**I think lean gee down there/’sol
iloquized Top Ford, the next fore
noon, peering over the rocky wall.—
“At least is worth my while to tty—
it will save a mile of walking: if I suc
ceed.” Swinging himself over, he
crept cautioualy downward. Half the
descent haa been made safely, when
bis foot slipped and he fell, carrying
with him the rock to which he was
clinging.
"When he recovered consciousness
lie found himself lying at the bottom
of the precipice, pinioned to the
earth by a mass, of rock and-earth
which had fallen upon him.
“Unlucky that I have not the nse
of both arifife,” be thought having
finished the contemplation Of his sit
uation. “Well, I must see what I
can accomplish with one. Phew!
how it pains me; I mast have bruised
it badly coming down.*
As be spoke he attempted to lift the
free arm, but it dropped powerless by
his side* “Broken, as sure as fate!’
lie exclaimed, with a grimace of min
gled pain and amusement. “Was ev
er a fellow in a sorrier predicament?’
“It won’t do,” he said after a score
of fruitless efforts to release himself.
“I am here, and here I must stay till
some one comes to my assistance.”—~
And thereupon he shouted at the top
of his lungs for help. The valley give
back the echoes of his voice, but there
wns no other response.
Still again and again he called'
each time more weakly than before,
for his strength was fast leaving him
but no lucky chince sent a person by
within reach of that despairing try.—
The pain of the broken arm was in
tense, anil bis cramped position ad
ded to his misery; his throat was
parched with thirst, while the glare of
the. sun, as it rose higher, well-nigh
blinded him. In such agony as he
never dreamed of he lay as the weary
hours dragged by, and the day jour
neyed toward its end.
Would help ever come? he wonder
ed, straining his ears to catch tlie
slightest sondd.
The place was a lonely and desert
ed one--seldom visited, except by
some wandering artist in search of
the picturesqe, and there was no one
to miss him or grow anxious at his
absence. Helen would take for grant
ed that he had returned to the city,
and so he would be left to perish
slowly of thirst and starvation.
And while he' was thus dying she
would be laughing away the joyous
moments with Mr. Husstings bv' her
side. His fancy pictured them to
gether, and he ground his teeth
impotent fury and despair.
Then, as the day declined, uud dark
ness, stealing through the Valley,
wrapped itself about him, half delu
sive fancies came to make him forget
ful of pain. Helen was beside him—
he could hear her soft tones, f. e’ the
clasp of her hand; she did not love
Mr. Hastings, but himself, and she
had sought him out to tell him so.—
As the vision vanished lie lost con
sciousness for the first time iu his
life.
The work originally published under, the title
of The New American Cydopredia was completed
in 1863, since which time the wide circulation it
b&B attained, in all,parts of the.United States, and
the signal developments which have" taken place in
every branch of science, literature, and art, have
induced the editors arid publishers to submit it to
an exact arid thorough revision,- and to issue a
new edit?on -entitled The American Cyclopje-
du.
"Within the lost ten ycurs the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge lias
made a new work of reforcuee an imperative
want
The movement of political affiiirs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application- to the industrial and.useful arts and
th*» convenience cud-refinement of social life.—
Great wi
curred
moment
which was at ight when the last volume of
the old work aj^Rhed. bah happily been ended,
and a new course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced. 1
Large,: accession* to: our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable explor
ers of Africa.
Thegredt political revolutions of the last de
cide, with the natural result of the lapse ot. time,
have brqnght into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s moutli, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important seiges maintained, of which .the de-
kil* areas yet preserved only in newspapers oi
m the transient -publications of the day; but
which now ought to take their places in permu-
nent and authentic history.
. In preparing the present edition for the press,
Jt has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
mest recent discoveries in science, of every fresh
production in literature, aud of the newest inven
tions in the practical* arts, as well as to *giye a
succinct aud original record of the progress of
finical and historical events. *
The work has been begun after • long and; care-
iw preliminary labor, and with the most ample
for carrying it on to a successful term;-
man..
. None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
uew type, forming" in fact a new Cyclopaedia,
with the same plan and comjaxss as its predecssor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, ai.d
with such improvements in its composition as
have been suggested by longer experience and
€n ^ r Sed knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time iu the present edition have been added
bot for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
Skater lucidity and fofee to the explanations in
the text. Thev embrace ali branches of science
of natural history, aud depict the most fa
tuous and remarkable features of scenery, archi
tecture, aud art. as well as the various processes
of mechanics aud manufactures. Although in
tended for instruction rather than embellishment
pains have been spared to insure their artistic
excellence; the cost of their execution is enor
mous, and it is believed they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable feature ot the Cyclo-
P&dia, and wortnv of its high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable

•The view does not strike Me as a

■Mr. Hastings, balancing himself on
the railing of llic bridge, and survey

(.isapproval.
“It is not even pretty,” Helen re

admit.

