ET Nature does not do her work by
chance. Every blade of grass, every flower
grows in obedience to law-one Of those
laws is that the blades on stalk OF corn
grow at right angles with the position in
which the grain 10y in the dround.
Test this by planting a row OF corn on
either side of walk in tho garden; taking
care to plant the corn with the lengthwlse
of the grain across the row, and you Will
have the blades hang in the row, leaving the
walks free of blades. 1t is a curious TACT

review of the debate on Lecompton in the
Senate, thus highly speaks of Senator lar-
LAM
In our recent notice of the Lecompton
debate in the Senate, we did not quite ex-
haust the subject. Mr.. Harlan, OF Iowa,
made an excellent speech, to which some OF
his colleagues have even applied the term
"sreat'. Mr.. Harlan is most worthy
member of the Senate, singularly unobtru-
sive for a man of his merits, and one who
never fails to meet the highest expectations
of his friends when he engages in debate.
