Masonic Explorations <tf Palestine. Our readers are aware that for nearly a year, a plan bas been on foot for a Ma? sonic participation in Holv Land explora? tions, under the lead of Lr. Rob. Morriu. Dr. aim rib act nail irom Wow York, Feb? ruary let. Ho goes tia Franee directly to Beyrout, in Syria, where his headquarters will bo during several months. A very largo and general interest has been taken by tho Masonic fraternity, in tho success of this enterprise. Before his departure from New York, Dr. Morris prepared the following poem, of which he sends us a copy as hi? farewell, and requests Its in? sertion: MIZPEH. ["Words of farewell lo "Brothers and Fellows of the mystic fie."] "They took stones and made au heap. And bo said, this heap is a witness be? tween mo and thee. Therefore was tho name of it called MIZPEH; for he said, tho LOUD watch between mo and thee when wo are abRent, ono from another." Gr.M. SIS xxxi, 46. Mi/.r-F.n! well named the patriarchal stone, Onco fondly reared in Gilead's mouu taiu-pasel Doubtless tho EVE-ALL SEEING did look down Upon that token of fraternal grace; And doubtless HF. who reconciled thoao men, Between them ^watched, until they met again. So looking eastward on the angry sea Tho wintry blast, inhospitably stern Counting tho scanty moments left to mo Till I go heneo-and haply not return I would, oh brother, build a Mizr-En too, Bv?c?chiiig Gun to icuic'n. twixt mo and you. It was His providence that mado us one, Who "otherwise perpetual strangers" wore; He joined our hands in amity alone, .And caused our hearts each other's woes to hear; He kindled, in our sonls, fraternal fire, Befitting children of a common SIKE. In mutual labors wo havo spent our lifo In mutual joys, sported at labor's close With mutual strength, warred againet hu? man strife And Bootlied, with mutual charity, its woes; So, sharing mutually what Gon has given, With common faith wo seek a kindred Heaven. Bring stones, bring stones, and build an HEAP with roe! Bear up our Mizr-En though with many tears .Before I trust mo to yon stormy sea, Hither with memories of many years! Como round mo, mystic laborers, ouco more, "With loving gifts upon this wintry ehore! Bring prayer-the WATCIIEU in tho heavens will heed; Bring types, significant of heavenly hope; Bring words, in whispers only to bo said; Bring hand-grasps, strong to lift the helpless up; Bring all those reminiscences of light, That havo inspired us many a wintry night. Lay them on M rzeui! and tho namos re? vered Of thoso who've vanished from our mys? tic band; Are wo not taugb -vith tho faithful dead, In tod'je Cetestii, * shall enroly stand; Oh crown tho pile, n, with the goud am bloat. Whoso memories linger though they arc at rest. Finished-and now I hop?!, what e'er betide, Though wandering far toward Orienta sun, Bo who looked kindly on that mountain Bide, Will watch between us till my work it done; Xord God Almighty! whenco all blessing! are, Behold our Mizrsn and regard our prayer Bo my defenders while in foreign lands; Ward off the shafts of calumny accurst My labors vind?calo while MizrEit stands And hold my family in eaorcd trust; Should I no more behold them, fond am dear, I leave them, brothers, to Masonic caro. Finally, brothera-if in carolesB mood, Forgetting pledgea aoalcd on 'Vor? Divine, I've injured any of tho brotherhood Imputo it not, this parting hour, a sin Forgive! lo, HE, by whom all creature live, Grants us forgiveness, even aa ire forgivt WANTS.-A young gentleman 01 the point of getting married is de ?irons of meeting a man of oxpc rienoo who will dissuade him fror tho step. A young man advertises for boarding-house where his pious e? ample would bo considered equiv? lent for board and lodging. A steady young ninu is wanted t look after a horse of tho Methodii persuasion. A lady winhes n. husband having Human nose, with strong religio? tendencies. A cottugo containing eight roon and an aero of land is wanted. A wholesale house advertises ft women to sell on commission. A tencher advertising for scholai to tho school of Freeman ?fe Hogg says: "Freeman teaches the boys un Hoggs thc girls." "Nominate your poison," is tl lust expression used in Indiana i lieu of tho matter-of-fact "Win will you have to driuk?" During the .war, Capt. O-, a quartermaster, stationed in Lexing? ton, Ky., loaned his little sou, Jamie, an exceedingly diminutive and gentle mule. Ono morning Jamie came running to his mother, avA ?eid: "Mamma, may I curry my mule?" "Why do you wish to corry him?" "Because I want to make the hair grow out over his U. S." A famous judge came late to court one day in busy season, whereat his clerk, in great surprise, inquired of him the reason. "A child was born," his honor said, "and I'm tho happy eire." "An infant judge?" "Oh, no," said he, "as yet he's but a crier." A celebrated lawyer once said that the three most troublesome clients he ever had wero a young lady who wanted to be married, a married woman who wanted a divorce, and an old maid who didn't know what she wanted. Josh Billings says if a man is going to make a business of serving the Lord, he likes to see him do it when ho measures onions, ns well as when he hollers hallelujah. Why is a son who object? to his mother's second marriage, like an exhausted pedestrian? Because he can't go a step-father. "Figures c.iu't lie," says tho arith? metician. "You can't say that about women's figures in these days," re? sponds tho slanderous dress-maker. Fresh Crackers. FRESH S IDA.

