HONOR TO THE PLOW. 
Though clouds o’crcast our native sky, 
And seem to dim the sun, 
We will not down in languor lie, 
Or deem the day is done; 
The rural arts we loved before. 
No less we’ll cherish now; 
And crown the banquet as of yore, 
With Honor to the Plow. 
In these fair fields, whose peaceful spoil 
To faith and hope are given, 
We’ll seek the prize with honest toil, 
And leave the rest to Heaven. 
We'll gird us to the work like men 
Who own a holy vow, 
And if in joy we meet again, 
Give Honor to the Plow. 
Let Art, arrayed in magic power, 
With labor, hand in hand, 
Go forth, and now, in peril's hour, 
Sustain a sinking land. 
Let never sloth unnerve the arm, 
Or fear the spirit cow, 
These words alone should work a charm,— 
All Honor to the Plow. 
The heath redress, the meadow drain, 
The latent swamp explore, 
And o’er the long expecting plain 
Diffuse the quickening store! 
Then fearless urge the furrow deep, 
Up to the mountain’s brow, 
And, when the rich results you reap, 
Give Honor to the Plow. 
So still shall health by pastures green 
And nodding harvest roam, 
And still behind her rustic screen 
Shall virtue find a home; 
And while their bower the Muses build 
Beneath the neighboring bough, 
Shall many a grateful verse be filled, 
With Honor to the Plow.

MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YO RKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
[ Written for Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. J 
THE WESTERN FEVER. 
BY W. H. GARDNER. 
A fe Z JGAi'3 since a fever of a strange 
description’ ^ rok e ^ ufc in this vicinity, and 
being very contagious, it jwead with alarm¬ 
ing rapidity. was affected by father, 
and father by sc'ib friend by fn>d, and 
neighborhood, by neighborhood, untn the 
greater part of our agricultural population ^ 
wore stricken by the disease, and many— 
in some cases, whole families at a time— 
were carried off by it. Farms were sold, 
improvements ceasod, business closed, and 
and all things became deranged by this af¬ 
fliction. My presont object is not to follow 
and describe the general course of the dis¬ 
ease, but to narrate its effects upon a singlo 
family—to give one case from among the 
many of my acquaintance, all very similar 
in character. 
Upon the rugged but fortilo hills of Steu¬ 
ben, lived a family consisting of the hus¬ 
band, wife, and three interesting children. 
The father was a farmer in good circum¬ 
stances, and surrounded by long-loved ob¬ 
jects pertaining to his calling as a tiller of 
the soil. His farm had been wrested by 
him from the rugged wilderness—by him 
had been deprived of its original covering 
of gigantic forest trees, and as one by one 
the sturdy maples, beeches, and hemlocks 
were made to tremble in tho air, and finally 
fall crashing to tho earth, a love was created 
in his heart and strengthened by his labor, 
for his home, that, it would seem, no time 
could efface. And when, with tho aid of 
firo, ho had cleared broad fertile acres of 
thoir original growth, and saw reflecting 
the bright sunlight, wide fields of luxuriant 
grain and grass, is it not natural that he 
should prido himself over his conquest, and 
glory in tho victory his hands had won ?— 
And thus it was; ho labored cheerfully, and 
plenty was the reward of his industry. The 
love of his farm and his home deepened in 
his heart, while, almost unnoticed by him, 
—nature and art assisting—they grew in 
value and beauty. Tho same hand of na¬ 
ture, the same sunshine and rain, which 
warmed, nourished and stimulated the 
growth of his grains and grassos, also gave 
luxuriance to his fruit and ornamental trees. 
Thus situated was our hero, and thu B 
boundless was his comfort, both present and 
prospective, whon the western fever, of 
which I have spoken, broke out in his neigh¬ 
borhood. From a brother near by, (who 
was suddenly carriod off by it,) ho caught 
tho infection, and though not immediate in 
its workings, it continued to rankle in his 
breast, producing a continued feeling of 
discontent, apparently impossible to over¬ 
come. No longer did his eye dwell with 
tho samo satisfaction as formerly, upon tho 
improvements which nature and art were 
achieving around him. His pride of con¬ 
quest was gone, and his abundant crops 
were looked upon as pigmy productions of 
the soil, when seen through a scale gradu¬ 
ated by the imagined fertility of the prai¬ 
ries at the west, of exceeding luxuriance 
and ease of tillage. 
