treat 10 many morning callers the
thought that they must in ten minutes or
quarter of an hour rise up and take
leave is n dreadful bugbear it weighs
down their conversation, keeps them
from entering into any wider subject than
than the weather, for fear of missing an
opportunity, and communicates itself to
the hostess, who does all in her power to
give them the occasion they require. But
when the time comes that the visit may
be naturally concluded they are unable to
make up their minds to go ; they feel as
if something had been unsatisfactory, and
they dash recklessly into fresh subjects,
in the hope of leaving better impression.
Such visits are misery to both parties ;
the most equally minded hostess may
well lose her self-possession, as she sees
the ill-concealed anxiety of her vis-a-vis,
the longing looks towards the door, the
wavering attention and random an
swers.
In such cases it would be n true boon
could some formula be adopted for giving
these unhappy callers their congo, could
the Introduction of some recognized topic
give the signal of release, or the arrival
of another guest be an established form
of dismissal to the first, unless a marked
request invited them to remain. For the
appearance of fresh set Of visitors is of
no help to the callers, who cannot get
away, and only increases their sufferings.
They look furtively at each other for
counsel, and the effort of rising and say
ing goodbye is increased by the larger
audience.
We know friend who has been reduc-
ed to the unusual expediept Of seising a
hesitatipg visitor by the hand and saying
warmly; "Well, goodbye, am very
sorry you must be going so glad to have
seen you !" etc., meanwhile skillfully
plotting the guest towards the door, and
leaving him very little to do but to 60 out
Of it. This coup do heatre is magnif-
cent when well done but there are very
few people who dare attempt it.

SOULS IN BEASTS.
Is There a Future State for Animals
Their PremOnitions of Death-Burial
Scrvices-SuicIde.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
There are those who believe that divine
Justice absolutely requires that God
ture life for all the wrongs they suffer in
this One author, Rev. John Brown, de-
clares that there is another world for
animals. There is no doubt but
that many animals recognize in their
declining powers the approach of death.
The dog retires to quiet sequestered
spot to die. 1t is matter of general be-
lief that they seek the most sequestered
spot, the most hidden thicket, where, un-
noticed and alone, they can quietly lie
down to eternal sleep. Shrimps and
prawns withdraw under stones to die,
thus showing n wonderful premonition
of death even among the lower orders
! The poet Cowper beautifully illustrates
this idea in lines that are inscribed on the
front Of the Memorial Church ut East
Dereham, in Norfolk
| 81 was stricken deer that left the herd
Long since. With many an arrow deep mixed,
My painting side was charged when | withdrew
! To seek Tranquil death IN distant shades
The llamas of South America have reg
ulnr cemeteries in which they retire to
die, and the bones are found bleaching in
great numbers.
Animals recognize approaching dissolu,
ton in other animals, without question.
The dying whale is Mt once set upon by
the shark tribe The aged buffalo of the
plains, sick or starving, cannot deceive

carcass. The vultures Of the Himalayas
gather to the number of twenty or thirty
about the dying calf, and composedly
await the dissolution that they may fatter
on his carrion.
Animals recognize death in others with
out doubt. They make as it were, reg
ular diagnosis of death. They may hav,
been fooled before, but old animals show
an especial aud peculiar solicitude anC

contempt or indifference. The she-bear
says Honzlnn, makes use of process o
experimentation to ascertain the death o
her cubs. She offers them food, leave
and calls them; touches them with he
paws and finds them cold, rigid, motion
less, Indifferent. She makes use of obser

The next reunion of the army of the Poto-

Notes

We have had much experience in haul
ing and spreading manure in winter, upon
frozen ground, and upon snow, and where
the land j. fairly level, We can recommend
the practice very highly. Manure does
not waste when it is frozen, and very lit
tie any way in cold weather, except by
being washed away from steep side hills
1t is great help in forwarding spring
work to have the manure drawn and
spread in winter, and it is much less dam
aging to the land to draw it while the
ground is frozen. When spring opens,
and the ground is settled, the manure
may be worked in with a cultivator OF
disc harrow without ploughing. By these
means, the ground will be in order early

Trimming apple Trees.
IFrom The Massachusetts Ploughman

from the Massachusetts Ploughlnan.
Those who did not finish trimming their
apple trees before Christmas, have had
had but little opportunity to do it since
the rough cold weather Of the last half of
December and most of Janaury, has driv.
en- the orchardist into business that would
keep him warmer, than would the werll
of trimming trees. Sometimes there are
pleasant days in February when this work
can be comfortably done when there are
they should be improved, because if the
work be left until March, the sap begins
to start, so that when large limb is cut
off, it is kept so wet by the running sap,
that it is difficult to cover the wound with
anything that will stick, thus leaving it
exposed to the changes of the weather
until the leaves begin to open /; then it
could be covered, but as n rule, if not
done when the limb is cut of, it is neg
lected until decay commences. when it is
too late to prevent serious injury.
While it is no doubt best to cut off all
large limbs from fruit trees at n season
when the sap whl not flow from the
wound there is no doubt that tree can
be trimmed at any season, without seri-
GUS injury, if particular efforts be made
to cover the wounds with some water
proof material, az soon as the season ar
rives when it can be made to adhere tC
the wood. 1t would be better to trim at
the most unfavorable season, if good care
be taken to cover the large wounds, than
to trim at the most favorable season, aGd
neglect to protect the wounds made by
cutting off large limbs.
To trim trees we'll, requires both pa
tience aud skill especially when it be
comes necessary to cut Off large limbs
To saw them off ard let them split down
when two-thirds cut of, is to make 4
wound that will require years to heal. il
ever it does. When large limb is to bt
cut of, it should first be cut or sawed
from the under side, thus preventing il
from splitting. When the limb is off
sufficient time should be spent to smootl
off the wound with sharp pairing chisel
so that when the wound begins to hea
the new wood win begin at once to covei
it, but if it is not pared OF, it will take
years for the new wood to grow up to tho
edge of the wound.
