Our funeral Oustoms.
I1Y ItKV. 0, K. CANI'IKt.l).
About tho most trying service a
country minister is called to perform la
tbo funeral service lie i called, fre
quently, ou very sbort notice, to go a
long way and preaob a formal sermon
to tbo largest congregation tbat hu
over lias for thcro aro many who at
tend funerals whoso shadow novcr
darkens the olmrch door at any other
tlmo. It may bo that the deceased is
ono of this suno kind. While alive lib
could not bo persuaded to attend
church for any consideration (except at
funeral?,) but when dead his friends do
for hla body what ho would not do for
his soul tako it to church. As Colo
nel Klino one- remarked, "It does seem
like taking a mean advantago of a man
after ho is dead to take him by forco
whero ho couldn't bo persuaded to go
while ho was alive." And then tho
friends expect more or less of eulogy
to bo pronounced even though tho de
ceased bo comparatively unknown to
tho preacher.
Often tho last preparation for tho fu
neral is to "notify ' tho minister. How
short this notice is on tho aveiago
would be a matter of surprise to many.
Commonly it la only a day before the
funeral. Sumctimo- tho name day,
Once a man galloped ahead of tho fu
neral procession to ask mo to preach
the sermon, and as a means of hasten
ing my preparations ho pointed to tho
procession approaching on tho hillside 1
I met tho procession at tho church
door. This is an cxtremo caso j yet wo
insist, if a sermon must bo preached,
that as much timo bo given to its pre
paration as to that or tho cofliu and
shroud.
But why havo tho funeral sermon at
all T It is not tho' custom in towns and
cities except in caso of noted persons
but it is customary in this country to
have funerals for infants in churches,
with full servico and tho feast follow
ing tho burial. "What 1 not havo a
public funeral t" said a man with whom
I talked j "why, you havo a chance to
preach tho gospel to many who novcr
corao to church on other occasions.1'
Yes ; but what good does it do them 1
Did you over hear of a conversion
being made by a funeral sermon t Did
you over hear of any scoffer being si
lenced, any infidel turned to tho truth
on such an occasion t But abolishing
tho funeral sermon does not do away
with tho services of the minister. One
of tho tendcreat ofllces of tho pastor is
to administer the comforts of religion
to thoao called to mourn. Indeed, when
the heart is ploughed by sorrow the
seeds of truth often tako deepest root.
But thcro is no better, more sacred
placo for this than the home. Espe
cially should the Gnal leave-taking of tho
friends from their dead never bo in pre
sence of a congregation. Tho last
parting should bo too sacred to parade'
before the eyes of those, often unsym
pathetic and critical, who como from
mere curiosity.
Another very objectionablo feature
of our country funeral customs is tho
Sunday funeral. Very many people
regard tne oaDoetn as tho most appro
priate day to bury their dead. So they
harry their preparations if tho time is
short, and lengthen them if the time is
long, so that they may have the funer
al on Suuday. I havo known those
who died on Saturday, as well as those
who died on Wednesday, to bo buried
on Sunday. As a consequence the
minister must frequently leave his reg
ular appointment, and several other
congregations in the neighborhood are
nearly broken up; for everbody, of
course, must go to the funeral. Three
times within three months it has beeui
my lot to preach to a mere handful of
faithful ones lnuauso the majority part
of tho coii'-reg.iUon were away attend
ing fuueials.
Next to Sunday camp-meetings, Sun-,
day fuueials are the most fruitful cause
of depleting the country congregation.
Is it not time that this bleeding pro
cess should be stopped t It is rarely
ever necessary to bury the dead on
Sunday, and most clprgyraen are op
posed to it, yet the custom thrives. Is
it not timo that God's servants should
cry out against tho pernicious prac
tice T God's peoplo should refuso to let
any thing, except in case of absolute
necessity, stand between them and tho
regular ordinances of tho Lord's house
on the Lord's day. Let ministers preach
and write against it, and let Christian
people set the right example and a bad
custom must yield.
But worst of all, is the feast follow
ing tho funeral in some parts of our
country. Especially is this tho caso in
many part3 of Pennsylvania. What
ever the origin of tho custom, it is bad.
