Wary gave a decisive, nod. Mr. Burton 
added a few words, and pronounced them 
mar. and wife. Mary wiped, her <qea and I 
George drew a long; breath. Thegodlrgy- | 
man then made out his marriage corticate I 
to which the witnesses put their mikes; j 
and ended by giving them a few wotiffi of' 
advice. At the same lime, George slipled 
something into his hand, done.up ir?aj,4ce ; 
of white paper. Afterwards, the bride aid I 
bridegroom rode oil in the chaise; the hod--- 
keeper went to the kitchen, laughing; lie ; 
younger Burton returned to'his b »oks, afll j 
the clergyman to his sermon. * J 
As the latter sat down to write, tim-kW j 
all the time of the queer marriage eereinj ! 
ny he had just performed, he listlessly u* I 
folded the bit of paper the bridegn <m ban 
placed in his hands. Perhaps the* ,reach - j

a man liad felt able to pay for Ids maSlLe |

Burton judged that his fee must hesorLy- | 
tiling handsome. It was larger than a ftalft 
eagle—larger even than an eagle. Conk, ;i 
it be a twenty dollar piece? The paper j 
being folded and refolded, it was sometime]! 
before the clergyman could get at tin* coin. I 
His curiosity by this time was considerably {' 
excited. At length he saw something v y j,, 
bright. The sun shone on it. It wat a ! 
new, red— cent! Mr. Burton was a litile } 
disappointed: but laughing at the ludicrous I 
mistake, he locked the cent up in his desk, [I 
and devoted himself to his sermon durinc | 
the remainder of the forenoon.

THE BEST RURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL IN AMERICA!

In typography, illustrations, &c., we hope to su 
, In this, as in other respects, our motto is “ Excels 
P ‘,

VVe’ieall—all here. 
We’re not all here! 
Soro- arc away—the dead ones dear, 
Whothronged with us this ancient hearth. 
And gave the hour of guiltless mirth. 
Fate, wi’i a stern, relentless hand, 
Looked inand thinned our litde band. 
Some like a night flash passed away. 
And some saik lingering day by day. 
The quiet graveyard—some Me there, 
And crut-1 oceai has his share— 
We ’re nit all here. 
To accomplish this object, Time, 
New Type, and other material, paper, &c., 
ill a most attractive ami presentable style, 
our previous efforts, and ail similar journals. 
Each number will be neatly printed, and 
EMBELLISHED WITH BEAUTIFUL AND APPROPRIATE ENGRAVINGS! 
Rut the Contents are most important, and here our greatest care will be bestowed. Guided 
by past experience,—catering for, and stimulated by the approval of increasing thousands of renders — 
the Editors will labor more earnestly than ever before to make the New-Yorker a Reliable Guide 
on the important Practical Subjects discussed in its pages— to fill its miscellaneous departments 
with a choice and interesting variety, and yet keep the entire paper free from anything injurious 
to MIND OR morals. The paper will also be enriched with practical essays and literary articles 
from a large corps of contributors and correspondents, (not unknown to the reading public ) m - \ and 
women of the right stamp, who are capable of adding interest and value to the pages of any publication 
Indeed, we are resolved to spare no reasonable effort to render each number Useful, Pure., Inter¬ 
esting and Attractive — to make the Rural, in truth, 
A MODEL HOME NEWSPAPER, FOR THE MILLION! 
And our readers need not be reminded that we perform all we promise — and generally with interest. 
In order to enhance its value, each of the various Departments of the Rural will receive duo 
care and attention. After filling up the Practical, Instructive and Miscellaneous Pages —in which 
each reader may find something adapted to his or her taste —we shall briefly post up to the moment 
of going to press, 
THE LATEST FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE, 
Including a synopsis of all important events, Congressional Proceedings, and Reports of the Grain 
Provision and Cattle Markets, &c. — thus making it the most complete Agricultural Fam’ii y’ 
Literary and General Newspaper published in this Country. Remember the New Yorker runs 
counter to the trashy, immoral, so-called cheap literary and family papers — that it excludes all 
vulgarity, profanity and quackery—and embraces as great a variety of useful and interesting reading 
matter as is usually given in several ordinary papers. Bear in mind also, that it is not a monthly of 
twelve issues yearly, but y 
A LARGE AND BEAUTIFUL WEEKLY. OF FIFTY-TWO NUMBERS! 
And gives the proceedings at State and County Fairs, : nd similar agricultural intelligence, weeks 
and even months (in some instances.) in advance of the monthly journals. 
In conclusion, our best endeavors will, as heretofore, be devoted to the work of furnishing such 
a paper as will prove acceptable to the progressive, moral, right-thinking portion of community. 
And we again invite all who approve its character and objects, to lend their kind offices by introducing 
the Rural to notice and support in their respective localities. Though our main reliance is upon 
the merits of the paper itself, we oiler in the annexed Premium List, liberal inducements to all 
disposed to aid in extending its circulation. 
MAN AND WOMAN, 
We are alt here: 
liven they—the (leak—tho’ dead, so dear. 
Fond memory, to her duty true, 
Brings hack their faded forms to view, 
llow life-like, through Hv? mist of years. 
Each well-remembered face appears; 
We see them as in limes loug past, 
From each to each kind look - are cast; 
We hear their words, their smiles behold, 
The'-' ’re round us as they were of old— 
We are all here. 
’ Man is the creature of interest and am¬ 
bition. His nature leads him forth into 
‘l ie struggle and bustle of the world. Love 
i:,but the embellishment of his early life, 
ora song piped in the intervals of the acts. 
He seeks for fame, for fortune, for place in 
the" Grid's thought, and dominion over his 
fallow men. But a woman’s whole life is a 
i'i-.-Ln v of the affections. The heart is her 
world”; iJs there her ambition strives for 
■ mpire; it is there her avarice seeks for 
hidden treasures. She sends forth her 
sympathies on adventure; she embarks her 
whole soul in de traffic of affection; and if 
shipwrecked, lu r case is hopeless—for it is 
bankruptcy of he heart.— Irving. 
We are all here! 
Father, mother, 
Sister, brother— 
You that I love with love so dear. 
This may not long of us be said: 
Soon must we join the gathered dead, 
And by the hearth we now sit round, 
Some other circle will be found. 
Oli, then, that wisdom may we know, 
That yields a life of peace below; 
So, in the world to follow this, 
May each repeat iii words of bliss. 
We ’re all—all here.

