MISCELLANY. 



VOICE PROM THE IVIKE PRESS. 



BY MISS H. F. GOULD. 



•TwAS for this they reared the vine, 



Fostered every loaf and shoot, 

 Loved to see its tendrils twine, 



And cherislied it from branch and root I 

 'Twas for this, that from the blast 



It was screened and taught to run, 

 Tliat its fruit might ripen fast, 



O'er the trellis to the sun. 



Aiid for this they rudely tore 



Every cluster from the stem; 

 'Twas to crush us till we pour 



Out our very blood for ihem. 

 Well though we are tortured thus, 



Still our essence shall endure. 

 Vengeance they shall find with us. 



May be slow, but will be sure. 



And the longer we are pent 



From the air and cheering light, 

 Greater, when they give us vent, 



For our rest shall be our might. 

 And our spirits, they shall see, 



Can assume a thousand shapes j 

 These are words of verity, 



Uttered by the dying grapes. 



Many a stately form shall reel. 



When our power is felt within ^ 

 Many a foolish tongue reveal 



What llie recent draught has been : 

 Matiy a thoughtless yielding youth, 



With his promise all in bloom. 

 Go, from paths of peace and truth. 



To an early shameful tomb. 



We the purse will 6ft unclasp, 



All its golden treasure take. 

 And, the husband in our grasp. 



Leave the wife with heart to break. 

 While his babes are pinched with cold, 



We will bind him to the bowl, 

 Till his features we behold 



Glowing like a living coal. 



We will bid the gownman put 



To his lip a glass or two, 

 Then we'll stab him in the foot, 



Till it oversteps the shoe, 

 And we'll swell the Doctor's bill, 



While he parries us in vain ; 

 He may cure, but we may kill 

 Till our thousands we have slain. 



Wlien we've drowned their peace and health, 



Strength and hopes within the bowl. 

 More we'll ask than life or wealth. 



We'll require the very soul ! 

 Ye who from our blood are free. 



Take the charge we give you now, 

 Taste not, till ye wait and see 



If the grapes forget their vow. 



SAYINGS FOR FARMERS. 



BY DR. FRANKLIN. 



1. Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor 

 vears, whilst the used key is always bright. 



2. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander 

 ^me, for that is the stiiiflife is made of. 



L 3. The sleeping fox catches no poultry. 



\4^. He that riseth late must trot all day and 



'1 scarce overtake ids business at night. 



5. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man 



llthy, and wealthy, and wise. 



6. He that lives upon hope will die faintinj; — 

 industry need not wish. 



7. There are no gains without pains. 



8. At the working man's house hunger looks in, 

 but never enters. 



9. Plough deep while the sluggards slcc]), and 

 you shall have corn to sell or keep. 



10. One to-day is worth two to-morroivs. 



11. Handle your tools without mittens — a cat 

 in gloves catclies no mice. 



12. He that by the plough would thrive, 

 Himself must either hold or drive. 



13. The eye of a master will do more work than 

 both his hands. Not to oversee workmen is to 

 leave them your purse open. 



14. A little neglect may breed a great mischief 

 — for want of a nail the shoe was lost — for want 

 ofa shoe the horse was lost, and for want of a 

 horse the rider was lost. 



15. A fat kitchen makes a lean will. 



16. If you would be rich think of saving as 

 well as getting. 



17. What maintains one vice would train up 

 two children. 



18. Beware of little expenses — a small leak will 

 sink a great ship. 



19. if you would know the want of money, go 

 and try to borrow some — for he that goes a bor- 

 rowing goes sorrowing. 



20. Pride is as loud a beggar as want and a 

 great deal more saucy. 



21. Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with 

 poverty, and supped with infamy. 



22. Lying rides on debt's back. 



23. It is hard for an empty bag to stand up- 

 right. 



24. Creditors have better memories than deb- 

 tors. 



25. For age and want save what you may, 

 No morning's sun lasts the whole day. 



20. llather go to bed supperless than rise hi 

 debt. 



27. If you do not hear reason, she will surely 

 rap your knuckles. 



28. He that luith a trade hath an estate; and he 

 that hath a calling hath a place of profit and honor. 

 A ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentle- 

 man on his knees. 



EELS. 



Some of the editorial wags of the Literary Em- 

 porium are disposed to ))oke fun at the late law 

 "to preserve the Eel Fishery" in our vicinity. 

 These city-fed gentlemen never knew the luxury 

 ofa smoked bloater, or of that surpassingly savory 

 dish, and nutritious, ordinary yclept Eel Chowder 

 — in comparison of which, the richest turtle soup 

 ever purled through an Alderman's oesophagus is 

 rank dish-water. They know not the impositions 

 to which this fishery has been subjected — they 

 know not that the dark and mucilaginous beds 

 whither these luscious reptiles are prone to resort, 

 in order to fatten themselves for the stomachs ol 

 omnivorous man, have been prematurely and un- 

 seasonably explored and disturbed by the murder- 

 ous prongs of continental adventurers — that the 

 poor starved wrigglers have been dragged from 

 their comfortable recesses by thousands, uncere- 

 moniously flayed, thrown into a detestable pickle, 

 barrelled up, and shipped off to the West Indies 

 on speculation, by those marauders from Cape 

 Cod and all along shore. 



Was it not high time, then, that we should de- 



mand the State's protection — we, who were suffer- • 

 ing from this grievance to an extent that can only 

 be realized by the gourmand, when he desjiairing- 

 ly sees his neiglibor at a turtle feast, grasp at, ap- 

 propriate to himself, and incontinently gobble every 

 particle of the favorite and grudged callipce or 

 calliptish ? 



But, if the wits of the Boston press can find 

 profitalile exercise, and pleasant, upon a subject 

 so slippery, it aflbrds us high gratilicaiion, ibough 

 partly done at our expense : 



" Eels might be proiul to lose their coats. 

 If skinned by Molly Dumpling's band."
