NEW ENGLAND FARMER 



APRIL 9, 1S34. 



MISCELLANY 



The following was sent to us, together with the vegetable 

 production composing its theme. The poetry indicates, that 

 a " Mammoth Gourd" which figures therein was uol a creeper, 

 but a climber, and we take it will obtain as much celebrity as il 

 it were hung to the honis of the Moon — or more poetically, 

 were pendeni.froni the Indispensable of the Goddess Diana. 



Friend Fessenden! This mammoth Gourd 

 Is not a fruit to grace your Board ; 

 Nor do I think 'twas ever meant 

 A sauce for meat or condiment ; 

 Nor was it part of my design 

 To form a Goblet for your Wine, 

 Or 1 had sent you-ten at least 

 For closing bumpers nt a feast. 

 Mv Neighbors send you mammoth fruit, 

 I had a wish to follow suit ; 

 A Calabash of such a size 

 I hope and trust you 'II not despise} 

 I only fear 'twill puzzle you 

 To know what use 1o put it to. 

 FalstafJ alive — Ins lips would smack 

 At such a Goblet full of sack ; 

 Nor Hal object to have its male, 

 Nor either think the size loo great. 

 I have on hand at least a score, 

 Which I shall use as heretofore ; 

 Shall save the seed lo feed my Hens, 

 And mount the shells for breeding Wrens. 



Your friend, ANONYMOUS. 



SATIRE'S WARDROBE. 

 Damp. Nature has but few changes of dress, 

 but in these she makes her appearance at times so 

 unexpectedly and so tastefully as often to surprise 

 us into delight; but yesterday she was "clad in 

 sober grey," to-day she appears rolled in virgin 

 white, and not only has she decked her hills and 

 valleys in this romantic attire, lint even the crested 

 trees and shrubs sparkle with her diamond frost- 

 work. What the fickle lady means by this display 

 we cannul divine, unless there is to he a marriage 

 betw.-en lie' seasons, Mr. Winter and Miss Spring, 

 anil this is her wedding garb. — Of late years this 

 couple hive been much together, and we strongly 

 suspect such an union has been contemplated ; but 

 we protest against (lie banns, and hope they will 

 remain asunder. — Bangor Courier. 



From the Art of Money Getting. 

 ECONOMY OP TIME. 



A man in business of any description, ought to 

 consider his time as \ Inutile as his money. 



We have heard something like the following 

 anecdote, which is a capital example of a judicious 

 course by men of professional, mercantile, or me- 

 chanical I msiiiess. 



A physician of my acquaintance called on a 



brother of the orofession, living in street. In 



the ci urse of conversation, he inquired, "How is 

 it, doctor ; the world says you are growing rich, 



and 'accumulating hey I all account? How do 



von do n ? Whit is your secret ? For my part, 

 with all possjble management, and a practice as 

 yon know by our occasi mally comparing notes 

 fully equal to yours, I find that I can do little 

 more tl. M make m^v receipts adequate to my nnl- 

 goim 5. 



"Step into the entrance hall with me, and 1 

 will explain the matter," was the answer. 



Tli i adjourned to the plaVe, where the doctor 

 shosv al his friend the whole secret. It was his 



Init and gloves lying on a table, opposite the street 

 door. 



" I understand yon," said the medical friend, 

 laughing and wishing him a good morning. 



The reader, perhaps, would like an explanation. 

 The moment a rap was heard, the first object that 

 presented itself on opening the door was the doc- 

 tor, with his hat put carelessly on, his cane under 

 his arm, and drawing on his gloves. 



" We are come to dine and take a bottle of port 

 with you," was sometimes the salutation. 



"Nothing could be more unlucky," replied the 

 wary econo.mist of time, "I have not yet seen hall 

 my patients, and atn this moment sent for to a 

 great consultation on a bad liver case, which will 

 require considerable time and attention. Gteat as 

 is the disappointment, business must be minded. 

 Let me have the pleasure of your company another 

 day." 



With these words he moved forwards, and wish- 

 ed them a good morning. A repetition of almost 

 the same story to every visiter at that hour, soon 

 cleared his house of dinner company. He accu- 

 mulated a handsome fortune, collected scarce 

 hooks, anil erected a handsome seat in the country. 



WOMAN. 



To the honor, to the eternal honor of the sex, 

 he it said, that in the path of duty, no sacrifice is 

 with them too high or too dear. Nothing is with 

 them impossible, hut to shrink from what love, 

 honor, innocence, religion requires. 



The voice of pleasure or power may pass by un- 

 heeded, but the voice of affliction never. The 

 chamber of the sick, the pillow of the dying, the 

 vigils of the dead, the altars of religion, never fail 

 to excite the sympathies of woman. Timid though 

 she be, and so delicate that the winds of heaven 

 may not too roughly visit her, yet she fears no 

 danger, and dreads no consequences. Then she 

 displays that undaunted spirit which neither courts 

 difficulties nor evades them ; that resignation which 

 utters neither murmurs nor regret, and the pa- 

 tience in suffering, which seems victorious even 

 over death itself. — Judge Story.
