THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.
She may not, in the mazy donee.
With soft, bewitchinf eye;
The rose and lily on her cheek
Together lore to dwell;
Her laughing blue eyes wreathe around
The heart a witching spell;
Her smile is bright as morning's glow
Upon the dewy plain.
And listening to her voice we dream
. That spring has come again.
The timid fawn is not more wild,
Nor yet more gay and free;
The lily’s cap is not more pure,
In all its parity j—.
Of all the wild flowers in the wood,
Or by the crystal water.
There’s none more pare or fair than she—
The fanner's peerless daughter!
The haughty belle whom all adore,.
On downy pillow lies—
While forth upon the dewy lawn
The merry maiden hies}
And, with the lark’s uprising song,
Her own clear voice is heard—
Ye may not tell which sweetest sings,
. The maiden or the bird.
Then tell me not of jewelled fair—
The brightest jewel yet
Is the heart where virtue dwells
And innocence is set!
The glow of health upon her cheek—
The grace no rule hath taught her—
The fairest wreath that beauty twines.
Is for the farmer’s daughter!
THE LOST STAR
A light is gone from yonder sky,
A star has left its sphere ; ; .
The beautiful—and do they die.
In yon bright world as here 1
Will that star leave a lonely place,
A darkness on the night ?—
No; few will miss its lovely face,
And none will think heaven less bright!
What wert tbou star of !—vanished one!
What mystery was thine ?
Thy beauty from the east is gone :
What was the sway and sign 1
Wert thou the star of opening youth 1—
And is it then for thee,
Its frank glad thoughts, its stainless truth,
So early cease to be 1
Of hope—and was it to express
How soon hope sinks in shade;
Or else of human loveliness,
In sign how it will fade ?
How wastby dying—like the song,
And then for ever past!
Or didst thou sink as stars whose light
The fair moon renders vain 1
“ The rest shone forth the next dork night,
Thou didst not shine again.
Didst thou fade gradual from the time
The first great curse was hurled.
Till lost in sorrow and in crime t
Star of our early world ?
Forgotten and departed 6tar!.
A thousand glories shine
Round the blue midnight’s regal car,
Who then remembers thine !
Save when some mournful bird like me

Private Padding,
OR HOW THE HOOSIER COMB IT.
Many vears ago a Hoosier, who had
just struct New Orleans for the first time,
after his flatboat 'was made snug and
fast, went up to see the sights of the
city. Passing St. Charles he stopped
immediately in front of the St. Charles
Hotel, and, looking up, seemed to scru
tinize the building with the eye of an
architectural connoisseur.
After satisfying his gaze he asked of
passer-by what building it
being told it was a hotel, he inquired From the time they are weaned, until

On thine as pledge of love to thee.”

English Ladies—Raral Taste.
Our countryman, Mr. Colman, in his
late European Tour, gives so capital a
portrait of rural, accomplishment in a
lady of rank he hid the good fortune
to meet, that we cannoi resist the temp
tation of transferring the picture to our
canvass for the benefit of our fair read-
— “ I had no sooner entered the
house, where my visit bad been ex

' Great Excitement—A Genllcmau
Cowliided by a Lady.
- There was an excitement produced at
Woodward High school, yesterday,, that
beggars description—One of those ex
traordinary occurrences happening in
the school room, Which occur but once
in a life-time in any' place. The cir
cumstances appear to be as follows:
"A Professor in the Woodward High

