RATHER ToUGn.-The Catoclin Gnd) Wing
has been telling story of cane that was
stuck in the ground about 43 years ago and
grew up into large tree which was cut down
q few days since, when the cane dropped out
of the heart of the tree in its original condi-
ton.
The Worcester Spy tries to surpass this by
story of some chairs which were made in
Sterling, some years ago, of green timberan
sold in Rhode Island. The wood shrunk so
on drying that the chairs fell in pieces, but
the purchaser put them together in a moist
cellar, and left them there to swell, The re-
suit was that the chairs grew, and in a few
days little chairs were found sprouting out
all over them. We believe the editorial sane
tum of the Spy is now furnished with chairs
which sprang from this stock.
These stories remind us of the effect which
o cargo of guano once had upon an old
brig. This vessel was about 250 tons burthen
when she received her load at the Lobos Is
lands, but by the time she had doubled Cape
Horn her size had more than trebled. When
she had reached Rio Janeiro she had become
bark Of 1900 tons, and the captain stop
ped at that port, and after trimming out the
superfuous sprouts from the inside of her
hold, took in large freight in addition to the
guano, and returned home-making an ex-
ceedingly profitable voyage.
This latter tale can only be matched by
one from the Jewish Talmud, which is prolific
Of large stories In that veracous chronicle
bird is mentioned which was so large that
when it spreads its wings in blotted out the
sun.
On one occasion an egg fell from out its
nest, and the white thereof broke and glued
about three hundred cedar trees, and overaowed
a village One of the birds standing in the
water, was seen by some mariners, and as the
water only reached to the lower joint of the
leg of the bird, the mariners were about to
battle, when voice from Heaven said, "Step
not in here, for seven years ago, there car
penter dropped his axe and it hath not yet
reached the bottom p
We have no doubt that the above mention.

There was singular problem among the
Stoics which ran to this purpose -" When
a man says, lie, does he lie, or does he not I?
IF he lies he speaks the truth if he speaks
the truth he lies" Many are the books writ
ten on this wonderful problem Chrysippus
favored the world with no less than six; and
Phileatas studied himself to death in his
vain endeavors to solve it..

About twenty-five years ago, an individual
who proiessed to cure thattroublesome imped-
lent in speech, known as stammering, gave
lessons in his art in most of our larger cities.
Many who received his instructions and fol-
lowed them rigidly, were able to speak with
out obstruction. But, in most cases, the cure
was only temporary. In very short time
the annoying habit returned.
The philosophy of the cure was very SIM
pie Stammering is occasoned by the effort
to speak while inhaling; and utterance is only
obtained when the lungs become full Of air,
and the process of breathing out begins The
lesson given was, never to attempt to speak
until after taking breath. So long as the
individual could think of this law, and care
fully apply it, no impeachment would occur;
but the habit of years was not to be overcome
by few days, or even weeks of perseverance,
and, in most cases, the stammcrer returned in
little while to the old order Of things.
Our thought has been turned to this sub
ject, by seeing the annexed statement of a
fact in the newspapers:
.Mr. Wakefield, at an inquest held lately
in England, states that a few days before the
summonng officer told him it would be use
less to call one witness, lad because he slut
tered so excessively that he could hardly ar
ticulate the shortest sentence in half an hour.
Mr.. Wakefield. however, had him called, and
telling him that as shot could not be dis
charged from gun without powder, so words
could not come from the mouth unless the
lungs had their powder,viz. air. He told the
lad to inhae or draw his breath strongly; and
the boy having done so, Mr.. W. asked him
{" Can you talk now?"
The boy, to the surprise of the jury, an
swered Immediately and glibly:
Eyes, sir, | can we'll"
The coroner added that inhalation, or self
initiation of the lungs with air, was a sure
remedy for stammerng, and though it hac
been discovered long ago, the faculty hac
not, until lately, and then only Il few of then
caused it to be practsed as "a remedy for de
iective articulation"
1t is known that stammerers can sing with
out manfesting the slightest impeachment, ane

stantly supplied with air, like an organ, il
order to produce the desired musical sounds
We remember hearing man, who stammerec
badly, called on to pray in a Methodist pray
or meeting, and were not little surprised tt
observe that he made his extempore prayer
! without once ALTERING in his uttcrance. Th'
prayer was somewhat tervid, and the petition
| er, from his state of mind, as well as his man
ner of speaking, breathcd out in all his effort
to speak.
1t is unquestionably true, that stammerint
may be prevented by carefully observing the
t directions above given. That the cure doe
) not remain is not, we think, so much detec
in the means, as failure on the part Of thu
, individual to use them long enough. Tit
}, habit Of years is not to bcovercome in weel
or a month There must be perseverance
and for many neutrality-suspicious. years.

BASIS OF Coon FARM1Sc.-Mr. Isaac
Moore, who farms one hundred and fifty acres
OF clay loan, with limestone diffused through
it, and in position land surely no better soil
could be desired than this) on Glover street.
Brighton, Monroe county, N. Y. writes us
that his usual averages per acre are as fol-
lows:
Indian C.m-75 bushels; extra Yields
so, so to 100.
Potatoes-Formerly $50 to 400 bushels /;
latterly 200
Wheot-(50 acres,) 25 to 35 and 40 bus,
rarely so.
Oets-(Llttle sown,) once 4S9 bushels
from five acres, seed ~ bushels.
Hny--2 to 3 tons; once IL tons.
These are large crops; and we are not sur
prised to learn that Mr. Moore has built the
" Glover Street Seminary" and endowed a
Professorship out Of the profits of such farm
ing. But hom he DOS it is the important
point. The natural richness of his soil is
undoubted; but a majority OF farmers on lust
such soil do not obtain half SO large crops.
Here IS the explanation
Il never sell straw this goes back in some
shape on the land. My barnyard yields me
hundreds of wagon-loads of manure what I
fail to get on to my lands in the spring of the
year, keep as bank deposit till autumn.
But clover and plaster are great fertilizers
of the soil Of Western New York. When [
SOW wheat, oats or barley, SOW ten or twelve
pounds of clover to the acre. Any farmer
who will follow this process for fertilizing need
never to go to Peru to obtain gaano. His
farm will never run down. | have cultivated
roots but little. What have done, have
found profitable. Many neighboring farmers
cultivate largely of carrots, beets and turnps

THE ORPHANS GRAVE.
Ye've laid her in lonely spot,
Yet passing well she sleepeth,
She plains not now her bitter lot,
Aye, now she never weepeth;
Nor cold dsdain she heedeth now
Deaths brushed the shadow from her brow.
And mark ye well what laid her there,
In that dark lonely spot;
More than her young, fral form could bear
OF scorn hath been her lot;
Cold Deatt' more merciful than thou,
Hath brushed the shadow from her brow.
And mark ye well what laid her there,
There in her maiden pride;
We needed not the earnest prayer,
But turned in scorn aside;
Ys need not heed that heartpaint now,
Deaths brushed the shadow from her brow.
There was not one Of all her kin,
To mourn the orphans lot;
In distant lands their graves have been
Long made, and cen forgot
Death came, more merciful than thou,
And wiped the orphans fearful brow.
