MOORE’S RURAL 
THE VILLAGE TREES. 
The Tillage rents beneath the trees 
That stretch their arms in air, 
For peace an 1 love to light those homes, 
Forever stretched in prayer. 
When birds begin to lift their wings, 
And when tue robin sings, 
The buds unfold their tender leaves, 
Like soft and fluttering "ing*. 
In autuniD yellow flaw* leaps tip, 
.And plays among the trees; 
Aud crimson banners float their folds 
Upon the scented breeze. 
Our hearts are hushed when we recall 
That dark Passover-night, 
When humble hut aud haughty hall 
Confessed the Angel'B might. 
We read no print of angel-toot 
Waa seen around the door, 
Whose posts were stained with drops of blood, 
As if they roses bore. 
And now the trees, that clasp and arch 
The village like a door, 
Are red, as if with sprinkled blood : 
Are angels passing o'er ? 
And so, in soft and sweet spring-showers, 
Through autumn’s hslmy airs, 
With broad uncovered heads the trees 
Are ever at their prayers.

THE COUSINS; 
OR, DO THE DUTY NEAREST YOU. 
BY KATE CAMERON. 
PKRmrs there was never a greater contrast 
between those of near “ kith and kin,” than waa 
presented by the persons and character Of Abe- 
line and Amy Sbymoi’R. Their fathers being 
brothers, and their toothers sisters, some resent 
blance between the conains might have been ex¬ 
pected from this double alliance, but finch was 
not the case. 
Adeline was about twenty-five years of age; 
but so long bad she been a prominent member of 
the church, the sewing circle, and society in gen¬ 
eral, that to the good people of IJrookville, she 
seemed much older; and the place which she al¬ 
ways claimed as a leader among them, was readily 
granted her, without any particular inquiry as to 
her natural qualifications for the same. 
Very different was the position occupied by her 
cousin, who waa three years younger. Every one 
loved Amy Skymoub, but no one ever thought of 
asking her advice, or ot uyiug to draw net from 
the narrow circle of Intimate friends, where Bho 
seemed to find her greatest happiness. Like 
Adeline, she was a member of the only church 
in Brookville, but so unobtrusive was she, that 
she seemed to shrink from the active duties in 
which her older cousin so much delighted. 
In their personal appearance the same dissimi¬ 
larity was manifest. Adeline wus tall, and 
showy-looking, with black hair and eyes, a loud 
voice and commanding air; while Amy’s stature 
was rather below the medium, her hair of light 
brown, and her eyes clear, laughing bine,— her 
musical voice aud gentle manners well suited the 
rest of the picture. 
But we must look at them both in the light of 
home, if we would judge correctly of their true 
merits. Both were only daughters,—their fathers 
honest, hard-working farmers, and prominent in¬ 
habitants of tbo little country village where they 
had always resided, and where Amy’s father had 
long held the office of Deacon. He had less of 
this world's goods than his brother, aud yethiB 
home was really the most comfortable and pleas¬ 
ant of tbo two,—while his sons, James and Wil¬ 
liam, ranked higher in public estimation than 
their cousins Henry aud Charles, who lacked 
their refinement of taste and manners. This will 
not he wondered at when we remember bow po¬ 
tent is a sister's influence and example, and no 
one could visit these two homes without observ¬ 
ing the vast difference in the conduct of Adeline 
and Amy toward tbeir parents and brothers.— 
Adeline was selfish and dictatorial,—she seemed 
to consider herself the most important member of 
the family, and felt that all mu6t yield to her will; 
while Amy ever treated her father and motlierwith 
respectful deference, and her brothers with affec¬ 
tion and gentleness. 
About the time our little sketch commences, the 
church at Brookville was withont a pastor, and 
among numerous candidates, came a young 
clergyman, Edward Lewis, prepossessing iu his 
appearance, and of marked talents aud piety. 
He soon won a high place in the opinion of all 
those who formed his acquaintance, and it was 
not long ere he received and accepted a call to 
settle among them. Mr. Lewis was uumarried, 
and many were the conjectures as to whether he 
were also free from matrimonial engagement; but 
as nothing definite could be ascertained on this 
point, it was decided best to consider him “in 
the market,” until some proof to the contrary was 
given,—and, perchance, this conelnsion did not 
diminish his popularity with the jounger mem¬ 
bers of his flock. 
