What good each might do for his neighbor, Did all of us go the right way ; How' many a poor fellow, whose talents To elevate science would tend. Is lost to the world's gaze forever, And all through the want of a friend. Then stretch forth your hand like a brother. For remember that life's but a span ; 'Tts onr duty to help one another, And do a good turn when we can. Some boast of thoir wealth and connexions, And look with contempt upon those Of lower degree quite forgetting The means by which they perhaps roe. Eo be kind to the poor and the lowly, Ne'er otter a word that's untrue ; Prize the maxim which says, "Act to others As you would they should act unto you." Then stretch forth your hand like a brother, Since life's after all but a span ; Let us try to assist one another, And do a good turn when we can. GlTS MISTAKE. "For me, I adore, Some twenty or more, And lore them all most dearly." Snob was the light air hammed by a young man one evening in the month of September, between the hour of seven and eight, as he turned into a court leading out of Washington street, in tho City of New York, iu which his boarding house was located. The character of tho &lr suited well the ap pearance of tLe aforesaid young blade, for, we saw him as Le turned into the court, the light of the lamp illuminating him, be was tall and slander, but finely formed, and his pale, handsome features, and large bright eyes, with large circles around them, told of late honrs and excitement. His frock coat buttoned to the top by a sin gle button, pants of a si.uH colored hue, with Test, with a chain attached to its lowermost button, fastened to the duce knows what in bis vest pocket ; boots, hat and dickey of the la test fashion, and a switch cane, completed the tout ensemble of our hero. A3 we said before, he was humming a tune as he went into the court. Passing up, he censed, and his thoughts, if they had been tittered, would have run something like this : Some forty or fifty more, I should have eaid. Byron was a bard case ; one of the b'hoys decidedly ; hanged if he was not the personification of bis Don Juan. He went on the principle of "go it while you're young," and be did go it with a vengeance. During these cogitations, be reached, as he supposed, bis boarding house. Ascending the steps, be sent bis hands on an exploring expe dition in bis pocket and extricated an instru ment resembling a portable poker with a join ted handle. Inserting this instrument into . a icund hale in the door, be affected an en trance to the houe. Oa entering he was somewhat surprised at the disappearance of the bat tree and a table in Its place. "Where the deuce has that hat tree gone to now, I should like to know," Le mentally ex claimed, throwing oS bis hat, "how awful qui . et it is just now," be continued proceeding to the parlor. : Finding it in total darkness,he was still more surprised. "Junof is everybody dead,. I wonder T I'll have light on the subject, anyhow," and with thai determination, he crossed the room in search of a match. He placed hia band on something that made him utter an exclama tion of surprise. "By everj thing that's blue it's a lady's shoe. Extraordinary events have been transpiring in my absence, a sofa here, striking against one placed near the mantlepiece. Tbey bave been scattering the personal property about at a terrible rate. Ab ! a baby's shoe. O ! mein Got t as the Dutchman would say." , . "Charles, ia that you 1" whispered a soft voice at that moment. ; " "Wbew ! what the duce is to pay now 1" be . almost ejaculated in surprise, but recovering himself, be answered in a whisper, "Yes, dear est, it is me over the left," he said to him self. ' ' ' "J see now bow it is. I'm in the wronjr - bouse, and this damsel thinks I'm her Charles ; no matter, I'm in for it now, and might as well see this qneer affair through." r So thinking be seated himself on the sofa, fey bcr side, with one band clasped in bers. ? , "Charles," said she, "what made yoa stay "so late 1 I have been waiting for you this half hour.,, -- " "The deuce you have," thought be. "Indeed I'm vciy sorry, but positively could not get here any sooner." '"The folks bave all gone away this evening, and we'll wake the most of our lime," she eaid. . "Yes, by jove we will," was the reply, as he ' embraced her and imprinted several kisses on her lips. i "I wonder who I'm kissing in the dark," (thought be, during the operation." -; "Why Charles I think you ought to be , ashamed of yourself ; you never did so before." ; "Charles must be a modest youth," thought . our hero. , '.' -- "Charles," you must not do ao; what do you . mean V . "I'm making the beat of my time," was the reply. . - , : " '- 'You remember the last time I eaw you, you said you would tell me to-night when we should be married," the damsel said. A, whistle nearly escaped the .lips of Gas, (such was the abbreviated sponsorial