MOOSE’S RUSAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
OCT. 2. 
HARVEST HYMN. 
God of the rolling year! to thee 
Our song shall rise whose bounty pours, 
In many a goodly gift, with free 
And liberal hand, our autumn stores. 
No firstlings of our flock we slay, 
No soaring tlouds of incense rise, 
But on thy hallowed shrine we lay 
Our grateful hearts in sacrifice. 
Bom on thy breath, the lap of spring 
Was heaped with many a blooming flower; 
And smiling summer joyed to bring 
The sunshine and the gentle shower; 
And autumn's rich luxuriance now, 
The ripening seed, the bursting shell, 
The golden sheaf and laden bough; 
The fullness of thy beauty tell. 
No menial throng, in princely dome, 
Here wait a titled lord’s behest. 
But many a fair and peaceful home 
Hath won thy peaceful dove a guest; 
No groves of palm our fields adorn, 
No myrtle shades or orange bowers, 
But rustling meads of golden com, 
And fields of waving grain are ours. 
Safe in thy care, the landscape o’er, 
Our flocks and herds securely stray, 
No tyrant master claims our store, 
No ruthless robber rends away; 
No fierce volcano’s withering shower, 
No fell simoon with poisonous breath, 
Nor burning sun with baleful power, 
Awake the fiery plagues of death. 
And here shall rise our song of Thee, 
Where lengthened vale and pastures lie, 
And streams go singing wild and free, 
Beneath a blue and smiling sky; 
Where ne’er was reared a mortal throne, 
Where crowned oppressors never trod, 
Here at the throne of Heaven alone, 
Shall man in reverence bow to God.

A VISION. 
[Translated for the Rural from the French.] 
It was in the year-it is little matter what 
year, what month; it was the day when a great 
general traced the plan of a great battle which 
gained him a great victory—the day when a great 
statesman wrote and promulgated a great political 
manifesto—when a great diplomatist began an im¬ 
portant negociation—when a great admiral took the 
command of a great fleet—all great enterprises 
commanded by the great monarch of a great 
nation. 
That same day, that same year, in a little room 
in a little house, situated in a little street of a very 
little town in Brittany, a very poor hodman com¬ 
menced a shapeless, rough draught upon a very 
rough stone. 
All the journals of the time vied with one 
another in celebrating the deeds and exploits of 
the great general, who by his skillful manceuvers 
had won the victory. They told how the troops 
were stationed, where the right wing extended, 
where the left wing stood, how the cavalry charged, 
and how the infantry sustained the shock, while 
the artillery played upon the flanks and rear guard 
of the enemy, and how the result was a field cov¬ 
ered with the wounded and dead, food for the vul¬ 
tures and ravens. They spoke of the honors that 
awaited the conqueror—of the orations prepared 
on his return—of the gracious reception of the 
sovereign—of the successive banquets along his 
way—of the titles and riches that he so well 
merited! 
History registered also the success of the great 
statesman, who, on a certain day of a certain year, 
took a great political measure, in favor of a great 
nation, and maintained by it the equilibrium of 
Europe. She exalted the wisdom, the foresight, 
the ability of this great mind. Then came the 
grand diplomatist who had so skillfully manoeu- 
vered in the labyrinth of negociations. At last it 
was the turn of the great admiral; there was a 
chapter upon him alone, and his glory contributed 
to the eclat of the reign of the great and powerful 
monarch who had enrolled in his service such 
great men. But no one breathed a word oi poor 
Johan Kerdeie, of the town of Kergor, in 
Brittany. 
He found no writer to tell his history, no poet to 
sing it, no artist to paint it That is why an humble 
scribe undertakes to-day, in behalf of Johan, an 
imperfect Bketch of a human life. 
I will pass in silence the first years of my hero, 
contenting myself with saying, that after having 
followed the habitual course of the vicissitudes 
and maladies of childhood, Johan Kerdrie was 
apprenticed to Joan Konning, a master-builder in 
the village of Kergor. He got along as well as 
others, and after having carried the hod, mixed 
the mortar, cut the stone for several years, and as¬ 
cended, without metaphor, each round of his rough 
business, he reached the top of the ladder. Then 
the honest Johan thought it prudent to take a wife. 
He chose her honest, laborious, diligent, and soon 
found himself at the head of a family of three 
children. But he never wanted for work, his 
housekeeper was economical, and in good or bad 
years they made both ends meet. His work, his 
wife, his children, and two companions sufficed to 
fill the heart and head of Johan. He had, on 
rising, no other care than the task of the day—quite 
like that of the day before, and just like that of 
to-morrow—no other thought when he was return¬ 
ing home, than that of the soup which waited for 
him smoking by the fire; no prospect than Johan- 
net and Ivonnet running with all haste to meet 
him, and little Robinette whom he could hear 
prattling in her cradle, if she was not asleep. Af¬ 
ter supper, what harm was there in drinking a glass 
of cider, and smoking a pipe with Pierre and 
Gastahd? Yet Johan did not allow himself this 
luxury every evening. 
