Nothing is lost. The drop of dew
That trembles on the leaf or'flower,
Is but exhaled to fall anew
In summer’s thunder shower;
Perchance to shine within the bow
That fronts the sun at fall of day ;
Perchance to sparkle in the flow
Of fountains far away.
So with our deeds, for pood or ill,
They have their power scarce understood
Then let us use our better will
To make ti em rife with good ;
Like circles on a lake they go.
Ring within ring, and never stay,
Oh ! that our deeds were fashioned so
That they might bless alsvay.

Among a savage clan
Of canibalish people,
A missionary man
Set up his modest steeple.
And there each day he would
Pursue his honest labors ;
He told them to be good
And bade them love their neighbors.
The cannibals with grins,
Gave ear to themes he treated.
They crossed their tawney skins,
And on their limns were seated.
And yet they were not lost,
That missionary’s labors,
lie taught them to his cost
The way to love their ne r ghbors.
For one day, when for prayers
Those cannibals they met him.
They caught him unawares—
Tuey killed him and they ;.ta him !
They said they found him good—
He’d practiced what he’d taught them—
And now they understood
The goodness he had brought them.
And when they filled each maw,
They said, while they deplored him,
“ They’d loved him—live and raw—
But, roasted, they adored him !’’

The Wedding Ring and its Sub
stitutes.—In Swinburn’s “ Treatise of
Spousals,” we read:
“ The first inventor of the wedding
ring, as is reported, was one Promethe
us. The workman who made it was
Tubal-Cain, who, by the counsel of our
first parent Adam, gave it unto his son
to this end, “ that hercicilh he should
espouse a w’ife, like as Abraham deliv
ered unto his servants bracelets and
ear-rings of gold*” Tiie form of the
ring being circular and without end,
whiqh importeth this much, that their
mutual love and hearty affection should
roundly !lu\v from the one to the other
as in a circle, arid that continually and
forever."
Marriages are recorded to have been
celebrated without, the ring, and a key
substituted for it; and sometimes a ring
of leather cut traversely from a finger
of the bridegroom’s glove; these,
though, were generally for hurried and
clandestine marriages, when there had
been no time nor thought for the
ring.
Respecting the substitution of the
chare; key for the wedding-ring, I
know some one who was assured by an
aged inhabitant of a rural parish not
a hundred miles from Colchester, that
as late as twenty-five years ago, a mar
riage was celebrated in the parish
church with the key instead of the
ring. The clerk of the said parish tes
tified to the above, and gave an in
stance of a party that came to the
church and requested to be married with
the church key. It was what is called
a parish wedding ;” and the parochi
al authorities, though willing to pay
the church fees, because “ they were
glad to get rid of the girl,” had not
felt disposed to furnish, the wedding-
ring. The clerk stated, however, that
feeling some hesitation as to the sub
stitution of the church key in his own
church, he stepped into the house close
I by, and they borrowed an old curtain
ring, with which the marriage was sol-
i emnized. Tiie beautiful Miss Gunning
I was married to the Duke of Hamilton
with a curtain ring.—St. James Maga
zine.