of our beroVI should say immediately," he thought, "but she might mistrust and that would be no go." "The time, dearest," he answerd, "will be when most convenient to yourself." "Oh ! how glad I am !" "What a pickle I would be in if the folks would pop in all of a sudden," he thought at that moment; and as the thought passed thro' his mind a latch fumbled in the door. At this ominous sound, bis lady companion sprang to her feet, greatly frightened. "O, dear, what shall I do f" was her excla mation. "Here comes the folks." "What shall I do V asked Gus, springing up. "O, deaf? O, dear!" she exclaimed, "where' shall I bide you T There is no closet, and you cannot get out of the room before the folks will see you. O, mercy, I shall lose my place. There, the door is opening quick hurry hide under the sofa." He didn't think of a better place, but pop ped down on the floor, and commenced crawl ing underneath. His progress was greatly ac celerated by her feet, which she applied most vigorously to his ribs. "Thunder ! what a plantation she has got," said Gus, as she came in contact with his side. He found the space uuder the sofa very nar row, so much so that he had to lay flat on his face. "Hist ! there they come one two three daughters, the old man and woman and two gents, friends of the ladies, I suppose. Here they are down on the sofa. How I would like to grasp that delicate little foot. I wonder how long I have got to stay here f I hope the conversation will be edifying." In this manner his thoughts ran for the space of an hour. By that time he felt his situation anything but pleasant, not being able to move an inch. There were no signs of their depar ture, judging by their lively talk; and not knowing how long he would bave to stay in such quarters, caused him to anathraetize them severely ; and he got worn to such a pitch that he let an oath slip accidentally thro' his lips. "Hark ! what's that T" exclaimed one, but the others beard nothing. "Jcsu Maria !" thought Gus, "what a nar row escape. "If any of the rest had heard it, I should have been discovered ; then a pretty plight I would bave been in. I should have been taken for a burglar." While thus congratulating himself on his escape, a shawl belonging to one of the ladies, which hung over the back of the sofa, slipped behind. It was soon missed, and a search was commenced. "It must have fallen behind the sofa," said the owner. "I'll ascertain," said one of the young men rising from the sofa. Seizing one end, ho whirled it into the middle of the room. What a scream ! The young ladies nearly fainted away at the sight of Gus on his face. "Burglar! thief! robber!" cried the head of the family, retreating toward the door. "Very complimentary,' saidGus, looking up. The two young men seized and raised him to bis feet. "Give an account of yourself, now came you here ?" said one of them. v "Thieves ! Jobber ! watch !" screamed the ladies. "Stop your noise !" shouted the old man as Gus commenced an apology. "Ladies and gentlemen,' said he, "yon bave found me concealed under the sofa in a bur glarious manner, but upon my soul it was for a very different purpose." He then went on and gave a lucid explana tion, and in such a manner that it set the whole company in a roar of laughter. The girl was then called and questioned in regard to the matter- "1 shall now see at any rate what I've been skylarking with," thought Gus, as he heard ber steps coming'towards the room. A moment more and a daughter of Ham, as black as the -ace of spades, strode into the room. Such an apparition of darkness struck our hero dumb. For a moment he was a model of amazement, but a roar restored bis shattered sense and he then became fully aware of bis ridiculous position. . "Where is my hat 7" he faintly articulated, and rushed quickly from the room. Until sleep closed his eyes, did that roar of laughter ring in his ears,and when sound asleep the vision of a "niggeress" flitted before him. Takixg it Coollt. The following is the latest joke upon John Bull : John was travelling on some Western rail road, when a tremendous explosion took place, the cars at the same time coming to a sndden halt. The passengers sprang up in terror, and rushed out to acquaint themselves with the mischief all butMr. Bull, who continued read ing his newspaper. In a moment somebody rushed back and informed bim that the boiler had burst. "Awe I" muttered the Englishman. "Yes," continued bis informant, "and six teen persons have been killed." ' "Awe V grunted the Englishman again. And and" said his interlocutor, with an effort, VJTur. owo man" TOur MfT"""118 been blown into a hundred pieces. . ".iws bring me tkt pitct that Aai wewy e my portmanteau I - ' A DESCENT INTO THE CATACOMBS. The catacombs are underground passages, where the ancient Egyptians buried their dead. The crocodile was regarded by them as sacred, or rather, perhaps, they