NOTHING IN THE PAPER TODAY.

Nothing at all in the paper to-dayl
Only murder somewhere or other
A girl who has put her child away,
Not being a wife as well as mother.
Or drunken husband beating Il wife,
With the neighbors lying awake to listen
Scarce aware he has taken life
Till at the window the dawn-rays glisten--
There's nothing at all in the paper to-day.
Nothing at all in the paper to-day.
To be sure, there's a woman died of star
vation,
Fell down in the street-as so many may
In this very prosperous Christian nation.
Or two young girls, with some inward grief
Maddened, have plunged in the inlSy
waters;
Ora father has learned that his sons a thief,
Or a mother been robbed of her daughters,
Things that occur in the regular way
There's nothing at all in the paper to-day
There's nothing at all in the paper to-day
|. Unless you care about things in the city
How great rich rogues for their crime must
pay
Though all gentiity cries out "pityrO
Like the meanest shop boy that robs till
There's a case to-day, if I'm not forgetting,
The lad only Borrowed" as such lads will,
Topay some money lost in betting.
But there's nothing in this that is out of the
way
There's nothing at all in the payer to-day.
Nothing at all in the paper to-day,
But the births and bankruptcies, deaths
and marriages,
But liie's events in the old survey;
With virtue begging and vice in carriages;
And kindly hearts under ermWe gowns,
And wicked breasts under hodden-gray,
For goodness belongs not only to clowns,
And DER others than lords does sin bear
sway.
But what do read "Drowned Wreck
cdr Did say
There was nothing at all in the papers to-
day?

Foa THE FAHxrE.
THE FARMER.

Who gre among the happiest and
most upright of our land. but the
honest, working farmers? II
is refreshing to see their genial.
merry faces. rs they bid you a cor
dial welcome to the best their table
affords. No grudging or inhos-
pitality il ever shown to the tired.
hungry traveller. by our true farmer.
He has thousand traits which are
noble and serve to light up his
character. He is honest and sim
cere. free from vanity and pride
except the honest pride he may
feel in knowing that he is independ-
ent, through his own industry.
Ever kind and obliging, he is will
ing to assist anyone in affection aud
distress. When one of his neigh
bors needs assistance in his daily
labor, it is freely given, without
thought or wish of recompense.
Thus they mutually assist each
other, and follow the golden rule"
As a general thing, the farmer il
never guilty of a low action-does
not deal in cunning or over-rsach-
ing. His dealings are generally
honest aud ulr.ght. True. pure.
religious principles seem to be his
guide in all his ways.
Visit our farmer in his neat, COM
Portable home. acquired by the hon
est labor of his hands. Observe the
thrift and management OF his house,

his well -cultivated fields; his fine
horses. cattle and sheep. his we'll

rosy cheeks and smiling faces Of his
children, and be convinced that

EDITOR ST.. TAnxANY FARMER:

EDITOR d. xAA4ANY Ak4Eh.
Please be kind enough to read
this letter before you toss it into
that capacious basket under the
table, which have no doubt has
been the tomb of many sheet OF
foolscap. The reason I ask YOU to
read it is that you might possibly be
startled Mt the heading, and think
that Aunt Tammany would wish to
usurp the privileges of the sanctum
sactorun,, and give the intelligent
readers Of our bright little FARMER
an editorial. She leaves that to the
able hands that are at present steer
ing the little bark safely AMONG the
breakers, and hopes that the eye of
the heImsman may be steadily fixed
on the flights along the shor.,'
! which lights are the beacons Of sue
cess that loom up in the pathway of
every honest and well-conducted
enterprise. Aud. en- PEASANT. /
would say, may these lights, in the
way of subscriptions for the FARMER,
often cheer all the occupants Of the
printing Office; and when the last
type is distributed" and the "form
locked up" for aye. may they see,
far away ON the headlands Ut the
other shore, the flights that never

What q long depression! I began
about editorials, or the leading

the beginning of them, and thought
some of your readers might also be

Piles of Faust and Guttenburg first

the news. and nothing but the news.
But often. in the early history of
the press, LAS is sometimes the case
in these latter days.) the mails
failed to arrive, aud per conse-
quence, there was dearth of the
