LAKE OF HARLEM.-This lake. as some
Of our readers probably remember was
drained, or to speak more correctly, its wa
tiers were pumped out; and its former bed
is now used for agricultural purposes. The
lake was thirty three miles in circumfer-
ence. Land is precious in the Netherlands,
and the Government concluded to invade
the waters for more. A deep canal, with a
dyke was accordingly dug around the lake,
and the water was first drawn OFF into the
canal, and thence conveyed to the sea by
means of -four immense steam engines Eff
ty thousand acres Of rich arabic land were
thus reclaimed, and the government has re-
paid itself by sales for the cost of an enter
plise which required four years to accom-
plish. There are millions Of acres OF
marsh and swamp lands in Illinois and Iowa.
that can be drained and made the best quail
ity Of arabic land, at tenth part of the cost
OF draining Lake Harlem. All that iswan-
ted to d. tits capital Chicago Tribune.

Select poetry,
SPURN NOT THE POOR.

SPuRN not the poor man, spurn him not,
Though horny be his hands;
Nor gold nor silver he has got,
Nor houses, no, nor lands.
Yet cast not thou that >corniul glance
Upon his sunburnr face;
For though hes poor. his poverty
Can never thee disgrace
His coat nav Of the coarsest be,
Made out Of hodd,n gray,
And thine he If il best br"al-cloth,
And trimmed 81 fine and gay.
Thy poshed hcuts may brightly shine,
In t'>hiuu fitting heat,
And his pour cogs be dingy brown,
And ,lapeless to his feet.
Yes, his exterior may b. rude,
And no attractions show;
And his CONNECTIONS be among
The lowest Of the low
But in the casket rough to view,
a gem may be concealed;
AS bright Il gem rs ever yet
Was lu the world revealed.
Full many mind Of priceless worth
Is h.d within he breast
OF many poor, neglected one,
Cast down and sore oppressed;
Amonst the poorest Of the poor,
Earth's noblcst sons abound
The best, the pures;, greatest ST qll
The cottage hearth surround.

The city wis never more quiet. The procIa-

that 1000 pistols and 500 bowie knives were
