IMMORTALITY OF THE LOWER ANIMALS

IMMORTALITY OF THE LOWER ANIMALS.
I shall regret TO leave, at death, the sky,
the sea, with all the changes OF their beau
tirul covering; the earth with its verdure
and flowers; but far more shall 1 grieve 10
leave animals who have followed our steps
affcctionately for years without knowing
for certainty their ultimate fate, though
firmly believe that The living principle is
never exiinguishcd. Since the atoms of
matter are indestructible, as far as we
know, it is. difficult to believe that the spark
which gives to their union life, memory,
affection, intelligence and fidelity is eva
nescent. Every atom in the human frame,
as well as in that Of animals, undergoes a
periodical change by continued waste and
renovation the abode Is changed, not its
inhabitant. If animals have no future, the
existence OF many Is most wretched ilul-
titndes are st rye J. cruelty beaten and la
den during life; many die under a barbar
Gus vivisection. l cannot believe that any
creature was created for compensated
misery; 1t would be contrary TO the attri-
butes of Gods mercy and justice. AIN
sincerely happy to ind that am not the
only believer in the Immortality of the low
er animals.-Mdry .Somerriile.

FIFTY YEARS A PAUPER.-The Troy, n.
Y, Press relates the following: "In mid
winter, some forty seven or forty eight
years ago, a man by the name of Looms
died in Pawlet, VT, after long sick ness,
leaving a wife and two children. Expens-
es Of sickness and loss of the wages for
daily labor made inroads upon the scanty
stock Of money and provisions, and the
widow was co mpelled to ask temporary as
sistance from the town. The high official
refused her request, took her little all and
threw her and the children upon the town
as paupers. In those days they were bid
of by citizens TO the lowest bidder, but
they now have "a n-house. Mrs. Loomis,
with broken heart, aud worn out by at
tending to Eer husband during his long
sickness, gave up long. cherished wishes,
and remarked that the town OF Pawlet
should not want for a pauper for fifty years.
She Is now ninety-seven or ninety-eight
years Of age, and on her last birthday made
her annual visit from the town house TO
Pawlet, a distance of one and
half miles, on foot, TO visit her old friends
and neighoors, and she laushlngly remarks
she will make good her word, having to
live only two years more TO do it. Her
children became respectable and good
housekeepers and oilen offered her a home,
but she utterly refused 10 accept their as
sistance. She had many offers of marriage,
nat refused them all, saying thai she would
not swap of the town Of Pawlet for any
man living. On making the remark that
the town OF Pawlet would not be without a
Pauper for tiny years, she said she belonged
10 family who never died short of 100
years, and the majority lived years beyond

Spring.

Spring.
Thou Of the sunny head,
with lilies garlAnded,
And bosom fAirer than the blown sea foam;
Spring, in what waste desert dost thou stay
whilst leaves await thy presence to unfold7
The branches Of the lime with frost are gray,
And all imprisoned is the croeus' gold;
Come, sweet enchAntross, comel
Though, in the soL bre wos,,
The star hath lit its crest
Tale Phosphor fronting full the wthered moon
Thy violets are sepulturcd in snow,
Thy daisies twinkle never in the sun,
Bud, winds throughout the ruined forests blow,
And silent is the doves melodious moan;
Enchautress, hasten soon.
White the country ways.
And white the tangled maze,
Loved Of the oIiip and the creeping thyme;
Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen ridge,
Cold glooms the spectral mill above the food;
Hoarse torrents stream beneath the iyied bridge,
And lghtnings strike the darkness Of the wood
Enchantress, bless our cline
No bloom Of dewy morn,
No freshly y-blossomed th5rn,
Glsddens the importunings Of sad eyes;
The day wastes drearily, through cloud and tleet
over the watered meadows And stark Naeh
The night comes down impetuous and neet
And ships and cities khivcr in the gales;
% fair enclln,ress, rise!
Arise, and bring with thee
The rathe bud for the tree,
ne healing sunshine for the trampled grass;
Loose tondrs for the boughs which bless the leaves
And shield the swallows in the rainy hours
TIE pendtnt flames which the laburnum heaves,
And faint scents for the wind-stirred lilac howerT
EnehAntress, breathe and pass.
Men knew, and kissed, Of old,
Thy garments glittering fold
Thy radiebt footprints on the mead or waste;
Earth hndled at thine Adyent-altArs burned,
And ringing oymbals babe the hearths be gay;
Bat now, in sunless solitude inurned,
Thou leav'st the world unto reluctant day.
o, haste, Enchautress, hAstel
The lark shall sing again,
Batween the aud rain,
The bro Sn bee through the flower, pastures roam;
There shall be music in the fIo1en woods,
gurgling carol in the rushiLR brook,
An odor in ths haf-unblossomed bud,
And dancing foIsloves in each forest Io1k;
Then, come, enchantreBs, comet

