MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
Written for Moore’s Knral NsW>Yorker, 
A RUSTIC RHYME. 
BY WM. E. C. KNOWLES. 
As a reaper was thrusting bis serrated hook 
In the depths of the beautiful grain, 
I observed that he cast down a casual look 
To his cottage-home, bid in the plain— 
In the plain, whero the roses grew temptingly red, 
And the orchard and garden their edibles shed. 
He was weary and warm with the labor and heat, 
Needing rest, and a luncheon beside’; 
But the harvest was passing, and acres of wheat 
Stood around him on every side : 
All around, yet ungatbered, and time flymg by, 
While the reapers were few, and their wages were high. 
With his forehead uncovered, and burned by the sun, 
And his collar rolled back from his breast, 
He would sigh as he thought of how little was done— 
But an aere or so, at the best: 
But an acre or so, and a gathering cloud 
Wrapping earth and the sky in the folds of a shroud. 
And the cool breath that lifted the locks from his brow, 
As he swung round his glittering blade, 
Bore the storm swiftly cn, till shrubbery and bough 
Bent like reeds, where the truant winds strayed— 
Straying hither and thither, and whirling in air, 
From their chariot wheels, all the dust that was there. 
There’s no time to be lost, thought the reaper, if I 
Wish a shelter,—and ran to a tree ; 
While the storm burst in tury. and floods from the sky 
Deluged all in a miniature sea— 
Flooded all, till the sun from the west shone again, 
Setting many a pearl on the boautiful grain I 
gift’s Itemis, 
THE TWO BRIDALS. 
A few years ago I made one of the seventy- 
nine passengers on board the steamer Emily 
Barton, bound up the Tennessee. A pleasant, 
intelligent, go-ahead captain, a good steward, 
a social, refined company, made the trip one 
of pleasure ; indeed, long shall I remember the 
saucy Emily Barton and her superb living 
freight. One lovely summer afternoon, it was 
whispered that we were to have a wedding be¬ 
fore the boat reached her destination; said 
whisper starting first and low near the stern, 
somewhere in the vicinity of the ladies’ cabin, 
and speedily making its way to the hall, 
the boiler deck and even to the main; 
like the snowball down the mountain, gather¬ 
ing size, form, and momentum, as it rolled 
forward, until the principals were not only 
pointed out, but the parson—some scraps of 
the history of each, fiction, fact, and surmise, 
all hashed up ingeniously, leaving you in the 
half pleasant, half-painful suspense and doubt 
that opens the eyes wide, and strains the drum 
of the ear so tight to all transpiring around 
you. Well, we landed to wood at a magnifi¬ 
cent beech bottom, the tall, heavily leaved 
trees, with their silver grey trunks making a 
deep cool shade, while they, with the grassy 
green bank that bore them, were imaged in 
the glassy river, so clear, so true, that inter¬ 
vision only pointed the false from the real.— 
Cutting this charming spot in twain came a 
murmuring crystal spring brook, scarce four 
spans wide, to lose itself in the mass of the 
Tennessee waters, they in turn to be alike lost 
in the boundless sea. 
IS o sooner was the staging out., than there 
emerged from the ladies’ cabin a fine, manly 
looking fellow, dressed in faultless taste, intel¬ 
lect beaming in every feature, while over his 
face perfect happiness shone like phosphorus 
on the sea. Leaning on his arm was the most 
lovable woman it has ever been our lot to 
behold, her fine hazel eyes, (tell-tales that they 
were,) speaking deep emotion, and her ex¬ 
pressive lip, quivering with suppressed excite¬ 
ment, while her dress, step and grace were 
those of a queen. “ There they are 1” “ That’s 
she !” “ Oh, how handsome !” burst from 
many a lip as we instinctively made way to 
let them pass to the altar, and where that was 
we had about as clear an idea as a transcen- 
dentalist generally has of what he is talking 
about. But one thing we all seemed to know, 
that there was fun ahead, and to follow in 
their wake was the way to see it. As the la¬ 
dies passed, an arm was offered to each, and 
thus we marched out of the cabin down the 
stairs, across the stairing, and up the sloping 
bank. Some fifty yards up the brook the pair 
stopped, and joining hands they stood with 
the clear water between them—bridged as it 
was by the winding figures, and crossed by 
the stream of love as pure as itself. All was 
silent—still—until broken by the minister 
reading in an impressive manner, “ And of 
the rib which the Lord God had taken from 
man made he woman and brought her to the 
man. And Adam said, this is now bone of 
my bone and flesh of my flesh, she shall be 
called woman because she was taken out of 
man. Therefore shall a man leave his father 
and his mother and cleave unto his wife, and 
they twain shall be one flesh.” He closed the 
book and offered a most touching and beauti¬ 
ful prayer ; not a heart but seemed to feel that 
earnest appeal to the throne of grace. Then 
asking the usual questions he pronounced them 
husband and wife. The bride slowly sinking 
on her knees raised her beautiful face all cov¬ 
ered with tears, and her clasped hands, and 
in a touchingly sweet voice, tremulous with 
deep emotion said :—“ And now, O merciful 
Father, grant that our two lives thus united, 
may peacefully flow in one, even as this rivu¬ 
let, until we reach the river of death, and un¬ 
divided in faith and conduct, be perm' tied to 
enjoy thine eternal smiles in the land of the 
pure and blessed.” Every pHlse seemed stilled, 
hoping, wishing for more of this beautiful 
drama. Not a word, not a movement from 
all, all was happiness. 0, lovely panorama, 
how thou art graven on this heart 1 The hap¬ 
py man was in the act of imprinting a kiss 
upon the smiling lips of his magnificent bride. 
