MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
SEPT. 6. 
i 
Is 
AUTUMN AND ETERNITY. 
How, 0 Autumn ! shall I dare 
To paint thy gorgeous hue* ; 
The softness of thy morning air, 
Thine evening’s pearly dews : 
The solemn grandeur of thy night, 
Whose starry crown is set 
With gems more radiantly bright, 
Than earthly coronet ? 
The glory of thy sunset hour, 
When all is calm and still, 
Brings full conviction of the Power 
That heaven aud earth doth fill; 
Oh 1 who can gaze upon thy skie*, 
As twilight shades them o’er. 
And not from earthly dreamings rise, 
Their Maker to adore ? 
The wreath of fading Summer flowers 
Is yet upon thy brow, 
But ail the mirth of Summer hours 
Is changed to sadness now. 
And yet, upon that dying head 
A Bolemn beauty lies, 
More glorious than the riches spread 
’Neath Summer's glowing skie*. 
Ever, 0 Autumn ! shalt thou be 
To us, an emblem meet 
Of spirits sinking peacefully 
To slumber calm and sweet; 
Though thy delights not long may last, 
Yet ours shall still increase : 
Thy reign be soon forever past, 
But ours shall never cease. 
Ah 1 not like thee shall pass away 
The Christian’s hope and joy : 
We look for an eternal day, 
And bliss without alloy— 
For glories hid from mortal sight. 
Revealed in realms above — 
For fadeless crowns of heavenly light, 
And perfectness of love.

THE HEART OF MITTY H AT,L E T. 
A Leaf from Life’s Sketch-Book. 
INTRODUCTION. 
O, Heaven 1 were man but constant, he were perfect 
that one error fills him with faults ; makes him run 
through all sins.— Shakspeare. 
Were you ever away up among the White 
Mountains of the Granite State ? If not, you 
should go. The scenery is beautiful; there are 
no more lovely spots in the world than are some 
of the little glens and wooded dells that repose 
at the feet of those hoary peaks, towering like 
grey-headed patriarchs amid their flocks, 
cannot now give you a description of their beau¬ 
ties, even were I competent to the task ; but I 
have a story to tell you which happened long 
ago in one of those glens. 
A short time since, no matter when, while 
seeking health and pleasure in a journey to the 
North, I spent a few weeks in a village not far 
from Franconia. Tempted one day by the 
warm sunshine and the sweet breath of the 
flowers, I strayed through the fields and iuto 
the neighboring forest. As I wandered on I 
came suddenly upon a little clearing among the 
trees, which seemed to have once been a small 
farm. A wild, uproarious little stream, escaped 
from the mountains, poured its crystal flood 
over the rocks aud through the neglected garden 
in which stood a half-decayed and moss-grown 
cottage with a few out-buildings. The house 
was apparently untenanted, and as I always 
had a sort of reverential curiosity for the de¬ 
serted abodes of humanity, I drew near, pushed 
the door softly open, and stood upon the thresh- 
hold. 
As the sound of my first loot-fall echoed 
though the empty space, I heard the short, 
quick growl of a dog, and immediately after a 
rough voice, saying— 
“Down, Tige! what ails ye? Who goes 
there I Bob’s, that you ?” 
Somewhat startled, I was about to retreat, 
when a round, red face and a pair of twinkling 
eyes, nearly obscured by a fur cap, peered 
around the edge of the door, and were soon fol¬ 
lowed by a stout figure in a hunter’s dress. 
“Beg pardon, mum, thought ’twas Bob, a 
brother hunter o’ mine. Didn’t think o’ seein’ 
a lady in these parts. Won’t ye come in ?’’ 
I thanked him, but declined, adding that I 
had supposed the house deserted, and had en¬ 
tered from feelings of curiosity. 
“As to that, ye’re about right,” he replied ; 
“ the house is ©^tenanted strickly, but we hun¬ 
ters make a stoppin’ place of it when we are in 
the woods; it’s quite convenient as a shelter 
and a place to store our game.” 
I asked if he could tell me to whom it be¬ 
longed, and why it was thus left desolate. 
