The Working Man. The noblest men I know on earth Are men whose hands are brown with toil, 1 Who, backed by no ancestral groves, Hew down the wood and till the scil; And win thereby a prouder name lhan follows king or warrior's fame. The working men, wbate'er the task, Who carve the stone or tear the hod, They bear upon their honest brows The royal stamp and seal of God ; ' And worthier are their drops of sweat Than diamonds in a coronet. God bless the noble working men, Who rear the cities of the plain, Who dig the mines, who build the ships, And drive the commerce of the main ; God bless them ! for their toiling hands Have wrought the glory of all lands.

Sowing Wheat.?A very nice experi merit was m:ide last year by Professor Daniels, of the University of Wisconsin Experimental Farm, on the Wheat question, by which it was found in six plots of seed sown, from three pecks to two bushel", the weight of grain was, in proportion to the amount sown, in favor of the largest quantity sown ; for instance : 3 4 bushel of seed to 'lie acre prodtic d 263 lbs. grain, or 17 53 bushels, or 820 < lbs. stiaw and crain. 1 bushel produced 297 1-2 lbs., 19 83 bushels, or 899 lbs. ( gr ?in and straw. 114 bushels produced 332 3 4 lbs., 2616 bushels, L146 lbs. ( grain and straw. 11-2bushels produced 1 396 1 2lbs., 26.16 bushels, and 1,334 lbs. grain and straw. 2 bushels produced | 455 1-4 lbs., 39 1 8 bushels, and 1.412 lbs. grain and straw. On the plot where 13 4 bushels were sown a local cause gave on unfair result; in each instance ! the weight per bushel was 60 lbs. or , more, the highest being in the plot where 2 bushels of seed were sown, which was 601 2 pounds. The seed should be sown 1 not less than two nor more than three < inches deep. The Dtet or Fowls.?The diet of i gallinaceous birds, when they are in a wild state, contains a larg-* proportion , of highly - seasoned or aromatic substances. The buds and berries plucked ' in the forest are generally spicy, or well ' flavored with bounnet, or are peppery or i pungent. Hence the peculiar game flavor possessed, as every epicure know*, bv the flesh of wild auimaK Our cul tivated grains have a delicious aroma, as proved by newly-popped corn, or the j fragrance of a loaf fresh from the oven. The flavor of wheat belongs more especially to the portion of the kernel nearest the hull, one reasou for the popularity of graham flour. The flavoring principle iu articles of food such as fruits, , nots, grains, or other seeds, consists in n peculiar volatile oil. Now, aroma, b liquet, flavor, or whatever we chooso tc call it, in food, possesses almost univer- l sally a tonic of stimulating propriety. It gives zeal to the appetite, and aids digestion. To apply these remarks to the diet of fowls ; though grain is aromatic, it is but slightly so when compared with the intensely seasoned forest-fare of the partridge, wild turkey, or th< parent of our domestic fowl, the wild junsde heu of India. To restore the lost 1..1 A1 / 1_ A IT A. * oaiance, mereiore, oerween me nutritive and stimulating properties of the food of our poultry, a little cayenne pepper, ground mustard, or ginger may be added to their dough, meal, or mashed potatoes, with decided benetit to their health and prolificness. Jeuvsalim. ? Jerusalem cannot be truthfully described as an enterprising city at the present time. Its chief native industries are the manufacture of soap, which is not largely consumed by the resident population, and of what is called Jerusalem ware, consisting of chaplets, crucifixs, beads, crosses, and the like, made principally of mother-ofpearl and olive wood, and sold to the pilgrims who annaully report to the Holy city to the number of 6,0o0 or 8,000. It also exports olive oil and grain. The ' population of Jerusalem is estimated at 18,000. of whom about 8,000 are Mnhom etans, 8,000 to 9,000 Jews, and* the rest Christians of various denominations. The employment of the people is almost wholly agricultural and pastoral, but the vast aud fertile plains around the city are 1 only partially tilled owing to the want of protection against the predatory eieur- ' sions of the Bedouin tribes inhabiting ' the outskirts of the district. A little cotton of an inferior quality, raised from native seed, is growing and exported to Marseilles. The American colony which was establish ?d at Jappo has been starve d out and replaced by a band of Germans numbering 200 souls. The road to Jordan has been repaired at the cost of a lady whose name is not given, but it ic still a hard road to travel in consequence j of the swarms of Bedouins who infest that region. Bt Whol*sale.?A distinguished engineer, who is connected with Rome of the roost honorable families in Italy, has just been arrested at Florence, charged : with attempting to murder on a whole- 1 sale scale. It appears he was involved in ] financial troubles, and, with a view to |' extricate himself by means of the pro 1 perty of his friends, which he expected to inherit, the wretched man tried to j poison, by morphine, no fewer than 1j eighteen individuals, among whom were j his father, brother, wife, and his own children. The Gavlois says he is plainly mad, as it is not possible to believe ' any man endowed with reason would try to accomplish such crime.

