An,m.l and v.xst.ble B.rom.t.r..


The sensibility of many: animals and
plants to the varying condition of the
atmosphere is so great that a care
full study of their movements
will often indicate with certainty ap-
preaching changes in the, weather.
When storm is pending, the spider
shortens the threads of his web, and
llengthens them again when the storm is
about to pass off; careful observers even
pretend to tell how long the fine weather
will last from the degree to which the
web is extended. If the spider is quiet,
it Is q sign of rain; but when he goes to
work during shower, be sure il will
clear off. The swallow is also an infal-
lible barometer-fiying low, almost
touching the earth, and uttering low, >
plaintiff cry before a rain; but sailing
back and forth high ~ The air during
settled weather. When a violent temp
est is about to break out, he scars even
to the clouds, and adopts slow, majes-
tic motion: very different from his ordi-
nary one.
In pleasant weather the crow will at
any time leave her nest in search of
food; but, if she feels storm approach
ing, nothing will tempt her off till her
mate takes her place TO protect her
young. The peacock foretells rain by
its frequent cries, the woodpecker by its
cooings, the ,paroquet by its chattering,
and the guine fowl by its going to
roost. The. goose manifests great uDeas-
mess, planging inte the water and rap
idly returning to the land The sea-gulls
seek the shore, and are only seen far
inland in settled weather. The petrel,
on the contrary, dashes out boldly into
the midst of storm and tempest. The
chirp of cricket is sign of fair wealth
er, but the cry of the tree-toad indicates
rain. When the air is overcharged
with moisture the odor of flowers is
strong and penetrating. and in dry
weather is soft and agreeable.

The General lAssoeiation of. the Com

The General Association of the Gen.
gregational churches of Massachusetts
at its last meeting adopted the following
resolutions reported by committee of
which Rev. DIR. Chickering was chair
man: "We regret the gross and mis-
chievous inconsistency of professed
Christians who in these days of diffused
knowledge on the subject use, however
cautiously, any intoxicating liquors as a
beverage; form of selfish indulgence
whereby not only the heart and consci-
ence.' but the body, the temple of the
brother made to perish for whom Christ
died. And we earnestly request our
ministers to present from the pulpit the
Christian duty of total abstinence for
personal safety and a safe example"

RENovATING OLD ORCHARDS.-Some
time ago correspondent ofa New Eng
land agricultural paper said that he had
two farms, on each of which there was
an old orchard, where the trees were on
the decline. One of them he ploughed,
and trimmed off the old and de@yed,
branches and allowed the young shoots
to grow; and insix years he had some
quite thrifty tress. The other orchard
he did not plougq, bus turned in his
hogs in the spring, and kept them there
until late in the fall, and says he found
the advantage to his trees far greater
than anything he could do with the
plough. The hogs dug around the roots
Of his trees. and, eating the falling ap-
ples,, destroyed the apple-wOrms.

THE BEAUTIFULLAN1.


There are brighter skies than these, Know
Lands where no shadows lie
Fields where immortal nowers oloon,
And founts that are never dry!
There are domes where the stars are never dim,
Where the moon forever CLEANS,
And the music breath of the radiant hills
Sweeps over the crystal streams
For often I've caught In the time Of sleep,
A gorgeous glimps of this hidden keep
Away In the land of dreams.
When night lets down her pail OF mist
On slender cords OF air,
And the purple shadows OF dying DAY
Are teeming everywhere-
While unseen fairies chant a lay
In the lily s crimson cells,
And the solemn voice of the harmless Wlnds
Break up the dre9ry fells-
I know by the cry of my soul wltninr
There's q place where they smut the gates On
Aud the God of glory dwells!
The wall of the wind, the rivers voice,
The arch of western hills,
The beauty spread over the living earth
In slumbrous twilight stills
The yearning Of each human heart,
For holier. better cline,
A higher Life than this mortal course,
Bearing the seal divine!
All sure there m ust be q beautiful land,
Where the white robed mlInons ransomeo
CHANTING their songs sublime!

Railway.
- iPhilo.ophical Plan.
In this Seminary we have been led to adopt
the Philosophic plan of each Professor and his
class devoting their whole time and energies 10
led u this by seeing so many students
or rendered superficial, by being
require; Ia carry forward three or four studies
at the earne time. Then each Professor was re-
Quired 20 hear So many reclIations and the time
was 50 broken up IualL il was out Of the question
TO give each subject and eacn pupil the required
attention. In introducing this method, we ex-
pected 10 be able 10 make our classes much more
thorough and practical, but not only are We
ticular, but We are accom- plishing a great deal
more III the same time, as well as doing IL much
better. Ia graduating, one-third OF the time
and expense is saved, matter OF great consider
alton 10 every one. After thoroughly mastering
the Common Branches, students complete the
Scientific Course IN Two, instead of three years,
TO Algebra, two TO Geometry, and two to Chem
istry, and one month each to all the other stud
les. Our course is full and practical, and the
time allotted 10 each study enableus to do vast
ly more with il than Is usually done. We ex-
plain this on The principle, that men show the
greatest results in a given time, when they de-
vote their whole energies TO one thing. 1t has
been claimed that students devoting their whole
time to one study would become weary, but we
find instead OF this being true, that the student
having an opportunity TO concentrate his whole
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as a
result of his success. an enthusiasm is awaken
ed, before unknown in schools; the student be-
comes a genuine Philosopher in search of truth.
New Studies are commenced monthly, at which
time students can enter and remain as long as
desired Glasses for Fall and early Winter, will
be formed September l4th, October 18th, and
November 9th. A class will commence Algebra,
November 9th, and go regularly through with
Mathematics By our plan We propose to make
this more thorough class than any ever con-
Quoted ON the old system. Those wishing to
enter it, would do well TO engage roohs soon.-
The department of Music and Painting, are
now offering the very best advantages.
The Ladies' Ornamental Course Is short, but the
most practical and useful. All Is left out that
will not De practiced in woman's appropriate
sphere. And they are made SO thorough, and
such love of science Is induced that they will
carry it into and adorn every department oflife;
and not as is too frequently done, lay 1t all aside
soon as they graduate.

w. J. FLAGG, Esq, of Cincinnati, SON.
in-law of the late Nicholas Longworth,
and himself an extensive wine-grower,
having visited the vineyards of Europe,
gives us the following description of one
of the processes in the manufacture of
Burgundy"
"But there is another mode of rousing
up the slackening process, and at the
same time bringing the skins and seeds
which have settled to the bottom into
contact with the new-nade alcohol, so
tnat the latter may combine well with
the coloring matter they contain. This
consists stirring up the whole mass from
bottom to top. 1t is done twice during
the process of fermentation. 1t needs a
good ne-hours's hard work each time.
1t is done by men. 1t takes four men to
do it well. They all strip naked-naked
as Adam when he was good-and then
they 90 in-in to the wine-vat-chin-
deeI they 60 in, and there, with feet and
hands, fingers andtoes, stir about, and
mix the liquid that was getting clear
with the pomace that was depositing
itself, and @
snake the Cruel thick and slab,
And Ikea hell-broth bell and bubble"
The nice, sweet Bordelais man only
puts his foot in it; but the Burgundian
goes the whole figure It is done to give
the wine full body, They call it fer
menting on the skin. He who explained
all this to my astonished mind avowed
it with the simple frankness of q Feejee
cannibal who admits his fndness for
what he calls long pork But the Feejee
people are only heathens."
