TO ADVERTISERS 
THE LOST LITTLE SISTER 
The Ritual New-Yorker ha9 a circulation 
which aggregates morh than double that of 
any other Newepapar of its Clem on this Continent. 
Since its Enlargement and Improvement, and 
the removal of lta principal office to New York, 
the Rural’s bona fide subscription list has con- 
j stantly and rapidly increased, in both Town and 
Country, and is already over Twenty Thousand 
greater than ever before. As an Advertising 
I Medium the Rural is unquestionably the tttst 
i and Cheapest tit its Sphere Of Journalism, present- 
I ing groat advantages to those who wish to adver¬ 
tise widely and profitably — for through it they 
i can reach, at once, tens or thousands of the 
most enterprising and wealthy Fanners, Plant¬ 
ers, Horticulturists, Stock Breeders, &c\, and 
thousands of City and Village Capitalists, Mer¬ 
chants, Manufacturers, Professional Men, &c., 
. Arc., throughout the country. 
That the Rural New-Yorker is such a mo- 
i diutu as is claimed, lias been attested by many 
prominent Manufacturers, Nurserymen, Seeds¬ 
men, Breeders of Improved Stock, dealers, In 
Agricultural Implements, Machinery, Fertil¬ 
izers, &c., Wholesale Merchants, Publishers, Real 
Estate and Insurance Companies, Agencies, &o., 
&c., who have advertised in Its pages. We are 
aware that, there is a vast deal of “ gammoning" 
about the circulation of various periodicals, by 
which many advertisers are swindled, but wo 
can satisfy any one interested that the actual 
subscription of the Rural Is sufficiently largo 
and wide to substantiate all we assert. 
Our Rates are low in proportion to extent and 
character of circulation. And the fact that but 
limited space is devoted to Advertisements, end 
that (to keep the department free from humbug 
and deception,) many are refused, renders the 
Rural far more valuable to legitimate Business 
Men: for its announcements ate generally so 
new, and of such a reliable character, as to bo 
carefully read and heeded by nil interested. 
Advertisements of Patent Medicines, &c., arc 
not desired.

ON summer nights, as day did gleam, 
With waning light, from red to wan, 
And we did play above the stream, 
That near our house-lnwn rumbled on, 
Our little ulster lightly Hew 
And skipped about. In all her pride 
Of snow-white frock and sash of blue, 
A shape that night w#» stow to hide — 
Beside the brook, that trickled thin 
Among the pebbles, out and In. 
When wind may blow, at evening-time, 
Now here, now there, by mound und nook, 
It may he on the leafy line, 
Or gray-bough'd withy by the brook, 
Or on the apple trees may fail, 
Or on the elms, beside the grove, 
Or on the lofty tower’* wall. 
On place* where we used to rove— 
Then every sound. In every place. 
Will call to mind her pretty face. 
Where periwinkle's had* of blue, 
By lilies’ hollow cups may ulnd, 
What, then, can their two colors do. 
But call our sister bark to mind ? 
She wore ho black - she wore her white, 
She woro no black — she wore her blue, 
She never mourned another’s flight, 
For she has been the first that flow 
From where onr nimble feet did tread, 
From stone to stone, the water’s bed.

evil. He could do Mr. Brown a kindness 
by warning him of the intention of the boys 
to rob his orchard. To bo sure, it was hardly 
the kind of revenge Tom had meditated 
when he found Carlo dead in the corner of 
the fence, but he could not help feeling that 
it was a nobler sort. And when he reached 
the gate of Mr. Brown's, ids resolve was 
taken, lie went up to the door and knocked. 
Mr. Bbown came to lira door. 
“Mr. Brown,” Tom said, in a hurry to 
have his errand done and lie off, “ some of 
the boys are intending to rob your orchard 
to-night. I thought I would stop and let you 
know, so that you could be on the lookout 
for them.” 
“ Was you going to help them?” the old 
man asked, looking Tom steadily in the face, 
“ No, sir,” answered Tom, “ I am not a 
thief.” 
“ I suppose you did this as a return for the 
favor I did yon of getting that dog of yours 
out of the way, didn’t you?” said Mr. 
Brown, with a gruff kind of a laugh that 
was very disagreeable. 
“I did it because it was right” said Tom, 
and turned awajL 
The boys made an attempt to rob the 
orchard but failed. “ OJd bachelor Brown” 
was watching, and drove them off before 
they hatl secured one of the coveted apples, 
The next morning a bagful of the juicy, 
mellow fruitage was found on Mr. Glea¬ 
son’s step, with a slip of paper bearing 
Tom’s name pinned on it. There was 
nothing else to show where it came from, 
but Tom knew well enough. It was the 
fruit of his revenge.

