FEW THOUGHTS UPON RURAL MATTER!.

" 11l fares the land, to bast'ning ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath has made them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
A time there was ere England's grief began,
When every rood of ground maintained its man ;
For him light labour spread her wholesome store,
Just gave what life required, hut gave no more:
His best companions innocence and health;
And his best ricnes ignorance of wealth.
. But times are altered ; trades' unfeeling train
Usurp the land, and dispossess the swain ;
Along the lawn, where scattered hamlets rose,
Unwieldy wealth, and cumbrous pomp repose;
And every want to luxury allied,
And every pang that folly pays to pride.
Those gentler hours that plenty bade to bloom,
Those calm desires that ask but lit tie room,
. . _

Those hea!thful sports that graced the peaceful scene,
Lived in each look and brightened all the green;
These far departing, seek a kinder shore,
And rural mirth and manners are no more."

Thus wrote the poet, Goldsmith, eighty years ago. At
that date, wealth, and the pursuit of wealth, were chang-
ing the character of our rural scenery and population.
But it was then "the lawn" which " dispossessed the
swain." Common rights were being extinguished.
Successful traders were introducing the luxuries and the
vices of cities into the villages and hamlets of rural
England; and the sports and gossip, which had been
wont to he held upon " the village green." were being
abandoned, perforce, for the dissipation of the tavern ; or
their sites were being encroached upon by the builder,
or the rich proprietor—the man of yesterday. But if a
poet like Goldsmith, full of the homely feeling, and sus-
ceptibility of nature, which must have been the charac-
teristirs of the author of " The Deserted Village," had
lived and written in the present day, what must he have
said of rural England ! The change in the habits of our
agricultural population in Goldsmith's time was not
caused by the deliberate policy of a legislature, bent upon
depressing the social and industrial condition of the
masses engaged in the cultivation of the soil. Compared
with what has since taken place, we may almost treat the
poet's complaint as an effusion of sickly sentimentality.
Where the sports of village greens still exist in the pre-
sent day, even in the most sequestered spots of England,
they are of a character not at all attractive to modern
tastes. or calculated to develope healthful sensibilities in
those enraged in them. And although erthusiasts,
of the Tractarian school, may regret the loss of
the May pole, and its attendant tomfoolories, sensible
men, we conceive, will be of another way of thinking.
But Goldsmith's lament is anything but sickly sentimen-
talitv, if applied to the state of the agricultural districts
of England in the present day. It is anything but senti-
mentality, if applied to the conversion of our men into
mere machines, or rather satellites of machines. There
is no question now of the fact that " wealth accumulates
and men decay ;" and it is a fact, over which England,
before many years pass by, will have to shed many, many
bitter tears.

What is the condition of the rural population of Eng-
land at. the present moment ? We have gone on increas-
ing in wealth since Goldsmith's time. That is an unde-
niable fart. Yet, apart from all questions of a political
nature, that population has unquestionably retrograded
in worth. The materials for a rural Arcadia are now
utterly wanting. We have no more Roger de Coverleys ;
and hut few of our rustic swains to whom such a monarch
of the parish could cry out, at church, "out of tune, Tom
Baler," without exciting a titter of laughter. or a shudder,
amongst the congregation. By no means do we deside-
rate the recurrence amongst us of the precise piece of
irreverence recorded of the worthy baronet " of the olden
time; but, the temper of that time we do regret. Our
modern country gentlemen have drawn around themselves
a wall of lieut., or, which their poor dependents may not
pass. The landlord 'eas learnt to treat I:is tenant as a
mere rent provider, an-1 the tenant to treat the labourer
as something beneath the plough which he guides. Our
parochial clergy, we fear, are no longer the same race of
men of whom the poet wrote—
" The service past. around the pious man,
With steady zeal, each pious rustic ran ;
Even children followed, with endearing wile,
And p'ocked his gown, to share the good man's smile.
His ready smile a parent's warmth exprest ;
Their farewell pleased him, and their cares distrest ;
To them h's heart, hi,: love, his griefs, were given,
But all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven."

Of too many among.t them we fear it must be said
that they prefer the society of the large cultivator, or
the landlord, to the more humble ministrations which
claim them in the dwellings of the poor. Little wonder,
under these combined circumstances, that the labourer is
seen oftener in the wayside beer-house than in the House
of God.

Our modern philosophy has not taught us to do any-
thing to alleviate, in reality, the condition of the rural
masses, whom we have ca=t off from our sympathies. We
feed, and demoralise, them in our workhouses. They
are, in the eyes of modern statesmen, merely beings who
unfortunately eat. and drink to live. A few amongst us
think that they are endowed with minds to be cultivated,
affections to be won, virtues to be fostered, and good im-
pulses to be encouraged ; but such men are set down by
this very wise world of ours as fanatics and enthusiasts.
The modern agricultural philosopher and philanthropist
is satisfied with giving a subscribed couple of guineas now
and then to some human paragon of his class, who has
lived forty years in a service, or has brought up ten or
twelve children upon his miserable pittance of wages,
without burthening the poor-rates.

