MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YOR KER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND EAMILY JOURNAL. 
BOYHOOD’S WOES, 
If childhood be the happiest time, 
As oft I've read in flowery rhyme. 
And primary schools are reckoned “prime,” 
It was otherwise far with me. 
>Twas a river of tears, and a fores! of birch-, 
The Primer for years required research. 
Ere volatile Thought was forced to perch 
On the alphabetical tree. 
The teacher tall was a maiden slim; 
The light of the hall was dismally dim; 
Her ferules slim, inquisitors grim, 
Were viewed with juvenile terror; 
With anxious heart I hurried to school, 
While yesterday’s whipping was hardly cool, 
For the ruler ruled—a terrible rule— 
For ev’ry primer-tive error. 
But greater trials were yet in store; 
While studying geographical lore, 
Which proved to be a horrible bore, 
Though soothed with Solomon’s oil. 
The Ho-ang-Ho and Kyan-Ku, 
To me, were towns on the Timbuctoo, 
Where mountainous scenery charmed the view. 
And a very salubrious soil. 
And then there came arithmetic dread; 
Grammatical rules, as heavy as lead, 
Were heaped with agony on my head, > 
Till it throbbed and throbbed again. 
To spoil the rod, and pity the child. 
By all was deemed a sentiment wild. 
And all esteemed a discipline mild 
Heretical doctrine, then. 
When boyish quarrels were settled in fight. 
Be battered and bruised however we might, 
It seemed to give the teacher delight 
To whip us again at school; 
Though hands would smart, and torture impart, 
Our pride, forbidding the tears to start, 
With anger’s dart would poison the heart 
’Gainst abedarian rule. 
To whip a boy, as you punish a beast, 
Is surely unwise, to call it the least, 
And doesn’t encourage to Reason’s feast, 
Or help the march of mind; 
Dispense with blows you certainly can; 
A kindly word is the happiest plan 
For making the Boy a generous Man— 
A noble, intelligent kind. J. E. O. 
-Knickerbocker. 
Aj\ t incident of the revolution. 
“Silence, gentlemen, silence! the wine tl 
has made you noisy,” replied Gen. Howe, h 
rising from the table, and ordering the ser- P 
van to admit the visitor immediately. tl 
Most of the young officers were on the ° 
feet, and all eyes were turned to the en- 11 
trance as Sarah Easton advanced —her deep 
mourning rendered her pale features al- 8 
most ghostly, and her crape veil thrown s ! 
back so as to display her white forehead, Sj 
and eyes touchingly sweet in their expres- b 
sion, even whiie resting on Ihe form of him a 
who had made her heart desolate. Not a 8 
word was spoken by the group that sur- ^ 
rounded the dinner table; the merry smile u 
was quenched in the warm lips of each 
gay individual as he looked on the young 
American, who stood before them in the w 
beautiful majesty of her grief. Howe ad- '' 
vanced with stately politeness to receive b 
her, but she shrank from his approach, and a 
with steady dignity requested tiie body of 
Nathan Hale for Christian burial. 
Howe was evidently surprised at the na- a 
ture of the petition, but courteously an- 11 
swered that it could not be granted, Cap- u 
tain Howe having already been buried three s * 
days. . _ ^ 
“ Yet surely he might be disinterred!” 11 
persisted she, eagerly stepping forward— 1 
then seeing denial in his look, she added 
beseechingly, “you will not refuse his old U 
parents a last look on the face of their son; 01 
if you are a father you cannot be so cruel- b 
ly deaf to humanity.” ^ 
“ Are you the sister or the wife of the 111 
deceased, that you thus urgently ask for s( 
his remains?” ai 
“Neither, oh neither!” replied the tor d 
lured girl, pressing her hands over her eyes 
to hide the burst of tears the question had w 
unlocked. ol 
A young officer pitying her distress, han¬ 
ded her a chair, yfie sat down, and was ln 
endeavoring to check the untimely tears, bl 
when another advanced—a thing of laced 
scarlet and huge epaulettes—and, touching n 
her white neck with the tip of his insolent tr 
finger, demanded “ if she were neither the tc 
wife nor the sister of the handsome spy, 
what else could she be unless it were a ^ 
sweetheart!” 
The blood flashed into the marble cheeks S 
the very picture of stern grief, the moon¬ 
light displaying the still lineaments of his 
pale face as he grasped with both of his, 
the large white hand extended to assist him 
on shore. The boatman followed, and Sa¬ 
rah was left alone. 
It was a fearful half hour to the poor 
girl, with the waves moaning like unquiet 
spirits about her, and the dread sound of 
shovelling earth and muffled voices coming 
from the distance. She dared not look 
after the three as they went towards the 
“ Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt; 
Nothing’s so hard, but search will find it out.”

Pumps. 
T HE inventor after thoroughly testing his engine pump 
(for the past two years.) feels confident that it is not 
equalled by any thing now in market, in the way of rais¬ 
ing or forcing water—the motion beingrotary, the stream is 
constant, without the aid of an air vessel. The packing 
is self-adjusting, very durable, and cannot well get out of 
order. 
These pumps are well calculated for all the purposes for 
which pumps or hydrants may be used, viz., Factories, 
Steamboats, Tanneries, Breweries, Distilleries, Railroad, 
Water Stations, Hotels, Mines, Garden Engines, &.c. The 
highest testimonials will be given. 
No. 1 is a itouse or well pump and domestic Fire En¬

BUBHALL’S NEW REAPER. 
A T tiie late State Fair at Syracuse, the First Premium ) 
was jukarded Mr. Burrat.l for the Best Grain 
Reaper, in competition with Hussey’s and McCormick's 
(both present.) Since that time it has been improved ia < 
many respects, and is now. unquestionably, the best ma¬ 
chine for the purpose before the public. It was thoroughly 
tested the last season in the same field with Hussey’s and ) 
McCormick’s and pronounced by all present far superior to 
either. 
It is so geared that it runs light, can he driven either slow 
or fast, and cuts either wet, green, grassy or lodged wheat 
withoutclogging. These are linportantqualities in aReap- 
er, as all know who have been bothered in the use of tiie ) 
Hussey and other Reapers, from a lack of these qualities. 
The manner of raising and lowering the apron and 
throwing the machine in and out of gear, are also improve¬ 
ments; hut without particularizing further, we would say 
that, having been interested the last two years in the sale 
of the II ussey Reaper, we know its good and bad qualities 
—and having had considerable acquaintance with other < 
Reapers, we can point out the difference between the , 
Burrall Reaper and others, and show wherein the Burrall ) 
Reaper is superior. ( 
All who are thinking of purchasing Reapers are invited ; 
to call at our store and examine the machine and iiear 
what we have to say in regard to Reapers generally. The ) 
Reaper is warranted, and will be put to work forthe pur- 1 
chaser by us, if desired, free of charge, if we do not have 
too far to go. ( 
We have the exclusive sale of them in this city, and sell ) 
at tiie manufacturers prices adding transportation.
