NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



From the New-York American. 



THE CLOUD. 

 In the blue heavens, far away, 

 On the breathless eve of a summer day, 

 Au Bmpty vapor floated by. 

 Whose changing beauty caught my eye ; 

 I turnM me from this world of care, 

 And fix'd my meditations there. 

 A\. first, methought it seem'd to be 

 An angel isle in the boundless sea, 

 Where fairy beings love to rove. 

 And look from fields of light above. 

 And laugh at the good, and pity the wo, 

 That varies this scene of earth below. 

 A minute it staid — when that was o'er. 

 The isle and angels were no more : 

 And fancy, in their place, could form 

 The rage of war and the battle's storm — 

 Chariots, and horses prancing high. 

 Now mark'd the scene, in the clear blue sky ; 

 And murdered wretches seemed to lay. 

 All bleeding and torn, in the battle's way ; 

 And dying victims seem'd to bleed 

 At the frighted spring of every steed. 

 But soon, as the vapor floated on, 

 The steeds and the warriors all were gone ; 

 And as they chang'd, in the vaulted sky 

 I saw a sleeping Giant lie. 

 His robes of white around were spread. 

 As he stretched at ease on his azure bed. 

 His arms were folded on his breast. 

 In all the pride of a Giant's rest. 

 And as the gentle sun-beam shone 

 His face and mighty limbs upon, 

 lie seem'd the form of some other sphere. 

 That had left its world, and wandered here. 

 But now the cloud began to rise, 

 \ntl mingle with more distant skiep, 

 And the form of the Giant grew so dim 

 My eye could scarcely follow him ; 

 Till softly — as he sleeping lay, 

 I saw his figure melt away- 



MISCELL.ANY. 



Bon Mot. — The Emperor Alexartfler, diirins; 

 the occii|),Ttion of Paris, was present at the iin- 

 niversiiry of one of the hospital?. Plates u-ere 

 handed round for contrihulions, and they were 

 borne hy some of the patron's wives and daiigli- 

 ters. The plate was held to the Emperor by 

 an extremely pretty girl. As he gave his Lou- 

 is d'ors, he whispered, " Mademoiselle, this is 

 for your bright eyes." The girl ciirtesied, and 

 presented the plate again, " What," said (he 

 Emperor, " more ?" "Yes, Sire," said she, " / 

 now -^^ant something fur the poor.^'' The Empe- 

 ror, amused by her ingenuity, repealed his do- 

 nation. "Go, go," said he, " all your Jeaf tires 

 are petitioners.'''' 



The eccentric Captain Cochrane, who had 

 undertaken tlie .arduous task of a pedestrian 

 tour through Russia and Siberia, for the pur- 

 pose of minutely exploring that inhospitable re- 

 gion, and also for ascertaining the disputed fact, 

 of the separation of the continents of Asi;i and 

 America, has, after two year's survev, decided 

 the question in the alTirmative, there beino- a 

 contmuous channel between the continents, 

 though frequently blocked with ice during ;. 

 great part of the winter. 



Strange Legal Facts. — To burn the house ofl 

 which the criminal is tenant at will, is capital, 

 but if he has a lease, it is only misdemeanor. — 

 To wound cattle is a capital crime ; to wound 

 man is only a misdemeanor. A comedian, who 

 performs in a theatre royal is a reputed person, 

 but if the same comedian plays the same char- 

 acter in a theatre which wants the stamp of 

 royalty, he is a rogue and a vagabond. A gen- 

 tleman of large property may hunt on the 

 ground of a man of small property, while the 

 man of small property may not hunt on his own 

 gromnl. Peers and members of parliament can- 

 not be arrested for debt, but their creditors 7nay.

Geographical Cttriosty. — At the bottom of a 

 Wood belonging to Wm. Turton, Esq. of Knowl- 

 lon-Hall, in Flintshire, is a rill of water called 

 Shedbrook, which empties into the river Dee; 

 and when you step across, you are 



In tlie Kingdom of England and Principality of Wales ; 



In the Provinces of Canterbury and York ; 



In the Dioceses of Chester, Litchfield, and Coventry; 



In the Counties of Flint and Salop ; 



In the hundreds of Maylo and Oswestry ; 



In the Parishes of Ellesmere and Overton ; 



In the townships of Knowllon and Soddylt; and 



In Mr. Turton's ground, and his neighbors.