when the clear tones of a manly voice siartied 
all from their pleasant reverie ; the universal 
gaze rested upon a tall,, handsome Tennessse- 
au, whose eagle eye spoke the man —a fit rep¬ 
resentative of a Stale where sleeps a Jackson. 
“ I can’t stand this any lorger. I can’t.— 
Pardon, ladies, pardon ; J have a proposition 
to make on the honor of a man that never 
lies or trifles. I must make it or die —so here 
goes. Now I’ll marry, on this spot, any lady 
who has the nerve to face such music ; look 
at me, and if you can love me as she loves,” 
(pointing to the bride,) “ I’ll promise to be a 
husband to you, and such a husband as a true 
hearted man will make to the woman that 
comes trembling under his wing. I further 
say, lhat no spot or shame attaches to my 
name nor ever shall ; and this arm will sup¬ 
port and protect the one who can trust it.— 
Who will take it?” and his eye ran slowly 
over the crowd of handsome women around 
him. 
His earnest manner and novel speech had 
aroused an intense feeling ; all was surprise, 
and deep sympathy with the fearless, excited 
orator, when a fawn-like, blue-eyed girl, from 
the flowery banks of Alabama, stepped to his 
side, and looking confidently up in his eyes 
with her hands on his arms, said, “I am thine.” 
By this time his arms were around her waist, 
and parting her curls, black as the raven’s 
wing at midnight, looked steadfastly iu her 
face for a moment, and signed the contract 
with a kiss which all the married ladies pro¬ 
nounced genuine — perfectly satisfactory.— 
Raising his flashing eyes with a triumphant 
expression from the p'easant task just men¬ 
tioned, he said:—‘‘Where is that parson? 
send him right here —on this spot we will be 
made one. 1 never let such luck as this pass me 
by waiting a minute- so go ahead,” and on 
that spot where they first met were they sol¬ 
emnly united forever. When the words— 
“ What Gcd hath joined toget er let no man 
put asunder,” a shout went up that awoke 
the echoes for a mile ; every hand was extend¬ 
ed to the happy, lucky, venturesome fellow, and 
every young lady in that crowd pressed the 
lip of his young and handsome wife. For a 
moment 1 wished I were her, but I instantly 
recovered mjself and pushed the weakness 
from me ; woman kissing always seemed a 
waste of sweetness to me, but they know best. 
Laughing, shouting, happy, we all retuned on 
board. Our generous captain set a splendid 
supper ; the clerk made out two certificates—■ 
they were signed by the captain and seventy- 
four witnesses (five more makes nine, you 
know, men and women all told ;) everybody 
signed it. 
Then we danced, we laughed, we made 
children of ourselves—yes, made fools of our¬ 
selves. Be that as it may, when the watch 
changed at the noon of night, the bluffs on 
the dark shores of the river returned only an 
unbroken echo of the hoarse coughing of the 
Emily Barton’s engines, and in our dreams we 
vainly endeavored to vie with the lovely reali 
ty of the evening. 
A FORTUNATE KISS. 
Tiik following little story is by Miss F. 