He was orderly, sober, pious, as his ancestors 
had been. He was never absent from church on 
Sunday, and kneeled at the door if the body of the 
church was too full; he caught some scraps from 
the Cure’s sermon and drew from them a moral 
for his use; a simple and practical morality which 
consisted in rising early, working hard, and living 
on little, so that there might always be bread upon 
the board, and that wife and children might never 
suffer. This brief and naive interpretation of the 
holy writings was worth many long commentaries 
of learned doctors. So flowed, in the uniform cir¬ 
cle of daily labor to gain daily bread for his in 
creasing family, the tranquil life of the honest 
Johan, of the village of Kergor, in the good coun¬ 
try of Brittany. 
But even the most rustic and humble existence 
has its decisive hour. It struck for Kerdrie. It 
happened one day that he was charged with re¬ 
pairing a breach in the wall of a certain old castle, 
situated about three leagues from Kergor, and be¬ 
longing to an old and noble family of the country. 
The work done, the housekeeper, in the absence of 
the family, regaled the poor laborer with the sight 
of the splendors of the rich manor. Johan saw 
there what he had never seen, velvet curtains, hair 
sofas, crystal mirrors, golden frames, paintings, 
sculptures! Never since the day when he first en¬ 
tered the Cathedral of Rennes, had he been so 
dazzled. As he gazed upon the wonderful specta¬ 
cle, his eyes fell upon a marble statuette that the 
housekeeper told him was a portrait of the arch¬ 
angel MicHAiL, brought from far away, from some 
church in Italy, she knew not where. 
Johan stopped short before this, and there he 
could have remained forever. From the moment 
that he looked upon the archangel all the rest was 
eclipsed. The little statuette filled the vast gallery. 
Johan had often seen angels before, in churches, 
upon the tabernacles of altars, chubby-faced cher¬ 
ubs whom Robinette, without wings, resembled.— 
But the archangel was quite another thing; a beau¬ 
tiful young man of about twenty years, and who 
yet seemed to belong to the earth neither by age, 
nor sex, nor anything else. Clothed (Johan saw 
it thus,) in a luminous armor, all resplendent, like 
what Monsieur, the Cure, called “ the armor of 
God,” with one hand he held the flaming sword, 
with the other he pointed to heaven; his large 
outspread wings sustained him in space, his feet 
touched not the earth, his locks streaming upon 
the heavenly breeze. A messenger from the Most 
High, there was upon him the reflection of divine 
radiance; how describe this vision so pure, so 
calm, so angelic! In contemplating it, Johan felt 
his soul expanding. “Come, it is time to go!” 
cried the housekeeper to him. Awaking in sur¬ 
prise, Joiian started; he took off his cap, made his 
bow, and went away with his head full of the arch- 
angeL He saw him flying before him all along the 
way. He saw him again in his cottage, hovering 
above his wife and little ones, who, climbing upon 
his knees, hanging to his vest, and rummaging his 
pockets, could not wake him from his ecstacy. He 
slept and dreamed of the glorious archangeL For 
the first time, he remembered his dream when 
awake, and all the day, while hard at work, he had 
before his eyes the celestial vision. It followed 
him to the “ Bon-Coin,” an unholy place, more fre¬ 
quented by tipplers than angels. He found it 
again, the next night, as soon as he closed his 
eyelids. The archangel had become for him, 
what gold is to the miser, power to the ambitious, 
the loved one to the lover. The whole world was 
absorbed in this divine type which filled the heart 
and brain of the poor Johan. 
There are some things that we desire to possess, 
others that we desire to produce. The first of 
these sensations is that of the connoisseur; the 
other belongs to the artist. For the first, taste and 
money are needed; for the second, what is not? 
Johan had not the money; taste he had, witness 
his admiration for a choice work. As for being 
an artist, he had never drawn a line, never cut a 
stone otherwise than in square figures, and yet the 
archangel beset him. He saw it so distinctly and 
so constantly, that he was certain of being able to 
copy it if he only knew how to begin. To draw 
it was out of the question, since he had never held 
a pencil in his life. But he knew how to cut stone, 
aye, the hardest. Why should he not try to carve 
the archangel from a block, which he transported 
secretly to a little room, quite at the top of his 
house? 
