The cat and dog and children all Have bid old winter come. The wind is running at the nose, The clouds are in the shiver; By day we waat more warmer clothes, At night we want more kiver. When a ramer has laid by his crop aad the seasons have been kind and the cor? and cotton are maturing, axwJ the sweet petato vines have covered the ground, what aa ioaooeafc luxury it Is to sit ia the pia:ut in the shade of the evening, with one's feat on the banisters, and contemplate the beauty aad bounty of nature and the hopeful prospect of another year's support. It looks like that even aa Ithmaelite might thea feel calm aad serene, aad if he is iHU un? grateful for hie abundant bloesiaga, he is worse than a heathen, and ought to ee ran out of n Ohrittian't country. Every year bring? toil aad trouble aad ?ppr*~ heaiioB, but there alvayi cernei along reit and peace aad the ripe fruit* ef one's labor*. Peraimmeai and 'pottumii are getting ripe. Tbe If aj pops have dropped from the vines. Obeiauta and ohiikapina are opanlng, end walnuts are coveriag the ground. Crawfish and fvogs have gone into winter quartan. Snakes and liz zards have bid us adieu. All nature ia preparing for a winter's sleep?sleep for the trees, and grass and flowers. I like winter; not six long months of snow and ice and howling winds, but three months interspersed with sunny days and Indian summers. The sunny South is the place j for me, the region of mild and temperate climate, of lofty mountains and beautiful valleys and fast flowing streams. Tbe region where the simoon * nor hurricane ever comet, and the streams do not be? come stagnant, nor the mosquito sings his little song. I don't want te be snow? bound in winter, nor to fly from a fiery hurricane in summer; and it's curious to me that eur Northern brethren don't bid farewell, a long farewell, to Buch a country and settle down in this pleasant land. "The orioket chirrnps on the hearth The crackling fagot filet." The air is cool and lively. The family have peartened up, and everything ia lovely around the farmer's comfortable fire. How invigorating it the first chill? ing breeze of coming winter. The hun? gry horses nicker for their corn; the cat? tle follow you around ,* tho peaky pigt squeal at your feet, and this dependence of brutes upon ug for their daily food makes a man feel his consequence at be strata among them like a little king. The love of dominion is very natural. It provokes a kindliness of heart, and if a man haaa't got anything else to lord it over, it's some comfort to love and holler at his dog. I've seen the day when I strutted around among my darkies like a patriarch. I felt like I was running au unlimited monarchy on a limited scale. And Mrs. Arp felt that way, too. Some? times in my dreams I still hear the mu? sic of her familiar call, "Becky, why don't you come along wiv.h that coal hod?" 'Tie a comin', mam." "Ro sanna, what in the world are you doing; haven't you found that needle yet?" 'Tse most found it, mam." Poor thing; patient and proud, she hunts her own needless now, and tbe coal-bod falls to me. But we e till live, thank the good Lord, and are worrying through tbe checkered life as gracefully at possible. What's the use of brooding over trouble when you oan't help it ? Sometimes, when a rainy day comes and all outdoors is net and sloppy, aad tho dogi track mud in tbe piazza, and tbii c&ildrea have to be penned up in tbe house and everything ia gloomy, we get ud and look on tbe dark side, and long for things we haven't got. When the little chaps play hide and seek until they get tired, aad shore the chairs around for cars and eeginee, and look at all the pictures, and cut up all the newspapers, and turn aumxsereate on their little bed and then get reitlees, and whine around for freedtim, Mrs. Arp opens ber school and stands 'em up by the bureau to say their lessons. "Now, Carl, let me see if you oeu say your psalm. Put your haada dews and hold up your head." "The Lord is my shepherd ; I shall not want. He-he-he." "Let that fly alone, and put your hands down. He maketb me to lie down-" "He maketb me to lie down io green pastures. He, he." "Quit pulling at that curtain. He leadeth me?" "Ha leadeth me. La, mamma, yon? der comee a covered wagon. I tpeck it's got apples." "Carl, stand away from that window, j If I take a twitch to you, I'll make you look after apple wagons. He leadeth me." "He leadeth me?in tbe