MOORE’S RURAL NEW-Y0 RKERi AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
THE THINKER AND THE DOER. 
One sits at home, with pale, impressive brow, 
Bent on the eloquence of lifeless letters, 
Noting man’s thoughts from mind's first dawn till now 
When truth seems heaven-inspired to burst her fetters. 
Another plies the force of stalwart limbs, _ 
And been wit, sharpened by the whirl of action, 
Nor midnight lore no studious lamp he trims, 
Curtained and mutlted from the world's distraction. 
Two destinies, converging to one end, 
The glorious issue of all human labor, 
Where in harmonious union softly blend, 
The praise of God, the profit of our neighbor. 
Each has his gift; the stamp affixed at birth, 
That marks him for the servant of a master, 
The chosen steward of liis realm of earth, 
The shepherd watching for a higher pastor. 
Each has his crown of earthly laurels hero, 
Gathered and woven by the hands of mortals; 
And when the spirit city’s towers appear, 
Dropt on his brows by angels at its portals. 
Judge not which serves his mighty Master best, 
Haply thou mightest be true worth’s detractor; 
For each obeys his nature’s high behest, 
The close pent thinker and the busy actor.

THE ROYAL WHIM: 
OE THE REVENGE OF THE KING’S FOOL. 
FROM THE GERMAN OF WILHELM MEI.N'KOLD’ 
\Ve are about to tell our readers a very 
strange ovent that occurred in the reign 
of Frederick William I., of Prussia, father 
of the great Frederick, and a man general¬ 
ly disliked on account of his rough and fre¬ 
quently tyrannical manner, but who was 
really one of the best regents ot his father¬ 
land, as ho alone (and to this his son after¬ 
wards boro testimony) was tho real founder 
of its future greatness. 
This extraordinary man, who should ho 
judged by tho customs of the ago in which 
ho lived, in order to prove him extraordina¬ 
ry both in his errors and his virtues, had 
one passion which far outweighed all others 
—namely, love for tho chase. Wo romom- 
bor reading in his historian, Forster, that 
within one year ho killed upwards of 3,000 
patridges with his own gun, without taking 
tho other game into account, in which the 
queen was the greatest sufferer, as she had 
to find him, according to a marriage con¬ 
tract, in powder and shot gratis. When 
there’ was nothing for him to shoot in his 
own forests, ho never declined the invita¬ 
tions of tho landed gentry to pay them a 
visit. 
Thus it happened that—it might bo about 
tho year 1720—the rich landed proprietor, 
Yon W-, sent his majesty an invita¬ 
tion to a wolf-hunt, with tho humble request 
that ho would bring his most illustrious con¬ 
sort with him, as tho nobleman’s wife had 
formerly belonged to her majesty s suite. 
On a fino September day, then, the king 
and queen, with soveral officers and ladies 
of tho bedchamber, as well as the court fool, 
Baron Von Gundling, arrived at tho noble¬ 
man’s ancestral chateau. On the very next 
day tho chaso commenced, and Von Gund¬ 
ling, who found as little pleasuro in tho 
sports of tho field as the king did in the arts 
and sciences, took a solitary walk in tho 
meadows, and lay down to read in tho long 
grass. 
But before wo hoar what happened fur¬ 
ther, we must first give our readers a de¬ 
scription of this strange man. He was, as 
wo have already remarked, tho king’s fool 
and had received all imaginable titles and 
honors, in order to afford his majesty and 
tho court still greater sport. In fact, his 
Excollency, tho Supremo Master of tho 
Ceremonies, Privy Councillor, and Presi¬ 
dent of tho Academy of Arts, Baron Von 
Gundling, acquired such arrogance through 
his titles that nothing could bo more comi¬ 
cal than tho contrast between these digni¬ 
ties and tho indignities he had tosuffor dai¬ 
ly, oven from tho youngest lieutenants.— 
His excellency on ’ such occasions would 
grow very angry—the very thing his tor¬ 
mentors wished—and would lay a protest 
before the king against a man of his rank 
being so treated, which naturally increased 
the general laughter. Through such scenes, 
which were in that day considered remarka¬ 
bly comical, our fool had become a neces¬ 
sity for tho king and court. Besides, we 
may add that ho was a walking lexicon, and 
had to givo all possiblo explanations in tho 
daily meetings of the so-tormod “tabaks 
collogied.” His pedantry, in fact, was tho 
best thing about him ; as for wit ho possess- 
as little as a mule; but, to mako up for it, 
ho could bo as vicious and obstinate as that 
amiablo animal. 