On their part, and about the same time, the great 
general, the statesman, the diplomatist, matured, 
each by himself, the plans of their vast enterprises, 
while the honest Johan was meditating his great 
project. He looked upon the block of stone, and 
strange thoughts traversed his brain. Johan knew 
hardly enough of writing to sign his name. As 
for reading, he had not opened a book since he 
left school, when twelve years old. He was, there¬ 
fore, scarcely fitted to define the ideas, or rather 
the vague sensations that he felt. 
The archangel had evoked for him a new world. 
He had indeed heard of the great St Michael, the 
conqueror of Satan, crying with a voice of thun¬ 
der, “Who i3 like to God?” then prostrate, after 
victory, and adoring; but he had never given him 
a body and countenance. From whence came to 
the artist this marvelous divination? What form 
was before the eyes of his mind, whilst he anima¬ 
ted the marble and endowed it with beauty and 
life? It must be a visitation from on high—a spark 
of the creative power of God. How had that man 
felt when, day by day, hour by hour, he saw matter 
transforming itself and becoming spirit under his 
hands? and, later, when the admiration and the 
sympathy of the crowd saluted this incarnation of 
all that is pure, noble, and holy ? 
Then came the contrast of his poor daily task, 
to him, Johan, a task so monotonous, so ungrate¬ 
ful, so dull! What ideas could come to light thro’ 
the rude labor of carrying the hod, of laying mor¬ 
tar and stones? A machine could do so much.— 
Johan foresaw in himself something that neither 
the narrow bounds of his labor, nor the material 
necessities of life, could enchain, and through this 
opening his soul took its upward flight Why 
should not he try to fashion an angel, after his 
way, in his little lonely garret in his leisure hours? 
He went to work, and labored there patiently every 
day, after his work was done. Patiently endured 
grievous mistakes; one day, he chiselled in his 
rough draught, a too short arm, a crooked leg, 
grotesque wings; the head, instead of being raised 
nobly toward heaven, seemed to come out from the 
chest Johan did not lose his courage; he recom¬ 
menced. He endured without complaints the 
scoldings of his wife, for his distracted and 
thoughtful air, the enticements of the children to 
play, the reproaches of Pierre and Gaspard who 
could not pardon him for deserting the ‘ Bon- 
Coin.” He listened submissively to the most seri¬ 
ous remonstrances of the master who had surprised 
him dreaming with his trowel in his hand. Had 
he not his good angel to console him for these 
puerile troubles? 
Yet time flowed past, and if the angel did not 
advance, the family enlarged, and imposed on the 
poor mason new effort and labor. His house¬ 
keeper was a good wife, but passionate, quarrel¬ 
some; according to her, Johan had need of being 
harrassed, and she spared no stimulants. He en¬ 
dured all with gentleness, he thought of the angeL 
It is inconceivable what aid and consolation this 
angel afforded him! Gaspard, his companion in 
labor, fell from a scaffolding and broke his limb.— 
Gaspard had, also, a wife and some children. 
Johan took upon himself his work also, and divi¬ 
ded his pay with the wounded mam Pierre con¬ 
fided to him one evening that he was in debt, and 
feared imprisonment. Johan advanced to him the 
half of the petty sum that he had amassed by dint 
of hard labor, and worked two hours longer daily 
to make up the deficit, for he knew very well that 
Pierre could return nothing to him. 
There remained no longer time to work on the 
angel and the years ran by. In the little fragment 
of a broken mirror, which adorned his cottage, 
Johan saw his hair and beard growing grey. But 
the vision, although a little less distinct, was none 
the less present; at any time he could evoke it— 
Sometimes he rose in the night and went up to his 
dear loft to cut the hard stone. He could not 
trespass with impunity upon his hours of rest; his 
strength declined; he felt it, but without being 
able to resolve to renounce the work; not that 
there was attached to it, any ambitious hope of 
success, he knew to well his want of power; but 
there was in this effort of will, in this exercise of 
the mind and the heart, something which ennobled 
him, which elevated him above vexations, above 
daily cares, which rendered him more happy,—no, 
I deceive myself in the word,—more noble and 
better. 
Johan had found means to apprentice his eldest 
son, to send the younger to school, to pay the fees 
of the doctor for the care given to two of the 
children, one of whom died, without reckoning 
the aid lent to Gaspard, during his hard fever, and 
the payment of Pierre’s debts. 
All absorbed by her children and work, Ger¬ 
trude had no leisure to observe the paleness and 
thinness of Johan. The block, cut and recut, was 
almost as shapeless as on the first day; Johan 
alone found there some vague resemblance to his 
dear vision, which, always radiant, preceded him 
on his return, so living and persistent that it 
seemed to him that two or three blows of the 
chisel would finish the copy of this divine model. 