Immediately after the ordination, it was pro¬ 
posed to give a “ parish party ” in honor of the 
new minister, at Deacon Lee's where he boarded, 
and in connection with the same a Fair was to be. 
held by the Ladies'Sewing Circle, to raise part of 
kis salary,— this being their time-honored cus¬ 
tom; for us Brookville could boast of but few 
wealthy men, the ladies very naturally as well as 
gracefully came to their assistance. 
As might be expected, Adeline Seymour was 
first and foremost in all the numerous prepara¬ 
tions attendant upon so important an occasion. 
She was present at all the "committee meetings,” 
and held a prominent place among the Managers 
of the Fair. Every evening, for a fortnight, she 
was either at the house of eomc of her co-workers, 
or holding a meeting of them at her own home, to 
“adopt measuies,” and to perform the requisite 
labor. 
One day her mother said, in her usual timid 
way, (for the good woman actually stood in awe 
of her daughter,) “Adeline, don’t you think I 
ought to have a new dress to wear at the parish 
party?” 
“You, mother! Why! are you going?” 
“I thought I would like to,” was the meek 
response. 
“Oh! well, if you want to go, you can; hut I 
think your black bombazine will answer very 
well; it won’t make much difference, you know, 
what you wear;” and Adeline continued stitch¬ 
ing on a new, high-colored silk, which she was 
making expressly for the graud event. 
Mrs. Seymour said no more, but the nextmorn- 
ing, while Adeline was abneut, having gone to 
spend the day with Mrs. Lee and assist her in 
making cake, Amy came in, with her wonted 
smile, and kitming her aunt affectionally, cangbt, 
the towel from her hand, and insisted on helping 
her wipe the breakfast dishes; talking all the 
while in her light-hearted way: “Well! auntie, 
what are you going to wear at the party?” 
“Oh! Adeline says my black bombazine will 
answer, but I think it looks rather shabby." 
“To be sure it does,” was the rejoinder, “and 
you shall have a new brown merino like r mothers;” 
and seeing her uncle pass the window, she hasten¬ 
ed to the door, and stopped him with, “Uncle 
William, you mill get Aunt Fanny a dress like 
mother's, won't you? She wants it to wear at 
Deacon Lee's, Thursday night.” 
“Anjthing she wunts,” was the good-natured 
reply; “how much will it cost?” 
“Oh! about ten dollars,— but then she must 
have a new cap ftnd collar, eo you may as well 
hand out fifteen,” and in a moment more, the de¬ 
sired sum waB transferred from Mr. Seymour's 
pocket-book to the extended bund of his niece, 
who ran back to the kitchen exclaiming eagerly, 
“Here, auntie, is the money, and now I am going 
to the store, right a way, before the rest of that 
piece is sold; and I’ll get Miss Flinn to come this 
afternoon and fit your drees, and then I can take 
it home and finish making it. There’s but two 
days more before the Fair, you know, and we 
shall have to hurry. But one thing, yon must 
promise not to tell Adeline of it, beforehand, 
for she might think 1 was meddling with what did 
not concern me.” 
“You are a dear, good girl, anyway, Amy,” 
was the answer, and as she tripped lightly away, 
intent on her mission of kindness, her aunt sighed, 
and said to herself, “ Oh 1 what a blessing such a 
daughter must be!” 
In a very short time Amy returned, having pur¬ 
chased a handsome merino, and the necessary 
trimmings, a delicately wrought collar, and the ma¬ 
terials for a new cap, which she assured her aunt 
she should find plenty of time to make before 
Thursday evening. 
“But, Aunt Fanny,” she continued, “you must 
come to our house this afternoon. Miss Flinn 
says she will be there at one o'clock, and you 
know Adeline might come home and spoil the 
fun, if yon were to have the work done here.” 
Mrs. Seymour readily assented, and before it 
was time for her to go home and get tea, the new 
dress was fairly “under way,” and with the aid 
of Amy's nimble fingers, gave promise of being 
done iu season. 
