On Zion's mount, to Israil's God, two temples hare been placed, Mosque of Omar marks the spot to which they hare been traced, The first as suns in brightness stood, o'erlaid with burnisb'd gold, The last as Moon in crescent form, its worship quite as cold. The first was built by God's command, they shad owed forth his power; The second he permits to stand 'gainst the appoint- - ed hour, When Israel's God says : quick, return, I will make up your loss, See, by the Crescent J hare saved Palestine from the Cross. A Now come, my chosen ones, anl -Lriag witlr your from lands afar Their sciences in tine of peace, likewise the arts of war 1 For Cross and Crescent will unite, and earth and hell combine, But fear them not, go in my strength, the battle shall be mine. You shall be great and oreroome, and with your God shall stand. lie shall inhabit Zion's Mount and you the holy land ; His word go from Jerusalem, that all the world mast hear ; The law shall from Mount Zion go to Nations far and near. The law that said no God was formed but Israel's God sione, The word that said I Savior am, besides me there is none ; Not for your sakes hare I d.ne this but for my own great name, 1 cleanse you from unrighteousness and take away your suamo. Tis done, the Crescent now must fall its reign has j assed away , Go Israel take your heritage, there yon will own mr sway ; Build up your city there and pave its streets with shining gold ; My temple on Mount Zion place as prophets hare foretold. There in your holy place there shall be neither day or niht, My presence shall not be withdrawn but a perpet ualliht : The Nations all shall tribute pay to beautify the place, And all must then confess the power of Israel sar'd by grace. You now hall serve yourselves of them who long withheld your right, They yearly must their offerings bring or they shall fesl jour might; If Egypt shall refuse, on them the curse shall be co rain ; And Gentile nations far and near afflict with dif ferent pain. All this to show the earth is mine and you my chosen seed, I Canaan to your fathers gave, I now confirm the deed, For yet I lire, and still your God you in your hearts confess, To deol out kindness to your friends, and to your foes distress. Be warned now, ye Nations, all consistent with God's plan, Israel has her time served out, assist her to her land : That you may ia her blessings share the promise Uod has given.

FARHERSEPARn For the Advertiser. Fences No. 1. We see in your issue of JaD. 16, that you invite discussion or interchange of opinions, through the columns of the Advertiser, in regard to the different modes of fencing. Although we hare not been jn the hab it of writing for publication, we hope to be, in the few remarks we have to make, sufficiently plain to be understood by your readers. The subject of fencing is one of much importance in this .country, and more par ticularly is it so to the people of Nebras ka on account of the scarcity of timber for fencing purposes. And it ia not un til within a short period of time thai the majority of farmers have begun to real ize that the eupply of limber for this purpose will soon be exhausted, and when the fences that are now standing, decay and rot down, something- mu?t be sub stituted in their place. Hence, it is a question of importance which is best, a board or rail fence, or a hedge fence. All things considered it is generally con ceded that a hedge is the cheapest; on this there need be no question. A good fence, stock proof such an one as any farmer would wish to have on his farm cannot be made for a less a mount than 81, 50 per rod, (In this con nection, would say that a three rail fence so called, cannot be considered stock proof, for the reason that it is no protec tion whatever from hogs or sheep, which are part of a farmer's stock,) This fence, allowing it to be well made with the kind of lumber commonly used for the purpose, will need repairing, say, from the four;h year after its construction, un til it decays and rola down, say in four years more. I hen comes tne fame ex pense over again. That is: rebuilding, and repairing, which will be an annual drain on the resources of the farmer, a- side from losses of crops occasioned by cattle breaking them down, which is al ways a great annoyance, besides being often a cause of litigation, and ill will among farmers.' The same objection will be equally ap plicable tc worm rail fences, if not made with good oak, or other hard wood, which wiil make the difference more striking when the cost comes to be compared with the hedge. Now with a hedge fence, after it is stock proof, which will be the fourth year from planting if prop erly attended to, no such occurrence as breaking down or getting over by breachy stock, can ever happen, and the fanner can rest contented, being assured that no stock of any kind is going to molest his crops. And when the crop is out and the stock turned in, he knows where to find them, No occasiou for spending a week or two every f all hunting up his stray stock. And the first cost of this hedge is 75 cents per rod turned over to the owner stock proof. This being the price lhat has been charged by hedge contractors in this neighborhood, who are responsible men, and many miles hav ing already been planted at that price, the past season ; although we doubt much whether a good, permanent stock proof hedge can be made for a less amount than one dollar. And even at that price it leaves a