Dead Letter Office—Careless
ness of Writers.—The report of the
dead letter office of the Post Office
Department, an abstract of which was
| ublished in the Patriot, yesterday,
shows that there were returned to that
office as undelivered in a simple month
322,ii79 letters, which would make, at
the same rate, 3,S67,343 in a year.—
The reason for this large number of
letters returned is a constant study
with the department, and investigation
shows in many cases the greatest neg
ligence ami carelessness on the part of
letter-writers. It is no uncommon oc
currence to find letters, containing
valuable papers, drafts, checks and
money, dropped into post-offices with
out superscription, or perhaps with
the name of the party to whom ad
dressed, without anything to indicate
the postoflice, county orJState to which
it is to go.
One source of great annoyance is
the custom which prevails, especially
in Virginia and North Carolina and
throughout the »South, of giving to
residences in the country a fancy name,
and dating letters “Cottage Hill,”
“ Sunnyside Farm,” “Buttonwood
Castle,” ifcc. Parties receiving letters
hearing such addresses take no heed of
the post-mark upon the envelope, but
naturally direct their replies to the
place indicated at the head of the let
ter, and the result is the letter is for
warded from one part of a State to an
other, until, as a general thing, it finds
its way hack to the dead letter office,
and perhaps finally reaches the writer.
There are but about 30,000 post offices
in the United States, and the depart
ment has a list of over 80,000 names
of localities, most of them merely fan
cy names, to which letters are ad
dressed, and each day adds to the list.
If people, in writing letters would date
them according to the name of the
Correspondence of tbe New York Evening1‘ost.
EXCAVATIONS AT JEK18AI.E.H.
DISCOVERIES MADE A.\l) QUESTIONS SET
TLED—TIIE TWO TEMPLES—ROBIN
SON’S ARCH.
Letters recently received at the
State Department, giving an account
of discoveries made in Jerusalem by
the English party working under the
direction of those who control the
“Palestine Exploration Fund,” are of
much interest. Excavation? have
now been iu progress for nearly three
years. In spite of obstacles thrown in
the way by the ignorance, stupidity
aud cunning of the Orientals ; in spite
of perils of failing stones and poison
ous air, freezing waters and euffoca
ting heat ; in spite of the superstitions
of Turkish dignitaries, the results thus
far reached are most satisfactory. In
fact, topographical controversies cen
turies old have been settled by posi
tive discoveries. As an example of
the Moslem stupidity which the ex
plorers had to encounter, take the ob
jections of the Pacha o! Jerusalem, a
well-educated military man, not want
ing in brains. He assured Captain
Warren that it was unnecessary to dig
about the Holy City to settle archaeo
logical doubts. Mohammedan tradi
tions were all-sufficient he said. Sale-
hra, the sacred rock, lay on the top
leaves of a palm tree, from the roots
of which sprang al! rivers. To pry in
to such matters, he thought, was a
sure precursor of dire calamity. The
excavations proceeded nevertheless, j
Jerusalem is built on a ridge of rock |
which is the backbone of Palestine.—
It is approached only by rough moun
tain roads. The niosition has great
natural strength. It is at the present
time surrounded by a massive, well-
built wall. Five of the city gates are
office through which they receive their! upeu ; five are closed. All are an
mail, they would save themselves much
annoyance, aud their correspondents
from the apparent charge of neglect,
besides in some degree lessening the
labors of the clerks in the dead letter
ollice.— Washington Patriot.

Colorado Fossils.—Abundant evi
dence in the shape of remains is to be
found in that portion of Colorado, ly
ing east of, and contiguous to the base
of the mouutains, extending the entire
length running north and south of the
Sierra Madre, that this region had
had a tropical climate. Fossil lions,
tigers, leopards and other tropical ani
mals have been found in Nebraska, sev
eral degrees north of us. We have sec
tions of an elephant’s tusk, picked up
on the range between Fairplay and
Breckinridge.
Of vegetable remains, the tropical
fern, the palm leaf, the lemon and the
cocoanut, are found in abundance. In
the clay formation overlaying our coal
measures the perfect impression of im
mense palm leaves are found on all
hands. In sinking a shaft near Erie,
the Rev. Van Valkenburg found the
impression of palm leaves four feet
long at almost every foot he descended.
Elsewhere we have mentioned a pet
rified lemon now in his possession. In
a lime ledge near Boulder, are petrified
cocoanuts in large numbers. Besides
our large coal measures, fifty-two feet
in thickness, all evidently of vegetable
origin, point unmistakably to the fact
that these things were not produced
by the same influences now found in
tropical regions. Now the question
arises, aud to which attention is direc
ted, when and how they were pro
duced ? Did we once have the equator
where we now are'? And if so, then
what produced the change, and placed
the polls where they now are? Was
the change sudden or gradual ? Could
the upheaval of a mountain range,
running from pole to pole, have so dis
turbed the balance as to cause the earth
to swing around ? These are serious
questions that science may throw light
upon some time in the future.—Color

credulity—that it was “ all settled,
sir,” and nothing remained hut for the
honorable Senators and Representatives
to meet and ratify it. We are not yet
exactly prepared to tell all we learned
from the little chirper, but we may do
so between this date and the first day
of November.
If we knew anything of public sen
timent, however, we may set down
some of these little games as already
coppered. They won’t begin to work,
and there is an everlasting smash
awaiting some of the slates. The peo
ple are going to make such combina
tions as will inure to their interests,
and not the paltry, sordid greeds of
trumpery politicians and blatherskite
demagogues. If a resolute and thor
oughly in earnest public sentiment can
keep theLegislature rigidly in the right
track, that body will do the people’s
work as well as may be, not the work I
of a few men whose ambition and office-
hunger are in inverse ratio, both to
their deserts and capacity.
Gentlemen “ log-rollers !”—be sure

