MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
NOV. 7. 
For Moore's Rural Now-Yorker~ 1 
DROUTH. ' 
A QCIBT hush is on the drowsy sir, 
The summer's sultry breath sweeps Blowly by, 
As though, o’erburdened with parched Nature’s prayer, 
It tired toiled to reach the burning sky, 
And, mid-way fainting, sank to earth again, 
To die in thirsty murmurs for the rain. 
From clattering wheels the powdered earth along 
The Tillage turnpike flies, in dusty clouds. 
While down the yellow slopes—a faded throng— 
The wild flowers faint, enclosed in tearless shrouds; 
And feverish roses bow tlieir drooping heads. 
To cheer the 6ighing pansies in their lowly beds. 
Wheeled high in air, the swallows homeware! fly, 
Breaking the deep repose with chattering tones; 
The robin warbles forth his plaintive ay, 
And the great, Lasy house-fly ceaseless droneB, 
While the hot grasshopper throngh the drowsy day 
Crackles the long, dull, heavy hours away. 
Through the wide fields the scorching sunbeams creep, 
Like fiery eerpcnls, 'mid the waving grain; 
And the parched corn, with husky voice and deep, 
Puts forth its long, green fingers for the rain; 
But yet no moisture comes, no cheering dews distill, 
While glow the sun’s red rays, the western arches fill.

TWO WATS TO SAVE MONET. 
A LIFE SKETCH. 
BY SYLVANTTS COBB, J B. 
The following sketch of real life so plainly ex¬ 
hibits a lesson which might be profitably followed 
by many of onr pc ople, that we give it to the read¬ 
er simply as it. occurred, only concealing the real 
nameB of the parties concerned. And asthe story 
bears its own moral we will not tire yon with any 
“ reflections.” 
John Poland and Anson I.yman bonght farms 
adjoining each other. The land bad formerly been 
owned by one man who had carried on the whole, 
employing a heavy force in the work. When the 
two friends bought the land it was as equally di¬ 
vided as possible; and after the line of separation 
had been run. those wbo had worked rnnch on the 
land declared that, they would not give the “toss 
of a copper ” for a choice between the two farms. 
The old buildings were almost useless, so new ones 
were erected, and at the same time both men com¬ 
menced farming in earnest. They were poor, hav¬ 
ing paid their last pennies for the farms, and 
being obliged to ran some in debt to get stock and 
tools. 
In all respects the two men commenced evenly. 
They were both married, and while Poland had 
one son and two daughters, Lymsn had one daugh¬ 
ter and two sons. 
“ Look ye,” said Lyman, ss the two sat together 
after their farming operations wen- commenced, 
“ I have set my mark to aim at. I’m determined, 
if I have my health, to Jay up a thousand dollars, 
clear of everything, in five years.” 
“ That, is rather a short time for such a purpose,” 
returned Poland. 
“Not a hit,” cried the other, enthusiastically.— 
“I’m not going to wear my back-hone away for 
nothing. Pm going to lay up money,” 
“Sol hope to do,” said Poland, “butmoney 
isn’t the first consideration. 
“ What’s the reason it isn’t!” asked Lyman. “If 
you have money you can have everything. Money 
is the key that unlocks all doors—the card that 
admits yon to all places. 0 ! give me a thousand 
dollars, and I’ll be content.” 
“ So I mast have a thousand dollars,” remarked 
Poland; and then the conversation took another 
turn. 
One day a man came along who had some splen¬ 
did young cattle. They were of a pure English 
breed, or rather a cross between two of the best 
breedB ever imported, and came very high. Poland 
saw him passing and hailed him. Our friend was 
anxious to grow a fine Htock, and he knew that he 
mast commence in the right way. 
The owner Of the Btock said he was willing to 
sell, but he must have his price. He had a fine 
“ No, sir. Can’t afford it. But there’s my neigh¬ 
bor Poland—he’ll take anything that anybody 
offers him.” 
11 I’ve called on him, sir, and he told me I’d bet¬ 
ter stop here. He said you were taking no agri¬ 
cultural paper.” 
“ And did he subscribe?” 
“Yes—and paid ine the money.” 
“I tell ye, Dolly, Poland’s thousand dollars ’ll 
come cut minus—now you mark my wordp.” 
to work —not to be spending their time over 
books. They get schooling enough when our 
school is open.” 
“So 1 mean that my children shall learn to work,” 
returned Poland; “bat that, shall not prevent them 
from becoming well educated. I would rather 
leave them with good health, good characters, and 
well educated, than with thousands of dollars each, 
minus the education.” 
“Oho! That’s the way yon meant to layup a 
BITS OF HUMOR. 
Coleman, the dramatist, was asked if he knew 
Theodore Hqpk. “Yes,” replied he, “Hook and 
eye are old associates.” 
Why is a vain young lady like a confirmed drunk¬ 
ard? Because neither of them is satisfied with a 
moderate use of the glass. 
“I’m glad this coffee don’t owe me anything,” 
said Brown, a boarder, at breakfast. “ Why?” said

