MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
AUGUST 14. 
THE PATH THROUGH THE CORN. 
Wavy and bright in the summer air— 
Like a quiet sea when the wind blows fair, 
And its roughest breath has scarcely curled 
The green highway to an unknown world— 
Soft whispers passing from shore to shore, 
Like a heart content-yet desiring more; 
Who feels forlorn, 
Wandering thus on the path through the corn? 
A short space since, and the dead leaves lay 
Corrupting under the hedge-row grey: 
Nor hum of insect, nor voice of bird 
O’er the desolate field was ever heard; 
Only at eve the pallid snow 
Blushed rose-red in the red sun-glow: 
Till, one blest morn, 
Shot up into life the young green corn. 
Small and feeble, slender and pale, 
It bent its head to the winter gale, 
Hearkened the wren’s soft none of cheer, 
Scarcely believing spring was near; 
Saw chestnuts bud out, and campions blow, 
And the daisies mimic the vanished snow, 
Where it was born, 
On either side of the path through the corn. 
The corn—the corn—the beautiful corn, 
Rising wonderful, morn by morn, 
First, scarce as high as a fairy’s wand, 
Then just in reach of a child's wee hand, 
Then growing, growing—tall, green, and strong, 
With the voice of the harvest in its song, 
While in fond scorn 
The lark out-carols the murmuring corn. 
Ob, strange, sweet path, formed day by day, 
How, when, and wherefore—tongue cannot say, 
No m„re than of life’s strange paths we know 
Whither they lead us, or why we go, 
Or whether our eyes shall ever see 
The wheat in the ear, or the fruit on the tree? 
Yet—who is forlorn? 
Heaven, that watered the furrows, will ripen the corn.

MARRYING FOR PRIDE. 
BY CLARA AUGUSTA. 
“Marry Lewis Arlington! Me marry himl 
why Julia Pales! you must be demented!” 
The beautiful Amy Asiibury, the belle of our 
nourishing village, leai ed back in her cushioned 
arm chair, and raised her eyes, full of holy horror, 
to her companion’s face. 
“And why not, dear Amy? Young Arlington 
is handsome, well-educated, good hearted, and 
amiable; what more would my fastidious friend 
require?” 
“ Ob, Julia! as if that were all to look for in a 
husband. I admit that what you say of Mr. Ar¬ 
lington is correct; but there is another considera¬ 
tion which out-balances his virtues a thousand 
fold. Lewis Arlington is the son of a farmer, 
and will be himself a tiller of the soiL A glorious 
prospect, truly!” 
“Ah, ha! so I have fathomed it, havo I? You, 
the beautiful and distingue Miss Ashbury, object 
to uniting your fate with one who will make you 
that terrible and lamentable object — a farmer's 
wife! How thoroughly do I commiserate your un¬ 
fortunate situation!” And Julia Pales laughed 
merrily at her friend’s discomfiture. 
“Very well, Julia, laugh if jou like, but if it 
was Lewis Arlington — the farmer's boy — who 
sought your most royal favor, instead of my aris¬ 
tocratic brother Charles, you would, I venture to 
gay, think diffierently.” 
“ Granted, Amy. I would not, under any circum¬ 
stances, marry other than Charles Ashbury, be¬ 
cause he possesses my heart’s holiest and best love; 
hut if he was the son of veriest want, it would not 
change my regard for him one jot or tittle. I 
thank God that my affection for your brother, 
Amy, is not to be measured or regulated by dollars 
and cents, or affected by social changes.” 
The countenance of the speaker glowed, and her 
dark eyes lighted up with an enthusiasm which 
made her look beautiful, even beside the peerless 
Amy Ashbury. 
“Ab, well! I am glad that Charles has won so 
disinterested a heart—he is a good fellow, if he is 
my brother—and the love of a woman like you, 
cannot fail to make him happy. But I never could 
look upon ihings in your light. I am free to con¬ 
fess that Mr. Arlington pleases me better than any 
young man in Princeton, when I do not think of 
his low origiD, but once recurring to that— ball!— 
Let us drop the subject” 
“A moment, Amy. Why have you this strong 
disgust of a farmer? The farming community is 
among the most respectable of our different trades. 
