MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
W'i 
Written for Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. 
F A M E . 
BY J. C. MILl.KR. 
Upon the ear of a dreamy youth, 
Is breathed a deathless word, 
And of his young and trusting heart 
The passion depths are stirred. 
Hope flings her starry banner o’er 
The soft, cerulean skies— 
Ambition waves her magic wand 
And bids the dreamer rise. 
“ Lo ! yonder are the bowers of Ease, 
The haunts of Pleasure’s train ; 
Whate’er has power to soothe or please, 
May mortals there obtain. 
But who would scale the dizzy height 
Where dwells immortal Fame, 
Must shun that bright and sunny land, 
And wear a noble name. 
Toil on, toil up the steep ascent, 
Nor heed the avalanche ; 
The danger has no power I ween, 
The hero’s cheek to blanch. 
Toil on, toil up the towering height, 
Nor heed the torrents roar— 
Across thy path its waters sweep, 
Fame’s breath will waft thee o’er.” 
’Tis done—a million voices raise, 
For him the loud acclaim ; 
The child Genius well hath won 
For aye, a noble name. 
Ye chainless winds repeat his praise, 
For as ye wander free, 
A peal, oh melancholy main, 
Thy mighty ministrelsy 1 
Let the shouting nations rend the skies— 
Let music swell the breeze, 
And crown him prince of demigods, 
Ere yet the vision flees ; 
For Fame, an unsubstantial thing, 
Is baseless as a dream, 
Or morning cloud, which scarce doth fling 
A shadow on the stream. 
The hollow murmurs from afar, 
Fall faintly upon the ear ; 
They sink, they die, and silence reigns— 
Is this the hush of fear ? 
Now rings the world with newer fame : 
’Tis thus, an empty breath, 
Can raise a mortal to the skies. 
Or doom him to the death !

THE SACRED DEBT. 
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY S. TUSKA. 
Four young students of a certain Univer¬ 
sity were in the habit of practising music to¬ 
gether, each having a different instrument up¬ 
on which they played tunes in concert. One 
everting after they had finished playing, and 
had entered into lively conversation, they sud¬ 
denly heard beneath the window of their room 
the singing of^m old minstrel. The students 
opened the window to see what serenade they 
were receiving. It was a poorly dressed, old 
man ; his gray, silvery hair glistened in the 
light of the neighboring lantern. He sang 
with all his might, and accompanied his song 
with a harp, which had too often been exposed 
to storms of rain and snow to have preserved 
its former sweetness of tone. The accompa¬ 
niment was, nevertheless, pleasing and grace¬ 
ful, and the trembling voice of the gray-haired 
singer harmonious. 
When he had ended his song he looked up 
to the window where our young artists stood 
listening. One of them threw down a silver 
coin, and said : “ Here, old man, this is all we 
can do for you now. Call again, some day.” 
“ Yes, in one year,” said the second student. 
“We shall then give you money enough to 
buy a neat little house,” added the third. 
“ And a garden, too,” continued the fourth. 
The poor man stood astonished at their re¬ 
marks. He looked up again, and carefully 
scrutinizing the countenances of the young 
enthusiasts, he said : “ Are you in earnest, 
my friends? I hope you are not making 
sport of a poor old man.” 
1 No, assuredly not,” exclaimed Ernst, the 
eldest of the students. His three fellow stu¬ 
dents called God to witness. 
“ Well, then, my dear friends, I shall trust 
your word,—one year hence I will comeagain 
beneath this window. May the Almighty, 
whose name you have invoked, prosper you 
in all your undertakings!” 
After thanking them repeatedly, the old man 
departed. The students closed the window, 
and taking their instruments they struck up a 
lively tune. A few minutes passed, they had 
entirely forgotten the poor minstrel, and talked 
as merrily as ever. But Ernst seemed to 
have the scene continually before his eyes, and 
observing the merriment of his companions, 
he could not restrain himself from saying, 
“ You seem to be quite at ease ; I am by no 
means so, when I think of the promise .” 
“ What promise ?” asked Christopher. 
“ Why, of the house and garden,” replied 
Ernst. 
A loud burst of laughter was the only re¬ 
ply which he received from his three compan¬ 
ions, after which they dispersed to their sev¬ 
eral homes. 
Their evening concerts were regularly con¬ 
tinued ; but as often as they assembled, Ernst 
reminded them of the promise, which, in his 
judgment, he said, they could not break. “ I 
am astonished,” said he, one evening, with 
much warmth and seriousness, “ that you com¬ 
pel me to insist so vehemently upon a matter 
whose accomplishment it needs no argument 
to prove to be our duty. If we spoke in ear¬ 
nest, we must act accordingly ; but if we made 
the old man a laughing-stock, Ihen we must 
make amends for our error. My dear fellow 
students, I cannot sleep a single night quietly 
j until I have found the means to acquit myself 
of that holy promise.” 