Thompson, who bad charge of the fourth boat of toe Bien- a ville, burned at sea, is as follows: I "I sailed in the Bienville from New s York on the 10th of August as steerage } pa>senger. My destination was San Fran- t cisco. On the morning of the 15th, while t lying in my buDk, I was awakeued by c some one roughly seizing me and saying, t "Get up, the ship is on fire !" 1 got up s and saw a thick smoke in the steterage. I i; went immediately on deck and saw the v crew tning to get hose. The fire was t supposed to be in the bold, and every ef- s fort was made to direct the hose to the g fire. The scene on deck was quite orderly. ] Tne passengers and crew were gathered r aft. Owing to the breaking ol the donkey ] engine all efforts to subdue the fire were 1 useless. The order was then given to 1 place tarpaulins over the hatch, which was } done. Preparations were then made to | linn/th fVio hnote at>T7??ri in nnmhpr which c was done successfully, with the exception J of one, which was stove in and swamped, t The captain then gave orders for the pas- ( sengers and crew to get into the boats. } This was immediately done, and it was \ found that the boats were considerably ] crowded. The one to which I was detail- g ed was especially, there being th:rty-one t in her, her capacity being only for twenty- i five. Our beat was in a very bad condition s and leaking fearfully. There were five of f the crew, three ladies and the rest male ] passengers. We got away from the ship, v and we found we had no room to woik her a or even bale her out, and as she was in a g sinking state we called to the ship to send r another to take some of us off, so as to c lighten her. We saw a boat approach. c commanded by the second mate, named r Gough, and on reaching us he ordered three j, others in instead of lightening U3. Oneof j them was very unwilling to come, but the I mate threatened with oaths to throw him a in. The man then jumped in and lrnme t diately the boat swamped and turned keel { uupermost. Some immediately swam to ^ other boats, others clung tc the spats and | ten J ersons were drowned. The conduct t of the second mate was be irtless in the o pxtreme. Although he saw women and t men struggling m the water for their lives t he ordered bis boat away as last as possi t ble, not attempting to save one of them t We swam around (he boat, trying to right t her, for some time ; at last we succeeded. e She was then full of water, and we had no o means of bailing her; so ten of us cot on a ?ach side, supporting ourselves by clinging . ro the boat; and we remained in that cor- <r P dit'on over eight hour?. We then saw a wreck ot a boat, contairing five men. We made towards it. and abandoned our boat, j which being lightened, enabled us, with the assistance of the other boat, to bail ber nit. At this time a heavy shower fell. c w hicb somewhat calmed the sea, and made t it easier for us to get our boat right again. t We were in sight of the burning ship all () this time; the other boats were all away. c During this day we were engaged in rig- ^ ging up our boat, with an oar for a mas* and the ladies dresses for sails. We broke up tbc old boat, and from a stave of her c rigged up a jib sail. Towards evening the v ship exploded and went down. We were about two miles distant from her. We ^ then sailed before the wind to what we ^ believed to be the nearest land, which we reached in two days and two nights. Wt j landed on San Salv ador on Friday night. We found accommodation, but slept on the beach that night. Next n oining we found , a shanty inhabited by negroes, who were very kind to us?extraordinarily so?supplying us with every thing they had. The \ ladies were in a sad plight, being without food and water all the time and under a scorching sun. Their arms wore very badIv blistered, but they bore up very well. We were then provided for by Mr. Stuart, the magistrate of the island, until the fol- ^ lowing Tuesday, when a fifteen ton sloop v was chartered, which conveyed us to Nassau, a distance of one hundred and twenty- r five miles. Our safety in reaching San ' Salvador is entirely due to Peter Barry, * an able seaman on the ship, who displayed ' admirable courage ami wonderful contrivance in rigging up and navigating our small craft. Had it not been for this r man's intrepidity we should certainly never s have survived. I have now reached New ! York penniless, all my clothing gone, 1 watches jewelry, and everything 1 posses- l! ed. Just previous to closing the hatches ^ of the ill-fated vessel I endeavoied to get ^ at my trunk, where my money and jewelry c were deposited, but the smoke was so 1 dense I was unable to do so, and hearing a the order issued to close the hatches, I im a mpflintt'lv* rpfnmrrf. On hnard flip shin. ^ under the captain's eye, everything was conluctcd orderly and well; but in the e hoats I never witnessed such heartless ? ciuclty as practised by the subordinates in command. However, it is now over, and I thank God for my safe deliverance from 1 this terrible calamity." a American Girls.?T. W.