A short time ago tiie inhabitants of
Green Bay, Wis., were startled at the
sudden arrival in their town of twenty-
five families of Icelanders, who pro
posed to settle in that vicinity. They
took up their abodes on Washington
Island, at the mouth of Green Bay,
ami were soon busily engaged in erect
ing dwellings and preparing the ground
for farming purposes, going to work
with a will. These twenty-five families
however are but the pioneers of a
much larger immigration iuto the same
region of the inhabitants of Iceland
It is said that several thousand families
are preparing to leave their homes in
that frigid isle, and will come to this
country where they may spread them
selves along the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad, and through the sec
tions bordering upon the Red River.—
They are industrious and frugal people
—as all other immigrants of the Scan
dinavian race—and must prove of great
value to the region which they have
selected for a new home.— Washington

THE TEMPLES OF SOLOMON AND HEROD.
Upon Mount Aloriah there is a large
open space, studded with cypress and
olive trees, and surrounded with, per
haps, tiie finest masonry in the world.
In the centre of this area rises Sakhra,
the. mosque, with its surpassingly
beautiful dome. This mosque Chris
tians call the “Holy Sanctuary.”—
Within the same area once stood both
the temple of Solomon and that erect
ed by Herod. All traces of both dis
appeared ages ago, aud the exact po-‘
si Lions occupied by them have for
years been firecely contested points in
regard to the topography of Jerusa
lem. Was Solomon’s temple co-ex-
tensive with the Sanctuary ? Was it
confined to a square of six hundred
( feet in the southwest corner ? Or
I was it placed elsewhere in what is
j now the great open space ? These
| questions excavations only can answer,
j It is certain that the Stoa Basilica,
built by Herod, stood on the south
ern wall. More than this we do not
yet know.
Within the Sanctuary enclosure
and under its solid floors it has hither
to been supposed that there were wa
ter springs. Such is found not to he
the fact, hut, on the contrary, the
whole mount is honeycombed with a
series of remarkable rock-hewn cis
terns, in which the water, conveyed
by an aqueduct from Solomon’s Pools,
near Bethlehem, was stored. These
cisterns are connected by a system of
channels cut out of the rock, so that
when one was full the surplus water
ran into the next, until the final over
flow was carried off to the Kedron.—
One of the cisterns had a capacity of
two million gallons, and the total
number of gallpns that could be stor
ed in all the cisterns exceeded ten
millions. And yet, with these gigan
tic means of supplyii g the city with
water which at no extravagant ex
pense might at any time have been
made available, the dependence of the
inhabitants for a thousand years has
beeu upon cisterns which receive the
rainfall from the roofs of houses and
the gutters of streets.
THE CHURCH OF TIIE HOLY SEPULCHRE.
Next to the Sanctuary, in point of
interest, is the Church of the Holy Se
pulchre, said to contain within its
walls tiie tomb of our Lord. It is sit
uated in what is called the Christian
quarter of the town, at a considerable
distance from the Sanctuary. The
authenticity of the Holy Sepulchre
has been the subject of fierce dispute
for many ages. This dispute is not
settled, though much progress lias been
made towards its solution by the ex
cavations. At the time of the cruci
fixion, it is agreed by all parties, the
place of our Lord’s burial was outside
of the walls. The place now pointed
out is within them. This has always
been explained by the alleged fact
that after Constantine built his
“Church of tiie Resurrection,” the
town was spread out and surrounded
it. Others are certain that the pres
ent site must have been always with
in tiie limits of the ancient city, and
that the sepulchre must he looked for
elsewhere. The solution of this diffi
cult question depends upon—first, the
existence of an earlier wall surroun
ding the city ; and second, upon its
course ; if it existed and ran to the
east of the alleged place of the sepul
chre, the position claimed is doubtless
conect; if it rati to the west, the po
sition is certainly wrong. It is signif
icant that up to the jiresent time, in
spite of every effort, no portion o, this
wall has been discovered. The point
at which it started and that at which
it ended are alike unknown.
ROBINSON’S ARCII.
More than thirty years ago Prof.
Edward ilohinson -believed that he
had discovered in Jerusalem traces oi
the arch of a bridge which led from
the temple to Zion. If this was true
it would furnish a key to unlock sev
eral archaeological difficulties. But the
great antiquity of the arch was doubt
ed by travelers as erudite as the Pro
fessor himself. He nevertheless sup
ported his theory strongly. It be
came finally one of the many “mooted
questions,” and “Robinson’s Arch”
was one of the curiosities of the Holy
City. Whether belonging to the time
of Solomon or Justiiium ; whether the
support ol a vast viaduct or the en
trance to royal cloisters; this jutting
out of a few large stones, as if burst
