RENEWING OLD GRAPE VINES.

Many persons have large ill-shaped vines
clamhering over arbors and trelises, which they
would like to bring into better shape and more
fruitfuness; but they don't know exactly how
to do it, Thsro are several ways: First, lay
down good vigorous cane on each side of the
main trunk, burying IL for two feet or more in
length, with six inches of dirt. In one seasou,
or at most two, these canes will be firmly rooted
when the old stump may be grubbed up. The
new ayered plants may afterward be trained ac.
cording to any OF the received methods.
Another would be to retain the old root, but
to change the top by degrees. Cut out in the
fall one-tourih of the large canes on one-haf OF
the vine; train up the handsomest new shoot
that pushes during the summer; and in the fall
cut all others on that side of the vine. This
shoot retained is to form n horizontal farm for
training up perpendicular canes from. Next
yenr proceed in the same way with the other
side Of the vine. Tnis work of renewing the
vines ought to be done gradually, aud extended
over period Of four or ii, years since. it the
old canes are cut AWAY at once. the new growth
will be long iointel aud sueculeut, and poorly
fitted for good horizontal arms.

HAVE ANIMALS REASONING Power Prof.
Agass2 in n leotarc in Boston on the elephant"
slld alt is iavorte saying that men nre
governed by reason and animals by instinct ;
but believe that is all wrong. There is no
distinction Of kind between the two, but only of
degree.
"As we come to the higher animals, we find
the brain larger in proportion to the size of the
body But this does not prove different kind
Of activity of these parts, but only different in-
tQusity.
Nov let us see if there is any difference in
the mode of action of the brains OF men and ami.
mails Every sensation, TO be felt, must produce
reaction, All animals see, hear, smell and
taste as well as we do therefore the reaction
must be the same, and the operation, as far as
the body is concerned, is the same Next, our
perceptions influence our actions through the
operations of the mind and in the animals the
same influence upon their action is to be seen
here, again, is perfect similarity. Although the
difference Of the intensity of these actions may
be great in different animals, yet the principle is
the same
"Ihe animals crafty their appeliies, and so dc
we, and in the same manner For instance
everybody has seen dogs playing only for the
pleasure of playing, just as men do And what
right have we to assume that the motive which
Influences them is not the same as that influences
them is not tie same as that influencing us
Again. animals have memory, just as we have
and they Gun trace the connection between cause
and effect; aud this is reason.
But will go further; only mind can com
manicate with mind aud if animals had no mine
We could have no intercourse with them. Ami
mas can be trained, mud this proves the existence
Of reason n connection seen between cause an,
effect The means oil training animals are th'
same as those employed for training children
certain sounds are used as signals. This sup
poses perfect logical process, tracing the 81.
quencc of effect from its cause"

YOUTHFUL PaoDIGY.-There recently died
IN MOntrose, n D., a lad named Alexander Miller,
whose ieais as "a calculator astOnished all who
were acquainted with him, and many sought to
KNOW the boy in order to put his powers to the
test, The gift was natural one, for Alexander
III his earliest years showed remarkable facility
~ mentally solving arithmetcal problems. For
Tue gut OF II marble or detaced postage stamp he
would calculate the number Of hours, minutes,
ana seconds one had lived almost as quick as
thought Some gentlemen, who tried him with n
question OF this kind, while they worked it on a
s,a'e, thought they had caught the lad tripping
MS answer was given some minutes before they
Voulu compute the amount and when the results
were compared there was considerable dscre-
lany' On verfcation, however, it was found
'lal Alexander had allowed for the leap years,
winch the others had forgotten. Nor was our
nero less an adept Mt working on the slate when
VI school, for he carried off all the prizes in
M''hmelic at every examination he attended,
he had also, trom his earliest boyhOod, n knack
putting into verse any incident or subject
mentioned to him The rhymes were rough and
ruue, no doubt, but still the gift was remarkable
ioi one so young. The poor boy had been iu
uehcate health for some months past, having twt
Ut 'htee fits daily, but he retained his gift o
9aleulatlon up to the day of his death. He wa
gentle and aifcctiouatc in his manners, and ,
great iavorite with all who knew him. Thougl
generally refusing to display his gift withou
some little qan pro quo, Miller could not lie calet
Heely as he was ever ready TO share his ac-
4ulsluons with his companions. Thus one ha

CLERICAL BLuNDER AT a FuNERAL.-A
angular case occurred at funeral recently in
cue OF our towns of Midllesex county, Mass. A
young, unmarried Indy dying suddenly, n clergy
man was invited from abroad to ofliciate at her
nu'lal. Having no acquaintance with the de-
ceased and her relatives, the usual information
pu p these points was given him; but by the
moauest misconceptiou of existing facts, the re-
,td 'erend gentlemen in his long prayer" turned
@ .le maiden into wife, mother and grandmother,
suu duplicated earnestly for the bereaved hus-
1ana, children and grandchildren As no one
Jared to stop him while praying, for the purpose
~ setting him right, the effect of his language on
@ le father, mother brothers and sisters and of
her near relatives was distressing, and on the
Large audience ludicrous. After the amen was
pronounced, the conductor of the funeral told
e. .le minister of his "awlul blunder," which in
sseu'eence syece naturally put him into no enviabe
Hahe Of mind, while it did nothing towards
mendlng matters. The mother of the girl, we
ase told, desired that he should go over with the
service again, and pray according to circum-
sauces" This, however, was not done, and
Mnaout further remarks the meeting was dis
missed. 1t was universally conceded, that either
'ae minister should have been better "posted,
Vt more mindful of his instruction.

John Minor Bolts, whose residence has been
passed on the march Of our troops His persc-
cution BY the leaders of the Southern Con
iederacy, eliminating in his eight weeks i'm
prisonmcnt in the old Libby prison, has not
diminished his rotuulity of figure the bright
ness OF his keen grey eyes, the briliancy OF his
wit, and lastly and not least, his firm and un
compromising iilelty to the Union. His planta-
tion, which he purchased in February last, com
prises something over two thousand acres. His
dwelling, in size, il in keeping with the place,
with an immense portico, with high and massive
pillars, wide-spreading and well-shaded lawn,
and liew of the surrounding country extended
and picturesque. His family consisting of
three grown-up mud accomplished daughter and
son, lived with him. Rebel cavalry have been
encamped on his ground most of his time for
months past. 1t is well known that he is now
enjoying his freedom through favor Of n parole
granted by the rebel authorities. This, Of
course, places him under restraint in telling
many things he might otherwise tell but nothing
has thu far, and nothing he says, will prevent
in the future his telling his hostility to the Con-
iederate Government and adherenGy to the policy
aud principles of those seeking to preserve the
Union. He persistently says he will not violate
his parole, but he says he wishes our generals
knew half he knows about the rebels ami their
resources and intentions. Ten days ago he
