MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER i AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
OCTOBER. 
BY THE LATE WILLIAM GAYLORD CLARK. 
Solemn, yet beautiful to view, 
Month of my heart I thou dawnest here, 
With sad and faded leaves to strew 
The summer’s melancholy bier. 
The moaning of thy winds I hear, 
As the red sunset dies afar. 
And bars of purple clouds appear, 
Obscuring every western star. 
Thou solemn month ! I hear thy voice ; 
It tells my soul of other days, 
When but to live was to rejoice, 
When earth was lovely to my gaze : 
O visions bright! 0 blessed hours ! 
Where are their living raptures now ? 
I ask my spirit’s wearied powers— 
I ask my pale and fevered brow 1 
I look to Nature, and behold 
My life’s dim emblems, rustling round, 
In hues of crimson and of gold— 
The year’s dead honors on the ground ; 
And sighing with the winds, I feel, 
While their low pinions murmur by, 
How much their sweeping tones reveal 
Of life and human destiny. 
When Spring’s delightsome moments sLtme, 
They came in zephyrs from the West ; 
They bore the wood-lark’s melting tone, 
They stirred the blue lake’s glassy breast; 
Through Summer, fainting in the heat, 
They lingered in the forest shade; 
But changed and strengthened now, they beat 
In storm, oe’r mountain, glen, and glade. 
How like those transports of the breast, 
When life is fresh and joy is new ; 
Soft as the halcyon’s downy nest, 
And transient all, as they are true ? 
They stir the leaves in that bright wreath 
Which Hope about her forehead twines, 
Till Grief’s hot sighs around it breathe; 
Then Pleasure’s lip its smile resigns. 
Alas ! for Time, and Death, and Care ! 
What gloom about our way they fling ! 
Like clouds in Autumn’s gusty air, 
Tire burial pageant of the Spi ing. 
The dreams, that each successive year 
Seemed bathed in hues of brighter pride, 
At last like withered leaves appear, 
And sleep in darkness side by side.