Mrs. Seymour found Adeline at home, busily 
sewing on her gay silk, and grumbling because 
her mother wus out. “I had to kindle the fire, 
and put on the tea-kettle,” fiaid she, pettishly, 
“and it has hindered me very much; I should 
think, mother, you might stay at home and keep 
the fire burning at least, when / have so much to 
do.” The mother might have spoken of the bur¬ 
den of household care which she bore alone, but 
sbe was a “ peace-maker,” and forebore to add 
fuel to Adeline’s uncalled-for indignation. In¬ 
deed so much accustomed waB she to being ad¬ 
dressed in this way, that she would have been 
more surprised to have heard kind and gentle 
words from her only daughter. And yet, this was 
the village model,—the pattern young lady,—the 
benefactress of the poor, and the prime mover in 
all schemes for the public good! It was evident 
liar charity did not begin at home! 
That evening Adeline called for Amy to ac¬ 
company her to the committee meeting, telliDg 
her they wished her to take charge of one of tbe 
tables, and thought she had better meet with them 
once first. Amy, who had only time to lay aside 
her aunt’s dress, on which she was working, be¬ 
fore her cousin entered the room, excuse d herseli; 
Baying she was very busy, and couldn't p .ss.ibly 
go, whereupon her zealous relative gave her a 
serious lecture on the sin of selfishness, ami emied 
with saying she presumed she was m iking very 
extensive preparations for her own toilette on ibe 
occasion; but for her part, she thought they owed 
more to the minister, and the parish, than to the 
gratification of any personal vanity. 
Amy quietly answered, that she was going to 
wear her last year’s blue merino, but siir), “I be 
lieve you are having a new dress, ar’a’t you, 
Adpie ?” 
“ Why, yes, I thought I ought to he dressed re¬ 
spectably, as long as I am first Directress of the 
Sewing Society,—but then, I don't stay away from 
the evening meetings to work on it.” And look¬ 
ing a little abashed, she rose with the excuse that 
she mn&t hurry, or she should he late. 
Thursday afternoon arrived, and in every house 
throughout the village there was more or less 
bustle of preparation. 
The assembly for the evening differed from 
most “ donation parties,” which it was deemed 
would be out of place, as Mr. Lewis was not a 
married man. Those attending it, carried refresh¬ 
ments for the entertainment of the guests, but 
their more substantial offerings were either coined 
into money, or reserved for a future occasion. 
Tables were spiead to receive the variouBfancy 
articles prepared for Bale, and early in the after¬ 
noon Adeline Seymour was at Mrs. Lee's, first 
among those who were making arrangements for 
the Fair. Her new silk was completed, and al¬ 
ready hanging in Mrs. Lee's closet, to be donned 
when her more active labors were completed. 
Meanwhile, our favorite, Amt, had taken home 
the addition to her aunt’s wardrobe — the nicely 
made dress, tbo collar, and cap with its snowy 
trimmings,—nor did she leave until she saw Mrs. 
Seymour arrayed in the very becoming contume, 
which her husband acknowledged made her look 
“fullfifteenyears younger.” “ Well,Uncle!” 8aid 
Amy laughing, “that’s a cheap way of rejuvena¬ 
ting a person, a dollar for a year; you had better 
let Aunt Fanny try it again.” 
“Certainly, she can have the money whenever 
Bho want* it; but, somehow, Adeline hasn’t the 
‘knack ’ that you have, Amy, about fixing up the 
house, and huving the old folks look nice; if she 
were like you, it would be different.' 1 
Amy kissed them both, and hurried home “to 
see that mother was all right,” and to make her 
own simple preparations, which were quite a 
secondary consideration with her. 
The company were at length assembled in 
Deacon Lee's Fpacious rooms, every one looking 
well pleased, but no one happier than Mrs. Wil¬ 
liam Seymour, assured of her own improved 
appearance, unless it waa the merry Amy, who 
gilded here and there, with a smilo and kind 
word for every one, and as well content in her 
old dress as if she were displaying a new outfit. 
