NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



SHINGLING A HOUSE. 

 The now " reformed farmer" had fallen almost 

 asleep, it being nearly midnight, when he heard 

 the landlord's wfe say- ,^ ^^^^^ , h^rhardit i. f«r the very poor to have engendered 



Till': HOME OF THE POOR. 



There is much truth as well as deep feelintr, in 

 the following paragraph, which we extract from 

 Dickens's latest production : 



"Oh! if those who rule the destinies of nations 

 would but remember thi?,— if they would but think 



" I wish that man would go home, i 

 one to go to." 



"Hush, hush!" says the landlord, "he 11 call tor 

 something else directly." 



in their licarts that love of home from which all do- 

 mestic virtues .spring, when they live in dense and 

 squalid masses, where social decency is lost, or 



..I wish he would make haste about it then, for | rather aever found-if tl.ey would but turn aside 



it's time every hoaest person was in bed," sai.l the from the wide thoroughfare, and S;°^^ ";';;«^' """ 



■' strive to improve the wretched dwellings in byways, 



wife. 



"He '8 'taking the shingles off his house, and 

 puttiflg them on ours," said the landlord. 



At "this James bejran to come to bis right senses, 



1 prove . 

 when! only poverty may walk— many low roofs 

 would point more truly to the sky, than the loftiest 

 ! steeple that now rears proudly up fioin the mid.st 



nnrcommenc;;;rndri;^nglii.'^e3 and 'Stretching j of guilt, and crime, and horrible disease t^ nK>ck 



- ' ■ ■ In hollow voices Irom woru- 



himself as if ju.n awoke, saying, "I believe I 'll go ' 

 "Don't be ifi a hurry, James," said the land 



lord. , ■ , , 



" O yes, I must go," says James, " good night, 



and off he started. 



After an absence of some time tlie landlord met 



and accosted him — 



''Halloa, Jim, why haint you been down to see 



U8?" 



"Whyr' says James, "I had been taking shin- 

 gles off my house, and it began to leak ; so [ thought 

 it was tiine to stop tlie leak, and I have done it." 



The tavern keeper was astonished, went home to 

 tell his wife all about it, and James ever since has 

 left rum alone, and attended to his own business. 

 He is now a happy man, and his wife and children 

 are happier than ever. — StleclcJ. 



them by its contrary, 

 house, hospital, and jail, ll>i3 truth is preached from 

 day to day, and has been proclaimed for years. It 

 is no light nialler— no outcry from the working 

 vulvar, no mere question of the people's health and 

 couTforts that may be whistled down on Wednesday 

 nights. In love of home, the love of country has 

 its rise ; and who are truer patriots, or the best in 

 time of need— those who venerate the land, owning 

 its wood, and stream, and earth, and all that they 

 produce, or those who love their country, boasting 

 nut a fool of ground in all its wide domain?" 



BEAUTIKUL EXTRACT. 

 The following beautiful extract is taken from 

 the Nsv.- Englaiid Weekly Review : 



" War may stride over the land with the crush- 

 ing step of a giajftt.; pestilence may steal over it 

 like an invisible cfflrsc, reaching its victims silently 

 and unseen, unpeopling here a village and there a 

 city, until every dwelling is a sepulchre; famine 

 may brood over it with a long and weary visitation, 

 until tlie sky itself is brazen, and the beautiful 

 greenne.-s gives place to the parched desert — a 

 wide waste of unproductive desolation: — but these 

 are only physical 'evils. The wild flowers will 

 bloom in peace oti the field of battle, and above 

 the crushed skeleton ; the destroying angel of tho 

 pestilence will retire when the errand is done, and 

 the nation will again breathe freely, and the br^r- 

 rennesa of famine will cease at last ; the cloud 

 will be prodigal of its hoarded rain, and the wilder- 

 ness will blossom. But for moral desolation there 

 is no reviving spring. Let the moral and republi- 

 can principles of our country be abandoned — our 

 representatives bow in unconditional obsequious- 

 ness to individual dictatijn — let impudence, nnil 

 intrigue, and corruption, triumph over honesty and 

 intellect, an<l our liberties and .strength will depart 

 forever. Of these there can be no resuscitation. 

 The "abomination of desolation" will be fixed and 

 perpetual — and as the mighty fabric of our glory 

 totters into ruins, the nations of the earth will 

 mock at us in our overthrow, like the powers of 

 d;;rkni'BS, when the throned one of Babylon bccnuie 

 even as themselves, and the " glory of tho Chaldees" 

 had gone down forever."