Bremer, who vouches for its truthfulness : 
In the University of Upsala, in Sweden, 
lived a young student, a lovely youth, with a 
great love for studies, but without means for 
pursuing them. He was poor, and without 
connections. Still he studied, living in great 
poverty, but keeping a cheerful heart, and try¬ 
ing not to look at the future, which looked so 
grimly at him. His good humor and good 
qualities made him beloved by his young com¬ 
rades. Once he was standing with some of 
them in the great square of Upsala, prattling 
away an hour of leisure, when the attention of 
the young men became arrested by a young 
and elegant lady, who at the side of an elderly 
one, was walking slowly over the pla?e. It 
was the daughter of the Governor of Upland, 
living in the city, and the lady with her was 
the governess. She was generally known for 
her goodness and gentleness of character, and 
looked upon with admiration by the students. 
As the young men stood gazing at her as she 
passed on like a graceful vision, one of them 
exc’aimed : 
“ Well, it would be worth something to have 
a kiss from such a mouth.” 
The poor student, the hero of our story, 
who looking intently on that pure angelic 
face, exclaimed, as if by inspiration, “ Well, I 
think I could have it.” 
“ What!” cried his friends in a chorus, “ are 
you crazy ? Do you know her ?” &c. 
“ Not at all,” he answered,” but I think 
she would kiss me now, if 1 asked her.” 
<< What, in this place, before all our eyes.” 
‘ In this place, before your eyes.” 
Freely ?” 
/ Freely.” 
“Well, if she will give you a kiss in that 
manner, 1 will give you a thousand dollars,” 
exclaimed one of the party. 
“ And I!” “ and 1!” cried three or four oth¬ 
ers ; for it so happened that several rich young 
men were in the group, and the bets rau high 
on so improbable an event—the challenge was 
made and received in less time than we take to 
relate it. 
Our hero (my authority tells not whether he 
was handsome or plain ; I have peculiar ideas 
for believing he was rather plain, but singular¬ 
ly good looking at the same time ;) immediate¬ 
ly walked off to the young lady, and said,— 
“ (mie froleen) my fortune is in your hands.” 
She looked at him in astonishment, but arrest- 
ed her steps. He proceeded to state his name 
and condition, his aspirations, and related, 
simply and truly, what had just passed be¬ 
tween him and his companions. The young 
lady listened attentively, and, when he ceased 
to speak, she said blushingly, but with great 
sweetness—“11' by so little a thing so much 
good can be effected, it would be foolish for 
me to refuse your request,” and she kissed him 
publicly in the open square. 
Next day the student was sent for by the 
Governor. lie wanted to see the man who 
had dared to seek a kies from his daughter in 
that way, and whom she had consented to kiss 
so. He received him with a scrutinizing bow’ 
but after an hour’s conversation was so pleas¬ 
ed with him lhat he ordered him to dine at his 
table during his studies at Upsala. 
Our young friend pursued his studies iu a 
manner which soon mude him regarded as the 
most promising scholar at the University.— 
Three years were now passed since the day of 
the first kiss, when the young man was allow¬ 
ed to give a second one to the daughter of the 
Governor, as his intended bride. 
He became, later, one of the greatest schol¬ 
ars in Sweden, and as much respected for his 
learning as for his character. 11 is works will 
endure while time lasts, among the works of 
science ; and from this happy union sprang a 
family well known in Sweden even at the pres¬ 
ent day, and whose wealth and high position 
in society are regarded as trifles in compari¬ 
son with its wealth of goodness and love. 
CURIOUS WEDDINGS. 
We have heard of two marriages of recent 
occurrence here. One was a marriage roman¬ 
tic. It was that of a stockholder in the up 
per part of the city The weddmg took place 
at church ; a hundred young ladies, dressed 
like houris, acted as bridesmaids, and an equal 
number of gentlemen as groomsmen. They 
formed a procession along the street which 
was distracting to behold ; and entered the 
marital home from a street covered with flow¬ 
ers. High revelry was kept up till a late 
hour ; and as matrimony is contagious, a 
small epidemic of weddings is expected to 
rage soon. 