“ And where, pray, shall we find the means?” 
said Christopher. “ Our parents have sacri¬ 
ficed enough in supporting us ; and if we were 
to save our own small incomes, and lived on 
the air, we should not be able to buy for that 
poor fellow the most wretched cottage and 
garden. If we were wrong in making a 
promise, he had no right to accept it—thus we 
are even. Good night, companions, I hope 
you will enjoy as tranquil a night as I am 
most certainly going to have.” 
Again they dispersed to their respective 
homes, regardless of fulfilling their promise. 
The sophistical remarks of Christopher by 
no means satisfied Ernst’s mind, nor restored 
his tranquility, and he returned home more 
than ever dissatisfied. His mother had for 
several days noticed her son’s unusual state of 
mind, and shared, in consequence, some degree 
of uneasiness. She was a widow, and with 
Ernst, her only son, removed to the city 
where the University stood, either because she 
could not live away from him, or that she 
wished to economise in keeping house in the 
city, and thus supporting herself and son.— 
S he could put confidence in the hope that the 
little sum which her husband.had left her 
would suffice, till her son would, in his turn, 
be able to support her. While many students 
whose homes were far distant formed jovial 
parties, and expended no small sums in enjoy¬ 
ing many and unnecessary pleasures, Ernst 
was ever under the eye of his mother, who in¬ 
fused into his filial heart love, benevolence and 
domestic piety. Under such influences, he 
was the delight and only treasure of his 
mother. But now his countenance expressed 
uneasiness, and she at last desired to know the 
cause. He made the painful confession, and 
soon perceived, from the serious mien of his 
mother, that she regarded the promise as 
sacred. 
“ So you are entering life with the burden 
of a debt on your shoulder, before you have 
scarcely earned anything. But,” added she 
changing her mournful tone into one of reso 
lution and courage, “ whatever your compan¬ 
ions may do, you shall fulfil the promise as 
far as your share is concerned. If you thought 
otherwise, you would not be my son /” 
After a short pause, the good-hearted wo¬ 
man started the plan by reminding her son of 
a notice which she had lately seen, to the effect 
that in the valley of “ Bloomingale,” adjacent 
to the city, there was a house and orchard for 
sale. She according advised Ernst to search 
for the place and ascertain the price thereof. 
Ernst soon learned that the premises would 
be sold to any one offering two thousand 
florins. This, to a poor student, was certainly 
large sum : nevertheless Ernst consoled 
work of imagination, for 1 soon lost my pres¬ 
ence of mind. The roaring storm, the crash¬ 
ing trees, the gushing rain, caused such a tre¬ 
mendous din that I could scarcely hear the 
never-ceasing thunder. A thousand flashes of 
lightning, which every moment illumined the 
pitch dark night, so dazzled my eyes that I 
dared not open them nor advance a step. You 
cannot imagine how dreadful it is to be over¬ 
taken by a thunder storm in a forest. In ter¬ 
ror I clasped the nearest tree with my arms, 
for 1 trembled like an aspen-leaf. Suddenly 
the lightning struck an oak tree, five steps 
from me, which stood in flames while I recov- 
“ and will you have the goodness to tell us 
how we can find that also ? We must know 
this first. But you speak of purchasing a 
house when we have scarcely enough to pay 
for a quire of paper.” 
“ I intend to propose some plan to raise the 
amount of money,” replied Ernst. But first 
I should like to know whether you have men¬ 
tioned this subject to any of your friends, and 
whether they are willing to lend a liberal hand 
to the undertaking.” 
One of them said he did not tell his father 
about it, fearing lest he should be thrust out 
of the house. The other said he had touched 
ered from a violent shock and consequent fall. , 
But I attempted to run in vain, for I fell first ° 1 . 1 e . -A 'j ec ! n * e P 1 ^ £er,ce of his guardian, 
on my knees, then at full length on the mossy W . 0 11 * CU e ™ ! ds consc ’ en ^ ous sc ™~ 
grass. In this position I passed the most ^ ? S ,’ w ia t. ey were not at all in- 
dreadful night of my life. I had revolving beggar, smoe they could not be 
thoughts of you, my friends, of our evening l ompelW b 7 ! aw t0 Mfll such » promise- 
concerts, and of the gray-haired beggar ; and 
a voice seemed to say to me, This terror is a 
warning of Heaven ; keep thy promise, as far 
as in thy power lies. If thou wilt do this, 
thou wilt reach thy home in safety! 
“ I rose, and was now no more afraid, but 
passed safely through the forest, and finally 
arrived in good cheer at the house of my pa¬ 
rents. And now what I specially wished to 
tell you is that I will acquit myself of my 
promise, and will join Ernst, who has so often 
admonished us, in accomplishing it as far as is 
in my power 
Thereupon Augustus rose and said : “You 
will have no difficulty in persuading me to be 
of the same mind, for I have felt a good deal 
of anxiety with regard to the fulfilment of our 
Finally, added the third, that his uncle, on 
whom he depended for pecuniary aid, was so 
enraged at the beggar that he intended to in¬ 
form against him if he should ask them to 
fulfil their promise. 
