DISCOVERIES IN sIDON.

A Beyrout correspondent Of The Journal Of
Commerce notices some recent Discoveries in the
ancient City of Sidon. Some three years since, a
Moslem obtained permission to dig for treasures in
the old grave-yards in Sidon and in the winter of
lS53-4, he took out three copper pots, each con-
tanning eight hundred peices of gold, of the value
of about 50 each, and all bearing the name or head
of Phillip or Alexander. This discovery led to
further excavations, and on the 10Th of January
last, a sarcophagus was uncovered, upon the lid Of
which there was a long Ph@nician inscription,
which has been partially translated by the Rev.
Mr.. Thompson. an American Missionary at Sidon,
and which it is expected, will soon be perfectly
translated. Speaking Of the sarcophagus, the cor
respondent remarks:
1.-The lid is of a 6lue-black marble, intensely
hard, and taking a very fine polish. The lid is
about eight feet long by four feet wide. The upper
end is wrought into the figure of a female head
and shoulders of almost q giant size. The features
are Egyptian, with large, full, almond-shaped eyes
the nose fattened, and lips remarkably thick, and
somewhat after the negro mold. The whole counte
nance is smiling, agreeable, and expressive beyond
anything | have ever seen in the disinterred monu
ments of Egypt or Nineveh. The head-dress re
sembles that which appears in Egyptian figures
while, on each shoulder, there is the head of some
bird-a dove or pigeon-and the bosom is covered
by what appears to be 4 sort Of cape, with q deer
fringe, as of lace. On the lid, below the figure
head, is the inscription, consisting of twenty-five
long INES, closely written. The letters are IN per
feet preservation, and can be read with the utmost
ease and accuracy, and the whole forms by far the
longest, and most perfect inscription yet discover
ed in this most ancient language and character
Ii appears TO be mainly a genealogical history o
the person buried in the sarcophagus, who as it ap
pears was 3 King Of Sidon. The names of Baa
and Asht0retb, the well-known gods of the Sidon
ians, occur repeatedly in these inscriptions. Some
Of the words are Hebrew, as metck, king, while thu
forms Of some of the letters are so much like those
of the ancient Greek as at once to Indicate the re
lationship. Letters were iacented by the PhGni
clans. Here we seem to see them dropping from
their hands in the first casting

GARDEN FRUITS.

Moore's Ruval Nc3o Yorker of the 9th of March
in an article ON fruits for the garden, says:
ain the garden should be planted strawberries,
currants, black, white and red raspberries, aspar-
agus and ~pie-plant. 1t does not take IL large plot
of ground to supply n family with all the aspara-
gus or pie-plan they can possibly use. A plot OF
ground twelve feet by eighteen, would make as
large an asparagus or ~pie-plaut bed as would be
profitable and one twenty feet square, well cult
waited, would furnish all the strawberries. But q
garden should never be ploughed. 1t should have
plenty of well-rottcd manure, and always be cult
waited with a spade, and kept clean: n quarter or
an eighth af an acre would make II garden plenty
large for any commOn-sized family, and furnish 1t
with an abundance of comforts and luxuries, and
be really more profitable than any two or three
acres in wheat or corn, for garden vegetables save
u great deal Of meat and flour in making up the
living of the family.
"Rhubard, or ~pie-plant as it is commonly called.
is so easy OF cultivation, and such a capital insti-
tuition in the way OF pies and sauce, that it should
be found in every garden. For a family, make a
bed twelve by twenty feet, dig it we'll, and put in
or dig in plenty Of well-rotted manure, Get plants
of the Common Early, the Giant, and the Victoria
say one row of ten plants of Giant, one row of the
Victoria, and about three rows of the Common -
Set the plants two feet and a half each way, keep
the ground clean, keep down the seed stalk, and
do not gather much the first year. In the fall put
a shovelfull of good manure over the crown of the
root, and spade it in as early in the spring as pos
sible, or as soon as the leaves show themselves.
The great secret in raising the p~ie-plant in per-
lection is to keep the ground clean and rich, and
not allow the seed-stalks to grow. In gathering
for use, select the leaf that has fully opened, and
slip it off from the stem by running your finger
down between the leafstalk and the stem never
cut the leaf: always pull it off as described. II
properly attended, a dozen plants of each kind will
furnish all that any family can well consume. The
Giant is late, and both that and the Victoria should
be planted at least three and a half feet each way
W have found the flavor of p~ie-plant much i'm
proved by using maple sugar in preference to cane
sugar."

OF ANTIQUITIES IN THE
COPPER COUNTRY.

We have now in our possession, for safe keeping,
and .s a nucleus of o collection of curiosities, some
very curious and singular articles made Of conper.
They were found near the west shore of the river,
about a mile above the mouth, at a place where
now is a brick yard, and these were disinterred by
those digging in search of good brick clay. After
taking off from the surface of the ground about two
feet Of sand, the clay was exposed, and the stamp
OF a tree was discovered. Digging still lower,
about six or eight inches into the clay, and over
turning the stumy, these articles were brought to
light.
First, a copper spear, about IA inches in length,
and at its base a groove or dovetail is made in
which 20 insert a wooden shaft or handle.
Two other spears, each about IL inches in length,
and similar 70 the first
Third, two pieces Of copper that had evidently
been very nicely forged, bat for what purposes they
could ever have been applied is by no means plain
and ii is quite dificult to give in writing a clear
description Of it.
These ale about II inches long and two inches
wide. Upon one end there is the appearance of an
attempt to make a cutting edge. they weigh about
three pounds each, and are specimens Of good work
manshin.
That these tools are tho work G. Of those who lived
here years ago, seems the more likely from the place

THE REWARD.
BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.