bouse of tbe Lord forever." "Bless my soul, if be hain't skipped over to the very eod. Where are you going now ?" "Mamma, I want a drink of water mamma, please give me and Jessie an apple." "No, sir, you shan't smell an apple. Every time I try to teach you something, 70a want water, or an apple, or go to catching flies. I with I bad that switch that's up on the clock." "I'll get it for you," said I. "No, you needn't, either. Just go on with your writing. I wish you would let me manage the children. All the learn? ing they ever get I have to ding dong it into 'em. When I want the twitch I can get it. Here, Jessie, come and say your verses." And Jeasie goes through with "Let dogs delight," like a daisy. j Oh, she's smart as a steel trap?jost like her mother. I wish you could tee Mrs. Arp's smile when some other wo-1 man comes along and narrates the smart saying of her juvenile. "Ain't it strange," say* the to me, "how blinded most mothers are about their children. Mrs, Trotter thinks her Julia a world's wonder, but Jessie Bays things every day a heap smarter, and I never thought anything about it." "Jeaso," aaya I, "children are sure to j be smart when they have a smart mother. I Taeir meaaiess all comes from the old I maa." But the rainy days don't last forever. Sunshine follows cloud and storm and darkness. In the journey of life the mountains loom up before us, and they look high aed steep aad rugged, but somehow they always disappear just be? fore we get to them, aad then we can look back and feel ashamed that we bor? rowed so much trouble and bad so much anxiaty for nothing. What a great pile of Miserable fears we build up every day. It's goed for a man to ruminate over it, and resolve to have more faith in provi? dence, and I am ruminating now, for I went to town to-day to attend a little I court that had my teaaafo cotton maney all tangled up by the lawyers, and I never expected, to get my share, bat I did and I feel happy. Mrs. Arp told the children ehe would like to ge and do some shoppisg for them, but she knew that I was so poor and they woald have . to do vltheuk So nil*a I cam* home aad found her stitohiag away with a sad expression on her oouateaaaee, I pulled oat the $13 of oottoa moaey, aad a*au?l?g a pathetic a nit ad* exelalmed: 'Turn Angelina, ever doar, My oharmer tarn to see, Thine own, thy long-lost William here, Restored to Heaven and thee." And laid the shining silver in her lap. In about two minutes everything was calm and serene, and w? bad music that night, and Mrs. Arp played on the piano and sang some of the songs of her girl? hood. It's Most astounding what a little money can do. Bill An?. An interesting story could be written of the gold mines of McOormick, S. 0. Farmer Dorn, it is said, with slave labor, at a cost of $25,000, dug out of two hill? sides from a pocket mine $2,000,000. Being of a generous disposition aad feel* ing like a happy bonanza prince, be in? dorsed the notes of iMpecnnious friends and had to pay when the notes fell due. We have been told that he learned noth ing from experience, and kept on as a friend expressed it rather strongly, "put? ting hit name to everybody's paper be? tween the Savannah Biver and the Mis? sissippi." His millions were exhausted, his mines ceased to yield the yellcw metal in paying quantities, the pockets of gold were exhausted, and Dorn the millionaire, became Dorn, the poor man. The glittering treasure slipped through his fingers. After the war Maj. Thomas P. Morgan, a most energetic man, induced OyruB McOormick, the opulent reaping ma chiae maker, to buy the Dorn property and develop it as a placer mine. Ma chioery was purchased and operations began. We apprehend that much more money was sunk than ever came to the surface in erode gold. Up to a recent period the railway traveler has seen from the car window the rotting remains of the derrick that was built with such ex? pectant prosperity. There was not mach probability of resuming work at the mines but another effort ia to be made. A Mr. Easterling has arrived at McOor? mick with aa engine and Btamp mill, and is almost ready to explore once mere the bowels of the earth for riches sup? posed to be still latent there. A rich vein is reported to hare been discovered, and the people of McOormick anticipate fine results from the new assay of mining. Undoubtedly there is gold there still. Boys occasionally piok up small nuggets