KICK HIM WHEN HE'S DOWN.

When the sun of prosperity's shining,
And mans growing rich every day
When in ease and comfort reclining,
And golden success crowns his way
How friends will then flock about him;
But if fortune should happen to frown, :,
How quickly he II get the "cold shoulder" -
And be "kicked because he Is down."
How kindly the world will smile on him
When life with successes abound;
How cordially, blandly twill greet him
As in pleasure he's riding around!
But then let reverses o'crtake him,
And his friends both in country and town
Have not kind sentence to cheer him,
But will "kick him as soon a. he's down
Let man get position or wealth.
Matters not if by intrigue or fraud,
The world mods approyngy at him,
And his acts will loudly applaud;
What though he may be great villain,
With the simple, the wise, and the clown,
While he's up he's "tip top fellow" :,
But they'll "kick him if he ever gets down."
When man has plenty of "Greenbacks,"
And he's healthy, and festive, and gay,
He's counted bully good chum" then,
And the crowd approves all he may say; "i
But lust let him lose his treasures, .-.. '...
Purchance, too, his health may be gone,
He'll get to be nobody quickly,
And sure to be " kicked when he's down."
What's the use OF being moral or honest,
Or strive to be upright and true;
For, unless man has "lots ofmoney,'
The worlds bound to ''put him right through"
THEY'LL ago for him" certain and surely,
From the jocky to priests in his gown
And all stand ready 10 "snub" him, .s.
And "kick him because he is down." ..

don Times publishes aDd interesting letter in
regard to the discoveries at Jerusalem, from
which we select the following:
The colossal foundations, of the temple
walls, which are stones of ten cubits and
stones of eight cubits, laid by Solomon or
his successors on the throne, are now being
laid bare at the enormous depth or ninety
feet or more below the present surface The
bridge that once spanned the ravne between
tile palace of Zion and the temple ON Moriah
is now proved to have been upwards of one
hundred and fifty feet high. If this be, as
it seems, the ascent to the House of the Lord
which Solomon showed to the Queen of She
ba, we cannot wonder that on seeing it there
was no spirit in her. The pinnacle of the
temple on which the tempter placed the Sa-
viour has just been uncovered to the base.
and is found still to have an elevation of
one hundred and thirty-six feet. The state
ment of Josephus is, therefore, no exaggera-
ton. If any one looked from tine battle
ment into the valley he would be giddy,
while his sight could not reach to such an
immense depth. Sections of the ancient
wall of Ophe have been exhumed showing
that as Josephus says it was joined to the
southeast angle of the temple Aqueducts,
cisterns, rock-hewn channels and cages have
also been discovered within and around the
harem, throwing light on the buildings, the
arrangements and the services in the Temple
The great work of a complete exploration
of ancient Jerusalem is thus fairly and aus.
piciously commenced. The opportune visit
of the Sultan and Grand Vizier to this coun-
try, and the representations made to the lat
ter by the Archbishop of York, followed up
as they have been by the energy, the wis
dom, and the tact of Lieut. Warren and his
admirable staff, have smoothed down Mos
lem prejudice, removed local opposition, and
thus brought about opportunities for exca-
walton and exploration such as never occur
red before and besides, large numbers of
Arab laborers have been trained to the work,
and are eager to be employed and the ex-
act points of successful exploration are now
well known"

"America," was the reply.
"Ah!" said the foreman, "from America a
lad from America seeking employment as prn

