From the German of Heine. Where shall yet the wanderer jaded In the graye at last recline ? t In the South, by palm-trees shaded ? 1 Under lindens by the lttunc V t Shall I in some desert sterile ? lie entombed by foreign hands ? ( Shall I sleep, beyond's life's peril, j By some seacoast in the sands ? c * Well 1 God's heaven will shine as brightly There as here, around my bed, And the stars for death-lamps r.ightly J Shall bo hung above my head. t i i Farmhouse Hotea. To Tan* Skins and Leave the Fub < ox.?Remove the legs and other useless parts; soak the skin soft; remove the flesh and soak the skin in warm water for an hour; take for each skin, of borax, 1 saltpeter hnd glauber salts, pach onehalf ounce; dissolve with soft water sufficiont to allow it to be spread on the flesh side of the skin; apply it with a brush, double the skin together and put in a 1 /?nnl nlaee for twentv-four hours. ( Cements.?A receipt for cement to 1 stop cracks in glass vessels, to resist < moisture and heat, is thus given in the ( Scientific American: Dissolve caseine in cold saturated solution of borax, and with this solution paste strips of hog's > or bullock's bladder (softened in water) on the cracks of gla?s, and dry at a gentle , heat; if the vessel is to be heated, coat the bladder on the outside before it has become quite dry, with a paste of a rather 1 concentrated solution silicate of soda and quick lime or plaster of Paris. antidote for Poison.?We find the ; following commended: If a person swallows any poison whatever, or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous remedy, more efficient and applicable in a larger number of cases than any half a dozen medicines we can now think of, is a heaping teaspoon of common salt, and as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a teacup of water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing with it the remaining contents of the | stomach, and least there be any remnant of a poison, however small, let the white of an egg, or a teacup of strong coffee, be swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet; because these very common articles nullify a larger number of virulent 1 poisons than any medicines in the shops. Success in Fakming.?Much of the success we observe amoDg the best class of farmers, says Coleman's Rural World, results from calculation skill and energy. A man to fully succeed on the farm must be an intelligent investigator. He should i at least understand the character of his soils, and how to handle them, and the best time to do it. He should understand theprinciples of the laws of nature fully and clearly. He must know the effect of each manure upon each particular soil. In fact the successful farmer must be a scholar and a teacher. It is not enough that he knows mechanically how to plow and reap. He should un- ' derstaud when to do it, and the relation of the elements, one to the other. The benefit of a rotation of crops should be a part of his farm knowledge ; subsoiling, the application of manures, and their effects upon each particular cereal should be clearly understood. Any man can be a botch ou a farm if he wills it; but to have success in farming there is much to learn. To be a complete farmer, there is more study, research and experience necessary than to lit a man to be a physician, merchant or lawyer. I To Young Men.?Young man, if you wish to bectfme somebody in the world, ? -i i n x.ii. !i: :_ ana noia a respeciaoie posiuuu m suuicij, do not stand on the street corners or in front of saloons?do not smoke constantly cheap cigars, or chew tobacco; remember young ladies don't wish to have their sweet lips pressed by mouths which are saturated and shrivelled by tobacco juice; and when they swallow politely the smoke which has passed through your lungs and throat, impregnated with any bronchial affection you may have, and out again, the thought is loathing to a refined lady. Young man, do not be indolent and take your mother's money to buy " stove pipe" hats to wear a little on one side, and at'ter.shirkiug work yourself, 01 doing it so badly that you have been discharged, do not look with contempt on the honest mechanic who passes you in the street; and condescendingly nod to yDur tailor and shoemaker whom you owe. Remember he earns his money, while you beg yours or borrow where you cannot pay. Think of yourself and compare your present style to their manliness. Disuusted.?A retired French trades mail was lately much disgusted at finding various valuable personal articles mysteriously absent from their proper places. Residing with him was an old servant* who had lived in the house thirty years, and a nephew. It was impossible for him to suspect either, and yet there was no ground for supposing that the robberies had been effected by anyone outside the house. lie resolved to watch. To his consternation he observed, one or two nights utter, the nephew, in his night" dress, desceid, take various valuable articles, and proceed with them to a sammer-house in the garden. On his return the uncle confronted him, being duly prepared, we may suppose, for ila scene." 