"Miscellaneous. : _ The Agriculture of Palestine. Le _ In no part of the civilized world where a _ productive soil abounds, is the condition of agriculture at a lower ebb than in the coun- _ try about Jerusalem. The city is largely in- _habited by Jews, many of whom are the pen- _sioners of their brethren in all the rest of the world. They are miserably poor, indolent, and without employment. The country round about is in the hands of the Arabs, who hate the Christians. much and the Jews more.' The Arabs are the worst farmers in. the world. Their implements of husbandry -aresorude and primitive that a sample of __ them would even surprise a cotton planter of ' South Carolina. One a ae "Ti is supposed by many that the lands of 'Palestine are generally of the poorest charac- ter for the purposes of a husbandman. No- thing could be further from the truth. The country possesses a great diversity of climate, owing to the variation in elevation. The Valley of the Jordon, at the level of the Dead Sea, is 1,312 feet below the Mediter- ranean, while the. Mountain of Lebanon rises above the line of perpetual snow, which 1s 9,300 feet above the level of the sea, so that here is perpetnal winter, while the Valley of _ the Jordon is a perpetual tropical climate, and between these variations of altitude there are all the varieties of productions of the temperate zones. The soil is generally a _ calcareous, light-colored loam in the interior, particularly near Jerusalem, and near the sea _ shore it is of a dark red loam, and on the _ plains of Sharon very productive, yielding three crops a year of such things as will ripen within that space. The soil produces good wheat, corn, oats, and potatoes, &c., about equal to the average crops of Con- necticut. Cotton has been produced here in quality and product per acre equal to the best upland plantations in this country. - _» Fruit of various kinds grow to great per- fection. The grapes in particular are very. ~ superior, while peaches, pomegranates, apri- b ye cots, plumbs, olives, figs, oranges, and melons -are richand abundant. Altogether, the climate and soil, and the - productions, make it a most desirable country for a residence. 'The rich lands near Jaffa can. be bought for a sum about equal to six or eight dollars the English acre. _ 'To all this there is a drawback, which has heretofore deterred settlers from seeking a _ home there, who know how to appreciate and cultivate such a soil and make its pro- -. ductions profitable and homes in such a cli- mate pleasant and beautiful. The country is in the possession of Arabs, who, in point of civilization, are but a small remove above the wild Indians of this continent. From time to time missionary efforts have been made in Palestine, both by English and _ Americans, with one universal degree of suc- - cess--that was, to make no converts, but _ embitter the bigots against those who were _ trying to tell them of a better religion than 'theirown. : _ Two years ago, an effort was made in a new line, to ameliorate the condition of the - inhabitants of Palestine. Seven Americans, | with improved ploughs and other tools, and __ American seeds, located upon a piece of land seven miles from Jerusalem, one mile from Bethlehem, and made preparations for - farming after the American system. Their location was in the valley of Artos, __upon the site of one of the very gardens of POON MENA).

This did' ot suit their plans, and they took up their lence upon the land, and commenced - operations, ploughing deep with one of our ___ best ploughs, harrowing with an iron-toothed harrow,such as was never seen here before, |) and. planting 'corn, potatoes, beans, peas, oats, barley, wheat, and all sorts of garden vegetables ; in short, making a perfect Ame- These operations, instead of exciting the jealousy of the Arabs, aroused them to a state of surprise, and the news of what the Americans at Solomon's garden were doing, _ and what wonderful tools they were using, and how eaceable and quiet they were, anything about their religion, flew on the wings of the wind, and visitors _ came to view and wonder, from far and near. The operations of the carpenter and black- smith were not among the least sources of wonder. The rapid manner in which he __ heated his iron, and. hammered it into just _ such shape as he desired, was beyond the _ comprehension of these simple-minded people. One day the farm received a_ visit from _ twenty-five Sheiks, who inspected the tools and the way they were used, and the effect | __ produced, and looked at the growing crops, so much beyond anything they had ever seen _ produced before, and then turned their heads together, to consult upon the wonders they oh d.

The Jews, too, began to think it would be better for and they began to apply for situations as laborers notwithstanding the priests always taught them it was derogatory to the national character of the Hebrews to till the soil.

How to Exclude Flies from Rooms. Flies are beginning to be troublesome. may effectually be excluded from a room in which the windows are leit wide open for a free circulation of air, by suspending a net of light-colored thread to the outside of the win- dow, and although every mesh is large enough, not only for one fly, but several flies with ex- panded wings to pass through at the same moment, yet, for some inexplicable dread of venturing across the mesh net, these insects are effectually excluded. It is necessary to state that in order for this plan to succeed, it is necessary that the light enter the room on one side only, for if there be an opposite or side window the flies pass through the net without scrupple.--Albany Atlas.