had sacred crocodiles, and these, like the bodies of the Egyptians themselves, were embalmed and de posited in the caverns used for burial places. The following thrilling account of a descent into the Catacombs is from William C. Prime's "Boat Life in Egypt and Nubia:" The descent into the cavern was by sitting on the edge, swinging off with one hand on each side of the hole, and dropping into the depths below, where a soft bed of sand received us, in a chamber just large enough to hold the eight persons of whom the party consisted all standing in a stooping posture, while we lighted our candles and arranged for progress. I tossed my tarbouchc and takea tip to my dragoman, Abdel-Atti, and left my head bare. Then following the principal guide, I lay down flat on my face, holding my candle before mc, and began to advance with as close a resemblance to a snake's motion as human yertcbree will ad mit of. .My own guide and Abdallah followed me ; the English gentleman next, and the drag oman and guide bringing up the rear. I pro gressed slowly and with great difficulty, con stantly bruising my back on the sharp points of the rock above mc, some five or six yards. Legh calls it eight, but I think it is not so much. We were now able to stand up again in a steop ing posture, the ceiling being a little over four feet high, and thus advanced eight or ten yards further until we reached the chamber of which Mr. Legh speaks. I am of the opinion that we had now arrived just under the bed of the torrent I have spoken of, and that the entire cavern which I afterwards explored, is a natu ral fissure in the rock, running under the point of meeting of two hills, and following the line of the valley between them. This is, of course, a conjecture, as I did not take a compass with me to determine the course. The chamber was a small, irregular, cavernous room, the floor of which was covered with shapeless mas ses of stone that had fallen from ttie reof. O ver these we stepped with some difficulty. I need not remark that the darkness was pro found, and the air so close that our candles burned but dimly, so that each man was o bliged to hold his own at his feet to determine where to set them. Crossing the room, we step ped over a chasm between a mass of rock and the wall of the chamber, to a point in the wafl which presented a rugged edge, and from this into a narrow doorway, about four feet high. I call it a doorway, for it resembles one, though I could find no signs of artificial origin about it. It was almost square, and opened into a sort of gallery, the floor of which was covered with broken rock, and interrupted by huge, deep fissures. A ledge at the side afforded tol erable walking for some distance, ia a stoop ing posture ; and then we again lay down on our faces, and crawled through a passage twen ty feet in length, entering the largest chamber in the pit. .. - I It was a very irregular chasm, perhaps sev enty or a hundred feet in diameter. Entrance to it was almost forbidden by clouds of bats, that met me in the narrow passage through which I was crawling, dashed into my face, wounding my face and cheeks, clinging by scores to my hair and beard, like so many thou sand devils disputing the enhance to hell. I can give no adequate idea of the chamber of horrors in which I now found myself. Pro foundly silent, we had crawled along, each man having a fast beating heart, and- listening to its throbs ; and now as I emerged into this room, the loud whirr of the myriads of bats was like the sound of another world into which I bad penetrated.' I staggered to a rock, and sat down, when a piercing yeli started me to my feet. It rang through the cavern as if the arch fiend himself were there, tormenting some poor soul. But it was only one of my poor friends, who were making their first entrance to an Egyptian catacomb, and had never before encountered the bats, with whom I was thor oughly familiar.' The man who was in advance was overwhelmed by the army that met him as he approached tho room. "What is it f" I shouted. . . "These bats ; they are devouring me." " "Push on ; they'll not harm you." . "My light is gone, and I can see nothing." ; "Here is my light come towsrd it.'.' I had relit my candle, which had been put out as his was, and was now seated in the centre of the cavern, on a black rock, holding it up before my face. As be emerged into the room, and caught sight of me, he uttered a bowl of ming led astonishment and terror. "Pluto or Sathanas, by all the Gods!" said his friend, coming up behind him and looking at me. My appearance must have been pictur esque, in my primitive costume, now begrim med with dirt, and seven bats (they counted them) hanging on my beard, with a perfect net work and Medusa coil of them in my hair. I was very little disturbed by the harmless little fellows, although before coming to Egypt, I scarcely knew of an animal in the world so dis gusting to my mind. But the atmosphere, if it may be so called, of this chamber, was be yond all description horrible. It was not an air to faint in there was too much ammonia for that.