in an adjacent corn field washed from the hillside; but tia&e moat disclose how far it will pay to make the second at? tempt of taming a pocket mine into a placer one.?Augusta Herald. Undoubtedly a Lnnatlc Macon, Ga., Oct. 31.?At LouiBville, Ga., a town near here, this morning, Dr. G. W. Kelly, a prominent physician, threw his eight-year-old daughter into a well, inteadiag to drown her, and then shot and killed his sister* in-law, who tried to prevent the perpe? tration of the crime. For some time past Kellv has been in a nervous condition, due to religious ex? citement, and has hinted at the necessity of takiag the life of those who were dear? est to him in order that he might pre? serve them from the evils of the world. This morning, after the commission of the crime, and while his sister-in-law lay dying in the room, be asserted that God had called him in his sleep to take the life of his child and sister-in-law. He appeared perfectly sane aad rational at times, but then would, break out in hysterical cries, appealing to those around him to know if he had not done the right thing. He appears to be sorry that the child's life was saved. Only its cries while in the well attracted the attention of the crowd of neighbors. The excitement is intense. The only thing that Baved Kelly from lynching is that the doctors say that he la andoubt-j edly a lunatic. Our Old Fire Company. "That was a gay old company that we j belonged to, Joe, away back in '68, when yoa and I 'ran withrthe machine.'

Greene brought down two 'kids' at once?one in his arms, the other slung to bis back ? Poor 'Diok' I He got the catarrh dread? fully, from so much exposure, and suffer? ed from it five years or more. We thought once he was going in consump? tion, sure. But, finally, he heard of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Bemedy, and tried it, and j it cured him up as sound aa a flint.

CHEKSE MAKING IN GEORGIA, by hon. b. t. nb8bitt. Commission*? of Agriculture of Otorgia. On a recant visit to Griffin, while at? tending the meeting of the Board of Di? rectors of the Experiment Station, I was very much interested in examiniag into the details of the cheese-making ex? periment now being tried there. This in? dustry has never been thoroughly tested in Georgia. Indeed it has been supposed heretofore that the difficulties, climatic and otherwise, here surrounding success? ful and profitable obeeee-making, were too numerous to be easily overcome. But a careful review of these difficulties, and a somewhat extended study of the farm experiment, has convinced me that tbe beginning of this industry will open another source of Income to our farmers, and its benefits will be felt, not only in tbe actual cash it may bring In, but ia the improvement of our stock and lands as well The establisbment of cheese factories and creameries in every neigh? borhood where they can be supported raeana a steady and reliable market for milk, much of which is now wasted. It also means more and better stock, and in tbe natural sequence of farm economy there follows more green crops, more and better home manure, and, crowning ad? vantage of all, improved and improving lauds. The arrangements for a cheese factory, unlike some other of the smaller indus? tries, do not require any considerable outlay of capital, and while neatness and care are essential, the conditions are such, that cheese of excellent quality can be successfully made at far leu risk, than where tbe milk is sent any distance to market, or where butter is tbe product. In tbe first case, that is where the milk is marketed at aay distance, there is the danger of souring, particularly in mid? summer. In the second, that it where tbe preduct is to butter, tbe variations of the cream as to quality and quantity, owing sometimes to weather conditions, or other oircumstancea equally beyond control, often cause disappointment. In keeping cows for caoeae-making, tho factory being established, the farmer sells milk at so much the pound, which is returned to him either in money or cheese. The price is fixed ; the market is at his door; bis only caw is to pro? duce tbe milk in sufficient quantities to pay him for the outlay. This being done, he has not only added to bis in? come, bat has another wholesome and nutritious item among hi* family sup? plies. In almost every thickly settled neighborhood, one of the factories might be Btarted on the