WEEKLY ARG IS.
FrIghtiuI SuGerings of japanese Crew.

The Emma Utter arrived in San
Francisco lately bringing a statement
made by Capt. Nelson, master of a
British bark, which des&ibed an en-
counter he had with a phantom ship
on the Sd of August. He says on
that day he was in latitude 81 deg.
north, longitude l67 east, with light
winds, when a hulk was discovered
drifting in a southeasterly direction,
dismasted and with signals flying.
He bore down upon her and an off
Ger was sent aboard, who found that
she was the japanese junk Coke Gu
man, bound from Hakadde to Yoko-
hama, and that she had left the former
port on the 9th of December, 1875.
Her crew at that time consisted of
twelve men, but two of whom were
alive. They were removed to the
English bark, and everything posi-
BILE was done for them. One of the
men was entirely helpless, being
nearly dead with the scurvy, while
his companion, although not so bad,
was still in a deplorable condition,
and was barely able to climb aboard.
The wretched men had been drifting
more dead than alive for six months,
and as one by one of their compan-
ions had succumbed to that fearful
disease, the scurvy, they had been
salted and slowed away in the hold,
which emitted horrible stencil. At
the time they we're found they had
been without the means of making a
fire for some time, having used eve
rything that was available for that
purpose long before, and were sus-
tanning an existence with nothing
bptdry rice and what fish they caught.
Their supply of water had been ex
hausted long ago and they we're oblig-
ed to depend upon what they could
save wheneverit rained. The wretch
ed survivors would ere long have
perished as did their fellow sufferers,
and the fate of the vessel would in
all probability never have been
known but for this timely discovery,
for even if the men had been able to
sustain life in such horrible manner,
still the vessel would have soon gone
to pieces, as she was a complete
wreck. Her bottom was literally
covered with sea- weed and barnacles
and she was Fast falling to pieces.

A PERMANENT HoME.-To have a
home which man has himself reared
or purchased-which he has improv-
ed or bcautified-a home indeed, which,
with honest pride and natural love, he
calls his owns an additional security
for any mans virtue. Such a home he
leaves with regret; TO it he gladly re-
turns. There he finds innocent and
gratifying pleasures There his wife
and little ones are happy and safe and
there all his best affections take root
and grow. To such pair, as time
advances, the abode of their early and
middle life, when Ithey have perhaps
all departed, becomes constantly moro
dear for it is now q scene Of precious
memories-the undisturbed declining
years And say-what lapse Of time,
what varied experience Of prosperity,
or sorrow, can ever cfiaoo the good i'm
preston made by such home on tho
tender heart of childhood TO the
tempted youth, to the wanderer from
virtue, to the sad victim Of misfortune,
such remembrance has often proved
strengthening monitor or a. healing
balm. Nor can this kindly influence
wholly fail 80 long as the dear objects
Of that familiar scene retain a place in
memory, connected, as they insepara-
bly, are, with thoughts of fathers
counsel, a mothers tenderness, sisters
purity and brothers love.

TALKING TO HoRsEs.-Horses can
not understand our language except so
far as il is associated with action. To
teach colt to stop we must first pull
on the halter or bride and then
say "hor" If he obeys, we should
always caress him or give him some
thing to eat, and thus continue asso-
ciating the word with the action until
he obeys readily. In the same way
we should teach him to go on, touch
ing him lightly with the whip as we
give the word if he obcys, reward
him as before, Now, the secret of
training properly lies in using uniform
langage, always employing the same
words every time you want the horse
to do certain thing. This ambiguous
use Of language is prevalent fault.
How frequedtly we see a man get into
saddle or buggy, gather up the lines
or rcins, give his horse cut or two
with the whip, and say, "Come here"
And again, when he desires his horse
to change from trot to walk, hc
will say "hop p or if he wants him TO
quit gnawing at post, pulling at tho
halter, or to reprove him for shying,
and for a dozen other things, he uses
the same word "ho" This common
FAULT with most men; they talk too
carclessly in training their horses, and
in managing them. Be uniform in Ian
guage. Select different word or sig
nal for every command, and always
use each IN its proper place and no
other. This would abolish, in great
measure, the abominablc jerking, pull
ing, whipping and otherwise abusing
this noble animal.

FALL PLANTING.

lN''h" ttN tfeiei 'Niiail
The question is often asked, when
is the best time TO plant fruit trees 2
We answer, that upon all soils suitable
for an orchard, the Fall is the best time.
The Fall is season Of comparative
leisure with the farmer, and ample
time is afforded him to prepare the
ground thoroughly, and to dig the holes
Of large size, and to prepare the work
in the most perfect manner. In the
Spring thousand jobs are pressing on
the farmer, all demanding his immedi-
ate attention, and the orchard is usu.
ally deferred TO the last, when every
other crop would suffer less by the
delay. 1l I ff
IL q tree is planted in tho Fall, the
earth becomes firmly settled around
the roots before Spring and if the
weather should prove, as il frequently
does, warm in February aud March,
young roots will be formed, often three
inches long; and il the planting is de-
laycd until Spring, after these roots
have put out, they are broken Oft and
lost In the act Of removal from the
nursery, and consequently SO much Of
the vital energy Of the tree is lost in
the effort ofnaturc TO repair the injury,
If planting is delayed until Spring, il
is almost always put off until a late
period after the buds have considera'
bly, swellcd and many Of the fibrout
roots have put out these then become
dried and many of them are lost, and
from the dry weather that frequently
follows, causes the death Of thousands
Of trees annually.
In Fall planting, if the soil is dry
and porous, as II should be, the ground
around the tree may be left level bu,
II tho sub-soil is Of o wet, retcntivt
character, tho earth should be raised
two or three inches around the trunk
Of the tree, TO the full diameter Of the
hole, In order TO turn the excess Of wa
ter from the roots. N' ~ ''h
Trees should not be removed from
the nursery until sufficient frost has
occurred to entirely suspend vegetation
and tho leaves have mostly fallen.

ECCL ESIAS1ICAL HISTORY or
THE CANDIDATES.

An exchange publishes the follow
ing: Governor Hayes was brought
up in tho Presbyterian faith by on un-
clio on bis mothers side Of the house
but 1t appears he did not adhere close
ly to it, as he now, although not
member, attends the Methodist Episco-
pal church with his wife, who is in full
communion. Governor Tilden is
Presbyterian from conviction, and is
member Of the Madison Square Church,
in Now York city, until lately under
the pastoral care Of the Rev. DR.. VIM.
Adams. Governor TIlden does not, like
Governor Hayes, 90 TO church with his
wife, one reason being that he is still
unmarried. Mr.. Wheeler is o member
Of the Congregational Church at Ma
lone, N. Y, the place of his nativity
and residence. He accompanied his
wife as long as she lived to the same
Church, but he has bcen'a widower for
a short time. Governor Hendricks is
the son Of u Presbyterian elder, and
has some relatives in the ministry of
the Presbyterian church. He was
reared in the Presbyterian faith, as
might be expected, but his wife being
an Episcopalian be has thrown aside
the Confession of Faith and adopted
the Thirty nine Articles.
1t will thus be seen, If the history is
full and complete, that Wheeler and
Tilden are the most stable churcbmen.
Neither Of them has ever changed his
but each one abides in the
faith in which he was raised in youth.
But Gov. Tilden is not entitled to any
credit for remaining steadfast to the
faith Of his fathers, for he had no wife
10 turn away his heart from the princi-
Piles in which he was trained in early
life. Hayes and Hendricks have both
lapsed from Presbyterianism, and we
do not know how the churches will
view their apostasy.