- It was foul, vile, terrible. I confess, that as I found myself panting1 for breath, and drawing long, deep inspirations, to very chok ing, without "reaching tfce right place" in mj lungs (I think every one understands that) I trembled for an instant at the thought of go ing further. It was but an instant, however, and the desire to see the great repository of the sacred animals overpowered the momenta ry terror. " Abdallah ?" .."Ya, llowajji." "If anything happens, if I fall down, give out, or faint, don't you run. Tell the guides that I have ordered Ab-del-Atti to shoot them, man by man, as they come out, if one of them nppcars without me. Do you pour this down my throat, and drag me out of the entrance. You understand 1" "Aiowah, Ya llowajji. Fear not ; I will do it." "Iiecollect that if I die, you all die, that is arranged for, as surely as you, one of you, at tempt the entrance without me, Ab-del-Atti is ready for you." The guides had listened attentively, and having seen me hand my pistols to my trusty dragoman before coming down, they believed every word of it, although it never occurred to mo until this moment. The gnides were all at fault here, precisely as they were ia Mr. Lcgh's time, and that of every traveller since. This chamber had been the end of most attempts to explore the pits. The intense darkness is some excuse for this, since our eight canllles wholly failed to show a wall anywhere around or above us. The men proposed that we should tit still, while they tried various passages opening out of the room. To this I objected, much preferring to trust myself at a juncture like this. In that intense blackness it was not easy to find the wayjwe had come in ; for, of course, there was no guide north or south, except my recollec tion of tho shape of the rock on which I was seated, and its bearings as I approached it. The reader will bear in mind that the whole floor of the room was covered with immense masses of rock, among which we moved about in search of outlets, leaving a man on that rock to mark its locality. After trying three passages that led nowhere, I hit on that one which the guides pronounced correct, and the party advanced. For the benefit of future ex plorers, if any such there be, I may explain that it is the first passage which goes out of the chamber to the right, as you enter it. That is to say, keeping the right hand wall wilt bring you to it, leaping a chasm at its en trance. This is the chasm of which Legh speaks. I found it only about six feet. The passage which we now entered was so low that I found it necessary t creep on my hands and knees, and sometimes to crawl, snake fashion, full length. It continued for a distance that I hesitate to estimate. It is wholly impossible to guess at the progress one is making ia such postures. Hennikcr, I think, makes it four hundred yards. I should think a thousand feet was a large estimate, but it may be as much. The air was now worse, lacking the ammonia. It seemed to be pure nitrogen. : The lungs operated freely, but took no benefit or refreshment from it, while the heat was awful, and perspiration rolled down our faces and bodies, soaking our clothes, and making mud on our features and bands with the fine dust that filled the atmosphere. At length the passage became so narrow that my progress was entirely blocked. - My broad shoulders would not go through, and I paused to consider the matter. The hole was about eighteen inches wide, and a little more than two feet high. Evidently, Mr. Legh did not pass beyond this. I was obliged' to lay over on my right side, presenting my body to it narrow way, up and down, and pushing with all the strength of my feet, as well as polling with my hands on the floor and rocky projec tions, I forced myself along about eight feet. In this struggle my brandy flask, which was in my trousers pocket, being under me, was bro ken to pieces, and my sole hope, in the event of a giving out of my faculties, was gone. At the time, I thought little of it, laughing at the occurrence, as I called out to those who fol lowed me ; but afterwards I remembered the accident with a shudder. The only argument that had allowed me to persuade myself to at tempt this exploration, was a promise that I would take brandy with me, which no one else had done, and, if necessary, secure -artificial strength thereby. It was gone now, and I was more than a thousand feet from light or air, in a passage that did not average four feet by two its entire length. A vigorous push sent me out into a more open passage, and a sort of doorway opened into a gallery on a level two feet lower. Jump ing down this step, I was, for the first time in nearly a half