Lou. City Gazette. $ Woasurlnfj Corn.
The following rule for ascertaining the
Quantity of shelled corn, in a house of
huv dimensions, is by imam .uurraj .
Esq., of South Carolina, ami was read before the St. John's Collection Agricul
tural Society, and communicated by them
for publication in the Southern Agncultu riit.
"Ruts. Having previously levelled
the corn in the house so it will be of
equal df pth throughout, ascertaining the length and breadth and depth of the bulk; multiply these dimensions together, and their products by 1, then tut qjf one Jig-

nh', will gie no many bushels and e
sc. ignt'.o gratify his wishc3 10 every re
spect, and by so doing injured htm, and eventually brought sorrow upon themselves. Once when his teacher corrected
him, he said to one of his school-mate.
I don't mind getting punished if 1 can
have mv own way. 1 am determined to do so again the first chance I get,"
One day when he returned from school, he told his mother he was going to ride ou Mr. D's. horse. Mrs. Hayden knew the animal was unmanageable, and re
quested him not to go. I indmg hr ar
guments inelleclual in convincing Henry that it would be dangerous for him to at
tempt to manage the hotse, she told him
lie must not go the stable. But ho paid no attention to her command'. The hosiler helped him to mount the horse,
and rode round the stable ddlighted with his achievement. He then passed the house in which ho lived, and in order to display his skill in horsemanship to his mother, he struck the horse. This t nraged the fiery animal. He reared and threw his unskilful rider upon a pile of stones that lay in the road, and wai out of sight in an instant. There laid Henry Hayden. senseless. The blood was (lowing profusoly from a deep wound in his fore
head. He presented a ghasuy spectacle. Several weeks passed before he had an interval of reason. His parents watelud his bedside with their hearts wiung with the keenest anguish. In his delirium his thought dwelt upon the scenes and
events winch hai ueveio,.d hi unstnia-
ble traits of character. Thad my way,"
was more than once unconsciously uttered
by him who was to suffer the penalty for
doing wrong during his life.
Four months passed, and Henry Hay
den entered school. He did not appear
as he'd formerly done, prompt in his les
sons and supeiior to his school-mates.
No. He knew not a letter in the alphabet His brain was iniuied. After try ing se
veral months to tesch him to say his let
ters, lhe instructors gave up in despair
It was then evident that he was an idiot
for life.
Two vears after this afflicting event,
his wretched parents left the homes of
their childhood and removed to lhe tar
west. I have not heard from them since
Before this sad accident Henry was a
very interesting child. Those who S3W
him were delighted with his intelligent
countenance, and bright, penetrating eye
But oh! how sad the change! It was
painful to sec the large scar which deformed his forehead, and it would have
made your heart ache to observe the idiot itb whirh lie stared at his old
friends and plav-mstes.
This is a trite history of one who was bent upon "having his own way." O, my young friends, take warning from the ,! fatftpf Hpnrv Havden, We know

over his books, out ol tear ot you
would have been well and meny now; I know he would.' The schoolmaster looked around upon
the other women, if to entreat some one among them to say a kind word fir him, but they shook their head-, and murmured to each oilier that they never thought that there was much good in learning, and that this convinced them. Without saying a word in reply, or giving them a look of reproach, he followed the old woman who had summoned him, (and had now rejoined them,) into anoth- . ..... i ,

The schoolmaster look a seat beside hi in, and stooping over the pillow, whimpered His name. The boy sprang up, stroked his face with his hand, and threw his wasted arms around his neck, crying out that he was his dear kind friend. I hope I always was. I meant to be, God knows,' said the schoolmaster.
Who ii that?' said the bov, seeing
