AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER 
MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YO RKER 
FQRBUSH'S MOWING AND REAPING MACHINE. 
Patented July 20; 1852. 
The American Mowing and Reaping Machine Co. have 
purchased the Patent Right for the above Machine for (lie 
United States, England and Canada, and are now manufac¬ 
turing a large number to supply the demands of the com¬ 
ing season. The advantages which this machine possesses 
over all others are obvious, ami will readily be acknowl¬ 
edged by all disinterested persons. Being a combined ma¬ 
chine, and working equally well in grain or grass, it enables 
tlie firmer of moderate means to procure a valuable Reap¬ 
er and Matter in one, which will do the work of both, and 
at less than half the usual cost. ■ As a Mower it lias no su¬ 
perior; it was thoroughly tented the past, season in every 
variety of grass, and in many different sections of the 
country, and in every case where it was properly made, it 
gave perfect satisfaction. It will cut and spread from 10 to 
15 acres of any kind of grass per day. As a Reaper it has 
never been excelled, and lias no rival that can in ijll respects 
successfully compete with it. The patent for this machine 
covers many points of excellence which have heretofore 
been unknown, and which (of course) can he used in no 
other. In the construction and arrangement of these ma¬ 
chines great pains have been taken to ensure the necessary 
strength, simplicity and durability. They are easily kept 
iu order, and it, requires but a few moments to change tlie 
machine from a Mower to a Reaper, and in cither form it 
is equally strong and substantial. It is not liable to get 
out of order, and if any accident should happen it could be 
readily repaired bv any ordinary mechanic. In the con¬ 
struction of the machines no expense has been spared to 
render them both perfect and durable. The Mower weighs 
but 731 lbs.—tlie Mower and Reaper combined 900 lbs. To 
any person desirous of purchasing, or of understanding 
the machine more fully, illustrated circulars will be sent 
with full descriptions, references, &c., kc.

But one thing troubles me, of which I had 
not thought till now; that it is necessary to 
have our cards engraved. Married people are 
usually “Mr. and Mrs. so and so,’’ or “Mr. 
such a one and lady,” but will any one please 
to be so kind as to tell me how I and my little 
wife are to be designated. Will it be “ M r. and 
Dr. iiubbs,” or “Mr. and Mrs. Hubbs, M. D.,” 
or, as the ladies are going ahead so fast in 
these days of Women’s Rights, will I sink into 
still lesser insignificance, and shall we be “ Dr. 
Todd and gentleman ,” or must 1 drop the 
name of Iiubbs altogether, and become a 
Todd, too? Somebody please tell me how to 
have those cards engraved! 
day lifeless in the street, or that the morning 
would soon come, when the power to rise from 
my bed would have left me. 
I remained at my boardinghouse, and found 
no comfort in anything but my cigar, and my 
dread disease grew worse and worse. As yet 
1 had consulted no physician, partly, 1 think, 
from tlie apprehension of having my fears con¬ 
firmed; but as I sat by my. window one day, 
smoking as vigorously as ever, gazing abstract¬ 
edly across the street, my attention was ar¬ 
rested by a modest little sign upon an oppo¬ 
site blind—“ C. L. Todd, M. D.” Wlile think¬ 
ing whether or not it would be best to make a 
trial of a physician’s skill, a sudden tinge and 
flutter decided me; yes, I would send for Dr. 
Todd, and know the worst at once! 
Summoning the only male servant belonging 
to the establishment, I told him to step and 
ask Dr. Todd to come and see me as soon as 
possible. 
The boy grinned. 
“ What are you laughing at?” I asked, “ is 
not Dr. Todd a good physician?” 
“ Oh, yes sir,” he answered, “ I believe she is 
a very good physician, but she ha’nt never 
tended nobody here.” 
“She!” said I to myself, “the boy surely 
has Welch blood in his veins; they always she 
everything.” 
The boy soon returned, saying, “ the Doctor 
wasn’t home, sir, but I left your name on the 
| slate.” 