“ I don’t know much about it, but maybe I 
can give you some idee. Will you sit down ?— 
You must be tired if you have come from the 
village,” and wiping the dust from an old chair 
with the skirt of his hunting frock, he reached 
it to me with the remark that “ hunters’fare 
wasn’t made for ladies.” 
“ This place,” said he, glancing around, “once 
belonged to a queer woman called Mitty Hallet, 
but I believe that wasn’t her real name. No¬ 
body knew where she come from or whether 
she had a friend in the world. She seemed to 
spring up all at once here in this lonely place, 
and she never saw nobody and nobody saw her 
'cept when she went to Church on Sunday or 
to market once a week. Some said she was a 
witch, some said a miser. I believe she died 
rich, but little is known to a certainty by any 
one but the Square up at the village. He was a 
young lawyer then, and I believe made out her 
will. He is a gentleman, is Square Hall, and if 
you go to him he’ll tell you all about it if you 
care to know.” 
Thanking him for his information and his 
rude but genuine politeness, I wended my way 
homeward resolved to avail myself of his sug¬ 
gestion, being already somewhat acquainted 
with “the Square.” The following account is 
condensed from his narration : 
CHAPTER i. 
The Squire’s First Acquaintance vrith Mitty. 
Nearly thirty years ago, said Squire Hall, I 
was a young lawyer, just starting in life, and 
had established myself in an office in this vil 
lage, fondly hoping that Providence would 
vouchsafe to me the means of living. I will 
not trouble you with a list of my various fail¬ 
ures and successes, but as time passed I found 
myself gradually gaining ground, and finally 
when the only other lawyer in the place re¬ 
moved to the West, I was left in full possession 
of the field. 
One day I received a letter written in an un¬ 
known female hand, directing me to purchase 
a few acres of land in some retired spot within 
walking distance of the village. The strictest 
secrecy was enjoined upon me, and after pur¬ 
chasing the land I was to await further orders, 
and address my communications to “M. H., 
Post-office A-, N. Y.” 
I need not say that I fulfilled these instruc¬ 
tions in every particular, partly from a roman¬ 
tic interest in their novelty, and partly because, 
like most young men, I had a relish for the mys¬ 
terious. In due time and under my immediate 
supervision, a neat and convenient little cottage 
had been erected and furnished for the reception 
of the fair recluse. It is unnecessary to de¬ 
scribe the place and its surroundings, as you 
have already seen it in its wild but forsaken 
beauty. 
In a few weeks the stage left at my office a 
lady in deep mourning dress and closely veiled, 
accompanied by a matronly daughter of Africa. 
As she alighted from the coach she raised her 
veil, and I beheld for the first time Mitty Hal¬ 
let, as she told me to address her. She was 
altogether different in her appearance from 
what my imagination had pictured her. She 
was very tall, and her form indicated great 
strength of nerve. Her forehead was high and 
white, and over it her rich, abundant hair was 
parted with the plainness of a Quakeress. Her 
features were irregular and rather coarse; her 
mouth, which was small, wore an expression of 
mingled hauteur and sadness,—her eyes were 
in fact the only remarkable portion of her face. 
They were grey, large and brilliant, and ever 
changeful in expression ; one moment suIIused 
with the mild tenderness of a woman’s nature, 
the next cold and heartless, or dark and pierc¬ 
ing. Her complexion was pallid as an inva¬ 
lid’s, and though I think she could not have 
been more than twenty years of age, she ap¬ 
peared much older. 
She greeted me with the coolest possible po¬ 
liteness, and begged that they might be imme¬ 
diately conducted to their future home. I 
complied with all the grace of which I was 
felt that inward’y I was changed. I was more 
thoughtful, often abstracted, and cared less to 
mingle with society. I loved to wander at twi¬ 
light in the woods or on the mountains. I went 
regularly to Church twice every Sunday, but 
alas 1 for my piety, I fear I did not hear much 
of the sermon or lay to heart what I did hear. 
