A NOVEL ExPERIMENr.-Av very odd
suggestion is preached by correspond
ent Of Prot. Tyndall. AS there is diff
ference of opinion about the utility of
PRAYER in general, and particularly in
prayer for the sick, he proposes to bring
the matter to practical test He wants
to have single ward or hospital where
those diseases, the mortality rates of
which have been most accurately de
termined, are treated by skillful physi
clans and surgeons, set apart to be spe-
cially prayed for by the whole body of
the faithful, for given term of years
say three or'five AT the end of this
term the death rate could be compared
to that of former years, and also with
that in other wards and hospitals of the
same grade for the same, period, and
thus it could be seen whether the pray
ing had any effect or not. Prof Tyn-
dali himself seems to think the idea not
a bad one, as he says it is desirable to
have clearer notions than we now pos
sess of the action of Divine Providence
in physical affairs

proved fatal. Though this was not APP

LUcERNE,

Of this variety Of the cloyers we fear
we dwell too long-but many farmers,
at our suggestion, last season entered
into its cultivation, and we know, from
the many inqur relative to seed the
mode OF culture, &c, that the cultiva-
ton OF it is to be greatly increased this
spring. First and foremost, then. we
must say, that we would not advise
any to make the attempt unless they in
tend to do full justice to its require
ments, otherwise they will make fail
ure OF ia plant that will stand cut
ting three OF four times in a" season,
yielding larger quantity each time
than almost any other of its family, and
that will last from seven to ten wears, it
stands to reason must require strong
food, and be well established through
thorough cultivation in the plant bed.
In one of the back volumes Of the i
naeracdse Farmer, we published the fol
lowing statement of what come under
the personal observation of the editor :
"On the 10th of May last we saw lucer-
ne grown on lawn ranging from IL to
IS inches in height; the seed was origin
ally sown or 7 years ago, in conjunc-
ton with lawn grass seed, and notwith-
standing it has been thus disadvanta
ssous'y cultivated; it still holds its own
tolerably well, though, as it was reason
able to expect, lis uncogenial neighbor
has gained pretty much the mastery. :"
We believe the owner of that lawn on