In the course of the afternoon, as I lay upon 
the sofa, with my hand pressed upon my head, 
to still its irregular pulsations, there was a soft 
tap at my door. “ Come in,” I called out, and 
to my surprise, in came the neatest, brightest, 
most cheerful looking little .. oman it had ever 
been my lot to meet. 
“You sent for me, I believe, sir?’ she said, 
iu a quick, brisk, pleasant way. 
“ 1? No, madam; you are laboring under a 
mistake.” 
“Ah! I beg pardon,” said the little woman, 
“I found on my slate the name of Mr. Hubbs, 
number fourteen, Mrs. Grey’s boarding bouse, 
with a request that I would call and see him. 
“Your slate, madame?” I exclaimed, my as¬ 
tonishment increasing every moment, “ you 
surely are not a-”

THE DEAD. 
The earth is one great charnel house; 
At every step we tread on graves— 
Where battle plowed with share of steel, 
The blood-perfected harvest waves! 
New life and bloom from old decay. 
New form from olden chaos springs. 
And all the glory of the past 
The present bears on living wings. 
The mellow pomp of Autumn woods. 
The flaming red and paly gold, 
Speak to the poet’s gifted eye 
Of fallen forest’s teeming mould. 
E’en so are they who walk above 
Sustained by those who sleep below. 
For such the will of Him, who hade 
Tho tide of being ebb and flow. 
From life to death, from death to life, 
From bloom to blight, from blight to bloom. 
So throbs the tireless pulse of Fate, 
And earth affords no quiet tomb. 
Who sleep upon the mountain’s top ? 
Who rest within tlie quiet rale ? 
Who lie in ocean’s sparry caves 
Far, far beneath the glancing sail ? 
None, none; far as the viewless winds 
And flowing waters wander free. 
The ashes of the dead are strewn— 
The modest flower, the mighty tree. 
All forms of animated life 
Which walk the earth, or wing the air— 
Go, view them all, and view them well,

THE QUAKER AND HIS APPRENTICE; 
OR, THE BEAUTY OF DOING GOOD TO THOSE WHO 
DESPITEFULLY USE YOU. 
Answer in two weeks. 
It is now twenty years since we bung up on 
a peg in the old New Hampshire Statesman 
office, at Concord, N. H., a little brown jacket 
and blue cap, and commenced “ learning the 
cases.” We remember that cap and jacket 
well. It was the best cap we had then ever 
owned, and we remember that its visor had a 
green lining, which we fancied might be a 
great benefit to the eyes,—and we remember 
how our mother sat up for several nights, after 
the other members of the family were abed, to 
get that little brown suit ready by the day ap¬ 
pointed for her boy to leave home and enter 
upon his seven years’ apprenticeship. We 
were a little fellow then, (we are not very large 
now,) but we were so short then, that we had 
to endure the laughing of the big boys at our 
necessity of mounting a chair to get up at our 
work. But we have not set down to write 
about that cap or jacket, or the experience of 
those seven years, or to tell of the score of 
young men we met in that Printing Office—all 
now scattered; tbe major part already, have 
“passed that bourne whence no traveler re¬ 
turns.” Peace to their ashes! But we want 
to tell of a couple of men, in those days, living 
in Concord, engaged in the book-binding busi¬ 
ness. Charles 11-was a man in idle life, 
a Quaker, and generally a very sensible and 
very clever man. But he was a man of intense 
and uncontrollable temper. When excited he 
wagged a saucy tongue—and sometimes dealt 
in blows. His best friends were not unfre¬ 
quent ly the subjects of his violent abuse.— 
Oliver L. S-was the other book-binder.— 
lie was a young man, of not many words, but 
of attentive and industrious habits. For sev¬ 
eral years he had been an apprentice to the 
irascible Quaker—frequently subjected to his 
unreasonable rage, with scarcely a pretext for 
a cause, and was at last driven from his shop, 
his master emphasizing his imprecations by the 
flourishes of an iron press-bar. 
