Hurry cut, and cast aside ;

Broader channel, bolder force ;

Work, and still have faith to wait; 
Close the crook to fortune; 
Make the road to honor straight. 
Men are agenls for the Future! 
As they work, so ages win 
Either harvest of advancement, 
Or the product of their sin ! 
Follow out true Cultivation,

Cleanse from crime the common sod;

FARMER GUI NESS AND THE GENII. 
A LEGEND OF OLD IRELAND, 
NOT GIVEN IN THE “ EOYAI, HIBERNIAN TALES.” 
A great many years ago, whon pigs were 
swino, and tho Evil Genii held communica¬ 
tion with mortals on earth, there lived in 
tho north of Iroland a good-natured, indus¬ 
trious farmer by tho namo of Guiness. His 
farm, consisting of a fow acres of land, was 
not in tho best possible condition for tillage, 
ono portion being dry and barren, another 
wot and marshy, while tho whole was almost 
entiroly dostituto of an enclosure. Still 
farmer Guiness ontered upon his agricultu¬ 
ral life with commendable industry, not 
doubting that with persevoranco ho would 
be ablo to bring his farm under a tolorablo 
state of cultivation. 
Now tho neighbors of farmer Guiness, 
who also owned a liko quantity of land, 
chose rather to idlo away their time at tho 
alo-houso, than in tho laudable endeavor of 
improving their estates. Yet, when they 
saw that their neighbor’s farm produced 
ci’ops far superior to their own, thoy began 
to fool envious, and mado complaint to the 
Chief of tho Evil Genii, their master. Tho 
Chief was well aware that farmer Guiness 
said prayers regularly to all tho Saints, and 
was a devout worshipper of his old enemy, 
St. Patrick, in particular,— and ho knew 
that unless he could make tho crops of tho 
farmer decrease to an equality with thoso of 
his own servants, I 10 might loso their allc- 
gianco. So tho Chief called together tho 
evil genius of tho woods, the evil genius of 
tho swamps, and the evil genius of the 
mountains, and desired that soino plan 
might bo dovised by which tho crops of tho 
farmer might bo greatly decreased. Then 
tho evil gonius of tho woods proposed a 
schomo for injurying tho farmer, to which 
tho others assentod, and wont their way. 
Now, at this time thoro were very few 
foncos in Ireland, and it was customary for 
every porson to protect his cattlo from wild 
boasts, by shutting them into a covered en¬ 
closure at night, and allowing them to run 
at largo during tho day. Such a stato of 
things required that thoso fields devoted to 
cultivation should bo constantly watched, 
lost tho cattlo, pigs, and donkoys should 
run over tho fields and destroy tho crops. 
Accordingly farmor Guiness had made a 
neat pathway around his fields, in which 
his children woro daily to bo seen walking 
hack and forth, for the purpose of watching 
tho grounds and protecting them from tho 
cattlo and othor animals that ranged tho 
commons. 
Whon tho convocation of gonii had broken 
up, and tho evil gonius of tho woods had 
rocoivod his commands from tho Chief, he 
proparod immediately to execute them.— 
Having plucked up a largo quantity of black 
thorns by tho roots, he carriod them from 
tho forest, and transplanted them in tho 
paths that surrounded tho grounds of 
farmor Guiness. By this moans ho hopod 
it would bo impossible to protect the culti¬ 
vated fields from depredations, inasmuch as 
it would bo oxceodingly difficult for any ono, 
much loss children, to walk in theso paths. 
On tho samo night on which this convo¬ 
cation of evil gonii had boon hold, tho holy 
St. Patrick was informed of tho injury that 
was projected against tho farmor, and ho 
determined to protect his faithful servant. 
So ho sent a fairy to tho farmor with a 
beautiful ring of very curious workmanship. 
And tho fairy put tho ring upon tho little- 
finger of tho farmer, and informed him of its 
virtues. “ Whenever an evil is meditated 
against your estate,” said tho fairy, “ you 
have only to press your finger on this ring, 
and that which was intended for a curse 
will become a great blessing.” 
When, therefore, on tho noxt morning, 
tho farmer went forth to his daily labor, 
and saw tho thorns in tho path, ho guessed 
that it was tho work of an evil genius, and 
ho bethought himself of the ring. Pressing 
tho talisman on his finger, ho commenced 
praying :—“ 0, St. Patrick, lot it so happen 
that whenover a path of thorns shall bo: 
placed around a field, it may prove a bless¬ 
ing instead of a curse.” 
