THE QUESTION SETTLED.

We have been awaiting with good dea
of interest the reports Of the experiment.
which we knew would be made the presen
season to the test the practicabiity Of max
Il ing sugar ont Of the juice OF the Sorghum
The favorable solution Of this problem wal
all that was wanting to establish for thai
plant character for utility unsurpassed by
that ofany other agricultural staple. 0ur
confidence was strong in the successful issue
Of the experiments, and we have now the
qualification TO lay before our readers the
result Of one,of them 1.-THE first we have seen
lpublshed) which will give new impetus to
the cultivation Of the Sorghum in our lati-
tude. In due time we shall be able to follow
up this report with Others that will be made
by its numerous cultiyators this year, and
we anticipate such a mass of testimony Oh
this point as will dissipate all scepticism as
to the production Of Sugar Of fine quality
from this cane. We fancy that before another
twelve-months roll around il will be found to
be any thing else than the humbug which some
over,suspicious people have been ready to
pronounce it. plant that grows so luxur-
antly in Virginia as the Sorghum, and yields
sugar. molasses, provender for cattle and
seed for poultry, so abundantly-ap plant, too,
that stands the seyerest drought uninjured
after il has taken root-cannot be considered
otherwise than as one OF the most valuable
and profitable that can be raised upon a
Virginia farm. Strike out the sugar item,
and it will be immensely valuable on the
score Of molasses and prouender. Strike out
the sugar and moiasses items, both, and IT
will still be extremely valuable on the score
Of prOuender. But, taking all its uses and
products together, we ask, where is the plant
whose cultivation can compete or compare
with il in the way of proft?.
We now give the following notice Of the
first sugar-IDaking experiment that has been
tried with favorable result. The Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle says:
Sugar from The Chinese Caae.--Dr. D. Lee.
Of the Southern CuifiUator, has shown us
a sample Of one or two pounds Of we'll
graduated and well-tasted Sugar, made by
him at the plantation of Mr.. W. J. Eve, Of this
city, as the result Of his first experiment with
the juice of the Chinese Sugar Cane. This
result is the more interesting from the fact,
that scientific gentlemen in Boston have ex-
pressed the opinion, that this plant contains
no cane sugar, but grape or fruit sugar only.
DR.. Lees knowledge Of chemistry has en-
abled him TO correct this error, and demon
strate the Chinese Cane is nearly as rich in
crystallizable Sugar as that Of the best cane
grown in Louisiana.
We have received from the Hon. Y. P.
King, of Greensborough. beautiful speci.
men Of Syrup made from the Chinese Cane
and we have seen unexceptionable Syrup
made BY DIR. Carlton, Of Union Point, DR..
Lee and others.

SOAKED CORN FOR HORSES.

One Of the most successful and judicious
farmers in the vicinity of Baltimore, effects
saving of from one-third to one-half of his
corn, by soaking it thoroughly before feeding.
His method is this Two empty vessels,
hogsheads, or something similar, are placed
in his cellar. where there is no danger from
frost, and filled to the chime with ears Of
corn. He then pours in water till the recep-
tacles are filled. When well soaked, the
corn is fed to the horses, and when the con-
tents Of one cask are consumed, it is again
filled, and the animals fed from the other.
Even cobs, soaked in a similar manner, but
in pickle instead of pure water, are eagerly
deyoured by cows, especially if the usual
allowance Of salt is withheld. The corn
cob contains large quantity of nutriment,
and is by far too valuable to be thrown
away. X. +.

REMARKs.-This has become a general
practice among judicious farmers, who feed
their horses upon corn. Our estimable
friend, David Landreth ESQ.,, who keeps a
number of fine horses upon his great seed
farm, near the town of Bristol, on the Della
ware, always feeds them upon soaked corn,
and has done so for several years. He con-
@iders it a decided advantage.

PULPIT READING OF SCRIPTURE.

The great Dr. Mason is said to have once
made the remark, that i" the best comments-
tor OF the Bible is the man who properly
reads the English version" Few OF those
who sat under the ministry of this dstin.
gulshed man, would dispute his opinion.
Tradition reports his reading Of the sacred
volume to have been a marvel Of expression,
power, and effect. There was no mouthing,
no affectation, no mimickry, yet such a just
ness OF emphasis and adaptedness of tones,
such manifest comprehension Of the whole
meaning Of the inspired words, that audiences
were stirred as with the sound Of q trumpet.
We have heard a venerable minister Of our
church often speak Of the wondrous power
with which DIR. Mason would utter the rug.
ged rhymes and desperate diversions oi
Rous's Psalms; but when he had in hand the
majestic simplicity Of the authorized version,
he read with an impressyeness which made
the words seem new even 10 those who had
been familiar with them from infancy.
WHY is il that there are now 50 lew, even
among distinguished diyines, who can thus
BY reading give to the naked words Of the
Bible all the force Of juticious commentary
Why is IL that this portion Of the Lords day
service, so important IN itself, becomes SO
dull and inefficient in practice: Some drawl
others hasten as if striving for wager
Some use no cOmphasis at all. others put il in
the wrong place. Some read all portions. whe'
ther descriptive, argumentatiye, narrative
lyrical, or dramatic. IN one and the same tone
others shun as pestllcnce the least approach

would be desecration to read Gud's Word

II is surely not because good reading i

We suppose bad reading 10 the pulpit !