was exercising a spirit of penurionsnees which 
looked mean; bat she did not say so. 
“Hallo! what ye doing?” cried Lyman, as he 
saw Poland commencing to run a fence across his 
field. 
“I’m going to throw out just half of this field 
into pasturing,” returned Poland. 
“What?” exclaimed Lyman, hardly able to be¬ 
lieve wbat he had heard. “ Throw off half of your 
field! Why—that wont leave yon with more than 
twenty acres to till.” 
“ I know it,—and that's all I want. I am deter¬ 
mined not to waste my time and energies in swing¬ 
ing ft scythe over forty acres of land after five and 
twenty tons of hay when I can get forty tons from 
twenty acres.” 
« Crazy as a March hare!” muttered Lyman, as 
be turned away. 
Ere long Lyman was met by another surprise.— 
He was at the hotel in the village, one day, and 
there learned that his neighbor Poland had en* 
gaged all their manure for four years; and that he 
was to pay for it in wood, and butter, and cheese, 
and such other atticles of produce as might be 
wanted, 
“Dolly, what do yon suppose Poland has been 
and done now?” 
“I don’t know, I’m sure,” returned the wife, 
looking up. 
“ Well, I’ll tell yoa. He’s been and engaged all 
the manure made at the tavern stables for the next 
four jears, and he’s got to haul wood, and let his 
butter and cbeese go to pay for it!” 
On the same day be saw Poland and asked him 
what he meant. -1 mean to bring my farm up,” 
returned the latter. 
“But I get manure enough for two aoreB of 
corn every year, and that’s enough,” said Lyman. 
“For you it may be, but I wish to manure more, 
Onr land was well run out when we took it, and in 
order to get it up to its fullest capacity ,ve must be 
prodigal of rich dressing.” 
“Well,” said Lyman, with a sort of pitying ex¬ 
pression—“go ahead; but if yon ever see your 
money, let me know.” 
and new tie-nps, and such like.” 
"You shall eee when the time is up.” 
“We shall,” returned Lyman, as he turned to¬ 
wards home. 
Mr. Lyman had not fully realized how much corn 
Poland had received from the land he had manur¬ 
ed so heavily and so carefully; and on the second 
year he only noticed that his neighbor had “ ex¬ 
traordinary good luck ” with his wheat, gettiug 
settle.” 
Shame, Bhauie!” cried a bumpkin orator at a 
pariah meeting in the country, “onr clergyman 
pays no rate.” "Yes, he does,” rejoined a wag.— 
"What rate does he pay?” inquired the other.— 
“Why, the cu-rate.”