co operative plan, sev? eral farmers combining, and one of their number thoroughly posting himself in all the necessary details of the work. At the Experiment Station the factory is in daily operation, and any one winning in? struction will be welcomed, and given every facility for learning the business. There ia nothing complicated in the pro? cess, and any man or woman of ordinary intelligence can, iu thirty days, learn everything necessary for carrying on the work. To give some idea of tbe require? ment* I quote from some notes which were kindly furnished me by Capt. Ued? ding, the Direotor, in response to tome questions, which I had asked. I also give his^etter, bearing directly on this subject. Experiment, Ga., Aug. 27, 1892. Hon. R. T. Nesbiit. Commissioner of Ag? riculture, Atlanta, Ga.?My Dear Sib : In response to yours of the 25th I enolose "Notes on Oheese-making in Georgia," which you may find useful. You may add that the cheese made the present summer at the Station dairy has been in great request, selling readily at tbe dairy at fifteen cents per pound?tbe whole obeese. Wherever it has been tasted it has given satisfaction. Mr. Wing says that the condition here in Georgia, for cheese making, are more fa? vorable than in Ohio, where he has been making cheese all his lifo. Very truly, R. J. Bedding, Director. Poms Kolas aa Cbeeso-maklag In Georgia. 1. Character and cost of building: Any cheep outbuilding, or more shed will answer all purposes for making cheese. It is only necessary to be dry and comfortable for the operator. But tbe curing room should be tight and close, yet capable of ventilation. A good 8x10 pantry, or storeroom, Buch as may be found in most well built farm houses, would answer. 2. Fixtures, machinery, etc. A cheese vat, consisting of a wooden box lined with tin, with a small furnace underneath; a press with one or more screws similar to a cider press screw ; a few tin oheess hoops of different sizes ; curd knives, strainers, dipper and a ther? mometer. The entire outfit for a dairy of twenty fire cows will coat less than $100.00. S. Tbe process of cbeeee making is, briefly, as follows : Tbe night's milk is kept in a cool place until morning, wheu It is mixed with the morning's milk and all pour?d into the cheese vat and heated up to a tempera? ture of eighty-/our degrees. A small quantity of prepared rennet (rennetine) is then added and the milk is constantly but gently stirred (to prevent the cream from rising) until it . commences to thicken. In about forty minutes the milk will become solid, it curdles (you would call it clabber, or sweet curds.) When the curd has become pretty firm it is cut into small cubed?about the size and shape of dice?by means of the curd knives which is done in a few momenta. The heat is then increased uutil the curds show a temperature of ninety-six to ninevy-eight degreej by the thermom? eter. This heating is to cauae tbe piscsa of curd to contract, thereby expelling tho whey. The whey is then drained a?vuy and is used to feed pigs, yuuaz calven, etc., being a very fattening food. The curd is now salted at the rate of one-balf ounce of salt to the pound of card, and the latter U enclosed in a press clolh and pat into tbe cheese hoop and pressed until the whey ia all expelled, which will be in about tweuty minutes. The obeese ia now removed from tho press hoop, tho press cloth removed, end the permanent cloth "bandage" but on, and then returned to the hoops and press, where it is pressed with tho full force of the press screw aad & three foot lever?the firmer the better. The cheeto usually remains in the press until next day, or say eighteen hoars, when .it is marked with date of making and placed on a shelf in the cur? ing room to be turned over every day and rubbed with the hand. The curieg room should be kept at about the tem? perature of seventy or seventy-five degrees by opening windows and doors at night and closing up daring the day. The oheese will be ready for use in frost three weeks to several mouths, as may be determined by the maker during the process of making. 