cob'r help we may have a fine garden yet. and we 
can readily dispose of everything we can produce to 
Goody Deters. Then (here is that strawberry bed 
that cousin Job set out when he was here last 
spring. It ought to bear a fine crop of fruit this 
year, and there is another valuable item for our mar¬ 
ket sales. Oh, well. I will not overwhelm you with 
too many plans at once, and this will do tor to-night: 
only 1 can tell you it wifi require some sacrifice, and 
agrcat deal of real, earnest, persevering work from 
all of us. There will he no more time for morning 
dreams—perhaps not for evening castle-building. 
We shall find some of the details of our work more 
disagreeable and more practical than they seem to 
us now. But, girls, 1 am in earnest, and I am sure 
you win be. It isn’t just the good and the comfort that 
I hope to win for us all; but somehow my life seems 
terribly wasted, and 1 feel as if I must bring out my 
powers, and let them grow in some direction. I 
must feel that I have accomplished something, if it 
is only raising a crop of cabbages.” 
We all went back to the house together, and as 
we went, not a word was spoken. 1 do not think 
either Mary or I were greatly roused, or ready for 
any very earnest endeavor. With a restless feeling 
Of dissatisfaction, and a vogue wish to do something 
to make matters better, there was the old distate for 
practical details, and the clinging to empty dreams 
still. As we reached the door, a song, sweet as a 
bird’s, dropping down upon us from the open cham¬ 
ber windows, made us stop to listen. Darling 
Neeme was kneeling by the window, with her 
white arms crossed upon the sill, and her fair cheek 
pillowed on them, singing softly, as she looked out 
at the young May moon, 
11 1 Jive for those who love me, 
Whose hearts are kind and true; 
For (lie heaven Dial smiles above me, 
Aud waits my spirit too; 
For all human ties that bind me. 
For the task by Gon assigned me., 
For the bright hopny left behind me, 
Aud the good that I can do.” 
All our hearts blessed the sweet singer, and as we 
entered the house I put my arms around Patience, 
and whispered softly, 
" For the task by God assigned me 
And the good that 1 tan do.'* 
And from that moment I was resolved,— I was in 
earnest, [Conclusion next week.] 
3,i>m1iscuicnte 
It sets me to dreaming, and, Matty, 
WHITHER AWAY DOES OUR GOOD SHIP DRIFT? 
over its waves. 
I can believe, while 1 am here, that some day our 
ship will surely come in.” 
I was in a practical mood that night, and could 
not sympathize as usual with Mary’s fancies. So, 
after a little silence, 1 said, 14 If things were only 
different with us. There is the farm,—it barely 
yields us a living, but I am sure it might do more; 
for I have heard ihe neighbors speak ol what it used 
to be. If we only had a brother to take hold of it in 
earnest, or if yo* or 1, Mary, were boys, we might 
hope for something. But /out* girls on a worn-out 
farm! What can four girls do?” 
“Everything,” said the cheerful voice we knew so 
well, and our sister Patience sat down between us 
with her arms about us both. Mary smiled, and 1 
listened with half a hope of hearing some good 
news; we all had so much faith in Patience. 
“ Don’t you remember, girls,” said she, “when the 
1 Oriola’ came in from her long voyage last summer, 
how long she lay off the bar waiting for a pilot? 
People bad been watching for her for weeks, and 
feared she was lost. Some had gold on board, some 
were expecting friends, and all were anxious to 
hear the report of her voyage, hut they all had to 
wait till they could send out a pilot to bring her in.’ 
Patience stopped and looked out over the water. 
“ Well?” said Mary, expectantly, as if she dimly 
saw what was meant 
“Well,” said Patience, folding her hands upon 
her knee in her own peculiar fusbion, “I’ve been 
thinking for some time, indeed, ever since father 
died, how we all of us have been talking all 
our lives about i our ship,' and hoping and waiting 
for some good fortune that was to come to us and 
make our lives brighter; but after all, girls, 1 am 
afraid we haven’t, really done anything to bring it 
nearer. Who knows but our ship has been lying 
these long years just outside the bar, only waiting 
ifor the pilot to bring it in. Mary, Matty, 7 mean 
to send one out!'' 
Patience rose to her feet as she spoke, and every 
line of her plain face glowed with the enthusiasm 
her earnest purpose had kindled. 
Mary looked at her with I know not what 
thoughts of admiration, as she dreamily repeated 
some line old lines from Dante; hut somehow the 
quotation only vexed me, and I do not think 
Patience heard it 
She sat down in a moment, quietly subsiding into 
her old self at my questioning,—“but how, Pa- 
tiknce?”— and folding her bands again upon her 
knee, she told us of her plans. 