't he other was a marriage dramatic. A 
respectable young citizen wooed and won a 
beautiful young lady, equal in station to him¬ 
self. The wedding day was fixed, and every¬ 
thing in preparation ; when the young lady 
suddenly discovered (as many a one before her 
has done,) that her allianced was not the saint 
he pretended to be, and in her mortification 
she discarded him. lie then put on dignified 
airs, and told his friends he had broken off 
the match, because he had discovered that the 
young lady’s family was not as respectable as 
he had supposed. This reached the ear of the 
young lady’s brother-in-law, and he took it 
upon himself to interfere in a friendly way.— 
The young man had packed his baggage for 
a Northern tour, and was on board a steamer 
which had her smoke up for departure. 'The 
brother-in-law there found him ; introduced 
himself politely, and in the most jiersuasive 
manner in the world—namely, by putting one 
hand on the young man’s shoulder, and with 
the other fumbling in his own coat-pocket— 
asked him to step ashore and get married.— 
The young man awoke to a sense of his injus¬ 
tice, and consented. In half an hour he was 
married and happy ; the brother-in-law acting 
as his groomsman, and wishing him joy when 
the ceremony was over. 
Now, who is prophetic enough to tell 
which of the above marriages will end in the 
greatest happiness .—New Orleans Crescent. 
SELECTION FOR A NEWSPAPER. 
Most people think the selection of matter 
for a newspaper the easiest part of the busi¬ 
ness. Ilow great an error! It is by all 
means the most difficult. To look over and 
over hundreds of exchange papers every week, 
from which to select enough for one, especial¬ 
ly when the question is not what shall, but 
what shall not be selected, is no easy task. If 
every person who reads a paper could have 
edited it we should hear less complaint. Not 
unfrequently is it the case that an editor looks 
all over his exchange papers for something 
interesting and can find absolutely nothing.— 
Every paper is drier than a contribution box, 
and yet something must be had ; his paper 
must come out with something in it, and he 
does the best he can. To an editor who has 
the least care about what he selects, the 
writing he has to do is the easiest part of the 
labor. Every subscriber thinks the paper 
printed for his own benefit; and if there is 
nothing in it that suits him it must be stop¬ 
ped ; it is good for nothing. J ust as many 
subscribers as an editor may have, so many 
tastes has he to consult. One wants some¬ 
thing sound. One likes anecdotes, fun and 
frolic ; aud the next door neighbor wonders 
that a man of good sense will put such stuff 
in a paper. Something spicy comes out, and 
the editor is a black-guard. Next comes some¬ 
thing argumentative, and the editor is a dull 
fool. And so between them all you see the 
poor fellow gets roughly handled. They never 
think that what does not please them may 
please the next man ; but they insist, if the 
paper does not please them it is good for 
nothing.— Washington Globe. 
Advice to Readers. —If you measure the 
value of study by the insight you get into 
subjects, not by the power of saying that you 
read many books, you will soon perceive that 
no time is bo badly saved as that which is 
saved by getting through a book in a hurry. 
For if to the time you have given you added 
a little more, the subject would have been 
fixed on your mind, and the whole time profit¬ 
ably employed ; whereas, upon your present 
arrangement, because you would not give a 
little more, you have lost all. Besides, this 
is overlooked by raj.id and superficial readers, 
that the best way of reading books with ra¬ 
pidity is to acquire that habit of severe at- 
tention to what they contain, that perpetually 
confines the mind to the single object it has 
in view. When you have read enough to 
have acquired the habit of reading without 
sufferirg your mind to wander, and when you 
can bring to bear upon your subject a great 
I share of previous knowledge, you may then 
read with great rapidily ; before that, as you 
may have taken the wrong road, the faster 
you proceed the more you will you be sure to 
err .—Sidney Smith. 
A n act by which we make one friend and 
one enemy is a losing game, because revenge 
is a much stronger principle than gratitude. 
HURT 'ff3beHiseh)ei)fs 
A Liquor Triad. —A man named Parker 
was tried in Boston, a few days ago, for vio¬ 
lating the Maine law, when a witness testified 
in this wise : 
Government—“ Have you drank anything 
at Mr. Parker’s within the last month ?”— 
Witness.—“ Yes, water.” G.—“ Have you 
drank anything else? ” AV.— “ Yes.” G. — 
“ Any rum, or brandy, or gin ? ” W .—“ No.” 
G.—“ Wbat did you drink ? ” W.—“ i don’t 
know.” G.—“ What did you call for ? ”— 
W.—“ I called for Frank Pierce.” G.—“Did 
you get it?” W.—“I did.” G.—“ What 
did it look like ? ” W.—“ It looked like 
Frank Pierce.” G.—“ What did it smell 
like ? ” W.—“ It smelt like Frank Pierce.” 
G.—“What did it taste like?” W.—“It 
tasted like Frank Pierce.” G.—“ Air. Wit¬ 
ness, on your oath, what do you believe you 
drank ?” W.—“ 1 believe 1 drank Frank 
Pierce.” 