Without touching his soup, without lighting his 
pipe, he embraced his wife and children, and ran 
to shut himself up in his mysterious retreat There 
he gazed long time upon the roughly chiselled 
stone; then, taking the hammer and chisel, he went 
to work with feverish ardor. But soon unusual 
languor overpowered him; the tools slipped from 
his hands, and he remained motionless, dazzled by 
the interior vision, more and more beautiful, more 
and more radiant, too heavenly for him to dare at¬ 
tempt to reproduce it. 
One morning Gertrude awoke and Johan was 
not by her side. She thought that he had set out 
before the dawn for some distant work. She rose, 
and went down; the door of the house was bolted 
within. She called—no one replied. The children 
joined her. Alarmed they sought and ran through 
all the little house; but they found no trace of 
Johan. Ivonnet remembered the room into which 
he had many times Been his father glide stealthily. 
He ascended the ladder, entered by the skylight, 
and discovered, on his knees, his head bowed upon 
the rude block, the lifeless body of Johan Kerdrie. 
The archangel was the last object that the eyes of 
the poor mason saw here below. Who can say 
upon what visions they opened? 
His body was deposited in the little village 
cemetery; his widow erected over the humble 
grave a wooden cross, that time decayed and over¬ 
threw. Nothing more indicates to-day the place 
of his buriaL The stone before which a human 
heart beat until it broke, was broken to mend one 
of the village walls; and while the mortal remains 
of the great general, the great statesman, and the 
great diplomatist, repose beneath great slabs of 
white marble, with pompous inscriptions, not a 
piece of wood, not a rough stone, tells to the 
passer-by that Johan Kerdrie, of the little village 
of Kergor, in Brittany, lived and died there. 
All those great ones of the earth have attained 
their ideal in this life, their ideal of glory, of pride, 
of ambition. That of Johan was at the same time 
more modest and higher—he attempted, he was 
baffled and perished at his work. But who knows 
what influence that persevering effort, that un¬ 
known and unproductive labor, exerted upon the 
fate of that immortal soul where it now dwells?

CHILDREN’S TEMPER. 
Bad temper is oftener the result of unhappy cir¬ 
cumstances than of an unhappy organization; it 
frequently, however, has a physical cause, and a 
peevish child often needs dieting more than cor¬ 
recting. Some children are more prone to show 
temper than others, and sometimes on account of 
qualities which are valuable in themselves. For 
instance, a child of active temperament, sensitive 
feeling and eager purpose, is more likely to meet 
with constant jars and rubs, than a dull, passive 
child; and if he is of an open nature, his inward 
irritation is immediately shown in bursts of pas¬ 
sion. If you repress these ebullitions by scolding 
and punishment, you only increase the evil by 
changing passion into sulkiness. A cheerful, good- 
tempered tone of your own, a sympathy with his 
trouble, whenever the trouble has arisen from no 
ill-conduct on his part, are the best antidotes; but 
it would be better still to prevent beforehand, as 
much as possible, all sources of annoyance. Never 
fear spoiling children by making them too happy. 
Happiness is the atmosphere in which all good af¬ 
fections grow—the wholesome warmth necessary 
to make the heart-blood circulate healthily and 
freely; unhappiness, the chilling pressure which 
produces here an inflammation, there an excres¬ 
cence, and, worst of all, “ the mind's green and 
yellow sickness—ill-temper.”

BURNETT’S COCOAINE. 
Testimonial. 
Boston, July 19, 1851. 
Messrs. J. Burnett A Co.—I cannot refuse to state the salutary 
effect in my own aggravated case, of your excellent Hair Oil— 
(Cocoaine.) 
For many months my hair had been falling off, until I was fearful 
of losing it entirely. The skiu upon my head became gradually more 
and more inflamed, so that I could not touch it without pain. This 
irritated condition I attributed to the use of various advertised hair 
washes, which I have since been told contained camphene spirit 
By the advice of my physician, to whom you had shown your pro¬ 
cess of purifying the Oil, I commenced its use the last week in June. 
The first application allayed the itching and irritation ; in three or four 
days tlie redness and tenderness disappeared—the hair ceased to fall 
and I have now a thick growth of new hair. I trust that others simi¬ 
larly afflicted will be induced to try the same remedy. 
Yours very truly, SUSAN R. POPE. 
A single application renders the hair (no matter how stiff and dry) 
soft and glossy for several days. It is conceded by all who have used 
it to be me best and cheapest Hair Dressing in the World Prepared by 
JOSEPH BURNETT A CO., Bostoa For sale by all Druggists.