Perhaps you have already solved the problem ; 
I was in love ! Yes, Arnold Hall was in love, 
and with- Mitty Hallet. You are aston¬ 
ished ; so was I. I could never account for so 
strange,and from the first, hopeless attachment; 
but from the time that I received her first let¬ 
ter I had felt an indefinable interest in her, and 
what I knew must be her singular history. I 
had little chance to study her character, for sel¬ 
dom saw ’her, but I knew that beneath that 
calm and sometimes haughty exterior, there 
beat a heart warm and gushing with the gentle 
waters of true benevolence. 
when there had been so much said about it, she 
had kept her own counsel for fear of reproof 
from her mistress. 
possessed, and endeavored to entertain her on 
the way with agreeable conversation, but as my 
efforts met with little return save a few com¬ 
mon-place remarks or a monosyllable, we grad¬ 
ually relapsed into silence. Arrived at our 
destination, we entered the house, and after 
conducting her over it, I inquired whether it 
suited her, and tendered all further assistance 
in my power. She replied with dignity—«Sir, 
it is well, and I am satisfied. If I require any¬ 
thing further I will call upon you. Please to 
make out a bill of my indebtedness to you and 
it shall be promptly paid.” 
Feeling that I was an intruder, I took my 
hat and bowed myself out, somewhat chagrined 
that my friendly attentions should have been 
received only as matters of business. In a few 
days my account was settled to the « uttermost 
farthing,” and I saw no more of Mitty Hallet, 
except on the Sabbath, when she regularly at¬ 
tended our little village Church. At such 
times she never raised her veil, and was always 
followed by her servant, “ old Prudy,” who was 
as close as her shadow, aud a good deal darker, 
and who always sat in the same pew with her, 
much to the scandal of some of our gossipping 
housewives. 
But, though Mitty was thus retired, Prudy 
by no means felt called upon to “renounce the 
world.” She made frequent excursions to the 
village, and though always on business, she did 
not disdain a cosy chat, now and then, with 
some of the good women of inquiring minds, and 
indeed nearly all with whom she met were of 
this turn ; but Prudy, good-natured and talka¬ 
tive as she generally was, was as tight as a 
drum on all subjects relative to the affairs of her 
mistress. 
There were of course many strange surmises 
about Mitty, in which I figured quite largely, 
as being the only person who knew anything 
about who she was and whence she came.— 
Every three months there came a package for 
her-under cover to me, and always bearing the 
stamp of a certain bank in A-, N. Y. These 
packages were promptly called for by Prudy, 
who, with the same short courtesy and “ghastly 
grin,” as regularly received them until it be¬ 
came quite an old story. 
They kept two cows, and Prudy sold milk in 
the village. They made butter and raised their 
own vegetables, and all that they did not want 
of either, was sold in the little milk cart. They 
purchased whatever they needed at the village 
store, and always bought the best, paying “ cash 
down.” Thus much the neighbors had found 
out, and it had got to be an old story too. 
CHAPTER EL 
An Episode in a Lawyer’s Life. 
A year or two sped swiftly away on the un¬ 
tiring wings of time, and brought little or no 
change to my daily life or to that of my neighbors. 
Everything around me seemed the same, yet j 
Among the sick and poor of our village “ Miss 
Mitty” was indeed a good angel, though so 
calmly and unobtrusively did she “ go about 
doing good,” that none knew her kindness save 
those on whom it was so freely bestowed. The 
little niceties so grateful to the palate of an in¬ 
valid, found their way into many a lowly home 
where the hand of disease pressed heavily upon 
some weary frame, and they were always given 
with that discriminating delicacy which, while 
it excites gratitude, can never wound the most 
sensitive feelings. 
Any one with less perseverance or obstinacy 
perhaps, than I possessed, would have despair¬ 
ed in the beginuing of such an undertaking as 
storming the citadel of Mitty’s heart, and even 
have doubted her having one. But I was sure 
that she had, and the more I became convinced 
of it the more I took courage. I was at a loss 
to know how to make any advances. I sat and 
eyed her in church, but she seemed never to 
see me, though Prudy did, and now and then a 
knowing glance from the corner of her eye told 
me that she suspected my motives. This put 
a new idea into my head, and thereafter when 
Prudy appeared at my office, I used to inquire 
after her mistress ; but Madame Prudence, (irue 
type of her name,) was not very satisfactory.— 
One day I gave her a beautiful boquet of rare 
flowers, and told her to present it to Mitty, but 
on no account to tell who sent it. She took it, 
and laughing, said— 
“ Tink you dunno dis chile, Misser Hall ; 
she ar’n’t a waiter. I’ll take de posies dis time, 
but dey might as well slay at home.” 
