THE FARMER’S SONG. 
I envy not the mighty king 
Upon the splendid throne— 
Nor crave his glittering diadem, 
Nor wish his power mine own: 
For though his wealth and power be great, 
And round him thousands bow 
In reverence—in my low estate 
More solid peace I know. 
I envy not the miser—he 
May tell his treasure o’er, 
May heaps on heaps around him see, 
And toil and sigh for more; 
I’d scorn his narrow sordid soul, 
Rapacious and unjust; 
Nor bow beneath the base co. trol 
Of empty gilded dust. 
Let warriors mount fame’s giddy height, 
Gain glory’s gallant mead— 
Be calm, collected in the fight, 
Where thousands round him bleed; 
I envy not their victor wreath, 
Their courage nor tiieir fame; 
Their laurels are a fleeting breath, 
Their glory but a name.

HYDRAULIC RAMS. 
A COMPLETE assortment of these useful machines constantly 
on hand at the Albany Agricultural Warehouse, where one in 
constant operation may be seen. II. L. EMERY. 
See the following Certificate. 
I have used the Improved Hydraulic Ram since the latter part of 
October, 1847, and can recommend the same to all who may wish 
to be supplied with running water in a permanent and durable 
manner. The distance from my spring to my house is 56 rods; the 
elevation about 70 feet; the fall from the spring tothe ram is 6 feet. 
I have more than enough water from a half-inch pipe to supply my 
house, and to water 50 head of cattle, and would not be deprived 
of the same for double what it cost. Clark Lewis, 2d.
