MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER 
He gazes then, perhaps for the last time, on old 
familiar things, and “old home faces.’’ Things 
that he never knew he loved before, are fonnd to 
have eutwined .themselves around him, and inter¬ 
woven with the very fibres of his affections. A 
long succession of golden links binds one to child¬ 
hood’s home. To break the ehaio, ah! it tries 
the strength of stout hearts. Chide not, if atsuch 
an hour the voice is fettered, and the hand pressure, 
the lip pressure, and the glistening eye, only 
“speak the gentle good bye.” Call it. not weak¬ 
ness that troubles the fountain of tears, hut thank 
God that Nature has opened an avenue for pent-up 
grief. 
Breakfast over, brother Edwards’ large lumber 
wagon, which was to convey them to the railroad 
d^pot, came rumbling up to the door, and the 
trunks were loaded. 
“ Will Aunt Nelly turn bat a tin in netst meet ?’’ Baid 
little Frank, as Ellen took the little fellow in her 
arms for the last time. “No, Franket,” she re¬ 
plied, " Aunt Nelly can’t come hack any more in 
a great while.” "0, Aunt Nelly, annt Nelly!” 
said he, while big round drops started from his 
eyes, and his bosom heaved ’till it seemed as 
though his little heart was ready to burst with 
grief. Johnny stole softly to Ellen’s side and 
then to Uncle WiLLiAJi’s and dropped a great rosy 
apple into each of their pockets, but when they 
turned to bid him good bye, he was nowhere to he 
found. Little Julia and sister Makv were silent¬ 
ly but affectionately embraced, and our emigrants 
mounted the wagon. Brother Edward, who was 
to accompany them as driver, took bis seat, anu 
they were off. One by one they left behind them 
the old red school house on the hill, where Ellen 
had acquired the rudiments of her education, and 
where, in later years, she had gathered around her 
a little flock of eager scholars; the church where 
she had so often listened to the teachings of the 
man of God; the grave-yard where slept her hon¬ 
ored parents; the old elm trees by the river's side, 
beneath whose shade William and she had so of¬ 
ten lingered and conversed; the forest now leafless 
and gloomy, where in spring she had so often 
sought the wild violet—upon all these they fondly 
gazed as they passed. They rode slowly up the 
hill, which had looked down upon Ellen ever 
siuce she first tripped lightly in the valley below, 
and from whose summit William had first spied 
the little white oottuge, where he found themaiden 
who had now trusted her happiness to his care.— 
They turned and looked once more upon the scene. 
It smiled in the morning sunshine. “Shall we 
ever find another spot so sweet as this?*’ thought 
Ellen. “0, dear New-England! my heart clings 
fondly to thee; but farewell! I seek a home ' where 
the sun sinks to rest;’ and she laid her head on 
William’s shoulder and felt that it was not alone 
that she was forsaking home and friends^ that a 
brave and manly spirit accompanied her, which 
would be her support if her own strength should 
fail. Her husband guessed what was passing in 
her mind, and did not interrupt her meditations. 
They arrived at the depot, and unloaded the 
wagon. Edward said, aside, to Wn.LtAii, " Yon 
will find with your boxes at Chicago, a barrel with 
your address. Say nothing of it to Ellen hill yon 
reach your home," nnd they all passed into the 
sitting-room to await the arrival of the cars. In 
due time they came thundering np to the Station, 
and our travelers took passage. Edward saw them 
comfortably disposed and then bade them good¬ 
bye, and they were soon under good speed 
westward. 
CHAPTER III. 
At Chicago.— Old and New Acquaintances. 
Their journey was prosperous, though tiresome, 
and both Ellen and William felt glad when they 
had reached the terminus of their railroad travel¬ 
ing, in Chicago, William hod written to a friend 
of his who resided there with reference to his 
purpose of emigrating to the West, and askingliis 
assistance in the selection of a home. After as¬ 
certaining that his goods, and the mysterious bar¬ 
rel, were all safe, he went to the Post-Office, where 
he fonnd a letter from his friend, inviting them to 
call at his lionse, and giving plain directions as to 
its location. They rang the hell at the door of a 
fine mansion, and were admitted by an Irish ser¬ 
vant girl. They were cordially welcomed by Mr. 
Jacobs, a pleasant looking man of about thirty, 
who a few years before had been a classmate of 
William's. He remarked that Mrs. Jacobs would 
be in soon, and after some friendly inquiries, in¬ 
formed William that ha had selected a location 
which he thought would just suit him. The sec¬ 
tion of country was now, hut quite favorable in 
comparison with many others as regarded a mar¬ 
ket, and there was a prospect of its becoming a 
central position. Ellen felt, as she observed his 
kindly interest in their affairs, that they wore for¬ 
tunate in their first introduction to Western fami¬ 
lies; hut as she looked around her and noticed the 
splendor with which she was snrroundod, and thGn 
upon her own simple attire, and as the lady of the 
house had not yet made her appearance, Bbe felt 
that there might yet be some drawback to a 
pleasant acquaintance. 
