before the Maryland agricultural society, gives
it as his opinion that "triumphs of the bar and
medical theatre have won many yotaries to the
professions"-and then proceeds to say

The Good Old Plough.

Let them laud the notes that in music float
Through the bright and gittering hal;
While the amorous whirl of the hairs bright
CURL
Round the shoulder of beauty falls;
But dearest to me is the song from the tree,
And the rich and the blossoming bough,
Oh, these are .he sweets which the rustic,
greets,
As he follows the good old Plough
All honor be then to those gray old men,
When at last they are bowed with toll,
Their warfare then DER they battle no more,
For they've conquered the stubborn soil;
And the chaplet he wears, is his silver hairs;
And ne'er shall the victor's brow,
With laurel crown in his grave 90 down,
Like the sons of the good old Plough.

PATENT GRAIN DRILL.

THIS machine took the premium diploma and
L silver medal at the great Ohio State Fair,
held at Cincinnati ON the I'd, Sd and 18th days
of October last. As to simplicity and effect it
has no equal. The machine is free from every
possible objection, and is just such one as the
farmers have long needed. BY once passing
over the land it harrows the ground, sows the
seed with the most exact regularity and precs

many sections of the United States, especially
in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New

ground and will soon be universally adopted.

The HOLY Places DesOIatc.

After peace of thirty-three years duration,
the Wahhabis have suddenly fallen upon and
pilIaged the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
The garrison of the latter place having attcmp-

Il large number of citizens persisted with them.
The mosques were destroyed, all their contents
of any value appropriated, the cities completely
sacked, and numbers of women and children
carried off to the desert The courier who car

they could bring into the field 200, 900 warriors.
They believe as true Musseimen, in one God,

in denying to the latter any claim to Divine
power. They accept the Koran in its primitive

The Poor Mans Book.
BY GEO. W. BUNGAY


Tn, winds have blown the smoke away
Cold is the forge and husaed the mill;
The 'toil worn cotter" rests to-day
Traffic is mute and Labor still.
The embarrassed horse feeds on the green,
The laborng OK rests in the shade
A holy calm pcryades the scene,
And beauty smiles from hill and glade
The modest flowers that light the clod,
Like drops OF sunshine from the sky,
Bow their sweet heads and worship God,
Aud send their sweet praise on high.
Beneath his fig tree and his vine,
Beside the lowly cottage door,
The poor man reads the precious line
OF promise to the humble poor.
The Bible is the poor mans law,
4 bles ,ed boon to mortals given,
ladder such as JACOB. saw,
With angles coming down from heaven.
