MISCELLANEOUS 



For the New England Farmer. 



CONSUMPTION. 



She was a bright young creature, full of joy 

 And hope — the very life of the loving 

 Inmates of her home. Health was in her eye, 

 Gladness in her step. And a meek, trusting 

 Spirit dwelt in a heart all purity. 



She was, to those who Unevv her, as the stars 

 To the lone traveller on his midnight way : 

 Or, ag the smiling, early flowers of spring 

 When first they yield their fragrance to the air 

 In all its freshness, are to him who greets 

 Their bright return with deep, impassioned gaze. 



Pure as the mountain dew was the rich stream 

 Of love that flowed within her heart — a heart 

 Formed to feel sympathy with human woe. 

 t-'orrovv ne'er cast its shadow o'er her path ; 

 Grief never dimmed the lustre of her eye ; 

 Love was her portion — for her parents, brothers, 

 Sisters, all summed up their deep affections 

 And poured them out on her — thou dearest one. 



A few short years had glided by and she 



Was still beside them— still the same loved one 



But oh ! how changed. Consumption's witherin" form 



Had passed and breathed on her an influence 



Blighting. Aflection wildly called on death 



To slay his hand; but ah, how vain the'prayers! 



Swiftly he sent his viewless arrow forth 



And lodged it in the Smntain head of life, 



Poisoning its waters. Oh ! it was 



Agony — deep, unspeakable — to gaze 



On one so loving and beloved, and mark 



The progress of disease filling the clear 



Bright spring of hfe with foul impurities: 



Daily to watch with fear the wasting frame. 



And cheek, and feel tlie light of hope depart. 



As the heart-rending truth rushed on the mind 



That she, indeed, must die. Zera. 



1 BOW NOT YET. 



I bow not yet— there 's that within 



Can soothe the pain of every care, 



Can lift my drooping spirit up 



And give bright hope a welcome there ; 



'Tis the blest thought that there is one 



So full of mercy, truth and love 



That when I raise my heart in prayer 



He listens from his throne above — 



And bids me— fearless — onward press, 



Nor heed the changing hues of time. 



To look beyond this cheating earth 



To that bright world— that blissful clime— 



Where friendship, love and truth shall meet, 



Pure hearts unite in converse sweet — 



And immortality be mine. Zera.

GREEN'S PATEiNT STRAW CUTTER. 



JO.SEPH BRECK & CO. at the New England Agriei 

 lural Warehouse and Seed Store, Kos.51 and 52 Norlh Mi 

 ket Street, have for sale. Green's Patent Straw, Hay a 

 Sialk Cutter, operating on a mechanical principle not befc 

 applied to any implement for this purpose. The most proi 

 inent eflects of this application, and some of the conseque 

 peculiarities of the machine are: 



1 . So great a reduction of the quantum of power requis 

 to use it, that the strength of a half grown hoy is suflicis 

 to woik it very efficiently. 



2. With even this moderate power, it easily cuts two bus 

 els a minute, which is full twice as fast as has been claim 

 by any Other machine even when worked by horse or stei 

 power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which th 

 cut, require sharpening less often than those of any otl 

 straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its construciion, made a 

 put together very strongly. It is therefore not so liable 

 the cumplicated machines in general use to get out of ordi
