AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER 
MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER 
ADVEETIS EM E NTS 
humble abode they were. “What we have is at 
your service in welcome, and all that it is in my 
power to do, shall be done for you cheerfully. If 
fat her was only at home—but that can’t be helped.” 
The young man gazed upon her in wonder and 
shame—wonder at the charm that now appeared 
iu her singularly marked countenance, and shame 
for the disgraceful and cowardly cruelly with which 
he had a little while before so wantonly assailed 
her. 
The doctor was positive about the matter, and 
so there was no alternative. After seeing his un¬ 
happy relative in as comfortable a condition as 
possible, the young man, with the doctor’s aid, 
repaired his crippled vehicle by the restoration of 
a linch-pin, and started for the city to bear intel¬ 
ligence of the sad accident, and bring out the 
mother of the injured girl 
Alone with the person towards whom bIio had 
only a short time before acted in such shameless 
violation of womanly kindness and lady-like pro¬ 
priety, our “nice young lady” did not feel more 
comfortable in mind than body. Every look— 
every word—every tone—every act of the kind- 
hearted girl was a rebuke. The delicacy of her 
attentions, and the absence of everything like a 
desue to remind her of the recent unpleasant in¬ 
cident, marked her as possessing, even if her 1‘aco 
and attire were plain, and her position humble, all 
the elements of a true lady. 
Although the doctor, when he left, did not speak 
very encouragingly, the vigorous system of the 
young girl began to re-act, and she grew better 
quite rapidly; so that when her parents arrived 
with the family physician she was so much im¬ 
proved that it was at once decided to take her to 
the city. 
For an hour before her parents came she lay 
feigning to be in sleep, yet observing every move¬ 
ment and word of her gentle attendant. It was an 
hour of shame, self-reproaches, and repentance.— 
She was not really bad at heart; hut false estimates 
of things, trifling associations, and a thoughtless 
disregard of others, liad made her far less a lady 
iu act than she imagined herself to be in quality. 
Her parents, when they anived, overwhelmed the 
young girl with thankfulness; and the father at 
parting tried to induce her to accept a sum of 
money. But the offer seemed to disturb her. 
“Oh no, sir!” she said, drawing back, while a 
glow came into her plain face, and made it almost 
beautiful; “I have only done a simple duty.” 
“ But you are poor,” he urged, glancing around. 
“ Take this, and let it make you more comfortable.” 
“We are contented with what Con has given to 
us,” she replied, cheerfully. "For what lie gives 
is always the best portion. No sir; T cannot re¬ 
ceive money for doing only a common duty.” 
“Your reward is great,” said the father, touched 
with the noble answer. “May God bless you, my 
good girl! And if you will not receive my money, 
accept my grateful thanks.” 
As the daughter parted from the strange young 
girl, she bent down and kissed her hand; then 
looking up into her face, with tearful eyes, she 
whispered for her ears alone— 
“I am punished, and you are vindicated—ob,let 
your heart forgive me!” 
" It W8s God whom you offended,” was whisper¬ 
ed back. “Get his forgiveness, and all will be 
right. You have mine, und also tho prayer of my 
heart lliat you may he good and wise, for only 
such are happy.” 
The humbled girl grasped her band tightly, and 
murmured: —“I shall never forget you—never!” 
Nor did she. If the direct oiler of her father 
was declined, indirect benefits reached, through 
her means, the lonely log cottage, where every¬ 
thing iu time put on a new and pleasanter aspect, 
and the surroundings of the gentle spirit that pre¬ 
sides there were more in agreement with her 
true internal quality. To the thoughtless young 
couple tho incidents of that day were a life-lesson 
that never passed entirely from their remem¬ 
brance. They obtained a glance below tho surface 
of things that surprised them, learning that, even 
in the humblest, there may he hearts in the right 
places—warm with pure leeliugs, and inspired by 
the noblest sentiments or humanity; and that 
highly as they esteemed themselves on account of 
their position, there was one, at least, standing be¬ 
low them so far as external advantages were con¬ 
cerned, who was their superior in all the higher 
qualities that go to make up the real lady and 
gentleman. 
pen to catch you at such mean and cowardly 
