MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YO RKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
Ketchum’s Patent Mowing Machine 
Howard & Co., Proprietors and Manufacturers, 
Buffalo, N. Y. 
T HIS justly celebrated Machine is rapidly advancing in 
public favor, for its simplicity, durability, and efficien¬ 
cy, and it lias settled the question beyond a doubt, that 
grass can be cut by Horse rorver equally as well, and at 
much less expense, than with the scythe; for during the 
past season live hundred of these Machines were sold by 
us, and were universally approved of by those who used 
them. It leaves the grass evenly spread, and requires no 
turning to cure perfectly. The Report of the Committee 
of the State Agricultural Society, at tiie late trial at Gene¬ 
va, shows fully and conclusively that this was the only ma¬ 
chine in the field which worked without clogging, or any 
interruption, and the only Machine which successfully cut 
the two acres required by the Committee, cutting the same 
in one hour and twenty-six minutes, doing its work ad¬ 
mirably and in a far better manner than can lie done by 
manual labor witli the scythe. They also show in that 
Report that there is an actual saving of $13 per day by the 
use of this machine over hand labor. We have only to 
refer those who’wish a perfect mowing machine to said 
Report, and judge for themselves. 
This Machine received last fall the First Premium at the 
late trial at Springfield in Ohio; the Gold medal at the 
American Institute in New York: also the First Premium 
at the great Provincial Fair at Toronto, C. W. 
They are so compact that one of them can easily be car¬ 
ried in an ordinary one horse wagon, and so very simple 
that it requires no machinist to put them together, as there 
are but two bolts (besides the pole holts) to be secured, to 
have the Machine ready for use, which does not require 
over ton minutes time. They weigh about 750 lbs:, and 
can be worked by any boy who can manage a team. 
The great difficulty in Mowing Machines is their liability 
to clog, and thereby render them inefficient. Rut, tins 
difficulty lias been entirely overcome in this Machine by 
atpeculiar construction of the knives, which renders them 
impossible to clog. A notlier great advantage of this Ma¬ 
chine over all others (which we have secured by Letters 
Patent) is the placing the knives on a line with the shaft, 
or tread of the wlieej, ( or nearly so,) which allows the 
knives to follow, with the wheel, the unevenness of the 
ground. Also, that the vibrations of the frame on uneven 
ground shall not materially elevate or depress the cutters. 
All the improvements suggested by experience and use 
necessary for strength, durability, efficiency, and ease of 
action, have now been made, and wo offer them for sale 
under the following 
Warranty : That said Machines are capable of cut¬ 
ting and spreading with one span ofhorses and driver, from 
ten to fifteen acres per day, of tut ykind of grass, heavy or 
light, wet or dry, and do it as well as can bo done with a 
scythe, by the best of mowers. They are equally capable 
of cutting Barley, Buckwheat, Millet, &c. 
It is mucli less trouble to keep the knives in order than 
a scythe, as farmers frequently cut from ten to fifteen acres 
without sharpening, which can be done on an ordina.iy 
grindstone in a few minutes. We can give any reference 
required for the full performance of our Machine as above 
stated. 
Orders should he sent in early, as wo shall manufacture 
hut a limited number. The price of our Machine, inclu¬ 
ding two sets of knives, extra knife blades and wrench, is 
$110 cash, in Buffalo, the Machine to be delivered on 
board of boat or cars free of charge. Office and shop, cor¬ 
ner of Chicago street and Hamburgh Canal, near Eastern

pleasant communication sho was compellod 
to make, till they should meet again ; ho 
shall be happy at least one opening, thought 
she. Drying her tears, she took his arm 
and strolled through tho grove—followed at 
a respectful distance by the old servant, 
Edward for a time forgot his bereavement 
in the certainty of being loved. Miss Snow¬ 
den too forgot the insurmountable obstacles 
which would prevent their union, when she 
felt his eyes resting on her in perfect con¬ 
fidence and love. 
