From the New England Farmer,
GRANITE BOWLDERS.
a Practical WAY to Remove them.

Many ingenious theories have been
aduced, as to the time when, and the man
ner how, these fragments of granite
stones were scattered over the New Eng
land States, and many other parts of the
world.
Some biologists think they were bro't
at the time of the flood; frozen to large
pieces of ice, as we often see small stones
in the ice of our rivers. From the d.
rection of the various strata of the earth.
they argue that drift has sometimes
swept over it, from northwest to- south
east, and at that time, the powders were
taken from their parent quarries, and
scattered over the land. In corrobora-
ton of this hypothesis, is the well-known
fact that granite powders are found in
large quantities to the southeast of quar-
ries of that stone.
But it is of little consequence to the
farmer whose arabic lands are encum-
bered with these powders, whether this
or other theories be true or false. He
wants to understand a practical way of
removing them. The following is a cheap
and expeditions method of breaking them,
when large.
First, remove all the earth from around
them, as low as the bottom of the howl
der; this being done, kindle fire upon
Its top, or side, as is most convenient. In
a short time, thin scales of the stone will
be detached under the fire these must be
removed, and the fire kept burning. The
heat expanding the stone and converting
the moisture it contains into steam will
open one or more seams; now with a
sharp crow-bar, the seams are widened
by well-directed and energetic blows. and
IN short time the mammoth bowlder is
broken into pieces that may be easily re-
moved.
Ihis method is much cheaper, requires
less skill, and is less dangerous than bias
ting. Coarse and refuse wood, of little
value, may be used. Any man can dc
the work, tending from six to ten fires al
time, and will find it hard but exciting
business. Do not throw water upon the
stone tail, but keep up the fire, and you
viii not fail Of success.

SOME NOSE.
from him.

The following incident we had from a
friend who knows the parties. Deacon
Comstock, Of Hartford, Connecticut, is
well known as being provided with an
enormous handle to his countenance, in
the shape of huge nose, in fact it is re-
markable for its great length. On late
occasion, when taking up collection in
the church to which the deacon belongs,
as he passed through the congregation
every person to whom he presented the
bag seemed to be possessed with an I'M
comfortable desire to laugh. The deacon
did not know what to make of it. He
had often passed round before, but no such
effects as these had he ever Witnessed.
The deacon was fairly puzzled. The Sc
cret however leaked out. He had been
afflicted for a day or two with a slight
sore on his nasal appendage, and had
placed small piece of sticking plaster
on it. During the day referred to,the plas-
ter had dropped off, and the deacon seeing
it, as he supposed, on the floor, picked il
up and stuck it on again. But alas he
picked up instead, one of those little
pieces of paper which are pasted on the
end of every spool of cotton, and which
reads as follows: "Warranted to hold ou
200 yards" Such a sign on such a nose
was enough to upset the gravity of ever
F a puritan congregation, and we thinl
the laughing justifable.

They Call me Light Hearted.
They call me light hearted,
Oh, little they know
OF the hours I've past
In sadness and woe.
They call me light hearted,-
They judge by the smile
That sits on my brow;
Yet I'm sad all the while.
There's joy in that sadness
Icannot express;
seek i'll love it
1t comes but to bless
Then call me light hearted;
I'll never complain,
For the smile must wear
To cover my pain.

Where brisk, cool springs are not to

adapted to various other kinds Of fish
that delight in such water. In days

en- springs and streams that might be
employed in this way. In France, and
other countries of Europe, not only trout
and many other kinds of saltwater fish

very Quick time and sure enough, ev-
cry turkey in the coop began to dance,
hopping from ore leg to another, cross
ing over, balancing, chasseing-doing
every thing in short, known TO the sala-
tory art, except joining hands and turn

et says. | edicated them turkeys; and

Hereupon he turned to the audience,
and added
Wal, you've seen 1t, and seen how
natural they do it; now we want
you to yacale the room, and give them
a chance that's on the outside. There's
new customers out there a-waitin', and
if you only tell EN- outside what you've
seen with your own eyes, you'd be dom
a service to me, and give to them an
equal pleasure with what you sliaye en-
joyed.'
This was soon done; the audience re-
tired, and another took their place--in-
cluding one, however, who had been an
auditor at the last exhibition. The same
scene was gone through with: the same
feeding, music and dancing, only it was
observed that the motion Of the turkeys
was even more lively than before.
Ii struck the twice observer that Just
before the music began. man was seen
to leave the room on both occasions, and,
unnoticed he slept out himself the last
time. and saw the man busying himself
with putting some light kindling wood
under an opening beneath the shanty.
The mystery was now out. The tur-
key-cage rested over a slow fire, with a
thin tin floor and when the music struck
up the fire had become so hot that the
turkeys hoped about-first on one leg
and then on the other-and changed
positions. seeking rest and finding none,
till the fire had gone down, and they
were ready for another feed.
1t is proper TO add that the author OF
this invention was Yankee Of the first
water-tbe Orpheus Of Turkeydom.--