printing? Can you set type?'
Franklin stepped to one of the cases, and in a

THE REAUTIFUL LAND,

There's beautiful Land by the spoicr untrod,
Unpolluted with sorrow and care;
1t is lighted alone by the presence of God,
Whose throne and whose temple are there;
Its CRYSTAL line streams with murmuring How,
Meander through valleys so green,
And its mountains of jasper are bright in the
glow
OF a splendor no mortal hath seen.
And throngs of glad singers with jubilant
breath,
Make the air with their melodies rife;
And one known on earth as the Angel OF Death,
Shines here as the Angel of Life!
An infinite tenderness beams from his eyes;
On his brow is an infinite calm,
And his voice us it thrills thro' the depth oil the
Is as sweet as the Seraphim's psalm.
Through the amaranth groves of the beautiful
Walk the souls who were lathfal in this;
And their foreheads, star-erowned, by the
zephyrs are famed
That eyermore murmur of bliss;
They taste the rich iruitage that hangs from the
trees,
And breathe the sweet odor of flowers
More fragrant than ever were kissed by the
g.. breeze
In Araby's lovlest bowers.
Old Prophets, whose words were a spirit of
flame
Blazing out DER the darkness of time;
And martyrs, whose courage no torture could
tame,
Nor turn from their purpose sublime;
And Saints and conlessors, numberess throng,
Who were loyal to truth and to right,
And left as they walked thro' the darkness OF
wrong,
Their footprints encirced with light;
And the dear little children, who went to their
rest
Ere their lives had been sullied by sin,
While the Angel of Morning still tarried aguest,
Their spirits pure temple within
All are there-all are therein the beautiful land;
The land by the spoiler untrod,
And their foreheads, star-crowned, by the breez-
es are famed
That blow from the Garden of God!
My soul hath looked in through the gateway of
dreams
On the city all paven with gold,
And heard the sweet flow of its murmurOus
streams.
As through the green valleys they rolled;
Aud though it still waits this desOlatc strand,
A pilgrim and stranger on earth,
Yet it knew in that glimpse of the Beautiful
Land, ..s
That it gazed on the home of his birth!

Setting young msn afoat with money left him
by relatives, is like tying bladders under one
who cannot swim; ten chances to one he will
lose his bladders and 60 to the bottom. Teach
him to swim and he will not need bladders.-
Give your child sound education, and you have
done enough for him. See to it that his morals
are pure, his mind cultivated, and his whole
nature made subservient to the laws which govern
men, and you have given him what will be more
valuable than the wealth of the Indies. To be
thrown upon ones own resources is to be cast
in the very lap of fortune, for our faculties then
undergo the development, and display an energy
of which they were previously unacceptable.

A CRAB FAcToRY.-A gentleman at Annapolis,
Nd, fenced in cove near the mouth OF the Sc
vern river and commenced the cultivation of
crabs on large scale. He has put in about 4, 900
and feeds them on coarse fish and any kind OF
refuse meat squad of them will attack cat
fish and devour it in one night, pick the bones
as clean as pack of wolves pick deer. The
soft crab is only the hard crab with his coat or
shell of. Before shedding his shell he is worth
only o half cent in the market; without it he is
worth dime. He sheds his hard shell but once
u year and then remains soft crab but few
hours, when new shell is again formed. But
few soft crabs are seen, owing to the difficulty of
finding and capturing them in the ''nick of time"
This difficulty it is proposed to obvate by the
herding process, where the stock can be examin-
ed every day, and as fast as crab is found with
his coat off, he is caught as soft crab and mark
eted accordingly. The location of the crab pas
ture is at point where the tide regularly Gibbs
and flows, giving the crabs plentiful supply of
their natural element

FIGs.-If there 3 one fruit above another in
this section of the south, that should attract the
attention of the SCIENTIFIC, in order to develop
plan by which the fruit can be carried to the
great markets Of tie country, and thereby render
ed source of immense profit to our farmers,
that fruit is the fig which grows so luXuriant and
spontaneous all around us. There can certainly
be no more delicious ftuit that grows than the
fig and if it entirely susceptible of trlnspor
tation North, the demand there for it would be
immense.
We find in the Southern Planter and Farmer
fur Juuo, process for concerning figs, which 1t
might be well for some OF our people, who have
large quantities growing on their farms to give a
trial.
The process is, to take the fig when fully ripe,
skin them, and stew them in porcelain lined ket-
ties, to 'marmalGde'' without sugar-none
needed-anu when in the state of half-dried
paste, dried in wooden trays, roll them into what
is called "tig leather" like apple, pear, peach or
quince-leather, rolled in brown flour and spices.
This leather, baked, may be kept as long as the
Smyrna fig, and is more luscious"
Any process by which our crop of figs can be
secured for market is of the utmost importance
to this section; and if our people can be induced
to go into the manufacture of this fig paste or
fig leather, we have no doubt of their finding
market for their products. The receipt above
may be the secret that we need. 1t can be manu-
featured by the females of family at very little
trouble and expense, and will doubtless be a
source of revenue to many of our families who
have abundance of leisure on their hands, Give