Tho Baron Von Gundling, then, lay at 
full length in tho grass, in his peculiar dress, 
tho chief ornament of it boing an immense 
full-bottomed wig, and in such a position 
that only the locks of his peruke could bo 
scon as ho movod from side to side. A 
gentleman who arrived rather late from tho 
chaso happened to notice it, and, taking it 
for somo strango animal, firod point blank 
at tho wig, but very fortunatoly missed it. 
His excellency sprung up immediately, in 
tho highost indignation, and cried out— 
“ You vagabond rascal, how daro you 
_ » 
Tho gentleman, however, when ho per¬ 
ceived that the strango animal must neces¬ 
sarily belong to tho royal suite, did not want 
to reply, but ran off at full speed to tho 
neighboring forest. The baron, howovor, 
was not satisfied with this, but as ho saw a 
man plowing at a short distanco from him, 
ho called out in his arrogant manner: 
“ Como hither, man !” 
Tho roply he received was, 
“ I havo no time or inclination to do so ; 
but if you’ll speak civilly, I may.” 
His excollency was not accustomed to 
such an answer; ho therefore walked to¬ 
wards tho impudent plowman with upraised 
stick, and was about to apply it to bis back, 
when ho noticed that it was tho clergyman 
of tho village, whom ho had seen tho pre¬ 
ceding evening at tho nobleman’s chateau. 
Tho baron, therefore, lowered his stick, and 
contented himself by punishing tho clergy¬ 
man with his tongue. 
“ How can ho ho such an impertinent ass? 
Does ho know who I am ?” 
“Oh, yos ! lie’s tho king’s fool.” 
His excellency trembled with rago, and 
raised his stick again ; but on measuring the 
sturdy pastor from head to foot, and seeing 
no help near, ho let it fall for tho second 
time, and merely uttered tho threat: 
“Just wait, my fino follow. I’ll tell the 
king you pretend to bo a pastor, and yet go 
out plowing.” 
Tho clergyman replied, quite calmly— 
“ My gracious master will probably re- 
membor that Cincinnatus plowod too, and 
ho was a dictator, while I am only a poor 
village pastor.” 
“ Yes,” tho baron said, after inspecting his 
coarso and poasant-liko dress ; “ but when 
Cincinnatus plowed, ho did not look like a 
common peasant.” 
“ I am certain ho did not look liko a fool,” 
tho clergyman replied, as ho drove his oxen 
on. 
This was too much for tho baron, and hq 
rushed away towards a peasant ho saw ap i 
proaebing, vowing vongenco on the impu i 
dent pastor, whom ho determined to rui.; 
on tho first opportunity. 
Ho was very glad, then, to find in th i 
peasant a most determined enemy to th j 
clergyman, who complained bitterly of hi | 
sternness, and of tho fact of his compellin j 
him to mako up a quarrel he had carrie I 
on vory successfully with his wife for seven l 
weoks. 
Our fool was clover enough to soo thef 
this anecdote would not bo of any servie; 
to him in trying to injure the pastor wit ; 
tho king, ho therefore answered, most p; t 
thetically, “ but tho pastor was perfectly i i 
tho right; that could do you no harm !” 
“Well that’s very true,” tho peasant r<» 
plied, “especially as he’s getting old, an? 
can’t carry on as ho used ; but I’m sui 1 
whon his son takes his place—a fellow lik: 
a church steeple—he’ll break all our bomi 
for us. For that reason, if tho matter wt \ 
left to mo, I wouldn’t choose him for oi 
clorgyman ; for if tho patron is to beat 1 1 
on work days, and tho pastor plays tho sairq 
game on Sunday, when will our backs fini 
time to get well ?” 
Gundling now listened attentively, at | 
his plan was soon formed, when ho lcarm f 
that tho pastor’s son would return from IIu| 
lo, in a few days to preach his trial serrnt \ 
on tho next Sunday, as tho patron h; { 
promised him his father’s living. He thei j 
fore quitted tho peasant with a inockii i 
smile, and made somo pretext for visitii j 
tho sexton, to make further inquiries inb 
tho matter. Tho latter confirmed tho st i- 
ry, and gavo his opinion that tho youi .*• 
mastor must bo at least six feet two 
height, and as straight as a poplar-tree. 