4. In the South the mouths of March, April, May, June, August, September and October are the best cheese making months, but cheese may be made at any season. Usually eheeae Is made in spring, summer and fall, and batter in winter, because butter making requires a cool temperature which cannot be secured in summer without the aid of Joe? which is too expensive and inconvenient, 5. How to dispose *f milk wkea not made into cheese. It la generally tnoio profitable to sell milk than either butter or cheese; bit milk will keep only a ?w boars, end cannot be sent long distances. There? fore the milk market is easily glutted. Butter making ia the better way where a large number of cows is kept and the local market mot reliable for milk. Gen? erally cheese-making will be found more profitable than either when operating with a good sized herd. 6. In Georgia nice and one-half pounds of milk are required to make one pound of oured cheese. 7. As before stated the ourds may be so manipulated as to make a long keap iag or short keeping oheese?say from three to four weeks *to six mouths may intervene between making and market ing, accordiag to the will of the maker. When a obeeae become* ripe, or ready for eating, and it is desired to hold it for a better market, it must bs kept in a cool room?it summer time in "cold storage." At the laat meeting of the Board of Directors of the Experiment (station, it was determined that at the State Fair to be held In Macon In the coming October, the Station cheoi.o factory shall be in daily operation. Many persons who could not olherwla* have an opportunity of witnessing the practical working of such a fectory, can there study every1 item *f labor, experience, etc. The field is opea to any enterprising person, and I trust such will tak* hold aad make it remunerative to themselves and to the farmers. Every enterprise, which opens new avenue* of work and furnishes fresh sources of income, is a blessing, and we need all the help which such combina? tions may afford us.?Southern Ouliivotor. Good J*ke on a Harried Man. A joke ia told of a certain gentleman . which it too good to be lost. Our friend, who shall be nameleas, purchased a pair of pants a few days ago, which, upon being tried ou at home, he found to bo a little bit too long. That night be re? marked to his wife that be wished her to take off about an inch from bach leg, which would make thorn the desired length. Being fond, aa a good many wives are, of teasing her husband, she told him "flat-flooted" that she wouldn't do anything of the kind; and he retired, finally, without haviag obtained a prom? ise from her that she would attend tu the matter. Soon after he had left for his room, however, she, as a matter ef course, clip? ped of the superfluous inch, an she had been requested to do. The family is comprised of six female members in ad? dition to the "good man," aad it chanced that each one oae of the other five, who were in adjoining rooms (including the mother of our friend,) heard the dispute between the maa and wife about the pants ; after the latter had taken off the inch and retired, the old lady, desiring to "keep peao* in the family," aad not knowing what her daughbar-la-law had dono, oautioualy slipped Into the room and cut off another inch. In this way did each of the five ladies, unkowa to the others, and all with the praiaa-worthy object of preventing any miau udara Unding between the married couple, clip an inch from the leg* uf the gentleman's trousers. The following morning, all unconscious of what had taken plaoe during the night, he rolled up the panti lu a piece of pa? per, and took thorn to his tailor to be shortened to Lhe desired length. Upon a hasty glance, the latter ven? tured the opinion that they were already rather short. But the owner was too well posted on that scora, and insisted that thoy wore fully an inch too long. The tailor had no m<>r? U say, aad our friend retired. On the following Saturday he called for the pants and took them home ; and the next morning, wbea came out to put himself inside of thorn, he was su? premely disgusted at tiudiog that the legs reached only a trlfld below the knees 1 In other worda, Uiey hod beeu altered to faahioa of a century ago, when knee breeches were in voguo. He straightway acouaad hU toiler of having ruined his pants, and bis indig? nation was expressed in language any? thing but mild. His wife beard kirn, and came to the resoue of the Knight of the Shears?explaining that she had taken an inch from each of the legs; and ber acknowledgment was followed by that uf oach of Lhe other five ladies, when it was discovered that, altogether, the legs has been shortened to the extent of seven inches I Bucklo&ff Arnica Halve.