HEROISM. 
AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR. WITH SPAIN. 
BY MARY STUAJ.T 
It was in the spring of 1803. Napoleon 
was prosecuting his vigorous victories in old 
Spain, and adding fresh laurels to his already 
overgrown laurel crown. 
Murat was in Madrid at the head of his 
troops. It was well known that Russia was 
at that period a friend of France. Baron 
Stroaganoff, the Russian Ambassador of 
Spain, was therefore on excellent terms with 
Murat, and wa3 in the habit of listening to 
his schemes of war with a coolness of atten¬ 
tion—the natural result of his neutral position 
—which made him, on more than one occa¬ 
sion, an excellent and valuable counsellor. 
The following example of success of a plan 
of his proposing, affords also a case of rare 
youthful heroism as ever fell to the lot of his¬ 
torian to describe. 
Observing, as they sat together one even¬ 
ing, that Murat appeared perplexed, he in¬ 
quired the reason. A shadow passed over 
the fine countenance of Murat, as he replied : 
“ I am indeed perplexed, and this time the 
evil is beyond our reach.” 
“You are not sure of that,” replied the 
lively Russian, taking his segar out of his 
mouth; “ tell me what is the matter.” 
The “ Feathered King,” as Murat was call¬ 
ed in Italy, from his extreme love of dress, 
moved uneasily in his round backed arm-chair. 
“ I am indeed perplexed,” replied he. “ The 
fact is that I have important despatches to 
• send to Gen. Juno, at Lisbon, and the difficul¬ 
ties which lie in the way are, I fear, insur¬ 
mountable. All the roads, great and small, 
and even the wood3, are filled with Spanish 
troops, or what is worse, with marauding 
guerillas. I see no possible means of trans¬ 
mitting papers, and yet my not doing so may 
ensure consequences fatal to France.” 
The Russian Ambassador put his segar in 
mouth again, and fell into a fit of musing.— 
Murat gazed in silence upon the ugly profile 
pictured on the wall by the light of a pair of 
tallow candles. Suddenly he saw the wide 
mouth open. 
“ I have it! I have it! the easiest thing in 
the world. Admiral Sinavin, our Admiral, is 
in the port of Lisbon. Send me one of the 
bravest and sharpest—do you hear?—of your 
Polish Lancers. He shall put on a Russian 
uniform, I will give him despatches for Sina- 
vin, and you can give him your instructions 
for the French General, verbally, and I will 
answer for it all will be right, even though he 
should be taken prisoner twenty times between 
this and Lisbon. The Spanish army is too 
anxious to preserve the Russian neutrality to 
make a messenger of mine a source of disa¬ 
greement with my country.” 
Murat, though somewhat doubtful, liked 
the scheme. Seizing a pen and ink, he wrote 
as follows to Brasinki, the commander-in- chief 
of the Polish troops who had joined the French 
army: 
‘^Despatches of moment are to be imme¬ 
diately forwarded to Gen. Junot at Lisbon. 
Select for that purpose an intelligent, coura¬ 
geous young man from your troops, the best 
you have, and send him to me. Murat.” 
Two days after, a youth presented himself 
before Murat, for whom the Polish commander 
said he would answer with his life. He was 
but eighteen years old, and named Leckinski. 
Murat was not a little astonished to find 
the youth manifest the utmost* eagerness to 
undertake his expedition, one of no common 1 
peril; for, if discovered by the Spaniards his ; 
fate would be certain death. He listened with 
a smile to all anticipations of danger and diffi¬ 
culty, and said with a bow : 
“ If your Imperial Highness will give me 
my orders, I pledge myself to execute the mis¬ 
sion. I am deeply grateful to my commander 
for having chosen me from among my com¬ 
rades. There was not one who was not emu¬ 
lous of distinction.” 
Murat augured favorably of the young 
Pole’s courage and intelligence. He gave him 
his verbal instructions. Baron Strongonoff 
supplied him with a bundle of unimportant 
messages to Admiral Sinavin. The young 
man was equipped in a Russian uniform, and 
set out for Portugal on horseback. 
During the first two days he pursued his 
course without molestation ; but on the morn¬ 
ing of the third day he was surrounded by a 
party of Spanish troops, who disarmed him 
and conducted him before the General in com¬ 
mand of the military force of the district. His 
name was Castanos. ' 
Leckinski knew perfectly well that he was 
lost if suspected to be an adherent of the 
French. Consequently he immediately resolv¬ 
ed within himself not to utter a syllable of 
French, but to confine himself entirely to 
Russian and German, which languages he 
spoke with facility. The angry imprecations 
of the troops who conducted him to Castanos, 
sufficiently convinced him of the fate that 
awaited him if his real character was made 
known. The horrible death of Gen. Renee, 
who only a few weeks previous had perished in 
tortures for no other offence than that of at¬ 
tempting to join Junot, might well have shaken 
his fortitude. 
“ Who are you ?” asked the Spanish Gene¬ 
ral, in French. 
Leckinski looked at his interrogator, and 
replied in German: 
“ I do not understand.” 
Gen. Castanos understood German; but 
not wishing to occupy his own time with this 
business, he called one of the officers of the 
staff and gave the matter over to him. 
The examination continued. The young 
Pole gave his answers alternately in Russian 
and German, keeping- himself most cautiously 
on his guard against dropping a single word 
of French. He bad no easy part to play, for 
he was narrowly watched by a crowd of fierce 
Spaniards, thirsting for his blood, and betray¬ 
ing a savage eagerness that he might be found 
guilty—that was, declared to be in the em¬ 
ployment o the French. 
The furious excitement was increased, and 
his safety much endangered by a circumstance 
which now occurred. An aid de camp of 
Castanos, woo had been one of the most 
eager to declare him a French spy in disguise, 
rushed into the room, after a short absence, 
holding by the arm a peasant, in a brown 
jacket, and a high crowned hat, surmounted 
by a high feather. Having forced his way 
through the crowd, he confronted bis compan¬ 
ion with Leckinski. 
“ Look at that man ! ” said he, “ and then 
inform us if he is a German or a Russian.— 
He is a spv, I would swear by my salvation,” 
continued he, stamping his foot angrily on the 
ground. 
The peasant for a few moments gazed 
steadily at the young Pole. Then his dark 
eye kindled, and with a bitter expression of 
fury and hatred he exclaimed : 
“ He is a Frenchman ! he is a Frenchman !” 
He then turned to the aid de camp and said : 
“ Some weeks age I went to Madrid with a 
load of hay for the barracks. This man is 
the one to whom I delivered the forage; he 
gave me a receipt for it. I stood behind him 
for a long time, by the broken gate under the 
trees. When I saw him brought in to day I 
said to Antonio, yonder, (Antonio, my bro¬ 
ther-in-law,) ‘ there is the Frenchman to whom 
I delivered the forage.’ ” 
“ Let him be shot! let him be shot! ” ex¬ 
claimed a dozen unruly voices. 
“ Shoot him! shoot him!” echoed from the 
crowd assembled to look in at the windows at 
the “ French Spy.” 
“ But,” said an officer, “ is it prudent to 