Adeline was quife radiant in crimson and 
black, bnt a cIobc observer might have detected 
an expression of uneasiness upon her face, before 
the arrival of her parents, us though she feared 
that they might bring discredit upon her own 
superior pretensions. Her surprise may be im¬ 
agined when Bhe witnessed the complete trans¬ 
formation which had taken place in the appear¬ 
ance of her mother, whom she had expected to 
sec clad in the ancient bombazine, with a dowdy 
cap and old-fashioned collar. And she took an 
early opportunity to whisper to her. “ I declare, 
mother, I never saw you look so well in my life; 
where did you borrow them?” 
“Your father bought them for me, thanks to 
Amy,” was the unusually bold response ; bnt 
Adeline had no time to spend in discussing the 
merits of the question. She w as soon completely 
engrossed with playing the agreeable to the youmr 
minister, and bis polite attentions evidently flat¬ 
tered her highly. 
Boon Amy passed by, with Borne mirthful re- 
maik, and Mr. Lewis said to Adeline, “How 
unlike one another, yon and your cousin are!” 
“Oh, veiy!” replied Adeline, with a sigh. 
“Amy is so giddy, so thoughtless, and indeed, 
Mr. Lewis, she is very remiss in her performance 
of duty.—1 do wish you would converse with tier 
upon the subject.” 
Mr. Lewis assented ; but now tea-time had 
arrived, and a blessing having been asked by the 
pastor, the tempting viands were, us on all such 
occasions, “pasBcd round;” the elder people sit¬ 
ting about the rooms, while the “young folks” 
stood in groups, here and there. Occasionally 
some awkward individual would present ft ludi¬ 
crous spectacle, bjing so overwhelmed with a 
ply \ i md, us to be very much in 
tne c iiuitloi. of T T> : li l->, and mmole to enjoy 
any of it,—a plate piled up with biscuit, cake 
and tarts iii om.' hand, and a cup of hot tea in the 
other; but it was obseivod that >uch difficulties 
were finally overcome, and disappeared together 
with the innocent cause thereof. [Conclusion

"YE LAZIE FEVRE” 
The following, taken from an old book, entitled 
“The Breviary of Healthe, by Andrew Boorde, 
Pbisyche Doctoure,” an Englishman, anno, 1557: 
“A Cure for ye Lazy Fbvbe.” 
“The 115th chaptire dotbe showe of an evyll 
Ferre, ye wich doth much cumbre yonge persons, 
named Ye Fevre Bnrden, or Lazie Fevre. 
Among al ye fevres I had almost forgot ye Fe¬ 
vre Burden, wyth wich many yonge men, yonge 
women, inaydens, and other yonge persons be 
sore infected now-a-days. 
The cause of the Infirmite. 
This fevre doth cum naturally, or els by evyll 
and slothful bryngynge upp. If it doe cum by 
nature, then is thiB fevre not to be cured— for itt 
can never cum out of ye fleshe that is bred in ye 
bone. If it be by evyll bryngynge upp, itt may 
be holpen by diligent labor. 
Ye Rernedie. 
There is nothing so good for ye Fevre Burden as is 
Ungumtum Baeulinum, thatistosai—take ft sticke 
or wand, of a yard of length and more, and lett 
itt be so grate as a man’s fynger; and with it 
anoint ye back and shoulders well, mornings and 
evenings, and tbys doe twenty-one days. If this 
evyll fevre bee not holpen in that time, let them 
beware of waggynge on the gallows. 
Nota Bene —And whyles they doe take tbys 
medicine, see you putt no lubber wort in thyr 
pottage.” 
Some forty years ago, a respectable Irish com¬ 
pany of volunteers was named the Erin Musketeers. 
During its brief existence they met to spend a 
social evening. After the supper was disposed of 
a prominent member was culled upon to speak, 
and responded as follows:—“ Mr. President, I am 
no spach-maker, but will give you a sintiment:— 
“The Erin Musketeers—equal in none; the last on 
the field, and the./trs." to leave it!” 
It haB beer said that it is a greater misfortune 
for a man to be blind than a woman to be so, for, 
as to him, it involves a deprivation of the greatest 
of all enjoyments, the eight of woman. But we 
apprehend the reverse is true as to deafness.