work as you were just now engaged in,” said the 
stranger, not seeking to veil his ©outejnpt. 
“The vulgar brute? Oh, he’s horrid!” ejacula¬ 
ted the young lady, as her rather crest-fallen com¬ 
panion laid the whip upon his horse and dashed 
ahead. “ How he frightened me!” 
“ Some greasy butcher or two-fisted blacksmith,” 
said the elegant young man with contempt, “Bui,” 
he added boastfully, " I’ll teach him a lesson! I'll 
give him a taste of cold steel for his insolence.— 
The man who dares to say that I am not a gentle¬ 
man, has got. to apologize or light!” 
Out into the beautiful country, with feelings a 
little less buoyant than when they started, rode 
our gay young couple. As the excitement of pas¬ 
sion died away, both began to feel a little uncom¬ 
fortable in mind, for certain unpleasant convic¬ 
tions intruded themselves, and certain precepts in 
the code of polite usage grew rather distinct iu 
their memories. They had been thoughtless, to 
say the least of it. 
“But the girl looked so queer!” said the young 
lady. “I couldn’t help laughing to save my life. 
Where on earth did Bhe come from?” 
Not very keen was their enjoyment of the af¬ 
ternoon’s ride, although the day was particularly 
fine, and their way was amid some bits of charm¬ 
ing scenery. After going out into the country 
some five or six miles, the horse’s head was turned, 
and they took they way homeward. Wishing to 
avoid the monotony of a drive aloug the same 
road, the young man struck across the country in 
order to reach another avenue leading into the 
city, but missed his way, and got bewildered iu a 
maze of winding country roads. While descend¬ 
ing a steep hill, in a very secluded place, a wheel 
came off, and both were thrown from the carriage. 
The young man received only a slight bruise, hut 
the girl was more seriously injured. Her head 
had struck against a atone with so strong a con¬ 
cussion as to render her insensible. 
Eagerly glancing around for aid, the youngman 
saw, at no great distance from the road, a poor 
looking log tenement, from the mud chimney of 
which curled a thin column of smoke, giving signs 
of inhabitants. To call aloud was his first im¬ 
pulse, and he raised his voice with the cry of 
“ Belp!” 
Scarcely had the sound died away, ere he saw 
the door of the cabin flung open, and a woman and 
boy looked eagerly around. 
“HelpI” he cried again, and the sound of his 
voice directed their eyes towards him. Even in 
his distress, alarm and bewilderment, the young 
man recognized instantly in the wpmanthe person 
they had so wantonly insulted only an hour or two 
before. As soon as she saw them, she ran forward 
hastily, and seeing the white face of the insensible 
girl, exclaimed, with pity and concern, 
“Oh, sir! is she badly hurt!” 
There was heart in that voice of peculiar sweet¬ 
ness. 
“Poor lady!” she said, tenderly, as she untied 
the bonnet strings with gentle care, and placed her 
hand upon the clammy temples. 
“ Shall I help you to take her over to the house?” 
she added, drawing an arm beneath the form of 
the insensible girl. 
“Thank you!” There was a tone of respect in 
the young man’s voice. "But I can carry hermy- 
Belf;” and he raised the insensible form in his 
arms, and, following the young stranger, bore it 
into her humble dwelling. As be laid her upon a 
bed, he asked eagerly— 
"Is there a doctor near?” 
“ Yes, sir,” replied the girl “If you will come 
to the door, I will show you the doctor’s house; 
and I think he must be at home, for I saw him go 
Ly only a quarter of an hour since. John will 
take c i re of your horse while you are away, and 
I will do my best for the poor lady.” 
The doctor’s house, about a quarter of a mile 
distant, was pointed out, and the young man hur¬ 
ried off at a rapid speed. He was gone only a few 
minutes when his insensible companion revived, 
and, starting up, looked wildly around her. 
“Where am I? Where is George?” she asked 
eagerly. 
“He has gone for the doctor, hut will be back 
very soon,” said the young woman, in a kind, 
soothing voice. 
“For the doctor! Who’s injured?” She had 
clasped her hands across her forehead, and now, 
on removing them, saw on one a wet stain of blood. 
With a frightened cry she fell back upon the pil¬ 
low from which she had arisen. 
“I don’t think yon are much hurt,” was said in 
a tone of encouragement, as with a damp cloth the 
gentle strauger wiped very tenderly her forehead. 
“ The cut is not deep. Have yon pain anywhere ?” 
“No,” was faintly answered, 
“You can move your arms