“In the first place, we shall have to be our own 
pilots. The sooner we give up all thoughts of help 
from others, and rely upon ourselves, the better it 
will be for us. Then, for a real substantial depend¬ 
ence, our only boat is the farm. You need not curl 
your lip, Matty; it is something, and if I live 1 will 
show you it is a great deal more than you think. 
Let me toll yon just how we must begin; for I know 
1 shall have to he steersman, if I don’t have to row 
you all;” and she looked laughingly into the two 
faces that had clouded all over at hearing of nothing 
better than the poor old farm. You know well 
enough that my place is at home in all events. 
Mother has grown accustomed to leaning upon me, 
and no one else understands anything about manag¬ 
ing the dairy and the household matters. Then I 
am not clever and talented like Mary, and I have 
not a bit of Matty’s ambition and confidence. We 
want money, and wc must, get it, and the question is 
how?” 
“Oh, the farm. Patience,” said I, half jesting, 
hall impatient, 
“Yes, the farm. Matty dear; that is the very 
thing, aud the only thing at present, and this is how. 
We shall rent the old west wing of the house to 
Jacob Ball and his wife Sally,” 
“Bent the west wing!” exclaimed Mary and I 
together, “ and to that poor old couple.” 
“ Yes,” said Patience, very quickly, “it is of no 
earthly use to us, and has not been opened in a year. 
We need some man to help us occasionally, and 
Jacob can do a great deal, lame as he is, and you 
know lie is the best gardener in the country. Then 
lie has a horse, that will bo exceedingly useful to ns 
sometimes.” Mary and I looked at each other and 
burst into a peal of laughter. I believe we had not 
laughed in months before; but the vision of Pa- 
tienqe driving about the country with Jacob 
Ball’s old 1 Whitey,’ was too comical. Another 
such high-shouldered, slab-sided, stiff-jointed old 
beast, was never seen in our neighborhood. 
- Laugh away.” said Patiexce, “ I like to hear 
you, but I slick to Jacob and old 1 Whitey.’ They 
will repay us amply for the rent of those useless 
rooms. Unfortunately for us all the corn and grain 
land is rented for this season, hut we must make the 
most of the meadows and pastures. I've often heard 
Uncle Nathan say ibis farm ought to keep a dozen 
cows, and we have only four. I shall buy two more 
at once.” 
“And mortgage old 'Whitey’to pay for them, I 
suppose, said Mary, still laughing, but Patience 
looked a little pained, and went on hurriedly. 
••No, I shall sell my pony. You know how 
much Mr. Arlington has always wanted him for 
In a, and he once offered mo any price I chose to 
ask. After all, I shall not need him; for I shall 
have plenty of other exercise and very little time 
tor riding.” 
Both Mary and I felt in our hearts what a sacri¬ 
fice of feeling this decision had cost. She had hut 
one accomplishment, our sister Patience, and that 
was her perfect riding. There was not such another 
equestrian in the county, and this saddle-horse, a 
splendid creature, was her pet and pride, and had 
been given to her in a fit of enthusiasm by a wealthy 
relative, on whose farm she once spent the summer 
months. She went on hastily, as if tearing remarks 
from us. 
“ Then 1 will buy two of the very best cows, and 
instead of making butter the whole season, I mean to 
try a new plan. We are only a mile from the depot, 
and three by railroad from the city. Old Goody 
Peters goes down by the morning train all through 
the season, to market her young vegetables, eggs, 
and chickens. We will send our milk down to the ice 
cream and strawberry saloons by Ihe same train, 
and she will attend to it for a trifle. It will bring 
ue double the profit of butter, even at the highest 
market price, and save a world of labor and trouble. 
You will have to learn to help me about the milking, 
Mary, for you know the train goes through at four, 
and Matty here shall be market woman to take the 
cans down to the depot.” 
Mary involuntarily glanced at her slender white 
hands, in which she cherished a secret vanity, and I 
thought for an instant of blind old‘Whitey’ and 
the tattling milk cans; but Patience had sub¬ 
dued ns both by her voluntary self-sacrifice, and we

Auditions to Cluiib are always iu order, whether in ones,

can commence with the volume or any number; but the former

specially directed otherwise. Flense "make a note of it." 