Scarcely had he uttered these words when 
St. Patrick himself appeared beforo him, 
holding in ono hand a sun-glass, and in the 
other a watering-pot. And as soon as tho 
Saint concentrated tho rays of tho sun upon 
tho thorns, and sprinkled water upon 
them, they took root and began to grow; 
and thoy increased in sizo so rapidly that in 
a few hours they were changed into a beau¬ 
tiful hedgo. Then tho farmer saw that this 
hedge would ho of groat valuo to him, and 
that it would of itself protect his farm from 
tho depredations of tho cattlo, while his 
children could bo otherwise employed in 
cultivating the lands. So that at tho end of 
tho year, it was found that tho crops of tho 
farmer wero increased instoad of being di¬ 
minished. 
Now, whon tho Chief saw that the ovil 
that had been projected against tho farmer 
had proved a blessing instead of a curse, ho 
called together tho genius, in order that 
another plan might bo devised for injuring 
his crops. At this convocation tho evil 
gonius of tho swamp promised to tako tho 
matter in hand, whereupon tho Chief and 
tho other genii went thoir way. 
Then tho evil genii of tho swamp wont 
to tho grounds of farmer Guiness, and dug 
several long trenches across his fields, which 
immediately becamo filled with water, and 
into thoso trenches ho put frogs, lizards, and 
other reptiles. Moreover ho made largo 
piles of stones near theso trenches, and con¬ 
voyed serpents to them, hoping by thoso 
means to prevent tho farmer from cultiva¬ 
ting at least one-half of his ostato. 
When farmer Guinoss aroso in tho morn¬ 
ing and saw theso trenches, and these piles 
of stones across his fields, he again conjectur¬ 
ed that it was tho work of an enemy. And 
having bothought himself of his ring, ho 
pressed it upon his finger and said “ O, 
St. Patrick, lot it so happen that whenever 
ditches shall bo dug through wot and 
marshy fields, it shall jirovo a blessing in¬ 
stead of a curse.” 
Then St. Patrick again appeared, holding 
a largo shillalah in ono hand, and a shovel 
in tho other. And ho threw tho stones into 
tho ditches, and having covered them with 
earth, tho wet land becamo dry, so that at 
tho closo of tho next year tho lands of farm¬ 
er Guiness produced crops very much larger 
than they had during tho year preceding. 
And as for tho toads, lizards and serpents, 
tho holy Saint drovo them out of tho 
country, and cast them into tho depths of 
tho sea, and they havo never vonturod to 
show themselves in tho Island to tho pres¬ 
ent day. It is reported that tho father of 
theso reptiles, known as tho “ Sea Serpent.” 
is occasionally seen to raise his head above 
the waters of tho Irish coast, entreating St. 
Patrick to bo permitted to return to tho 
Island. But tho Saint gives him a blow 
with his shillalah that drivos him far away 
Guiness wero tho largest of all tho fanners 
on tho Island. 
And as for tho giants, who thought to do 
so much mischiof to tho farmor, tho Saint 
ordered them to quit tho country forovor. 
So tho giants took a vast quantity of rocks 
and craigs from tho mountains and carried 
them three loagues into tho sea, and at¬ 
tempted to build for themselves a castle.— 
And they thought to outwit tho Saint by 
leaving an Isthmus connecting with tho 
Island, on which they might return whon 
his ire should bo assuaged. But St. Patrick, 
knowing their design, destroyed a portion 
of their Isthmus by a s'torm, and tho ruins 
are known as tho “Giant’s Causoway ” to 
tho present time; and tho Island, in com¬ 
memoration of the wrath of St. Patrick, is 
called Ire-Land. 
Farmor Guinoss prospered, and becamo 
ono of the greatest farmers in the whole 
Island. And it has so happened that sinco 
tho days of farmer Guiness, that agricultu¬ 
rists, not only in Ireland but of tho whole 
world, havo found tho following phenomena 
to bo verified, viz: — “A hedge of thorns 
around a farm — ditches through wet and 
marshy lands—and a certain kind of dish 
solved rock scattered over a barren soil — 
each do prove a great blessing instead of a 
curse, to all farmers.” 
MOUNT VERNON. 
towards the American shores. 
Again tho Chief saw that his project for 
injuring tho crops of farmor Guiness had 
proved ineffective, and ho called another 
convocation of tho ovil genii. At this meet¬ 
ing tho ovil gonius of tho mountains agreed 
to execute a plan that could not fail greatly 
to injure tho crops of tho farmer. So after 
tho convocation was onded, tho ovil genius 
of tho mountains wont to tho giants of tho 
Island, who woro his servants, and ordered 
them to carry a vast numbor of rocks from 
the mountains, and placo thorn on the 
grounds of tho farmer, and thus entirely 
cover a largo part of his possessions. 
