MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YOR KER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL 
SONNET: THE SWALLOW- 
I n early summer, ere the grain is white, 
A flock of merry swallows rear their young 
In nests of clay, with feathers lined, and hung 
Beneath our barn-roof. ’Tis a pleasant sight 
To see them wing their soft and easy flight. 
How quick across my vision’s track they dart, 
Flitting together now, and now apart, 
At will—fit imaging of pure delight. 
Fair is thy summer, graceful swallow! fair 
Thy year without a winter. Who, with thee, 
Would not be soaring through the ambient air, 
Circling and darting, measureless and free! 
But Fancy’s wings can yet the spirit bear, 
I too can trill my simple poesy! J. H. B. 
LOVE VS. WEALTH. 
i *' - 
BY MISS C. M. SEDGWICK. 
\ In the lovely vale of the Housatonic there 
dwelt a rustic pair, who found out, 
rather late in life, that Heaven had decreed 
they should wear together the conjugal yoke. 
I That Heaven had decreed it, no one could 
doubt who saw how well it fitted, and how 
well they drew together. 
; They had one child—a late blossom, and 
cherished as such. Little Mary Marvel 
would have been spoiled, but there was 
nothing to spoil her. Love is the element 
■ of life, and in an atmosphere of love she 
£ lived. Her parents were people of good 
sense—upright and simple in their habits, 
with no theroies, nor prejudices, ambitions, 
^ or corruptions, to turn the child from the 
inspirations of Heaven, with which she be¬ 
gan her innocent life. 
When little Mary Marvel came to be 7 
years old, it was a matter of serious consid- 
' eration how she was to be got to the dis- 
> trict school on “ the plain,” (the common 
designation of the broad village street) full 
a mile from the Marvel’s secluded residence. 
I Mrs. Marvel was far better qualified than 
> the teachers of the s iid school, to direct the 
literary training of her child. She was a 
> strong-minded woman, and a reader of all 
l the books she could compass. But she had 
l the in-door farm-work to do—cheese to 
) make, butter to churn, die.; and after little 
; Mary had learned to read and spell, she 
must be sent to school for the more elabo- 
l rate processes of learning—arithmetic, ge- 
l ography, die. 
“ Now, J ulius Hasen,” said Marvel to his 
> only neighbor’s son, “don’t you want to 
) call, as you go by, days, with your little 
; sister, and take our Mary to school ? I guess 
: she won’t be a trouble. She could go alone; 
but somehow, mother and I shall feel easier 
> _as the river is to pass, die.—if you are 
s willing.” 
; A kind boy was Julius; and without hes¬ 
itation, he promised to take Marvel’s treas- 
> ure under his convoy. And, for two years 
l following, whenever the district school was 
i in operation, Julius might be seen conduct- 
j ing the two little girls down the hill that 
l leads to the bridge. At the bridge they 
j loitered. Its charm was felt, but indefina- 
' hie. It was a spell upon their senses; they 
would look down the sparkling stream till 
; it winded far away from sight, and at their 
own pretty faces, that smiled again to them, 
and at Julius skittering the stones along the 
> water, (a magical rustic art!) That old 
s bridge was a point of sight for pictures, 
$ lovelier than Claude painted. For many a 
j year, the old lingered there to recall the. 
> poetry of their earlier days, lovers, to watch 
) the rising and setting of many a star, and 
) and children to play out their “ noon-times” 
; and twilights. Heaven forgive those who 
l replaced it with a dark, dirty, covered, barn- 
' like thing, of bad odor in every sense!— 
> The worst kind of barbarians, those who 
: make war—not upon life, but upon the life 
) of life—its innocent pleasures! 
But we loiter with the children when we 
( should go on with them through the narrow 
c lane intersecting broad, rich meadows, and 
) shaded by pollard willows, which form liv- 
l ing and growing posts for the prettiest of 
: our northern fences, and round the turn by 
' the old Indian burying ground. Now, hav- 
< ing come to “ the plain," they pass the 
solemn precincts of the village Church, and 
$ that burying-ground where, since the Indi- 
) an left his dead with us, generations of their 
< successors are already lain. And now they 
( enter the wide village street, wide as it is, 
1 shaded and embowered by dense maples 
( and wide-spreading elms; and enlivened 
' -with neatly trimmed court-yards and flower 
( gardens. It was a pleasant walk, and its 
; sweet influences bound these young people’s 
< hearts together. We are not telling-a love 
; story, and do not mean to intimate that this 
> was the beginning of one—although we 
; have heard of the seeds nature implants 
l germinating at as early a period as this, and 
( we remember a boy of six years old who 
r on being reproved by his mother for hav- 
> ing kept his book open at one place, and his 
> eye fixed on it for half an hour, replied with 
i touching frankness— 
; “Mother, I can see nothing there but 
? Caroline Mitchell! Caroline Mitchell!” 
