Teaching Birds to Sing.
A contributor to the Nursery writes:
. “Last summer I was at friend’s house at
Nahant. I tore early in the morning, and
went down stairs to walk on the piazza.
While there I heard, as I thought, some
person whistling a tune in a very sweet
style. I loked around but could see no one.
Where could the sound come from ‘P I look-
ed up, and saws little bird in a cage. The
~ cage was hung in the midst of- flowers and
twining plants. -
“ ‘Cant it be,’ thought I ‘that such a little
'bird as that has been taught to sing a regu-
lar tune so 'sweelly ?’
“I did not know that to make of it.
When my friend came down stairs, she told
pic that it was indeed the little bird who
had whistler] the sweet tune. Then my
‘ friend cried out Ito the bird, ‘Come, Bully,
Bully, sweet liltly "bullfinch, give us just
one more tune. And then-this dear little
.bird hopped about-the cage, looked at his
mistress, and whistled another 'swect 'tune.
It was 'so'strange to hear a bird whistle a
regular tune!
“ ‘Now, Buily,’ said my friend ‘you must
give us ‘Yankee Doodle,’ Come, come, you
shall have some nice fresh seed if you will
whistle ‘Yankee Doodlee.’ ‘And the little
thing did whistle it much to niy surprise.
“My friend then told me she had brought,
Germany, where are little schoolgf‘or. teach-
ing these birds to sing. When a‘ bullflnch
has learned to sing two or three tunes he is
worth from fony to sixty dollars, for he will"
bring thai price in France or England.
“Great skill and‘ patience are needed to
teach these birds. Few- teachers can have
the time to give to the children under their
charge so much care as the birdétcachers
‘ give to their bird pupils.
"The birdsnre put into classes of about
six each, and kept for a time in a darkroom.
Here, when their food is given to them,
they are made to hear music, so that, when
they have eaten their food, or when they
want more food, they will sing, - and try to
imitate the time they have just heard. This
tune they probably connectwith tire act of
feeding. ‘ _As soon ‘as they begin to-'imiiate
afequotes, the light is let into the room,
and this cheers them on still more, , and
makes them feel as if they would like to
sing. In some _'Of these schools,- the birds
begin to sing. These are the sohoOls where
the teachers are more strict. After being
thus taught in classes, each-bullflucli is .~ put
under the care of a boy,. who plays his
organ-from morning to night, whilé the
master or mistress of the bird school gees
round to see how the pupils are getting on.
“The bullfliiches seam to know at once
when they are scolded, and when they are
praised, by their master or mistress, and
they like to be pelted when they have done
well. The training goes on for nine months,
and then the birds have got their education,
and are sent to England or France, and
sometimes to America, to be sold.
“All animals, all birds, and all reptiles—
even fishes—are susceptible of culture and
improvement. 30 are plants, roots, and
traits. And above and beyond all, are
' human beings capable of almost inimitable
development and improvement, bolh of
body and mind.”
#
I remember one of my Sunday-school
teachers'when I was a boy. ‘He was a plain
man", with a common-school education,
though naturally intelligent and thoughtful.
He was a very quiet man—even n matter-of-
fset man ; teller in _a country bank. But he
evidently studied the lessons, and be evi-
dently was anxious at—iimes‘ deeply anx-
ious, for our souls. It pains me now when
I think how perplexed and grieved he look-
ed sometimes at our unconquerable heed-
lessness and fun. But one thing about his
teaching I’sball never forget. *It was.the
way he had occasionally, ailer the lesson
itself was over oflaying-his hand on my
knee, and‘looking kindly and seriously into
II:.uy face, and saying in warm and earnest
undertone some simple words of question-
ing or persuasion which evidently just came
right oui'ofhis heart. I do not remember

At First Congregational Church, Norwalk,
__ 31' .....
REV. JAMES w. HUBBELL,
On Thursday, September 5th, 1872.
