cflitnfds ROBINSON. Physical Geography of the Holy Land. By Edward Robinson, D.D., LL.D., Professor of Biblical Literature in the Union Theological Seminary, New York. A Supplement to the late Author's Biblical Researches in Palestine. Published by Crocker & Brewster,_ Boston. Svo., pp. 399. For sale by J. . Lippincott &;Co. With all the high valuation deservedly placed by Biblical scholars upon the works of the lamented author, issued before his death, this posthumous fragmentary volume, prepared for the press by his accomplished widow, alone reveals to us the vastness of his plans and the wealth of his material for instructing his contemporaries upon the branch of Biblical knowledge which he had made his especial study. The " Bibli cal Researches" were but the foundation of a great systematic work, or series of works, upon the Physical, Historical and Topo graphical GeOgraphy of the Holy Land and contiguous territories, as Sinai, Lebanon, Mesopotamia, Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Asia-Minor, Greece, and Italy. Of all this great plan, only the comparatively small portion embracing the Physical Geogra phy of Palestine proper, was achieved by the great-minded author. Yet it is perhaps the most important part of the whole, and would, have constituted the most prized portion, if the whole had been completed. And this part, we are told, is " thorough and complete in itself, without a missing note, without the omission of a single word to be subsequently inserted." What a treasure was providentially shut out from Biblical students at the death of this earnest and faithful investigator, this rare scholar, who knew how to combine the most intense scientific interestwith the hum blest faith and the soundest and most common sense views, we can only guess from the preciousness of the fragment that envious death has spared us. Ex pede Hereulem. Every mountain, every valley, every plain, every lake and river, even the fountains, acqueducts and cisterns of the Holy Land are appropriately grouped, compared and described. Then come statements upon the climate, including the Seasons, Tem perature, Winds, and Purity of the Atmos phere, and upon the Geological Features of the Country. The Appendix contains the Physical Geography of the Syrian Coast. It is undoubtedly the most complete scien tific work, not only upon Palestine, but upon Physical Geography, in the English lar gunge. That the subject is eminently worthy of the amount of zeal and of patient, scholarly labor bestowed upon it by , the gifted author, appears from the providential adaptations which are .brought to light by the study. "It is seen at "a: glance," says the author, in the closing:paragraphs of the Introduction, "that while'Palestine was; in ' ancient:times in a manner isolated:from all other 'countries, it yet formed the middle point of all intercourse and communication between the most populous and powerful nations of 'Asia, Africa, and Irur'ope. We may thus perceive the wisdom of the divine counsels in planting in this remote and appa rently isolated land,, the ,people to whom the knowledge of the true God and of the gos pel was to be revealed, in order that they should make it known to other nations. Probably from no other spot in the ancient world could this knowledge have been spread abroad, in all directions, and so widely, so constantly, and for so long a period of ages!' R.

A well-wrought tale of the war in Ten nessee, full of the excitement, the hair breadth escapes, and the thrilling adven tures in which that portion of the theatre of war has abounded. Nor is it exagge rated or unnatural, unless in the crowded and rapid movement of, the narrative, scarce ly giving, the reader a resting-place from one scene of romance to another. Mr. Trowbridge's books are deservedly popular, and " The Three Scouts" lacks none of the elements which have gained its predeces- sors such a "run." INGELOW. Studies for Stories. By Jean Ingelow.

'Valua ble moral lessons are inculcated in a most genial manner. Good faste and good sense and a certain delicate tact, rather than in tensity of feeling or ingenuity . of plot, cha racterize the " Studies," which by the title suggest something more pretentious to come, as skirmishers give promise of an army close behind.