Why is it that have taken such a horror of farming 
into your head?” 
“ As if that question need be asked! Why, Julia, 
you know as well as I that farmers are, as a general 
thing, rough, boorish, and unrefined—continually 
making blunders, and disgusting polished people 
with their clownish manners. Only think how I 
should look walking down Broadway by the side 
of a farmer’s blue frock, and that fiock upon the 
person of my husband! My stylish Fifth Avenue 
aunt and cousins would die of mortification—and 
I—1 should never survive it! Please say no more 
on the subject—it positively makes me nervous.” 
And so the conversation between Julia Pales, 
the only child of the village clergyman, and Amy 
Ashbury, the daughter of Wheatwold’s “merchant 
prince,” was dropped. 
The characters of the two young ladies have, 
perhaps, been sufficiently brought to light by their 
own expressions of sentiment, to render it un¬ 
necessary for us to stop and analyze the decided 
antithesis further. Therefore, we will proceed to 
tell the reader something of the lives which, in 
after time, were given the two girls. 
Lewis Arlington, “the farmer’s boy,” had long 
been a suitor of Miss Ashbury’s; in fact, he had 
loved her from childhood up, and vaguely, per¬ 
haps, at first, had always cherished a hope of some¬ 
time winning her for his own. He had, at last, of¬ 
fered himself to the proud young belle, and been 
refused, with cutting contempt for his presump¬ 
tion. Her scornful renunciation fired the young 
man's spirit, and, in the heat of the moment, he 
vowed to make for himself a name which she 
would be proud of. It was only the effervescence 
of mortified feeliDg which induced the thought; 
but afterwards, when he had pondered it all over, 
calmly and dispassionately, he asked himself, why 
not? Did not the majority of our great men spiing 
from farmers’ boys? Had not the rugged hill sides 
and the green valleys of the rough country sup¬ 
plied America with more true and noble spirits 
than all her bustling cities? And thinking it alone 
in the gloom of his little attic chamber, his reso¬ 
lution became fixed. He would change the ideal 
to the real—he would be a great man, and the world 
should honor him; she among the rest 
His education was already good, and he had not 
much to fear from the first almost overwhelming 
difficulties which so often discourage the student 
in acquiiiDg the rudiments of any science. He 
purchased books, and with the kind assistance of 
Mr. Fales, the clergyman, he studied for college. 
He entered Bowdoin under fair auspices, and at 
the end of three years he graduated — one of the 
mo3t brilliant of that good old institution's Alumni. 
The valedictory poem was delivered by him—and 
the press, through the communications of If arned 
gentlemen and professional critics, spoke loudly 
in his pra ! se. At this time, Arlington was twen¬ 
ty five years of age—warm-hearted, intelligent, and 
handsome; beloved by his associates — esteemed 
by those, in a worldly point of view, vastly his su¬ 
periors—and held up by the aged as a pattern and 
model for the youth. 
After his graduation he returned to Princeton 
for a brief visit to his respected parents, and then 
proceeded to Boston, and commenced the study of 
law. Miss Ashbury was, of course, coldly polite to 
him—although it must be confessed, in justice to 
the girl, that all along there had been a little voice 
pleading for “the farmer’s boy,” in a still corner 
of her heart; but pride stifled it, and at last it 
ceased its quiet complaint 
There came from New York, to visit the Ash¬ 
bury's, Mrs. Hartford and her two daughters, 
Angeline aDd Skrapuina, accompanied by an 
ardent and distinguished admirer of Miss Ange¬ 
line — the Count Dk Rosciusko, a German, exiled 
from his country and his magnificent castle, on ac¬ 
count of political differences. Mrs. Hartford 
was a sister of Mrs. Ashbury, and in consequence 
of having married a very wealthy msn, she became 
then and thereafter the oracle of the family. She 
pronounced the Count comme il faut — praised his 
grace, his exquisite broken English, and descanted 
largely on his noble patrimony in the Fatherland 
All this was not lost upon Amy Ashbury, who at 
once arrived at the conclusion that the Count was 
too rich a prize to be given to her cousin Ange 
line without competition, and it was not long be 
fore, influenced by her extraordinary powers of 
fascination, the Count was constantly by her side, 
to the chagrin and ill-concealed envy of Angeline. 