1 am not here {0-day to preach an elabo-
rate funeral sermon, nor' to pronounce a
glowing eulogy upon the lite and character
of the departed? Such gs service would be
contrary to my custom, not desired by the
friends who sit in sorrow shunt this casket,
and least of all by him whose merial re-
mains lie within it, who was himself modest
and unpretentious in life. ' . .
It is eminently fitting that we should
pause for a little while in this sacred place
on our way to .his open grave, that here,
where he loved to come and worship, we
may now come and pray for comfort, for
sirength,f‘or submission ; and may also ap-
propriately,ihough briefly, recall his average
life and character. ' '_ .
There is a moment when every life is re-
lieved on earth. It igin that hour when
the coffin lid is shut down upon the peaceful
sleeper ; when earth sees the last of him for-
ever. Then the whole life is lived over
again in the conversation which follows, as
the funeral train winds slotvly its way
to his last resting place. False may have
been the eulogy, but true the verdict. "The
history of three score yearsis soon recapitu-
lated. Iflhe life has been benevolent, and
useful, and s'elf-smriflcing, it will all come
out on, the ,way to the cemetery, while heavy
hearts go mourning for ils loss. To some
the experiences of the last few hours of life.
dying words, if what they should be, seem
to convey more comfort than all else. They
wait for the reproduction of the dying scene I;
for this they'reserveItheir. tears; without
those‘ dying words a funeral seems to them
incomplete and unsalisfaclory. Such words
are oftencomforting and seem almost like a
voice from within the gates ; and yet they
‘are worth litileexcept as they are in her.
many with, and the out-come of . the life.
The parliaiity of friends may. write a false
epitaph, but, usual judgment of society will
hold a man’s life for what it was ivorih.’ '
Ihave been' impressed to-dl'ly with the
funeral aspect of the whole community
- This large concourse of people in the midst
of the busy week; the sorrow visibly.
written on many features; the hearts Ihere
I fall of unaltered memories; the gathering
- here ofall classes and denominations; . this
magnificent army of floral beauty, all of
it gifts of affection, announcing in fragrant
language a love for him sleeping there as
beautiful and more abiding than the tlow‘ers;
.ihc slowly tolling bell, but the wail and
the echo of many a sad heart; the Ilong
processidn that shall pass out to you-
der cemetery, these things all help assure
' us of that we already well know, that a man
valued and beloved has fallen.
Dr. Ira Gregory was born in'the adjoining
‘ town of Wilton, in 1804. He grew up 'as a
member ofa large family, where the peculiar
trails of his character which marked his
riper years were developed in the quiet free-
dom and affection of home life. *He’was
always good, and kind, and helpful. gHis
character was unstained by evil influences
or associations. His mind was cultured and
stimulated in the excellent schools which
for many years have made that community
remarkable. He entered upon aihorough
preparation for the chosen profession of his
life. He proseduied his studies with a
marked couscientiousness and devotion, and
graduated at the Yale Medical School in-
1829, having won the respect and esteem of
all who knew him. He entered at once
upon the active practice of his profew’on in
the little village of Moriehes, on Long
Island. There he remained for about 12
years, after which he removed to this place,
where for over thirty years he has lived in
the active and arduous pursuit of. his
humane calling, giving himself in all these
toiling years but little time for rest and
pleasure. ' . ‘ .
I shall first speak of him as a physician.
In this capacity was be the best known; as
a family physician he was hkhly esteemed
and beloved. He not only brought to: his
life-work a.thorough - and careful prepara-
ruiion, but, also, by the aid of his‘retenlive
memory, he gathered up a valuable expe-
rience Iii practice which made his knowledge
in the healing art cumulative." He read3autl
watched with carethe improvements in his
science, and just now, in the ripeness of his
experience,.he was thoroughly furnished foi'
his work. Iii the opinion of a doctor most
intimately associated with him hereflle stood
in the front rank of his profession, and was
a much better doctor than he thought him-
‘seif to be. He was careful in his analysis of
his case ; a close ' and patient observer of
symptoms ; unspariug ofhimself in hisItire~
less attendance through weary weeks of ill-
ness ; gentle as a woman in his step and his
touch; putting all the sympathies of ' his
heart into contact with the object of .- his
care, sympathies that often robbed him of
his sleep by night, and of his appetite fOi
food by day. He was modest and retiring
in nature, and put forward no claim to rare
skill in healing the sick, always charitable
.iu conceding genius to others but slow to
claim it for himself. As the family doctor
he was like him of whom Paul wrote to: the
church at IIColossc, Luke the beloved phy.
