THE OLD AND THE NEW. 
BY MRS. F. H. COOKE. 
TnE new is a spring-time brown, 
When the blue-bird shudders with cold, 
When the storm-king tramples theyoung buds down 
Till they seek to hide from his withering frown 
In his ermine mantle’s fold. 
The old is the autumn hour 
When the season’s gift is won, 
When the ripe fruit born of the perished flower, 
Rounder and redder for shade and shower, 
Is mellowing in the sun. 
The new is a wayward boy 
That mutters his morning prayer, 
Then bounds away in his reckless joy, 
Eager to startle, perplex, annoy— 
Perverse, and yet so lair! 
The old is a man, whose tears 
Have nourished his being’s flower, 
Who has climbed to his rest upon doubts and fears, 
And now stands crowned by hisconqueredyears, 
In the calm repose of power. 
The new is a love that sighs 
For blushes and smiles and curls ; 
A figure of wax that melts and lies 
Prone’neath the blaze of the pitiless eyes 
Of a series of laughing girls. 
The old is a love mature, 
A power in the heart and hand, 
That clings to the treasures that endure, 
And holds the jewels of life secure 
In the clasp of its golden band. 
The new is the mould of clay 
When the sculptor’s thought is dim, 
But the thought takes form as it must and may, 
Till the early model is cast away, 
And a grand old truth stands forth to-day, 
Perfect iu every limb 1

Owing to the overflow of population from the city of New 
York into the county of Westchester, I have been obliged to 
transfer my entire breeding establishment to the “ Herdsdale 
Farms” twelve miles north of “Mount Fordbam,” and twenty- 
two miles from the City Hall, New York, by the Harlem Rail¬ 
road, by which road access may be had to and from “ Herds¬ 
dale” both morning and afternoon. Tickets can be procured in 
New York either at the comer of Centre and White Streets, or 
at 27th Street for Scarsdatc Depot, from which Station “ Herds¬ 
dale” is within 13d miles. 
Elisha S. Patrick, (my farmer) has the entire charge of the 
Stock and is fully authorized to sell and deliver. I will be at 
Herdsdale on Wednesday of each week, from 11 A. M. to 3 P. 
M. My residence and Post-Office is the same as before, at 
Mount Fordham, Westchester Co., N. Y. I will answer all com¬ 
munications by letter, and accompany any who may desire it, 
to the Farms. 
The Seventh Annual Catalogue will be ready for delivery on 
about the 1st May, 1S56, and will be forwarded by mail to all 
my stock correspondents ; also to new ones who may desire it. 
It will contain many illustrations of prize animals, with my 
views as to the origin, utility and peculiar adaptation, of each 
breed to different sections of our country. 1 shall continue to 
import from time to time (as occasion may require,) to keep np 
with the improvement of the age or to strike new veins of dif¬ 
ferent strains of blood. The animals for sale will have theirfull 
pedigrees, ages, 4c., with prices attached. I will deliver in the 
city of New York to Express Co., or Rail Car, or on shipboard 
free of charge and risk, and will also provide the necessary food 
and fixtures for the voyage, by the parties paj ing cost for the 
same. Swine are boxed free of charge. 
My friend and partial associate in Short-horns, 31 r. N. J. Be- 
car, of “Hillsdale,” SmitbtowD, Long Island, (at which place 
his herd of Short-horns are kept,) has been an importer and 
breeder for the past six years, and a successful exhibitor at the 
American Institute, our State Show and the National Show, as 
by reference to the Agricultural Journals of the said Societies, 
it will fully appear. A Catalogue of his Short-horn herd will 
be issued simultaneously with mine, either in the same book or