Of the many beautiful allegoric* and fablee whlcb enricb German literature none is more lovely tban tbat in which sleep and death are personified as two angels wandering about the earth ful? filling their separate missions with which they have been charged by the Good Spirit. With light band the Angel of Sleep strews the slumber seeds, which borne by the evening wind into the dwel? lings of men, prodnoe the desired effect, soothing to sleep the young and the old, the Buffering and the sorrowful, who, when morning cornea, awake with bleea | ings upon their lips for the rest and re? freshment they have enjoyed. The dark* eyed Angel of Death complains mourn? fully tbat men regard him as their ene? my and destroyer, but is reminded by bis brother tbat, when they awake from the Bleep of death, men will also recog? nize in him a friend and benefactor. As we read the pretty fable we are forcibly struck by the truth that underlies its poetry, and we realize the inconsistency of resigning ourselves night after night to a state of unconsciousness so closely re? sembling death tbat it is sometimes mis taken for it, and from which we may nev? er awake without a fear or shadow of re* ! luctance, and yet wo shudder and grow rick at heart when we think of resigning our souls into the baad of our Creator in the sleep of death, notwithstanding oar having His faithful promise tbat we shall rise again. The fear of death is a natural Instinct tbat our reason cannot conquer, although 1 our courage may repress every outward sign of dread when the final hour comes. The philosophy of the ancients was di? rected towards the removal of this fear and the cultivation of a feeling of calm* ness in contemplating the approach of death, but if they were successful in over comiag all apprehensions with regard to dying, where was the merit in such a death as that of Socrates T The best they coald do was to tura the attention to higher things, and thus ignore the body with its Bufferings and final pangs; or they veiled the dreadful name of death under euphonious terms and fanciful symbols. Religion has been more sue* easeful than either philosophy or science in teaching men not to fear death, because she bos spokes with assurance of the future tbat lies beyond the grave, of a blessed immortality, but still it is no uncommon thing for the most saintly of men and women to shudder at the thought of dying, at least until the last hour comes, when it nearly always hap? pens that grace aud streagth are given to them and the fear mercifully removed so tbat they pass away with a smile upon their lips and unutterable peace in their hearts. It is common enough for people to speak bravely of dying, and for poets to write eloquently about it, so long as they imagine it is far from then, and while health and strength seem to promise tbem a long life; but very few gire testimony to the sincerity of their feelings by so ideal a death as was that of Tennyson. In ail bis exquisite poetry there is noth? ing more serenely beautiful tban the scene of bis own death. The quiet, moonlit room, the watchers around the bod whore the venerable form of the poet lay as bis soul passed the portals of death and entered the silent land ! It is a sub? ject worthy tbe canvas of one of the great masters, and a fitting close to bis longaud life. What would one not give to know the tboughte that filled bis mind during those hours of peaceful waiting. The very fact that the unknown world has so often boen called 'The Silent Land," because none baa returned to toll of its wonders, denotes the feeling with which men regard that undiscover? ed country towards wbioh we are inevi? tably travelling; its silence and mystery fill tbe bravest with awe, while we vain? ly wish for one to come bock with tid? ings of what awaits tu there. In this ( connection one reads with interest, if not with entire oredulity, an article in a late number of tbe "Proceedings of the Society of Psychical Research," on the subject of bow we feel when we die. It professes, in all seriousness, to give the experience of two men, who, to all prac? tical purposes were dead and returned to lifo, with a clear recollection of what they bad experienced during tbe short period tbe bouI was absent from the body. Tbe first of these is tbe statement of Dr. Wiltae, contributed to tbe St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal. From the nature of the publication in which this remarkable story appeared we must believe that tbe writer really thinks tbat be felt just as all dhtembodied spir? its do when first released from the body. His condensed statement is as follows: When in full possession of all his facul? ties be appaared to oome to tbe moment of death in tke last stage of typhus fever. He was pulseless for a long time, and for nearly half an hour be appeared abso? lutely lifelea. During this time bo woke out of unconsciousness into a state ofconecious existence, and discovered that tbe soul was in tbe body and not of it. "With all tbe interest of a physi? cian," he says, "I beheld the wondeva of my bodily anatomy, intimately inter woveu with which was I, tbe living soul of that dead body. By some power ap? parently not my owu, tbe Ego waa rock? ed to and fro laterally, by which process its connectioa with the tissues of the body was broken up. This ceased, aud along the soles of tbe feet I felt and heard, as it seemed, the snapping of sev? eral small cords. Then I began to re? treat from tho feet towards tbe head, as a rubber cord shortens. I recollect