balance in favor of hedging, over board fence of 50 cents per rod, which amount will be sufficient to pay for its annual trimming for eight cr leu years. Nothing adds more to the beauty of a prairie home ihaa a well kept hedge. There are several kinds of plants that have claims to some merit for hedging. Among which we may nama the Honey Locust, the Crab, Pyrus Rivularis. law thorn, Hornbeane and the Osage, the latter of which, however, is raoat gen erally used, as it takes longer time for the other named plants to make a stock proof hedge; all bein? naturally slow growers. But when made of either, it makes an efficient fence. Hedgiog is no mere an experiment in this county, it Laving been practically demonstrated. The best hedge we ha?e seen jn this county i the property of G. Crow, at Fairview. The Osage delights in a light, deep, rich, dry soil and a long dry Summer, it being a native of the Southern Stales, and found indigenous to Texas, Alabama, Mexico and Tennessee, au-d I believd in urtii pi ouef MUsouf'ti inJ now it has become acclimated to this co'intry; although we have instances of its tops being killed, caused from having made an over luxcrient growth. This, however, may be avoided by jedkious cultivation. On this we will have more to say hereafter. E. II. B. For the Advertiser. Tlie Clirton Farmer's Clnb. Clieto , Nemaha County, Neb. Mr. Editor: At your request I will endeavor to give you a brief account of the proceedings of the "Clifton Farm er's Club," which was organized about the 13th cf December, 1S67, and has been holding weekly meetings since up' to date. At our first meeting our attendance was quite slim, owing partly to sickness in the neighborhood, and partly to the fact . that Farmer's Clubs are something 'new under the sun," and the advan tages cf exchanging and comparing notes on so lowly and simple (?) a vocation as farming, are not generally appreciated. But as soon as ihe organization was com pleted, and its objects known, we tad the co-operation of the jvhole community. We have done away with most of the formalities cf similar Clubs, and make it a sociable and agreeable visit, inviting all regardless of age or sex. The success and object of the Club I will give in the future, if you still choose to allow me to occupy your valuable col umns. The subjects discussed were pertain ing to ihe cultivation of the apple, and other fruits, but as the attendance then was small, we shall resume this impor tant subject soon at the request of many anxious members, when I will report in full. Thi3 subject, I would say, Mr. Editor, is occupying the attention of this portion of the country, and we hope to see, at no far distant day, these rich rol ling Prairies redeemed free the-false stigma of fruiilesness.- At ihe last two meetings the Club has been occupied in completing its organi zation, by electing the following officers, Julius Gilbert, President; Benton Al drich.Vice Presideni;R. A. Hawley Sec retary, and Richard Cory&ll Treasurer. The Clubhas also selected grounds for a Rural Cemeiery, and organized an As sociation, for which R. A. Hawley, B. Al drich, and J. Gilbert were a committee authorized io procure grounds, &c. They also wish to form a joint school district; have appointed a committee to pres3 theii claims and petition the county superin tendent, &c. More anon. R. A. HAWLEY, Jan. 18, 1SC3. Secretary. 4 mm m Solomon's Temple Exhumed. The London Times publishes an inter esting letter in regard to the discoveries at Jerusalem, from which we select the following: 'The colossal foundations of the tem ple wall, which are 'stones of ten cubit3 and stones of eight cubits,' laid by Salo mon or his successors on the throne, are now beinz laid bare at the enormous depth of 90 feet and mere beneath the present surface. The bridge that once spanned ihe ravine between the palace of Zion and the itmple of Moria is now ptoved to have been upward 150 feet high. If this be as it seems, the ascent to the House of the Lord which Solomon showed to ihe Queen of Sheta, we cannot woDder lhat on seeing it there was no spirit in hefi The pinnacle of the tem ple on which the tempter placed the Savior has jutt been uncovered to the bas and is found still to have an elevation of 135 feet. The statement of Josephus therefore i3 no exaggeration. If any one looked fwm the battlements into the valley he would be giddy, while his sight could not reach to such an immense depth. Sections of the ancient wall of Ophel have been exhumed, showing that, as Josephus says, it was joined to the south east angle of the Temple. Aqueducts, cisterns, rock-hewn channels and passages have aUo been discovered within and arounJ the harem, throwing new light on ihe buildings, the arrangements and the services of the temple. The great work of a complete explora tion of ancient Jerusalem is thus fairly and auspiciously commenced. The oppor tune visit of the Sultan and granJ vizier to this country, and the representations made to ihe latter by the archbishop of York, followed up as they have been by the energy, ihe wisdom and tact of Lieut. Warren and his admirable staff, have smothed down Moslem prejudice, remov ed local opposition, and thus brought about opportunities for excavation and exploration such a3 nevor occurred before; and besides, large numbers cf Arab laborers have been trained to the wcrk-, and are eager to be employed; and ths exact points for successful expioralion are now well known.