11A tt'oo /lIjonnAintn/1 Tim nanlion* an. nc ?ao uioa|/|/viubvv4? **v/ ii u^y* pearcd utterly unconscious of his affectionate relative's presence, and passed quietly upstairs to his room. Next day the uncle taxed him with his extraordinary conduct. The nephew denied all knowledge of it. The surnmer-house was searched, and in a celkr beneath it all the missing articles were found. It is bad enough t? have either a somnambulist or a kleptomaniac in a family, but the two combined is really a trial which we trust, for poor humanity's sake, will remain rare. Good Seed. ? We have met farmers, j says Rural Ntic Yorker, who have a local reputation for producing the best wheat, rye, oats, corn and potatoes, who have < gained and maintained it by a careful se- 1 lection and use of the best seed these re- 1 spective crops produced from year to i year. Some of them have secured what ] are regarded distinct varieties, by watch- f ing their fields and selecting such stalks ] of grain as showed remarkable growth and perfectness of development. Any t farmer with care, can do the same thing, s Emperor William of Prussia. Kate Field famishes a Paris paper the ollowing pleasant gossip about Kaiser iVilliam: "I don't know whether it be the lTect of victory, bat certainly I never saw inch a satisfied looking people as these >erraans. Their complacency is absolutoy exasperating, and I do not wonder that ianguine Frenchmen are driven almost ivild by the sight of a Prussian helmet. V settled ' rock of ages' expression about ;keir faces expresses eternity rather than ;ime, and to associate death with such mpertubable life seems almost impossible. \s to the Emperor, he carries out the idea )f everlasting life by being as active at jeventy-iive as most men are at fifty-five. He is sun, moon and stars to every German nan, woman and child at Ems. "That the Emperor's mind is eminently practical shows itself constantly, and that tie dislikes ostentation is proved by his tife at Ems. Dressed quietly in a suit of pepper-and-salt,' ho appears among the people accompanied by a member of the eourt; 'drinks his water at the spring like every body else, shakes hands with his friends, bows to every body and discourages ceremony of all kinds. " When the Kaiser first went to Ems he sent for all the physicians, receiving them most cordially* and sitting on the end of the table during the entire interview. Upon takiDg leave of them he said : 'Remember, gentlemen, that when you meet me you are not to know me, for I am a poor man and cannot afford to buy many hats.' This was a polite way for telling the gentlemen that it was a great bore for him to return salutations and that he had rather not be recognized. No physician of Ems will be found removing his hat at the approach of the Emperor. ''His reference to poverty is not unfrequent. Upon the birth of one of the Crown Prince's children, a coutier with whom he chanced te be walking drew the Imperial attention to a trinket, remarking that it would be a suitable present for the happy mother. 'Ah no,' replied the cautious Wilhelm, 'that would be a bad precedent, for if my daughter goes on adding to her family as she has begnn, I should eventually be ruined. I am too poor for such extravagance.' "Not long ago he received a beautiful gold and silver escritoire, as a token of gratitude from a wealthy banker whom he had ennobled for largely endowing a hospital. Gazing at the superb gift Wilhelm remarked: 'My subjects are better off than I am. I cannot afford to make my friends such costly presents!' 'I dined with IIis Majesty yesterday,' said a German, whose position is not higher than that of a hotel treasurer. 'IIo is very frank and friendly.' "The Kaiser frequently gives dinners to the officers stationed Hear, or visiting here, and in fact any person in the Government employ, either civil or military, is eligible to this distinction, which is considered ample compensation for exceedingly meager salaries. The Kaiser is very like his photograph, only he is not as a.~.i r?~t good looking as represeineu. ticui auu soldierly in his cairiage, portly, but not obese in figure, he resembles an English country gentleman, or a solid, shrewd man of Boston. "What his chin lacks in force his head makes up in obstinacy, while there is an extreme thickness of neck and breadth of cerebellum that indicate unusual fightiug proclivities and a bull-dog tenacity. I should say it would be difficult to pound a new idea into his head or an old one out." Disui'sted.?A retired French tradesman was lately much disgusted at finding various valuable personal articles mysteriously absent from their proper places. Itesiding with him was an old servant, who had lived in the house thirty years and a nephew. It was impossible tor him te suspect either, and yet there was not the slightest ground tor supposing that the robberies had been effected by any one outside the house. He resolved to watch. To his consternation he ob served, one or two nights after, the nephew, in his night-dress, descend, take various valuable- articles, and proceed with them to a summer-house in the garden. On his return the uncle confronted him, being duly prepared, we may suppose, for a "scene." he was disappointed. The nephew appeared utterly unconscious of his affectionate relative's presence, and passed quietly up-stairs to his room. Next day the uncle taxed him with his extraordinary conduct.