But whon, on tho following morning, tho 
farmer saw what had been dono to his land, 
ho again pressed his finger upon his ring, 
and said :—“0, St. Patrick, lot it so happen 
that whenover such rocks as theso shall bo 
placed upon such fields, it may prove a 
blessing instead of a curso.” Now tho rocks 
wero a species of gypsum, and tho land was 
dry and barren. And St. Patrick hoard tho 
farmor’s prayer, and immediately appeared 
with a hugo slodgo-hammer and broko 
up tho rocks, so that thoy crumbled liko salt. 
And whon theso rocks wero dissolved, and 
scattered ovor tho land, tho barren places 
becamo productive, insomuch that at tho 
ond of tho third yoar tho crops of farmor 
When Washington died, Mount Vernon 
was a beautiful spot. Tho liouso—tho lawn 
sloping down to tho river—tho gardens— 
the roads—tho gateways—tho old trees— 
everything indicated care and tasto. For 
yoars afterwards when visitors came thoro, 
they wero shown tho chair in which housed 
to sit and tho marble mantle-piece and tho 
key to tho Bastilo, sent to him from Franco 
by Lafayette—and a hundred othor relics, 
preserved with jealous caro by tho family. 
And until recently they found thoro a grey 
haired negro, a faithful and attached ser¬ 
vant of Washington, who kept tho key to tho 
enclosure where his master’s tomb was situ¬ 
ated. It was his greatest pride and pleas¬ 
ure to talk by tho hour of “ Massa Wash¬ 
ington,” and to relate tho incidents of his 
life and death. Then ho would take you 
down to tho vault itself, on whoso steps ho 
had so long sat sentinel, and as ho approach¬ 
ed, his voico would sink to a reverential 
whisper. 
There was an air of quiet neatness every¬ 
where. Tho tolling of some passing steam¬ 
boat bell was the only sound that broko tho 
solemn stillness. There was something 
everywhere to remind you of the respect 
duo to tho grave whore Washington lay 
buried. 
Go to Mount Vornon now. Aftor toiling 
up tho long, sandy road from Alexandria, 
you come to the shady entrance. Thoro 
was a gate once, but it has fallen down, and 
you drivo over it. Tho lodge that stands 
near it is dilapidated and empty. The 
avenue to the house is overgrown with grass 
and weeds. A crumbling brick wall on ono 
sido shuts off tho neglected flower garden. 
Tho house looks old and decaying. Ono of 
the posts of the veranda has fallen out, and 
the roof is cracked and bent, over it. Moss 
grows on tho door step. There is no guide 
to show you on tho way, but there is a low 
range of hovels on one side, from which two 
or throe ragged negro boys run out, to offer 
you a hickory stick, as a relic of Mount Ver¬ 
non—for a sixpence. You follow a winding 
footpath down towards tho rivor sido. An 
unsightly rod brick structure stands before 
you. It is long since it was painted, and 
tho masonry is decaying and broken. You 
trample down the long grass to get up to it, 
and look through tho rusty grating. Inside 
there is a plain marble slab, covered with 
dust and discolored with mildew. On it 
you may read tho carved inscription that 
time and exposuro may leave legiblo : 
GEORGE WASHINGTON. 
And that is the grave of tho first in tho 
hearts of his countrymen ! 
Wo do not wish to bo understood as de¬ 
siring to blamo tho present owner of tho es¬ 
tate—Mr. John A. Washington. Not rich 
surrounded by needy dependents, and sub¬ 
jected to a constant stream of visitors, who 
certainly havo no claim to his hospitality, 
whatever title thoy may fancy thoy havo to 
look at his grounds—it would bo impossible 
for any ono to keep tho extonsivo ostato in 
suitablo ordor, or even in ropair. The fault 
is not his. but ours, who ought to havo made 
Mount Vernon a National Monument, 
owned and kopt by tho government, and 
open to overy Atnorican citizen. 
Tho Stato of Now York has sot an exam¬ 
ple for Congress, in its purchaso and pre¬ 
sentation of tho old head-quartors at New¬ 
burgh. Who is thoro of us that does not 
tako a just pride in that expondituro ? 
It is said that Mr. Washington, boing no 
longer able to maintain Mount Vernon, has 
sold it to a company, with tho reservation 
that Congress shall first havo an opportuni¬ 
ty of buying it if they will. Wo know noth¬ 
ing of tho company. Thoy maybo patriotic 
men, who havo determined to tako upon 
themsolves tho duty that Congress has nog- 
lectod ; or thoy may bo a sot of speculators, 
who intend to mako it a show and placo of 
amusement for thoir own profit. But in 
either caso, Congress should avail itself of 
tho opportunity now offorod. Washington’s 
homo and his gravo should pass only from 
tho guardianship of his family to that of his 
country.— Alb. Eve. Journal. 
