-Ro* TO READ. The following is a brief synopsis of the lecture delivered by the Bev. J. S. Stink- Ara, D. D., at the Chapel of the 'Susque hanna Collegiate Institute, on Tuesday evening of last. week : ' The lecturer noticed first the vast in crease in the dumber of published works within the last century, and even in the period embraced b 1 our own recollection. To illustrate be stated that, some years r•ince, a certain 'writer made an enumera- lion of the carious c:onirnontaries upon the Bible, and- fund the number to ex- teed 6,5,000. Hwy ranch greater now is the forte of the - oft-repeated saying of "Of making many books there Solorunit, is no end !" We must read ttitli caution. Untortu- Mtely hlueb that is published is 'not only unfit to be read, but absolutely injurious The ) - ottng must in great patt depend upon the judgment of older iniud.. In Greek litemture.tlm writings of Homer, Plato, Aescbilus, Sophoeles and Demos- thetief:, stand prominent.' It possible, they , s'loistd be read in the original. Oak es:lNS:As trawlations trsay be used, as Leer= by's and Biii:aut's • Englisb versions of llotace, Livy, Tacites, Cicero awl Virgil ai . e the bright names in the literature oflilume. The great failure on the part of many who read Greek and ta-, tin air,h6 . rs, is that they do not read uit derstowlingly. students particularly are apt to coufine their attention simply to translation and gramitraticalcOnstruction The life of the author and the e..ircum stances under which he wrote, ri'topica which have no lodgment in their minds. The render of Homer should examine the conflicting theries as to the origin of the Iliad and Odyssey, and should 'acquaint himself with, everything„ mythological and real, which relateS to ancient Troy: Turning to English literature, the Bible first t iemandssour attention, and that too on the ground of literary pre-ern - Mace; such well "of Engliihundefiled" else 'where exist, The lyric;i of David and the lofty strains of Isaial& prophecy need fear no rival. In secular verse Shaks peare, Milton and- Wordsworth lola the highest rank. Then •coma Colderidge, 'Scott. Keats, Byron, Shelley, Browning, Tennyson, and our own Bryant atidlong fellOw. among historians flume, C ibbon, 3taciitlay, Hallam and our Prescott, Mot ley awl Brancroft, are to be commended. Should one incline,to' novel reading he may_take up to Walter Segtt, the icing of Romances ; Dickens and Thackeray, whom Gusby ,and St. Barhe,.Beaconctield has satirized unreasonably in Endymion ; and George Eliot,. the woman of mascu - line mind: The names mentioned cover a broad field of literary treasure, yet one which time . and.-assiduity will enable. many-to explore. There are some genius.. es capable of reading and assimilating much larger store` .of literary 'productions. Carlyle, just died, and Macauley were vo-' racions readers. The later at a. glance would fix the contents of a page,in his un. yieldindmcmory. Ile p(issessed the . nee chanical memory, without. which no lite rary-mau eau be a:genius. This consists, in the well-nigh instinctive apprehension and - retention of facts,. ,hOwever little counccted among themselves. The logl.cal memory falls to the lot of most mortals and this, if carefully train ii; is for their needs. This kind of-Memory depends upon system, the eon nOtilin of one part with another, the de . pet:deuce of many ev'ettte, upon- one cen tral !act. The-recollection of a single in - .stinee restores the whole' train of assoei ciatO ideaF. We Must read with judgment. The readm'spwn sense-of what. ,is• right and pure-unrst'guide biM, even When readier standard works: ShaksNare• contains• objection:Me passages. ,The writhi;.s o r Ceorge Eliot afford unPleaSant surprises. Ilea:ling should be for use, not for amusement:. Life, if rightly •underilood, gives' little time fur plea Sure seeking. -tl;ome . great readers have found relaxation by changing the course of their reading, Vtssing fronttheolog:eal or legal works to history and,-if need be, to romance and poetry. :Contiratens reading - cannot but be injurious. . The Mind, how - ever vigorous, =lst at lengthjose its power. it is well to break away from -books arid study, and in:the outer air seek the com- paidonship of `'nature.' Then with Mind reinvigorated, one may - return "to his cus tomary pursuits. Ileading,without atten tiou is fruitless. The Perusal of a book should always be'a study. No book nier itreadine; unless .it also merits study: The making of written Mites is the plan followed by some readers. This requires patience, Nit amply repays the labor ex pendcd.. kore attractive and more corn-. doubtless, is it to make mental an alAC's of what onehas read. -These too, if accurato and measurably .c nuplete, leave a strong and lasthig im pression upon the m:nd. Finally we should read prayerfully. Matiy.great Men haVe proved tic pr o of 'if this injunction.. Dr. AtitiVota Al.ixtviscicr was a bright example, The lectyte v,:is delivered with :oldie au ocedsion . al reference. to - notes.