from the wall by some heavy shock—
the “fragment of the Arch is nothing
more than this in appearance—the
place has been sought eagerly of late
years by American and European
tourists in spite of the dissuasions of
guides and the dangers of narrow
streets. At the convent, where tour
ists from the west generally stop, the
inquiry of new-comers lor “Robinson’s
Arch” became a subject for constant
merriment, and the demand to he ta
ken there, always followed by Orien
tal shrugs and gesticulations, was the
bele noir of muleteers and camel-dri
vers.
The dispute on tliis subject has at
last been settled. At no inconsidera
ble cost, in the face of strong opposi
tion from the Pacha, and with great
perseverence, Captain Warren sunk
seven shafts in a line east and west
across tiie Tyropnean valley. He has
settled it beyond question that Dr.
Robinson’s conjecture was correct.—
The bulge in the wall is the fragment
of an arch built in the time of Solo
mon. There exist in vast masses the
remains of a viaduct. There are the
fallen voisstors of the arches and the
ruins of the piers.
It is impossible within the limits of
a single article to do more than glance
at the results of this “recovery of Je
rusalem,” as it has been called. We
know for the first time the form, arch
itecture and internal arrangement of
the earliest dwellings in Jerusalem,
and the sizes and character of the
thoroughfares—streets they can hard
ly be called. We have learned some
thing of tl ? household utensils and ag
ricultural implements, the mechanical
tools and the military armor of the an
cient inhabitants. The state of cer
amic art—that index of civilization—
among the early Hebrews, as compar
ed with its condition among contem
porary nations, has also been shown.
Many questions, of course, like that of
the size and shape of the temple area,
are still unanswered. But enough lias
been discovered to warrant the belief
that the continuation of the work will
add materially to a knowledge of what
Dean Stanley called “the internal re
lations of Jerusalem.”
“The Bloody Assizes.”—Even
Forney is getting ashamed of the ty
rannous persecutions by the Federal
authorities in North and South Caro
lina, where, under pretense of sup
pressing the Ku-Klux, citizens ure
dragged from their homes, arraigned
before partisan judges and packed ju
ries, and upon the testimony of ignor
ant, perjured negroes, condemned and
subjected to excessive punishments for
imaginary offences ; all in direct con
travention of the letter and spirit of
the Constitution, and in utter subver
sion of the principles of American lib
erty. Even the corrupt and degraded
Forney feels that such lawless tyran
ny must sooner or later react upon his
party, aud he attempts to palliate the
outrage by pleading necessity for its
perpetration. He says :
“If the proper State authorities
would undertake the work of rooting
out the Ku-Klux wherever it exists, it
would he much more satisfactory to
the couutry than ior the national au
thorities to he obliged to interfere,
and to no part of the country more
than to the Republican party.”
No one knows Letter than Grant’s
bootlick and editorial clacqucr that all
this ue and cry a >out Ku-Klux out
rages is a matter of pure invention fur
political purposes. He knows that
four-fifths of the alleged crimes of the
Ku-Klux have no foundation in fact,
while the acts of lawlessness that do
occasionally occur are instigated by
emissaries of his party, or provoked
by the persecutions, outrages and in
sults of the miserable, ignorant, mon
grel iumle of plunderers aud Thieves
whom they have placed in possession
of tiie local governments of tiie South.
The occasional lawless demonstrations
at the South are only the inevitable ef
fects of a Radical cause lor which a
corrupt, malignant and vindictive
Government is wholly responsible.—
The people of the South desire good
government, peace and order. So far
as they are permitted to exercise the
privileges of self-government, they en
force the laws for tiie suppression of
crime. If the Federal Government
would aid in the accomplishment of
this object, it lias only to cease its ty
rannous oppression and relentless per
secution, remove its villainous satraps
and harpies from our midst, and re
store us to tiie rights with tiie res
ponsibilities of local self-government.

Farms—in the Housaionic Valley—
which a few years since carried from
fifteen to twenty cows, now carry from
twenty-five to thirty, and the cows
which formerly returned to their own
ers from $-30 to $00 annual income,
now ret'-rn from $S0 to $100. A large
farmer in Egremont has realized on an
average the latter sum from his twen
ty-one cows the past year, and from his
experiments in feeding cut and steam
ed food, is confident that the coming
year he shall realize SiOOO from thirty
cows. This is an income equal to that
received by the Judge of our Superior
Court, and is a good answer to the
question, “ Will farming pay ?” The
number of milch cows in the State in
1805 was 1432S6, without counting
the 31.1t>0 heifers; and if these cows
could be made to give a return of SI00
each, the income from this branch of
farming alone would he $14,32t>,00 ). 1