At length she came in, a dark, Btately woman of 
thirty-two, with curious grey eyes, pug nose and 
compressed lips. She wore rich clothing, profuse¬ 
ly ornamented. She bowed coldly us her husband 
introduced his guests, and, without asking Ellen 
to remove her bonnet and cloak, seated InsrBelf 
and began critically to survey her from head to 
loot. The latter felt embarrassed us she noticed 
the inspection to which her clothing was being 
subjected, ihough her quick perception instantly 
recognized that it was no lady who was making 
the analysis. She felt relieved when at length 
William suggested departure. Mr. Jacobs warm¬ 
ly urged them to puss the night at his house, hut, 
they had lodgings engaged. Then they must, at 
least, stay to tea, which would soon he on the table. 
They could not well refuse, though Ellen would 
have gladly gone without her supper, rather than 
remain. Mrs. Jacobs then thought far enough to 
ask her guest to lay aside her hat. 
“ Were you aware, William, that our old friend 
Charles Newman is a resident of this city?” in¬ 
quired Mr. Jacobs, at the tea-table. 
“No, indeed, is he? Then I must certainly see 
him.” 
[Continued on page 96, tills No.] 
ried in clothes which we already have, and save 
the cost of new ones? We have decent clothing. 
“ Are you sex-ions Ellen?” 
“Certainly. I can see no reason why, in our 
circumstances, it would not be best.” 
“Well, I am willing, but I fear some of our good 
friends would think it looked a little like pennri- 
ousneBs.” 
“ There is one principle, William, which I have 
adopted; it is this: That I have a perfect right to 
regulate my own expenses, and keep them within 
my income, without regard to what other people 
may say; I never did, and I never will how the 
knee to Madam Fashion.” 
“Nobly said, my love! The more Iknowofyou, 
the more 1 feel encouraged to earnest endeavor.— 
Hand in hand, then, we will toil on, hope on, and 
strive to look higher than popular opinion for ap¬ 
proval. It may be that our poverty will prove a 
blessing, keeping ns from temptation, and energi¬ 
zing our characters.” 
“I think so; indeed dear William, I am not 
sorry that we are poor. It seems to me that the 
pleasure of building np a competence, will suffi¬ 
ciently reward us for our early trials!” 
“Well, Ellen, next week, if you are willing, 
shall consummate our union, and we will make 
immediate preparations for onr journey, that we 
may become settled on our land sufficiently early 
to get in Spring crops.”

'TlS idle to mourn over perishing gold, 
Or to weep for a fond hope betrayed. 
For the fair Tree of Knowledge springs up, a* of old, 
From the dust where our errors are laid. 
*Tis folly to think thBt the world is our foe, 
And heap bitter words upon fate, 
For one glorious hope light® the world with its glow— 
While we live it is never too late. 
Tis weak to grow haughty in fortune and power, 
Forgetting the nature w e bear. 
But 'tia weaker to fail in life's stormiest hour, 
And fold np onr hands in despair.' 
What might hare been done in time that is past, 
May be done e’en to-day, by the great; 
IT we only will hind opportunity fast, 
And think it is never too late. 
Crowns hare fallen away tom the foreheads of kings 
Who Altered a moment and feared, 
■While the hopeful and bold from the sommonest things 
The proudest of monuments reared. 
The heroes of life are the men of all time, 
Who oalmly their trial await, 
Who shrink not to delve and who fsar not to elimb, 
And know it is never too late. 
“ The Rural has come,” shout a hundred merry 
voices throughout our goodly land, as each week 
that inestimable paper makes its welcome appear- 
ance within their dwellings. Yes, “the Rural 
has come,” but why should that, concern the chil¬ 
dren? Ah, truly, we forget that good, kind Mr, 
Moore has reserved a nice, snug “Corner” for the 
little readers, into which he tucks enough amuse¬ 
ment and instruction, seasoned with good advice 
to last, them day and night, for a whole week, at 
least. But come, lay aside books, and play, and 
listen to Winnie awhile, and we will try to draw a 
lesson from “Nature’s teachings.” 
Did you ever think, dear children, what you 
could learn from the snow-flakes? No doubt you 
can tell of the lots of fun you have taken this win¬ 
ter in playing, sliding, skating and snow-balling, 
but when warm weather comes and the snow melts 
away, there will be nothing left of these sports to 
benefit you in the least degree. True, the memory 
of them will be pleasant, hut that will never help 
to make you good useful men and women. Did you 
ever notice the little flakes when they leave their 
home in the clouds, and commence their journey 
down to earth? How the rude north wind tosses 
them ahont in contrary directions, now up, now 
down, until at last, the persevering flakes gently 
sink to rest upon the hosoui of the earth. Perse¬ 
verance is the snow-flake’s first lesson. Many of 
yon doubtless, attend school, and you find many 
trials and perplexities attendant uponyour studies, 
but never give up for trifles, 
“ And U von should chance to find 
Lessons that perplex the mind, 
Persevere, persevere! 
Never borrow tear.” 