with this answer, the Hoosier, after children should be indulged in the free

and rummaged over the papers. Time | r00fa13 a uselul appendage to a house,

Recovering from his astonishment at oa *y water. One pint ofhqutd toa per-
the noise of the gong, and scenting the son a da y* ,a suffictent'for health $ and
delicious fumes ofthedinner, the Hoosier lhal should neither be hot nor very cold,
made a rush through the crowd for a aad shoal(J be laken « some interval
seat, but being met by the host he was afier eating,
conducted to his allotted chair. The * rom on ® lo ®n e P ound and a hah of j
gentleman seated opposite and those on ®°hd food, is sufficient for a person
each side of him, hud their wine before
them.
After finishing his soup, and having
his plate well filled, the Hoosier ob
served ihegenljemen helping themseves
freely to wine, and, so seizing the bottle
of his right-hand neighbor, he attempted
to help himself, when he was modestly
informed that the.wine was “private.”
The Hoosier did not seem to compre
hend, and with a blank sort of look, re
sumed his knife and fork. On laying
them down again, and having appar
ently come to the conclusion that it
could not all be “ private” wine, he siez-
ed hold ot his left-hand friend’s bottle.
“ Slop, if you please, sir,” said the of
fended individual with a fierce look,
lhat is private wine, sir.” The Hoosi-
r looked still more astonished, and
Gliding it a hard case, thought he would
make another trial any how. So reach
ing across the table, he seized the bottle
opposite to him, and was just in the act
of filling his glass, when his vis-a-vis
re-echoed “private wine, sir, if you
please,” and withdrew the bottle from
the fearful leakage it was about to
dergo.
The “ green *un,” becoming enraged
at being foiled on ever side, and ob
serving that there was a general simper*
ing and tittering among, the waiters,
turned on the servant who stood at the
back of bis chair, and who had taken
away his plate for the fifth or sixth time,
and cried out to him with an oath to
bring back his plate, and lhal if he took
it away again, “he’d be dod rod if he
did’nt draw his picker on him,” and,
suiting the action to the word, put his
hand into his bosom,'showing the han
dle of a huge bowie-knife.
After this, things went on quietly, till
the desert was put bn the table, when a
large Charlotte Russe pudding was set
right before the Hoosier. This he irome-
diately drew near his plate, and looking
right'and left at his neighbors, be help
ed himself to a large portion of it.—
Keeping his eyes fixed bn the dish while
eating.he perceived his right-hand neigh
bor attempting to withdraw the dish
from. him. ‘t No you don’t,. Mister,”
said the Hoosier to him, “ that thar pud-

A few yeas ago he concluded to give
up the dairy business, in consequence
ot the low price of butter and cheese ;
sold his cows at a low figure, and pur
chased sheep at a high rate, for wool
then demanded a high price. By the
time he got fairly into the raising
wool, down went the price of wool and
up went the price of butter anil cheese.

The temperature of a room warmed
by an open .ire-place is sufficiently higl
for health and comfort at 70 degree
Fah.; but in a room warmed by,

Air-tight stoves are not good for health

gancies and refinements of luxury ; in
the midst of titles, and dignitaries and

was the object which transcended and
eclipsed them all, and showed how much

nobility of rank, the beauty of refined
and simple manners, all the adornments
of art; the scintillations of the soul,
bearhing from the eyes, the purest gems
that ever glittered in a princely diadem.

became substantial and the beau ideal
of my youthful imagination was realiz
ed.
“ In the morning I first met her at
prayers ; for, to the honor of England,
there is scarcely a family, among the
hundreds whose hospitality I have shar
ed, where the duties of the day are nni
preceded by family worship; the mas
ter and the servant, the parent and the
child, the teacher and the taught, the
friend arid the stranger, come together
to recognize and strengthen the sense of
their common equality, in the presence
of their common Father, and Id; ac
knowledge their equal dependence upon
his care and mercy. She was then kind
enough to tell me after her morning’s ar
rangements, she claimed me for the day.
She first showed me her children, whom,
like the Roman mother, she deemed her
brightest jewels, and arranged their
studies-and occupations for the day.—
She then took me two or three miles on
foot, to visit a sick neighbor and, -while
performing this act of kindness left me
to visit some of the cottages upon the
estate, whose inmates I found loud in
the praise of her kindness and benefac
tions. Our next excursion was to see
snmeofihe most aged trees in the park,
the size of which was truly magnificent;
and I sympathized in the veneration
which she expressed for them, which
was like that with which one recalls the
illustrious memory of a remote progeni
tor. Our next visit was to the green
houses and gardens; and sheexpla :
to me the mode adopted there, of n
aging the most delicate, plants, and of
cultivating, in the most economical and
successful manner, the fruits of a warm
er region. From the garden we pro
ceeded to the cultivated fields ; and she
informed mo of the system of husbandry
pursued on the estate, the rotati on of
crops, the management and applicatio n
of manures, the amount of seed sown,
the. ordinary 3’ield arid the aporopria-
tion of the products, with a perspicuous
detail of the expenses and results.’ She
then undertook to show me the yards
and offices, the barns, the feeding stalls,
the plans for saving,. increasing and
managing the manure*; the cattle^ lor
breediug, the milking slock, the piggery,
.the poultry yard, the stables, the har
ness-rooms, the implement-rooms; the
dairy. She explained to me the pro
cess of making the different kinds of
cheese,.and the general management of
the milk, and the mode of feeding the
stopk; and then, conducting me into
the bailiff’s house, she exhibited to me
a Farm Journal, and’the whole syste
matic model of keeping the accounts
and making the returns, with which
she seemed as famiKar as if lljcy were
the accounts of/her own wardrobe.—
This did not finish our.grand tour; tor
on rhy. return, she admitted me into her
boudoir, and showed me the secrets of
her own admirable house-wifery, in.the
exact-account's* which she kept of every
thing connected with the dairy, the mar
ket, ^the table, and the drawing-room
and the' servant’s, hall. All this was
done with a simplicity- and, frankness,
which showed an absence of all con-
tcipusnesA of an extraordinary’ merit

His partner, Mr. Smith, however, ac

Mrs. Tuxford approached the said

that he knew nothing of what was to be

did right in protecting the lady. The

Woodward College is said to have ex

knowledge of the oldest inhabitants.—
Mrs. Tuxford is an estimable lady, and
we applaud her spunk. After she had
chastised the fellow, she indignantly
threw the cowhide at Jus feet, saying:
“Take that home as a trophy, and say
to your friends, that an injured lady,
after using it on your back, head and
face, made it a present to you.” Such a

The oldest Mau In America.
George Buckhart, living in Harlem
county,Kentucky, is one of the most ex-
traordinarv men of the age, and perhaps:
is the oldest man now knowu to be liv
ing. He is one hundred and fourteen
years old ; was born in Germantown,
Pennsylvania, and has lived for several
years in a hollow S3 , camore tree, of
such dimensions as to contain his fami
ly, consisting of a Wife and five or six
children, bed and bedding, cooking
utensils, See. The exploring agent of
the American Bible .S«»oieiy, in his trav
els in Kentucky, recently found him,
and also saw respectable gentlemen
who had spent one or more nights
with him in this singular home. He
professes to hold the Lutheran faith, be
ing of a German family, and received
the Bible with peculiar manifestations
of gratitude. What a life for One man
to spend ? What a long train of events
has marked the century through which
he has drawn the thread of existcuce!—

A correspondent of tlie New York
Tribune furnishes the following inci
dent of the wreck of the steamer Era-
pirc: •
“ After the Empire was struck, and
while sinking, two mothers snatched
what they supposed to he their own
infants, and rushed upon deck, and in
their fright, threw themselves in the
water. One of the devoted parents
field her child lo her bosom, and both
were saved; while the other sustained
hers until it breathed i(s last, yet still
holding on to the^body until she was re
scued. The surprise of the mothers
may be .imagined when they discover
ed that in the confusion attending their
escape they had eaefi taken the other’s
child.' And while the poor woman who
had' supposed that her little one was
lost pressed to her bosotn her o.wn babe,
the other was frantic with grief to find
ioo late that she had preserved another’s
child and lost, her own.” /