tion. The preacher is so concerned abou
the sermon aud its delivery, that he forget
the duty he owes to the Word oil God, an,
reads il merely as matter Of course, quit
satisfied il he succeeds in altering it 80 dis
tinctly that all can hear. Another cause
4 wrong theory % the subject. Conscien

they are also the word Of man, written b

however grave or excellent. Their ambition
has been confined tn what has been called "a
holy tone" from which there must be no de-
parture at any time, no matter what the por.
tlOns they profess to read. Tothem the first
chapter OF Genesis or OF | Chronicles is pre-
cisely the same as the fortieih Of Isaish, or
the seventeenth of John, or the eleventh Of
hebrews, aud to be uttered in the same staid.
cautious, measured way, without any emotion
or appearance Of emotion, save that Of
solemn and sacred service. To state this
therory is to refute it.
The third and yet more common reason is
want Of due preparation. The first requisite
to all good reading, is clear and keen per-
ception OF the meaning Of what is read The
readers mind should be full Of the theme, he
should be enrapport with bis author, he should
himself feel all that the sentiments are de-
signed and fitted to convey. But to accom-.
plIsh this, the eye must be familiar with the
outward form Of the passage, and the heart
with its inward spirit. Yet very many min
listers s.do not know. when they ascend the
pulpit steps. what chapters they mean to
read and Of those who do know, very few
have done more than simply to glance at their
contents, SO as to know whether they would
be appropriate to the occasion. Whereas a
chapter, to be properly read, should be pre-.
yiously gone over at least twice with care,
SO as to iamiiarize the mind with its object,
il transitions, its pecularities, and its gen
eral tone. Any man with tolerable voice.
who will thus enter into the spirit Of chap
ter, and as the phrase is, "reaize its mean.
ing" can hardly fail to read well. He may
not defy the scrutiny Of practical elocution-
ist. but he will do what is far better; that is.
carry with him the undivided attention Of
his congregation.
And what gift. what blessing it is to be
able, simply by repeating the words Scrip
ture, to expound its meaning, to enforce its
truths, and bring the authority Of the great
God home to the hearts and consciences Of
men! Christian lateilgencer.

MUTUAL FORBEARANcE.

The kindest and the happiest pair
Will find occasion to forbear,
And something every day they live,
TO pity and perhaps forgive.
But infrmities that fall
In common 10 the lot Of all
A blemish, or sense impaired
Are crimes so little to be spared.
Then farewell all that must create
The comfort Of the welded state;
Instead Of harmony, It's jar,
And tumult, and intestine war.
The love that cheers life's latest stage,
Proof against sickness and old age,
Preserved by virtue and declension,
Becomes not weary BY atteation;
But lives, when that exterior grace
Which first inspired the flames, decays,
'Tis gentle, delicate, and kind,
To faults compassionate or blind,
And will with sympathy endure
Those evils it would gladly cure;
But angry, coarse, and harsh expression,
Shows love to be mere profession;
Proves that the heart is none Of his.
Or soon expels him il it is. tccuper.

THE ASPARAGUS BED.

!" How shall | get an asparagus bed I"
asks one of our subscribers. We will try
and give the information desired.
To begin with the beginning-the seed
may be sown in autumn or early in the
spring, in a good loamy soil. Select good
and ripe berries, put them in water, and
when slightly fermented, the seed can easily
be washed from the pulp and dried. One
ounce will grow thousand plants. Sow in
drills an inch deep, about one foot apart,
and cover with fine soil, pressed down lightly
Keep the weeds out, stir the soil often, and
thin the plants to six inches apart in the
drills. At one year old select the best and
thriftiest plants TO form your bed.
The asparagus bed should be open to the
morning sun. And il is better if protected
from the north and east, yet open to lighi
and air. II should be very rich, and OF
this, more than anything else, depends the
amount and value Of the product. Dig W
loamy, porous soil two feet deep, inter.
mixing largely and thoroughly with manure
to within SIX inches Of the top; this should
be filled with garden loan.
Then take the young plants from the seed
lbed--injuring their roots as little as possible
and carefully set out in rows two feet apart
one foot apart in the row. Then cover th,
bed two inches deep with dark-colored soil
made as by a mixture Of charcoal dust Of
muck, and sprinkle salt until the surface il
white again. This will keep down III,
weeds and promote the growth Of the aspa
ragus, which, il should be remembered
originated on the sea shore.
In autumn remove the dead stalks an,
cover the bed three inches deep with stabl,
manure TO be forked in in the spring witt
another dressing of salt. Let the stalk
grow the first and second year without cut
ting, that the roots may get well established
the third year the asparagus will be fit 4
cut, and will with similar treatment eacl
fall and spring perhaps slight addi
ton Of earth TO prevent the roots from com
ing too near the suriace--continue to yiel,
well for many years.
Remember, room, a rich, warm soil, moist
but well drained, and salt enough TO preyen
the growth Of weeds, are peculiarly bene
fetal to the asparagus plant. With these
and good care, one cannot fail to have tina
inmate Of all good gardens, an asparagu
bed. Rural NeiC Yorker.

To KEEP PicKLEs.-keep pickles only in
wood or stone ware. Anything that has
held grease will spoil pickles. Stir them
occasionally, and if there are soft ones,
take them out and scald the vinegar, and
pour il hot over the pickles that are in a
solid state. Always Keep enough vinegar
on them to cover them well. II il is weak,
take fresh vinegar and pour IL on hot. do

Chase's Speeches aWd the Attorney

After fully investigating the facts con.
nected with the robbery of the State Treas.
ury of more than half a million Of dollars.
Attorney General Wolcott, an able officer,
and devoted Republican, commenced the
proper legal proceedings, charging the defal-
cation upon. Gibson and ssoearing that he
believed his charge to be true. Mr.. VOL
colt is certainly the ablest man that has
been in the Chase administration. For
base party purposes he might have charged
the defalcation on Breslin, just as Chase,
Wright and Sparrow have been doing
But when the Attorney General makes a
charge in his official capacity, the law re.
quires that he shall s,uear to it! Mr.. VOL.
colt, therefore, had but one course to take.
The facts, as they must come legally before