As for the Count, he kept an eye to the prospec¬ 
tive inheritance of each fair lady, and after vari¬ 
ous cautious inquiries, he decided (upon compar¬ 
ing the evidence he had collected upon both sides) 
that Amy Asiibury with property in her own right 
to the handsome amount of sixty thousand dollars, 
united with her beauty and accomplishments, was 
much to be preferred before Angeline Hartford's 
plain face and money in the hands of her close- 
fisted progenitor. So, in an incredibly short 
space of time, the noble gentleman laid his title, 
his foitune, and bis honorable self, at the feet of 
Miss Asiibury begging her acceptance of the rich 
offering. That youDg lady—as all young ladies 
are in duty bound to do on similar occasions— 
blushed, smiled, protested she had never thought 
of such a thing, and finally ended by falling into 
the Count's arms with her cheek in a remarkable 
propinquity to the Count’s moustache. 
“Well, what was the next article in the program¬ 
me of performances?” Amy asked the question 
and the Count answered it immediately. 
“An elopement!—A runaway match!” 
Amy was sure her father never would consent to 
their union — her aunt and cousins would interfere 
—and she could not exist away from her dearest 
Wolfgang Augustus! Yes, an elopement would 
be delightful! So romantic! How her young 
friends would envy her! And in a flutter of pleased 
excitement Amy gave her consent to the Count’s 
proposal. In three days from that—so it was ar 
ranged—at II o’clock in the evening, a carriage 
was to be in readiness at the foot of the garden. 
and in it the happy pair were to proceed to M-, 
go through with the marriage ceremony and re¬ 
turn to Princeton to breakfast. Amy kept her 
secret well, and at the appointed time they fled to 
gether, the Count and Miss Ashbury, and at the 
residence of a clergyman in M-, they were 
married. 
Proud and happy, though dreading somewhat 
her father’s displeasure, the Countess De Koscius¬ 
ko returned home accompanied by her husband; 
and throwing themselves at the feet of Mr. and 
Mrs. Ashbury, besought their forgiveness and 
blessing. The boon ciaved they did not receive. 
Amy’s parents were justly incensed at the course 
affairs had taken, and it needed all their daughter’s 
tears and persuasions to induce them to allow the 
offending couple to remain in the house. Mrs 
Hartford and her daughters were outraged, and 
immediately departed for home, belligerently pro¬ 
testing that they had been abused, scandalized, and 
maltreated by the unfortunate Ashbury’s. It may 
be proper to say that the feud thus created between 
ihe two families was everlasting, neither time nor 
its varied events effecting a reconciliation. 
Three dajs after her marriage, Amy was aroused 
from her dream of bliss by the advent of a Boston 
police officer, accompanied by a constable, the lat¬ 
ter of whom immediately took the distinguished 
Count into custody, presenting at the same time a 
half dozen formidable looking “bills” from as 
many creditors. Poor Amy went down on her 
knees to her father, and besought him to liquidate 
the claims and let her husband go free, which du¬ 
tiful request the old gentleman, after some consid¬ 
eration, concluded to gratify; and the crest fallen 
Count was allowed his liberty. A few days after¬ 
wards, on the appearance of a similar posse of of¬ 
ficials, the beleagured nobleman escaped from their 
clutches through a back bed-room window, and 
after a valorous race of ha’f an hour he drew up, 
foaming and puffing, at the depot, plunged into the 
cars, which were upon the point of starting, and 
before sunset the Count was in New York. 
Soon after his flight, it came out that the Count 
Wolfgang Augustus Dk Rosciusko was a barber, 
and having got in debt in Boston, where he had 
carried on his business; he had conceived the idea 
of assuming a foreign title, and retrieving his 
dilapidated fortunes. Imagine her consternation, 
her anger, her dismay! She was nearly beside 
herself on making the discovery, and it required 
all her stubborn pride to bear up under the severe 
disappointment. With the approbation of her 
friends, she applied for a divorce, which was 
granted, after a couple of years spent in feeing the 
the lawyers, and attending the courts. 