Tho friends who corao from a distance
must have something to eat, but why
cannot tho neighbors take them to their
homes for entertainment 1 Where this
custom provails several of the neigh
bors must go to the house of the do
ceased and help to prepare the sump
tuous repast. They ought to help
in any necessary funeral arrange
ments, but instead of this feast being
a necessity it is becoming a nuisance.
Friends and neighbors far and near aro
publicly invited to return to the house
for refreshments, aud most elaborato
preparations aro made. I have often
been disgusted with tho din of cooking
utensils and tho odor of savory dishes
while religious services wcro being
held in the house. Tho preparations
begun tho day previous aro completed
during the funeral, and when tho be
reaved return from their now-made
grave It is to be ushered into a lively
company, and seated at a table loaded
with every obtaluablo luxury. Some
times tho undertaker, with white apron,
assisted by several waiters, auts as mas
ter of ceremonies. How tho hilarious
talking and jesting must grato upon
the ears of tho mourners 1 Yet they
submit becauso it is tho custom. Few
have the courago to break away from
the prevailing fashion. Thnso who
can ill afford tho expense must be sub
ject to it. I havo known it to cost a
man half a summor'b work for tho
funeral expense's of one of his family,
and the feast was au important hem in
the bill.
This leads to tho consideration of
funeral display. How often has wicked
extravagance heeu shown in some use
less display, Let the preparations be
decent ami appropriate, but nut oxtrav
agant. This applies not only to elabo
rate collins, but also to mourning gar
ments. Whv parade ourgiief boforo
the public ? Why advertise ourstivrs
as mourners by wearing black ? It is
time that there wus loform here, as
well as elsewhere in our funeral cus
toms, The I'resbytcrian.

Teaching Animals to Converse.
Sir John Lubbook, the dlstinituUhed
anthropologist unl naturalist, sends
to the London Nature a brief ilhcns-
slon of a subject which is full of in
terest aud always peculiarly fascinat
ing. From the earliest times the speaking
of birds and beasts has been tho sub
ject of fable, and every lover of a dog
or a horse hai mourned that only In
fable was there speech between man
and tho brute. Uir John Lubbock,
howovcr, seriously considers tho possi
bility of teaching animals to converse
with man, "It has occurred to me,"
he says, "whether some such system as
that followed Willi iloif mutes, epC'
cially by Dr. Howes withLiura Bridg
man, might nut prove very instructive
it adapted to the caso ot oops.
Accordingly ho has tried experi
ments with his dog. lie printed in
legiblo letters on pieces of stout card
board suuh words as "food," "hone,"
"out." Tho dog was a black poodle, a
breed which, by tho way, s generally
known to be quick at learning tiicka
Sir John Lubbock got the head master
of a deaf and Juinb school to assist at
tho experiments. They began by giv
ing the dog food in a saucer, over
which was laid the card on which was
the word "food,'1 ami beside which was
placed an empty saucer covered by a
plain card.
"Van," tho poodle soon learned to
distinguish between tho two. After
ward ho was taught to bring tho card
which expressed his wants. "This ho
now does," says Sir John Lubbock,
''and hands it to mo quite prettily, and
I then givo him a bone or a little food,
or take him out, according to tho card
brought. He still brings sometimes a
plain card, in which caso I point out
his error, and ho then takes it back and
changes it." That mistake is not ofton
made by Van. Ho has leatned to dis
tinguish between tho card with tho
word and the blank card, no matter
how often their rclativo positions aro
changed
This is only the beginning of tho
very interesting experiments Sir John
Lubbock proposes to make. Ho means
to multiply tho cards so that the dou
may be enabled to communicato freely
with him. lie also expresses tho wish
that other owners of dogs which have
displayed especial intelligence and
docility, would conduct similar experi
ments, so that tho results may be col
lated and compared. "1 confess,'' he
concludes, "I hope that somo positive
results might follow, which would
enable us to obtain a inord correct in
sight into tho minds of animals than
we have yet acquired.''