expose ourselves to the risk of difficulties with 
Russia thus hastily?” 
“ Certainly not,” replied another officer, 
“ but let it be proved that the man is really a 
Russian.” 
Leckinski heard all this, for be understood 
Spanish very well. He was led out and lock¬ 
ed up in a dungeon. 
At the time of his arrest he had not tasted 
food since the afternoon of the preceding day, 
and when the prison door was locked upon 
him, eighteen hours had elapsed since he had 
partaken of any nourishment. Add to this 
the fatigue and anxiety he had suffered, and it 
will not be a matter of surprise that he threw 
himself in a state of utter exhaustion on a 
mattress which lay on the ground, and was 
soon asleep. 
This being ascertained through the loop 
hole in the wall, one of the officers returned 
to his own house. 
His young and handsome wife was sitting 
on a yellow cushion playing the guitar. 
“ Benita,” said he, “ we have, we think, ta¬ 
ken a French spy, but he pretends to be in 
the Russian service ; that may be but a pre¬ 
text ; nevertheless, we have not been able to 
make him betray himself. Woman’s art will 
sometimes avail where man’s sagacity has 
failed ; come with me to the guard house.” 
In that country of faithless wives, duennas 
and intrigues, Beniti loved her husband. Her 
guitar was quickly laid aside, her yellow 
cushion rolled away, her mantilla thrown over 
her black hair. 
Arrived there, the Spanish officer bade her 
look through the loop-hole at the sleeping 
youth. 
“ I will wait here,” said he, “ do you go in 
with a lamp, and throwing the light suddenly 
on his face, awake him. When thus thrown 
off his guard listen to what he says, and watch 
his gestures.” 
Benita bowed her head in token of obedi¬ 
ence. The jailor opened the door noiselessly, 
and she entered. 
Leckinski bad been asleep about two hours 
when some one softly approached his couch. 
It was Benita,. A hand was held before the 
lamp to shade the glare from his eye3, and 
when the hand was withdrawn he felt a gentle 
tap on his shoulder, and a sweet toned voice 
uttered the words in French : 
“Will you have some supper ?” 
Benita had a true woman’s heart. She 
dreaded the idea of being accessory to the evil 
planned for this young man. His unprotect¬ 
ed situation and his early years filled her 
heart with pity. Still she dared not disobey. 
As he spoke, she grasped his wrist with firm¬ 
ness, which recalled his scattered senses as he 
awoke. 
The young Pole, thus suddenly aroused 
from his slumbers by the glare of light and 
the words of the young woman, accompanied 
by a tap on his shoulder, was about to forget 
himself, when the pressure of his wrist, by 
exciting his wonder, brought the circumstan¬ 
ces of his situation clearly before him. 
He raised himself quickly and without 
opening his eyes, asked in German : 
“ What do you say ?” 
“ Send him some supper,” exclaimed Cas¬ 
tanos, upon hearing the result of his trial, 
“ saddle his horse, and let him continue his 
journey. He is no Frenchman. How could 
he have kept on the mask when thus taken 
by surprise ?—this thing is impossible.” 
But Castanos did not exercise undivided 
authority. Leckinski’s supper was sent to 
him, but he was not permitted to leave the 
dungeon until morning. He was then led to 
a place whence he could behold the mutilated 
bodies of ten French who had been caught 
and massacred by the Spanish peasantry.— 
Here for the space of several hours he was 
watched by eyes and ears eager to catch at 
any unguarded word or gesture. 
“ Gentlemen,” said Gen. Castanos to his 
brother officers, “ I am as fully aware as you 
of the importance of preventing communica¬ 
tion betweeu the different French .comman¬ 
ders at present in Spain ; but we cannot with 
justice convict this young^man upon the mere 
assertion of a peasant, who may be mistaken 
through resemblance, or misled by his fanati¬ 
cal patriotism.” 
It was cheering relief to Leckinski to be 
led back to prison ; although his mind was 
haunte.i by horrid images and melancholy 
forebodings, he nevertheless fell a second time 
into a prolcund sleep. 
Another nare was now laid for him. Amid 
the silence w ich prevailed in the dungeon, 
the door was again softly opened, and the 
same harmonious voice which had addressed 
him the night before, said in a low tone : 
“ Rise and follow me—you are saired—your 
horse is waiting.” 
But whilst Benita repeated by rote in 
French the words she dared not refuse to utter, 
the same warning pressure of the wrist arous¬ 
ed his watchfulness. 
Four cruel black eyes were watching the 
dungeon scene through a loop hole in the wall. 
They saw Benita—they heard the words— 
these blood-thirsty Spanish officers—but Be- 
nita’s adroitness prevented their seeing any¬ 
thing more. 
At the words “ you are saved,” Leckinski 
started up ; but the grasp of Benita’s slender 
fingers recalled his presence of mind; he re¬ 
plied as before in German : 
“ What do you say ?” 
On being informed of the result of this new 
temptation, Castanos urged his immediate 
liberation ; he was again overruled. 
In the morning the youDg Pole was con¬ 
ducted before a sort of court, composed of the 
officers of Castano’s staff. They addressed to 
him the severest threats, but firm in his reso¬ 
lution, he appeared not to understand one 
word which they were saying. He inquired 
in German for an interpreter. One at last 
was produced. 4 
He was asked what was the object of his 
journey from Madrid to Lisbon. 
He replied by producing the dispatches 
from the Russian Ambassador to Admiral 
Sinavan, and his passport. And, but for the 
unfortunate encounter with the peasant these 
proofs might have been satisfactory, but he 
was still the object of suspicion. 
“ Ask him,” said the President of the Com¬ 
mittee, “ whether he is friendly to the Span¬ 
iards, since he is not a Frenchman.” 
The interpreter translated the question. 
“ Yes, doubtless,” replied Leckinski. “ I 
love and respect the noble character of the 
Spaniards, and I wish your nation and my 
own were united.” 
“ Colonel,” says the interpreter, in French, 
“ the prisoner says he hates us, and would like 
to see the whole nation as one man, that he 
might annihilate it with a single blow.” 
Whilst these words were uttered, the eyes 
of the whole assembly attentively watched 
the prisoner’s countenance to see what effect 
would be produced by this new trick or rather 
snare. He stood perfectly unmoved. 
“ Gentlemen,” said General Castanos, “ it 
appears to me there is no ground of suspicion 
against this young man; and therefore he 
must be set at liberty and allowed to pursue 
his jonrney immediately.” 
Accordingly, his arms and despatches were 
restored to him, and the brave young Pole, 
after passing through a series of trials which 
required almost superhuman fortitude and 
presence of mind, went on his way. He ar¬ 
rived safely in Lisbon, fulfilled his mission, 
and wished to return to Madrid ; but General 
Junot, we are glad to say, refused to allow 
him to expose himself again to the dangers 
he had so miraculously escaped. 
Leckinski never saw Benita again. But a 
feeling of gratitude to the lovely Spaniard 
never left him. Leckinski often told the 
story to his friends, after hi3 return to Poland, 
when the war was over.