sieian. Into how many fhmilies in this
place and elsewhere during the years that
are passed, has he come in times of sickness
and apprehensions of death, and conveyed
relief, and comfort, and hope which have
made his name as a household word in many
a dwelling, and enshrined him in the affec-
tion ofmany hearts. ' ' ‘ .
' The family physician occupies a most in-
timate and responsible position. The lives
and often the honor of dear ones are con-I
fided to his care. At the beginning and at
the close of life, and in {all intervening
stages, the family doctor is b ght most in-
timtely into association and sympathy.I 1n
the case of our fi'ieud whom we inter to-day,
I declare it fenrichly, he was true to'ihe
families he visited. ,The confidence reposed
in him was never abused; the secrets he
carried are buried with him. He was pro-
dent in his words, slow to speak evil of any,
disposed to waive his rights rather, than
assert them, he has won a large place in
many homes, evidences of which haVe ap-
peared during the long weeks of his pain-
ful illness. Flowers,-and fruits, and delica-
cies, prepared by loving hands, and a thou-
sand a’ii’ectionaie messages and inquiries
have spoken for him, and brought a pleasant
surprise to the home where he lived and
died and was loved. ~ .
'1 would next speak of him as a Christian.
During all these years here passed, he has
been practising religion as well as medicine.
He has carried words of Christian comfort
and resignation when all human help was
vain, and by his ever quiet utterances of
sympathy has been such a comfort that he
became, though he thought it not, the phy-
sician of the soul as well as the body.
" ‘He has always been‘a‘irue friend and sup-
porter of his pastor. The doctor loved good
preaching. He would take a sermon that
was systematically arranged and substantial
and carry it all through his heart. He be-
lieved in analysis in theology us well as in
medicine.- He liked to have his preacher
make a point, and then he would ncser for-
get it. For; about thnty years he has been
an oillcer in this church, and the oldest
deacon at the time of‘ his death, How
~ many times has he walked up and down
hose aisles, that door physician, carrying.r
he bread andIihe wine which set forlh the
lenth of Christ as the life and healing: of the
soul. It was appropriate lhat he who con.
veyed relief and healing to the body during
the week, should distribute the bread of life
upon the Sabbalh day. '
Those thatused to sit with him about this
table in other years had passed away, one
by one, pastor and brethren in office. He
lold me on his dying bed how much he had
missed them, and now he too has gone. His
esculcheon as a standard bearer in this
church, white and stainless, has fallen from
his hand. Who shall take it up and carry
it forward for Christ and for his people?
He loved this church, was faithful in its
counsels, sought its highest welfare, loved
its prosperin and studied the things that
made peace. But when the close of life
came his confidence was not in his pro'ies-
sions or in his position as ofllccr in the
church, hisconflrlcucc was all in his Savior,
Lord Jesus Christ. The Christian’hopc su's-
tained him to the very last. When every-
thing else .was giving way, this was sure.
He was clear upon this. He loved to hear
the bible read; he seemed especially to en-
joy the prayers that were ofered at his bed
side. He rested upon Christ with a calm-
ness and confidence that was sweet to see.
All that tired and suffering look that rested
upon his face. seemed to .pass away as he
came high the dark valley. As a christian
he lived, as a Christian he died, and has
passed on to his rest.
I would speak. of him also, in passing, as
afriend of education. In this capacity I
formed my first acquaintance with him. For
many years, as at the time of his death, he
was a member of the Board of Education
He has always given his voice,- and his vote,
and his money cheerfuny upon the side of
good andeiiicient schools.
I would speak of him also can citizen.