“Wait!” Gundling murmured betwe«ji 
his teeth, as soon as ho again reached t \ \ 
street; “we will put a blue coat on t t *. 
young fellow, and that will annoy that vag \ - 
bond preacher.” He therefore returned \ < 
tho chateau, where ho looked up a capta ? i 
of his acquaintance, whom he took on oii> 
side, with the hurried question, “ How rrtai ■/ 
fellows have you already got ?” 
To understand this question, our roadc is 
must know that tho king, at every revie*, 
reques el each commander of a compaijj 
to present his now recruits to him. If t ; > 
poor gentleman had less than throe ho ft j 1 
into partial disgrace ; and so each captai i. 
about review time, which was close at han 1. 
tried to procure a few young men by ai h 
method, legal or illegal, but especially tho ? j 
particularly tall, for tho king had a peculi i • 
delight in such soldiers. 
“Woo is mo! I’ve hut one,” the officq' 
replied, “and lie’s only a journeyman tailor; ’ 
“ Well, then,” Gundling replied, “ you ci {■ 
got a journeyman clergyman of six feet two’ 
“Well, that’s no tremendous height, bij 
still it’s bettor than nothing.” 
The captain then requested an explan; | 
tion, and both discussed the measures l< 
which to got hold of tho clergyman’s son.-. 
They soon agreed that tho ofiicor shou! i 
feign illness when tho king departed. Gum 
ling would remain with him as company; ; 
few soldiers would bo secretly procure ; 
from a neighboring town, and tho youn; 
candidate taken away nolens volens by thi 
ears, and transported to tho next garrisQi 
In the meantime, tho king and his suit i 
followod tho chase on tho noxt day wit ? 
theii usual ardor. It so happened that tw • 
ladies in attendance on tho queon, torture s 
by ennui, followed tho windings of th j 
stream, which led them from the nobleman $ 
garden into tho open fields. One of then 
Wilhclmino Von B-, was a young am| 
charming creature, and was ovidontly at* 
tempting to cheer her companion, who wa * 
silent; and not near so charming. In con 
sequence there was a deal of lat g ing, which 
might have been heard at somo distance off, 
and might havo led to tho conclusion tha; 
tho old, though still ever new, story of mar 
riago and love was boing discussed by the 
ladies. Thoy had gradually wandered some 
quartor of a mile from tho village, when a 
wolf, probably disturbed by tho boaters, and 
which thoy at first took for a dog, ran to¬ 
wards them, regarding them with a look 
which thoy interpreted :—“ This little dar¬ 
ling I’ll mako my breakfast of, and the other 
little darling I’ll leave on that bed of forget- 
mo-nots till supper time.” 
The poor girls had not in the least ex¬ 
pected such a bridegroom, and stood petri¬ 
fied with fear as soon as thoy recognised tho 
animal, for they possibly did not know that 
a wolf, in the summer of autumn, would at¬ 
tack nobody, and that tho Isogrim who 
fascinated their eyes was. probably, as much 
afraid of them as they were of him. Tho 
silent young lady sobbed out a masculino 
name—we presumo that of her love—while 
the charming one, after recovering from her 
first terror, looked round on all sides for as¬ 
sistance. * 
Suddenly a carriage made its appearance 
from a branch road, drawn by two horses, 
in which a young and handsome man was 
sitting. Both ladies cried out together in 
joyful surprise whon they perceived this un¬ 
expected assistance, and tho wolf immedi¬ 
ately ran off', and took up his station somo 
distance from them. 
“ You have saved us from death,” tho 
j charming Wilhelmine said, as sho approach¬ 
ed tho young man, who immediately ordered 
the coachman to stop, and leapod from tho 
carriage. After begging, in tho stylo of 
French gallantry, to havo his doubts cleared 
up as to whether ho looked upon nymphs 
or hamadryads, or actual mortals, and all 
possiblo explanations had been furnished 
him, ho presented himself to tho ladies as 
tho son of tho old pastor, and just arrived 
from Hallo, in order to act as curate to his 
father. The young man, whom wo will call 
Carl, then invited the ladies to take seats in 
his vehicle, and thus return to tho chateau. 
