MISCELLANEOUS. 



From Graham's Magazine. 

 THE CROWDED STREET. 



BT ITM. CULLEN BRYANT. 



Let me move slowly llirough the street, 



Filled with an evershifling train, 

 Amid the .sound of steps that beat 



The murmuring walks like autumn rain. 



How fast the flitting figures come ! 



The mild, the fierce, llie stony face — 

 Some bright with thoughtless smiles, and some 



Where secret tears have left their trace. 



They pass— to toil, to strife, to rest — 

 To halls in which the feast is spread ; 



Tocbambprs where the funeral guest 

 In silence sits beside the dead. 



And some to happy homes repair. 



Where children pressing cheek to cheek. 



With mute caresses shall declare 

 The tenderness they cannot speak. 



And some who walk in calmness here, 

 Shall shudder as they reach the door, 



Where one who made their dwelling dear — 

 Its flower, its light — ig seen no more. 



Youth ! with pale cheek and slender frame, 

 And dreams of greatness in thine eye, — 



Goest thou to build an early name, 

 Or early in the task to die ? 



Keen son of trade, with eager brow ! 



Who is now fluttering in thy snare.' 

 Thy golden fortunes — tower they now .' 



Or melt the glittering spires in air .' 



Who of this crowd, tonight shall tread 



The dance till d.aylight gleams again ? 

 Who sorrow o'er lli' untimely dead? 



Who writhe in throes of mortal pain.' 

 Borne, famine-struck, shall think how long 



The cold, dark hours — how slow the light! 

 And some, who flaunt amid the throng, 



Shall hide in dens of shame tonight. 

 Each, where his tasks or pleasures call 



They pass, and heed each other not. 

 There is who heeds — who holds them all 



In His large love and boundless thouoht. 

 These struggling tides of life that seem 



In wayward, aimless course to tend, 

 Are eddies of the mighty stream 



That rolls to its predestined end. 



Irish Denial — An Irish lad applied to a man for 

 work, and being asked if he was not Irish, denied 

 that he was. " I do n't know what you mean by 

 not being an Irish hoy," said tiie gentleman, who 

 was about to hire him; "but this I'll swear to 

 that yon were born in Ireland." "Och ! your hon- 

 or, if that 's all," said the boy, "small blame to 

 that: suppose! had been born in a stable, would 

 I have been a horse ?" — Selected. 



A Lesson for PnWe.— Alexander the Great see- 

 ing Diogenes looking attentively at a large collec- 

 tion of human bones piled one above another ask- 

 ed the philosopher what he was looking for.' " I 

 am searching," said Diogenes, " for ih°e bones of 

 your father, but I cannot distinguish them from 

 those of his slaves. 



HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have liecn maile the past year in the 

 form and workmanship o( these Ploughs; the mould Uau\ 

 has lieen so formed as to tai/ tke furrow completely oocr, 

 turning- m every particle nf grass or sluhble, and ieamrt" the 

 gro-and mike best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould lioard has ht n very much increased, so that llie 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, hoth with respect to 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late trial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" ^<^°",l'^ ""' °P'"'"'' '"= asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say to 

 the inquirer, il your land is mostly light and easy to work, 

 try Prouly & Mears, hut if your land is heavy, hard orrocky, 



BEGIN WITH Ms. HoWAno's.'' 



At the aliove mentioned trial the Howard Pl'-n-'h did 

 more work with the same pswcr of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twenlyseven 

 and one half inches, to the ti2 Ihs. draught, while the 

 Howard Plough turned twentynine and one'half inches to 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantiallv 

 made. ' 



"There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe 

 or laud side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landside; this shoe hkewise secmes 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to $15. A Ploneh 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 *10 50, and with cutter «1, with wheel and cutter, S2 60 

 extra. 



The above Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail at 

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse aud Seed Store