There are some brief moments in our ex¬ 
istence when this woifla seems an Eden with 
all its pristine beauty and purity — the path 
boforo us strewed with roses — moments in 
which we forgot that “roses have thorns,” or 
that even a poisonous reptile may lie con¬ 
cealed beneath the voilet leaves. 
The servant advanced and reminded her 
mistress that it was time to return, and tho 
lovers bent their steps homeward. 
Concealed bohind a clump of tho white 
blossemed haw, was the wife of Edward’s 
relative. Sho had seen him put a note into 
tho hand of the servant, and heard tho re¬ 
quest to deliver it to Miss Snowden. Her 
curiosity was aroused; she watched his steps 
and followed him to tho grove, whero she 
witnessed the interview between Edward 
and Miss Snowden, whom she regarded with 
such feelings as little minds aro apt to in¬ 
dulge towards their superiors. Full of 
malice, she left the grove, sought the quar¬ 
ters of a slave, and bade him go directly and 
tell his master whero ho could find his 
daughter, and ivho was her companion,— 
well knowing where that master was most 
vulnerable.

every word and look, and to know that one 
being could love and sympathize with me in 
this hour of desolation, would relieve my 
heart of half its load of sorrow. He in¬ 
stantly determined, as soon as circumstan¬ 
ces would permit, that he would visit his 
native place, which was in the neighborhood 
of Snowdon Manor. 
Tho persons whom Mr. Wells had select¬ 
ed as his executors were summoned, and the 
will duly opened; when it was found that 
of tho ample fortune of which Mr. Wells 
was once possessed, a bare competence re¬ 
mained, which was to bo equally divided be¬ 
tween Edward and a distant relative. Mem¬ 
oranda of numerous donations to charitable 
institutions, and large sums of money lent, 
were found among his papers ; therefore no 
surprise was created at the diminution of 
his fortune. 
Spring was yot in its early beauty, when 
Edward mounted a beautiful bay pony, the 
gift of his kind patron, and set out on his 
intended journey. Arrived at his birth¬ 
place, his first visit was to tho grave of his 
mother — and though no stone marked tho 
spot, tho evergreens which his little hands 
had planted, flourished in wild luxuriance. 
His father and old teacher had long been 
dead. Without seeing any of his childish 
associates, ho bent his stops towards Snow¬ 
den Manor. 
Snowden Manor once boasted many broad 
and luxuriant acres, and some of its former 
proprietors had lived in almost princely 
splendor. At this time tho estate was di¬ 
minished in extent, tho stately mansion was 
fast falling to decay, and the wholo place 
presented an air of dilapidation that pain¬ 
fully indicated the waning fortunes of the 
family. It so happened that a relative of 
Edward’s was overseer of Mr. Snowden’s 
estate. By his invitation Edward concluded 
to make his houso a temporary resting placo. 
This cousin, a little man of forty, had re¬ 
cently married a young and ignorant girl. 
She received our hero with a vulgar stare, 
but seemed disposed to make his visit agree¬ 
able. Having dispatched a servant with a 
note to Miss Snowden, informing her of the 
death of Mr. Wells, and bogging permission 
to wait upon her, ho seated himself in tho 
little parlor allotted to his use, and awaitod 
in trembling impatience tho answer to his 
missive. 
Since Miss Snowden’s visit to her aunt’s 
sho seemed much changed; her former 
amusements, with tho exception of novel¬ 
reading, wore abandoned. Sho was often 
melancholy and abstracted, and preferred a 
solatary walk to gay company. Her father 
sometimes marvelled at this, but as she 
seemed more solicitous than ever for his 
happiness, it passed without further notice. 
When her brother’s noisy companions in¬ 
dulged in their revels, she could not help 
contrasting their lives with tho guileloss one 
of him whose name had never passed her 
lips, but who was seldom absont from her 
thoughts. Her joy was unbounded when 
sho learned that ho was in tho vicinity, tho’ 
well aware that his request to call upon her 
could not bo complied with. She at onco 
formed a plan to procure an interview with 
her lover, quite in accordance with her ro¬ 
mantic character. She answered his note 
by saying she was at present engaged, but 
would meet him at evening in the Elm grove 
that skirted the estate. Thither sho re¬ 
paired at the appointed time, accompanied 
by an old female slave who had lived in the 
capacity of nurse in tho family. 