Roberta A Co., Atlatita, Ca. i Gentlemen: I am well pleased with tho I result of the use of tho "Double Relined i Poudretto" on my crops. I tried it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied wherever it was applied tho yield waa more than j double what it would havo been without it. 1 regret exceedingly my not using it moro I extensively tho present year, but will try to make up my loss by purchasing a larger quantity next spring. I regard it as tho cheapest, most reliable, and easieat man? aged fertilizer within my knowledgo, and cheorfully recommend it (as I havo tried it thoroughly) to thc farmers of thia aoctiou, and particularly to thoao planting cotton, from tho fact of ita causing 'it to mature from ten days to two weeks earlier than it would without tho usc of tho Poudretto. I also used it on mv gardon, and found it of much bonetH to all kinda of plants. Very respectfully, Ac. G. t?. OGLESBY. Extract from a letter received from Prof. Martin, of Hampden. Sidney College, Va., dated July 1, 1807: The Donnie Relined Poudrette is operat? ing liko a charin on my crop, and attract? ing universal attention from all beholders, I am already satisfied that it ia the cheap oat and aureat renovator of our worn-out landa. - High Shoah, Ga., October 4, 18G7. James ll. Dev, Eso. Sir: Tho Double Relined Poudretto I bought for two other parties in connection with myself-one of them used it .on cotton and corn, and thinks it answered finely; the other put it on cotton, on very poor ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. I used it on corn, lt answered lindy, and was thought by the hand that cultivated tho crop to be fully equal to Rhode's Super Phosphate I also used it on about an acre of cotton, and I am ?dearly of opinion that it ia the best and cheapest fertilizer in uae, and 1 expect to order several tona this winter. Yours, verv respectfully, ISAAC POWELL. Ellaville, Schleg Co., Ga., Oct. 4,18f>7. Tho Doublo Refined Poudretto, pur? chased of you last spring, I think, in? creased my crop of cotton 130 ponnda per acre; put it upon worn-out pine land, at tho rate of 200 pounds per acre, drilled in with cotton seed.

I consider it an excellent manure. Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE. Riilgewaxj, S. C., September ll, 18G7. Mr. James R. Dey. Sir: i applied tho Double Relined Pou droite by itself, and in combination wit! other fertilizers,on cotton, and am please? with it; so much so that it is my present intention to purchase a larger supply o you tho next year to apply to niycottoi crop. Yours vi ry respectfully, HENRY C. DAVIS. Hock g Mount, Edgecomb Co., X. C. .Yon 13 James R. Dey. Esq. air: In reply to your Inquiry of tho re suits ??f our experience in the usu of you improved Poudrette-purchased of you fo thia year's cotton crop-WO would beg leavi to say that the present season has boil one quilt; unfavorable lo the action of al fertilizers. Several kinds of manures were used I.; us, with the ? xeepti n of yonr Poudrette with little or no effect lo the crop. When- the Poudrette was lived, it gav us near half a Uiu moro per acre, and caused the cotton to open much earlier; and wo would, therefore, recommend the samo as a concentrated manure for tho growth of cotton, aa well as improvement to tho boil. Yours, very respectfully, HENRY P. STULTS A BRO. Address for further particnlsrs, LODI MANUFACTURING CO., Nov 14 Hmo fifi Cortland StreeLN. Y. _ "The Queen of Medicine."