One evening, jnst at sundown, he went over into 
Poland’s field, whero the men were just finishing 
raking up the three-acre piece where the grain had 
been the year before—the first piece the present 
owner had plowed np and dressed. 
“Beeupo ingsome hay on here,” said Lyman, 
as he Baw the huge bunches of hay nearly as thick 
as they could stand-

Visitors at Niagara Falls remember a staircase 
on the west side of Goat Island, called Biddle 
Staircase. Some one asked a iriend of ours why 
it was called by that name. “Why,” said the 
wicked wag, “because it wound up the bank, to be 
sure.” 
A chap out west, who had been severely afflict- 
“ No—this was all cut from these three acres,” ed w ith the palpitation of the heart, says he 
returned Poland. 
Lyman counted the bundles and then estimated 
their average weight, and upon reckoning up he 
found that the land had yielded not far from four 
tuns to the acre I He had just got in the two acres 
which he had first ureseed upon the new farm, and 
he had obtained short of two tuns per acre! He 
found instant relief by the application of another 
palpitating heart to the part affected. Quite an¬ 
other triumph of Homeopathy—“ like cores like.” 
A young lady explained to a printer, the other 
day, the distinction between printing and publish¬ 
ing, and at the conclusion of her remarks, by way 
of illustration, she said: “You may print a kiss 
“I’ll give you a good account, never fear,” re- ly, “are your eyes not opened yet?” 
plied Poland, laughing. “ I must feed my land if I 
would have it feed me. We haven’t got land here 
like those rich alluvial bottoms in the West. My 
land needs nursing now.” 
But Anson Lyman couldn’t see the use of wast¬ 
ing money in that way. He thought the man who 
would first cut his tillage land down one-half, and 
then go off and buy snch a quantity ol manure, 
must be little better than foolish. lie wasn't ench 
a fool, at ali events. 
Daring the following winter, while Lyman was 
cutting and hauling wood to the village for two 
dollars and a half per cord, “poor ” Poland was 
hauling hia to the tavern to pay for manure which 
he had not got yet! 
It was on the first day of April that Poland came 
to see his neighbor. He wanted to borrow a bun- ] 
dred dollars for Bix months, or for a year if he 
could. 
“What ye going to do with it?” asked Lyman. 
“ I want to make some improvements in my ham 
cellar, and also enlarge the building by putting on 
a tie-np, thus throwing the cattle out of my main 
barn.” 
“I declare, Poland, it’s too had,” slid Lyman, 
pityingly. “ Here I’ve laid up over two hundred 
dollars cle3r cash, and you arc worse oil than 
nothing—in debt- By the jingo, John, I don’t 
want to 9 ee yon fooling away money bo. Your 
barn is large enough—as large as mine is with

an hundred dollars what assurance have I that I

it is safe. I shouldn’t want to sue you, and I 
might not get it without. Your farm is as good 
as mine, and yon have no more need to he bor¬ 
rowing than I have—or, you shouldn’t have.”