Tho ladies quickly accepted this invita¬ 
tion and Carl had tho pleasure of lifting 
them into tho lofty carriage, in which he 
also took his seat, exactly opposito tho fair 
Wilhelmine, who, however, was cruel enough, 
for somo time, to look overy way but at 
him. At length, whon ho began to speak 
of Hallo, where ho had been several years 
“ Famulus,” at the house of Fn y inghausen, 
sho turned her eyes with pleasure towards 
him, for sho was well acquainted with this 
poet, and became so oloquent that her com¬ 
panion blushed, nudged her repeatedly, and 
at length whispered in her oar, “ Ah, mon 
Dieu ! ho’s not a nobleman.” Wilhelmine, 
however, paid no attention to her, and as 
tho young man was very well read, and re¬ 
cited several of Freylinghausen’s newest 
poems, tho time passed so quickly, that they 
stopped before tho rectory almost without 
perceiving it. Hereall the family assembled 
round tho carriage, and wished to em¬ 
brace their dear relative; but this he de¬ 
clined, and first presented his fair compan¬ 
ions, who were immediately invited into tho 
rectory, which tho silent ono at first de¬ 
clined, but tho other immediately accepted. 
After tho first stormy salutation, tho old 
clergyman clasped his hands, and commen¬ 
ced tho hymn, “ Praise God for all his gilts !” 
in which the whole family joined; among 
tlicm our friend Carl, with such a splendid 
tenor voice, that tho young lady could not 
refrain from saying, after tho hymn was 
ended : 
“ If you would do me a real favor, you 
would sing me that song of Freylinghausen’s 
which you rocited to us on our road hero.” 
This request was so flattering that Carl 
could not x'efuso to comply with it. Ho 
therefore sang, as solo, the song, “My heart 
should feel contented,” without the least 
idea that, in a very short timo, not merely 
all his consolation, but all his good fortune, 
would originate from this song. 
Tho charming Wilhelmine was highly de¬ 
lighted when he had finished tho song; and 
tho two ladies took their leave, on the ear¬ 
nest persuasion of tho silent ono of tho two. 
Carl politely accompanied them to tho 
neighboring gate of tho chateau, where they 
parted with mutual compliments. 
Tho young man felt for the first day or 
two as if ho had lost something necessary 
to his existence; but as the difference of 
rank between himself and a lady of tho roy¬ 
al suite seemed an insurmountable obstacle, 
lie soon forgot the strango adventure, in 
which ho was materially assisted by the 
composition of his trial sermon, which ho 
was to preach tho next Sunday before his 
patron and the congregation. In the mean¬ 
while, however, the king and his suite had 
returned to Berlin, while Gundling and the 
captain remained behind to carry out theii® 
treacherous scheme. The captain pretend¬ 
ed to bo suffering from a frightful attack of 
gout, and had secretly ordered a corporal 
and six men to come on tho ensuing Sunday 
night from tho neighboring garrison of 
G-n, as he had learned that their king’s 
host intended to pay a visit at a gentleman’s 
liouso some thirty miles off, as soon as tho 
candidate’s sermon was ended, and would 
not return for a week. During that timo 
thoy expected to havo tho young rocruit so 
securely hidden away, that any reclamation 
would be unavailing; and besides,tho king’s 
adjutant, who attended to all military af¬ 
fairs, was tho captain’s cousin. Gundling, 
after his usual fashion, rubbed his stomach 
with both hands, as ho thought of tho pas¬ 
tor’s terrible despair at tho loss of his be¬ 
loved son. 
As soon as tho anxiously desired Sunday 
arrived, both gontlemon went to tho over¬ 
crowded church ; tho captain, as he hypo¬ 
critically told his host, to return thanks for 
his sudden and fortunate recovery, but in 
truth, to havo a nearer look at his young re¬ 
cruit, whoso height ho was delighted with, 
and paid Gundling repeated compliments 
for his discrimination. The poor young 
man gained complete approbation from his 
patron and the whole parish, and even Gund¬ 
ling, after tho service was ovor, approached 
the pastor, and treacherously praised his 
good fortune in having such a son. Wo 
must say, that tho captain, to his credit, 
was not guilty of such hypocrisy in this 
case. 
At a late hour in tho evening, which was 
both stormy and cold, tho sound of arms 
and a loud knocking was hoard at tho door 
of tho parsonage. The door was at length 
opened by the unfortunate Carl, with tho 
words : 
“ Who aro you, and what do you want at 
this unseasonable hour of tho night.” 
“Wo want you !” tho captain exclaimed, 
as ho sprang forward, and seized tho young 
man by tho arm. “ You must come with us, 
and change your black coat for a blue one.” 