I Ions k Power.?The term horsepower bears among engineers three very different meanings, being, however, generally qualified by the adjectives nominal, indirect* or actual, each of which refers to certain special data upon which the estimate of power is based. Nominal horse-power is generally estimated from the diameter of the cylinder, the length of the stroke, multiplied by a certain standard velocity of piston and pressure of steam. A9 each engineer decides for himself what this pressure and velocity shall be, the standard varies with different makers, and for all practical purposes a statement of the diameter of cylinder and length of stroke would convey a far clearer idea than any mere expression of nominal horse-power. Some Scotch miners at Wishaw recently did a remarkable thing. They voluntarily refused an advance of a shilling a day in their wages,on the ground that the coal masters had raised the price of coal seven shillings per ton. The men were unwilling to lie under the imputation of having occasioned this ise, and so, in a public meeting, requested the masters to "take the last idvance off the price, and take back the hilling," How Ah Sin Keeps the Day. The San Francisco Bulletin says it is the custom among Chinese house ser- ' vants to stipulate with their employers 1 for a portion of Sunday, on which day 1 they visit their countrymen in the ( Chinese quarter, talk over the news from home, have their heads shaved, go through with their genuflections and salaams in joss houses, smoke opium, &3., some of them closing up the day's performances by gettiBg rid of their week's wages in the Chinese gambling houses, which are so thickly located along Dupont street. The sidewalks swarm with these gregarious beings, whose nature it is to huddle in flocks on the surface and burrow in bauds beneath. Their dens are hives of industry on week days, and rooms reeking with smoke on Sundays. A visitor who ventures inside has to step over the prostrate bodies of opium smokers, and feel his way through clouds of smoke, meantime holding his nose against a sickening stench of fetid breath, decayed lish?in short, a conglomeration of odors nowhere to be found outside of a cellar reeking with the fumes of a crowd of Chinese. For the sake of the delectable pleasure to be found m such places, John frequently refuses to take good situations in the country; like Bridget, he must be in town, where he can at least once a week see his "cousin." Xlie uninese nave hosts of relatives; uncles and cousins? especially the latter?are counted by the score. They regard as cousins those several removes further than a white man ever thinks it worth his while to inquire. These "cousins" are generally friends, all belonging to the same commercial company, and when they meet on Sunday, the jabbering is energetic beyond description. All day and late in the night John keeps up his round of visits among his cousins, but manages to be on hand Monday morning, ready for work, which he generally performs cheerfully, and with fidelity. Diabolical Thieves.?The Journal des Debats quotes a letter dated Nijhi Novgorod, in which an account is given of a daring robbery perpetrated by thieves of that place. The correspondent says: "On the 3d of September at 7 o'clock, the great theatre which contains one thoussnd persons, was full. The piece represented was a favorite one,entitled "Crime and its Punishment." Among those present were the leading military and civil officers, the head of the police, and a large number of police officers. "While tho first act was being played, and the attention of the spectators was fixed on the stage,a report was suddenly heard, a slight smoke filled the upper part of the theatre, and a cry of "fire" was raised. Everybody rushed to the doors but only one was open. Terror became general when this was discovered. The crowd was enormous, and persons were thrown down and trampled upon. The thieves who had combined to cause this alarm took the opportunity of seizing whatever they could lay their hands upon. They tore earrings from the women and stole watches and 6tuds from the men. This scene lasted for about ten minutes, the people employed in the theater and the