MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER! AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
I»M or THE BAND THAT TILL THE LAND. 
I’m of the band that till the land, 
And draw from the earth her store ; 
Right happy indeed’s the life we lend, 
While our days are passing o’er. 
Many there arc, in riches far 
Surpassing the farmer’s purse. 
While other pursuits may yield more fruits. 
Yet ofton produce much worse, 
We envy not the statesman’s lot, 
Still clamoring for his class ; 
Nor his that fights for glory’s rights. 
At some redoubted pass. 
No risk have we on boisterous sea, 
Nor fears lest tempests whelm 
All we possess without redress 
While laboring at the helm. 
The fruitful field its bounties yield 
A rich reward for toil ; 
Be ours the trade to ply the spade. 
And deeply plow the soil; 
We walk abroad o’er carpet sod, 
And flow’rets kiss our feet. 
Whose odors rise to scent the skies— 
A tribute pure and meet. 
To all we give the means to live. 
As a brother shares with brother, 
And thus fulfil the holy will 
That bids us love each other. 
Oh, life secure from guile and pure. 
To thee my life clings ever. 
With all its might intend delight. 
To change from thee, no neve*. 
A BRACE OF PORTRAITS. 
BY F. BENJ. GAGE. 
If you are rich he’ll gladly be your friend. 
And fondly follow, faithful to the end . 
He’s always gentle, affable and kind. 
Will bow, and scrape, and praise you to your mind. 
But if you chance to be as poor as I, 
lie’ll cross the street and coldly pass you by. 
As anxious to evade your friendly grasp. 
As though you were a viper or a wasp. 
The friend alike of poverty and wealth. 
The same in sickness, and the same in health. 
As much your friend when trouble’s tempests roar. 
As when prosperity smiles at your door ; 
Firm as the steadfast rock, yet free as thought. 
By threats unshaken and by gold unbought. 
Whose heart is wed to honor’s firmest laws. 
Such is the man shall win our heart’s applause.

THE MISTAKEN MOTHER; 
OR, “ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.” 
BY HORATIO KING. 
“ Honor and shame from no condition rise; 
Act well your part, there all the honor lies.” 
“Say -what you -will, Mrs. Lincoln, my 
daughter shall never marry a mechanic— 
that point is settled beyond question. What 
right has a mechanic to seek her hand ?— 
She moves now in the first society, and I 
intend she shall never unite herself in mar¬ 
riage with any one who is not her equal, at 
least in rank.” 
“ Well, they do say,” replied Mrs. Jjin- 
coln, “ that George Hamblen has actually 
offered himself to her, or is on the point of 
doing so; and if such be the fact, and if my 
advice were asked in the matter, I should 
say, let Mary accept him by all means; she 
can never do better, and may do much 
worse. As to your remark about raUk, if 
you intend to intimate that his rank is not 
equal to that of your daughter, I must be 
allowed, frankly, to differ from you. True, 
George is a mechanic; but I have yet to 
learn that a well educated and accomplish¬ 
ed young man like him, is any the less a 
gentleman, or the less entitled to be con¬ 
sidered of the first society for being a me¬ 
chanic.” 
“ Oh, now, you needn’t talk so to me,” 
said Mrs. Otis; “ you’ll never make me be¬ 
lieve a mechanic is a gentleman, in the true 
acceptation of the word. There may be 
some who are tolerably well educated, and 
know how to appear quite respectable when 
thrown into good company; but there is 
something to my mind so vulgar in the idea 
of a mechanic, that I can never consent to 
any arrangement which would lead to in¬ 
troduce them into the first society. Least 
of all, shall any one, with my permission, 
salute me as his mother-in-law. Pshaw! 
Mrs. Lincoln, the thing is preposterous.” 
“It doubtless appears so to you, Mrs. 
Otis; but your views on this subject are all 
wrong. You cannot have examined it in its 
true light and reflected properly upon it. — 
Pray whom do you consider as tlie only per¬ 
sons who should compose what you call the 
' first society ?’ ” 
“ Why, professional men, of course; such 
as lawyers, doctors, ministers, &c., as well 
as men of pleasure, retired merchants, and 
others who are living upon their money with¬ 
out particular employment. I do not wish 
to be understood as saying that mechanics, 
farmers, and the like, are not respectable in 
tlieir places, Mrs. Lincoln; all I ask is that 
they move in their proper sphere, and not 
intrude themselves where they do not be¬ 
long.” 