hour, where I could stand up. right. My English friend shouted for help be hind me. His light was gone out, and he was literally stuck in the hole. I returned, touch ed jny candle to his, and gave bim a hand to drag him through, and in a few moments. we ; were all standing together. We now advanced I some hundred feet, in a stooping posture most ly, but occasionally crawling as before, and at length, as we crept, the rough and very low parts of the gallery and the roof began to lift, and I found I was actually crawling over rnuwv mies. There was just here a sort of blind pas sage, at the side of the chief passage, In which the French expedition bad -carved their names. The wall was covered with a jet black substance like the purest lampblack, which the point ef a knife would scrape off, exposing the white rock. Numerous stalactites hung from the ceilings, all jet black, and some grotesque sta lagmites at the sides of the passage startled me at first with the idea that they were sculp tures. This black, sooty matter I cannot ac count for, unless it be tho exhalations in an cient times from the crocodiles which were laid here, for we are at last in tho depository. The floor was covered with crocodile bones and mummy clothes. A spark of fire falling into them ould have made this a veritable hell. As this idea was suggested my English friends, whose experience in the narrow hole had been sufficiently alarming, vanished out of sight. They fairly ran. Having seen the mum mies, and .seized a few small ones in their bands, they hastened out and left uie with Ab dallah and my two guides. Advancing over the mummies and up the hill which they form ed, I found that I was in one of the number of large chambers, of the-pth of which it was, of course, impossible to get any idea, as they were piled lull of mummied crocodiles to the very ceiling. There was no means of estima ting the number of them. When I say thtire were thousands of them, I shall not be thought to exaggerate, after I describe the manner in which they are packed and laid in. Climbing to the top of the hill and extin guishing all lights but one, which I made Ab dallah hold very carefully, I began to throw down the top of the pile to arcertain of what it was composed, and I at length made an o pening between the mummies and the ceiling, through which I could go on further, descend ing a sort of hill of those dead animals, such as I had come up. In this way I progressed ome distance, in a gallery or chamber that was not less that thirty feet deep. The crocodiles were lain in regular layers, head to tail and tail to head. First on the floor was a layer of large crocodiles, side by side, each one mummied and wrapped up iu cloths. Then smaller ones were laid between the tails, filling up the hollows between them. Then, and most curious of all, the remaining interstices were packed full of young croco diles, measuring with remarkable uniformity, about thirteen inches in length, each one stretched out between two slips of palm leaf stem,which were bound to its sides like splints, and then wrapped from head to foot in a slip of cloth, wound round, commencing at the tail and fastened at the head. Then small ones were done up in bundles, usually of eight, and pack ed in closely wherever they could be stowed. I brought out more than a hundred of them, of which my friends in Egypt seized on the most as curiosities, but I succeeded in getting some twenty or thirty of them to America with me. This layer completed, a layer of palm bran ches was carefully laid over it, spread thick and smooth, and then a second and precisely similar layer of crocodiles was made, and an other of palm branches, and thus continued to the ceiling. These palm branches, stems and mummies lio here in precisely the state tbey were two thousand years ago. No leaf of the palm was decayed. There could have been no moisture from the mummies whatever, or if any, it had no effect upon the palm branches. Among these crocodiles I found the mum mies of many men. Sitting down on the side of the bill, by the dim candle light, I overhauled gods and men with sacrilegious bands. It was a strange, wild and awful scene. Among all the pictures my memory has treasured of wandering life, I have none so fearful and thrilling as this. It was. hell a still, silent, cold hell. All these bodies layn rooms, in close packages, like so many souls doomed to eternal silence and sor row in this prison. Five bodies of men that I drew out of the mass lay before me, with their hideous stillness and inaction. I dared them to tell .me in words the reproaches of which their silent frowns were so liberal; reproaches for penetrating their abode and disturbing the repose of twenty or forty centuries. . These were of the poorest and most com mon sort, destitute of any box. Wound- In coarse clotb, they had been laid, in the grave with the beasts that were