NEW ENGLAND FARMER, 



JAN. 13, 1836. 



Easg©iEaaj^D:i'i?a 



From the Long Island Star. 

 A FAMILY. 



I saw Content, the other day, 



- Sit by her spinning wheel, 



And Plenty in a wooden tray 



Of wheat and Indian meal. 



Health, also, at a table sat, 



Dining upon a ham ; 

 But appetite demanded yet 



A cabbage and a clam. 



Wealth sat enthroned upon a green 



And fragrant load of hay ; 

 And happiness compelled a dog 



Behind the cart to play. 



Delight was chasing butterflies. 

 With Laugliler and with Joy ; 



Affection gazed with ardent eyes 

 Upon the sweet employ. 



Beauty was watering flowers 



Beside the cottage door ; 

 And Pleasure spoke about a tour 



To Mr Staples' store. 



Industry bid good morrow, and 



Invited me to tea : 

 But Jolly bid me stay awiiy. 



Unless I came with Glee. 



Patience sat in an easy chair. 



Unravelling a skein ; 

 While Mirth, with roguish eye, and air, 



Would tangle it again. 



Benevolence had built a tower 

 Of pudding, bread and meat. 



And bid compassion take it o'er 

 To Want, across the street. 



But I was gratified to see 



Easy, and free, and fair, 

 With Innocence upon his knee. 



Old Satisfaction there. 



He took me by the hand, and led 



Me down a vista green, 

 Where Fun and Frolic antics played, 



Two ancient oaks between. 



But, best of all it was to find. 



That Love, the day before, 

 The fopling Dress had kicked behind, 



And tossed him out of door. 



As she was winding thread, he came 



With grimace and a smirk, 

 And asked her if she'd change her name 



And leave her dirty work. 



But she had common sense, and she 

 Had strength of mind and limb ; 



She bid him from the house to flee, 

 And thus assisted him. 



And now kind reader, if you choose 



This family to know, 

 A farmer's here I'll introduce : — 



^ " hundred years ago." 



Heating rooms without wood or coal. — 

 Tliei-e is nothing — even in this day of inventions 

 —with vvhichvve have been more plea.sed, than a 

 neat little affair recently invented, and now for sale 

 in this city for heating rooms without the aid of 

 wood or coal. The apparatus to which we refer, 

 consists of a lamp, a boiler, and a radiator or stove. 

 They are so constructed as to produce any required 

 degree of heat, merely by burning the steam of 

 rum, whiskey, or any other ardent spirit. The 

 steam is generated in the boiler by the heat of the 

 lamp, and is forced through blow pipes into the ra- 

 diator or stove, where it heats a current of air 

 which is made to pass through it. The boiler,with 

 the pipes attached to it— by the aid of a self-acting 

 blow pipe, the power of which is one of the great- 

 est known to art, is in this apparatus made to act 

 upon the atmosphere ill such a manner as to pro- 

 duce great heat at a trifling expense. The article 

 is small, neat, and portable, and is indeed a very 

 pretty ornament not unfit for a centre table. It 

 occu])ies not more than a square foot, and weighs 

 about twenty pounds. A company has been form- 

 ed for the manufacture of these articles. ' We wit- 

 nessed one of them a few days ago. The quan- 

 tity of heat sent forth was astonishing. They are 

 accompanied with no danger. We shall speak 

 again of this neat, useful and economical invention.

Encouragement to Qdacks.—A quack doctor 

 recently died in Paris (says Galignani,) worth 

 5,000,000 francs. He had never entrusted any one 

 with the secret of his p^acea, which he called 

 Elixir of Life, or some similar title in French. 

 On his death bed, he requested his son to continue 

 the business, stating that his medicine was com- 

 posed of nothing but a little filtered water mixed 

 with some u.aeless ingredients to make it taste 

 agreeable.—" But," added he, " you must always 

 recommend diet and exercise." The young man 

 did not see fit to take the advice, as his father had 

 already gulled the public sufficiently for his genteel 

 supi)ort. 



Periodicai, Patronage. — We cut the follow- 



^ from the Northampton Courier. 



" We are annoyed, sometimes, by letters from 

 Post-masters, announcing that individuals who 

 have had our paper for one, two or more years, 

 have gone ofl", leaving their bills unpaid at this of- 

 fice. To stop this sort of dishonesty and apprize 

 other newspaper publishers of their names, we 

 will hereafter advertise every such'individual." 



We sympathise with our brother. His situation 

 is the predicament in which all newspaper publish- 

 ers have found themselves. The whole corps 

 editorial have from time to time, uttered their plan- 

 tive notes, against this sort of dishonesty;— but to 

 no purpose. There is no flesh in the obdurate 

 hearts to whom they were directed. Appeals and 

 protests have availed nothing. The printer's more 

 than thrice told tale of wants has fallen jiowerlcss. 

 And all the art, and all the eloquence which the 

 fraternity have enlisted in this just cause, have 

 failed in persuading some patrons, to perform the 

 injunction, "pay that thou oioest." 



Some of our contemporaries, we perceive, tired 

 of fruitless pacific measures — are threatening their 

 non-paying friends with unenviable notoriety of 

 figuring in the black list; hoping to extort from 

 their fears what they have failed to do from their 

 sense of justice. The Black List, reader, is 

 the pillory of the printer. Wo to the unfortunate 

 who is posted therein. A itiark is upon him. 

 Whereever he goes his reputation follows him. 

 It were better for him to have paid his debt. —