Billj Forrester, alias Billy Marshall, lias Billy or Frank Campbell, alias vro Yank IlardiDg, alias Frank Howard, the wl upposed murderer of Nathan, the New np< fork banker, was arrested in Washingon, D. C. He acknowledges himself to up >e Forrester but denies all knowledge g0, >f the murder. The rewards offered for his man amount to about ?16,000, out- tw ide of the Nathan murder, of which he be s suspected, but which remains to be on >roven. After his arrest he telegraphed < o New Orleans for his baggage to be fle Put .to Barney Aaron, New York, and ays he is lately from the South. Biliy ?orresttr, whose name forms one of his . pr, nany aliases, was born in Scotland in | wj .835, and at an early age removed with lis parents, who were hard-working, wj lonest people, to New York. Penniless, le was, like many another honest young ^ ellow, led into mischief of one kind md anothef, until he gradually bloomed orth as a full-blown thief, one that A < vould do almost any thing for the sake >f money. Most of his crimes have SCI >een committed in the West and South, mt not a few date from New York City. |je has been in many State prisons and is an instance of his daring, and the isks he will run to do friends a service, t is related of him that a few months ince a Dumber of his friends were con- I J ined in one of the stoutest jails in New fork State. The crime they were in for vas certain to give each along sentence nd their friends used every endeavor to; 6 ,ret them out without avail, until Forester took the matter in hand. One ?[ lark night he went to the jail, and. limbing over a twelve-fcot outer wall, . ;ot to the outside door, and picking the lfc' cx*k of it with a tool used for that pur>ose, he passed into another room, where le found the turnkey lying on a cot sleep. Going up to him, Forrester m< cry adroitly abstracted the keys from te' lis belt, and proceeding directly to the ells, unlocked the doors and liberated lis friends, three in number?all making heir escape without being seen. After felling his friends out. Forrester locked on he cell doors, and going back to where *tr he jailor was lying, very coolly replaced he keys in his belt, and going out a hrough the same door, locked it with tni he same instrument with which he had fleeted an entrance.

The New York caisson is ao; ompleted, and the masons have for some m. itne been at work on the tower, and the ngineers calculate on laying two courses f masonry a week until the tower is ?p ompleted. These courses are each four un eet in height. The superstructure has 8e] iow reached an altitude of twenty-four ^ eet above hisrh water, eight hundred jP( ubic yards of masonry being laid every jji reek. There are about fifty men employ- |,j, d on the structure, and tliey are under co he personal supervision of four engineers, leaded by Colonel Roebling. The stone be omes from Maine, and is 6tored at Red th look, opposite Governor's Island. It is cli alculated at present that a supply of trt ight hundred yards of stone is on hand. It V. scow plies between the structure and uo he island every day. From this scow pr he stone is lifted by steam to the dock, en vhere at a certain point two tracks come di ogether. The stone is placed on two fai :ars and conveyed to the structure, to m; he top of which it is raised by means of foj team derricks and placed in proper do msition. Then the spaces are filled up sn vith concretes composed of cement, sand by ind gravel. Even this is mixed by ha nachinery. A revolving shaft is used to sei >erform this operation, which is found to fig >emuchmoie thorough and more econ- mi mical than it could possibly be by hand. Ioj Vater is poured on in regulated quantities pa >y one woikman from a hose, as the shaft ge evolves, and mixed with the cement, qu and and gravel, forming a plastic com til >ound. From forty to fifty yards a day of co his material is used. After this structure th< * completed, the next step will probably vq ie the building of anchorages on the New of .'ork and Brooklyn sides. These will all; ach be 800 feet inland from the towers, he New York one at the corner of Water nd Dover streets, and the Brooklyn nchorage at the corner of James and fercein streets. It is expected that the ower will be raised about vext June, verything being favorable to the progress pn f the work.? A". Y. Paptr. t,-f, tir New York Sion-Men.? The.

But this sort of ling won't go down. The stomach of our common ense rejects it, as the physical stomach of every lan with an undepraved palate rejects, with loathing nd abhorrence, the nauseous abominations, "free rom alcohol," which hnmbugs are trying to thrust own the throats of Temperance Invalids under the. retense that the filth will do them good I It is not ikely that while Plantation Brrrr.es. the Standard 'onic ot America, is anywhere accessible, such sickning frauds can make much headway, but it is as rell to put the public on their guard against them.

If a deficiency of vital energy is not a disease in itself b is a condition which lays the system open to the stacks of all conceivable maladies. Night aud day we are urrounded more or less by deleterious influenoes. No tmosphere is entirely pure, no water utterly free from ajurious particles ; while in many localities both artmsitively unwholesome. What defence has the weak, inguid system in which the vital principle is deficient r dormant, against any of the morbid influences which iroduce epidemio and other diseases ? None whatever, 'here is no safety save in artificial reinforcement. Hoeetfcer's Stomach Bi'ters have, beyond all question, a italixing effect. If the nervous forces of the body have pen recklessly expended in exhausting physical or lental labor, or dissipated in the indulgences of a "fast" fe, this powerful vegetable tonic and corrective will estore them.