“ Yes, I understand; you prefer as an as¬ 
sociate for yourself and daughter, the ‘pol¬ 
ished gentleman of leisure,’ to an honest, 
intelligent, and industrious mechanic. And 
who are many of these gentlemen who are 
admitted into and caressed by your ‘first 
society?’ Bankrupts in property, moral 
principles, and everything else, except brass 
and bristles; creatures who would pass cur¬ 
rently for puppies every where, (except in 
the ‘ first society’) though, but for their lo¬ 
quacity, some might be taken for goats in 
breeches, or ourang outangs from the Asi¬ 
atic islands! Against your lawyers, doctors 
and divines, I have nothing to say: in your 
language, I respect them all in their places. 
But as distinct classes in society, neither is 
a whit better, or more re.spectable, than the 
hardy mechanics and yeomanry of our 
country generally. If there be any distinc¬ 
tion, the producing classes are certainly en¬ 
titled to the highest consideration.” 
“ Well, Mrs. Lincoln, if you don’t beat 
all! Why your doctrine carried out, would 
destroy all distinctions in society. Only 
think of a fashionable assembly, composed 
of gentlemen of different learned professions, 
farmers, mechanics, traders, speculators, 
gamblers, and what not, each and all witli 
their female associates, congregated on terms 
of perfect equality! Wouldn’t it present a 
beautiful picture?” 
“ But you are a little too fast,” replied 
Mrs. Lincoln; “ I am not the advocate of 
such equality as that, by any means. On 
the contrary, I wish to see what passes for 
the ‘ first society’ among us, purged of its 
impurities, and the worthy mechanic assume 
the rank he deserves in the world. I would 
have the frown of the virtuous and good 
forever fixed upon the unprincipled and dis¬ 
solute, whatever their occupation in life.— 
External accomplishments, either with or 
without wealth, should never serve as a 
passport to a polluted heart into the bosom 
of respectable society. While honest indus¬ 
try should ever be regarded with the smile 
of commendation, and its antagonist, indo¬ 
lence, .should find no favor whatever.” 
“Well, it is all folly to talk to me. My 
mind is made up. Mary is not going to 
have George Hamblen, nor'any other me¬ 
chanic. She shall live and die an old maid 
first.” 
“ Very well; it is no particular concern of 
mine,” said Mrs. Lincoln; “but we shall 
soon see whether Mary is herself disposed 
to regard his advances with favor. Indeed, 
I have already seen enough to satisfy me 
that George has nothing to fear, so far as 
she is concerned. It is not long since I 
chanced to observe them very closely en¬ 
gaged in conversation by themselves. It 
was on the occasion of Mary’s late visit to 
her aunt Leaning with clasped hands up¬ 
on his arm, she was looking up into his face 
with an earnestness of expression that at 
once convinced me of her devotedness to 
him. But here she comes; let us hear what 
she has to say for hersqjf ” 
Mary had now just returned from a short 
walk; well knowing the prejudice of her 
mother against mechanics, she resolutely 
insisted that Mrs. Lincoln must have mista¬ 
ken her cousin Lorenzo for Mr. Hamblen, 
as the person with whom she was promen¬ 
ading while at her aunt’s. 
At this moment the door-bell rang, and a 
gentleman was immediately conducted into 
the room, whom Mary recognized and in¬ 
troduced as Mr. Williams, a young physician, 
from a neighboring village. Mary had met 
him at a recent party, and he called in pass¬ 
ing, just to present his compliments to her, 
and see that she suffered no inconvenience 
from her exposure to the damp air on the 
night of the party. 
His age was about twenty-two—his stat¬ 
ure a little above the medium height—com¬ 
plexion light—eyes and nose prominent— 
and his expression altogether agreeable. 
After a half hour of pleasant conversation, 
he took his leave, not, however, without re¬ 
ceiving and accepting a very pressing invi¬ 
tation from Mrs. Otis, in which her daugh¬ 
ter, of course, modestly joined, to call again. 
He had no sooner left the house, than 
Mrs. Otis embraced the occasion to draw a 
lively comparison between him, as one of 
the learned professions, and mechanics.— 
With an air of self satisfaction she said: 
“ Show me your mechanic, Mrs. Lincoln, 
who is able to converse with Dr. Williams. 
