The Cottage in the Glen. 
BY SYLVANUS. 
L little cottage lieth, 
Embowered in the glen, 
Secluded from the bustle 
And crowded haunts of men. 
A mountain riseth o’er it, 
A rill flows by the door, 
An oak tree stands before it— 
Beside the cottage door. 
Upon its walls are creeping, 
Fresh vines of living green. 
While from their dark leaves peeping 
Bright golden flowers are seen. 
And many birds are singing, 
Upon the old oak tree, 
And lightly they are winging 
Their courses o’er the lea. 
A group of merry children 
With cheeks of ruddy hue, 
Are sporting by the streamlet 
So beautiful to view. 
Around the cottage spreading, 
On every hill and vale, 
The golden grain is bending, 
Before the rising gale. 
The cot, the hill, the river, 
The oak tree by the door, 
The many birds that revel 
The collage front before, 
Seem like some fairy picture 
Engraven on the eye, 
The pencilling? of fancy, 
Which vapor-like will fly. 
But no! to fairy regions, 
5 Tis vain for us to go, 
To find more glowing pictures 
Than industry can show. 
For beauty ever throwelh 
O’er rustic life a charm ; _ 
Here peace will hover smiling, 
Secure from strife’s alarm. 
Where’er the farmer dwelleth, 
Neath thatch or lordly dome, 
There peace, and joy, and beauty. 
Will ever find a home. 
Then let us crown with honor 
The hardy sons of toil; 
May Heaven bless with plenty 
The tillers of the soil!

Farm and Stock for Sale. 
r PJIE subscriber will sell at auction, on the 10th of September next, 
(if not previously disposed of at private sale,) his farm, situated 
ir. Westminster, Vt., containing upwards of 200 acres, nearly 100 
aeres of which is alluvial land of the most productive kind, lying on 
the bank of the Connecticut river. He will also sell at the same 
time, the live-stock of said farm, consisting of about sixty head of 
superior neat cattle, mostly Devons, thirty South Down sheep, and 
fifty swine of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex breeds. 
Among the Devon cattle, are one very fine bull, two years old, 
imported from England ; another, seven years old, purchased of Geo. 
Patterson, Esq., of Maryland; another, one year old, bred on the 
farm. Several of the cows are pure Devons of the very best blood 
and quality, and the whole lot were either selected, or bred by the 
subscriber with great care. Of the South Down Sheep, six were 
imported—others were purchased of Hon. Daniel Webster and Col. 
J. M. Sherwood; and these, with their descendants, constitute the 
flock. The older swine were mostly imported, and comprise the 
best specimens of their respective breeds which could be obtained 
in England. Their stock has now become well known in this part 
of Ihe country, and is so much esteemed as to need no praise here.

Wire tor Fences, 
A LSO Staples ready made, by the pound, at price of wire and 4 
A cents per hundred staples for making, (machine made.) 
Our Wire is of the best quality of iron, used by our Telegraph 
Companies, &c., which needs no annealing whatever, in being 
worked. 
It is a fact acknowledged by all wire manufacturers, that the pro¬ 
cess of annealing iron wire opens its pores to the effect of the at¬ 
mosphere, lessens its weight 12 to 15 per cent., lessens its tenacity 
for tension 33 per cent., and destroys its elasticity. Fence makers 
will find it much cheaper to use tough, bright wire, in all cases, even 
at one to three cents per pound extra, than the cheaper qualities of 
iron at their value, which require annealing to be used. 
Nos. 7, 8 and 9, for 5£ cents ; Nos. 10 and 11, for 6 cts per lb-
