EXPLORATIONS. •, IN JERUSALEM.
Mr. Urovo, the JEon. Secretary of the Pa

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.

The passage appears to lie under the 1 Street

CURIOUS NESTS OF BIRDS.

a great number of nests of ■ a very curious

representation in the possession of‘the itou-,

The report ofitbe State which

Lnishcjs infortoation lt shows
that tihpre is ah abundance of\this substance
in almost, if not quite, evqpy of the
State. It is found in quantities in the form
of turf, whi,ch, when cut in blocks a little
larger than a brick and then dried, can be
handled without crumbling,- and also in the

" 1 INTELLIGENT FARMING.
The Massachusetts Ploughnian has a report
o£un address delivered ißy?<s)f.3>ftaiel Nried
ham,/at: Concord, N. Ft.,. Sept, 25th, wnich
has many suggestions that are suited to
.other latitudes as well, We make the . fol
lowing extracts: , ’
* “New England farmers had not, been
businqss men.; They hadyugtsta^ie"d ; their
profession. -1 They had'read Looks and pa
pers,"bearing upon an unfolding,of their Art,
sparingly. Time, which should'haye’been
spent in reading arid'systematic study, had
been passed at" the country store .or post
office. The brain wort which enters into
every successful department, of bitmap ,i,n
;dustfy, had not been giventfo this complex
'and undjaveloped industry; which had gone
under the broad name of New-England
farming. .. ..!, , . ..." ... ' ;
.O'Let the farmer- see-his type of succesq
id the mechanic, whose division of labor has
not only developed ..skijl, which ptheifwiße
could never havO 'bcen brorigh t out, but con
tributed vastlyto the happiness oflthe indi
vidual man and the wealth-of'-Socibty-.-. Be r
fore purchasing* x his fariri'let him determine
'■-iheWanbh'OTagrfeulturetowhich he-will de
vote himself. Let him get.out-.of the old
ruts in which the fathe9s travelled; nor try
to "do everything, but try to do one thing,
and do-that one thing well. Not-in his la
bors of tho farm; undertake'to produce all
the domestic..animalV.kno.wn:to the race—
and all the roots andvcereals that three hum
dred years of American civilization have ag
gregated; but determine to which one of the
great and varied pursuits of agriculture he
will devote his time, his study and his skill.
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,

spot, adapted to his wants. The man is of
more consequence.than the farm. The farm
is but to develop the man,; and no young
man should ever be subservient to position;
or rising abcive ..them, .sh.buld
use the material which nature Has(placed, at
his command for the .greatest development'
of his manhood. By all tirieariS; start rjyht,
and the difficulty Of Securing h ead way after
ward, .is a matter of no. more anxiety than
the growth of a healthy plant well* 1 set-in a
soil and a climate indigenous toits genus.
“As a merchant may-be a good judge of
groceries and know nothing of cloths, pr a
good financier may know nothing of manu
facturing, so a farmer may raise splendid
horses and know nothing Of sheep 1 ; may be
a most successful shepherd and know no
thing of cattle; may falsa the best and

of cattle, horses anti sheep. Let tho young