Did you not observe the variety and extent 
of his knowledge, his happy faculty of com¬ 
munication, and polish of manners. Talk 
not to me of your mechanics! In point of 
everything pleasant and agreeable—nay, 
even valuable in a gentleman, I will place 
Dr. William.s, little as I have seen of him, 
against any dozen mechanics you can pro¬ 
duce.” j 
Mrs. Lincoln, not di.sposed to continue the 
controversy further, and ever willing to ac¬ 
knowledge merit whenever she saw it, very 
cheerfully concurred in the favorable opin¬ 
ion expressed of Dr. Williams—adding, how¬ 
ever, that there were many mechanics fully 
equal to him in extent of knowledge, readi¬ 
ness of communication, and polish of address. 
It is proper to remark here, that Augus¬ 
tus Otis, Esq., the husband of lady Otis, was 
a gentleman of great good sense, and a law¬ 
yer of distinguished ability. Himself the 
son of a worthy mechanic, he was never 
heard to speak of mechanics in any other 
than terms of the greatest respect. More¬ 
over, had he been present, there is little risk 
in saying Mrs. Lincoln would have found 
him heartily concurring with her in support 
of her cause. 
Dr. Williams soon became intimate at the 
house of Mr. Oti.s, who with his lady spared 
no pains to make his visits agreeable to him. 
It was also quite apparent that Mary con¬ 
tributed her part toward the same end, with 
the same perfect cheerfulness and good will. 
As the writer is not at liberty to disclose 
further what transpired m the innocent and 
friendly intercourse between Mary and the 
accomplished young doctor, at this point, 
“ Where thought meets tliought, ere from the lips 
it starts, 
And each warm wish springs mutual from the heart;’ 
leaving this part of the-picture to the imag¬ 
ination of the reader—we come directly to 
the fact, that all parties joyfully assenting, 
the bans tvere duly published, and the day 
of marriage agreed on. 
Mary never looked more beautiful than 
on the morning of her marriage day—a 
bright morning in May— 
“ Heaven was in her eye, 
In every gesture, dignity and love.” 
At the appointed hour, the bride and 
bridegroom—Mary Otis and young Williams, 
attended by her cousin Lorenzo and a 
young female associate—stepped into a car¬ 
riage, in readiness at the door, and hasten¬ 
ed to wait upon the minister of the parish, 
residing at the village, about eight miles 
distant In the meantime a small party of 
friends, Mrs. Lincoln, among the rest, assem¬ 
bled at the house of Mr. Otis to offer their 
congratulations to the happy couple bn their 
return, and tender the usual civilites of all 
such joyous occasions. 
The minister soon performed his part of 
the ceremony, when husband and wife, with 
their attendants, immediately returned, and 
were met at the door by Mrs. Lincoln, who 
had volunteered formally to introduce the 
newly married couple to those in waiting to 
greet them. 
Conducting them at once into the pres¬ 
ence of the company, assembled in the 
drawing-room— 
“ Allow me, ladies and gentlemen,” said 
Mrs. Lincoln, “to introduce you to Dr. 
Williams, better known as Mr. Geo. Ham¬ 
blen, the mechanic— editor, printer and pub¬ 
lisher of the “Village Chronicle”—and his 
lady, liitherto the accomplished Miss Otis.” 
All eyes were fixed on Mrs. Otis, who 
stood half amazed, in doubt whether to 
credit what she had just heard as the sober 
reality, or whether the occasion had been 
seized on by Mrs. Lincoln to play off an in¬ 
nocent hoax at her expense. She was soon 
however, convinced, that the gentleman, 
now her son-in-law whom she had known 
and so highly esteemed as “ Dr. Williams,” 
was, indeed, none other than plain Mr. Ham¬ 
blen, the mechanic. 
Collecting herself, and resolving to make 
the best of the somewhat awkward position 
in which she found herself placed, 
“I perceive,” said she, taking by the hand 
and addressing Mr. Hamblen, “that I have,, 
though I trust not w^th your approbation, 
been deceived both in your name and occu¬ 
pation. Be it so. Had I regrets to express, 
this is no place for them—it is now too late. 