[lf there is any -value in the following statements and suggestions from the pen of a Western New York correspondent of the Country Gentleman, they will be timely for this season . of the year ; when the 'farmer is planning:his yearly agricultural oarnpaign.] At an early period in my career of farm ing I embraced the English idea that tur nips and other root crops. were essential to successful farming, because it enabled one to feed a larger stock of animals from a aiven surface than could otherwise be clone and thereby greatly increased• the manurial resources of the farm. I scion foUnd, how ever, that the conditions of climate so essen tial to the profitable, cultivation of roots, and of turnips in particular ; were wanting in a large degree in this country. That, in stead of the humid atmosphere of England, we had hot dry, seasons, which rendered the cultivation of that bulb exceedingly , preca rious; so much so, that, with:our very hard, cold winters, and the increased'amount of room required for storage, no farnier could afford to grow them. My attention was next directed to Indian corn as a substitute, and I easily came to the conclusion that I eouldMake morebeef, mutton, or pork, from an acre of corn, both stalks and grain, than I could from the same surface in roots. It was not, however, until I +adopted the plan of cutting' or chaffing the stalks that I began to realize the full value of the plant to the farmer. I have now had several years' experience with chaffed stalks, each year improving upon the experience of the last, and begin to think that I pretty well understarl the subject of making the most of coarse forage for winter supply. But heretofore I have, with a very slight exception, confined myself to the stalks of the cornfield after the grain has been se cured, observing the result of others' ope rations who have sown or drilled in corn exclusively for fodder I took a hint from a milkman who lived near Buffalo and sup plied milk to that city. He was in the habit of sowing several acres with Western corn broad-cast, cutting it up before the frcst, and curing in large stooks well set up and fastened at the top with , strong bands, and only drawn in when wanted in the winter. The stalks were cut and hot still-slops THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1865 poured upon them, and then fed. He win tered his cows in this manner, and always had a good flow of milk, and his cows kept in high condition. I became satisfied that to make the stalks of increased value to the cattle, some method must be devised to moisten the stalks before feeding , an d having some twenty-five acres of cornfiodder, and considerable straw, and only a small quan tity of hay—rather a large stock of animals, some forty head of cattle and seven horses —I prepared vats in the basement of one of my barns, into which the cut feed falls from the cutter. I found that the cattle averaged about three bushels of feed per day; the vats therefore held enough for twenty-four hours' feeding and an extra feed, or four feeds. When we begin to feed from one vat, the other is filled by wettinc , down every few baskets full of dry feed, and forking it to the opposite end. Before commencing to wet down, a barrel is filled with water, and salt added to make it slightly brackish, and something more than a barrel of water is used upon the barrel of cut feed, and entirely absorbed. In a few hours fer mentation commences, and before we begin feeding from the vat the 'feed has become sninhing hot. Thus far the cattle eat it with great avidity, and seem to thrive; at any rate, the cows which are in milk do not decrease the daily flow. The stalks are cut with about one-third their bulk of bright wheat straw, cut when 'the wheat was well out of the milk, but the berry not hard. The straw is not saved under cover. The length of cut is about three-quarters of an inch. I think for sheep I should cut not to exceed half an inch. A few of the coarsest butts are left by the cattle, and a still smaller number by the horses. The waste is not as much as with good timothy or clover hay. In my practice, the fodder from an acre of., corn is worth all that it costs to make the crop. This leads to the question how much win ter forage can be grown upon an acre by means of cornstalks ? I am satisfied that the stalks grown upon a square yard will furnish fodder for a cow or ox for twenty four hours. There are about two hundred days foddering for our animals. An acre contains 4480 square yards, or will contain, if fairly cultivated, the necessary fodder for twenty-two animals the usual number of days. If the corn be drilled in early, and not too thick, say at the rate of two and a half bushels to the acre, there will be small ears enough perfected to supply all the grain necessary to keep those animal's in good store condition. But as I may err, and it is better to do so on the safe side, let us double the quantity, say two square yards —and any person who