NEW ENGLAND FAR3IER, 



JULY 3, 1833. 



MISCELLANY. 



For the Ntiv England Farimr. 

 POWER OP CAI.OKIC. 



Earth, Sea and Air, nbound in rare 



Minute Caloric Particles, 

 Invisible indeed, but still 



Most energetic articles. 



Almighty Power each atom gave 



Existence at creation ; 

 Each would Omnipotence require 



For its annihilation. 



Now lying in a latent state, 



Anon in ardent action j 

 And He alone, who can create 



Can bring to nought a fraction. 



Chief agents in all acts of power. 



Those atoms seem divinities. 

 Tempests, volcanoes, earthquakes are 



Mere plays of their affinities ! 



'Tis their's to urge the lightning's car. 



To speed the shaft of thunder, — 

 Give earth an atmosphere of fire. 



And reud the globe asunder! 



THE LAST SCEKE IN A LONG COURTSHIP. 



BY A PLAIN MAN. 



Scene — A room, curtains dratvn. .iyoimg gen- 

 tleman and lady in close conversation. 



JVatchnan in the street : " Twelve o'clock and 

 .ill's well." 



Gentleman. Ha ! so late ? it is time for me to 

 return home. 



Lady. Don't go so soon ; you have not yet fixed 

 the day when our hands shall be united, for our 

 hearts have long beat in unison — I trust. 



Gent. You know that I hold it best never to 

 do any thing blindfolded, but with both eyes open ; 

 and perhaps when you have heard what I have to 

 say, you may alter your opmion ; but I will be 

 frank. 



Lady. I wish you to be so, sir, of course: let's 

 hear. My itiind will not ch.ingc. 



Gent. x\s you have said nothing about future 

 prospects, I will ; we are neither of us possessed 

 of wealth, but, with rigid economy and persever- 

 ing industry, on the part of each, we shall, I 

 doubt not, be able not only to live comfortably, but 

 to lay by a competence of this world's goods, that 

 we may not want in time of old age, or adverse 

 circumstances ; and perhaps w^ealth may be ours : 

 but I will not paint too fair a picture. What say 

 you to this ? 



Lady. You surprise me, sir! What, expect 

 me to labor with my hands, after I'm married ? 



Gent. Why not ? Otir grandmother Eve help- 

 ed to dress the garden, and Solomon shows, in 

 his character of a good woman, one whose hands 

 labored at the distaff, and her feet moved in her 

 own house. You would, I conclude, from what 

 you say, like to see a new married couple agree as 

 well as a gentleman said his matched cattle did, 

 viz: — One was willing to draw the whole load, and 

 the other wus perfectly willing that he should. 



Lady. My opinion is, and it is like that of 

 most other young ladies, that no man ought to mar- 

 ry a young lady unless he can support her ; and 

 for my own part, I think that I have done work 

 enough, and ought to live more at ease in time to 

 come : so if you expect me to work after I have 

 become yours, we had better remain as we are. 

 Gent. I think so too, and also perceive that 



wliat I thought probable, and you impossible, has 

 taken place — a change in yoin- feelings. I must 

 bid you good-bye. [Takes his leave — she lights 

 him to the door.] 



Gent, [solus, as he walks home.] Pretty much 

 as I expected. "Caution is the parent of safety," 

 Better know thetruth now than when to late. " I 

 am off," as the fly said. — Rochester Gem. 



CHIVALRY. 



We were partictdarly struck with the beauty of 

 the following trait of a French officer, as related by 

 Sir. Rush : — " Sir Felton Harvey, aid-de-camp of 

 the Duke of Wellington, had lost an arm in battle. 

 Whilst one of the battles in Spain was raging, the 

 Duke gave him an order, to convey to another 

 part of the field. Half across it, a French of- 

 ficer was seen galloping towards him. Sir Fel- 

 ton's sword hung by his side, though he could 

 not wield it ; it was his right arm he had lost, 

 and the other held the bridle ; but he faced 

 the foe, looking defiance. As they swiftly drew 

 near, the Frenchman raised himself in his stirrups, 

 his sword uplifted. Discovering, at the very mo- 

 ment for the stroke, his adversary to be defence- 

 less, he brings down his weapon in the form of a 

 complimentary salute, and rapidly passes on. He 

 gave his salute in silence." This was true chivalry. 



ANECDOTE. 



" A Friend in need, is a friend indeed.''^ — The 

 late Dr. Hunter of Edinburgh, Professor of Divin- 

 ity was solicited by a Rev. Doctor, deep in the 

 moderate interest of the church, for his support 

 in a question which was coming before the As- 

 sembly. The Professor replied, "Why, Doctor 

 B de, I will undoubtedly support you, if af- 

 ter I have heard the cause plead, I find you in the 

 right." To this the applicant replied, " Right, 

 Doctor — right ! D'ye really think I would have 



travelled seventy-two miles from D lies to seek 



your support of the right ? It's because I'm iu the 

 wrong, that I ask your vote as a favor."

Mutton and no mutton. It is odd enough that a 

 sheep when dead should turn into mutton, all but 

 its head ^ for while we ask for a leg or shoulder of 

 mutton, we never ask for a mutton's head, but there 

 is a fruit which changes its name still oftener ; 

 grapes are so called while fresh, raisins when dried, 

 and plums when in a pudding. 



Metaphor. A AVaterford paper lately announc- 

 ed to the bacon merchants of that city, that 

 " Dead pigs were looking up!"