REQUISITES FOR A NICE LAwS.-A good
deep soil, thoroughly trenched Is inches
deep, raked down, with every stone remov-
ed, and seeded per acre with five bushels
of what Is generally termed lawn grass
seed. The mixture would make should
be 2s pounds Of clean Kentucky blue grass,
the same of red top, 10 pounds OF white
clover, and 10 pounds of creeping bent
grass to the acre. In sowing this seed do it
three different times that is, divide it in
TO three parcels. Sow first east and west,
then rake the ground lightly; then SOW
north and south, rake again lightly not
over half an inch deep, with a light steel
rake then SOW again the last third of the
seed east aud west, aud roll it,-rake no
more, but roll it-first east and west, then
north and SOUTH and then again cast and
west. l have made many a good lawn
from this system or course Of practice, and
in GO days from the seeding in spring, have
had the lawn-mower put on, and 80 days
thereafter, croquet playing has been a fea-
turc upon the lawn. ! never permit any
of the coarse grasses, such as rye grass,
sweet vernal grass, or timothy. II. n. H.

Mr.. jefferson used TO relate with much
merrment that the final signing Of the
Declaration of Independence was hastencd
by an absurdly trivial cause. Near the
ball in which the debates were then held
was livery stable, from which swarms OF
flies came into the windows aud assailed
the silk k-stockinged legs of honorable mem
bers. Handkerchief in hand they slashed
the flies with such vigor as they could COM
mand on July afternoon but the annoy
ance became at length so exteme as TO rem
der them impatient at delay; they made
haste TO bring the momentous business to
conclusion. After such long and severe
strain upon their minds, members seem
to have INDUCED in many jocuar obser-
Yation as they stood around the table. Ira
dition says that when John Hancock had
affixed his magnificent signature TO the pa
per he said "Tbere, John Bull may read
my name without the aid of spectacles ~
Tradition, also, will never relinuuish the
pleasure of repeating that, when Mr.. Han.
cock spoke Of the duty Of hanging togeth.
er, DI. Franklin was ready with his, "Yes,
VIC must hang together, or else, most as
suredly, we shall hang separately" And
this may have suggested to the portly Har-
rison-"a luxurious, heavy gentleman" as
John Adams described him-hs remark to
slender Elbridge Gerry, that when hang
ing came he would have the advantage, for
poor Gerry would be kicking in the air
long after it was over with himself French
critics censure Shakespeare for mixing buff
fponery with scenes OF the deepest interest.
But here we find one of tho most import
ant assemblies ever convened, at tho su-
prcme moment Of lis existence, while per-
forming the act which gives it its real rank
among deliberating bodies, cracking jokes
and hurrying up 10 the table to sign, in or
der TO get away from the flies.

RAISE Your OWN TREEs.-Farmers and
frut-growers often complain that the trees
they buy lack sufficient root, having been
mangled and cut of in digging, and say IL
they could only go to the nursery them
selves and oversee the digging of the trees,
they could have much better success. Now
this can be easily obviatel by purchasing
from one TO two thousand apple gratis, and
setting them out in the spring six inches
apart in rows, and the rows four feet apart;
and when three years old they can he care
fully dug, and set out Immediately after
digging. Or one or two year old trees can
be purchased, and set one foot apart in the
row, and rows four feet apart, and allowed
TO stand one or two years, and then trans
planted into the orchard. Many farmers
sons would find il pleasant, money-mak-
ing business to purchase few thousand
gratis al from only six 10 seven dollars per
thousand, and set them as above described,
and in three years time at least two. thirds
OF them would become good, saleable trees
at from fifteen 10 twenty dollars per thous-
and. An advantage that a farmer would
have who wished to set out an orchard OF
from two TO three hundred first-class trees
is that he would have his choice from
double that number, If one thousand gratis
were set.-Fruit Recorder.