will measure off three feet by six feet will, readily concede that it is no very large yield to say three bushels of chopped stalks will be produced from that space. We then have food for eleven head. It must be understood that it is only by feeding cut feed that I claim such results can be achieved. GAPES IN CHICKENS. I will nest mention a disease - common to chickens- at an early age-=-I mean the gapes. These are'caused by numerous small :worms in the throat. ,Th,e best,,way kno,w.of c'etting rid of them, is to take a hen's ; tail feather, strip it to within an inch of the end, put' it down the chicken's throat, twist it sharply round several times; and' drami-it quickly out : the worms will be found en tangled in the feathers. When this is not effectual in removing them, if the tip of the feather be'dipped in turpentiee, it will kill them, butit must be put down the wind pipe, not the gullet. I have always thought these are- got from impure water, and I have been informed by a gentleman who inquires closely into those things, that having placed Some of the worms taken from the throat of a chicken, and some from the bottom of a water-butt, where rain had remained for a long time, in a microscope, he found them identical. I have never met with, gapes where fowls-had a running stream to water at. Camphor is perhaps the best cure there is for gapes, and if some is constantly kept in the water they drink, they take it readily. This has been most successful There is also another description of gapes, arising probably from internal fever; I have found:meal mixed with milk and salts a good remedy. They are sometimes caused by _,a hard substance at the tip cif. the tongue; • in this case, remove it sharply with the thumb-nail, and let it bleed freely. A gen tleman mentioned this to me who had met with it in an old French writer on poultry. Sometimes a fowl will droop almost sud denly, after being in perfect health;. caught directly, it will be found it has eaten somethin€ , that has hardened in the crop; pour plenty of warm water down the throat, and loosen the food till it is soft, then give a tablespoonful of castor oil, or about •as much jalap as will lay on, a ten ,cent piece : mixed in butter; make a pill of it and slide it into the crop; the fowl will be well ill the morning. Cayenne pepper or chalk, both mixed with meal, are the best remedy for scouring.—Wilkes' Spirit. SHEEP-:EATING TOBACCO, In the winter of 1864 we stated the seemingly wonderful- arid anomalous fact that several flocks of Merino sheephad been found to be fond of eating the small or damaged dry leaves left on tobacco stalks, and of pe'eling off, and eating the dry bark or external skin, from these stalks. In the eases related, the sheep were not impelled by hunger, nor did they acquire it as a trick or habit, from any- incidental cause, No even more spontaneously than a Bowery boy, they took to " the weed" at sight ! We suppose that even Meinherr Dutchman the first-time he took a pull at a meerschaum, felt some qualms, and that his first quid turned out to be a quid pro pie! Not so with Don Merino. The vice comes to him without teaching or practice. We do actually and seriously find that the eases we give are the rule and not the exception it is a serious fact that all Merino flocks (so, far as we have heard of its being tried,) will thus eat tobacco thrown out to them in winter. The commence nibbling it at once, and soon consume it habitually and quite freely. We have received this statement ffom numerous reliable tobacco growers Perhaps other breeds of sheep would'feed upon it as freely, but .our informants have all been Merino fiockmasters. Not the least injury appears to accrue to sheep, from actually eating this powerful vegetable nar cotic which contains a principle (Nicosia or Hicotin) so deadly, that a drop of it in the state of concentrated solution will kill a dog. Few human tobacco chewers can Swallow much of it with impunity. We knew a case last winter where it was regu larly fed to breeding ewes, (by Chester Ba ker, Lafayette, N. Y.,) and it produced no injury to the ambs. They became strong and were healthy. This corresponds with the experience of all the feeders of it whom we have conversed with - . Most of these gentlemen regard it as nutritious food to sheep, so far as they eat it—and some fancy that their sheep are healthier for having it We confess that, to us, this is one of the most paradoxical facts in natural history. Well, we hope our Merinoes won't take to smoking next, for if the do they will set all the barns afire. They are already accused, by their enemies, of setting a good many men's brains afire I—Rural New Yorker. Mintitanoito. A RELIGION OF FOUR LETTERS. " There is a wide difference between your religion and mine," said a Christian lady to one in whose spiritual condition she had long been interested. " Indeed," said he, "how is that ?". - " Your religion," she replied, " has only two letterh in it. and mine has