ALL TIE II ROUND.

by special arrangements with Mr.. Dickens, this publ.
> cation is issued in New York simultaneously with
its issue in London The first number appeared on
both sides Of the Atlantic on tho first of May, 1859,
and contained tho opening chapters of the new novel,
entitled, A Tale Of Two Cities, written especially for it
by Charles Dickens, which il is to be continued, fron
week to week, for about eight months.
1t will be seen that American readers of All the
Year Round will obtain the stories and other contribu-
tions Of MIR. Dickens, and the staff Of writer's associated
with him, embracing an array of distinguished talent
with which no other publication can compare, several
weeks in advance of their reaching this country through
ordinary sources, and at the same time they are given
to the public in London.
Mr.. DICKENS ADDRESS:
"Nine years Of Household Words ore the best assu-
rance that can be offered to the public of the spirit and
objects of All the Year Round.
"In transferring myself and my strongest energies
from the publication that is about to be discontinued
to the publication that is about to be begun, l have the
happiness Of taking with me that staff of writer's with
whom l have labored, and oil the literary and bust
ness corporations that Gun make my work a pleasure.
In some important respects, ! am now free greatly to
advance on past arrangements. Those l leave to testi-
fy for themselves in due course.
"Th0t fusion of the graces of the imagination with
the realities of life which is vital to the welfare Of any
community, and for which l have str ven, from week
to week, as honestly rs l could, during the last nine
years, will continue to be striven for "all the year
things of the past merely to be assumed, with an in
creased love for them and brighter hopes ~springing out
Of them in the present and the future.
Il look and plan for a very much wider circle of
readers, and yet Again for a steadily-expanding circle
Of readers, in the projects l hope to carry through "all
the year round" and l feel confident that this expec-
tation will be realized, if it deserves realization.
"The task of my new journal is set, and it will stead.
lily try to work the task out. Its pages shall show to
good purpose their motto is remembered in them, and
with how much fidelity and earnestness they tell the
story Of our Hves from gear 10 gear.

Natures Own Chemistry.

Mr.. Henry K. Strong, in a communication to
the Philadelphia North American, states that
owing to the immense volumes of sulphuric &C
id water discharged from the bottoms of sixty
six ~colleries on the head waters of the Schuyl-
kill, the mountain streams that make up the riv-
er are strongly impregnated with sulphuric &C
i'd, which kills all the fish in the Schuylkill and
its tributaries, for more than thirty miles below
the mines. The water is clear, but has q pecu-
liar greenish-blue tint, from the coal region
through the entire broad belt of the Devonian
formation. But, as soon as it enters the great
Sullurian limestone, above Reading, and re-
ceives the waters of Maiden Greek and other
limestone tributaries, there is a sudden changed
appearance Of the waters. Both streams are
clear and transparent above the junction, but
below, the united stream presents a milky and
clouded appearance. Here nature performs one
of the largest, grandest, and most useful chemi.
crl experiments in the world! Here two streams
of impure water-one impure by the amount Of
lime held IN solution, and the other impure on
account Of the quantity of s~ulphuric ascid re-
ceived from the mines-are made one, and puri-
fed by the chemical attraction of the impurities
of both. Here the lime held in solution by the
waters Of Maiden Greek, unites with the acid
which i~mpregnates the Schuylkill, and forms
gypsum; hrst cOlorng the waters IN Dlulsh-
white, and then rendering it clean and pure be-
fore it reaches Reading, by the sinking of the
gypsum to the bottom Of the stream.
"The Importance, in an economic point Of
view, Of this great chemical action, which nature
is constantly performing, cannot be too highly
estimated. Without the ascid from the coal
mines, to neutralize the lime, the city Of Read
ing would be without a pure soft water for do
nestle purposes, for her factories, and for the
engines which drive her furnaces. And without
the limestone tributaries of the Schuylkill, to
neutralize the acid from the coal mines, Phila.
delphia would now be without a pure water fol-
household purposes, and without a water fit to
be used in the twelve hundred steam engines
that now make her the greatest manufacturing
city in the Union"

The Wine Crop.

Mr.. R. Buchanan, Of Cincinnati, in a letter
to the st. Louis Horticultural Society, says the
vintage of 1859, near Cincinnati, will be the
largest since 1853. The average yield will be
about 400 gallons to the acre, although some
vineyards will produce 600 to 800 gallons to the
acre. Within twelve miles around Cincinnati
it is estimated the crop will amount to 100000
gallons; so that the wine crop of Ohio the pres
ent year may be safely estimated at over ST.
OOO,0 900 in value.

THE HEROES OF INDUSTRY.

Let others write of those who fought,
On many q bloody field
Of those whose daring deeds were wrought
With sword, and spear, and shield; ,
But I will write of heroes bold,
The bravest of the brave,
Who fought for neither fame nor gold
Who fill an unmarked grave!
Heroes who conquered many a field
Of hard and sterile SOLE
Who made the sturdy forest yield
To unremitting toll;
Heroes who did not idly stand,
But dealt such fearful blows
That acres, broad, of worthless land
Now blossom like the rose.
The heroes Of the pillow and loom,
The anvil and the forge;
The delivers down amid the gloom
OF yonder rocky gorge.
Heroes who built yon lofty tower,
And forged its heavy bell,
Which faithfully proclaims the hour,
And marks its flight so we'll.
Heroes who brought from every cline
Rich argosies Of wealth;
Heroes Of thoughts and deeds sublime,
Who spurned what came by stealth;
Who won a guerdon fair and bright,
And left no bloody stain
No hearth profaned-no deadly blight
Upon Gods wide domain.
These world wide common workers crave
No laured wreath of fame
No monument above their grave,
They toiled but for A NAME,
Among the lowly ones who plod
Their weary Nay along,
With faith and confidence that God
Correcteth every wrong.