On her way there Julia thought she would 
inform him of the opposition he must ex¬ 
pect to meet with, open a secret corres¬ 
pondence, and bid him trust to time and 
circumstances for a favorable issue. When 
she arrived at the grove, she found Edward 
already awaiting her. After the first emo¬ 
tions of joy had subsided, Edward spoke of 
tho recent affliction that had deprived him 
of his only friend. “ When in tho desolation 
of my heart,” said he, “ the future seemed 
Written for the Rural New-Yorker. 
THE VOICE OF SPRING. 
BY ELLEN ELIZABETH MACK. 
“ Go forth, gentle maid, ’tis for thee I bring 
My sweetest treasures—the flowers of spring! 
My balmy breath, the wakening breeze, 
As it fans the hilis and waves the trees, 
Shall give to thy cheek, the tint of the rose, 
Where the god of health shall in beauty repose. 
“ Go forth, young man, in thy beauty and pride, 
And breathe the free air of the rough mountain side ; 
List to my music and join in-the song, 
Zephyrs and streamlets will bear it along— 
Thy step is elastic, thy spirit is free, 
And thy heart shall he light, if thou wander with me. 
“ Go forth, old man, with the footstep weak, 
With the eye-sight dim, and the wrinkled cheek; 
Go forth! for again to the gladdened earth 
Has the Spring returned, with its joy and mirth, 
And say not, ‘ I never shall greet thee again, 
For in Heaven, thy home, I eternally reign 1’ ” 
Barre, N. Y., 1853. 
sequently universal peace and happiness 
will prevail, good men in all ages have bo- 
liev e d—and the interest that pervades the 
public mind in regard to universal education 
is tho surest evidence that the timo may in¬ 
deed come. 
“ In the world with which you will soon 
mingle, I foresee from your inexperience, 
that you will bo liable to meet with many 
disappointments — you will look upon the 
world rather as it should bo, than as it is.— 
Youth is unsuspecting and confiding, and 
that precious confidence we might always 
retain, were it not too often repaid by 
treachery. But, my son, I am aware that 
there are disappointments in life that may 
for a time palsy our energios, and render life 
itself an undesire.d boon. You know my 
history, and should it evor bo your unhappy 
fate to bo the victim of a similar disappoint¬ 
ment, I warn you not to yield to its paralyz¬ 
ing influence. Keep your mind usefully 
and actively employed, and endeavor to sub¬ 
mit with fortitude to tho great Disposer of 
events. You aro gifted with superior intel¬ 
lectual capacities, which happily you have 
had the opportunity to cultivate. To im¬ 
prove time and talents is the duty of all: 
where much is given much is required. I 
do not leavo you wealth; it will therefore 
be necessary for you to employ your talents 
for your support— and, what is equally ne¬ 
cessary to those who possess a benevolent 
mind,, to acquire the means of relieving 
those less favored than ourselves. In the 
exercise of benevolence, you will lay up to 
yourself a treasure of which no event can 
deprive you. Had tho ‘wise man’ o.mployod 
his talents and the boundless wealth which 
he possessed, in relieving distress and doing 
good alone, instead of indulging in sensual 
excess, he never would have pronounced all 
the unparallelled blessings which Heaven 
had heaped upon him, ‘ Vanity of vanities ’— 
nor ivould the clouds of voluptousness and 
idolatry have darkened tho sunset of his ex¬ 
istence. How long have the precepts of 
wisdom which he loft on record, outlived the 
proud temple that he reared ! Human ex¬ 
perience proves that the happiness of indi¬ 
viduals, and tho prosperity and perpetuity 
of nations, depend not on luxury and 
splendor, but on virtuo and intelligence. 
“My strength is failing, but I would fain 
say a few words more. Continue, my dear 
son, to cherish that purity of heart that

CHAPTER THIRD. 
