lOOHE’S RUSAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
VERNAL SONGS, 
THE STORMS AND STARS OF MARCH. 
Harsh is the voice and loud the war 
Of storms in that ungenial time, 
When, leaving southern lands afar. 
The Sun wakes up our Northern clime: 
The long white surges of the deep 
Then break on every wailing shore, 
And, foaming down each rocky steep, 
The mountain torrents rage and roar. 
Like rapiers dri ven with vengeful thrust, 
On breast and brow the cold winds beat, 
And rushing hail or troubled dust. 
Sweeps the rough road and echoing street: 
The groaning woods are bleak and bare, 
The violet slumbers yet unseen, 
And tliose wide fields and pastures wear 
No welcome tint of early green. 
But God, with all a Father’s love, 
When Earth thus reft of beauty lies. 
Reveals, in blazing pomp above, 
The wonders of his radiant skies: 
I,ook thou on Night’s refulgent arch, 
When that rude hour thy gladness mars 
And thou shalt find, in raging March, 
The month at once of storms and stars. 
For lo! the great Orion burns, 
Descending in the cloudless West, 
And red Arcturus now returns, 
Beaming at eve, a sacred guest: 
Far up, in circles broad and bright, 
The Bear and Lion move and shine, 
While Sirus lifts his orb of light, 
And fills our hearts with thoughts divine. 
Thus, even thus, when storms arise, 
And all is dark and joyless here, 
He sets before our longing eyes 
The glories of that lofty sphere: 
When sorely tried we grieve alone, 
Or sink beneath Oppression’s rod, 
He whispers from his starry throne, 
“ Look up, O man! and trust in God.”

“SHE WORKS FOR A LIVING.” 
It is a very prevalent opinion that there 
is something vulgar and degrading about a 
person that gains a livelihood by the sweat 
of the brow; asomething that excludes them 
from the society of the refined and intelli¬ 
gent, and classes them with the low and ig¬ 
norant We regret to say it, but it is true 
nevertheless, that this idea has most influ¬ 
ence among the female part of community, 
where the remark sometimes is heard, that 
such, a person “ works for a living,” as if 
there was contamination in the very thought. 
Strange that in this land, blessed above 
all others for its religious, and civil liberties, 
so wrong an idea should be tolerated. We 
have only to glance upon the history of the 
past, and. we find labor the great bulwark 
of nations; and the chief source from