sacred to their god. One I found afterwards in a thin plain box, but it contained no indication of its period, and bore no marks of its owner's name or po sition, ranch to my disappointment. ;. "Let us gojnrtber," I eaid to the guide at length. There is no further." I was satisfied that tho entrance we had ef fected was not by the passage known to the ancients, and fiat some other outlet lay be yond these chambers. I pushed my way over the piles of mumies to where an other low pas sage went on, but it was too difficult of explo ration to tempt mt into it. It may lead to an outlet in the desert hitherto unknown, or that outlet may be long ago covered over , by the shifting sands. . What was the object of all this preservation of the Nile monsters, it is not within the scope of this volume to discuss. It is at least a mys tery, for we know so little of the Egyptian theory- of a hereafter, that we cannot understand what part the birds and beasts were te take part ia the resurrection." '" " V" I crawled out as I bad . crawled in. Before I came out froml chamber of horrors (Mad. amTussaud'e Is noClog like it) I laid the wreck of my brandy tisfc on a projecting shelf of rock, where the next explorer will find It. The cJUnce we that it wl tun tip in the Brit- ish or Prussian Museum, as evidence of tbw bad habits of the ancient Egyptians, thus prov ed to be strong in death. Isdiax Coax. Maize, or Indian Corn, orig-' inated in America, and is not yet, we think, cultivated to any extent on the European con tinent. Though the people of Great Britain Caimot be made to appreciate its merits very fully, the aggregate exports of com in 1856, in the form of whole grain, meal, corn starch, farina, etc., amounted to between seven and eight million dollars, or about one-fortieth of the wholo exports of the country, and 6,700, 000 bushels, considerably more than half, went to England alone. Corn has always been an important article ia this country, both of consumption and export. The total amount of this produce exported in 1770 was 578,349 bushels; in 1791, 2,064,93$ bushels, of which 351,695 were Indian meal. The value of corn and its manufactures expor ted from the United States in 18S0, was $597., 119 ; in 1835, $1,217,C65 ; in 1840, $1,043,516; in 1845, $1,053,293 ; iu 1S50, $4,652,804. Tho export increases more rapidly than the produc tion. The export of corn quadrupled between J840and 1S50, while the production did not quite double. The great amount of invention bestowed on corn planters, corn cutters, shelters, eob grind ers, etc., tends each year to promote the im crease of production. It has been estimate's that, as a general rule, seven pouuds of corn will produce one pound of pork ; so that in lo calities where through distance from market or from transportation facilities, the cereal caa not be raised at a profit for sale, it is frequently the material used in fattening the more concen trated form of diet, and on which, consequent ly, the freight is less. Cob meal we believe, ia most valuable for animals that chew the cud ; horses and hogs, as a general thing, deriving less benefit from the cob-grinding inventions. With all animals, however, we believe, there Is a preccptiblc advantage realized by mixing the cob with the denser meal. Scientific. Imtr Origin of the Nlshaknock or Merceh Po tato. The annexed interesting information was contributed to the Prairie Farmer, by B. Buchanan, of Cincinnati ; It is a seedling of Western Pennsylvania from the banks of the Neshannock creek, Mer cer county hence its name. I am a native of Western Pennsylvania, and have been familiar with this potato since my boyhood. It was first made known about fifty years ago, and was so highly valued that many persons took it over the mountains in their saddlebags, for seed. It is that way it was introduced into tho neighborhood of Pittsburgh, by the late Wm. Anderson, who took it from the farm where it originated. In the year 1792, a settlement was made on the waters of the Shcnango and Ma honing, principally by Scotch and Irish. Tho soil and climate were favorable to the growth of potatoes, and those from that region soon became eelebtated especially the new seed lings of the Neshannock. . A Great Natiosai Craiosmr. An Abing don, Virginia, paper says there is a natural bridge within 52 miles of that place, in Scott county, Virginia, compared with which tho bridge over Cedar Creek is a mere cirenm stance. The Scott bridge extends across a chasm more than twice 80 feet in width, and ia 420 feet deep, at the bottom of which flows a much larger and more rapid stream than Ce dar Creek, but it is not less a bridge, with a broad wagon road located npon it. The sur-t vey for the Cumberland Gap Railroad passed through the arch of this bridge. It is, per haps, the wildest and most stupendous curios-, ity in the United States, and yet is compara tively unknown. ...... .