And so it proved ; for the next morning when 
Prudy rode by in her little cart, she banded me 
a package, which, on opening, I found to con¬ 
tain only a wilted boquet. Discouraging, was 
it not ? 
CHAPTER IIL 
“ All is not gold that brightly shines, 
Nor are all mountains silver-mines.” 
About this time our little community was 
considerably agitated by the rumor that a sil¬ 
ver mine had recently been discovered in the 
mountains near Mitty 's dwelling. Many were 
the speculations of our good people, and many 
the speculators who came from far and near to 
view the premises. At length the land wherein 
the precious ore was said to lie concealed, was 
purchased on shares by some men in a neigh¬ 
boring State, and laborers were set to mining 
it. For a time all went on prosperously, that 
is, the men continued to dig, but as yet found 
nothing. Of course anything so unheard of as 
the discovery of a silver mine in our midst, 
must necessarily create a great deal of talk and 
curiosity, and a crowd of men and boys daily 
congregated at the mountain to watch the pro¬ 
gress of affairs. This soon became such an an¬ 
noyance to the workmen and the proprietors, 
that it was judged expedient to carry on their 
operations in the night. 
This added mystery to wonderment, and as 
there are always to be found enough of the ig¬ 
norant and superstitious class in every place, 
to circulate hobgoblin stories, Silver Mount 
soon became, by common consent, “haunted 
ground.” Some shook their heads and advised 
Miss Mitty, through the medium of Prudy, not 
to live in that lonesome place. But as no no¬ 
tice was ever taken of their benevolent coun¬ 
sel, some even went so far as to pronounce 
“ Mitty Hallet as had as any of them!”— 
“them ” meaning, doubtless, the evil spirits that 
infested the region of her home. One night, so 
the story goes, while the men were hard at 
work, cheered by the overseer, who was “con¬ 
fident, from various unmistakcable signs, that 
they had struck a vein at last,” they were sud¬ 
denly startled by a most unearthly screech, and 
immediately there appeared just issuing from 
the bushes within a few yards of them, 
“ A phantom form as black as night, 
With eyes of fire in sockets white.” 
With one accord they seized their lanterns 
and took “ French leave ” with a celerity truly 
remarkable. The news flew from mouth to 
mouth for miles around, and grew as it traveled, 
till tongue or pen could scarce describe the 
horrors of which Silver Mount had been the 
scene. 
No one who had worked there before, could 
be persuaded “for love or money” to work 
there again, nor would any of those who had 
heard the dismal tale ; so the project was final¬ 
ly abandoned, as much, I think, because the 
projectors had come to the conclusion that 
mother earth did not mean to give up her trea¬ 
sures, as from any lack of assistance. Silence 
and solitude once more fell upon the height, 
broken only occasionally by the footsteps of 
some curious stranger or dariDg schoolboy. 
It was never known to a certainty, “what 
had caused this great commotion,” but I always 
had my suspicions that Prudy, led by a spirit 
of curiosity or mischief, had suddenly made 
her debut at the diggings, and that afterwards, 
chapter rv. 
Mitty loses a Faithful Friend. 
Months rolled on, and still I had never found 
words or opportunity to speak to Mitty on the 
subject nearest my heart. But there is a time 
for all things, and I waited patiently, trusting 
that there would be a time for this. A great 
change had come to Mitty in the death of her 
faithful handmaid, Prudy. She was cut off in 
the day ot her usefulness by a stroke of the 
palsy, and, leaving her “best blessing” for 
“ dear Missus,” she departed to “ that bourue 
whence no traveler returns.” The funeral took 
place in the village church, and Mitty attended 
as chief mourner, though all regretted the loss 
of the good old woman and sympathized with 
her now lonely mistress. 