ADITEKK to Terms—W e endeavor to adhere strictly to sub¬ 
scription terms, ami no person is authorized lo offer the Rural at 
less than published rales. Ageuta and friends are at liberty to 
ip or away ui many copies of the Rural as they are disposed to 
pay for at club rate, but we do not wish the paper offered, in 
any case, below price 
Select Yock Premium#.— If those forming clubs will specify 
the prenduros preferred, where they have the choiee, and name 
Express Office (in cases where they arc to be sent by Express,) 
in the letters containing their remittances, we shall be saved 
some trouble, and perhaps subsequent scolding. We desire to 
pay all premiums as promptly as possible. 
Frer Copies, Premiums, Xu—We give only one free copy to 
each person competing fur prenduins, however large the list 
procured; but those v ho do not compete for any premium, are 
entitled to an extra free copy for every ten subscribers over 
twenty. Mo#t agent# understand our offers correctly, and 
remit accordingly, but as some suppose we give both extra copies 
and premiums, we make the above statement that none inav be 
mistaken. 
About Club Terms, Ac.—We endeavor te adhere strictly to 
our club rates, which require a certain number of subscriber# to 
get the paper at a specified price —say ten to get it at $1.50 per 
copy, twenty to get it at $1.25. Ac. But, in answer to frequent 
inquiries, we would state that, in rase# where from four to six 
copies are ordered at $1 50 each, with a reasonable prospect of 
filling up a club of ten, we will send them — and when the club 
is completed shall send extra copy, 4c. We also send twelve to 
eighteen copies at the rate fur twenty ($J.26 per copy,) where 
the person sending is luboring for and is confident of obtaining 
a full club. TbiswiU accommodate those who do not wish to wait 
Back Numbers of this volume can still be supplied to new 
subscribers, and are sent in all case#, unless otherwise ordered. 
|-y- Any agent receiving more extra copies than he or she may 
be entitled to, will pleaso use them a# specimens, or in mipply- 
ing new subscribers—notifying us as to the person# who have 
been furnished the early numbers. [As our clerks usually mail 
a copy to the agent in the package responding to each order, 
some of our friend# may receive several extra copies for use a# 
above mentioned.]

MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
THK LAJIGK8T CIRCULATED 
AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY WEEKLY, 
13 PUBLISHED EVERY SATL’RDAY, 
D. I). T. HIOORE, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
Office, Union Buildings, Opposite the Court Ilonse, Buffalo Street 
TKRMS IN ADVANCE: 
Two Dollars a Year.—To Clubs and Agents as follows:— 
Three Copies one year, for $5; Six, and one free to club agent, 
for $10; Ten, and one free, for 316 ; Fifteen, and one free, for $21; 
Twenty, and one free, for *25, and any greater number at same 
rate — only - $1.25 per copy Club papers directed to individuals 
and sent to a# many different Post-Offices a# desired. As we pre¬ 
pay American postage on papers sent to the British Provinces, 
our Canadian agent# and friends must add L2\ cent# per copy to 
the club rates of Ihe Rural. The lowest priee of copies sent to 
Europe, Ac,, is *2.50 —including postage. 
gy Tub above Terms and Rates are invariable. Therefore, 
any person who is not an agent, sending the club rate ($1.50 or 
$1.25) for a single copy (the price of which is $2.) will only 
receive the paper the length of time the money pays for at full 
single copy price. People who send us less than published 
rate#, and request the paper for a year, or a return of the 
money, cannot be accommoelated —for it would be unjuBt to 
others to comply, and a great inconvenience to reflirn remit¬ 
tances. The only way to get the Rural for less Uihd $2 a year, 
is to form or join a club. 
Back Volumes - Bound copies of our last volumes will be 
ready in a few days—price, $3 ; unbound, $2. We would again 
state that neither of the first five volumes of the Rural can be 
furnished by usatany price. The subsequent volumes will be 
supplied, bound, at $3 each—or if several arc taken, at $2 50 
each. The only complete volumes we can furnish, unbound, are 
those of 1859, '60 and '61 —price, $2 each. 
The Cash Syktkm i# strictly adhered to in publishing the 
Rural— copies are never mailed to individual subscribers until 
paid for, and always discontinued when the subscription term 
expires- Hence, we force the paper upon none, aud keep no 
credit books, long experience having demonstrated that the 
Cash Plan is the best for both Subscriber and Publisher. 
Any person so disposed can act as local agent for the Rural 
New-Yorker, and those who volunteer in the good cause will 
receive gratuities, and their kindness be appreciated. 
No Traveling Agents are employed by us, as we wish to 
give the Whole field to local agents and those who form clubs.