With mechanics, I had associated the idea 
of ignorance and want of gentlemanly ac¬ 
complishments. Hence my unfavorable 
opinion of them as a class. But in you I 
observed no deficiency of education: I liked 
your apparent sincerity; I was pleased with 
your deportment—yes, more, I entertained 
the most entire confidence in your honesty 
and the purity of your moral principles.— 
Why, then, should I hesitate ? The little 
deception which I am well aware, has been 
practiced at the instance of her who is now 
your wife—borne on by friends, not except¬ 
ing her own father, in whom she confided 
—is of slight moment. Only let there be 
no further deception—as I am sure none is 
intended—and I can most cheerfully for¬ 
give and forget what has passed. Take my 
daughter; it is your choice—it is her’s. 
“ To you, my daughter, just entering up¬ 
on new and important relations in life, in 
the language of another, let me advise you 
that the good wife is one who is strictly and 
conscientiously virtuous; she is humble and 
modest from reason and conviction, submis¬ 
sive from choice, and obedient from inclina¬ 
tion. What she acquires by love, she pre¬ 
serves by prudence. She makes it her de¬ 
light to please her husband, being confident 
that every thing that promotes his happi¬ 
ness, must in the end contribute to her own. 
Sbe always rejoices in his pro.sperity, and 
by her tenderness and good humor lessens 
his cares and alHictions. Go — and may 
Hqaven bless you both.” 
Young Hamblen, as may well be sup¬ 
posed, was not free from embarrassment on 
this occasion. Addressing Mrs. Otis— 
“ You are correct,” said he, “in the opin¬ 
ion that I yielded, with great reluctance, to 
the little artifice which has been employed. 
I finally assented only on the strongest as¬ 
surance, from those whom I knew to be 
your best friends, that I should be held 
blameless in the matter. If I have sailed 
into port under false colors, it was not from 
my own inclination, but in obedience to a 
commanding signal from the very prize I 
have captured.” 
“ Look up,” thundered the captain of a 
ve.sse], as his boy grew giddy while gazing 
from the top-mast. “Look up" ! The boy 
looked up and returned in safety. Young 
man, look up, and you will succeed. Nev¬ 
er look down and despair. Leave dangers 
uncared for, and push on. If you falter, 
you lose. “Look up." Do right, and trust 
in God.

THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE FERRYMAN. 
A PHILOSOPHER stepped on board a fer¬ 
ry-boat to cross a stream. On the passage, 
he inquired of the ferry man if he under¬ 
stood arithmetic. The man looked aston¬ 
ished. 
“Arithmetic! No, sir.” 
“ I am very sorry, for one quarter of your 
life is gone.” 
A few minutes after, he asked— 
“ Do you understand mathematics ?” 
The boatman smiled ^d replied—“No ?” 
“ Well, then,” said tire philosopher, an¬ 
other quarter of your life’s gone.” 
Just then the boat run on a snag, and 
was sinking, when the ferryman jumped up, 
pulled off his coat, and asked the philoso¬ 
pher with great earnestness of manner— 
“ Sir, can you swim ?” 
“No, sir.” 
“Well, then,” said the ferryman, “your 
whole life’s lost, for the boat’s going to the 
bottom.” 
THE LAST CURIOSITIES.

A mammoth parsnip that can’t be heet.

A lock of hair from the head of Sacra¬ 
mento.

Rather Caustic. —When Dr. Johnson 
had completed his dictionary, the booksel¬ 
ler, and principal proprietor of the work, 
could not help expressing his joy upon the 
occasion, in terms somewhat intemperate, 
as appears by the following acknowledge¬ 
ment of the receipt of the last sheet of the 
manuscript:— 
“ Andrew Millar sends his compliments 
to Mr. Samuel Johnson, with the money for 
the last sheet of the copy of the dictiona¬ 
ry, and thanks God he has done with him.”" 
To which Johnson returned this good- 
humored answer:— 
“ Samuel Johnson returns his thanks to 
Mr. Andrew Millar, and is very glad to find 
(as he does by his note,) that Andrew Mil¬ 
lar has the urace to thank God for any¬ 
thing.” __ 
Sharp. — “ My love,” said an amiable 
spouse to her husband, “ don’t sell that 
horse, I like him, and I want to keep him.” 
“ He’s my horse, and I’ll sell him,” re¬ 
plied the loving lord; “ didnt’t I buy him ?” 
“ It was my money that bought him,” re¬ 
torted the aristocratic lady. 
“ Yes, madam,” said the husband, “ and 
by Jupiter )mur money bought me, or you 
never would have got me!” 