We may easily imagine tho terror of tho 
wretched man, who, only partly dressed, was 
standing speechless before them, when his 
old father, who had hoard this conversation, 
rushed out of bed, and interposed between 
them. He, too, was unable at first to speak 
through terror, when lie-perceived in the 
moonlight tho soldiers, and among them 
Gundling, who burst into a loud laugh on 
seeing the father's agony. This insult re¬ 
stored tho old man to consciousness, and 
crying, “You villainous Judas!” he rushed 
with clenched fists at tho baron. Carl, how¬ 
ever, intorposed; but as tho old man could 
not bo calmed, and tho confusion and cries 
had bocome general, for the mother and 
sisters had joined them, tho young man re¬ 
peatedly hogged to bo allowed to speak; 
and whon he gained permission, ho address- 
the following question to his father : 
“ Do you behove our Heavenly Father is 
aware of my fate, or not ?” 
At this all wore silent; but when tho ques¬ 
tion was repeated tho old man replied : 
“ Why do you ask such a question ? Ilow 
should Ho, who knows everything, not bo 
aware of your fate ?” 
Well, then,” the son calmly replied, “ if 
you beliovo that, you must not forget that 
‘all things work together for good to those 
who love God.’ I lovo him, and willingly 
yield to my fate; and will only dross my¬ 
self, and then bo ready to follow the captain.” 
“ No!” the latter replied, “ you must como 
directly. Allans —march !” 
All ran after the unfortunate man, crying 
to him. and striving to retain him, but in 
vain. Father, mother, and sisters were 
driven back by the butt-ends of tho musko s 
“ lie will not he frown,” the captain cried, 
before getting out of tho village, and then 
he’ll put on his accoutrements.” 
Wo will not attempt to givo any descrip¬ 
tion of tho condition of the sorrowing fami¬ 
ly, as a soldier’s life in that day was not 
merely tho most disgraceful, but also tho 
most wretched on oaith; and many a father, 
had the choice been loft him, would sooner 
have scon his son in his colliu than in tho 
colored coat.

Tiie following ijuestion is now being de¬ 
bated by the Tilletudlem Lyceum : “ Which 
will soonest mako a person wealthy—at¬ 
tending to his own business, or letting other 
people’s alono ?” 
If wo steal thoughts from tho moderns it 
will ho cried down as plagiarism; if from 
tho ancients, it will be cried as erudition. 
It sometimes happens that a man has no 
enemy more bitter than tho person who has 
in vain tried to corrupt him. 
Examples do not authorise a fault, 
must never plead prescription.

First Premium Machine for 1853. 
A WARDED the First Premium for Mowing and the 
second for Reaping, at the N. Y. State Fair, in the great 
trial at Geneva, N. Y., in July, in competition with eleven 
other machines; awarded a Silver Medal at the Ohio State 
Fair, for the best Reaper"and Mower, and received tho 
highest award at the Vermont and Michigan State Fairs, 
for the best Reaping and Mowing Machine. 
The true merit of this Machine has given it a great tri¬ 
umph over all others, and being a perfect combination of 
Reaper and Mower, it comes to the farmer with double 
value, and it is clearly demonstrated to be the only success¬ 
ful combination of Reaper and Mower. As a Mower, it is 
as simple and perfect as though constructed expressly for 
mowing; and as a Reaper, it is as simple and pei feet as if 
constructed for reaping only. All the change that is neces¬ 
sary from one plan to the other, is to insert or remove a 
loose platform. 
Machines warranted to cut all kinds of grain as well ns 
can he cut with a scythe, and to cut flax and millet, also to 
’gather clover, timothy and flax seed, and to be well built 
and of good materials. This machine will cut from ten to 
fifteen acres per day, with two horses, and one person to 
tend it when mowing, and two persons when reaping. The 
cutting apparatus is made perfect by means of a double 
edgeil sickle, and double guards, as fully tested the las! two 
years, and it is connected with a joint, so as to adjust itself 
to uneven ground, and by a level at the driver’s seat, it can 
lie raised when moving along, to cut from one inch to two 
feet from the ground. AH side draft against the team is 
entirely avoided. Tho machine will turn square corners, 
and turn square about, either way. Over three hundred 
of these machines were in use the past season, all of which 
gave perfect satisfaction. 
Tlie machines are manufactured at Hoosick Falls for the