Borne sixteen or seventeen years since, the 
Quaker moved west. A few years later, the 
other binder removed to the city of Portland, 
where he has since been extensively and success¬ 
fully engaged in book and newspaper publishing. 
Day before yesterday we were in Portland, 
and in the counting-room of his newspaper es¬ 
tablishment met with our old acquaintance 
again. The conversation of course turned 
upon olden times, and the gentleman gave us 
a bit of the history of his old master since his 
leaving Concord. He lirst pitched his tent at 
Utica, N. Y., where in a trade he fell into the 
hands of a rogue, and lost all his little property. 
With his interesting family, for he had a good 
wife and a line troop of little ones, he pushed 
farther West. But misfortune kept in compa¬ 
ny, and he was reduced to extreme want.—

KETCHUM’S IMPROVED MOWING MACHINE, 
With entire change of Gear, the only Successful 
Mower Now Known. 
Ketchum's Improved Machine, whicli we are building for 
the harvest of ’54, was thoroughly tested last season, and 
the advantages gained by our change of Gear are in ail re¬ 
spects as we designed, viz : durability, convenience and ease 
of action. The shafts now have bearings at both ends, 
which overcomes all cramping and enttingaway of boxing. 
A counter balance is attached to the crank shaft, wliicli 
gives it a steady and uniform motion. Each Machine can 
be thrown out of gear; there is great convenience in get¬ 
ting at each and every nut, all of them being on upper side 
of the frame; oil cups are attached to all tlie bearings, 
which, by tlie use of a wad of cotton, will bold oil for a 
long time, as well as protect the bearings from dust, grit, 
&c.; the linger bar is lined with iron its whole width, which 
protects it from wear. 
These and various other additions for strength, durability, 
kc.; makes them the most simple and perfect agricultural 
Implement in use. They weigh about 750 lbs. each, and 
can easily he carried in a one-horse wagon. 
It requires not over ten minutes to get one ready for op¬ 
eration, there being but two bolts, (besides the pole bolts.) 
to be secured to have one ready for use. They will cut all 
kinds of grass, and operate well on uneven or rolling lands, 
or where there are dead furrows. This Machine took the 
highest award, with special approbation, at the World’s 
Fair; it also received, during last season, one silver and 
four gold medals, and various other flattering and substan¬ 
tial testimonials of approval. We have spared neither 
pains nor money to make this machine deserving of public 
favor, and hope to be able the coming season to supply the 
great and increasing demand. 
We take this occasion to caution farmers against buying 
untried Mowers; if they do (as was the ease with many last 
year) they will incur loss, vexation and disappointment. 
If any parts are wanted to repair any machine we have 
sold, or may hereafter sell, they will be furnished and only 
manufacturers’ cost for the same be charged. 
In all cases where extras are wanted, be sure to give 
us the number of your Machine. 
(Warranty:) That said machines are capable of cutting 
and spreading, with one span of horses and driver, from ten 
to fifteen acres per day of any kind of grass, ai d do it as 
well as is done with a scythe by tho best of mowers. 
The price of the Mower, with two sets of knives and ex¬ 
tras, is $110 cash, in Buffalo, delivered on board of boat or 
cars free of charge.

ly. “ I’m a physician; Dr. Todd.” 
“ Ex-traordinary!” was all I could say, for 
though I had heard at a distance ot the exis¬ 
tence of such beings, this was the first intro¬ 
duction to a female practitioner of the escuia- 
pian art. It was rather awkward, but since 
she had come, I determined to make the best 
of it, and acquaint the lady Doctor with my 
case. 
She felt my pulse, asked numerous questions 
as to my symptoms, and then in her quick, 
bright way, exclaimed— 
“Nervous! nervous! that’s all, depend upon 
it! Excuse me, sir, but by the air of your 
room, I suppose you are much given to smo¬ 
king.” 
I plead guilty. 
“ And how many cigars do you usually smoke 
in a day?” 
