MOORE’S RURAL NEW-TORKER, 
Tint kAF.ri* 8 T- rtRCCI-ATIKO 
Agricultural, Literary and Family Newspaper, 
IS PITBUSHItn mtBT RATTUDAY 
BY D. D. T. MOORE. ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
Office, Union Ikiildina, Opposite the Court Horae, BaSalo St 
tion that she will always be there to com fort 
you — to order the well-cooked dinner, to dust 
the books on the shelves, and plan the little 
garden that is your pride. In which 6he helps 
yon set the long rows of strawberry vines and 
marks with glowing enthusiasm the rapid strides 
of the many-colored verbenas over the dark 
mould. 
Well, you settle down thus, and by and by the 
earthquake opens at your feet. Birdie tells 
yon, with a sweet look in her downcast eyes, 
that young Dodge has been accepted by her and 
expects with your consent, which will be asked 
for in due time, to marry her — and thus ends 
yonr dream. 
Young Dodge is a nice fellow, whole soulcd 
and honest, belongs to a respectable family, 
and is in good standing In society—you have 
no personal objection to him, but you are 
thunderstruck. When and where have they 
met? Y'ou have an indistinct remembrance of 
seeing him in your parlor occasionally—of bear¬ 
ing him read aloud to Bihdib while she sat busy 
with Tier needle—and you have looked out into 
the garden of moonlight evenings and seen them 
stand under the rose arch talking, but all so 
calmly and quietly that you had no thought 
they were discoursing of I.ovc. 
Presently you look over your affairs a little. 
Birdie must have something with which to 
feather her nest; she Las been a treasure at 
home—she must not go empty-handed away - 
and you remember that last live hundred you 
put into the bank Christmas Day, thinking if 
you should be tick again xtie would have some¬ 
thing to draw from, and resolve that it shall 
go, every cent, for her outfit. And you begin 
to select; she must have silks and laces now,— 
she Is to be a bride, and you will it that she 
shall he dressed like other brides, and as the 
thick brown silk is sent home and the hand¬ 
somest set of laces selected, as young Dodge 
says it must he as soon as she can be ready, 
for his home wants her — he has seen how 
bright she made your own. 
Then the dressmaker stitches away in the 
sitting room, and through the open door you 
6ee Birdie bending her dear face over the trim¬ 
ming of her grey traveling dress, and you hear 
May out in the garden romp’mg with her cat, 
and sigh to think she is growing up so unlike 
the one who is to go. You tremble, for you see 
the gauze uufoldiilg, and in the restless flutter 
of her half-fledged wings you fear there is a ten¬ 
dency to the street, and the little nest under the 
eaves which will soon be desolate will wait and 
hang empty for all ithe will ever ill! it. 
not satisfied with superficial 
practice, and she is 
execution. 
There is the dear little nest hnng somewhere 
about the house — generally close under the 
eaves, where the homelike patter of the rain 
lulls her to slumber in the lonely nights. 
Therein you will find no clatter of traps which 
the Street Bird sets to entangle the unwary. 
There Is the wardrobe in which bang a few plain 
dresses_so few and plain you wonder when 
you see bow perfectly neat and ladylike she 
looks when dressed; there Is the toilette stand- 
no washes, no lily bloom, no roseate tinge, no 
eyebrow blackness, no pomades for the smooth 
hair parted so simply and combed back from the 
full, fair face — only a few simple brushes for the 
teeth aDd nails and hair, and the never empty 
ewer of water which speaks for her purity of 
person. 
Next door, in the bright chamber, is the eyrie 
of the Street Bird. It almost looks into our 
Brawn’s nest — open the door and behold the 
contrast; if you can enter, note the bedizzened, 
bedraggled heaps of silks and muslins, and pilot 
your way to the toilet-table, if you can in safety. 
Take an inventory of its. contents. Lily bloom, 
roseate tinge, moth lotion, blooming Ceres, gly¬ 
cerine, gold dust, rats, mice, curls, waterfalls, 
coils, combs, ribbons, nets, flowers, Jeweled 
birds, brushes innumerable, and —chaos over 
all. Be thankful that your bird is the Home 
Bird —that she is siczed with no periodical fits 
of migration, not sits up late at night, to trim 
some half-worn pair of silken wings, because 
papa indignantly refused to buy her a new set 
last week. 
Bright eye* and happy faces beam when eur 
Home Bird flits into the parlor, and we know 
the sense of restfulncss which she brings, as she 
folds her plain, brown plnionB and takes out the 
little thimble, adjusting it to the middle linger, 
and sows so quietly on the long strip of muBlin 
for May’s dainty skirts. And when sickness 
comes, as it did to you in the last autumn — 
when you fought for -days against the strange 
languor and oppressiveness, and wondered to 
what bourne your usually good spirits had 
flown, and finally you were forced to the wall 
and your antagonist laid his strong hand upon 
you, and the fire burned in your veins and yonr 
tongue was dry and parched, and “ water, 
water,” was all the cry you could make— when 
you started from dreams of cool fountains which 
lay just beyond chasms yawning like death at 
your feet, sht: was by your side, and her little 
hand lay cool on your forehead, and &be dropped 
the curtain before the blazing light, and your 
eyes followed her wistfully about the room, as 
with noiseless steps she set aside tlie long array 
of vials, so suggestive of nauseous draughts, 
and put in their stead the great marble pitcher, 
filled with water, and you heard the clink of the 
ice against it and wanted to look into its depths, 
but dared not ask. Was she to be measured in 
her worth then—was there any value which you 
could 6ot upon such services ? 