Adversity exasperates fools, dejects cow¬ 
ards, draws out the faculties of the wise and 
ingenious, puts the modest to the necessity of 
trying their skill, awes the opulent, and makes 
the idle industrious. Much may be said in 
favor of adversity ; but the worst of it is, it 
has no friends.

TOO ANXIOUS. 
An amusing affair happened lately between 
a coal dealer and a purchaser. ’The latter 
was very anxious to see that the former did 
not cheat him ; so he (the purchaser) inspect¬ 
ed the weighing of the coal himself, and felt 
perfectly satisfied that he got his fall allow¬ 
ance, without any desire on the part of the 
coal dealer to shave. However, while the 
coal was weighing, the driver of the team 
could not help laughing, aware at the time 
that the purchaser was particular about the 
full weight of coal. The purchaser noticing 
the laughter of the driver, asked him, when he 
received his coal, what it was about: so the 
driver told him : 
“ Why,” said he, “ when your coal was 
weighing, you were standing on the scales, and 
was weighed with it.” 
“ Is it possible ? Why, I weigh nearly two 
hundred pounds!” 
“ Well, sir,” said the driver, “ you are sold/” 
“ Yes,” was the sorrowful reply, “ and I 
have bought myself, too.”— N. J. Patriot.

The Subscriber begs to call the attention of the Agri¬ 
culturists to the above invaluable constituent for their

expense by the side of the latter, producing much heav¬ 
ier grain. 
Tho late scrupulous experiments made with tlii» arti¬ 
cle on the Model State Farm, Mass., places It at tho head 
of the list over all ether concentrated Manures. -Like¬ 
wise has It been pronounced by tho Committee of the 
Model State Farm, Petersburg, Va., without an equal.

name being offered in tho market for disposal, purport¬ 
ing to be of the same description, Ac., somo caution

avoid deception being again practiced, each bag or pack- 
agewill be distinctly marked with the maker’s name.

tinued patronage. His article he warrants genuine,