“ Then fancy her magical pinions spread wide—" 
seeing nought inviting at home, but away, far 
away, showing plainly the most unexampled 
prosperity — the most unequalod beauty, 
and a home, whore happiness more than 
earthly, was wont to dwell. Thus, ere its 
victim dreamed of such a calamity, had tho 
fever seized upon him and gained posses¬ 
sion, paralyzing his resolves of farm im¬ 
provement, and leaving him in peace only, 
when, after counseling with his companion, 
who had also becomo afflicted with tho 
disease, ho decided to sell his farm—disposo 
of his personal property, and help to build 
up this mighty republic by extending its 
cultivated domain in the far wost. 
This decision once arrived at, and our 
hero was far from retracting, even if tho 
rosplvo had been made unaided by a highly 
excited mind, such as was his at tho time; 
for his fever was raging with renewed and 
constantly increasing strength. Letters of 
inquiry were dispatched, and tho answers 
received rendered still stronger his disease, 
and more feeblo the hope of his recovery. 
Frionds visited and advised, but no good 
was effected, and every idle tale or high 
wrought descriptive advertisement of wes¬ 
tern lands, which at other times would 
scarce bo credited, were now believed and 
dwelt upon with interest. 
Thus passed his time away, “long months 
of torture,” while waiting to effect his pur¬ 
pose. Finally a sale of his farm was mado, 
and a transient gleam of happiness—the first 
for months—entered his heart. Ilis plans 
for a removal were now rapidly completed, 
but as one article after another was disposed 
of, ancf removed from him, and his old home 
began to wear a desolate look, a feeling of 
home-sickness came over him. Thought, too, 
was busy—sober thought—the fever which 
had now so nearly done its work, had spent 
its forco, leaving its victim in a state of do- 
plorablo weakness. Tho beautiful green 
hill tops in view of his long loved home— 
tho many familiar objects, and the privileges 
of which ho was about to deprivo himself 
and his loved ones, were now cloarly seen. 
Old friends, too, were thought of, and tho 
wondor expressed in tho heart, whether 
they should find as kind ones in their new 
home. All theso thoughts wero busy, and 
a thousand unseen griefs wero braved, of 
which they had not dreainod, and which 
h a d not been taken into tho calculation 
when .resolving to remove. 
But tiuoe sped on—only a week remained 
to thorn—Tarowell visits were given, and 
this timo -was nearly gone. Tho day—tho 
hour of their departure was fixed — Oh! 
how strong voices trembled then, and big 
tears gathered in tho eye, and wishful re¬ 
grots in the heart—as to their moro distant 
friends tho parting hand was extended— 
tho farewell spoken—the last look given.— 
But timo sped on. and only a narrow circle 
of friends remaine d to bo seen—tho pack¬ 
ing of goods in prog ress was completed— 
leaving about tho old /arm liouso no look of 
home—no show of com/ort. 
I was young then, but how well can I re¬ 
member,—tho old dog, finding no placo of 
quiet for reposo, walked rosti ossly about— 
the children stood ready with caps, hood, and 
cloaks on, for a start. Finally all >vere ready, 
and they passed—somo of them, at loast— 
out, through that well known doou for the 
last time. Tho children were thoughtlessly 
sad—tho mother, oh, how deep herfoeh'ngs as 
she wended her way to tho wagon and\seat- 
cd herself with her husband. Sho had 
passed through many trials in parting from 
loved objects since their decision of remova 1, 
but this last parting from her home was tho 
most severe. 1’ or tho last timo sho cast3 
her eye about tho yard, upon tho many 
plants which sho has cared for, and watered, 
and then, giving a last look—a last look, 
too, forever, at tho old homo, sho sinks low 
in her seat and is relieved by tears. 
Tho father who until now had been busied 
in seeing that all was right, looked about, 
and at a glance, his eye took in so many of 
tho beauties—so many of tho loved objects 
of his home, that dospite his resolve to bid 
it good byo with a light hoart, his voice 
trembled, his chin quivered, and his eyos 
filled with tears. And why should not this 
} )0 go ?_wero they more heartless than the 
brute creation, that they could leave an old 
home and not be affected ? The liouso of a 
sister received them, where thoy stopped 
until tho following Monday, tho day ap¬ 
pointed for starting-. The Sabbath, as usual, 
they attended church, and for the last time 
gazed upon long familiar faces — parting 
adieus wore again spoken, perhaps novor 
to be repeated. 
Monday morning came—tho stage which 
was to convey them a short distance on their 
way, stood at the door, and thoy must start. 
Two families are beside the old coach, that 
are dear to each other, and farewells are 
spoken from eldest to youngest. Again tho 
silent representative of grief is in the eye 
_even sobs are heard—thoy are seated in 
in the stage and it bears them away. For 
miles each object is recognized—each face 
is familiar, but at length the last well-known back another step, and over he too went,on TO AGENTS AND OTK.tiiR.Si
