NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



[March 25, 



IWisrrllanirs. 



From the MassachnseKs Yeoman. 

 ODE TO PERU. 



Land of the Incas f thou art free, 



Clime of the sun''s bright daughters, 

 The long;, loud shout of victory 



Is swelling o'er thy waters ; 

 That waking voice, that trumpet tone, 

 From off the Andes' tops has gone. 

 And all their echoes bear along 

 The glad, exulting, choral song. 



O, thou wast beautiful, thy hills 



In sunny light were sleeping:. 



And on thy mountains silver rills 



From rock to rock were leaping ; 

 Thy splendid temples lifted high 

 Their golden domes within the sky, 

 And happy girls, with braided hair. 

 And snowy veils, were kneeling there. 



O, thou wast lovely, ere the arm 

 Of rude aggression found thee. 

 And spoilers tore away each charm 



Of loveliness that crown'd thee. 

 But when the lawless bandit ramc. 

 With olive branch and friendship's name. 

 He smil'd as Treason oft has smil'd, 

 Then slew the victim he begnird. 



With death his way the Spaniard pav'J, 



For gold and carnage crying, 

 And, where his bloody banner wav'd. 



Thy peaceful sonf were dying. 

 His conquering arm has fail'd at len?-'li, 

 And tbiue is bar'd in youthful strength ; 

 His wet, red flag is furl'd and torn. 

 While thine aloft is proudly borne. 



Land of the Incas I thou art free. 



The rod that gali'd thee, broken, 

 That spirit, chainiess as the sea. 



The tyrant's doom has spoken ; 

 Our southern Sisters' Wasliington 

 For thee a glorious meed has won, 

 And Fame is bearing fast and far, 

 The deeds and name of Bolivar. 



Land of the Incas ! thou art free, 



The storm of war is sleepintr. 

 And Peace and .Toy their jubilee 



Upon thy hills are keeping. 

 The song of love shall softly fall. 

 Instead of battle's bugle call. 

 And Mercy's bright and gentle ray 

 Wash Murder's guilty stain away. 



mind, an equable temper, a moral and religiauf 

 character, affectionate disposition, domestick 

 habit=, and of the greatest respectability." After 

 this, a reijular correspondence took place, and it 

 was settled that the gentleman should come to 

 Bridgewater; on Saturday last he arrived at the 

 Globe Inn, where he engaged a couple of private 

 rooms for a fortnight, and was waited on by the 

 young gentleman, as a particular friend of Miss 

 Upland's, and deputed by her to visit him. On 

 Sunday they walked to church together, and 

 the evening was appointed for an interview 

 with the lady, but before the time arrived, two 

 gentlemn who happened to be at the Globe, 

 heard of the circumstance, discovered the hoax, 

 and raised a compiete laugh against the unfortun- 

 ate surgeon, who vowed vengeance on the youth, 

 and addressed him a letter, complaining of his 

 unfeeling and unmanly conduct, saying tiiat he 

 was determined to proceed against him tor a 

 forgery, and demanding satisfaction ; but before 

 a reply could be sent, the Sociable coach con- 

 veyed him from the spot, the rernfmbrance of 

 which will, no doubt, forever wring the tortured 

 heart of so ardent and disinterested a lover! 

 It is to be hoped that this will be a lesson to 

 him for the future, aiul teach him that the lailies 

 of Somersetshire are not so prodigal of tlieir 

 fortunes and personal attractions as to be duped 

 by the schemes of a speculating Cockney. 



[English paper. 



A .Matrimonial Hoax. — An advertisement ap 

 poared a few weeks since, in one of the London 



Anecdote of Dr. Franklin. — A gentleman who 

 had visited Mr. Jefferson many years since wrote 

 thus to his correspondent : — "I wish 1 had time 

 to detail to you all the topics of conversation, 

 but 1 must not omit an anecdote he told me of 

 Dr. Franklin. Mr. Jefferson and the Doctor 

 were some time together in Paris. They dined 

 lone dav, with a large parly consisting of many 

 Idistingliished characters of France and several 

 Americans. The Abbe Raynal and Dr. Frank- 

 lin, the two celebrated philosophers, had much 

 conversation : among other things the Abbe oh- 

 1 served, that in America all animals degenerated ; 

 ■ and he made many learned and profound obser- 

 ' vation«, especially to show this effect of the cli- 

 mate on the people, although so recently froin 

 a European 3tock. The Doctor listened with 

 his usual patience and attention, and after the 

 Abbe had linished, pleasantly remarked, that 

 when a difference of opinion existed it was the 



BELLFO UJVDER, 



The Wonderful Norfolk Trotter, imported July 1820, 



from England, 



WILL STAND THIS SEASON, 1825, 



At Twenty Dollars, and One Dollar the Groom. Tlie 



money to be paid to the Groom at Covering. 



THIS celebrated Horse is a bright bay, with black 

 legs, standing 15 binds high ; his superior blood, 

 symmetry and action excel,those of every other trotting 

 Stallion. He is allowed by the best Judges in Norfolk 

 to be the fastest and best bred Horse ever sent out of 

 that County. He has proved himself a sure foal getter, 

 and his Stock for size and substance are not to be sur- 

 passed ; they are selling at the highest prices of any 

 Horses in Norfolk. 



BELLFOUNDER was got by that well known, fast 

 and high formed Trotter, Old Bellfoukdeh, out of 

 Velocity, which trotted on the Norwich road, in 1806, 

 Sixteen JYlUts in one hour, and though she bioke fifteen 

 times into a gallop, and as often turned round, won her 

 match. In 1808 she trotted Tvenly eight mdes in one 

 hour and forty seven mfnutes, and has also done many 

 other great performances against time. 



UEl-LFOUNDER, at five years old, trotted Two 

 miles in six minutes, and in the following year was 

 matched for '200 guineas, to trot .Vine nules in thirty 

 minutes, and he won eajily by thirty two seconds. His 

 owner sliortly after c7ta/(fH»e'i to perform with him Sev- 

 entcin miles and a half in one hour, but it v:as not ae- 

 cr/ited. Hn has since never been saddled or matched. 



Old BE!.LFocKrK!V was u true descendant from the. 

 original Hood of the Firean-nys, which breed of Horses 

 stand unrivalled, either in this or any other nation. 



UELLFOUNDF.R is strongly recommended to lb 

 public by the sub!cribtT, as combining more usefnl 

 properties than any other Horse in Aaierica, and will 

 stand, during the season, at his stable in Charlestovni, 

 where all inquiries, post paid, will be attended to. 



Beli.i'oukder's foals thus far have proved fully 

 satisfactory, showing extraordinary action. •

 happened that all the Americans present were

 which he liad the candor to acknowledge on the
