How TO Cheek Coughs, sneeze., &c.

DR.. Brown SeQuard, in his last Boston Lecture,
says that there are many facts which show that
morbid phenomena of respiration can be also
stopped by the influence of arrest. Coughing.
for instance, can be stopped by pressing ON the
nerves un the lip in the igtlb rhood uf.the nose.
pressure there may prevent cough when it is
beginning. Sncezing may be stopped by the
same mechanism. Pressing in the neighbOrhOod
of the ear right in front of the ear, may stop
coughing Ii is so also Of hiccough, but much
less than for sneezng or coughing. Pressing
very hard ON the top of the mouth inside is also
a means Of stopping coughing. And / may say
that the will has immense power there. There
was a French sergant who nsed to say, whenever
he entered the wards of his hospital, 'The first
patient who coughs here will be deprived of his
food to-day" 1t was exceedingly rare that
patient eongted then.
There are many other affections assOciatcd with
breathing which can be stopped by the snme me
chanism that stops the hearts action. In spasm
of the CLOTHS, which is terrible thing in chill
dren, as you well know, it sometimes causes
death, and also in whOoping cough, it is possible
to afford relief by throwing cold water on the
feet, or by tickling the snles of the feet, which
produces laughter, and at the same time goes TO
the gray matter that is producing the spasm and
arrests il almost at once. / would not say that
these means are always successful | would not
say that we can always prevent cough by our
will; but in many Instances those things are pos
sible; and if you remember that in bronchitis and
pneumonia, or any othor acute affection of the
lungs, hacking or coughing greatly increase the
trouble ut times, yOn can easily see how impOI-
tant it is for the patient to try to avoid coughing
as best he can.

Plan, sugar Orchards.

/ have been thinking for number of years,
and with good deal of interest on the impor-
lance of the sugar maple to the inhabitants of
Vermont, and to the northern States in general.
Sugar will always be deemed a necessity, and if
We have the means of producing good article
with little labor, it wonld be the height of folly
to let the chance slip, through Incidence or mis-
calculations. Twenty or thirty years ago, re-
GREETED, very mnch, to see the maple trsrs of the
primitive forests disappearing befure the axe for
fuel and other purposes, but have since learned
that they may more than be replaced, and that
the day of maple sugar has but just begun, if the
farmers will only have it so.
Sugar orchards of second growth trees are so
far better, and more profitable, than old ones
From one TO three acres of land is all the farmer
now needs 90 supply his family with this neccs-
sary and agreeable article. Some rocky or stony
side-hills, (not to steep, having an aspect TO the
east Or south,) well planted with sugar naples,
will in ten years, be worth more for the above
indicated purposes, than any other three acres
on his farm; besides, II may, at the same time,
produce fair crop of feed
The oltfit for fitting Sp good sugar works of
lasting materials, cannot be very EXPENSIVE. and
when once done, and we'll taken care Of will be
an entinvestment. II our fathers could find
IL profitable to manufacture sugar. when they
were compelled to dig ont troughs from pine
logs and boil in fve-pail kettles against logs in
the woods, VIC certainly, with our present appli-
ances and improvements, have no excuse for neg
lectiug the means so obviously within our reach.
A good share of neatness, and little skill, will
enable us to produce as good an article as can be
obtained from the cane or the bee. These con-
sderatious, and many more that might be adj
duced, should stimulate us to make the most of
our own resources, andI much regret that | have
not the power to arouse the attention of the land
owners of this northern section of country to the
great Importance of this subject. But i will do
what can, and hope that some ADLER pen will
take up the subject, and pursue it in a manner
commensurate with its importauce.-Cor. Neu

A Terrible Prcdicament.

OWE dark night the darkness of which was
Tgbtsd Nv the moon, the inmates of quiet farm
house in AYRSHIRE were startled by piteoas cries
from a little stream running past the foot of the
buae on which the homestead stood. Out ran the
gudewife in haste, thinking that the voice was
not unfamiliar; and when she got TO the burn,
there she saw her ain gudeman, who had just a
little too much of John Barleycorn, on all fours
in foot of water in which the moon was bright
ly reflected. "Gudesake, John, ye gonk, what
are We doing there, standing like an old fule in
that mannerp ooh, woman, Jenny, is that
ysnf Pm glad to see ye for haze gotten aboov

SLEANiNG Rusty PLows.-The following is

plows: Take aquartof water and pour SLOWLY in

slowly into the water, rather than the water into

wash It again. The object lie to give time for
the acid to dissolve the rust. Then wash with

When you go to pillow, take bottle of acid TO

that may remain. The acid and the securing of
the earth will soon make it perfectly bright and

petroleum as soon as we put our tools imple-
