, the handle Of which was composed
OF slngular-loobing substance. This cxcit-
ed his curiosity. 81 questioned the work
man, says the DOCTOR Sin whose possession |
saw it, and heard that the material Of which
1T was framed could be moulded into any
form by dipping it into boiling water until it
was heated through when it became as pIas-
tic as clay, regaining when cold, its original
hardness and rigidity." Dr. Moptgomer;e
further ascertained that the substance lilo
Caoutchouc, exuded from forest tree. and
having procured few specimens in various
stages of preparation, Transmitted them to the
Society OF Arts in London They were there
subjected to close and testing examination
and at length the gold medal of the Society
was awarded to the Doctor, as for valua-
BILE discovery. Scientific men soon perceived
few of the great capabilities of Gutta Per.
cha, and demand for it commenced, which
has now created an important trade, the an
nual importations amounting to many hun
dreds of tons.
1t should be mentioned that Percha is the
Malay name for the tree itself, Gutta for the
derived substance. Our young schoolboy
friends will, perhaps, say "gutta" in Latin
signifies drop" and conclude that the word
was therefore adopted by our learned men to
denote the "droppings" Of the tree This will
be mistake, however. The likeness to the
Latin word in only a coincidence. "Gutta,"