Who, looking backward from his manhood's prime
Sees not the spectre of his m~isspent time
And, through the shade
of funeral cypress, planted thick behind,
Hears no reproachrul whisper on the wind
From his loved dead!
Who bears no trace Of PASSIONS evil force?
Who shuns thy sting, o terrible remorso?
Who would not cast
Half Of this future from him, but to win
Wakeless oblivion from the wrong and sin
or the sealed Past?
Alas, the evil which we lain would shun,
We do, and leave the wished-for good undone
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrow's weakness, prone to fall,
Poor, blind, Improbable servants ali,
Are we Away.
Yet who, thus looking backward Ger his years,
Feels not his eye-lids wet with grateful tears,
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was,
To cheer and aid, in some enrolling cause,
His fellow men?
II he hath hidden the outcast, or let in
a ray of sunshine to the cell of sin;
If he hath lent
Strength to the weak, and, in the hour of need,
Over the suffering, mindless Of his creed
Or hue, hath bent.
lie hath not lived in vain, and while he gives
The praise to Him in whom he moves and lives,
With thankful heart,
He gazes backward, and with hope before,
Knowing that from his works he never more
Can henceforth pa rt.

COME TO H WEST.

l sit in our quiet cottage,
by our Preside CHEEKY and warm,
With husband and children around me,
And list to the driving storm.
/ see my dear ones sheltered,
But | think while our fire burns bright,
OF the thousands in crowded cities,
Who SILVER with cold tonight
l look abroad on the prairies-
Stretching from sky to sky
And think of the untold treasures
That deep in their bosoms lie,
But waiting the hand of labor
To draw forth the generous store, mines,
More precious than gems from the Eastern
Or the lar-sought golden ore.
o, come from your noisome alleys,
From your cellars damp and low;
Where the golden sunshine so freely falls,
And the healthful breezes blow
Come, for there's bread and work for all,
On this free and bounteous shore:
Oh come, and hunger and want and woe
Shall be your guests no more.
Oh come with tho little children,
Lest their hearts grow hard and cold,
In the school of misery and vice,
Ere a score of years are told;
They shall sport with birds and breezes,
On the green and fowery sod,
Till their souls become expanded
With the love of man and God.
Then come from your cherries hoarthstonos,
From your novels dark and low,
To this land of peace and plenty,
Where milk and honey flow !"
These fruitful wales invite you,
In smiling beauty drest,
Then come from the crowded alleys,
Come to the golden West!

DEATH OF A REMARKABLE FIRE DOG

Died, in Charlestown, Mass, recently, "JACK
HAM" u large and valuable dog, belonging to
Engine Company No. ,, Of that city. The history
OF this dog II very interesting, and worthy of note.
lie was one OF four dogs owned by a gentleman
some years since, who was accustomed to harness
them to IL little wagon, constructed for the purpose,
IN which they drew him about the country, a Ii
horse. By some means, about four years ago, he
was induced to dispose of this dog to Mr.. Ham,
living near the No. 2 Engine House. In the family
of Mr. Ham he made himself useful in a variety Of
ways, rocking the cradle, taking the baby out in a
little wagon for an airing on pleasant days, &c.
The fremen of No. 2 became very fond of him.,
and won his confidence by feeding him in the en-
CINE house and at their tables, till at length he
=" joined the company" assisting, by his well-know
bark, in spreading the alarm in cases of fire.
The engine-house was his home, and he was al
ways the first to seize the rope and assist in drag
ging the machine to the fire. lie attended all the
celebrations of the company. dressed in a uniform
which the company had made for him, eating crack
es and cheese and drinking coffee with as much
apparent relish as the best of them. At one time
he was by accident locked up in Il building near
the engine house. and an alarm of fire being given
in the night, Jack sprang through the window with
his well known bark, and took his place at the
ropes with the rest of them.
lie was a general favorite with the whole neigh.
borhood, and always recognised his friends in the
street, saluting them with a good. natured bark and
a wag of the tail. The company have his daguer
reotype, besides having him painted on canvas, anC
will have his skin stuffed and placed in their en-,
gine-house. Ills disease was old age, though it i.
not known exactly how old he was.

The tree had grown up since these articles had
been out there, and the deposite of sand made above
the clay the depth of two feet. To do that, the
river and lake must have been forty feet higher than
its present level. This, of course, was years ago,

of liberal feelings, called upon one of the highest
M~ohammedan ecclesiastical authorities of the
capital, to tell him what the Christian sects and
communities were doing, and the whether the same
ought not to be done in all the mosques. The
worthy Musalman replied, mo, my son, we can
not pray for the success of the arms Of the Sui
tan's inidel Allies, for the blessed Koran clearly
forbids any such condescension." "What, then