Let yonr motto be “ try again,” and you will most 
certainly succeed in all yonr undertakings. No¬ 
thing can exceed the new-fallen snow in its un¬ 
blemished whiteness. It is a beautiful emblem of 
purity. So children, should your hearts he as pure 
and innocent as the snow-flake. Let nothing enter 
through their portals to mar their purity. Banish 
from thence anger, hatred, envy and all unkind 
thoughts. Let love and gentleness ever reign 
there, so shall you be lovely and honored in all yonr 
ways. The snow-flake’s lessons, I trust, will not be 
unheeded, aud perhaps, ere long, we may again 
renew our “chat.”

HASTEN, SWEET SPRING! 
CHAPTER II, 
Preparations—The Bridal.— 
Hasten, sweet Spring, oh, hasten once more, 
Glad would I welcome thee as in seasons of yore ; 
Once more would I gather thy fresh blooming flowers, 
And range with delight tliy green shady bowers. 
Hasten, sweet Spring—once more would I feel 
Thy calm, healthful breezes across iny brow steal; 
I sigli for the blessings which thou dost impart— 
The beauties of Nature, so dear to my heart. 
Long our forests and fields have been shrouded in gloom, 
AY bile some that we loved have beeD laid in the tomb: 
Like the flowers that withered by Autumn's rude blight, 
They have vanished, have Hided, awhile from our sight. 
But soon the sweet Spring-time of joy will come, 
When the forms that lie slumbering in silence and gloom. 
Will arise with new life to greet the glad day, 
A Spring-time of joy that will ne’er pass away.

BY MRS. M. T. A. ClIOZIER 
For Moore’s Karol New-Yorker. 
ACBOSTICAL ENIGMA. 
CHAPTER I. 
Love and Poverty.—Plans and Purposes. 
“ Ellen, I love you, and if I know yonr heart, 
yon reciprocate my affection; but I have no home, 
no fortune to offer you. Can yon marry a poor 
man and be happy?” 
“ I tnist our happiness is not to be measured by 
gold, William! 1 know you arc poor; so am L— 
You do not ask my hand for the wealth it may be 
able to grasp; why should I be more selfish? No, 
I shall never marry for wealth or station, but for 
a noble husband. There is between us a sympa¬ 
thy of feeling aDd harmony of principles, which 
is the basis of all true love; and I feel that my 
happiness will be consummated only in union with 
such a kindred spirit; and if I walk the vale of 
poverty with such an one, it will not be a gloomy 
vale.” 
“ And yet, Ellen, property is a desirable con¬ 
sideration! We should need a home?” 
“ True, and by God’s blessing, with such hands, 
heads, hearts and habits as ours, may have one, 
too! Of myself I would not speak boast,ingly, 
though, for cne of my age, I have had some ex¬ 
perience in “the ways of life,” and think I have 
learned a Iobsod or two—but I know your temper¬ 
ate and industrious habits, your mental, moral and 
physical strength, and I believe we may be able at 
least to gain a livelihood. Let us be the architects 
of our own fortune, William— we shall doubly 
enjoy it so. The pleasure of accumulating, of 
growing up to a respectable position in the world 
will certainly equal the possession.” 
“Well, my brave girl, we will try; I am sure a 
man can sink no lower in the depths of poverty, 
while sharing his portion with a companion like 
yourself. But how? Have you any idea how we 
ean best increase our maans and procure a home? 
I have a little laid by, one hundred dollars,—all 1 
•ould save from my earnings, after providing for 
my mother and Bister—but this would go only a 
little ways towards purchasing and fitting np a 
home here, and I dislike to become pecuniarily 
involved.” 
“ No, I would not have you do it. We will go to 
the West. That one hundred dollars will take us 
there, and pay tor forty acres of government land. 
That will be a foundation for a home. I can add 
twenty-live dollars, saved from my last summer’s 
wages, which will purchase a cow and perhaps 
some other items. I have a sufficiency of cloth¬ 
ing for myself, with bedding and other household 
articles which, by economizing, I have managed 
ta get together, besides a few things left me by my 
mother. I’ll tell you what, Will, five years hence, 
we will have as pleasant a home as we can desire! 
Ii seems to me I see it now—our little prairie cot¬ 
tage in the sunset land, surrounded by fertile fields! 
Sweet, sweet home! My fancy h&B often pictured 
such a spot, while I have been a wanderer, an or¬ 
phan, with no home hearth-stone to love.” 
“ Your hope is large, dear Ellen !—I am glad of 
that, for we &ball have to meet Btern trials before 
your bright dream will be realized.” 
“I know it, William; but trials have strength¬ 
ened me to meet trials. I l'eel as though I could 
labor aud endure much, for a little spot ot earth, 
I could call my own.” 
“ A western home then, Ellen —but about the 
wedding? It will seriously infringe on our small 
capital, to procure a wedding outfit. I fear that 
by the time we should reach our destination, we 
should find but little left with which to purchase 
land, build a house, and provide the necessaries of 
life until we should be able to earn or raise 
something.” 
“Really, William, I don’t think our wedding 
outfit need be very expensive. Why not be mar-
