MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER 
ADVERTISEMENTS 
prise and pleasure lighted the old man’s face. I 
knew he was goiDg to ‘let cff’ a volley from his 
magazine of wisdom, for he had drawn down his 
waistcoat and cleared bis throat, which always 
preceded one of his speeches; but I did not sop- 
pose he would Bay what he did.” 
“‘Squire,’ he commenced, addressing my father, 
1 this hook was in its time the completest and in- 
terestingcst work of the age. I’ve beatn my father 
tell how he wouldn’t take five hundred dollars for 
it in hard cash at. any time. I’ve read it thro’and 
thro’ and couldn’t ever get tired on’u Bat I tell 
yon there’s no sich now days. Books has got 
plentier, and got wnsser aa they growed. I've ob- 
sarved,’—now this is what I recollected in particu¬ 
lar of the old man’s speech,—* I’ve ohsarved that 
men don’t write now days as they used to; and 
they kinder somehow never strike npon sich tales 
as this. There isn’t sich a taste for the marvel¬ 
lous.’ 
"I have often thought of' the Prophet’s’ remark 
since, and, as I said, it came into mind to-day.— 
The old man was wrong in saying that, hooks grew 
worse in tone, as they increased in number, altho’ 
this is to some degree true. But, if we peruse the 
works of the later proBe writers, and compare 
them with those of the past, we cannot but notice 
the improvement in Bty'e and seleciionof subjects, 
with the advancement of the taste and education 
of the literary community,” 
«I have heard other persons express opinions 
directly opposite,” said my wife, when 1 had fin¬ 
ished speaking: "many prefer the old writers to 
the new.” 
« And in some respects so do T,” I replied, *• but 
‘ the Prophet’ was right in saying tt at, there wa9 
not such a taste for the marvellous. I shall never 
forget that old story which I used to read when a 
hoy. Written as it was in the style of those who 
wrote two centuries ago, containing so much of 
the marvellous and ghostly, and holding the read¬ 
er so long in suspense, it made an impression up¬ 
on my young mind which haB alwaysremained. I 
now regard it as a ridiculous tale—the wild imag¬ 
inations of some forgotten writer—hut its oid fas¬ 
cination still hangs about, it.” 
h i ebould very much like to hear it,”said Lucy, 
becoming interested in what I had been relating. 
As it had been my Jutention from the first to 
read it, I went to the old book case, which had 
Btood in the room so long that it seemed a part of 
it, and unlocking the curiously moulded doors 
took down a dust-covered volnroe, b-’und in the 
antique style, from among a numter of old works 
upon the higher shelf. 
It was a cold, stormy night in November, the 
rain had just commenced falling, aDd the wind, 
which had arisen since dusk, went wailing around 
the old home, shaking the shutters and windows, 
and making strange, dismal noises, as it moaned 
through the swaying trees. I knew it was a fitting 
time for what. I was about to read, so I stirred the 
fire until it leaped into the chimney with a cheer¬ 
ful blase, and with Lrcr looking intently at me, 
opened the volume, and thug began: 
SIR BERTRAND.—A FRAGMENT. 
Sir Bertrand turned his steed towards the 
wolds, hoping to cross those dreary moo s before 
the curfew. But, ere he had proceeded half 
bis journey, he wna bewildered !>y the dilT-rent 
tracks, and not being able as far as the eye could 
reach, to espy any object hut the brown heath 
surrounding tiro, be was at length quite uncertain 
which way he should direct his course. 
Night overlook him in this situation! It was 
one of those nights when the moon gives a fain", 
glimmering of light through the lhiek, black 
treading lightly, for the echoes of his footsteps 
startled him. It led him to the foot of another 
staircase, and then vanished. 
At the Bame instant another toll sounded from 
the turret! 
Sir Bertrand felt it, strike npon his heart 1 He 
was now in total darkness, and with hia arms ex¬ 
tended, began to ascend the second staircase, A 
dead, cold hand met his left hand, and firmly 
grasped it, drawing him forcibly forward ! He en¬ 
deavored to disengage himself, but could not; be 
made a forions blow with his sword, and instantly 
aloud *hrhk pierced his ears, and the dead hand 
was left powerless with bis! He dropped it, and 
rushed forwards with a despterate valor. The stairs 
were narrow arid winding, and interrupted by fre¬ 
quent breaches, and loose fragments of stone. The 
staircase grew narrower and narrower, 3nd at 
length terminated in a low iron grate. Sir Ber¬ 
trand pushed it open,—it led to an intricate, wind- 
Washington in a Tight Place. — Col. Lee 
collected the subscription for the equestrian statue 
of Washington, in Union Park, N. Y. One old cur¬ 
mudgeon, whose house looked out npon the statue, 
was told that the monument would perpetually re¬ 
mind him of the Father of his Country. 
“Ah! colonel,” answered old Lucre, “I do not 
require a statue t,o remind me of him, for I always 
carry Washington here,” and he placed his hand 
npon his heart "Then let me tell yon,” replied 
Colonel Lee, “if that is so, all I have to say is, 
that yon have got Washington in a very tight 
place!”

