-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. Chse at
telitton was oh en ty an appreciative ail

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

Whe,n a vertical Metal pipeis frozen,

'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

the sides heavy enough to make it
quite :stiff. Apply a 'funnel' at one

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

whO'. iire troubled with frozen pipes'
shoidd procure a few feet of the rub

a large pipe as fora small one, only

Amd - unt of Seed.
'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 <he
- keit near a stove .or where the air is
sutilciently warm to invite germina—
tion. If the seeds do not germinate'
in a reasonable length of time it is
sensible to infer that they are not
good; and on the, contrary, if they
all grow. we may be 13tire that they
are sound, and we need not fear tdi
plant them for a crop:
