THE POOR MAN'S DEATH BED AND BURIAL
BY THE MILFORD BARD,
1 saw him stretched upon his bed,
With languid lip lu:ro_\'o §
No tears for him had yet been shed,
Though he was doomed to die ;
No friends had he, alas ! no wifo
To weep around him now ;
Almost he was alone in life—
Despair was on lis brow,
One morn 1 songht his bed, and Oh'!
A touching scone was there ;
A scene that filled my heart with woe,
A scone of dark despair ;
A little girl, his only child,
Stood gnzing in his eye ;
ON erving out in accents wild—
“Doar father, will you dief”
The dying father turned his head,
To gaze upon her charms ;
A tear npon her choek he shed,
And clasp’d her in his arms ;
And strove to speak in tender tone,
And while in grief she ened
“Dear father, leave me not alone !
e (Ml:.&-—and wopt—and died.
To Potter’s Field I saw him borne,
To lie beneath the sod:
There was but one for him to mourn,
And three to break the clod
No funeral pomp, no funeral prayer,
No funera! emblems wave ;
One Nlitde girl alone stood there,
And wept upon his grave,
Had he possessed of gold a store,
He inight have been a knave ;
Yet hundreds would have found his door,
And followed o his grave,
And thus it is, and was of old—
Disguise it as you can,-
The man has made a god of gold,
And money makes the wan,
Miscellany.
(From the American Agricnlturalist,)
YANKREE FARMING.
The Nine- Acre Meadme.~=lt was the first
week in July, and the ruddy dawn was just be
ginoing to stresk the lLight clouds that lay
floating in the eastern horizon, when Mr. Doo
litle and his son Willinm, each bringing a
scythe, let down the two middie bars of a set
of five, which mouuted guard over one of his
meadows ; then thrusting themselves through
the opening, they stood bolt upright amidst
the tall grass, waving before a gentle western
breeze, ready ripe for the harvest. 'l'his
meadow had beeu in grass (rom time immemns
orial, and was the pride of my good neighbor's
beart. It embaced about nive acres, and
was most admirably cared for in a manner
which 1 may speak of hereafter, Suffice it to
say for the prescat, thatits average yiell was
from two to two and a Lali' tons per acre, which
when people wanted to get on what they terin
ed the *soft side’ of Uncle Sim, they modesily
gtretched 1t to three tons.
The Mowing Bee.~l ponthe principle that
‘many hands make light work," Uucle Sim al
ways got up a ‘mowiug bee' when he cut this
meadow, by inviting some halt dozen or more
of his neighbors to assist him. No oue had
yet made his appearance : so by way of prep
aration, and to try his scythe, Mr. Dooliule
put in and cut down a few rods of the corner
of the meadow ; then pausing, set the upper
end of the snath on the ground, took a hund
ful of grass, wiped the blade clean, then with
a long, flat scythe stone, which hung in his
Jeathern girdle, proceeded leisurely to whet
ofl the wire edge. This nearly finished, he
began an advisory discourse to his son.
Unele Sim teaches William how to Mow .=
‘Now, Billy, my boy, though I sez it, wyselr,
*taint *old foxes like me that wants tutors ;'—
howsumdever, *him as thinks he knowes most
sometimes knows least; so of all living things
beware of consate; consate swallows a mian
up afore he knows it, like a snake does ufiog ;
then there's nothin® on him left, 'cept a big
bunch in s belly. Wal, as I was saying’,
tho' I sez it myself, uobody can larn you bet
ter about mowin’ than I, Simeon Doolittle;
and as you was seventeen year old last April,
and have now got to be ¢’en a'most us big as
your daddy, its pow time for you to be a mun
and take your lead in the gung amongst the
best on 'em. I've gin two-shillin'extrato get
you a first-rate scythe, which is a good deal of
money ye must know, these hard times ; but
Simeon Doolittle dunt mind that for one of
his own flesh und blood. Folks can say what
they like about him ; all is, lie b'lieves in one
thing, give a boy gool tools, and shiow him
how to use 'emm. When that's done,” he ad
ded, iowering his voice confidentially, and
pausing a moment in his scythe sharpening,
while he touched the tip of his nose with the
end of his whetstone,—'show him how to keep
‘em in order. Heh, Billy? Wal, my boy,
this aint likely ye can ollers do to-day ; so if
things don't go right, say nothing’, but come
to me kind o' careless; for you know ‘it's a
bal workman that quarrels with his tools,” and
I'll give yourscythe a rub myself; then il it
don’t shave the bair off the grass as easy as a
pig’s bristies come off arter scaldin’, I'l) say
there's no gumption in whetstones at mowin’
time. And, Billy, my boy, I say agin, mind
what I telled ye so often last summer, when
ye firstbegunmowin. Stand upto your work
like a man, as if ye wan’t afraid on't; and
don't go stoopin down like as if you was pre
detarmined to break yourback ; nor poke your
head and arms out like a crane lookin’ for pol
lywogs in the mud, tinn' yourself e’en a’most
to death afore half a day’s work isdone. No,
eir, my boy; this is the way to do it smooth
and easy. Stand up straight, and as ye pint
in with the scythe, bend your krees a Jittle,
and as the blade comes round, move the right
foot gradually for'ard, roliin’ your body in the
hip sockets like a well greased hinge; now
slightly bend your back, and as you are pint
in' out, bring up the left foot, and so go on;
aud that'sthe hull secret o’easy mowin.' I've
swung the scythe from day-break to dusk, all
day long, week in and week ont, doin’ nothin’
else ; and followin’ my own abvice, it never
tired Simeon Doolittle yet.'
Assembling of the neighboring Mowers and
remarks thereupon.—*lf thera ain't Major
Goodell, now just comin’ over the hill—if |
could drive oxen as well as him. Wal, he
can't out-beat me in mowin', so there's some
comfort in that idee. Ho keeps up an even
swarth, but then it aint so wide as mine by
"leven inches. Howsumdever,as I was sayin,
a little pot never held so much as a hig kettle,
so don't think, Dilly, that I'm a blamin’ on
him ; he's as much as any other man o' his
inches, and more too in drummin.' I{there
ain’t Jemes Joues, nephew of the Squire.—
‘What a spry feller he is ; just leaped that'ere
brook e’en a'most a rod wide at a single jump.
He's ollous talkin’ chimics, geologics, rota
tion o’ crops, and science o' breedin.’ Wal,
there’s nothing’ agin his mowin®, tho' 1 wish
he warn't quite so book larned ; he and the
Sargeant 1s forever arguin' together about
somethin’ nodody knows nothin' about, ‘cept
themselves.
“Hello," says Uncle Sim, as I leaped the
bars behind his back, and hearing my name
mentioned I took the liberty of smaridy slap
piug him on the shoulder, “you Lere? Wal
Iwere jest saying',"—Never mind what you
were saying; for like yoursell I can now and
then quote a proverb; ‘listeners you know
never hear any good of themselves.,' “But
it wasu't that, Sargeant.” No, said I, you are
Do backbiter; so go on, and let us have the
rest o' your remaiks, “Wal, as | was sayin',
beggin' pardon o yonr presence, that vou
and Jemes Jones, who I'm glad s here
Bow, are amazin’ spry, and smart mowers, if
you warn't quite so Lool )" Ohi, as to that
matter, said I, there's Joe Watkius, moving
ld‘l.lly Nlolll the 10ad here, who Can scarce
vead ac wil, 90 you may have him 1o balance
the account—="Yes, Lieis a lazy fellow 1o walk
and not very bright i the upper story, nother
that's sartin ; but some how or other, Syur
eant, you nor nobody else mows round him
gvight or cloudy. It is marvelous what a sim
ple eritter bie is: and yet, il any body ever cut
o close 1o wy Leels for comfort, it is that
‘ere same dummy, Joe Watkins. 1 there
ain't Captain Truck, and that ‘ere great g
nigger Cesar, he broughtall the way from old
Virginuy with him, cause he's sich a good
cook and sailor. He'd a better took him to
Airiea to settle, 1 guess. Wal, he beats all
our folks cradlin, that's a fact; and I'll ac
koowledge when we mowed together afore, his
swatlhi was an inch and a quarter wider than
mine; but theo, he lops 10 and doesn't pint
out elean, which is small loss in a hay erop,
and makes the meadow look kindervagged ar
ter its raked ever. As for the Capting, 1 nuv
er see him swing a scythe inmy li'e 5 but if
he mows equal to that ere big gobbler he scld
me last winter, then he'll be the first man
that ever out-mowed me. T'hat litle Tom
Turkey, Sargeant, is a little the greatest fel
ler I ever had in my yurd; and sich lots of
chickens as we've got! But here's seven of
us now, besides Bill; and as the sun will soon
be up, and 1 kuow by them yaller streaky
clouds in the east, it's goin to be firery hot,
we'd better set in: so who says for finishin’
thie nine acre lotof Simeon Doolittle's by din
ner time ! ut afore we begin, men, jest hear
‘me. 1" not one o' them that wants his
srass cut so very short as some does. I's an
old sayin', | know, *that anineh at the bottom
s worthitwo atthe top,” Wal, now, accordin’
to my notion, that depends on cireumstances.
"Pis all very well when the grass isn’t yetripe,
but I don'’t believe in cutting uuripe grass. 1
ollous wait till it begins to shed its flowers,
and it is not only done growiu', but the bot
tom o* the grass has got kinder hard. T'hat’s
the best time for entting’, accordiu’ tomy ex
perience and my father afore me; and then
an inchat the top is worth two times two at the
bottom. Cut the grass even—lleave the dry
part to shade the ground, to rot, and to ma
nure the erop another year, that's the way to
suit me."
" We Commence Operations.—=As thisappear
ed sound doctrine to the rest of us, and no
one having any thing to say against it, Uncle
Sin: commenced at once with a stroke that
showed he wus no boaster, while one after a
nother all rapidly followed his lead, Bill bring
ing up the rear in a style worthy of his gitted
sire and instructor. Nothing in particular
occurred till six o'clock, when Aunt Nabby
blew the horn for breakfast. This over, away
we went to work again, all hanging back a
little when Bill lead in order to favor him;
but when Uncle Sim, or the strong armed Ce
sar headed the gang, we made the grass all
smoke again,
The Morning Lunch.—~The day had not
belied Unele Nim's prediction, for, by ten
a'clock, it proved excessively hot. This, with
the rapid rate at which we worked, began to
tell on our exhausted frames ; when vight glad
were we to espy the gentle Molly-=her face
waoll shaded by a large sun bounet—tripping
down the meadow, bearing on either arm a
good sized basket, which she deposited atthe
foot of a large old oak, that threw its wide
thick branches for many a yard around, form
ing a gratefulshade nnder which to repose and
take our lunch.
‘Come, neighbors,' said uncle Sim,throwing
down his scythe, ** *an empty bag don't stand
up straight,’ no more does an empty stomach.
We've put the best part o' the grass now where
it'll soon make hay, o turn to, and let us take
a bite to freshen up agin.”
We did not wait for asecond summons; but
instantly followed Mr. Doolittle’sexample, and
‘was soon seated under the old oak. 'l'be
lunch consisted of sweetened dough-nuts and
cheese, bread and butter, and thin slices of
cold ham, all nicely cooked and prepared by
Aunt Nabby herselfy 1 a manuer that few
could equal and none could excel. Thedrinks
were various and such as we had beewindulg
ing wn all the morning ; for we had found it
tharsty work, and the perspiration flowed out
ol us like water.
’ Uncle Sim took a long sip from a large
square black case bottle, and as he sut it down,
smacked his lips, and gave an approving wink
to Captain Truck, declaring *‘there was noth
in' live "lasses and water, stirred up with jest
enough eider brandy of his owu partickerler
distillin® to cool the throat, and make an old
felter like hiim, feel kinder spry when it touch
ed the bottom o' his stomach.” T'o this
Captain Truck gave an assenting nod; but
tasting from a stout, brown, earthen mug, into |
which he had most assiduously been pouring
various liquids, *he was of opinion, as he had
<o often Liad his fill of molasses in the West !
India trade that pat of Unele Sim's mixture
was all the better tor being boi'ed over into
good old New England. With plenty of this ‘
o geease his log, he could give any man on
the ground a knot the start headway in mow- *
ing, and run him hull down afere meridian.”
Major Goodell “considere ] nothin' rightened
him up like sweetened milk and water, spiced
with a spoon ul of ginger to keep him from °
getting griped with the cholic. Cesar waiced
till the Captain had got through, and thenve
ceived from his hand a second edition of the
brown mug mixture, which he gulped down
with undisguised satisfaction,*declaring that
“Massa Captin® warn't no possom, no how, and
could go in with a fit a Teetle better than raal
old Virgiony.” Joe Watkins refused Uncle
Sim's black bottle, and to his repcated invita
tions to “help himself—take somethin' good
‘now that'll make vestrong," he briefly replied
’ “ginee signin' the temperance pledge, it was
good enongh for him to drink with the Sar
geant.' Hethen came overte ourside, where
Molly had taken good care to place Bl
Lach one of our party now took a large Japan
tumbler, which he filled from a three gallon
‘stone jug of fresh cold water, sweetening with
brown sugar to his liking and then adding a -
\ltle sharp vinegar. This, Mr. Jones and my
! self, fromseveral years experience, recommen
ded as the next best thing, after lemonade, we
had ever tried to quench a burning thirst,
‘ lifteen minutes having been devoted to the
lunch, up we ail jumped, with renewed vigor.
delying the increasing heat, and away we went
at the grass again. At noon, precisely, Aunt
| Nabby appeared on the verandah, in front of
the old house, and blew the horn for dinner ;
lbutlhoro still being a small patch to cut, a
' simultaneus shout arose from all save Uncle
| Sim and Bill, of **let us finish the meadow be
foreeating again.” No objections being male,
L our scythes swung in the air like the rapid
lllaulniug of swords from the scabbards of a
troop of cavalry, and in less than another half
| hour the nine-acre task was finished.
The Dinner.~This was capital, consisting
of the nicest bread, both brown and white ;
baked pork and beans; fried hamn and eggs;
fresh roast beet and boiled inutton ; with houn
tiful dishes of new potatoes, green peas, squash
and beets, topped off with a delicious minute
pudding.
Aunt Nabby and Molly waited upnon the ta
ble, anticipated all our wants, and seemed
highly gratified at the rapid disappearance of
their well cooked dishes. In discussing a
moung us what was the best meat for hard
working men, the Captain weut in pretty
strongly for the roast beel and boiled mutton,
pretty bluntly adding that fried eggs ware
very good, but as for the salt ham thataccom
panied them, the day and the work were al
ready thirsty enough without eating that to in
crease it and as for fat pork, it was not fit
for Jew or Chiristian in bot weather, nor cold
either, as to that matter, if a man could get
any thing else. In this opinion however, Lis
humble follower, Cesar, did not seem to coin
cide § for sitting by himself at a side table, he
had not only made a marvellous inroad into a
consideruble pot of baked beans—that he
seemed greatly to relish, ewimming as they
did in (at==but had also shaved slice afterslice
from a bountitul pork piece, which, since the
Captain's remark, fearing he might lose en
trcly, he transterred bodily to his plate, and
soon made way with in eubic-inch chunks, to
Il[w great wonderment of our obstreperous
slip master.
" The Nooning.~=Dioner over, Uncle Sim
coneluded, thot us the grass lay so thick up n
the ground it would bea good hour and a hall
yot before dry enough for raking, we might
therefore spend the time in a nooning.' *So
each proceeded to accomodate himsell for a
nap according to his own fancy. The Cap
tain hauled down from the beam over head a
horse blanket, and taking a eoil of rope for »
villow, stretehed himself at full length in the
verandali, Uncle Sim, after profiering abuf
alo robe to us all ronnd, which was declined,
took an old saddle for his head piece, and
joined the Captain. T'he Major interlocked
the fingers of his two hands over his breast,
and sitting down with his back and head bolt
upright, near Mr. Doolittle, was almost in
stantly fast asleep. Joe couched upon the
bare floor, and laid his arm across his hat with
his head on the top of that; while Cesar bare
headed, stretehed himself on the ground, tlat
on his back, right in the face of the scorching
sun. Uncle Sim regmded the black for a
moment, with his cocked eve askant, then
dryly remarked, *Wal, Mister coal Tar, it's
all very well your head ain't tallar’ to-day, or
it would soon be meltin, hot," and joined in a
conzert of snoring with the Captain.
As for Mr. Jones, Bill, and myself, we ad
jonrned to the shade of the old vak, took up
suflicient Lalf wilted grass to make each a
good bed. on which we couched, and set our
selves to studying glimpses of the clear blue
shy, which we caught opening now and then
between the slight rustiing of the thick-cano
pied leaves,
’ Ye gods, what a bed! And is there any
thing equal to it 7 The hot sun and the fa
tigne which makes rest so delicious ; the
quenched thirst ; the satisfied appetite ; the
fragrant hiay, with its elastic yielding to the
slightest pressure of the body; the grateful
shade, and balmy air—all tend to make it de
lightful. Other oceupations may have supe
rior enjoyments, bat if so, I know them not,
nor do I desire to. Give me those of the in
dustrions, intelligent and independent farmer,
the world may have all else of which it cun
boast. SeruranT TELLTRUE.
HygNA.=Dr. Sparman tells a curious story
of a hyena, which was told him at the Cape
of Good Haope. One night the soldiers had
a feast near the Cape, when one of them
drank so much that he could not stand up.
His companions not wanting him in the room
with them, carried him out of doors and laid
him down by the side of the house, to get
cool and sober. The trumpeter laid there,
and went to sleep, when a hyeoa came along,
and thinking him dead, began to carry him
away, so as to make a meal of him withot be
ing disturbed. It was some time before he
awoke, so as to know the danger of his situa
tion. When he did so, he found himself on
the back of the hyena, who was making off
towards the mountain with him as fast as pos
sible. Deing horror-struck at finding himse'(l
in the power of the ferocius beast, his fear
brought him to his senses, and seizing his
trumpet which hang about hisneck, he sound
ed an alarm. T'he beast thinking he had on
ly a dead man, was as much frightened at the
sound of the trumpet, as the man was at his
situation, so that dropping his prey, they
scampered away from cach other as faat as
possible. It is not probable that any other
man but a trumpeter would have escaped so
easily. !
' Isvrnvence or Kisosess on THE Horsr,
The Turkish horse is a mixed offspring from
the Arabian and the Persian breeds, and (rom
"some kindred varieties. It is as gentle and
Ctractable as the Arabian but neither so fleet
{ nor so vigorous. Buscequies, who went as
ambassador to Constantinople in the seven
“teenth century says, *“l'here is no creature so
~gentle as a Turkish horse, nor more ilespect
tul to his master, or the groom chat dresses
him. The reasoun is, because they treat their
horses with great lenity. ‘T'he countrymen in
Pontus stroke them, bring them into their
houses, and almost to their tables, and use
them even like children ; and the grooms (re
quently sleek them down with their hands,
aud pever use a cudgel to bang their sides
Lut in cases of nccessity, This makes their
horses great lovers of mankind; and they are
80 far from kicking, wincing, or growing un
tractable by this gentle usage, that you will
hardly find an ill-tempered horse amongst
them.” T'he Turkish horse takes rank with
the Arabian and the Barb as a contributor to
the improvement of the Knglish horse.
Tue Wonrp “Senau.”"—The translators of
the bible have left the Hebrew word Selah,
which ccecurs so often in the Psalms, as they
found it, and of course the English reader of
ten asks his minister, or somme learned friend,
what it mneans. And the mmister, or learued
friend, has often been obliged to confess igno
rance because it is a matter of regard to which |
the most learned have by no means been of
one mind. The Targums and most of the
Jewish commentators give to the word the
meaning eternally, for cver. Rabbi Kimchi
regards it as a sign to elevate the voice. The
authors of the Septuagint translation appear
to have regarded it as a musical uote, equiva
lent, perhaps, to the word repeat. According
to Liuther and others, it meaus silence! Ge
senius explains it to mean, *Let the instru
ments play and the singers stop.” Wocher
regards it as equivalent to sursum corda—up,
my soul! Summer, after examining all the
seventy-four passages in which the word oc
curs, recognizes in every case ‘‘an actual ap
peal or summons to Jehovah. They are calls
for aid and prayers to be heard, expressed
either with entire directness, or if not in the
imperative, ‘llear Jehovah! or awake Jeho
vah!" and the like, still earnest addresses to
God that he would remember and hear, &c.”
The word it sell he regards as indicating a
blast of trumpets by the priests. Selah itself
he thinks an abridged expression used for
Higgoion Seloh: Higgaion indicating the
gound of the stringed instruments, and Selah
a vigorous blast of ttumpets.—[ Bibliotheca

GREATEST ASCERTAINED DEPTH OF THE
OceAN.~On the 2d of June, when in latitude
15 degrees 3 minutes south, and longitude 26
degrees 4 minutes west, being nearly calm
aud the water quite smooth, (says Sir James
C. Ross.) we tried for, but did not obtain

EXTRACT, .
Tho above was n fair trial, and was tons a convineing
proof of the superiority of the Salamander Safe over all oth

for a period of eight hours, while each of the others were
destroyed by the same heat in less than two hours, We
have no hesitation in saying, that we consider Wilder's
Salamande; Bate reaily fire-proof, and atlording perfect se
eurity to beoks and papers in ease of fire. We therefore
take much pleasure in making this statement to the publie,

| CHICKERING'S PIANO FORTES,
-, THE following isan extract from the re
) f-ry,,;{-,;(‘ port of the committee on musical instru-
Y a 5 mentsatthe fourth exhibiton of the Massa -
chusetts Charitable Mechanic Associntion,
held at Quiney Hall, in the city of Boston, Sept, 17, 1844
“There is one manufacurer, however, whose instrianents
take precedence of all others, with so unguestiounble a pre
eminence, that the committee felt not the slightest Liesita
tion in recommending the award to him of a gold medal 3
and this they did on two grounds, not only for the dm-idm‘
superiority of his saquare Punos, but for the uncommon
merit of his grand Pianos, which it is no exaggeration to
say may be fearlessly placed in competition with the best
that Evrope can produce, Mr. Chickering’s Pianos of both
kinds are of so delightful a tone, so delicate oction, and so
firm and enduring construction, that they need no wmedals
to give them celebrity ; and it might scem superfluous to
ive encourngement to one who has alrendy received the
fiighest commendations, But the coramittee were appoint
od not simply to give encourngement to any persons, hut to
decide according to their ability upon the relative runk of
the instruments presented to them, and it would be noth
ing short of glaring injustice to lny aside the claims of the
instruments acknowledged tobe the best, because the mak
er of them had always produced the best. S 0 much the
more does he deserve the highest reward for his sk ill, en
terprise and industry, especially when he is seen to go on
diligently and steadily in the course of improvement, and
his competitors find, as they arrive at one point where he
has long stood before them, that he has reached another yet,
and that without much wore than common speed, they
cannot overtake one who unites with all their ambsion, a
gc-a.-e\'emm'u which may be equalled but not surpassed.
Ir. Chickering’s manufactare is all honor to the communi
ty, in the opiion of the committee, and they would cmit
no proper opportunity of hearing testimony to an excellence
which make: thew feel more proud of their city,”