But the picture painted by Goldsmith is worthy of be-
inz contemplated seriou4y, as hearing upon the condition
of our agricultural population, of all classes, under the ef-
fects of our recent legislation. We have, by that legisla-
tion, ignored rural avocations altogether, as connected
with the g eatness or the happihess of a nation. As yet,
the full and crushing effect of the blow which we have
dealt has not been made palpably manifest. There are
still thousands of comfortable homesteads, with their
tastefully-laid-out gardens, their well-filled barns, and
their smiling meadows ; hundreds of thousands of neatly-
kept and comfortably-plenished cottages, to be found
throughout the length and breadth of this once " happy
England." But, as we are whirled past them by rail, in
our comfortably-cushioned first-class railway carria,,e,
inhaling the scent of the lilacs and honeysuckles which
adorn their porches, or the pinks and roses which deck
their well-cultured parterres, do we ever think of the
many, many sad hearts which are within, trembling as
they count the days which are to be passed over before
the arrival of the next rent day ; at the sacrifices which
must be made to preserve an honest reputation ; at the
unostentatious charities to be given up; at the pinching
parsimony which is to be applied to every item
of domestic expenditure ? We do not. The cold-
blooded political economist, at ;east, toes no{.
He would tell them, if he did bear their tale of suffering,
that exports and imports were increasing. " Babbling of
Breen fields," the man of cotton and calico would dis-
course learnedly to them of draining and subsoiling,—a
man whose notion of a drain goes little further than to
the gutter beside which he was bred,—of artificial ma-
nures, improved processes of cultivation, and other slang
of his school. His idea of a rural population is that it is a
blot in creation ; of the farmer, that he is a biped never
to be too much plucked ; of a stream, that it was only
meant by its maker to turn a cotton mill; and of the broail
lands of once happy England, that they are destined "in
the good time coming" (!) to be covered with a swarm of
wretched semi-pauperized beings, toiling from sunrise to
sunset to swell his own blood-bought gains. To such a
man it would be a pleasure to contemplate the picture, so
feelingly painted by Goldsmith:

" Even now the devastation is begun,
Ann half the business of destruction done ;
Even now, methinks, as pondering here I stand,
I see the rural virtues leave the land.
Down where ♦on anchoring vessel spreads the sail
That idly waiting saps with every gale,
Downward they move, a melancholy band,
Pass from the shore and darken all the strand.
Contented toil and hospitable care,
And kind connubial tenderness are there;
And piety, with wishes placed above,
And steady loyalty, and faithful love."
This sad spectacle, imagined by the poet, but realised
every day in our own streets, the 'political economist
would gaze upon without a misgiving or a shudder, for-
getful of the truth that the soil of this land, as well as the
soil of other lands, was made for man to toil upon, and
win his bread by the sweat of his brow ; and that it is no
part of God's providence to drive out an industrious
population so lone as he sends down upon their labours
the sunbeams, the shower, and the harvest.

The population of Preston is now above 68,000. In
1841 it was only 50,829.

On Friday week a fire destroyed property, on the
premises of Mr. Wigglesworth, Sutton, near St. Helens,
valued at £3OO, which was uninsured. The fire is sup-
posed to have been the work of an incendiary.

A Preston Journal records the existence of a clever
share-broker's parrot, which constantly astonishes stran.
gers by a jargon of " Dovers are up," " Londons are bet-

ter," itc

On Sunday week, a wild swan (Cygnus Ferns) was
shot on the reservoir of the Blackburn Water-works. It
measured from the bill to the tail four feet ten inches,
and from wing to wing six feet three inches.
On Sunday night week, at Manchester, a young girl
robbed her mother of £l3O, and went off with a soldier.
Fortunately, the fugitives were apprehended at 'Worksop ;
but, as the girl's mother refused to prosecute, she was
discharged, and the soldier given up to his regiment as a
deserter.

Taoussaa mans Bauacnes.—lnnovations of fashion
are often a long time paramount in towns before they are
adopted in country places. In a primitive village in Lan.
cashire, where the patriachs yet wear breeches and regard
trousers as an effeminate substitution, one •of the older
inhabitants was induced to adopt the modern costume,
and, thus arrayed, he sallied out one fine moining, when
he met a worthy yeoman, who, more than any of his class,
regarded' the new article of dress with contempt: Eyeing
him from head to foot, he at length exclaimed, " What !
hes tha getter; a pair o' britches wi' sleeves to; will ta,go
hoam and tak them things off thy legs, and ne'er stick
'em on again." He returned home, changed his cos-
tume, and has never since donned his pantaloons, width,

FEMALE EMIGRATION.—On Saturday the 13th con-
signment of emigrants under this scheme, left Gravesend
for Sydney, in the Malacca, a first-class vessel ("589 tons
burden. The number of emigrants who loft on Saturday,
and who for some time have been maintained in the Pe.
male limigrants Home, Hatton-garden, amounted to as.
whose ages are represented to be from lfi to U. As •
body they appear to as a heath well disposed we of
well suited to benefit the colonies, though they are WI:
dedly not of the class properly called needlewomen, the
woos, being of the lower order of domestic imams.