He was a friend of true progress,aud favored
every movement he 'ihought was for the
highest good ofihe people. His retiring dis-
position, as well as the duties of his busy
profession, kept him from mingling much in
‘public'and ofllcial life. The confidence re-
posed in him was, however. shown by-elrci-
iug hil'n often to positions of trust, and by
sending him to occupy a seat in the General
Assembly of the State. '
On' these more public points of his life I
have but little to' say; his record is with you,
and you know it better than I. I do not
claim for him greatness or perfection. I
only say that the general flavor of his
life was sweet and healthful, and that he
honestly sought to be useful in the place.
where he spent the vigor of his manhood.
I only claim for him a faithful service of his}
generation here like King David, till he fell
on sleep. ’ -
In approaching the thoughts connected
‘with the close of his life, I have great reluc-
tance, that in my intimate acquaintance I
should bring forth that which is too sacred
for public utterance. I have a vivid‘picture
Iin my mind of a home in which a sick man
is walking Within the shadows of the vs'lley
with kind hands to minister to him, with a"
kind voice to soolhc him and assure him,
and with loving hearts almost breaking at
the prospect or his loss. There he is help-
less as a child ; he who has saved so n‘y
not a scene to be dreaded, though the up-
He had been well schooled in aflliciionJearn-r
ing patience by the things that he hstd'suf-,
i'él'ed. We might think that he needed -no
more. Sometimes it seems as though the
Christians were more certain than others to
suffer thus. Not unfrequently do we see the
ungodly passing quietly away having no
pains in their death, while others beloved
of man and God wear outlife by the simple'
force of tormenting pain. God’s reasons
are bid from us, possibly it may beto show
the sustaining mercy of the Christian hope,
or it may be but as a kindling fire to purge
away all the remaining dross,- ihat the pure
gold may come forth at last. The Christian
death bed, while it may be a place of peace
and triumph, the last struggles of acrown-
ing victory may also be a place in which
center great sufferings, and over which roll
the heaviest billows of pain. These are a
part of the’ suffering of the present time. But
the hour of redemption is drawing nigh ;
the darkness, is setting heavily down, but the
light begins to come in from over the river ;
with the last moaning sounds we begin to
hear heavenly melodies ; at evening time it
is c‘oming light '
It is that bright. evening time which
brings with it thoughts of home and of rest
with the friends of early life. We hear him
speak of going home ; he is becoming as a
child again, now that he is'eniering the
he ev.dently hears the sound of home—geing
feet, and the soft murmur of loving recog-
niliou ; his face brightens as though through
the mist he caught glimpses of the beloved.
already at rest. These are words of hope
and peace which (10 yet linger in our cars
“like music floating on‘the air after the hand
of the minsirel has stopped." Such dying
must be a gain. The homely wordsof Geo.
Herbert are now true : .
“Death, thou wast once an uncouth, hideous thing,
But since our Seviour’s death has put some blood
into thy face . ‘
Thou hast grown sure a thing to be desired,
And full of grace."
lf‘ler'all his suffering, after all the afllictions
through which he passed with so much of
patience, he was like grain . ripe for the
garner. He clung to life, and yet he feared
not death ; and why should‘hc ? Death
after all was but his friend. , Why should
we paintdcath as a grim visaged monster 2
If we were heathen we well might; but as
Christians with hope of glowing immortali-
ty, we should picture death as a white robed
angel"; a messenger to conduct children
home,—over this peaceful, hopeful death, I
have no doleful words to utter." My words
are rather those of joy and hope for him.
Why should we wail here when the angels
above sing' him a Welcome ? Why should
we mourn when the end for which he was
born, and the cause for which he was
brought into the world, has, at last, been ac-
tions it well, and entered into his rest.
our cxclaim be with the Apostle, “thanks be
unto God that giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.”
I know you think of the earthly side.