distinct? ly when my whole aolf was collected in into tbe bead. I passed around tbe brain as if it were hollow, compressing it slight? ly on all sides towards tho centre, aud peoped out between the suturoa of the skull. As I emerged from tho bead I floated up and down, like a soap bubble attached to the bowl ot a pipe, until at last I broke loose from tbe body and fell lightly to the floor, where I slowly rose and expanded into tbe full stature of a man." Dr. Wiltae then relates how he found himself clothed, and how in moving to? wards the door be came in contact with a person standing near, who seemed total? ly unconscious of his touch, and bow be aa* kit own de-id body lying on a ooncb with two women kneeling by its side. He afterwards learned that these were his wife and sister, bot at the time did "not remember any conditions of rela? tionship." He left the house rejoicing In feeling so well, and in the thought that be would be sick again; but he du cowed that a small cord like a spider's thread,btill connected him with his body. He seemed to pass through the air up? held by invisible hands at a swift but pleasant rate of speed and arrived on a narrow roadway, inclining upwards, but without visible support. He felt very lonely and looked about for a companion, when a face full of ineffable love and ten? derness appeared to him. In front were great rocks blocking the way, and a voice told him: "This is the road to the eter? nal world; once you pass this you can no more return to the body." There were four entrances, one very dark, the other three led into a cool, quiet and beautiful country; but,as he was about to enter, be was stopped and became un? conscious. When he awoke he was lying in his bed, He awoke to consciousness and Boon recovered. The experience of the Rev, Mr. Ber trand, who was froren to death in the Alps and afterwards resusticated, resem? bles in many particulars that of Dr. Wiltse. He studied the phenomena of dying with the same critical interest, and felt the aame sensations of life receeding from the extremities, though with him his heart was the last part of the body to loiie feeling; and, at the final moment, there was an instant of acute pain. Then came the relief of being released from the body, and the aame indifference to it and to those he had most cared for ;! in life. He wandered through a beauti ! ful world, but was always conscious of the slender thread that kept him con? nected with the body he had left. Then be felt himself being drawn most unwill? ingly back to earth and forced to return to the corpse be hoped be bad forever quitted, and returned to consciousness to find the guide making use of the usual means to restore life to those frozen in the snow. We may remark that in both these cases there is the same profession of delight at the feeling of being free from the body, and the same reluctance to return to it. The worst feature of these statements is Lhe i a difference towards those they have left behind, as if all earthly ties were dissolved by death. At such an idea the the heart revolts. We refuse to believe that the mourner can feel so deep an an? guish of grief for the dear ones he has lost, and stretch foith despairing bands towards that silent laud into which they have gone, while Lhe disembodied spirit stands by coldly indifferent to his love and despair. If this were true, would our Lord in His parable of the rich man and Lazarus have mocked our hopes of future recognition of friends by telling of the solicitude of the former for the brethren be bad left on earth ? We can? not believe be would. Or can we think that He would have left His Father's glory to save the human race, and that he would send His angels to "minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation," and those heirs have no care for those who were dearer to them than life itself in the days upon earth? Surely this cannot be.?Sunday News. Transplanting Trees. In regard to the best time for trans? planting trees opinion seems not at all uniform as between fall and spring. According, however, to such high au? thority aa Mr. Saunders of the depart? ment of agriculture, fall planting is preferable to spring planting because the conditions of soil and climate are then more favorable. Ia the fall there is a period when the soil averages several degrees warmer than the atmosphere. In the case of newly removed trees planted in this kind of natural holbed, the heated soil encourages the formation of roots at once, aad in a few weeks a good system of roota is established, enabling the tree to withstand the vicissitudes of winter and moke an early start in the following spring. If planting is delayed until spring these conditions of soil and atmos? phere are to a certain degree reverted ; the soil is then cold, while the air rap? idly inoreases in warmth. Trees planted at this time will have the buds excited to growth, and leaves will be formed in ad? vance of the roota. These extract sap from the branches and the stem of the tree, which as yet has no activo roots to supply the demand. Thus spriag planted trees sometimes come out into vigorous leaf and then suddenly wither and die under the influence of dry weather. The above no doubt indicates the best prac? tice for a very large portion of the coun? try, but in sections where severe winters prevail, and freezings and thawing* are' freqieut, and the heaving of the ground is sufficient to disturb the roots of newly . planted trees, early spring planting, it is thought, will bo preferable.