I could not tell: I never counted; as soon 
as I threw away one, I took another, usually. 
“ Hum! a cigar in your mouth pretty much 
all the time, eh! Chew, too?" 
Again a reluctant confession was wrung from 
me. 
“ I presume you sit up late, smoking all the 
time!” 
“ Yes, ma’am, smoking and reading.” 
“That's it! No disease of the heart at all, 
sir; nothing but tobacco; depend upon it;— 
nothing but tobacco; it’ll make you fancy any¬ 
thing; it’ll drive you crazy if you don't take 
care. Now will you promise to follow my ad¬ 
vice closely, or not? If not, I will take my 
leave immediately.” 
I promised, submissive as a lamb. 
“ In the first place, then, throw away all your 
cigars and tobacco, and promise to buy no 
more.” 
With a sigh given to my sole consolations, 
I said I would do as she directed. 
Many more directions she gave me as to 
diet, exercise, early hours, &c. Perhaps she 
saw too that cheerful companionship was one 
thing I needed, and so she remained awhile, 
talking with great glee and spirit, about mat¬ 
ters and things in general; and promising to 
call and see me the next morning, she left. 
I had not felt so well in a great while; in¬ 
deed 1 had not given my heart a thought since 
the little woman entered the room. 
The next morning I found myself watching 
impatiently for the arrival of my little doctor. 
She came, bright and cheerful as the day be¬ 
fore. What a perfect little sunbeam she was! 
I could not help growing better under her 
care, and the influence of her cheering presence, 
and yet I managed to contrive some ache or 
pain every day, as an excuse for the continu- 
FROM THE PORTFOLIO OF A YOUNG LAWYER. 
TnE days of my clerkship were ended; my 
examination was over, I was admitted; wrote 
myself “ Nehemiah Hubbs, Attorney,” put up 
my new bright little sign, and in my native 
village began my professional career. No, I 
did not either; I am mistaken; I intended to 
pursue the honorable practice of the noble pro¬ 
fession to which I had dedicated my talents 
and learning, in the place of my birth, but nev¬ 
er was a truer word penned than the time, bon-; 
ored proverb, “ A prophet has no honor in 
his own country.” 1 believe if I had remained 
in the village of Green Briar till my head was 
white, they would have thought of me as noth¬ 
ing but a boy, and would have feared to trust 
me. Even after my sign was put up, nobody 
called me Mr. Hubbs; I was still u JYe” with 
old and young, and “JYe” I would have re¬ 
mained to this day, had I remained in Green 
Briar. 
Only one case claimed my attention during 
the three months of my patient continuance in 
Green Briar, after being admitted to the bar, j 
and that was the case of an unjustly impound- j 
ed pig; “feloniously abstracted, your honor, 1 
from the small but secure spot in which my 
client had trustingly deposited him, and mali¬ 
ciously driven to the public enclosure called a 
pound, for the vile purpose, doubtless, of com¬ 
pelling my client in his poverty and destitution, 
to pay the enormous fee which has been de¬ 
manded o£ him, in order to extricate the ani¬ 
mal from his unpleasant position and restore 
him to the bosom of his family 1 
By this I meant the client’s family, the pig 
having none of his own; it was a figure of 
speech undoubtedly, the family not inhabiting 
an Irish cabin, but still it rounded off'the peri¬ 
od, and sounded well to me, as I repeated over 
and over again my maiden speech, pacing up 
and down the floor of my little office. In this, 
my first case, I was successful so far as to 
rescue the impounded animal and save my cli¬ 
ent from the payment of an unjust demand; 
but it brought no silver to my pocket, neither, 
-to my surprise, did it seem to bring honor to 
my name. The eloquence of my speech did 
not form the theme, as I fondly hoped it 
would, of paragraphs in the village papers, or 
of discussion at the corners of the streets, 
neither did it bring to my office the rush of 
clients for which each day I vainly made ready. 
