To hear Smith talk, lie must have been too knowing a man to be imposed upon by 
a good deal of a man in York State, al- the apothecaries, the allopathists, and min- 
though he never made anything there. He eral doctors; he had seen enough of saliva- 
knew all the big men of the state “ like a tion, and imagined a touch of mercury was 
doing a job in his own bones from the way 
they suffered, taken when he was a child! 
He had heard too that Napoleon expressed 
an opinion unfavorable to the regular pro¬ 
fession. Other great men, too, had regard¬ 
ed the science as nothing more than a 
“bundle of learned trash.” It was a part 
of his philosophy, that nature had furnish¬ 
ed some weed or root, some vegetable spe¬ 
cific for every ailment of the mortal frame. 
One would have thought, if his belief was 
(rue, that the ancient alchemists, searching 
after an universal remedy, were only on the 
wrong track, and failed in the discovery by 
seeking in the bowels of the earth, among 
salts, earth and minerals, instead of the 
roots and herbs of creation. Nature was 
wise, and provident, and perfect, and being 
acquainted with all diseases, had not neg¬ 
lected so important a matter as a specific, 
and of course it was a vegetable—of course 
it was! 
Well, the doctor came, counted the heads 
of the complaining ones —all he wanted 
was the number, the prescription was the 
same, a stereotyped edition of the same 
articles—and he steeped up his drugs ac¬ 
cordingly. And such a mess ! Such a 
quantity of boiling roots, and weeds, and 
leaves! worthy the anathemas of Basil Val¬ 
entine, and fit subject for the pious exhor¬ 
tations of that reverend -father of mineral 
medicine, preaching from his “ Triumphal 
Car of Antimony!” 
Smith was encouraged. The doctor 
promised wonders—miracles—in the way 
of cure and sudden restoration to perfect 
health. The bowl went round ; each one 
took the allotted draught, and the doctor 
staved to see the operation. And such an 
J , • I :l; % % 
operation! 
But they all lived through it—and so did 
the disease! The doctor was dismissed, 
and Smith abandoned himself to cursing, in 
his heart, the country, the water, the dis¬ 
ease, and to following the advice of his 
friends, who thought jt always best to “wear 
it out.” Weeks passed on, and found the 
Smiths still shaking, and wearing out the 
disease. It was indeed a pitiful sight to 
see the little Smiths, during the intermis¬ 
sion of the malady, toddling round, with 
their abdominal regions vastly enlarged 
with “ ague cakes,” cheeks sallow as with¬ 
ered pumpkin rinds, eyes injected full of 
bile “yellow as the harvest moon” —all hun¬ 
gry, ravenous as crows, and scarcely any¬ 
thing to eat. 
The winter came, and Smith, satisfied 
that there was nothing to be made at farm¬ 
ing in this country, determined to sell out, 
and he did sell—sold his claim for “ Wild 
Cat” funds, and was bound to go back as 
soon as spring opened, to the stormy hills 
and healthy springs of “ old Herkimer.” — 
Though he knew he never could make any 
thing there at farming, he could have health, 
and that was a prize beyond price! 
But before spring came, Smith’s funds 
were worthless—worse than rags, and he 
had no means to return ! But the disease 
had left him, he had “worn it out” —he 
felt nearly well—his family had recovered 
— and the spring came bounding on, so joy¬ 
ous, so glad, and so luxuriant, that indeed, 
Smith would have been loth to leave the 
land! But what should he do ? He had 
lost his claim, and the best localities were 
all occupied by the press of emigration! 
One summer he worked out by the day— 
but did’nt make any thing at that! The next, 
he rented of a neighbor, but certainly, he 
said at the close of the season, no man 
could make any thing at farming on the 
shares—that any body might know, and he 
could demonstrate. The truth was, a man 
must own the soil to make any tiling at 
farming—that was the secret of success, 
and the reason of his poor success! Smith 
acted upon this hypothesis and succeeded 
in pre-empting eighty acres which had been 
abandoned by some one, still more discour¬ 
aged and unfortunate than Smith, and lo¬ 
cated again for permanent improvements. 
But it was an up-hill business all the way, 
and difficult for any one hut Smith to ac¬ 
count for! 
Years rolled on ; Smith worked hard ; 
his crops were good, and every thing seem¬ 
ed prosperous. Every year Smith thought 
he should be be able to secure his title that 
fall ; but when his crops came off and he 
had paid his expenses—store bills made 
liberally, building and fencing outlays, and 
laid in for winter—he never found himself 
in a situation to meet the entire demand. 