were brought home, and Poland waa not disap¬ 
pointed in hia purchase. 
"Phew,” broke from LymaD’a lips, as he beard 
the price which his neighbor had paid for the new 
Btock. “Two hundred dollars for a two-year-old 
bull and heifer! Why—what on earth could yon 
have been thinking of, Poland? Why—I wouldn’t 
havo given seventy-five dollars for ’em no how.— 
My cows will give as much milk aud make as much 
butter and cheese. I tell you plainly you’ll never 
see that thousand dollars if you launch out in that 
way.” 
“But, my dear sir, I am determined to have the 
bCBt stock I can get,” retarned Poland earnestly; 
“for those farmers who have made the moat money 
have made it from stock. I assure yon it is one of 
the greatest failings our farmers have that they 
are content with small, poor cattle, when, by a lit¬ 
tle trouble aud expense, they could have much 
better.” 
“ My siock answers my purpose, at any rate,” re¬ 
sumed Lyman. “ I can’t afford to pay two hun¬ 
dred dollars for a pair of two-year-olds, and one o’ 
them a heifer at that, when for fifty dollars I can 
buy one of the beat cows in the country.” 
“You have aright to your own opinions.” 
“Aye—and I’ll have my thousand dollars, too,” 
laughed Lyman, as he turned away. 
It was only a week after this that the canvasser 
for an agricultural newspaper stopped at Lyman’s 
house; but the host couldn’t afford to take it. 
“Hadn’t you better?” ventured his wife. 
“No. We take the Vil.'age Pickings, published 
right our own town, and that’s enough. You know 
what I told yon, Dolly,—I must have that thousand 
dollars!” 
“ Then you won’t take it?” said the agent. 
and the calf they had yielded him, for which he 
had been offered within the week four hundred 
dollars. He owned that amount of stock over and 
above the stock owned by Lyman. He turned the 
subject of conversation as quickly as possible, for 
he wanted to hear no more reasons from his friend 
for not lending him the money. 
That afternoon he went over to see the man of 
whom be had bought this new stock, who lent him 
the money lie needed readily. 
“ What a fool I” said Lyman, as he saw the car¬ 
penters at work tearing away one whole side of his 
neighbor’s barn, preparatory to adding an apart¬ 
ment capable of accommodating forty-five head 
of cattle.” However, Poland worked on, and tried 
in vain to get his neighbor to listen to some of his 
advice. 
“ Don’t talk to me,” cried Lyman, at the end of 
the second year. “ I’ve got four hundred dollars 
at interest. How much have you got?” 
“ A thousand or so,” returned the other. 
“Eh? Wbat do yen mean?” 
“Why, all the money I have laid out on this 
place is on interest.” 
“ Oho—ah, ha, ha, ha,—and now how much in¬ 
terest have you realized?” 
“ So lor I’ve let it all run at compound interest 
—put tho interest right in with the principle, and 
there it lies,” 
“ Yes, aud there it will lie. I don’t believe you 
can raise fifty dollars now in cash.” 
“You are right, Lyman—I could not raise it 
without selling something which I do not wish at 
present to part with.” 
“I thought so. But take your own way.” 
Ere long Anson Lyman was astonished to find 
that his neighbor had subscribed for a third pa¬ 
per, besides buying a lot of books for his children. 
“What’s the use?” he said, as he sat iu his 
neighbor’s front room, and saw a large pile of 
books on the shelf? “ I want my children to learn

one fall he took over a thousand dollars for stock 
and produce; and he was offered five thousand 
dollars for hi 6 place, while Lyman could not have 
found a purchaser at fifteen hundred! 
“Dolly,” said Anson Lyrnan, sinking into a 
chair, “I’ve been a fool!—a fool! I say.” 
« Why—Anson—what do you mean?” 
“Mean? Look at Poland's farm.” 
“I have looked at it from the first, Anson.” 
“You havo? And what have you seen?” 
“ Why, 1 saw that John Poland waa making a 
comfortable home for himself and family, and in¬ 
creasing the value of hia farm tenfold.” 
“And why didn't you tell me so?” 
“I did tell yon ao, husband, and you said I waa 
a fooL” 
“ I remember. Well—never mind. ’Tisn’t too 
late now.” 
On the next morning Mr. Lyman went over to 
his neighbor’s and frankly said: 
“ Poland, you must help me. I want to learn to 
be a farmer.” 
“ I will help yon with pleasure, Auson; and you 
can begin far more easily than I did, for you have 
money.” 
And Lyman commenced. The thousand dollars

FERSEVEKENCE. 
I once saw a company of boys out on the ice 
skating. All were in high glee, chasing each other 
over the smooth surface, tmd cutting all sorts of 
figures, except one fellow who was sitting down on 
the ice. ne held his skates in his baud, and while 
the others were having fine s t ort, he was curled 
up shivering with the cold. 
“What’s the matter, Jim?” said Chas. Sprightly, 
coming round iu a graceful curve to where James 
was sitting. 
“I’m cold,” answered James, almost crying. 
“Cold!” was Charley's laughing reply, as he 
wheeled upon his skates and darted off, “up and 
at it, then.” 
Yes, that’s the way, boys; if we don’t want to 
freeze to death in this cold world, we must “ap 
and at It.” Who cares if the work is bard? Who 
cures about labor and toil ? Not that smart,