Tue Mysteries or Cooxery.--lt is said that some of the great cooks of ancient Greece carried their art to such perfection, that they were able to serve up a whole pig, boiled on one side and roasted on the other, and stuffed besides, though without a visible mark of the knife upon it. The inventor of this feat was cruel enough 'to keep the pro- cess secret fora whole year, At length it was revealed that he had bled the animal to death by a very small. wound under. the shoulder, by which he: had also extracted the entrails piecemeal ; that he had forced the stuffing down the throat; and that, by means of barley-paste, he had prevented the roasting on one side, having boiled it, after- wards..

CALL FOR NATIONAL EMIGRATION CONVENTION OF COLORED MEN, To be held in. Cleveland, Ohio, on the 24th, 25th awd 2th of August, 1854. Men anp Bretoren :--The time has now fully come, when we, as an oppressed people, should do something effectively, aud' usé these means adequate to the attainment of the great and long desired end--to do something to meet the actual demands of the present and prospective necessi- lies of the rising generation of our people in this country. 'To do this, we must occupy a position of entire equalily, of unrestricted rights, coinposing in fact, an acknowledged necessary part of the ruling element of society in which we live. The policy necessary to the preservation of this elemen must be a our favor, it ever we expect the enjoy- meut, freedom, sovereignty, and equality of rights anywhere. For this. purpose, and to this end, then, all colored men in favor of emigration out of the United States, aud opposed to the American Colonization sheme of leaving the Western Hemisphere, are requested to meet in CLEVE- LAND, OHIO, on TUESDAY, the 24th DAY of AUGUST, 1854, in a great NATIONAL CONVENTION, then and there, to consider and decide upon the great and important subject of emigration from the United States. No person will be admitted toa seat in the Convention, who would introduce the subject of emigration to the Hastern Hemisphere--either to Asia, Atrica, or Europe--as our object and de- termination is to consider our claims to the West Indies, Central and South America, andthe Canadas. This restriction has no reference tu personal preference, or individual enterprise; but io the great question of national claims to come betore the Convention. All persons coming to the Convention must bring credentials properly authenticated, or bring verbal assurance to the Committee on Creden- tials--appointed for the purpose--of their fidelity to the measures and objects set forth in this Call as the Convention is specifically by and for the friends of emigration, and NONE OTHERS-- and no Opposition to them will be entertained. 'The question is not whether our condition can be bettered by emigration, but whether it can be made worse. If not, then, there is no part of the wide-spread universe, where our social and. poli- tical condition are not better than here in our na- tive country, and nowhere in the world as here proscribed on account of color. We are triends, too, and ever will stand shoulder to shoulder by our brethren, and all our friends in all good measures adopied by them for the bettering of our condition in this country, and surrender no rights but with orr last breath ; but as the subject of emigration is of vital importance, and has ever been shunned by all delegated as- semblages: of our people as heretofore met, we' cannot longer' delay, and will not be further batted ; and deny the right of our most sanguine friend or dearest brother, to prevent an intelligent engniry to, and the carrying vutof these measures, when this can be done, to our entire advantage as we propose to show in Convention--as: the West Indies, Central and South America--the majority of which are peupled by vur brethren, or those identified with us in race, and what is moré, destiny, on this eontinent--all stand. with open arms and yearning hearts, importuning us in the name of suffering humanity to come--to make common cause, and share one common fate on the continent. : 'The Convention will-meet without fail, at the time fixed for assembling, as none but those fa- vulable to emigration are admissable ; theretore no other gathering may prevent it. The number of delegates will not be restricted--except in the town where the Convention may be held---and there the number will be decided by the Conven- tiog when assembled, that they may not too far ex- ceed the other delegations. -- The time and p.ace fixed for holding the Con- vention are ample ; affording sufficient time, and a leisure season generally--and as Cleveland is now the centre of all directions--a good and fa- vorable opportunity to all who desire to attend.-- Therefore, it may reasonably be the greatest gathering of the colored people ever before assem- bled in a Convention in the United States, Colonizationists are advised, that no favors will be shown to them or their expatriating scheme, as. we have no sympathy with the enemies of our race. All colored men, East, West, North and South, favorable to the measures set forth in this Call will send in their names (post-paid) to M. R Delany, or Rev. Wm.