Many' friends gathered- around the couch 
of Mr. Wells, but there was one who never 
left his side. Many weary days and nights 
did Edward watch over the unconscious ob¬ 
ject of his solicitude, and most fervently did 
ho pray Heaven in mercy to spare his only 
earthly friend. At length perception and 
consciousness returned, and the first object 
that biest the sight of the invalid, was his 
adopted son sitting by tho bed-side, with his 
eyes closod, but tears were stealing from 
underneath the pendant laslios—tears more 
precious to the dying man than the brightest 
jewel that glitters in the crown or casket of 
any European monarch. He endeavored to 
speak, but no sound issued from his lips; ho 
would have pressed the hand that held his, 
but the nerveless fingers obeyed not the im¬ 
pulse ; tho affecting conviction burst upon 
him that ho was never more to feel the warm 
grasp of a friond,and with a convulsive effort 
he raised the other hand. Edward saw the 
movement and caught the hand to his lips, 
while tears of joy and gratitude fell upon it. 
In a few days Mr. Wells was ablo to con¬ 
verse, and welcome to Edward’s ear was the 
sound of that voico, which had so long been 
silent. 
Months passed, and still he lingered.— 
Spring’s earliest flowers again put forth, and 
as Edward placed some boautiful ones in the 
hand of the invalid, ho expressed a hope that 
when his favorite rose-ti*ee should again 
blossom, his friond might be ablo to be car¬ 
ried into tho garden. 
“My dear son,” said Mr. Wells, “do not 
deceive yourself; it cannot be. For your 
sake, I could wish to linger a little longer; 
for myself, I long to flee away and be at rest. 
Could I but I know that your manhood 
would fulfil the promise of your youth, I 
should leavo this world without regret.” 
“ Tell me, my father,” said Edward, “have 
you seen aught in my character or conduct 
that should make you distrust me ?” 
“ No, my son ; on tho contrary, your con¬ 
duct has evor merited my commendation, 
and I am convinced that if the mental and 
moral training of all children could be what 
yours has been, vice would, after a while, 
nearly cease to deform this fair world of ours. 
Tho innate purity of man’s mind, if cherished 
and encouraged, would lead him to look up¬ 
on crime with abhorrence, and choose tho 
path of virtuo as the only one that could

it is the same with tho fair as with tho fowl.

Farewell.” 
Such was the close of this good man’s life. 
In a few days the remains of Mr. Wells were 
borne to thoir last resting placo. A long 
train of mourners followed; some lamented 
the companion of eai’lier days; many mourn¬ 
ed with no common sorrow for one who had 
saved thorn from poverty and ruin. Wid¬ 
ows and orphans were there, whose hearth¬ 
stones, but for him, would have been cold 
and cheerless. 
There was one who stood alone — no 
language can describe tho desolation of his 
heart, as he looked on those loved and ven¬ 
erated features for the last time, and saw 
tho grave close over his only friend. He 
returned alone to his solitary home, where 
every object reminded him of the happy past, 
and his irreparable loss. After a sleepless 
night, ho sought in the cool and invigorating 
morning air, a relief to his burning temples. 
Involuntarily he sought the garden, whero 
every flower seemed to remind him of the 
magnitude of his loss. But in contemplat¬ 
ing the character of his deeoasod friend he 
found consolation. If, thought he, in rec¬ 
ognizing the imago of God in all his in¬ 
telligent creatures,— if to receive all man¬ 
kind as his neighbors, to pour tho oil of con¬ 
solation on the wounded spirit, and relieve 
the destitute, are deeds acceptable to God, 
then will the crown laid up for him vio with 
tho stars in brightness. By such reflections 
the intensity of his grief became subdued. 
Entering his study, he endeavored to form 
some plan relative to his future courso of 
life. While revolving thi3 subject in his 
mind his eye fell on Mrs. Badon’s window, 
which was associated in his mind with bright 
visions of hope and pleasure, which his re¬ 
cent affliction had banished. Perhaps she 
may love me, thought he, after recalling her
