A $40 Cure for Stammering.

A correspondent of the american Ay-
ricaltnria asks US, first: if there is any
reliance to be placed in a certain PRO
ftssor' who advertises ''to cure the worst
cases of stammcring, or suffering for
s40'; and second, if we can advise any
remedy, as she has a son badly affected.
We will answer both questions by saying
that the secret for which the $40 is ask
ed, has long been known, though We have
had no occasion to verify its utility; and
further, that she can have the secret from
us for 81, viz: the 81 she has already
paid for the Awiculturist this year
Here it is Let the stammerer begin at
one to beat tiac for erery aoord he
utters, either in talking or reading, just
as if SINGING the words. Ii this does
not stop the hcsitancy, then try beating
time to every syllable, and Afterwards
gradually run into beating for words, and
then for sentences The beating can be
done with one foot, or with hand, or
one finger Of the hand or by striking the
finger and thumb together Thus "When

vents, (bcaD etc \ persistent course
of measuring the words until the stam-
mcrer can read and talk straight forward.
though slowly, for an hour at time,
will doubtless overcome the habit of
stammcring. We do not say that this

worst eases, where the stammering or
habit has been long established. but from
the nature of the defect, it must be great

hero IS all you Will get if you send you-

skill, and no more right to the "secrct"

Be KIND TO Your HoRsEs--The fol-
lowing remarks Of Mr. Rarey should be
pasted in the hat Of every man who has
anything to do with horses:
almost every wrong act the horse
commits is from mismauagemcnt, fear, or
excitement; one harsh word will so eX-
cite Il nervous horse as to increase his
pulse ten beats in minute. When wa
remember that we are dealing with dumb
brutcs, aud reflect how difficult it must be
!or them to understand cur motions,
signs, and language, we should never get
out OF patience with them because they
don't un!crstand Us, or wonder at their
doing things wrong. With all our intel
lect, if we were placed in the horses sit
uation, it would be difficult for US to un-
dcrstand the driving Of some foreigner, of
foreign ways and foreign language. Wo
should roecolect always that our ways
and language are Just us foreign and un-
known to the horse "a any language in
the world is to us, and should try TO proc-
tice what We could understand were we
the horse, endeavoring by more simple
means TO work ON his understanding
rather than on the diiferent parts Of his
body"

Beside the Kennebec."

They marched with Arnold at their head
Our soldiers true and brave,
To far off heights of Canada,
BY wood, and rock, and wave.
They left the scenes behind perchance
They might not see again;
The homesteads fair, the fields which smiled
With autumn's ripened grain
And forth they march to meet the foe,
The invaders course to check,
When the autumn leaves were Frightening
Along the kennebec.
On through the deep and darkcning wood,
Through bush and brake and brier,
The wolf howls round their path by day,
BY night beyond their fire.
Their camp fire where, all travel worn,
When fording lake and stream,
Chilled with the wave, with hunger faint,
They laid them down TO dream
OF those dear homes they left behind,
A dim and lessening speck,
When they marched away to Canada,
Beside the kcnnebec.
And one, brave and noble boy,
With kindling check aud eve,
Whose smiles and voice brought Light to all.
Lay down at last to die:
To die OF huugcr's gnawiug pain,
A fate that some must share,
Who closed with tears his soft blue eyes,
And heard his dying prayer.
They took bright curl from his brow -
The 'kerehief from his neck.
And laid him meath the autumn leaves,
Beside the Kcnnebec.
Within fair New England homo
Are kept those relics yet;
The story Of the stormy Past
True hearts will not forget.
a sisters love kept bright this theme,
1t passed from sire to son;
And now when winter evenings come,
And talk and song are done.
The graudsirc tells the story Ger,
With a tear he will not check,
OF the b. who died 50 long ago,
Beside the kcuncbec. L. O. p.
