MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YOR KER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
SONG: I WAIT FOR THEE, MARY. 
I wait for thee, Mary, the vesper’s low bell, 
Has tolled for the daylight a funeral knell; 
My bark is impatient to bound o’er the sea— 
Sweet Mary, my Mary, I’m waiting for thee; 
Far hence o’er the billon s a home I have made, 
Delightful with blossoms and pleasant with shade, 
Where life shall pass gaily like beautiful dreams 
As bright as the sunshine, as glad as the streams. 
I wait for thee, Mary; my heart beateth fast— 
The future is painted with hues from the past, 
And Fancy’s creations, the brightest and best, 
Like heavenly visions arise in my breast; 
The stars shed their lustre, the moon smileth bright, 
Earth sleeps in the bosom of guardian Night, 
My boat is impatient to fly o’er the sea— 
Sweet Mary, my Mary, I’m waiting for thee! 
PEACE.-A FRAGMENT. 
This answer surprised me very much, 
and I endeavored gently to impress him 
with the fact that a more devout frame of 
mind would be becoming in him, and of 
the necessity of his being prepared to die; 
but he remained silent, 
A few days afterwards, I asked him if 
he would not permit me me to send for the 
Rev. Dr. B——, a most kind man in sick¬ 
ness, who would be of the utmost service 
to him in his present situation. He de¬ 
clined firmly and positively. Then I deter 
mined to solve this mystery, and to under 
stand this strange phase of character in

you not to act in this manner. What could 
have disturbed your young mind? You 
certainly believe there is a God, to whom 
you owe a debt of gratitude.’ 
‘ No, I don’t believe there is a God. 
Yes, that little boy, young as he was, was 
an atheist; and he even reasoned in a log 
cal manner, for a mere child like him. 
4 1 cannot believe there is a God,’ said 
he, * for if there were a God, he must be 
merciful and just ; and he never, never 
never could have permitted my father, 
who was innocent to be hanged! Oh, my 
father! my father!’ he exclaimed passion 
ately, burying his face in the pillow, and 
sobbing as if his heart would break. 
I was overcome by my own emotion; but 
all that I could say would not change his 
determination; he would have no minister 
of God beside him—no prayers by his bed 
side. I was unable with all my endeavors, 
to apply any balm to his wounded heart. 
A few days after this, I called, as usual 
in the morning, and at once- saw very clear¬ 
ly that the little boy must soon depart.

RUBBING THE NEW YORKERS. 
I long for Peace—the peace serene that laps 
The spirit in realms of rapt Elysium. 
A peace that breathes an air of calm content— 
A holy joy—a thrill of quiet bliss, 
Where we ask nothing more hut to he left 
All undisturbed, to finish out our dreams:—

Perceiving the boy’s life to be waning, I

A Yankee adventurer heard of the mat¬

which he did as follows: after arriving in 
the neighborhood of Farmer Grindstone, he 
commenced a diligent inquiry for a situa- 
Man and Woman.— Man is the creature 
of interest and ambition. His nature leads 
him forth into the struggle and bustle of 
the world. Love is but the embellishment 
of his early life, or a song piped in the in¬ 
tervals of the acts. He seeks for fame, for 
fortune, for space in the world’s thought, 
and dominion over his fellow men. But a 
woman’s whole life is a history of the af¬ 
fections. The heart is her world; it is there 
her ambition strives for empire; it is there 
her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She 
sends forth her sympathies on adventure; 
she embarks her whole soul in the traffic of | 
affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is 
hopeless—for it is bankruptcy of the heart.
