Scientific. EXPLORATIONS. •, IN JERUSALEM. Mr. Urovo, the JEon. Secretary of the Pa lestine Exploration Fund, states: th'at Lieu tenant Watfreh.continues his researches at Jerusalem, chiefly.in the Tyfdpceon Valley, under the west will of the Haram firea, at the two arches known respectively as ‘‘ Rob inson’s ” and “ Wilson’s.” 1.. At the former of these, which is at the southeast corner of the Temple enclosure, the first pier has after much tunnelling, been discovered at a depth of 42ft. belojiv the surface biE-Ahe soil,' and 41ft. 6in. from the Temple wall. The pier is 12ft. 2in.i«itC!fe (S. toW.); and 46ft. long (N. to S.Jj Sft.

The unskilled farmer may get a living; that is, keep out of the poof house and perhaps half clothe and half educate his children. But who is, or should be, satisfied with a mere living ? Civilization —advancingcivili- zation, demands a higher, social, moral, in tellectual and religious culture, than con stant physical labor can yield. There must be time for study—for thought—for discus sion. He in whose hands has been placed the grandest industry the world has ever known,—the : industry upon which :all other industries rost, and out of which all other industries grow—he, who can make all science-and art:contribute to aid him in his daily toil should appreciate the higli posi tion placed withiri his reach. “And seeing the fact which all history establishes, that a division of labor has done more: than any other thing to amel iorate the condition of labor and increase its rewards—he should divide up this great industry of agriculture, and taking one branch, devbtb’ himself, body and blind, to its full development; ~ -Consulting his tastes, fhis locality, the quality of his the young fhrmer decide whether/breeding'of Horses, or ’sheep, or caftlb, ' or, swine—or whether raising of cereals, or foots,'or seeds, "SKalf ’ButJUy'alY means, flatsbim devote himself to one of the grahd' divisions.