> Little Mary Marvel had no other senti- 
> ment for Julius than his sister had. She 
thought him the kindest and the best; and 
much as she reverenced the village peda¬ 
gogues, she thought Julius’ learning pro¬ 
founder than their’s, for he told them sto¬ 
ries from the Arabian Nights—taught them 
the traditions of Monument Mountain— 
made them learn by heart the poetry that 
has immortalized them, and performed other 
miracles of learning and teaching, to which 
the school-master did’nt approach ! 
Children’s judgments are formed on sin¬ 
gular premises, but they are usually just 
conclusions. Julius was an extraordinary 
boy, and fortunately, he was selected on that 
account, and not because he was sickly and 
could do nothing else (not uncommon 
grounds for this elect) for a liberal educa¬ 
tion. Strong of heart and strong in body, 
he succeeded in every thing and without 
being a charge to his father. He went 
through college —was graduated with hon¬ 
or—studied law —and, when Mary Marvel 
was about 19, he came home from his resi¬ 
dence in one of our thriving Western cities, 
for a vacation in his full legal business. 
His first visit was to the Marvels, where 
he was received with as much warmth as 
in his father’s home. As he left the house, 
he said to his sister Anne, who was with 
him— 
“ How shockingly poor Mary is looking!” 
“ Shockingly! Why I expected you 
would say she was so pretty!” 
“Pretty! My dear Anne, the roses on 
your cheeks are worth all the beauty that 
is left in her pale face. What have they 
done to her? When you were children, 
she was a robust, round little thing-—and 
so strong and cheerful—you could hear her 
voice half a mile, ringing like a bell; and 
now it’s ‘Hark from the tomb a doleful 
sound!’ When I last saw her—let me see 
—four years ago—she was not perhaps a 
Hebe—but a wholesome looking girl.” 
“Julius!—what an expression!” 
“ Well, my dear, it conveys my meaning, 
and, therefore, is a good expression. What 
has been the matter? Has she had a fe¬ 
ver? Is she diseased ?” 
“Julius! No! Is that the way the 
Western people talk about young ladies?— 
Mary is in poor health—rather delicate; 
but she does not look so different from the 
rest of our girls—I, you know, am an ex¬ 
ception.” 
“Thank Heaven, you are, my dear Anne, 
and thank our dear sensible mother, who 
understands the agents and means of health.” 
“ But Mary’s mother is a sensible woman 
too.” 
“ Not in her treatment of Mary, I am 
sure. Tell me how she lives. What has 
she been about since I was here ?” 
“ Why, soon after you went away, you 
know, I wrote to you that sho had gone to 
the-School. You know her parents 
are willing to do every thing for her—and 
Mary was very ambitious. They ar e hard 
students at that school. Mary told me she 
studied from eight to ten hours a day. She 
always got sick before examination, and had 
to send home for lots of pills. I remember 
Mrs. Marvel once sending her four boxes of 
Brandreth’s at a time. But she took the 
first honors. At the end of her first term, 
she came home, looking, as you say, as if 
she had a fever.” 
“ And they sent her back ?” 
“Why, yes, certainly—term after term 
—for two years. You know Mary was al¬ 
ways persevering; and so was her mother. 
And now they have their reward. There 
is not a girl anywhere who surpasses Mary 
for scholarship.” 
“Truly, they have their reward, infatu¬ 
ated people!” murmured Hasen. “Have 
they taken any measures to restore her 
health, Anne ?” 
“ Oh, yes. Mrs. Marvel does not permit 
her to do any hard work. She does not 
even let her sweep her own room; they 
keep a domestic, you know; and, last win¬ 
ter, had an air-tight stove in her room, and 
it was kept constantly warm, day and night. 
The draft was opened early; and Mrs. Mar¬ 
vel let Mary remain in bed as long as she 
pleased: and, feeling weak, she seldom was 
inclined to rise before nine or ten.” 
“ Go on, Anne. What other sanitary 
measures were pursued ?” 
“ J ust such as we all take, when we are 
ill. She doctors, if she is more unwell than 
usual; and she rides out almost every pleas¬ 
ant day. There is nothing they won’t do 
for her, there is no kind of pie or cake, 
sweetmeat or custard, that Mrs. Marvel does 
not make to tempt her appetite. If she 
wants to go to ‘the plain,’ Mr. Marvel har¬ 
nesses, and drives over. You know, father 
would think it ridiculous to do it for me.” 
“ Worse than ridiculous, Anne! What 
does the poor girl do? How does she 
amuse herself?” 
“ I do believe, Julius, you are interested 
in Mary Marvel!” 
