The Old Farmers Elegy

On a green NOISY knell, by the banks of the brook
That SO long and so often has watered his docK'
| The old farmer rests in his long and last sleep,
While the waters a low, asping lullaby keep;
lie has powed his last fTrow, has reaped MS last
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
The blue-bird sings sweet on the gay maple bough,
Its warbling oft cheered him while holding the pillow
And the robins above him hop light on the mould,
For he fed them with crumbs when the season wa
cold;
He has pIowed his last furrow, has reaped his las
grain:
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
Yon tree that with fragrance is filling the air,
30 rich with its blossoms, so thrifty and fair,
by his own hand was planted, anu well did he say,
1t would live when its planter had moldered away:
lie has plowed his last furrow, has reaped his last
grain;
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
There's the well that he dug with its water so cold
With Its wet dripping bucket so messy and old,
No more from its depths BY the patriarchs drawn,
For the pitcher is broken-the old man is gone!
lie has plowed his last ftHrow, has reaped his last
grain;
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
And the seat where he sat by his own cottage door,
In the still summer ewes, when his abors were DER
With his eye on the moon, and his pipe in his hand
Dispensing his truths like sage of the land:
He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped his last
grain;
No morn shall awake him TO labor again.
Twas gloom giving day when the old farmer died;
The stout-hearted mourned the afection;Ae cried;
And the prayers of the just for his rest did ascend
For they all lost brother, man, and friend:
lie has powed his last furrow, has reaped his last
gram;
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
For upright and honest the old farmer was;
His Cop he revered, he respected the laws;
Though fameless he lived, he has gone where his
worth
viii outshne, like pure god all the dross of his earth:
lie has plowed his last iurow, has reaped his last
grain;
No morn shall awake him to labor again.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850 twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
illustrous in the service Of the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public.
Mr.: Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work believed to be superior to any that have
beer taken In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with tie soul
of the living conptenance.
The drawings and engravngs OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper i6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose
This work has nothing sectional in Its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only are admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives. Art
ard Literature are universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend Of our glorious nion viii respond to oqr aR
peal for encouragement and aid in so conmendAble
undertaking, that its publication may make era in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
iistrios mep Of the UAiop together, consolidate il
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond The reach OF most of citizens, the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established tho following