A HILL OF SULPHUR.-One OF the most
remarkable deposits of native sulphur, as
yet discovered, is a grea hill composed OF
the almost pure article, found some two
years ago at distance of thirty miles south
Of the Union Pacific Railway and nine
hundred miles west OF Omaha. This mar
veous deposit is found 10 consist almost
wholly of sulphur, containing only Is per
cent of impurities. The best deposits here
tofore available are those found in Sicily.
The principal supplies for the manufacture
OF sulphuric acid come from there the de-
posts contain 35 per cent of impurities and
65 per cent of sulphur. Our western sui
phur hill, therefore, is much the most val
liable, and promises 10 become ere long Of
great importance to the country.

Not much news just now in this town.
Am sorry TO say it, but nevertheless It IL
so 1t is about the same sameness from
day TO day, week to week, and year to year,
and probably will be as long as We are
without railroad. Now would like to
ask the citizens OF the West River Valley
If they are going to set back In their
harness and see the railroad go around rs,
via Wilmington II It goes there, then
good bye 10 any more prospect OF the
West River r. r., and we will still keep
on In the same old paths of our forefathers,
hundred years ago and more-or shall
we take the relns In our own hands, and
bring the railroad up through the towns
OF Dummerston, Newfane, Townshend,
and Jamaica, and so connect with the Har-
lem extension at Manchester When that
is done, then these towns, instead OF dying
out as they are now doing (and fast, too,)
will revive, and business OF all kinds start
up, and the young men will then be oon-
tent here among their native hills Instead
OF leaving home for places where Rail-
roads, aud, consequently, business, are.

COMPOST FOR FLowERs.-In cleaning oil
the garden and flower borders, there is
more or less of leaves, litter, ETC., that must
be disposed Of in some way. Take ii and
make the basis for compost heap for the
winter; empty all the wood ashes Of the
house over 1t, as they accumulate from lime
to time save all the bones and refuse of
the kitchen, aud all the greasy dlsh-water,
and the chamber lye, and add them daily
to the heap. Gather, IT, you can, from the
blacksmith shop or elsewhere, iron filings
or scales from the hammerng of heated or
rusty iron, the parngs of horse hoofs, and,
with a little OF sharp, sandy soil, add them
TO the heap. This well mixed, in the spring,
will form one of tho cheapest fertilizers for
all kinds of flowers in the open border

Those shameless liars, poets, have repre-
sented Spring as a smiling maiden, clad in
floating draperies, scattering flowers in
proruslon in her path accompanied by sing
ing birds, and with no symptoms OF a cold
in her head. Spring, in fact, is coarse,
brawling termagant, with a scowling vis-
age, red nose, shrewish temper and a
harsh, piercing voice, who storms and rag
es, pinches your toes and fingers with her
frosts, dashes cold water in your face, drops
snow balls down your back, and is alto
gether an ill-conducted, disreputable young
woman, certainly no better than she should
be, whose famillaritles no self-respecting
person will encourage. April showers, for

shouts, groans, and mumbled prayers,
About midday, in front OF the Harrison
street colored school, q scene took place
which defies description. Perhaps one
hundred children, from eight TO fifteen
years of age, were mingled In mass OF
dancing, bowling humanity-all repeating
the same formula, all making the same
wild gestures, all using the same tone OF
voice. The giddy mass surged hither and
yon, while teachers vainly commanded,
enti eated, and implored the enthused chill
dren to come 10 their studies, but they
might as well have talked tothe wild waves
of the sea when the storin-king held his
court. Higher and higher rose the tumult,
till physical exhaustion brought relief,
alike to the perplexed teacher and wearied