“ I am. I was always curious as to the 
different modes of suicide people adopt.— 
Has she any occupation—any pleasure?” 
“ Oh, yes; she reads forever, and studies: 
she is studying German now.” 
“ Poor Mary!” 
“What in the world makes you pity 
Mary, Julius ?” 
“ Because, Anne, she has been deprived 
of nature’s best gift—defrauded -of her in¬ 
heritance; a sound constitution from her 
temperate active parents. One may have 
all the gifts, graces, charms, accomplish¬ 
ments, under Heaven, and if they have not 
health, of what use or enjoyment are they ? 
I f that little, frail body of Mary Marvel’s 
contained all that I have enumerated, it 
would be just the reverse of Pandora’s box 
—having every good, but one curse that in¬ 
fected all.” 
“Dear J ulius, I cannot bear to hear you talk 
so of Mary. I expected you would like her 
so much. I—I — hoped -. She is so 
pretty, so lovely—she is fit for Heaven.” 
“ She may be, Anne,—I do not doubt it; 
but she ir very unfit for earth. What has 
her good, devoted, sensible well informed 
mother been about? If Mary had been 
taught the laws of health, and obeyed them, 
it would have been worth infinitely more to 
her than all she has got at your famous 
boarding school. Ignorance of these laws 
is culpable in the mothers—disastrous, fatal 
to the daughters. It is a disgrace to our peo¬ 
ple. The young women now coming on, 
will be as nervous, as weak, as wretched, as 
their unhappy mothers—languishing em¬ 
bodiments of diseases—mementos of doc¬ 
tors and pill boxes, dragging out life in air 
tight rooms, religiously struggling to per¬ 
form their duties, and dying before they 
have half finished the allotted term of life. 
They have no life—no true enjoyment of 
life ?” 
“What a tirade, Julius! Any one would 
think you were a cross old bachelor!” 
“ On the contrary, my dear Anne, it is 
because I am a young bachelor and desire 
not to be a much older one, that 1 am so 
earnest on this subject. I have been trav¬ 
eling now for two months in rail cars and 
steamers, and I could fill a medical journal 
with cases of young women, married and 
single, whom I have met from town and 
country, with every ill that flesh is heir to. 
I have been an involuntary auditor of their 
charming little confidences of “ chronic 
headaches,’ ‘nervousfeelings,’ ‘weak backs;’ 
‘neuralgia,’ and Heaven knows what all!” 
“ Oh, Julius! Julius!” 
“ It is true, Anne. And their whole care 
is, gentle and simple, to avoid the air; never 
to walk when they can ride; never to use 
cold water when they can get warm; never 
to eat bread when they can get cake, and so 
on,through the chapter. In the matter of eat¬ 
ing and drinking, and such little garnitures 
as smoking and chewing, the men are worse. 
Fortunately, their occupations save most of 
them from the invalidism of the women.— 
You think Mary Marvel beautiful?” 
“ No—not beautful. perhaps—but very, 
very pretty, and so loveable!” 
“ Well,” rejoined Julius, coldly, after some 
hesitation, “Mar} is pretty ; her eye is beau¬ 
tiful; her whole face intelligent, but so pale, 
so thin—her lips so colorless—her hands so 
transparent, that I cannot look at her with 
any pleasure. I declare to you, Anne, when 
I see a woman with a lively eye, a clear, 
healthy skin, that shows the air of Heaven 
visits it daily—it may be roughly—if it 
pleases Heaven to roughen the day—an 
elastic vigorous step, and a strong, cheerful 
voice, I am ready to fall down and do her 
homage ?” 
Hasen passed the summer in his native 
town. He renewed his intimacy with his 
old neighbors. He perceived in Mary graces 
and qualities that made him feel the heav¬ 
enly and forget the earthly; and, in spite of 
his wise, well considered resolution, in three 
months he had impressed on her “pale 
cheek,” the kiss of betrothal, and slipt on 
the third finger of her “ transparent hand,” 
the “engagement ring!” 
But we must do Julius Hasen justice.— 
When his laughing sister rallied him on his 
O S 
inconsistency he said: 
“You are right Anne; but I adhere to 
my text though I must now uphold it as a 
beacon—not as an example. I must say 
with the Turk—‘ It was written.’ ” 
He was true to himself and true to his 
wife; and at the risk of shocking our young 
lady readers, we must betray that, after the 
wedding ring, Hasen’s first gift to Mary was 
—“The Principles of Physiology applied 
to the Preservation of Health, and the Im¬ 
provement of Physical and Moral Educa¬ 
tion ; by Andrew Combe, M. D.” This book 
(which should be studied by every mother 
in the United States) he accompanied by a 
solemn adjuration, that she would study and 
apply it. He did not stop here. After his 
marriage, he bought two riding horses— 
mounted his bride on one and himself on 
the other, and thus performed the greater 
part of the journey to Indiana—only taking 
a rail car for convenience, or a steamer for 
repose! 