Dutch Candor.— Some ten years since an old 
Dutchman purchased, in the vicinity of Brooklyn, 
a snag little farm for nine thousand dollars. Re¬ 
cently, a lot, of land speculators called upon him 
to buy him oat. On asking his price he said he 
would take sixty thousand deliars. 
"And how much remain on bond and mort¬ 
gage?” 
“Nine thousand dollars.” 
"And why not more?” interrogated the would- 
be purchasers. 
"Because the darned place isn’t worth any 
more!”

A Hatpy and Rich Editor.— An exchange says 
that editors are as a general thing not overstock¬ 
ed with worldly goods. Humbug. Here we are, 
editor of a country paper, fairly rolling in wealth. 
We have a good office, a double-barreled rifle, seven 
suits of clothes, three kittens, a Newfoundland 
pup, two gold watches, thirteen day and two night 
Bhirts, carpets on our floor, a protty wife, own one 
oorner lot, have ninety-three cents in caBh, are out 
of debt, and have no rich relatives. If we are 
not wealthy it ia a pity. Hurrah for hurrah!— 
Who cares for cash?— Horicon (Wis.) Argus. 
each side of it Along the room, on both sides, 
were gigantic statues of black marble, attired in 
the Moorish habit, and holding enormous sabres 
in tbeir right hands. Each of them reared his 
arm, aod advanced one leg forwards, as the knight 
entered; at the same moment the lid of the coffin 
flew open, and the bell tolled! 
The flame still glided forwards, and Sir Ber¬ 
trand resolutely followed, till he arrived within 
six paces of the coffin. Suddenly a lady, in a 
shroud and black veil, rose np in it, and stretched 
out her arms towards him. At the same lima the 
statues clashed the’r sabres and advanced! S r 
Bertrand flewtothe lady, and clasped her in bis 
arms. She threw op her veil and kissed bis lips; 
and instantly the whole building shook, as with an 
earthquake,and fell asunder with a horrible crash! 
Sir Bertrand was thrown into a Biidden trance, 
and on recovering found himself seated upon a 
velvet sofa, in the most maguifloent, room he had 
ever seen, lighted with innumerable tapers, in lus 
tree of pure crystal. A sumptnoun banquet, was 
set in the middle. The doors opening to soft mu¬ 
sic, a lady of incomparable beauty, attired with 
amazing splendor, entered, surrounded by a troop 
of gay nymphs, more fair than the Graces. Bhe ad¬ 
vanced to the knight, and lulling on her knees, 
tbankod him as her deliverer. The nympbsplaced 
a garlaud of laurel upon his head, and the lady led 
him by the hand to the banquet, and sat beside 
him. The nymphs p aced themselves at the table, 
and a numerous train of servants entering served 
np the feast; delicious music playing all the time. 
Sir Bertrand could not speak for astonishment,— 
he could only return tbeir honors by oonrteous 
looks and gestures. After the banqnet was finish¬ 
ed. all relired bnfc the lady, who. leading the 
knight to the sofa, addressed him in these words:

"Is that the end?” asked my wife, as I suddenly

“And wbat does it all amount to?” 
"Only the effect it leaves npon the mind.” 
“ Bot it stops so suddenly,” she continued. 
"That is the great charm of it,” I said, and

denly emerged in full splendor from her veil, and 
then ins antly retired behind it; having just serv¬ 
ed to give the forlorn Sir Bertrand a wide, ex¬ 
tended prospect over the desolate waste. Hope 
and native courage awhile urged him t,o push 
forwards, hut ftt length the itu.'resting darkness 
and fatigue of body overcame him; he dreaded 
moving from the ground he stood on, for fear of 
unknown pits and bog-, and, aligh ing from hia 
horse in despair, be threw himself upon the gto md. 
He bad not long continued in that posture, when 
the sullen toll of a distant bell struck hip. eu’v—he 
started up. and turning towards the Bound, dis¬ 
cerned a dim, twinkling light 
Instantly he seized bis horse’s bridie, and with 
cautions step advanced toward) it After apainful 
march, he was stopped by a moated ditch sur¬ 
rounding the place from whence the light pro¬ 
ceeded; and by a momentary glimpse of moon 
light be had a full view of a large, antique man¬ 
sion, with turrets at the corners, and »q ample 
porch in the centre. The injuries of time were 
strongly marked on even thing about it. TUerouf 
in various places was fallen in the baulements 
were half demolished, and the windows broken 
and diBmanUed. A draw-bridge, with a ruinous 
ga’eway at each end, led to the court before the 
building. 
He entered, and ins'antly the light, which pro¬ 
ceeded from a window in one of the turrets, 
glided along and vanished; at the same moment 
the moon sunk beneath a black cloud, andthe night 
was darker than ever! 
All was silent! 
Sir Bertrand fastened hia steed under a shed, 
and approaching the house, iriversed its whole 
front with light and Blow footsteps. 
All was still as death! 
He looked in at, the lower windows, but could 
not distinguish a single object through the im¬ 
penetrable gloom. After a short.parley with him¬ 
self, lie entered the porch, aud seizing a massy iron 
knocker at the gate, lined it up, and hesitating, at 
length ttruck a lond stroke, 
The noise resounded through the whole mar eion 
with hollow echoes. All was sri l again! He re¬ 
peats d Ihe sirokesmore boldly and louder—another 
interval of siknee ensued. A third time he knock¬ 
ed, and a third time all was atlll! 
He then fell back to some distance, that be might,

whole front, It,again appeared, in the same place, 
an i quickly glided away aa before. At the same 
instant a deep, Bullen toll sounded from ihe turret I 
Sir Bertrand's heart made a fearful stop—he 
wss awhile motionless; th< n terror compelled him 
to make some hasty steps towards his s’eeil,— but 
shame stopped his nigh!; and urged by honor,and 
a restless desire of finishing ti e adrenuje, he re- 
bulled to the porch; and working up his son’ to a 
full sieadatfes of resolution, he drew forth his 
sword in one hand, and with the ot' cr lifted np tho

Always on the Mark. — Yes, always on the 
mark. It is possible even for boys, and if you are 
not on the mark wciile you are boys, you will not 
bo when you have grown up to manhood. Every 
individual is more or leas governed by habif, and 
if you cultivate the habit in youth of being punctual 
it will be au caay matter to be always on tbe muk 
when yon have grown up to assume the active 
duties of life. How frequently have we heard tho 
remark made in reference to some particular in¬ 
dividual,—"he ia always late—he never keeps an 
appointment?” A man who is forever late, always 
behind the appointed lime, will soon lose the con¬ 
fidence of the community, for they will correctly 
reason that he has hut little regard for bis word. 
Endeavor, then, while young, to cultivate the habit 
of punctuality; aim to incorporate it into your 
being as an iudispcnBible element o( character.—
