to consider his resignation and the
action of the church in regard to
the same. The result is expressed
in the following resolutions, nnani-
mously adopted:
!. That, in view of the unanimi-
~ of the call from another field Of
labor and the strong conviction OF
the pastor, after a prayerful consid-
Grafton of the same, that il is his
duty to accept it, and the cheerful
acquiescence in his decision by the
church and society, we advise the
dissolution of the pastoral relation
that, for more than twelve years,
has so tremendously existed between
Rev. w. s. Palmer and this church
and society.
9. That we tender to brother
Palmer this expression OF our heart
lest confidence in the evident SINGER
ity and prayeri'nlness of his action,
and our atfectionate esteem for him
as a christian brother; that we most
cordially recommend him as faith
Iul, wise and successful worker in
the gospel that we rejoice with him
in the abundant fruitage Of his la,
bors in this place, and express the
hope that the Great Head of the
church will be pleased to employ
him in labors yet more abundant
and in the gathering of richer har-
vests in his new field of labor.
3. That, while we rejoice in the
remarkable unanimty Of this church
and society in so generously sup
porting and heartily cooperating
with their pastor in all the years of
his labor with them, we deeply sym.
pathize with them in their loss and
fervently pray the Great Head of
the church to speedily give them
another pastor, and bestow upon
them even greater blessings than
they have heretofore received.

AN EASY REMEDY FOR STAMMER-
ING. Mr.. Editor while lately in
conversation with an aged and
worthy man, Dea. Israel Cummings,
he informed me that, when young,
he was a great stanmerer and being
that it was not owing to any
of his organs of speech,
he applied himself to dilligcnt
search for the real cause of the trOu-
bic; and became thoroughly con-
vinced that it consisted in the fact
that he had fallen into the habit of
trying to articulate words while IN
haipg, as well as in eXhaling his
breath; and that the StammeriDg
always occurred in the act of taking
breath.
He, therefore, began by himself.
the practice Of speaking, at first, in
a whisper, and deliberately, the
words he was wishing to utter. only
while breathing out, from full lungs;
and strictly guarding against the
contrary practice; and soon found
it easy and pleasant TO do so. lie
then proceeded to louder words and
free conversation most carefully
pursuing the same method; and
found, to his great satisfaction, that
his old difficulty had vanished and
that he could converse witt free
lon and correctness which he had
feared he never should enjoy and
The cure has been enduring, up to
he age of over three score and ten.
A recipe, he says, similar to this,
has since been sold, about the
for several dollars, to each
person buying it; but thistle freely
,ices !; feeling that it is well worthy
If the serious consideration, and
aithful trial of every stammerer.