And, arrived at his Western home, and 
with the hearty acquiesence of his wife, who 
only needed to know the right to pursue it, 
she* began a physical life in obedience to 
the laws laid down by the said oracle, An¬ 
drew Combe. 
Last fall, six years since his marriage, he 
bro’t his wife and two children to visit his 
eastern friends. In reply to compliments 
on all hands, on his wife’s improved health 
and beauty, he laughingly proposed to build 
on the site of the old Indian dwelling, a 
quadrangular Temple, dedicated to the Four 
Ministers to Health—Air, Water, Exercise, 
and Regimen!— Arther’s Home Gazette. 
Thebe is no happiness without virtue.

Great Sale of Superior Thorough-Bred 
SHORT-HORN CATTLE. 
T HE Subscriber, having more slock than iic can we 
sustain on his farm, will offer at public auction aliou 
30 head of bis Improved Short-horn Cattle—consisting o 
Bulls, Cows, Heifers and Heifer and Bull Calves—on tlie 
‘215th day of June next, at his farm 2£ miles from this city, 
(Troy.) 
It is known to breeders of improved stock, in this coun¬ 
try, and in Canada, that the proprietor of this Herd, during 
the past 12 years has, through the medium of importations 
from England, and selections from the best herds in this 
country, spared no expense to rear a herd of Cattle from 
which superior animals could he safely drawn, lor im¬ 
provement and crosses upon other herds. His importations 
have been derived from that eminent breeder,the late Titos. 
Bates, Esq., of Kirklevington, Yorkshire, England— 
which herd, it is well known, has recently been disposed 
of at public sale by his administrators, and dispersed in 
many hands, and can no longer he resorted to as a whole 
for improvement. The announcementof that sale, created 
great interest, and all short-horn breeders in England seem¬ 
ed emulous to secure one or more of these animals, to min¬ 
gle with the blood of their own herds; and at the day of 
sale, there was found assembled the largest audience ever 
before witnessed upon a similar occasion, numbering as 
was said, from 4 to 5,IM)0 persons, and among them the host 
breeders in England, and several from other countries, 
some of the animals bringing prices that seemed incredible 
to many. 
In the herd now offered for sale, will beincludcd the im¬ 
ported Bull “ Duke of Wellington” and the premium Bull 
“ Meteor.” These are Bates’ hulls, and their reputation ns 
stock getters is too well known to need any comment, i 
am, however, authorized by Lewis F. Ai.i.en, Esq., of 
Black Rock, one of the most prominent breeders in this 
country, and who has Had ample means offorniinga judg¬ 
ment, to say—“ That in no instance to his knowledge, had 
these two bulls been tired to short-nom cows of oilier herds 
previously imported into the United States, hut what the 
produce was superior in general qualities to such herds.” 
The most of the stock which is now offered for sale, has 
been bred from these two bulls, and the proprietor having a 
young bull more remotely connected with that’portion of 
the herd lie retains, (being about 14 in number) can spare 
these two valauble hulls. There will lie in the stock offer¬ 
ed for sale 0 young bulls from 8 months to about 2 years 
old, in addition to the two named above, and the remainder 
of the stock will he composed of cows, (most of them pos¬ 
sessed of extraordinary milking qualities,) heifers and 
heifer calves. It is believed Hint no herd ofshort-horns has 
ever beetio ficred for sale in this country, exhibiting more of 
the valuable combinations of qualities which contribute to 
make up perfect animals. 
A catalogue containing the pedigrees of these animals, 
will be ready for delivery at an early period, in which the 
terms of the sale will be particularly stated. A credit will 
lie given from 6 to IS months. Gentlemen are invited to 
examine the herd at their convenience. GEO. VAIL.

W r E wish to call the attention of the trade to the fact, 
that we are engaged in a strictly wholesale business 
and that we are the only house in this city whose business 
is confined to the wholesale trade. The senior member of 
our firm spends the business season in the New York mar¬ 
ket, and our entire purchases are made from Importers and 
original holders, front the same sources and upon equally 
favorable terms with those of New York Wholesale Gro¬ 
cers; hence we are enabled to offer all goods in our line at 
prices as low, and upon terms as favorablcas thoscof New 
York Jobbers. We shall at all times have astock on hand 
of new and desirable goods, and guarantee that all poods 
sold by us shall be satisfactory to the purchaser, both in 
quality and price. The location of our store and ware¬ 
houses, immediately upon the Canal, affords us facilities 
not possessed by any other house in the trade in Rochester, 
and enables us to forward goods daily by Canal without 
extra charges for cartage or shipping. GOylso.