In the meantime, Arlington steadily pursued 
his studies, and after the usual course, he was ad¬ 
mitted to the bar. Here good luck attended him. 
A murder was committed in a neighboring town 
to Boston, and a young man of the brightest re¬ 
spectability was arrested on the charge of being 
the assassin. Arlington was retained as counsel 
for the accused, and his fervid eloquence so 
wroughtupon the minds of the jary that, although 
circumstantial evidence was strong against him, 
the prisoner was acquitted. Shortly after the trial, 
a man who had been mortally wounded in a 
drunken affray, confessed the deed and immedi¬ 
ately afterwards expired. This event and its at¬ 
tendant circumstances, gave Mr. Arlington an in¬ 
creased popularity, and his services were engaged 
in some of the most celebrated cases of the day. 
Honors were heaped upon him, and wealth flowed 
into his purse. He entered the political arena and 
here his wonted success followed him. He was 
nominated for Representative to Congress, and 
fortune favored him with the election to this office. 
In the midst of all this flattering emolument he 
came back to Princeton; purchased a large tract 
of valuable land, and commenced erecting thereon 
a beautiful and commodious mansion. White 
superintending the work, he visited often at Mr. 
Ashbury's, and people thought that he might, after 
all the disgrace which she had brought upon her¬ 
self, marry Amy Ashbury. Amy herself almost, 
at timeB, dared indulge this hope; for now that the 
veil of pride was rent away, she saw Mr. Arling¬ 
ton in his true manliness, and appreciated his no¬ 
ble character. Lewis Arlington, it appeared did 
not cherish any such intention, for immediately on 
the completion of his house, he brought its mis¬ 
tress to Princeton—a beautiful young girl who 
had been four weeks his wife. Then Amy's cup of 
misery was full—for she had loved Mr. Arlington 
better than she would acknowledge to herself—she 
fell into a settled melancholy, which ended in a 
rapid decline. Go through Princeton church-yard 
any day, and you may read upon a plain, but costly 
marble tablet* this inscription: 
“AMY ASHBURY, 
Aged 22 Years.’’ 
Julia Fales married the man of her choice; 
and in after years, when Charles Ashbury lost 
every farthing he possessed by a great mercantile 
crash, his true-hearted wife went out to service, 
and bravely assisted him in keeping their little 
family above want 
Lewis Arlington lives now, and he is honored 
and respected among men, although he is a farmer 
in the fullest sense of the word; he does not scorn 
to put his own hand to the plow, and wield in his 
wide harvest fields the gleaming scythe, even tho’ 
he connts his dollars by the hundred thousand, and 
owns ships upon the sea and houses upon the land. 
And his wife is skilled in all the domestic accom¬ 
plishments which so grace a woman—and in the 
ornamental sciences she has scarce an equal. She 
makes her husband’s home bright with her pres¬ 
ence, and his heart happy in her love. 
My dear girls, remember that the affection of an 
honest heart—no matter if it beats in the breast of 
a “farmer’s boy” and beneath a blue frock—is 
more to be prized than the flattery of a thousand 
men of fashion, and that the cradle of genius is 
not in the hot-bed air of a city, but in the country 
—often beneath the roof of a humble farm-house. 
Farmington, N. H., I85S. 
MAXIMS OF WASHINGTON. 
The following maxims-of Washington ought to 
be published in every newspaper in the land once 
a year: 
Use no reproachful language against any one— 
neither curses nor reviliDgs. 
Be not too hasty to believe lying reports to the 
disparagement of any one. 
In your apparel be modest, and endeavor to ac¬ 
commodate nature rather than procure admiration. 
Associate yourself only with men of good quali¬ 
ty if you esteem your reputation, for it is better to 
be alone than in bad company. 
Let your conversation be without malice or 
envy, for it is a sign of a tractable and commend¬ 
able spirit; and in cases of passion, admit reason 
to govern. 
Use not base and frivolous things against grown 
and learned men; nor very difficult questions and 
subjects among the ignorant, nor things hard to be 
believed. 
