NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



Nov. a, it-at.;. 



nXXSC££<3:.AHXES. 



The following Hymn, together unth the one 

 which we published Inst week, page 112, was com- 

 posed by a Lady and Gentleman of Hertford Con. 

 and Sung at the .Anniversary of the Hn rlford coun- 

 ty Agricultural Society, October lith, IS2G. 

 God of Nature ! God of Love ! 



Smile upon our festive rite, 

 Thou who bidd'st the Seasons prove 



Circling sources of delight. 

 Spring, a rainbow promise bears, — 



Summer decks the ripening plain. 

 Autumn sings amid his cares, 



Guiding home the loaded waiii. 

 Winter, "vvith his snowy vest, 



Revels in its blended spoil. 

 Lulls the wearied earth to rest. 



Braces man for future toil. 

 Morning, bright with golden rays. 



Evening, dark with ebon pall. 

 Speak in varied tones Thy praise, 



Architect, and Sire of all ! 

 We, for whom yon groves are drest. 



Yon green vales their treasures pour, 

 Still by liberal nature blest . 



With h(^r most luxuriant store. " 

 We, to whom indulgent skies 



Plenty, health and peace impart. 

 Bid in fragrant offerings rise 



Incense from the gratefal heart. 



EPIGRAM. 



When Harry was old, to Maria he said 

 " Mj' dear if you please, we will marry." 



Maria replied with a toss of the head, 

 '• I never will wed the Old Harry!" 



He waited till all her gay suitors were gone. 

 Then cried, " a fine dance they have led you. 



The hand that I prnffered, you treated with scorn, 

 And now, the Old Harry won't wed you I" 



rOR THE NEW ENGLAND FAR.MER. 

 THE .MEDICAL PROFESSION. 



As life abounds with misery, tlicy are to be 

 considered as the greatest men and tlie most lion- 

 ourablc members of society, who arc best able to 

 relieve it. What avails it to miserable man that a 

 new planet is discovered ; or a new moon belong- 

 ing to an old planet ; or the doctrine of innate 

 ideas ; or liberty and necessity confirmed or 

 invalidated .-' But it concerns liini beyond e.xpress- 

 ion, when a remedy is pointed out for the gout, 

 the stone, a fever ; for blindness, deafness, lame- 

 ness, madness ; for the preservation of his life, or 

 the lives of those, in whom his whole happiness is 

 involved. 



FALSE DELICACY. 



There are persons so extremely refined and so 

 delicately nice, that conversation, as it is common- 

 ly conducted, even among tbe sensible and well 

 bred, affords them but little pleasure ; and as it 

 appears among people in the middle rank, persona 

 of plain sense anfi simple manners, puts them on 

 the rack. But this excessive delicacy originates 

 more frequently in excessive self-conceit and ex- 

 cessive ill nature, than from any great superiority 

 of taste or discernment. The pride of such pre- 

 tenders is flattered, and their malice gratified in 

 finding something in every one, who has the mis- 

 fortune to converse with them, wrong, defective, 

 and dlisagreeable. 



PETTY AVARICE. 



From a strange inconsistency in the human 



mind, it sometimes happens tijat aien vvlio are 

 generous and bountiful on great occasions dis- 

 grace and distress themselves by a parsimony in 

 trifles which are beneath their care. The charac- 

 ter of such a petty miser has always atforded a 

 topic for raillery and deri^ion.but, perhaps it ought 

 rather to be viewed wit/i pity, as it appears to be 

 a species of insanity. 



PROSTITUTED PRAISE. 



"Praise undeserved, is satire is disguise." A 

 man of sense is as much on his guard against un- 

 deserved and immoderate praise, as against the 

 prescriptions of a quack, or the puffs of an auction- 

 eer. A weak and vain man is deprived of the lit- 

 tle sense he ever possessed by the intoxication of 

 flattery, and then becomes a goose ready spitted, 

 and a proper subject for roasting. 



IGNORANT CRITICISJI. 



