Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new tyde, and illustrat ed with Several Thousand Engravings and Maos. No Hero After All. (concluded from last week.) **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.

Y: •The view does not strike Me as a particularly flue one, my dear,” said ■Mr. Hastings, balancing himself on the railing of llic bridge, and survey ing the scenery with a glance of calm (.isapproval. “It is not even pretty,” Helen re plied; “but—I wanted to come.” She was looking very inteptiy at the rail road track—a pleasant object for con templation, as any lover of beauty will admit. •‘Suppose then, that we go home.” mildly suggested Mr. Hasting, offer; nghis arm. “Wait a moment— the train is eom- ng,” answered she, as the shriek of 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 ing with Mr. Hastings. . Helen felt— she knew not why—a-vague conscious ness of anxiety. Ralph,” turning suddenly toward her lover,-“I want to go-up into the Talley—it will not be dark for more than two hours yet; will you go?” “Wait till to-morrow,” he answered, mindful of his tight boots, and in no mood for climbing. ■ “Ton are -pale, ■ Helen—and actually shivering, too.— This air is fever and agueish,” wrap ping her shawl-more.closely about her as lie spoke. ‘.‘Come, let us get home as soon as possible. mentary to me your fretting about this fellow the. first evening of our meeting. We will go back now. and if he is not at the house somebody shall be sent in search of him, I prom ise yon.” “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 tings looked really, imposing in his 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^ “I suppose that every woman must be either a simpleton or a vixen,” phil osophically observed Mr. Hastings, as lie wendedi'bis solitary way home ward; “but such an exhibition of wil- fnlness and temper on Helen’s part, ■was really very unpleasant. ” The walk was a long one, an d night was fast falling when Helen reached the entrance of the valley. She and Tom laid explored it together, fro- Tha Cabas Revolution—Spauisu Warfare. 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 by. toward .the insurgents it can scarce- qnently; but now, in the shadowy ly be a matter of surprise that the lat- twilight, it looked so wild and forbid- I ter were bloody and terrible iu their Power on the Farm.

The interest I of 8300 is 821 per Jear. The keeping I of the team: grain 870; hay 8120; to tal 8226 per year. Deducting 826 for the manure, there will be left 8200 expense for a horse team.

Would it not be worse than fol ly te risk her life among the rocks and caverns, because of a 'mere nervous fancy. As she stood irresolute—feel ing her courage fast ebbing, a faint cry seemed to fall upon her ear. She listened eagerly. Did some one call “Helen,” or was it only her imagina tiou? “It was like Tom’s voice ” she said.to herself with a shiver,, “only so faint and unearthly.” Her timid ity had all vanished now, and she ’went resolutely on, falling over pros trate trees, climbing up the rugged Sides of the projecting rocks, urging her way through masses of tangled vines and underbrush, heedless of her cut and bleeding bauds and feet, her fast failing strength, and intent only on reaching the spot whence that cry had come. Shall I ever'fiudhim?”she thought de -piiiiiugly, as her foot caught tree root, and she fell once more,— Putting ont her hand to aid herself iu rising, she touched something that was neither stone nor wood. She grasped it eagerly—it was an arm in a rough coat sleeve—a masculine arm evidently, and the discovery sent a t lirill of horror to her heart. An instant.more, aud- the injured iuu moved a little and murmured Helen,” in a feeble and almost inau dible tone. Helen did not shriek, nor faint-, nor call him “darling,” as a heroine would have done. She only siiid quietly, “I am here, Tom; tell me, arc you hurt badly?” “Is it you, Helen, really yon?” he answered, excitement lending him strength. “My arm is broken, and there is a mass of rock aud earth up-: ou me. I have been lying here ever since morning, and had given up all hope of being rescued! Dii you come 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 lbng; you shall be safe at hams within two hours, I assure yon- Keep up good heart till I get back; ” How did ’she know that I failed to take the train?” querried Tom, , men tally, as the- sound of her; -footsteps mode of warfare. 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.

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.

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 iu yonr closets, bed-steads, pantry 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 age of it in their iand-bags to* scatter over rind under their pillows in places where they have reason to r OTspe;t the presence of such bedfellows. - ' ' ': -' - .

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. pie’s claims involved, it is a qnestion j rrirfe at F3rt Valley. eaves Fort Valley... prndent to yield somewhat of onrowu * 05 ^ 1C ° n ’ precious rights than sqnubble to maintain them.