police made it known that there was no trace ot fire. "When tranquility had been restored, inquiry was made respecting the articles stolen, and if was found that the value exceeded 100,000 roubles. Several persons were killed; three men and a woman were taken to the hospital dangerously wounded, and an actress received a very serious wound. The thieves contrived to escape. Is Russia.?Little graia is raised in Russia, above St. Petersburg, and that little, so damp is the climate, must be kilndried for preservation. In some localities barley is sown as far north as Mesen ; but it is only three or four times in a century that the season is warm enough and long enough to bring it to perfection, , and it is usually cut as fodder for the cattle. All these latitudes depend mainly for their cereals upon the richer harvests of the south ; but their rivers are stocked with fish, myriads of wild fowl find a home in the woods and by the lakes, mushrooms abound, and the swamps are filled with cranberries and whortleberries that ripen despite the frosty air. "The wealth of this region, from the Gulf of i Bothnia to the Oural, is in its forests and fisheries. The people are wood-cutters, hunters, fishers, workers in metals, charcoal-burners, preparers of tar and pitch and potash, makers of mats and of various utensils from the bark of the linden, and of coarse linen and cordage from the tlax and hemp of their low-lying fields. A Reporter's Credentials.?The St. Louis reporters have queer credentials to public entertainments. A few days since one made application for entrance to the fair grounds. The following conversation- mcicuiwu cusucu ucumu him and the guardian of the gate : "Got a ticket, sir ?" "No, sir." " Well, you can't go iu then?stand aside." "But I'm a reporter for the Globe." "Show me your credentials." "Well, here are three passes on the Iron Mountain Railroad, one on the Belleviile branch of the Cairo Short Line, one on the St. Louis and Southeastern, one on the Fifth street road. Here's a copy of the Globe, a ticket on a Chinese laundry, a restaurant bill of fare, two toothpicks, a clean hankerchief, a bunch of keys and a pipe." "Pass in, sir." A Mysteiiy.?It's a deep mystery?the way the heart of mau turns to onewoman out of all the rest he's seen i' the world, and makes it easier for him to work seven years for her, like Tabob did for Rachel, sooner than have any woman for th' asking. I often think of them words, " And ! Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and fliey seemed unto him but a few days, for j the love he had to her." \ The Reward of Rashness. The Herisfa of Naples contains the folowing account of the loss of two gentlenen in the crater of Vesuvius, who with jreat temerity insisted on being lowered lown to the dark cavern immediately below the orifice of the crater : "A party was formed to ascend Mount Vesuvius in the Caffe di Europa. The party consisted of two Americans, three Englishmen, and one Frenchman. They took cairiages from the caffe for Iiesina, reaching there at halt-past eleven p. m. Having procured horses, guides, and other necessaries, they started for the burning mouutain and began the ascent, one Luigi Garoglio leading as cicerone, and arrived at the base of the uppermost cone further than which horses do not go. The tourists then began the ascent over the hillocks and boulders of lava until the vicinity of the crater was reached, when Messrs. Jame9 Vile-ox and Francois Le Mieur, an American and a Frenchman, insisted on being lowered down to the cavern which is formed below the mouth of the volcano. The guides, who provided themselves with ropes for that purpose, complied with the rcquett of the foreigners and lowered Tho beincr ner WlCUi UUIIU, X iiv D 4 fectly quiet no danger was anticipated: but when one of the party above the crater called out to the rash adventurers, no answer was returned. The guides growing anxious, cried, " Gentlemen, it would be better for you to hold on to the ends of the ropes." Still the ropes remained slack, and no answer came from the sulphurous and murky cavern below, Twenty minute? passed and the adventurers were yet silent. It was then proposed that one of the guides