All thoso who aro familiar with dogs
and who enjoy their frequent compan
ionship, will both acknowledge that
Sir John Lubbock has reason for his
hope, and trust witli him that the re
sults secured will enable him to explore
hitherto secret chambers of the canine
intellect.
An infant is taught to communicate
its desires in speech only after tho ex
penditure of inlinito pains and unwear
ying patienco on the part of the mother,
it is a very slow process, and the teach
ing goes on nearly tho whole of tho
child's waking hour. The lessons, too
are object lessons. In tho c is-: of the
deaf and dumb and blind, thu most
marvellous results aie attained by the
patient teacher.
If like care and pains are spent in
tho way indicated by Sir John Lub
bock, may we not also expect to reaoh
results which will be surprising and
of inestimablo value ill the investiga
tion of animal intelligence and tho
mental process of brutes T Dogs havo
been taught by circus men and others
to do a great variety of things
which show thu reasoning capacity
of tho animals ; and the stories of
canine intelligence aud canine suscep
tibilities aro innumerable, and wonder
ful. But wo do not know of any pre
vious attempt to pursuo this subject
after a scientific method, aud for tho
epecifio scientific purpose this distin
guished naturalist has in view.
At any rate, there is not a more fas
cinating inquiry than that upon which
Sir John Lubbock has entered ; aud it
is far from absurd to hope, as a tlippaut
writer in tho New York Times lately
implied, that man will yet havo added
to his pleasures tho opportunity of
holdingjconverse with his dog. N. Y.

If Columbus had told the king and
queen of Spain, after they had made it
all right for him to start out, that he
guessed ho wouldn't undertake tho job
that day, but some other day, it is just
possiblo that their Majesties might
have changed their minds in tho mean
time, and America might havo remain
ed a howling wilderness to this day, and
four hundred years of precious time
havo been lost in tho develoyment of
Republican institutions and tho Ameri
can Eagle.

The Philadelphia Times.
1884.
The X'liltndcliililn TIiiich, i88.j.
Tho Times will enter upon tho new year stronger
and more prosnerout than ever bctoro in Us his
tory moro widely tunc! and quoted, more heartily
commended, and more llercly criticised, with a
more completo organization, and an abler bUIT ot
contributors and with tho samo independence
and fearlessness that has inado It successful and
powerful in tho past.
Tho Timet has no party to follow, no candidates
to advance, but will meot every I3sue, at It has
ever done, with consistent devotion to the right,
to honest government, and tho public welfare.
And, while maintaining Its position as the leading
Jo irnal ot Philadelphia, it will aim to bo contlnu
ally In tho advance In all that can add value to a
rewspapcr.
Tho valuo of a newspaper Is not In Its size or
display, but In tho Intelligence and care, the con
ciseness and freshness with which It Is edited. The
Times spends lavishly for news from allpirtsot
tho world, but all Its dispatches are carefully ed
lted and condensed, In order to glvo tho completo
news of tho day In tho most concise and attract.
Ire shape, and w 1th It a large variety ot entertain
ing and Instructive reading. Tho best writers at
homo and abroad nro employed to tnrlch its col
umns, and to make It a Journal adapted both to
the busy man and to the leisure ot tho homo cir
cle, a welcome visitor to Intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious, and social
taste.
Tho Weekly Times Is altogether different from
tho weekly newspapers of twenty years ago. Tho
day of thoso papers Is gone by. The telegraph and
better local newspapors everywhere, especially In
the thriving centres .of rural population, have
mado tho old weekly metropolitan newspaper un
satisfying. Thoso that cling to their ancient
usages havo lost their hold on our forward-mov-lng
peoplo; they are but shadows of their former
greatness, and they have but a shadow of their
former power. Those papers havo had their use
fulness, but It Is gone: and, with It, they are going
too. it was not tho fault of tho papers; it was
tho Improvement of, tho country that brought
about the change, lien and women, wherever
they live, now require fresher news ; and they re
quire moro than news.
The Weekly Times gathers off tho types of every
passing week whatever has lasting uiterest to
nooiilo at larce. and sets it before tnem In such
generosity of nap-r and print as would havo as-