In all evils which admit a romody, impa¬ 
tience should bo avoided, because it wastes 
that timo and attention in complaints, which 
if properly applied, might romovo tho causo. 
ML 
WE ALL HAD TO DO IT. 
A half score of young urchins wero 
gathering around a companion whose pal¬ 
lid face indicated that he was very sick, the 
result of somo juvonilo indiscretion. The 
little fellows were busy offering their svm 
pathy in various homely phrases. The 
truth is ho had taken a chew of tobacco for 
tho first time in his life, and having swal¬ 
lowed a portion of tho weed, grew deadly 
sick. Ono little fellow, who seomod to un¬ 
derstand more fully his companion’s situa¬ 
tion, than any of the others, gently placed 
on tho sick boy’s shoulder his hand, and 
said in a voico of deep condolence : 
“Nevermind, Jimmy, ive all had to go 
through this very severe trial.” 
Poor Delivery. — A waggish fellow, 
somewhat troublod with an impediment in 
his speech, whoso quibs and quibbles have 
boon relishod by many of us, while ono day 
sitting at a public tablo, had occasion to 
use a peppor-box. After shaking it with all 
duo vehcmenco, and turning it in various 
ways, ho found that tho crushed popper- 
corns woro in nowise inclined to coino forth. 
“ T-t-th-this p-po-pepper-box,” he exclaimed 
with a facetious grin, “ is so-somo-soinething 
li-liko myself.” “ Why so ?” intorogated a 
noighbor. “ P-poo-poor delivery,” was tho 
reply. 
Down on him. —A dandy, not vory ro- 
markable for the acuteness of his feelings 
or his wit, wishing to banter a testy old 
gentleman, who had lately garnished his 
mouth with a comploto set of false teeth, 
flippantly inquired— 
“ Well, my good sir, I havo often heard 
you complain of your tooth ; pray when do 
you expect to bo again troublod with tho 
tooth-ache ?” 
“ When you havo an affection of the 
hoart or a brain fever !” was tho reply. 
Public-spirited Youth —Tho othor day 
a small boy camo tearing round a corner 
with his rags fluttering in tho wind, his face 
smeared with molassos and a shingle flour¬ 
ishing in his hand, while ho was shouting 
to another boy, about tho sizo of a pepper 
box, who stood near a quarter of a rnilo 
down tho street “ Oh, Bill, Bill ! git as 
many boys as ever you can, and as many 
shingles as ever you can, and hurry down 
horo as fast as ever you can, for thoro’s a 
great big, largo hogsit of’lasses busted on 
tho pavomont—busted all to smash.” 
Love. —Tho host thing to resist vice with 
is love. Tho man who worships a virtuous 
woman, is as impregnable to tho allure¬ 
ments of a wanton as Gibraltor is to apple- 
dumplings.

AN EXPLANATION. 
Mr. Rural :—If Alonzo will be so kind as to 
correct a typographical error in the first word of 
the Enigma in No. 32, and read, “In triumph I’ve 
headed a veteran band,”—instead of “/ triumph,” 
&.C .,—he will find more truth, if not more poetry in 
it. He will also observe that the cross little fel¬ 
low has headed, (at least in triumph,) a band of 
fellows who have grown old in service, and have 
with their bold captain taken part in many a 
battle. I have not said, in my first or my last, 
that without the little fellow “ time cannot exist.” 
So you’ve found him at last, and put him in pot, 
And told what he can do, and what ho can not; 
But with all your witty, poetical freaks, 
You never can find Mr. T in four weeks.

Terns of Advertising 
One Dollar per square (ten lines— 100 words, or less,) for 
eacli insertion ,—in advance. jUgT Tlie circulation of the 
New-Yorker is much larger than that of any other news¬ 
paper published in the State, out of New York cily. Only 
a limited space, however, is devoted to advertisements, and 
hence preference is given to those most appropriate—such 
as the cards and notices of dealers in Agricultural Imple¬ 
ments and Machinery,—Horticulturists and Seedsmen,— 
Booksellers and Publishers,—Inventors, etc. All orders 
by mail should bo accompanied with the cash. 
To enable us to accommodate as many as possible, brief 
advertisements are preferred. Patent medicines, &c., will 
not be advertised in this paper on any terms. 
All communications, and business letters, should 
be addressed to D. D. T. Moore, Rochester, N. Y.