You 'will go liomo to day and look at the
room ; the seat he once occupied; the books
be marked and laid away ; the trees his
hands did plant; the walks those feet did
tread ; the carriage in which he rode—these
and ahundred othef things help make out
the-sufferings of this present time. But do~
you wait a little. By faith in Christ there is
a meeting yonder. Receive the inheritance
that this death is designed to convey ; the
inheritance" Of an earnest and usefui‘lil’e; of
patient submission to all ihntma‘y befall you
in the providence of God ; of calm waiting
for the promised rest. I '
In closing, I would say to all this people,
let me ask you to galherup the impressions
ot'ibis life that has just closed. You shall
miss him whom' we bury tC-dl‘ly. Miss
him on the street, in the sick room and in
this house of prayer. He has gone ; and yet
he shall live on throughihose he loved who
do yet remain. He shall live on through
his deeds, and his words, and his prayers,
these can never die. May his very absence

President Lincoln Slandered a". Cl
_ Inlldel.
' Enrrons or m Guam: ,
Reading the art‘cle on the first page of
your paper of a late issue, “ How the-first
_President was Maligned,” I am reminded of
recent malicious attempts of infidelity to
claim the prestige of President Lincoln’s
nameand send you part of a communication
found in the Christian Monomer Aug.
17th, in which ihewriter describes an in ter-
view with the Martyr President, which set-
isfied him that the religious sentiment ind
feeling expressed by him in leaving Spring-
field for Washington, and at other times
was no pretense, and that he had a sincere
trust in God and in-prayer. ' 4
He concludes thus :—
Aud how can any one read his last in-
auaural, and not be impresited with the be-
Iief that President Lincoln acted under the
influence of deep religious feeliu i '
_It Imll do no harm to read the first hall‘of
the inaugural now, not oulyfto show that
President Lincoln was not an infidel, but
the reading of it may do good in other re-
spects. '
ere it is: ,
“Neither party expecied for the war the
magnitude or the duration which 'it‘has al-
ready attained. ‘Neither, anticipated that
the cause of the conflict might cease with,
or even before .the. conflict’ itself should
cease. Each looked for an easier triumph,
and a result less fundamental and astound-
iii .. .
Both read the same Bible and pray to the
same God, and each invokes His aid against
the other: It may seem strange that any
men should ask ,a just God's assistance in
wringing their bread from the sweet of oth-
er men’s faces, but let us judge not that we
be not judged. The prayers of-b‘othicould
notbe answered. That of neither has. been
answered full . The Almighty has his own
purposes. ‘ oe unto the world because of

infidel ? I -
PRESIDENT cum A'l' LONG mason.
The same number of the Christian 1M9.
gamer that vindicates President Lincoln,
has a. letter from Long Branch, which says :
i I am intim‘e to see a plain buggy, drawn
by a quiet-looking horse, go by amid“ the
throng of flash ' turnouts and elegant family-
chariols that ii the road. The .driver is
alone i u the carriage—a thick-set man, whose
face shows the touch of wind and weather.
He has brown hair and heard, deep eyes a.
square, not a high forehead, and a close ly-
clipped moustache is pressed well upon t e
bearded lower lipby the firm lines of the
mouth. Haisare lifted here-and there as he
passes, and he raises .his inIrespIonsI‘I’e3 but
Willi no change in the habituelgra ply of
his countenance. There is literally nothing
in his vehicle, dresser manner to'distin-
guish him from the hundreds of his fellow-
citizens flocking alou the thoroughhire.
' I meet himalmos; oily in our rides” and
.walksé—alwnys, let me say it! with e‘return
0f the emotions that thrilled me on anApril
morning, seven years agono, when, driven
from my bed by thoughls born. of’Ithe pre-
vious day’s excitement, I beheld through my
window, streaming brightly . and: proudly
from the church lower opposite, the star
spangled banner, and fell to m kneesiu a ‘
burst of glad recollection that 8 war was
over, and our flag uns’ulliedl .
I wish it were proper to speak here of the
glimpses of the . warrior-slatemau’s home
wilh which we have been favored this sum-
war, the proofs we havb had that In private
life he is as decorous and exemplary as he‘
. has showed himself wise and brave in bat-
tle. I uni no more of alpolitician than 19 my
“mouarcbist” friend, r. ——,butI know
whereof I speak when I assert that these
things are true. ,-
