For the Republican. 
Mr. Editor, 
On the 21st of July, 1821, a 
Chester County Farmer — who had just secured 
his Harvest, and was rather addicted to dabbling 
in Languages^ when at leisure — amused himself 
with a whimsical attempt to perpetrate a sort of 
Harvest-home Song^ in which the last line of each 
Quatrain should be in a different language. 
That vSong was published in the American Re- 
publican of August 1. of the same year, — and 
consists of five Stanzas, comprising a specimen of 
all the languages the writer happened then to 
have any acquaintance with. Since that time « 
having got a little smattering of two others, he has 
interpolated a Stanza for each, among those of the 
original Ditty. 
If you should be of opinion that a second edi- 
tion of the trifle, with the addition, will be worth 
the space it may occupy, you are at liberty so to 
dispose of it.

A HARVEST HOME SONG: 
BY A CHESTER COUNTY FARMER. 
“ 7b its ain Tune'' 
We Farmers, whose lands are our own, 
ilow snug, and how happy our case is \ 
When our harvesting labors are done, 
JCt ruperuHt Horrta meaeea. 
If we chose about home still to stay, 
Our affiiirs, they on pleasantly jog, now ,* 
We can call to our waiters, and say— 
Jaou^ joldee ! Cheroot, Shraub, aur Aug, laou : 
Or lulled to repose, by the breeze. 
And dreaming of Pleasure and Plenty, — 
We can stretch us beneath our own trees, 
Ohs tare il dolce far nieute. 
Or if through the country wo rove, — 
Like the hours, we can merrily dance on; 
We can st<-p with the friends that we love, 
Et chneaer Vennut la chanson. 
Should we saunter along the sea-shore— 
A scene which all others surpasses — 
We can muse by the unceasing roar 
Tea poluphloiaboio Thalaaeea. 
When summon’d again to our cares. 
We’ll go — as all good people can go,— 
Javoking success by our Prayers, 
Y con el buen mazo dando. 
And when from this earthly abode, 
It shall please the Great Spirit to call ns. 
We’ll say as we lay down life's load, 
(Inaer Gott aey gedanket fuer allea.