APOSTROPHE TO THE PENOBSCOT. 
NITROGEN. 
Nitrogen is also a kind of air or gas, and, like 
oxygen is devoid of color, taste, or smell. The 
properties of this ingredient of the atmosphere 
are chiefly negative. It will not support combus¬ 
tion or animal life. Place a mouse in a jar con¬ 
taining only nitrogen, and death will ensue almost 
instantly. It is not poisonous, however, life is de- 
troyed by suffocation. 
Throughout nature Nitrogen is widely diffused, 
particularly in the organic kingdom, lor we find it. 
in all plants and animals. It is an essential con¬ 
stituent of the animal frame and therefore enters 
largely Into their food. The following analysis 
will exhibit its proportion in some of the most 
common articles of sustenance. The total is com¬ 
puted at 1,000 parts, and the relative quantity is 
denoted by the figures following each article men¬ 
tioned. Bice, 81; Potatoes, 84; Turnips, 10G; Bye,

O, FArR Fenobscnt, here I stand 
On these old rocks where olt before 
I’ve stood and marked thy flowery strand, 
And idle waters, us they pour 
Down from the m untninsto the sea. 
And deemed my stdr a part of thee. 
How oft, when from companions strayed, 
I’ve sought alone Ibis wild retreat, 
Thy rippling waters round me played, 
And laughed, and bubbled at tny feet; 
Then youth, and hope, and joy were mine, 
And love for me a wreath did 'twine. 
But time fleets on, sod O, the change 
From childhood’s hanpy hour till now 1 
Ah Fame 1 this heart tbou did'st estrange, 
And Care, thy hand its on this brow ; 
But river, thy reproving tone 
Pains fearfully,—leave me alone. 
Yes, chiding river hurry on, 
The Ocean calls thee from afar, 
I hear a moaning,—tbou art gone; 
Departing as the morning star,— 
That like a vision fades away 
When softly murmurs waking day. 
Art gone I O, foolish, frivolous thought— 
’Twss but. a wave that broke, and fled ; 
Some passing pbuutoui fancy wrought, 
For here thou'lt flow when 1 am dead, 
Fed by the streams, lakes, brooks and Tills, 
That gush from everlasting hills. 
Yes, still tliy wavee w ill roll and break, 
To foam and dash against these rocks, 
And that low routmur shall partake 
Of thee, and mock, as mine it mocks, 
The fame ot others yet unborn 
Who'll live and breathe when I am gone. 
Yet, of the future who may know ? 
These sullen rocks may wear away, 
And thy sn ilt waters cease to flow,— 
Thy loreat wilds a desert lay, 
And all the beauties of the earth 
May be as things unknown to birth. 
O, Fame I O, River ! thou dost bring 
Perplexing thoughts to (ill Ibis brain, 
Which come and go on noiseless wing, 
Inflicting as they puss a pain 
Which none may know but those who feel 
A dearth of knowledge round them steal. 
Mortals ! whale'er the future gives, 
The present only can he ours ; 
Man only knows that here he lives 
To pass, or pluck life's proffered flowers,— 
Who hunts for ftttno finds thorns and briers, 
And tortures for his wild desireB I

BY T. S. ARTHUR. 
“Did you ever see such a queer looking figure?” 
exclaimed a youDglady, speaking loud enough to 
be heard by the object of her remark. She was 
riding slowly aloDg in an opeu carriage, a short 
distance from the citj’, accompanied by a relative. 
The young man, her companion, looked across the 
road at a woman, whose attire was certainly not 
in any way very near approach to the fashion of 
the day. She had on a faded calico dress, short 
iu the waist; stout leather shoes; the remains of 
whathad once been a red merino longsbawl; anda 
dingy old Leghorn bonnet of tbe style of eighteen 
hundred and twenty. 
As the young man turned to look at the woman, 
the latter raised her eyes and fixed them steadily 
upon the young lady who had go rudely directed 
towards her the attention other companion. Her 
face was not old, nor faded, as the dress she wore. 
It was youthful, but plain almost, to homeliness; 
and the smallness of her eyes, which were close 
together and placed at the Mongolian angle, gave 
to her countenance a singular aspect. 
“How do you do, aunty?” said the young man, 
gently drawing on the rein of his horse, so as still 
further to diminish his speed. 
The face of the young girl—for she was quite 
young—reddened, and she slackened her steps, so 
as to fall behind the rude, unfediDg couple, who 
sought to make themselves merry at her expense. 
“She’s a Gipsy!” 6aid the young lady, laughing. 
“ Gran'mother! How are catnip and lioarhound, 
snakeroot and tansy selling to-day? What’s the 
Btate of the herb market?” joined in the young 
man with increasing rudeness. 
“That bonnet's from the ark, ha! ha!” 
“And was worn by the wife of Shem, Ham, or 
Japhet. Ha! now I’ve got it! This is the great, 
great, great graDd-daughter of old Noah. What 
a discovery! Where’s Barnum ? Here’s a chance 
for another fortune!” 
The poor girl made no answer to this cruel and 
cowardly assault, but turned her face away, and 
stood still, in order to let the carriage pass on. 
“ You look like a gentleman and a lady,” said a 
man who was riding by and happened to overbear 
some of their last remarks; “and no doubt regard 
yourselves as such. But your conduct is anything 
but gentlemanly and lady-like; and if I had the 
pleasure of knowing your friends, I would advise 
them to keep yon in until you had sense and de¬ 
cency enough not to disgrace yourselves and 
them!” 
A fiery Bpot burned instantly on tho young 
man's face, and fierce anger shot from his eyes._ 
But the one who had spoken so sharply fixed upon 
him a look of withering contempt, and riding 
close up to the carriage, handed him his card, re¬ 
marking coldly, ns he did so, 
“1 shall be pleased to meet you again, sir._ 
May I ask you card in return?” 
The young man thrust his hand indignantly in¬ 
to his pocket, and fumbled there for some mo¬ 
ments, but without finding a card. 
“No matter,” said he, trying to speak fiercely; 
“you will bear from me in good time.” 
“And you from me on the spot, if I shouldhap- 
A taper which has been extinguished in a jar of 
nitrogen, may be relighted in ajar of oxygen, but 
this must be done so quickly that a spark of fire 
shall remain on tbe wick of tho candle after it 
is withdrawn from the nitrogen. Thi3 experiment 
maybe varied by using three jars, one of nitrogen, 
another of oxygen, and a third of common air.— 
In the first the candle will be put out, in the second 
relighted, and in the third it will burn as usaul. 
Nitrogen may be prepared from annual fibre in 
the following manner:—Wash a piece of beef well, 
and cut it into small pieces; put these into a re¬ 
tort, and pour some diluted nitric acid upon them. 
Apply the heat of a lamp, and insert the beak of 
tho retort under a receiver. Nitrogen gas will 
come over and fill the jar. This is one of the best 
methods of preparing this gas. 
Oxygen is one-ninth part heavier, and nitrogen 
one thirty-sixth part lighter than common air.