“Wait a moment— the train is eom-

the locomotive was heard. Txe train
came:—slacked almost to an absolute
stoppage—Helen’s eyes watched it the
while ,ery eagerly—but no Tom- took
advantage of the delay to spring upon
the platform. Had he changed his
mind and returned to the farm-house?
It was net likely; in his present state
of feelings he would not court a meet

she knew not why—a-vague conscious

if he is not at the house somebody

“It may be too late then,” said
Helen. “Yon must come with me,
Ralph;” taking his hand.
“I will nothing of the kind,” an
swered the irate lover; “and if you
go it will jSrs in direct disobedience to
my express commands.” Mr. Has

wrath.
“When was I ever known to obey
yon—or any one else?” retorted Hel
en, with flashing eyes. “I would go
now if’—trying to say something tntg-
ic, but failing—“if I were certain' I
should lose my way and be compelled
to stay out iu the cold ail night. ” and
shaking off his detaining /grasp, she
was gone iu an instant^

osophically observed Mr. Hastings, as

Tha Cabas Revolution—Spauisu

The Cuban rebellion still draws its
slow length aloDg, abating, however,
nothing in its horrois and barbarities.
La’e advices chronicle an attempt to
kill Captain-General Concha by fir
ing three shots at him at his summer
residence; but as he is always guarded
by volunteers, some of them are sus-
ed of the offense. ’There is also an
other forced loan of 81,500,000 from
the banks, reported to come off with
in ten /ays; from which it would seem
that banking in Cuba must he carried
on under peculiar circumstances.—
The most-outrageous act, however, is
the capture of the insurgent leader,
Garcia, at a, rendezvous agreed, upon
nnder a flag pi truce between him "and
the- Spanish commander of the district
while at this conference a force of a
fiousiind Spanish troops captured Gar
cia and his -guard of thirty-six men.—
whom soldierly honor has ever been a
pride and a boast, such a dastardly
outrage upon a flag of truce can only
be stamped as worthy btcowards and
sneaks. Garcia’s mother; residing in
Savanna, has since obtained permis
sion to telegraph to Presinent Serra
no,' asking hrai to spare her son’s life.
While such a' course is pursued in Cu

listened eagerly. Did some one call
“Helen,” or was it only her imagina

so faint and unearthly.” Her timid

“Is it you, Helen, really yon?” he

to look for me—I have thought of you
continually.”
Yes,” returned Helen, hastily,
thinking that further questions might
prove embarrassing, “and now I am
going back for help. I will not be

two hours, I assure yon- Keep up
good heart till I get back; ”