And when you were convalescing — when, 
with nerves all bared by the loug agony of fever, 
you sat in the easy chair in dressing-gown and 
slippers, who read to yon from the morning pa¬ 
pers, avoiding the mention of stocks which had 
gone down, of which you held considerable 
shares?—who gave you the first bunch of white 
OLD WINTER IS COMING, 
BY HUGH MOKE, 
OLT) Winter is coming again-alack! 
How icy and cold is he! 
lie cares not a pin for a shivering back; 
He’s a sancy old chap to white and black; 
He whistles his chills with ft wonderful knack, 
For he comes from a cold country! 
A witty old fellow this Winter is— 
A mighty old fellow for glee! 
He crack* hts jokes on the pretty, sweet miss, 
The wrinkled old maiden, unfit to kiss, 
And freezes the dew of their lips; for this 
Is the way with old fellows like he 1 
Old Winter’s a rrollceome hlnde, I wot— 
He is wild in his humor and free! 
He’ll whistle along for “ the want of thought;” 
And set all the warmth of our furs at naught; 
And rufllo the luces by pretty girls bought— 
A frolicsome old fellow is he! 
Old Winter is plowing his gusts along, 
And merrily Rbaklng the tree! 
From morning till nl^ht he will sing his song— 
Now moaning, nnd short—now howling, and long- 
HIb voice is loud, for his lungs are etrong- 
A merry old fellow is he 1 
Old Winter’s a tough old fellow for blows, 
As tough ns ever you fee! 
He will trip up your trotters and rend your clothes. 
And stiffen your limbs from your flngera to toes; 
He minds not the ciles of his friends or his foes— 
A tough old fellow Is he! 
A cunning old fellow is Winter, they say, 
A cunning old fellow is he! 
He peeps in tin; crevices day by day, 
To see how we’re passing our time away, 
And mark all our doings from grave to gay,— 
I’m afraid he’s peeping at me!

You wondered If Birdie would forget her 
old father ia the new home to which she went. 
She was married three months ago, and the wed- 
diug trip passed oil - , and you took the happy 
bride to your Btout heart after she returned, and 
a tear was on your cheek when you let her slip 
from yonr arms, and you wondered if yofi were 
growing weak in your age. She flits iu and out 
of your dwelling—lakes little May to her heart, 
comforts Tommy, and says she must warm two 
hearths now—one for you, and one for Willie, 
and you are very content in her happiness. 
As 1 sit here in the morning hour, I hear the 
song of another Home Bird trilling sweetly 
away, flow her father’s eyes glisten with pride 
when he returns from his ten hours in the dusty 
shop, to find tbe table set by her deft fingers 
that have just left sewing to make tea lor her 
tired father. She wears a simple muslin and a 
spotless apron; a knot of bright velvet at the 
throat relieves the little bit of lace which she 
was persuaded to buy real, because it lasted so 
much longer 6he thought it would pay. There 
are roses over the door, swinging their fragrant 
censors, drifting their pink leaves into the house 
with every breath of the south wind ;—she trained 
them after papa made the simple lattice, and the 
great purple pansies that blossom under the win¬ 
dow are cared for by her little brown hands. 
She sews on the missing buttons — takes the 
fretful baby out under the cherry trees, and 
mimics the. call of the rohin ia the bough, 
soothing him jnto quietude—reads the paper 
to her father when his hour in tbe garden is 
over, and he waits tor the night with folded 
hands. No querulous hours of murmurinL - 
over a ruined dress—no expression of fretful 
disappointment about the weather — a grey 
storm is pleasant to her, when the falling of 
the ram is all the sound you hear, and she can 
set the house right, and lake the coveted book 
for a long season of pleasure or profit. Her 
brown, unpretentious wings fold themselves 
snugly over the white breast, and content 
nestles in the pure heart into which vanity 
canuot enter and abide. Blessed be the home 
in which she dwells!—blessed be the. hearts 
which morniug aud evening feel the warmth 
of her restful presence! 
The world at large knows them not—the inti¬ 
mates of the family pats by the quiet girl who 
moves with noiseless hands the perfect ma¬ 
chinery of home, and admire with loud words 
and fluttering jihrases mat other bird, whose 
silken wings flutter in and out, song singing and 
captivating with all those traps which you saw 
in chaos within her eyrie. 
If we could whisper to the young mustaehed 
man, who dreams while he leisurely smokes his 
cigar on the verandah, under the swinging roses, 
we should tell him to seek tbe quiet Home Bird 
and make of her a true and loving wife—a help¬ 
mate to perfect existence. We would pledge 
ourselves that there was no subtufuge in her 
ways—that all was pleasantness and peace; but 
perhaps lor all that he ^ould pass her by aud be 
entangled in the wiles of a humming-bird beau¬ 
ty— cheat himself with, a false set of curls, and 
wake after the honeymoon was over, to liud 
lily bloom and roseate tinge the basis of the 
loveliness which he had worshipped,— and, all 
too late, that, instead of a wife wnonx he conld 
Jove and respect, he had wedded a capricious 
bird of passage. 
We pity them, and we pity the birds,—won¬ 
dering iu what age the Etaitl, sensible lamilies 
will begin to send oat staid, sensible girls again, 
and the louely Home Bird find herself the ad¬ 
mired of all admirers. Guard jealously the 
daims of your own ; let each one shelier from 
rude storing the brown- winged pet of his heart, 
and let no stain of the world brush those downy 
pinions, lest the freshness wear away. There is 
no cosmetic which will restore the bloom; once 
gone it is forever gone.—like the youth which 
we see slip away, it returns no more forever.