Irish-American Sea-Serpent. — The 
London Punch says the Irish seem to be 
taking the American sea-serpent “ quite in- 
tirely ” out of the hands of the Yankees. 
It is a difficult labor to imagine an Irish- 
American sea-serpent. The only picture 
we can draw of him is with a short pipe in 
his mouth, brandishing a shillelagh with 
one of his fins, shouting out, “ Will any jin- 
tleman jist tread upon my tale ? ” 
“ Daddy, what kind of ware is it that 
you want to be—hard-ware, glass ware, 
stone-ware, or crockery-ware ? ” “ Not any 
kind of ware, Cimon. What do you 
mean ? ” “ Why, this morning, when it 
lightened, you said, when it stormed, per¬ 
sons always ought to hQ-ware." “ Peggy, 
pin this boy’s ears to Ills shoulder-blades 
and put him to bed.” 
“ Mith Thimmoth,” said a lisping little 
fellow of five, “I’m alwath real glad when 
you come a vithiting to our houth.” 
“ Are you, my little dear—you are fond 
of me, then ?” 
“ No, that ain’t it, Mith Thimmoth: but 
’cauth then we alwath have two kinds of 
pieth.” 
“What does cleave mean. Pa?” “It 
means to unite together.” “Does John 
unite wood when he cleaves it ?” “ Hem, 
well it means to separate.” “Well, Pa, 
does a man separate from his wife when he 
cleaves to her “ Hem, hem, don’t ask 
so many foolish questions, child.” 
The Lynn News Man saw a chap, the 
other day, in an uncomfortable situation.— 
He was much incensed at something which 
appeared in the News, and wanted to dis¬ 
continue the paper; but, as he did not hap¬ 
pen to be a subscriber, that excellent species 
of revenge was out of his power. 
A WAG on being threatened with expul¬ 
sion from school on account of his mad 
pranks, very gravely replied—“ If you expel 
me, I wont come to school another day!” 
The following is given as a fireman’s 
toast: — “ The Ladies—the only incendiaries 
I who kindle a flame which water will not 
I extinguish.” 
“ Attempt Uie end, and never stand to doubt; 
Nothing’s so hard, but search will find It out.”

■WHAT “THEY” SAY OF THE RURAL. 
The Rurai. New-Yorker. —This is a handsome 
weekly folio, of eight pages, published at Roches¬ 
ter, by U. D. T. Moore, Tate of the Genesee Far¬ 
mer. It is edited by an association of gentlemen. 
Three pages are devoted to Agriculture, Horticul¬ 
ture, and Domestic Economy; one to Mechanic Arts 
and Sciences; one to Education; and three to the 
News of the day. Literature, &c. We are thus 
particular in stating the arrangement of this new 
weekly, for we think it a wiorfe/ jiaper for the far¬ 
mer’s family, and of a kind much more likely to be 
generally patronised, than those purely agriaiUural. 
The New-England weekly papers, conducted in this 
style, pay much better than those strictly agricul¬ 
tural, and if we were to start a periodical again, it 
would be in imitation of the Rural New-Yorker. — 
American Agriculturist. 
This work also combines in one, a number of fea¬ 
tures hitherto kept distinct or partially so, in the 
publications of the day, and thus brings before its 
readers a mass of varied information relative to the 
culture of the earth and the comfort and improve¬ 
ment of its inhabitants, w'hich could not otherwise 
be obtained except by the purchase and study of a 
number of books. Tliis feature is a most valuable 
one and should secure to the work a general and a 
generous support.— Oneida Herald. 
This new weekly journal has found its way to 
oMr table, and we take high pleasure in commending 
it to the favor of our readers. With this new pa¬ 
per, in a splendid new dress, with an able corps of 
editors, devoted each to his own department, Mr. 
.Moore’s Ne\o- Yorker cannot fail to be, not only an 
excellent agricultural, but a highly popular and use¬ 
ful family newspaper. We wish it a large mea¬ 
sure of success.— Mich. Christian Herald. 
* * We had calculated, from the known genius 
and taste of Mr. Moore, upon a paper of the first 
class. In this weJiave not been disappointed. Its 
appearance is beautiful. The reading matter, ori¬ 
ginal and selected, evidences much talent and dis¬ 
crimination. The gentlemanly conductor has our 
best wishes for the success of his enterprise.— Bii/h.