A Curious Bird’s Nest-
^There is a bird hr New Guinea cal
led the Magapodius, which in the s’ze
of its egg and.the manner of hatching
them, must be considered extraordi
nary. It. is not larger than one of pur
ordinary fowls, hnt its eggs are three
inches in length by two and a half iu
diameter. It does not -attempt'to. sit
ou them. A colony of birds, lay their
eggs together in a large mound,.in the
hottest part of the year, from Septem
ber to March, and leave them there
to be hatched ! by i he sur. The mound
is made of saud, ! loose earth and sticks
and leaves, which by their decay in
crease their heat. • The. mounds/ are
wonderfully # large, being about ken
feet high and about sixty feet in cu<-
cuml’erence at the base. . The.--young
birds come out at a hole in the top.—
The mother birds wait on tlie trees
around till tbeir chicks are hatched,
tages of using miile power will show
large figures.
As to the ox-team, it can hardly bo
said to he a competitor. .Cheapness
is its recommendation. The yoke
and chain are its harness. Its keep
compares favorably with both the
horse and mule; and so its original
cost. It is nandy, always in harness
always ready; and, if a good heavy
pair, is fitted for heavy work, such as
plowing sod (doing the work here of
three ordinary horses.) hauling heavy
loads etc. But its years of labor are
comparatively few. Its carcass how
ever, can be turned off to ait. advant
age. Buti cattle whether oxens, bulls
or cows, will never surplant the mule
or horse. The little advantage they
afford isna exception.
How Dry it Wat-
An honest old farmer from the coun-
try gave his recollections of the hot
spell as follows:
“It was so dry we couldn’t spare
water to put in our whiskey. The
grass was so dry that every time the
wiiid blew it flew around like so much
asaes. There wasn’t a tear shed at a
funeral in over a month. TRe' sun
dried lip all the cattle, and burnt the
hair off till they looked- like/Mexican
dogs, and tlie" sheep' all looked like
poodle puppies, they shrank up so.—
We had to soak all our hogs to make
Some will wonder at that score!
Make the list ofralsehood longer,
Write down virtue as a vice;
Add to every fault of nature,
Till each one shall double thrice,
Make the ones who with yon differ,
Aliens from tlie j roof of right;
Show a truth, however holy,
In some half reflected light,
Slander all who will not fin ter;
Shame those down who will not how.
Raise np those who join yonr circle;
Keep them—but no matter how!
If a few should dare to reason,
Put a certaur mystery on;
Silence, sometimes, makes a victim;
When a word would have won!
Multiply all base ideas,
Arid array them, then, as facts;
Whisper, if you see a listener, .
And prevert some neighbor’s acts!
Should some beings err a trifle,
Kick them till they sorely loll;
Make yourself think yon are perfect,
Don’t believe you err at all,
You arasafeabout the future;
- You are always full of graoe.
But if such ones go to Heaven,
Lord—Let mo have the other place!

To Destroy Ins cts.
The Boston Journal ot Chexnistay
says that hot alum-water is a recent
suggestion as an insecticide. It
will destroy red: rind black ants, cock
roaches, spiders, chintz-bugs, and all
the crawling pests which infest our
houses. Take t.wo pounds .-of -alum
and dissolve it in two or-three quarts
of boib'ng-wuter;- let it-staud. on the
fire until the alum disappears; then
apply it with a brush,, while nearly
boiling hot, to every-jointand- crevice

shelves, and' the like. Brush tlie crev
ices ih’the.floor'of the skirting cr iriop
boards, if you suspect that they har
bor vermin; If, ;in the white-washing
of a ceiling, plenty of alum is added
to tbe lime, it yill also serve to keep
insects at a distance.' Cockroaches
will flee the paint which has been
washed in cool alum-water. Sugar
barrels and boxes, can- -be .freed from
ants by drawing a white chalk mark
just around the top. of them. The
mark must*b'e unbroken, or fliey wilt
creep over it; but a continuous chalk
mark ha? f an inch in' width, will set
their depredations at naught. Pow
dered alum or borax will keep chintz--
bngs at a respectful distance, and
travelers should always carry a pack

where they have reason to r OTspe;t

The New Era in Farming.
The'good old days 6f which we
hear so much, have passed away. It
is questionable whether they are to be
regretted; more than certain they are
not so far as farming is concerned.
The good old days of one-horse, bap-
py-go-lncky agriculture are indeed
over. There was a time when the
motto would seem to be, to do as one’s
father had done, until by repeated ex
periment and multiplied failures one
learned better; to receive on no ac-
connt any information whatever, and
to keep to oneself as much as possi
ble any discover}' made.
The tendency now is quite opposite,
and as liberal and far-sighted in poli
cy as the other wns. narrow minded
and retrogressive. It is the object
with farmers to facilitate inter-com-
mnnication and exchange of useful
knowledge, rather than to shut ont
all-news aud keep home improvements.
No sensible farmer fears that by an
uouncing to his neighbors methods of
getting over certain difficulties or ac
complishing "certain ends, he is thus
encouraging a set of men, put. upon
his own plane, to complete and injure
him. He knows that for every single
hint given out by him, he in’r. torn re
ceives many; anl that as he is benefit-
ted by others it is .only fair to rccip
rocate as fur as he is able. The truth
is that- there is no class ot men so cor
dially willing to impart information,
so mutually" helpful, so neighborly
as the -farmers.