To our surprise, Mitty took upon herself the 
somewhat arduous duties lately performed by 
her domestic. The morning after the funeral, 
she appeared in the village dressed in the 
plainest and neatest manner, distributing milk 
to her customers. Her face was pale and sad ; 
she spoke few words to any one, and seemed 
to wish to avoid as much as possible all inter¬ 
course beyond the limits of business. She 
called on me one morning quite unexpectedly, 
and informed me that she was about to go on a 
journey, to be gone perhaps several weeks, and 
wished me to take charge of her affairs until 
her return. Politeness forbade me to question 
her on the object of her journey, but as I re¬ 
flected that I should never perhaps have so fa¬ 
vorable an opportunity as the present for an 
interview, I felt that I must speak and free my 
mind of its suspense. 
Pardon me if I deprive you of that most in¬ 
teresting portion of a story, the love scene. I 
was then a young man, a very bashful one, and 
I am conscious that I did not do justice to my 
theme when I told Mitty Hallet that I loved 
her ; in fact I can only remember that I blush¬ 
ed and hesitated a great deal, and that my 
whole behavior was decidedly unbecoming the 
dignity of my profession. 
Never shall I forget the expression, or rather 
the variety of expressions, that Mitty’s counte¬ 
nance assumed. At first her manner was grave, 
cold and repellaDt, and she rose indignantly to 
leave, sayiDg, “Sir, this is unpardonable! I 
did not come here to be insulted I” I assured 
her earnestly of my sincerity, explaining the 
cause of my abruptness, and humbly asked 
pardon for the injury to her feelings. Whether 
my apparent mortification and confusion served 
to convince her of the goodness of my motives, 
I cannot say, but she seemed somewhat soften¬ 
ed, and her voice trembled slightly as she re¬ 
plied : 
“ Mr. Hall, since you have thus honored me 
with your confidence, it is perhaps fitting that 
I should exercise a like frankness towards you. 
You have avowed for me feelings such as I had 
hoped never more to excite or to Hear expressed 
1 will not for a moment question your truth ; I 
know not and care not what has actuated you 
in this ; it is enough that whatever your wishes 
or hopes iu connection with myself, they are 
alike futile. Willing to believe that you are 
honest, I consider you entitled to an explana¬ 
tion, and you shall have the only one which I 
can give. My heart is not my own —therefore 
I cannot bestow it; my hand were worthless 
without it, and besides is already required for 
the service of others. Perhaps I speak in rid¬ 
dles to you. I will be plainer. The time has 
been when I could love as fondly aud truly as 
the youthful ever do. My love was sought and 
won. (here an expression of agony darkened for 
a moment her calm features,) only to be crush¬ 
ed back void upon my heart—to lie amid the 
ashes of buried hopes till it shall please its 
great Author to elevate it on the altar of im¬ 
mortality.” 
Tears choked her utterance, and as one pearly 
drop stole down her cheek she brushed it hast¬ 
ily away, and with a “God bless you," departed, 
and the door closed on the first woman that I 
ever loved.

This invention claims superiority over every other in the 
invariable scientific principle involved, aud .upon which it acts; 
in its undeviating accuracy ; in its lightness and strength ; iu 
its wonderful cupacity and convenience of form ; in its perfect 
simplicity, and the fact that any ordinary mechanic can manu¬ 
facture them ; in the absence of any complication liable to va¬ 
riation, or to get out of order ; and finally in the important fact 
that this Si a'.e can be aflorded at about one-third the cost of any 
other Platform Scale of like capacity and accuracy in use.— 
Possessing in an eminent degree all these merits, this invention 
is conceded to be one of the most useful aud valuable ever 
brought before the public. And coming as it does within the 
reach of all, it caunot but find an unprecedented sale and un¬ 
divided market among tanners, housekeepers, mechanics, mer¬ 
chants, Ac., everywhere, to the exclusion of every other weigh¬ 
ing apparatus. 
Rights will be placed within the reach of every enterprising 
salesman or business man, and it is believed that seldom, or 
never, were more tempting inducements offered than this inven¬ 
tion affords for the small investment required ; and to a man of 
ability is presented an opportunity lor the realization of easy, 
rapid and honorable wealth, seldom afforded.