Speak not of doleful things in the time of mirth, 
nor at the table; nor of melancholy things, as 
death or wounds, and if others mention them, 
change, if you can, the discourse. 
Break not a jest when none take pleasure in 
mirth. Laugh not loud, nor at all without occa¬ 
sion. Deride no man’s misfortune, though there 
seems to be some cause. 
Speak not injurious words, either in jest or in 
earnest. Scoff at no one, though you may get 
occasion. 
Be not forward, but friendly and courteous—the 
first to salute hear and answer—and be not pensive 
when it is time to converse. 
Keep to the fashion of your equals, such as are 
civil and orderly with respect to time and place. 
Go not thither when you know not whether you 
shall be welcome or not 
Reprehend not the imperfections of others, for 
that belongs to parents, masters and superior. 
Speak not in an unknown tongue in company, 
but in your own language; and that as those of, 
quality do, and not as the vulgar. 
Sublime matters treat seriously. 
Think before you speak: pronounce not imper¬ 
fectly, nor bring out your words too hastily, but 
orderly and distinctly. 
Grant graciously what you cannot refuse safely 7 , 
and conciliate those you cannot conquer. 
Ecno Poetry. —The following is said to have been ent 
from an old newspaper, two feet square, and dated 1760. 
It may amuse some of our readers: 
“ If I address the Echo yonder, 
What will its answer be, I wonder? 
(Echo.) I wonder. 
O, wonderous Echo, tell me, blesse, 
Am I for marriage or celibacy? 
Silly Bessy. 
If then to win the maid I try, 
Shall I find her a property? 
A proper tie. 
If neither being grave nor funny 
Will win the maid to matrimony? 
Try money. 
If I should try to gain her heart, 
Shall I go plain, or rather smart? 
Smart. 
She mayn’t love dress, and I, again, then 
May come too smart, and she’ll complain then? 
Come plain then. 
TheD, if to marry me I tease her, 
What will she say if that should please her? 
Please, sir. 
When cross nor good words can appease her; 
What if such naughty whims should seize her? 
You’d see, sir. 
To leave me then I can’t compel her, 
Though every woman else excel her? 
Sell her. 
The doubting youth to Echo turned again, sir, 
To ask advice, but found it did not answer." 
An Irish Bull. —The Irish forever for bulls and 
blunders. A genuine son of the Emerald Isle, 
finding only three persons in attendance upon his 
proposed lecture, made the following address:— 
“Ladies and gentleman—as there is nobody here, 
I’ll dismiss you all The performances of this 
night will not be performed, but they will be repeat¬ 
ed to morrow evening.” 
Note of Admiration. —Dr. Johnson’s definition 
of a note of admiration (!), made on the moment, 
is very neat: 
I saw—I saw—I know not what— 
I saw a dash above a dot, 
Presenting to my contemplalion 
A perfect poiDt of admiration! 
Ancestry. —“As for ancestry,” says Smoke, 
“ truth to speak, I am one of those who may take 
the cuckoo for their crest, and for their motto— 
‘Nothing.’ ” 
Arithmetical.—A mathematician has discover¬ 
ed that an infallible method for producing division 
in families is to multiply jealousies. 
The surest way to hit a woman’s heart is to take 
aim kneeling. 
A Good Comparison. —A fop is like a cinnamon 
tree — the bark is worth more than the body.

A Riddle.— The French delight to try the esprit 
of children by a kind of riddles. For example:— 
A man has a little boat, in which he must carry, 
from one side of the river to the other, a wolf, a 
goat, and a cabbage; and must not carry more 
than one of these at once. Which shall he take 
first, without the risk that, during one of his navi- 
ga'ions, the wolf may devour the goat, or the goat 
the cabbage? Suppose he carry the wolf, the cab¬ 
bage is lost—if the cabbage, the goat is devoured 
—it the goat, the embarrassment is equal; for ho 
must risk his goat or his cabbage on the other side 
of the river. The answer is—he must take the 
goat first, the wolf will not touch the cabbsge; in 
the second passage he carries the cabbage, and 
brings back the goat; in the third he transports 
the wolf) which may again be 6afely left with the 
cabbage. He concludes with returning for the goat.
