MOORE’S RURAL MEW-YORKER; AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
^ THE FAEMER’S SONG, 
^ Succrss to the jolly old former, 
\ Who sings at the tail of his plow — 
) The monarch of prairie and forest, 
) ’Tis only to God ho may bow 1 
? He is surely a fortunate fellow: 
^ lie raises his bread and his cheese; 
) And though hard is his labor in summer, 
; In winter he lives at his ease. 
When the reign of winter is broken, 
{ And spring comes to gladden and bless — 
') When the flocks to the meadow are sporting, 
> And the robin is building her nest — 
The farmer walks forth to his labor, 
, And manly and firm is his trend, 
As he scatters the seed for the harvest 
' That yields to the nations their bread. 
^ Ilis banks are all chartered by nature — 
Their credits are ample and sure; 
) Ilis clerks never slope with deposits, 
> Pursued by the curse of the poor; 
I Ilis stocks are the best in the market; 
, His shares are the shares of his ])low; 
) They bring the bright gold in his coffers. 
And pleasure and health to his brow. 
I When his fields with rich harvests are teeming, 
I And the reapers go forth to their toil. 
None so happy and free as the farmer — 
Possessor and lord of the soil; 
He sings while he roams his broad acres. 
As none but a farmer can sing. 
And would not change his condition 
For the splendor and pomp of a king. 
When Ilis crops are all gathered and sheltered, 
And his cattle are snug in the fold. 
He sits himself down by the fireside. 
And laughs at the tempests and cold.- 
A stranger to pride and ambition. 
His duties he strives to fulfil, 
Determined whatever betides him 
To let the world jog as it will. 
His trust is in Him who has given, 
The seasons, the sunshine, and rain, 
WYio ha.s promised him ‘ seed time and harvest,’ 
So long as the earth shall remain; 
And if from his duties he wander. 
Led on by his ventursome will. 
Through life and his changing relations 
God’s providence follows him still.

ANTICIPATORY AND INTRODUCTORY. 
“It’s come,” said my Uncle, throwing 
down a bundle of newspapers upon the 
light stand at Avhich my Aunt and Cousin 
Maiy were at work, 
“What’s come?” .said my Aunt, looking- 
up from the stocjving she vgas carefully 
darning. 
^‘Wxiy that paper, to be sure,” said my 
Uncle, as he hung up his hat, and took 
down the boot-jack. 
My Uncle-“Uncle who?” Don’t 
be in a hun*}’^, dear reader, and I Avill tell 
you. My Uncle was a very methodical man. 
After foddering and the evening chores tvere 
out of the way, he would walk to the post- 
office for the newspapers. He had few 
letters, and of late years wrote les.s. Some¬ 
times he would stay and gossip with the 
neighboi-s a little while, if the mail had not 
arrived, but • his stay was always short— 
Coming home, he would first place the pa¬ 
pers on the stand before my Aunt, walk 
to the corner of the room, hang up his hat 
in the place where it had hung for more 
than a thu-d of a century—take down the 
boot-jack and slippers, pull oflf his boots, put 
on his shppers, and place the boots in a par¬ 
ticularly warm corner. By the time this was 
done, and before he had seated himself in 
Ids old arm chair—and a fiimous old chair 
it is, and some day I will tell you why he 
so likes it—my pretty Cousin luis placed an 
exti-a light upon the stand. Six days in the 
week this he did. 
“I don’t know what paper you mean, 
Benjamin,” said my Aunt, very leisurely 
drawing her long yarn through the stocking- 
heel. 
“ Why, Moore’s paper.” 
“ But you have taken the Genesee Farmer 
all along.” 
“ Not that, but his new paper—the Rural 
New'-Yorker.” 
“ Oh! I remember now hearing you read 
something about it. But you are not going 
to take it, are you ? ” 
“ Cerbiinly, my dear, why not ? ” And 
by this time my Uncle had become a “fixed 
fact” in his chair. “Why not?” repeated 
my Uncle, as he slowly tore off the wrapper. 
“ Wliy, we take a good many papers now,” 
said my Aunt. 
“So we do; but are ivenot -well ptad? 
Let me see; there are four agricultiu-d pa¬ 
pers published in this State. The 
fcm costs one dollar, TAe Cul¬ 
tivator one dollar, the Genesee Farmer, 
fifty cents, and that new paper which came 
the other day, called the Wool Grower, 
cost fifty cents—making just three dollars, 
and the postage is fifty cents more. This 
Avill co.st two dollars, and wdth postage two 
dollai-s and fifty cents—making in all just 
six dollars.” 
“ But that is at least twelve bushels of 
corn and it takes a good deal of work to 
raise so much corn.” 
“ True, my dear. But don’t you know 
that since I have beguir reading- those pa¬ 
pers I get much better crops than we used 
to; and don’t your butter sell better than 
before Ave read about how other people did, 
who get such large prices?” 
“ I love to read these papers,” said ray 
Cousin, “but I Avish tliey came oftener.— 
Why can’t A\^e have a weekly agricultural 
paper, as well as a weekly political paper ? ” 
“Exactly; and that’s just what Mr. Moore THE COTTAGE.

AN APT QUOTATION. 
As Jane beneath a tree reposed, 
The volume in her hand she closed, 
(’Twas Collins’ Ode upon the Passions, 
Which still outlives all change of fashions:) 
But Jane mused on a dearer theme, 
And Charles was hero of her dream. 
She turned — and saw with mingled feeling, 
Charles at her side was lowly kneeling; 
His love he ventured to express — 
She rose, amazed — (could she do less?) 
But as she rose, ah ! hapless fair! 
A branch had fastened in her hair.

riddle is a young Maltese Countess of great 
Avealth and beauty, Avho offers her hand to 
the first person, under 30 years of age, Avho 
shall solve it, or 10,000 francs, at her option. 
We g-ive it to the readers of the Rural New

curiosity in such kind of conceits: 
“I am mother, father, grandfather and consort 
to myself. I am a nurse and the king of eagles. 
We are seven prisoners, and I alone supply the 
deficiencies of the others. 
From the heap of my remains, there arise in the 
air, fire, earth, water and wind, and if you wish 
to see all these things, you must put yourself to the 
trouble, of inducing a dead person to kill me.