Amid a general explosion, in which the 
Court and Jury and Bar joined, the District 
Attorney said to his assistant, “Mr. Horner, 
pay this man’s witness fee, and let him go,” 
and he went. 
A Fair Retort. —A correspondent of the 
Home Journal, iu a notice of a wedding he 
had recently attended, gives an amusing ac¬ 
count of the discomfiture of a beau in an at¬ 
tempt to get the upper hand of a j ouuggirl, 
who, from her modest, downcast eyes and un- 
presuming demeanor, he doubtless thought a 
lair butt for his shafis of wit. 
“ Do you know what I was thinking of all 
the time during the ceremony ? ” asked he. 
“No sir—what ? ” 
“ Why, I was blessing my stais that l was 
not the bridegroom.” 
“ And 1 suppose the bride was doing the 
same thing,” rejoined his fair antagonist. 
An Odd Comparison. —A number of na¬ 
tive Congoes—real Guinea negroes—arrived 
in Salem, Mass., a short time ago. The Ga¬ 
zette says: “ They had managed to acquire 
considerable kuowdedge of English, and a re¬ 
ply of one of them to a questioner, displayed 
a shrewdness w’orth mentioning. A specta¬ 
tor happened among other queries to ask how 
they liked America, Congo immediately an¬ 
swered, ‘ Ah, me no like Merican land—cold 
morning, cold night, make nose leak like a 
basket.’ The crowd shouted, and Congo, 
showing his ivory, tumbled into the ship’s 
boat to be convened to the vessel’s side.” 
About Brains.— Governor Trumbull, of 
Connecticut, on the occasion of a grand riot, 
ascended a block, and attempted by a speech 
to quiet the people, when a random missile 
hitting him in the head felled him to the 
ground. He was badly hurt, and as his 
lriends were carrying him into his house, his 
wife met him at the door and exclaimed : 
“ Why my husband, they have knocked 
your brains out! ” 
“No they haven’t,” said the Governor; 
“ if I’d had any brains I shouldn’t have gone 
there.” 
A Good Anecdote is related of the Rev. 
Dr. Kirk, ol Boston. Early in life, a lady of 
fortune, whose attention was awakened to¬ 
wards him by his conspicuous talents, wrote 
him a note offering him her heart, fortune, and 
hand. The Rev. I)r., however, with more 
terseness than gallantry, replied to her, that 
she had better give her heart to the Lord, her 
fortune to the church, aud reserve her hand for 
him who should ask it. 
The following pertinent question was ad¬ 
dressed to a lawyer in a neighboring village : 
“ If distance lends enchantment to the view, 
and the view refuses to return it, can distance 
receive any legal redress?” Lawyer refuses 
to answer until he receives a retainer. 
“ Sam, did you ever double the Cape of 
Good Hope ? ” “I expect 1 have.” “ When?” 
“ 1 >ast night, when I put my arm around the 
cape that belongs to the dress of a young la¬ 
dy whom I have good hopes of making Mrs. 
Dusen berry.” 
“ AIr. Smith,” said a little fellow the other 
day to his sister’s beau, “ I wish you wouldn’t 
praise our Ann Alaria’s eyes any more.— 
You’ve made her so proud that she wont 
speak to Cousin Laura, or help mother the 
least bit.” 
“Wiiat sort of a sermon do you like?” 
said Dr. RubIi to Robert Morris, one day. “ 1 
like, sir,” replied Mr. Alorris, “ that kind of 
preaching which drives a man into the corner 
of his pew, and makes him think the devil is 
after him.” 
“ Now, papa, tell me what is humbug?” 
“ It is,” replied papa, “ when mamma pre¬ 
tends to be very fond of me, and puts no but¬ 
tons on my Bhirt till reminded of it a dozen 
times.” Queer definition that; still there’s 
some truth in it. 
There is a sign projecting from the door of 
a mantau-maker’s shop in Troy, the conclu¬ 
ding portion of which reads thus: “ N. B.— 
Dresses made lower than ever! ” 
The Journal of the Academy of Aledicine 
at Turin states, among other things, that tall 
men live longer than those of small stature. 
Of course they do, and lie longer in bed. 
A Tbavedeb, writirg home from the coast 
of Africa, says : “ The jeople die very fast, 
and the sheep have very long tails.” Suffi¬ 
ciently concise for any reader.