Poor Smith! when could he raise the mo¬ 
ney? Every thing was depressed—mer¬ 
chants were failing and big men were hard 
up. Or.e hope for Smith! The county had 
been organized! Smith had taken an ac¬ 
tive part in politics, was on a vigilance com¬ 
mittee, and a delegate to every convention! 
A branch bank had been established in the 
district. The bank attorney and pet law¬ 
yer w r as to be a candidate for Congress. 
Smith applied. The attorney drew a deed 
of trust of Smith’s farm, interested himself 
wonderfully for Smith ; the bank discount¬ 
ed ; Smith got his money, and got his deed, 
and the attorney was elected to Congress. 
But, alass! again. The next season, and 
the wheat crop was a total failure through¬ 
out the country! The times grew harder. 
Smith had made positively nothing at farm¬ 
ing. The attorney had no mercy for Smith; 
in fact, he became a Tyler man, and got an 
appointment in the land office for the 
change. Smith was sold out, and more 
fully satisfied than ever that there “was 
nothing to be made at farming,” gathered 
together the remnants, with all the addi¬ 
tional Smiths fallen to his share of the 
great family of mankind ; and the last 1 
heard of him, was on his way west, in 
search of a better country!— Condensed

THE LAST APPENDIX TO YANKEE DOODLE 
Yankee Doodle sent to town 
His goods for exhibition ; 
Everybody ran him down, 
And laughed al his position— 
They thought him all the world behind ; 
A goney, muff, or noodle ; 
Laugh on, good people—never mind— 
Says quiet Yankee Doodle. 
Chorus—Yankee Doodle, Ac. 
Yankee Doodle had a craft, 
A rather tidy clipper, 
And he challenged, while they laughed. 
The Britishers to whip her. 
Their whole yacht squadron she outsped. 
And that on their own water: 
Of all the lot she went ahead, 
And they came nowhere arter. 
Chorus—Yankee Doodle, Ac. 
O’er Panama there was a scheme 
Long talked of, to pursue a 
Short route—which many thought a dream— 
By Lake Nicaragua. 
John Bull discussed the plan on foot, 
With slow irresolution, 
While Yankee Doodle went and put 
It into execution. 
Chorus—Yankee Doodle, Ac. 
A steamer of the Collins line, 
A Yankee Doodle’s notion. 
Has also quickest cut the brine, 
Across the Atlantic Ocean. 
And British agents, no ways slow 
Her merits to discover, 
Have been and bought her—just to tow 
The Cunard packets over! 
Chorus—Yankee Doodle, Ac. 
Your gunsmiths of their skill may crack, 
But that again don’t mention ; 
I guess that Colt’s revolvers whack 
Their very first invention. 
By Yankee Doodle, too, your beat 
Downright in agriculture, 
With his machine for reaping wheat, 
Chaw’d up, as by a vulture. 
Chorus—Yankee Doodle, &c. 
You also fancied in your pride, 
Which truly is tarnation, 
Those British locks of your’n defied 
The rogues of all creation ; 
But Chubbs’ and Bramah’s Hobbs has pick’d, 
And you must now be view’d all 
As having been completely lick’d 
By glorious Yankee Doodle. 
Chorus—Yankee Doodl?, &c. 
IT TAKES THE “VIMIN.” 
The two daily papers in Elmira have 
been firing “ paper bullets of the brain” at 
each other, for some days past, with much 
severity. Mrs. C. M. Burr, assistant edi¬ 
tress of the Karlon, became entangled in 
the contest, and received some pretty harsh 
raps from Mr. Fairman, of the Republican. 
As an offset to this, Mrs. Burr sent a little 
gem to the Republican for insertion, over a 
fictitious name, of course—entitled the 
“Death of Summer.” Fairman nabbed at 
the bait—the poetic gem was set before 
his readers, and it proved to be an acrostic 
—the initial letters reading, “Long live 
Fairman, Prince of Asses, Amen /” There 
never was much gained by quarreling with 
a woman, no matter in what light you view 
it.— Republican Era. 
“ Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt; 
Nothing’s so hard, but search will find it out.”

every reason for believing, most accurate to be obtained on 
the subject.”—[N. Y. Evangelist. 
“ A concise Manual of the kind here presented has long 
been wanted, and we will venture to say, that should this 
volume be carefully studied and acted upon by our indus¬ 
trious farmers, the quantity of fruit in tbe State would be 
doubled in five years, and the quality, too, greatly improv¬