GLIMPSES OF GENIUS, 
A Rhode Ist ,and horse fancier, who thought 
he knew a thing or ttvo, recently swapped a 
white horse for a eream-ecdorod one, paving 
Bomethiug “ to boot." More lately ho traded oir 
his cream-color for a beautiful glossy coal- 
black horse, paying “hoot" again. Very soon, 
however, l lie ccal-black grew rusty, and in spite 
of all Ins efforts has turned into the identical 
white horse which he first traded off. 
A sian coming homo late, a little more than 
“half-seas over,” feeling thirsty, procured a 
glass of water anil drank It. In doing so, he 
swallowed u small ball of silk which lay In the 
bottom ot the tumbler,' the end catching his 
teeth. Feeling Someth ing, lie began pulling at 
the end, and the little ball unrolling, he soon had 
several yards In his hands, and no end appeared. 
“Wife! wife," he said, “ wife, come here 1 I'm

RncovitiUNO Property. Pray, Madam, 
what do you charge for re-covcring an um¬ 
brella? "said Michael O'Flaherty, from Tipper¬ 
ary, the other day, walking into an um¬ 
brella slum. “ Let me see it," was the re¬ 
ply. Ah. faith I and that's just, what I yvant 
to do, for I’ve lost one, nml I aeoyou offer to re¬ 
cover them am very small charge, so 1 was just 
thinking I Would get you to reeover mine.” 
Thoshojikeeper was instantly immersod In a fit 
of the deepest speculation. 
BOOTS. 
“ Tresis boots wore never made for mo, 
Those boots are too small by half, 
I want them large enough, d’ye see, 
To cover sill the Calf.” 
“ Well, sir," said Wulte, with Stifled laugh, 
“To alter them I’ll try; 
But if they cover all the calf, 
They must be lire fat high.” 
A lawyer at it circuit town in Ireland dropped 
a ten pound note under the table while playing 
cards at the inn. He did not discover his loss 
until he was going to bod. but then returned 
Immediately. On reaching the room he was met 
by the waiter, who said;—“1 know what you 
want, sir; vnu have lost Something.” “Yes, I 
have lost« ten pound note.” "Well, sir, 1 have 
found It, and here it is.” “Thanks, my good 
iud; here’s n sovereign lor you.” “No, sir, I 
want no rewin d for being honest, hut"—looking 
at him with a u knowing grin — “wasn’t it lucky 
none of lhe gentlemen found it ?" 
A “Peppery Yarn." — " I went to the Legis¬ 
lature last year,” said a Georgian. “Well, I 
went, to Augusta and took dinner at a tavern, 
Right beside me sat a member from one of the 
hack town* who had never taken dinner before 
at a tavern in his life. Before his plate was u 
dish Of peppers, and he kept looking at, them. 
Finally, as ine waiter was vCrj slow bringing on 
the things, he up with bis fork, and in less than 
no time soused one Into his mouth. As ho 
brought down Ids grinders the lears came into 
his eyes. At last, spitting the pepper into his 
hand, he laid it down by the side of his plate, 
and with a voice that set the whole table in an 
uproar, exclaimed, 1 Just lie there and cool?’ ”

When the birds begin to sing, 
’Till the autumn, cold and gray,

In the churchyard, sad and lone, 
Where the wind makes Ceaseless moan, 
Lives my first, and fair, I ween, 
With lta changing colors seen. 
But, within the noisy mill.

Creaking wheels and massive stones