should bt lowered down and hold on to the rope< nntil he had investigated the appearance of the cavern base. lie had hardly en tered when he cried out loudly: Su! su! non e'e niente che una pietra strettissima!" (" Up ! up! there's nothing here but a very narrow rock!") As far as any living person can tell the rest, the unfortunate strangers, the vie tims of their own imprudence,were hurlec into the mysterious abysses of Mounl Vesuvius. In this same month, sixteen years ago two Englishmen of birth and fortune, ant a French comedian committed the same terrible error. The same ambition whicl urged them to scale the icy heights o the Matterhorn also nerved them to searcl insidious Vesuvius while it slept, ant they were either lost in some labyrinth o lava and ashes or smothered by vapor o sulphur. Holland as It Is. ~?wl TJ/-v!l (in/1 iroo tliA IrtWPA i> UHLM1 M1IU iiunauu nua ouv country of the globe, but he was mistaken The greatest depression in the earth' surface is found in the plains about tin Dead Sea, thirteen hundred feet belot the level of the Mediterranean. Had hi said the lowest in Europe, he wouh doubtless have been correct, as a larg part of the land is thirty feet below th surrounding sea level. The greater par of the country is composed of the mud o the Rhine, as the soil of Egypt has beei formed from the deposits of the Nile What has not come from the many-mouth ed Rhine is the gift of the sea. Hollan< dikes against the serf from without un< the rivers from within, and these stream present the same difficulty as the Missis sippi?the gradual rising of the bed fron alluvial deposit, and the consequent ueces 'sity of additional diking. For a numbe of years the water of the rivers, like i wild beast in leash, has been led to th sea by embankment, but this does no always prove sufficient There are French scientists who have theory that Holland is gradually and con tinually sinking, and will ultimately dit appear. This opinion rests on researche made at three separate points of the coun try, which show, according to these geolc gists, that the level has undergone con ui/iorni.ia <l^nrr*s?ir>n. The nrocess is s ~ 1 4 slow, hewever, should the theory prov true, that the inhabitants of the presen and following centuries will hardly b disturbed. There is an old legendar prophecy of like tenor hovering about th fishermen's villages on the coasts, tha the sea will one day take back what wa once taken from it. But before such submersion takes place, the ingenuity c man may doubtless be relied on for find ing some means of averting the disaster c Atlantis. Customs in gexeva.-One of the queer est of Gcnevese customs is their manne of conducting their auctions. When man bids, a wax taper is lit, and his bn holds good as long as the taper lasts. I taper is lit for every bidder. Of cours< the last and highest bidder has the bes chance. A long-side of the auction shouh be placed the other queer custom tin Genevese have, of making the world, a: far as in them lies, to stand still foi a couple of hours in the middle of tin day. Nothing can keep your ordinary oitizen of Geneva from throwing every thing aside at noon, and going to dinner. The banker locks up between twelve an< two, going on with business in the after noon. Even the coachman, that you lmv< taken by the hour, will want to leave yoi between twelve and one. The fact is there has been nothing on the (ieneves, stomach but bread and codec since tin night before. It is unquestionably th< meagreness of their breakfasts whicl makes thorn so prompt to disappeai between twelve and two.

A man nearly fifty years old, nai Alexander Deming, living on Labr street, and owning a vacant lot in Sixth ward, worth $1,500, got 011 s| about a week ago, and fell into the hi of two rascals, who deserve at lea: ducking. One of them is a young named Kidder, a machinist, and the o a stranger in the city, but a friern Kidder. When Deming started out had about 860 with him, and his in tion was to purchase a cow #f a ma: Woodford avenue. He was met by der, asked to drink, and then the tw< down in a saloon on Michigan avenue began to gamble. So infatuated did I ing become that he did not return h but once in four days.