The greatest excellence is tlie most likely to be 

 misunderstood ; for few are qualified to be com- 

 petent judges of singular preeminence. They 

 I vvlio would form a sound judj^uient in learning, in 

 arts, or in life, of an exalted degree of perfection 

 must themselves possess it, and be able while they 

 give the criticism to furnish the example. 



EVILS OF AMBITION. 



Persons who live in their families a regular and 

 temperate life, performing their relative, social, 

 and religious duties, enjoy more tranquility, and 

 self possession, than the various trihes that are 

 struggling to emerge from tlie level on which 

 their birth and circumstances placed them. Such 

 as thes"^, ever restless, taste not the pleasures of 

 repose ; and as the desires of ambition, like those 

 of avarice, increase with possession, they are 

 strangers to contentment, the sweetest ingredient 

 of life. 



MILITARY GLORY. 



Julius Ciesar, according to his own confession, 

 in the conquest of Gaul occasioned the loss of one 

 million two hundred thousand lives ; and it is sup- 

 posed that the civil wars in which he was engaged 

 destroyed an equal number. Two millions four 

 hundred thousand men, murdered to aggrandize 

 one man ! 



Large Peach. — We have -seen a beautiful peach 

 of the Lemon Cling stone species, wliich was rais- 

 ed in the garden of S. F. Denison, Esq. of tliis 

 borough, and weighed ten ounces. It is the hand- 

 somest specimen of fruit we have ever seen. 



[Stonington Yan.] 



Extraordinary escapr- from t Wolf. — On tlie 14tli 

 of last month, a little girl, named Barbara Dusek, 

 was employed in tending a herd of cattle near the 

 village of Ivanezi, about a league from Agram, in 

 Croatia. All at once, the child was attacked and 

 bit by a hungry wolf. A very remarkable circum- 

 stance, or rather a wonderfiil interposition of Di- 

 vine Providence, is the manner in which tho chil 1 

 was saved from the wolf, to which she seemed al- 

 ready to have fallen a prey. The cows and oxen 

 graying in the meadow nil ran to the spot, attack- 

 e I the wild beast with their horns, and thus de- 

 livered the child from certain death. Its cries, 

 and the extraordinarj' commotion observed among' 

 the cattle attracted the peasants at work in tlie 

 fields to the spot. They immediately went in pur- 

 suit of the wolf, and had the good fortune to kill 

 it the day following.

Dr A. G. Hull's Patent Hinge Truss. ^ 

 [From the Mew York Medical and Physical Quarts 

 ly Journal, No. 15, for Sept, 1822.] 



" We take some share of reproarh to ourselves i 

 not having before this noticed the ^■c^y great injpron 

 ments made by Dr. Hull in the construction oftrussa 

 The truth is, it is only recently that our atteiitii n Hi 

 particularly directed to the subject ; and we were sm 

 prised to find how vastly superior the invention of 111 

 Hull was to any instrument of the kind which ^ 

 heretofore come within our knowledge. The priucM 

 on which it is constructed, appears to us to be iquall 

 just and original ; and the very gratifying succe 

 which has attended its application, abundantly col 

 firms the soundness of the theoretical principles I 

 which it was suggested. 

 .\mos G. Hull, M. D. 



Dear Sir. — Since our interview at my bouse I ha 

 the satisfaction to inform yeu, that I hav 

 of a rupture of 15 y-ars continnance by (be use of 

 Truss. I found on the first trial that it was. more" 

 fectual ill retaining the bowels than 

 I hare ever used. 1 s^on found that a favoural 

 change had taken place and I supposed myself cui 

 About this time I was reduced very low with Ty 

 fev>-r, as I began to recover I again found appeariS 

 of the rupture. I applied the Truss again and 

 few weeks found myself cured. I continued the |ii 

 strument about oil" year « hen 1 left it olfand (or tSl 

 last three years have been quite bee from the COB 

 jilainf. I am respectfully your friend and s( n't.