It was plain that I should never rise to dis¬ 
tinction in Green Briar, and so I came to the 
sudden determination to remove from that 
pleasant spot, and settle in some great city 
where nobody knew or had ever beard of me; 
where, above all, there was not a soul to call 
me “ JYe.” 
There I was more successful, and soon had 
the opportunity of forming a very advantage¬ 
ous partnership; business increased; money be¬ 
gan to come in slow at first, but after a time 
more plentifully, and all things seemed pros¬ 
perous in my outward circumstances. But 
alas! as we are so often told poetically, there 
is no sweet without its bitter, no rose without 
its thorn; and trouble came to me in the shape 
of disease, insidious, and slow in its approaches 
at first, long feared and suspected, but at 
length betraying itself so plainly, that I would 
blind myself no longer to the truth. 
Yes! I was without doubt a victim of dis¬ 
ease of the heart; not metaphorically, dear 
- reader, for never had that organ beat with a 
quicker pulsation at the approach of mortal 
woman; so far as the gentler sex was concern¬ 
ed, I was a perfect stoic; but that there was 
organic disease about my heart, I could not 
doubt, and if ever the symptoms disclosed 
themselves unmistakably, .they did so in my 
case. There was a fluttering, palpitation, ir¬ 
regular action, and at length pain; I could not 
work; life had lost its zest; the fear of sudden 
death was ever with me; I could enjoy noth¬ 
ing; If I had anything to leave, or anybody to 
leave it to, I should have made my will, for I 
was quite sure now that I should drop some

land, heard rumor of his circumstances, and 
that iu his extremity he had been obliged to 
sell his shoes from his feet to purchase bread 
for his children. At once like a man with a 
heart beneath his jacket, he forgot all about 
their parting, and sent his old master one hun¬ 
dred and ffty dollars. It was the act ot a 
Christian, (alas, that our world witnesses so few 
of the kind) and it was done in time, and it 
saved the man and his family. With an hun¬ 
dred dollars of the money the man made a 
purchase of a tract of rich prairie, twenty-five 
miles from Chicago. Not a board could be 
obtained nearer than Chicago—and they had 
not the means of buying, were lumber ever so 
plenty. The house consisted of a cooking 
stove sheltered by three boards. But they 
had the land, and kept their hearts, and 
bountiful crops followed their industry, and in 
a few years the $150, with many blessings, 
found its way back to Portland. 
Last year the Portland man was traveling 
in the west, and finding himself within a hun¬ 
dred and fifty miles of the home he had ena¬ 
bled his old master to possess, he turned oil 
from his journey to make the family a visit.— 
He says lie found them on the most charming 
spot of earth he has yet seen. In the midst ot 
one of the richest of the prairies, near a line of 
railway; with pleasant buildings, the sweep of 
wind broken by a growing forest of young lo¬ 
custs, that during the nine years had succeeded 
in developing trunks whose diameters were now 
six and eight inches. The buildings were a 
little distance from the highway, and the few 
acres intervening he found filled with all man¬ 
ner of fruit trees, pleasant shrubbery and 
beautiful flowers. Oar friend tells us that as 
he rode up through these beautiful grounds 
towards the house, he discovered his old mas¬ 
ter sitting in his door. Dismounting, the two 
clasped hands, but the visitor, thinking that he 
was not recognized, said, “You do not*know 
me.” “Yes, I do. It is Oliver!” and tlie old 
man’s gushing tears choked all further utter¬ 
ance. The wife heard the name, “Oliver,” 
and she came out and the children, and not a 
word could any of them speak, but there upon 
the threshhold of the happy home, they all 
stood, shedding copious, gushing tears of joy 
and gratitude. What a happy meeting! And 
what a rich reward for that forgetting of past 
wrongs, and that act of kindness, which nine 
years before had laid the foundations of his 
happy and prosperous home! And what a 
happy world this might be, if we only had 
more good men in it !—Eastern Journal.

jected him, saying that he intended to “ retire 
to some secluded spot and breathe away his