anguish, ahPtyve pone to that home of 
i ever-ending Bliss and happiness. God

November, 1851. Address I). D. 'F. MOORE, Rochester 
A young clergyman sat in his study, 
( composing a sermon. It was a bright spring 
morning, and in order to concentrate his 
’ thoughts on the subject of the discourse he 
[ was writing, Mr. Burton was obliged to 
/ close the window blinds, and shut out the 
j : beauty of nature, which to him was most 
si' atfrn -ive*. In an obscure light, his pen 
I' v-v:: beginning to move quite rapidly, when 
ihgAviiAu Mew his blinds open, ambient 
jh hi j manuscript fluttering across the flom 
r Tne sunlight gushed in, and at the Sami¬ 
s' time, Mr. Burton’s ideas flew out. 
He turned his chair and looked out of 
j; the window. Beauty charmed his eye, 
j s and the music of singing birds fell on his 
\ ear. Nature, at that moment, appeared 
| considerably more attractive than Theolu- 
! gy. The green leaves of the trees caused 
him to forget the leaves of his manuscript. 
; The plumage of the birds made him dish; 
j j gusted with his gray goosaquill. Yet Mr. 
< Burton felt that he ought to labor that 
I c morning. 
In casting about him to find an excuse 
h for his idleness, he saw a chaise drive down 
the street, and*stop before his own duore.— 
l A good looking, plainly dressed young man 
< helped out a graceful, pretty girl, and they 
/ mounted the steps together. Mr. Burton 
s heard the door bell ring, and presently a 
l domestic came to inform him that a young 
( gentleman and lady wished to see him on 
( business. 
“ A marriage, I am sure,” 
$ clergyman, smiling. 
He was not mistaken. The young man, 
j in a frank, off-hand manner, told him that 
\ he had called for the purpose of being mar- 
) ried to his companion; and the girl’s blushes 
j told the same story. 
“Very well,” said Mr. Burton, “I am 
s always ready to make young people happy. 
; You love each other?” 
> “ yp e woniq wa it a day or two if we did 
> not.” replied the youth. 
' His companion blushed again. 
“ Have you witnesses ?” asked the cler- 
( gyman. 
\ “ We are not rich,” answered the bride- 
\ groom, “ and could not afford the expense 
J of bringing any of our friends with us. If 
< you think we had better have witnesses 
( perhaps you will call in somebody.” 
J “ It will be well to do so,” said” the cler- 
! gyman smiling. 
\ He called in a younger brother and the 
( housekeeper. 
< “ We are in something of a hurry,” said 
< the bridegroom, '' ~