four." It'seems that this gentleman was one of that numerous class who are seeking to get to heaven by their doings, by attention to ordinances and ceremonies, by what the apostle, in the ninth of Hebrews, terms " dead works." But he did not understand about the '-ltwo letters" and the "four." His friendhad often spoken to him, and on the occasion to which our anecdote refers, she had called to take her leave of him for some time, as she was about to go from home. " What do you mean," said he, "by two etters andi four ?" " Why your religion," said the lady, " is d-o, do; - Whereas mine is d-o-n : e, done." This was all that passed. The lady took her leave; but her words remained and did their. work in the soul of her friend—a revolutionary work verify. The entire cur rent of his thoughts were Changed. Do is one thing; done is quite another.. The former is.legOsm ; the 'latter is Christianity. It was a novel and very original mode of putting_ the gospel; but it was just the mode for a, legalist, _and the. Spirit of God used it in the conversion of this gentleman. When next he met his friend, he said to her, Well, I can now say, with you, that my religiori is d-o-n-e, done." He had learnt to_fling aside his deadly doings,.end rest in the finished work of. Christ. He was led to see that it was no longer a ques tion of what he could do for God, but of what God had' done for him. This settled: rivery thing. The four golden letters: shone under the gaze of his emancipated soul, Precious letters! Pre . eious word.! Who can tell the relief to a burdened heart when it disbovers that all is, done? :,, t W,hat joy to know that:what I have been teiiing, for r it may be many, a icingrea`i,Wa,s . alldone, over eighteen hun dred' years' ago 'on' the cross! Christ 'has' done allY has'put away sin--magnifted. the law, and ,raide it honorable-L-satisfied the, claims of Divine justicevanguished Satan—taken the sting from death and the victory from the grave - glorified God in the very scene in which he had been dis honored-bronght in everlasting righteous ness. All his: is wrapped up in these four golden letters, " d-o-n-e." Ohl who would not, give up the two for the four ? Who would not exchange "do" for " done." Reader, what say you to this ? What of your religion ? Does it consist of two let ters or four ? Is it still " do" with you? Or have,you found your happy portion and rest in "done?" Do think of it, dear friend; think deeply, think seriously, and may God's Spirit lead you this moment to cease from your own doings, and to rest in what Christ has already " done." MYSTERIES OF NEW YORK, Sixteen thousand families in this city -ha'ie a house apiece. More than 14,000 others live two in a house ; 4500 buildings contain three families each; while the re maining 12,000 houses shelter 73,000 fami lies, averaging six each, or 35 persons to a house. The statistics of the wards, are more sickening than this. Fifty-five houses in the First Ward contain 70 souls each, in the Tenth, 1251 families live in 73 houses; or 80 souls to a house. There are 580 tene ments . that contain 10,933 persons; 193 tenements that have 111 persons in each; and 29 , houses in which 5449 persons live! Four Mites of Fifth Avenue have 400 fami lies; a. single block, not far off, contains 700 families and .3501) souls. Such statis tics are. appallirg. They tell of vice and crime, and poVe - ify such n's never meets the public eye. They - put to . rout all ideas of decency, or propriety, or .purity. A hun dred persons,of all ages, and both sexes, in the eight rooms of a wretched tenement, what can they hope for but, misery, pesti knee, degradation. These places Multiply thieves and vagabonds, they swell the bills of mortality, they are reserved for the day of vengeance, when the plague long nursed by avarice; and cruelty, and oppression, shall burst forth in fury from its hiding place, and sweep down the rich owner and the grasping agent, and the wretched tenant, into a common grave. To remedy this evil and avert this calam ity, the way is plain, and the Monthly Re cord of the Five Points House of Industry,. plainly states it "Give the poor houses in which they can live with some comfort and decency, which is out of the question in thlpresent domi ciles accessible to them. SMie few of the men. of wealth of this city, who have at heart.the welfare of the poor, have asso ciated with the purpose of purchasing tene ment properties, with a view of remoeling them so as to secure comfortable and de cent habitations to the masses. The man who shall leave behind him when dead, one block covered with buildings, (not expen sive), well-planned with tenements access). ble to the temperate, frugal, honest poor, will leave a monument more to be desired than any ever built to any conqueror."— N. y Observer. trijant CHARLES STOKES & CO.'S FIRST-CLASS "ONE PRICE" READY-MADE CLOTHING STORE No. 824 CHESTNUT STREET, (Under the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia.)
