NEW ENGLAND FARMER.

iWfscrllantrs. 



THE SPORTSMAN. 

 An Irishman came to the state of Vermont, 

 And wrought as a clothier as he had been wont. 

 The squirrels would often come near tp the mill 

 Where the cloth they were dressing 'neath the side of 



the hill. 

 Paddy's comrades a large heavy musket had got, 

 They knew how to use it, but Paddy did not, 

 He often had seen from a limb or the top 

 Of a tree when they fired, a squirrel did drop. 

 He begg'd for the gun that his skill he might try — 

 The gun was soon charg'd and charg'd very high. 

 At a squirrel he flr'd near the foot of the tree — 

 The squirrel ran up, crying ' cAee, chee, cftee,' 

 While he by the gun was kick'd heels overhead 

 And thought for a'moment he surely was dead. 

 But hearing and seeing the squirrel, he found 

 He was not, so he bawl'd as he lay on the ground, 

 ' Mr Squirrel, you neither could chee chee, nor run. 

 Had you been, like myself, al Ihts end of the gun."

Misanthrope — One who is uncharitable enough 

 to judge ot" others hy himself. 



Monastery — A house of ill fame, where men 

 and women are seduced from their public duties 

 and generally f.ill into guilt from attempting to 

 preserve an unnatural innocence. 



Mouth — A useless instrument to some people 

 — in as far as it renders ideas audible, but of 

 special service for rendering victuals invisible. 

 _, Muzzle — A contrivance to prevent barking or 

 biting, put upon the monlhs of dogs in'England, 

 and upon those of human beings in the dominions 

 of the Holy Alliance. 



J^'egro—A creature treated as a brute, because 

 he is black, by greater brutes, who happen to be 

 white. 



Novcmher — The period at which every Eng- 

 lishman takes leave of the sun for nine months, 

 and not a few of them forever. 



Review — A work that overlooks the publica- 

 tions it professes to look over, and judges of 

 bonks by their authors, not of authors by thsir 

 books. 



Ring— A circular link put through the snouts 

 ofswine and upon the fingers of women, to hold 

 9hem both in subjection. 



Royalty — Solitary imprisonment in a crowded 

 <;ourt — selling yourself for a crown, and subject-

 slave your subjects.

Mortality in France. — Dr Villermo, of the 

 French Acadc-my of Sciences, states tliat the 

 present mortality in France is one to 39 ; before 

 the revolution it was one in 29. Dr V. has as- 

 certained by a great number of observations 

 that the mortality is much greater among the 

 poor than among the rich, and he attrilmtes this 

 ditlVrence to the "crowded, damp and unhealthy 

 rooms of the j;oor, where they are <!eprive<l of 

 light and air, and exposed to perpetual labor 



and incessant anxiety, till they give themselves 

 up to excesses, seeking a distraction from their 

 miseries." 



Veneering in a Lathe. — This is practised ex- 

 tensively abroad, but we believe is unknown in 

 our country. The piece of wood it steamed 

 after being turned into a cylinder, then the ve- 

 neer is turnad otT in one continuous sheet, or 

 shaving. I have seen it in rolls of ten, fifteen, 

 and even twenty feet in length, and from one to 

 two feet broad, of rose wood, and mahogany and 

 satin wood. 



Giving Credit. — Avoid giving long Credit even 

 to your best customers. A man who can pay 

 easily will not thank you for the delay, and a 

 slack or dnubttul paymaster is not so valuable a 

 customer that you need care about losmg him. 

 When you lose a bad paymaster from your books 

 you only lose the chance of losing your money.

 THIS celebrated horse was purchased of the Earl 

 of Warwick, in March last, by Mr Charles Williams, of 

 Boston, at present residing in l^ondon. He is a benu- 

 tiful bay with black legs, and not a white hair, stands 

 l.'j hands 2 or 3 inches, and is the best bred and most 

 powerful blood horse ever sent to this country. He 

 has great bone, fine action, and excellent temper, and 

 has proved himself one of the fleetest and most power- 

 ful horses in England. For walking, trotting, and rac- 

 ing, he is unrivalled. He won at Marpeth, beating 

 Young Windall, Cottage Girl, Fannus, Young Glen- 

 dall and four others ; and, two days after, again beat 

 Young Glendall, Shepherd, and a Bucephalus filly. — 

 At Carlisle, he beat Jack Tar and Mnnito ; and at Mid- 

 dleham, he won a sweep=;take against Antonio, Rosa- 

 ry, LighlnIng,Liltle Thomas, and Carfacaratadaddera. 

 At New Castle, he won the King's plate, 4 miles, beat- 

 ing Awful, Boroughrnan, and Lightning; and at York, 

 won a match against Pacha. Again at Middleham he 

 won a sweepstake, beating Shylock and Trim. At 

 Beverly he won the gold cup, beating the Fyldcmar 

 filly, Phoanix, and Ethelinda. 



ROMAN was bred by Mr Riddell. He was got by 

 CamiUua (the best blood in F.ngland.) the son of 

 Hambletonian, who, in MIQ, won 100,000/. at New- 

 market, in the great match agamst Diamond. King 

 Fergus, the sire of Hamldetonlan. was the son of 

 Eclipse, for whom. his owner, O'Kelly, refused 16,000/. 

 Through his dam, Leon Fofte, he (Pioman)is descended 

 from Tambarine — Crane by Highflyer, who never paid 

 forfeit, and was never beaten, and from Regulus, the 

 Gndolphjn, and Childers. His pedigree has been trac- 

 ed in the etud-book of the Clerk of the Newmarket 

 course thr-ongli v^jghl generations of the highest bred 

 horses and mares in England, without a single cross of 

 inferiour bloo.I. Extract from the stnd-book ; —