A. few days since the cook came to us with a glass can 'of peacbes, tte can of which WSB screwed on soligixt that a strong man had been unable to unscrew it. We directed that a cloth dipped lb hot water.be applitd to the outside of the cap, to cause expansion by the heat. This was done, aid it so effectually lOosened the cap that it came off wits no ef fort. We have tried this principle on many other occasions. The ground stoppers of.bottles sometimes are found immovably fast. In this case the heatiniist be applied to the neck of the bottle; so as to increase its size and leave the stopper loosen ed within it. Care should always be taken that I.he ground stopper when inserted is not colder than, ,he bottle neck, for if it is you will hale trouble. It, will expand when it' tlecomes as wirm as the bottle and be effectually fastened. In one ease when we had -employed - T a horse-power in sawing wood, the weather "being quite cold, one.orthe Workman bad occasion to takeoff a nut 'from a screw, and after fitilding it long' enough in his lid to warm and expand it, he places it again without thinking on the screw and turned it firmly down. It - con tracted in cooling with a powerful grasp, so that no wrench could stir , it, until a red hot iron was applied to the int to restore Its size. In all these attempts : Abe 00t tipace of: timg• must be -given to hqat the nut or stopper, \withont heating the paTt which it touches, which requires some judgment.' The metallic can-caps will heat sooner than the bottleneck. If the liiat is continued too long it wily become;, expanded alike, and the attempt will fail. Some years ago it became necessary to unscrew the two party of an iron pump for repair;,but the .inst held them so tightly-together C1711)ING1 :ostiveness, aaandlee, ►yspepfia, luditestton,, wysentery,Foulfqproselb . ktresth, Headache, :rysipelas, Bleu lati!an, Eruptlois and cln blisease, _ - that three men with levers could not separate them.

This neces- sitates ,pricning each, tripe before uthig,.yetit may save the annoyance dr a frozen and perhaps a burst pipe; Whe,n a vertical Metal pipeis frozen, if:it is easily accessible, Pour hot wa ter upon the pipe, and enough heat will soon •be absorbed to loosen the 1 cylinder of ice, Them pour hot water into •the tube, and when:cool-remove bv ins.erting a stick with a- !piece of 'sponge or,rags attached. Withdraw immediately - and again insert it, un til the.water is removed, when more 1 hot water should be added, and the 1 process repeated. This plan - is a slow, but safe one. In the= place of hot_ , water, - an iron rod heated at one end` may be,used. But the simpliest•tind , easiest of all plans is to use i4 - . n.lndia 1 ` rubber pipe with a bore not over a quarter of an inch ,in diaMeter and : the sides heavy enough to make it quite :stiff. Apply a 'funnel' at one end, placing., the °the!, end in tl e tube uf]tit it its upOn the ice. When hot water-is pOpred in it melts away the ice very rapidly. Press upon the tube. so that hot water may come in .direct,; contact with 'the ice. Those whO'. iire troubled with frozen pipes' shoidd procure a few feet of the rub heryipe.

'3 There is no preeiseamount of wheat to be sown per acre—no rigid, inflex ible rule to be followed any more In the application of , manure or an anti, Heist - fertilizers. Much depends up. on the soil; if it - be rich, deep and clean of weeds, the amount of seed need not be great. Mr. Meicbi, of England, advocates thin sowing he only uaing three peck's per acre; but his land is In high culture, thorough ly drained and clean of all weeds, and every grain strikes its roots deep into the b soil, finds an abundance of tscfdt lively, and soon covers the ground with a vigorous growth. There is much difference in the size of.the grains of different varieties o f . wheat, therefore, tbe smaller the" grain the greater the nimberot plants that may grow from a given amount. The end to' be - gained le to have the ground Well covered with deep root ed., well-fed, and, therefore, vigorous plants, and any , more or less seed :- than will do ,this is a poor. seeding. It is evident that' we can not give any rule for everybody to follow ou any kind of: soil under any dream staicee. Test of . Seeds. One of the most important elements to succes9 in the growing of a crop, is in the soundness of the seed. HOC: seed is poor, or if a portion of it is poor, the seeding of the crop, what ever.it may be, will be likely to be thin or scattering in a more or less degree. Other seeds will grow but they will lie so immature or weak as to produce plants that will not de , velop into a successful crop: Re planting of a crop is'rarely satisfac tory to the planter, as it causes unev. eness in-the crop and an increase in labor. For this reason w.e., advise the testing of all 'seeds,not known to be freskand sound, bfore putting.them into the ground for the establishment of a crop - The reliability of seeds may Ii; - ! easily te`sted by.placing them upon a piece of cotton placed in a common saucer containing a little warm - wa. ter to keep them 'uniformly damp and warm. The saucer- should