“ Then we are all left to ourselves,” remark¬ 
ed Ernst ; “ listen, then, to my plan. As I 
walked out one day to the beautiful valley of 
‘ Bloomirigdale,’ I saw in one of the public 
squares a band of musicians, playing before a 
vast crowd. Their music was neither beauti¬ 
ful nor grand, yet they made a handsome sum 
of money. We are, without flattery, more 
skilful than they, and have better instruments,, 
Let us, then, during the next vacation, travel 
in disguise through Germany with our instru¬ 
ments on a musical tour. With the help of 
promise. ‘ The fac°ts which influenced my mind , G ? D ’ sha11 succced in our undertaking, and 
thus are simply these. During my stay with 
my parents, I and many of our friends took a 
walk to the castle of Whiteburgh. This pal¬ 
ace was built rather fantastically than taste¬ 
fully, and would perhaps have excited little 
bring home enough to provide a comfortable 
home for the beggar. This is my plan ; if it 
do not please you, propose some other, and I 
shall be ready to agree with you.” 
This proposal was accepted with great ap- 
promise. It was an excellent plan.

himself with the thought of having found at 
least the object of his desire. Yes, he even 
flattered himself with the hope that would 
find the means wherewith to obtain it. Two 
thousand florins, thought he, was certainly not 
too much for such a neat, comfortable cottage 
and fruitful garden, situated in so beautiful a 
valley as “ Bloomingdale.” This is just the 
thing that would most rejoice the poor old 
minstrel. 
As he returned to the city, he heard the 
music of some rambling players. This caused 
him to tremble, for it reminded him of the en¬ 
gagement which he had made with his three 
companions. It was the day when his friends 
expected him at a quartette ; after a vacation 
of two weeks they were to assemble for the 
first time at their musical entertainments. 
They met at the specified hour, and after 
reciprocal embraces, Christopher said that 
before they began to play he wished to relate 
something to them. 
“ And I also,” said Augustus, “ shall tell 
you something.” 
“ And I wish to do the same,” added Fred¬ 
eric. 
“ And when you are all ready,” said Ernst, 
“ 1 beg you to listen to me.” 
Christopher was then called on to speak, 
and thus he spoke : 
“ As I was traveling alone to the home of 
my parents, it was near sunset when I reached 
the Ilercynian forest, through which I was 
obliged to pass. As I entered, I perceived in 
the distance behind me, an immense dark cloud 
rising above the horizon. I was alone and on 
foot, yet this circumstance did not hinder me 
from passing through the forest, for I had often 
done the same in company with others, and as 
to the storm that was about to gather, I never 
had the least fear of thunder and lightning.— 
Night was fast approaching, and when I came 
into the midst of the forest, the whole heavens 
were overspread with thick darkness, and the 
winds broke loose. Were I to attempt a de¬ 
scription of what followed, it would be the 
curiosity, had not its owner, by some peculiar P 1iause by ^is companions,—none attempted 
decorations, given particular interest to it.— of any other plan. For in the way

arch, upon which the following words were in- CX P C1 > ence many a pleasant adventure, earn 
scribed in letters of gold : ‘ Pass not through a PP^ ause an( t money, and at “ last, though by 
this gate, if thou caust not keep thy word, for no means l eas t, would be able to fulfil their 
this is the gate of Fidelity.’ One of our par¬ 
ty read the inscription, directing our attention 
to it. They all, however, walked merrily 
through the gate beneath this arch. Had I 
remained behind, they would probably have 
regarded me as dishonest; so I went proudly 
in. But from that day my mind has been 
continually in a state of disquietude, and I 
feel as if I could never regain my usual calm¬ 
ness of temper unless I fulfill my promise to 
the beggar.” 
After Augustus had finished, Frederic 
said : “ Then, it seems, we are all of the same 
mind, for a circumstance, no less singular, has 
disposed me also to think of keeping my 
promise. 
They were all eager to know what could

What 
is the Novelist’s Field? 
Grown-up people are tired of reading about castles and 
abbeys, princes, lords, and ladies, as presented in modern 
romances; those themes belong to Scott, and to no one 
else. And if our novel-readers are exclusively interest¬ 
ed in representations of foreign life, where the characters 
and manners are necessarily unfamiliar, it is only be 
cause there are no works of fiction in which 
AMERICAN LIFE AND MANNERS 
are drawn with equal vigor. 
The extraordinary success that has attended 
IDA MAY 
is a suflicient proof of its excellence as a story, and also 
of the deep interest of the public in its theme. And If Dick 
ens may arraign the Court of Chancery in Bleak House 
—if Kingsley may attack the social institutions of Eng 
land in Alton Locke, it may surely be permitted to an 
American author to deal in a candid spirit with 
THE GREAT QUESTION 
of all others now before the public. 
The Publishers commend this work to Families, as one 
which inculcates the purest principles, and breathes a 
spirit of warm and unaffected piety.