What is Life? —The mere lapse of years is not 
life. To eat, drink nnd sleep; to be exposed to 
darkness and light; to pace around in the mill of 
habits and turn the mill of wealth; to make reason 
our book-keeper and thought into an implement of 
trade—this is not life. In all this but a poor frac¬ 
tion of the unconsciousness of humanity is awak¬ 
ened; and the sanctities still slumber which make 
it worth while to be. Knowledge, truth, love, 
beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to 
the mechanism of existence; the laugh of mirth 
which vibrates through the heart; the tear which 
freshens the dry wastes within; tho music that 
brings childhood hack; the prayer that calls the 
future near; tho death which startles us with mys¬ 
tery; the hardship which forces us to struggle; the 
anxiety that end6 in trust — are the true nourish¬ 
ment which ends in being.— Chalmers, 
so they are uninjur¬ 
ed. And now, won’t you just step on to the floor, 
and see if you can bear your weight? Let me 
raise you up. There, put your foot down — now

How earnest, how gentle, how pleased she was. 
There was no acting iu her manner. Every tone, 
expression, and gesture showed that heart was in 
everything. 
“Oh, lam so glad!” she repeated. “It might 
have been so much worse.” 
Tbe first glance into the young girl’s face was 
one of identification; and even amid the terror 
that oppressed her heart,the unwilling visitor felt 
a sense of painful mortification. There was no 
mistaking that peculiar countenance. But how 
different she seemed! Her voice was singularly 
sweet, her maimer gentle and full of kindness, and 
m her movements and attitude a certain ease that 
marked her as one not to be classed, even by the 
over-refined young lady who was so suddenly 
brought within her power, among the common 
herd. 
All that assiduous care and kind attention could 
do for the unhappy girl, until the doctor’s arrival, 
was done. Alter gelling back to the bed from 
which she had been induced to rise iu order to Bee 
if all her limbs were sound, she grew sick and 
faint, and remained so until the physician came. 
He gave it, us his opinion that she had received 
some internal injuries, and that it would not be 
safe to attempt her removal. The young couple 
looked at each other with dismay pictured in their 
countenances. 
“I wish it were iu my power to make you more 
comfortable,” said the kind-hearted girl, in whose

The man whom I cal! deserving the name is one 
whose thoughts and exertions are for others rjlher 
than (or himself; whose high purpose is adopted 
on just principles ami never abandoned while 
heaven or earth affords means of accomplishing 
it. He is one who will neither seek an indirect 
advantage by a specious road, nor take an evil 
path to gain a real good purpose. Such a man 
were one for whom a woman’s heart should beat 
constantly while he breathes and break when he

sheep to market, was asked tbe number of each, 
and also the distance he had driven them, when 
he made the following reply:—If yon divide the 
number of rods I have driven them by the number 
of cows, you will have tbe number of sheep; and 
if you divide the number of Blieep by the number 
of miles, it will oquul one twentieth the number of 
cows; aud the sum of the cows and sheep is 
greater by 170 than tlie number of tulles which I 
have driven them. What was the number of each
