THE VERMONT FARMER.
BY J. G. SAXE.
Have you ever heard of the Farmers,
Who live among the hills,
Where every man's a soverign,
And owns the land he tills,
Where all the girls are beautiful,
Ami all the boys arc strong ?
Oh! 'tis my delightofa summer's night,
To sing the Farmer's Song.
'Tis here the tall and manly
Green Mountain boys are seen ;
So called because the Mountains,
And not the Boys, are green.
They'll always fight to win tho right,
Or to resist the wrong
Oh! 'tis my delight of a summer'snight,
To sins the Farmer's Song.
'Tis here tho best and fairest
Of Yankee girls are caught,
With every grace of form and face
That e'er a lover sought ;
And every art to win his heart,
And hold it long and strong
Oh! 'tis my delight of a summer's night,
To sing tho Farmer's Song.
And here t ho Morgan horses,
And Black-Hawk steeds abound
For grace and beauty, strength and speed?
Their equals can't be found ;
They always "go it" fleetly,
And they always "come it" strong
Oh! 'tis my delightofa summer's night,
To sin the Farmer's Sons.
And the true merinos,
Of pure imported stock,
Are often seen to range the green
In many a noble flock ;
Their forms 'are large and beautiful,
Their wool is fine and long
Oh! 'tis mydelightof asummer's night,
To sinj; the Farmer's Sons;.
You've often read of wonders
Of ancient Rome and Greece,
And of Jacob's Expedition
To get the golden fleece ;
Vermont has got the fleece away,
And brought the sheep along
Oh! 'tis my delightofa summer's night
To sing the Farmer's Song.
And now three cheers for Bingham,
And all true shephered men ;
May Heaven keep himself and sheep
Till shearing comes again ;
And then may we be there to see
And help the sport along
Oh! 'tis my deligh t of a summer's night,
To sing the Farmer's Song.
Moving West. A man, his wife, and
about half a dozen children, passed thro'
Cincinnati recently on their way to tho
wilds of the West. Their effects were be
ing transported in a dry goods box on
truck-wheels, and "pulled along" by a
woman and a girl. They have a tedious
trip before them, but hope maketb the
heart whole," and that is some consolation.
Ilighfigurc. Beef sold, on Saturday,
in Philadelphia, at from sixteen to twen-jdays
ty cents a pound, and in New York at
twenty-five cents, a higher price than any
of the market men ever knew to be paid i
for it, and so high that many of the butch
ers would not purohase. Perhaps this
would be tbe best remedy for the inordi-
nate price which is now demanded for
fresh meat. It will naturally be the effect
for tho great cost must diminish the
sumption of it very materially.

"Whom the Gods wish to destroy they

try has condemned it in the most unmis-
takeablo manner, and still they persist.-
They hear not and heed not; but on, on
they madly push, deaf to the admonitions
of the past and blind to the consequences
of the future. With a self-willod and
reckless determination that listens to nobim to bo contented vith any attainment

From the Knickerbocker of March.
A Professional Scar.
BY AN OLD LAWYER.
Your kind letter, Harry, came duly to
hand; and you will be suprised to learn
that a careless que?tion of yours will draw
forth enough to cover a sheet : " what
caused that scar on my temple ?"
It is a professional scar, Harry; one
that I have carried ever sinco my earliest
practice; and although I havo now ar
rived at a tolerablo old age, and have
many, many intimate friends, it is a most
singular fact that you are tho first and
only person that ever inquired into its
origin. I can tell you all about it, but
must avoid names and places, for tho par
ties most interested in the incideut are
yet living, and I am under strong bonds
of secresy.
In the year , after passing thro'
a long examination before grave Judges
and shrewed barristers, I was pronounced
a properly qualified person to appear be
fore juries and courts for others as well
as myself, and at once proceeded to a
large southern city whero by a modest
little sign over the door of a modest little
office, I announced my readiness to com
mence tho practice of law. For three
months I waited, but alas ! no business
came, and I sat in my office on a dreary
night, at about eloven o'clock, in this
very comfortable position; my money was
gone entirely; my board bill was to be
paid in the morning, and my rent the
day following; and I absolutely feared to
m -rw linnrltn rr ll rtTlcn lTfl TCOlfflfl in
I". . 1 i 1 1 1 it. A
what securca tue ionorn nope max, some
thing in the way of a fee might appear,
either dropping from the skies, or sud
denly appearing on my desk. Outside,
no step was heard; and as I occasionally
glanced through my window, the flame
of the street light, moved by the wind
would seemingly move mo homeward !
but I would not go. A footstep sounded
in my entry; a second, and a third, and
more, but so slight that my heart-beating
prevented me counting them : and then
a little knock. I compelled myself to
say " come in" with a calm voice, altho'
I expected to be instantly vis-a-vis with
a young woman; the door opened, and I
saw an old one.
I had only time to move towaad a chair
before she was in tho centre of the room
and speaking :
" I havo no time to sit. Young man,
you aro a lawyer; are you good for any
thing ?"
My insulted dignity was controllod by
an effort, and I answered that I flattered
myself that I possessed some talent for
my profession, or I should not have chos
en it.
" Well,' well, no gas; cau you draw a
paper ?"
Hero again I veutured to remark, that
it depended somewhat on its nature; but
I saw from her impatient manner that
she wanted no trifling. Before I finished
the sontence, she interrupted me with a
fierceness of manner exceeding her for
mer rough one, saying :
" I want a will drawn quick! hurried
ly! but so strong that allxthc d Is in
h 11 can't undo it! Can you do it?" and
she fairly glared at me with impatience
for my answer.
Now you know, Harry, that my legal
education was obtaind entirely ia a sur
rogate's office, and you may presume that
on the law and forms of last wills and
tostaments I felt myself sufficiently posted
up. I accordingly assured her that I
could draw a will which, though I could
not warrant it to pass the ordeal she
mentioned, would, I was sure, be proof a
gainst all the lawyers in Christendom.
And now her manner changed from
the fierce and bold to the anxious and
hurried.
" Come, then, quick ! quick ! young
man and you shall pocket one thousand
dollars for your night's work ! she ex
claimed. And, amazed and bewildered as I was,
I found myself at the neighboring corner
stepping into a hack, before the startling
but comfortable words, " One thousand
dollars for your night's work!" had ceased
ringing in my ears. My conductress fol
lowed me in, and without orders we were
rattled furiously along tho streets to the
House then the largest hotel in tho
city. My visions of one thousand bright
dollars kept my tongue bridled, and I
was led in silence up two flights of stairs
into a suit of rooms comprising a parlor
and two bed rooms. The parlor, howev
er, was occupied by a bed, in which lay
an old and evidently dying man. A ser
vant was with him, but he left upon a
motion from the hand of my companion,
who approached tho bed and said :
" I have an attorney here, Sir ; shall
he proceed V
The old man's eye brightened up, and,
after glaring on me for a moment, he spoke:
" If you can draw my will, do it; quick!
now for I must save my breath."
I turned to tho table where I found
paper, pens, ink, and everything neces
sary; and by the light of two sperm can
dles in heavy silver candlesticks, I was
soon busily engaged at tho will,
I will not trouble you with tho details,
nor in fact, do I remember them : but it
is enough to say that a largo amount of
property real and personal, bonds, mort
gage?, etc, were left in the words of the
will, to "my good and faithful house
keeper Angclino , as a taken of
gratitude for her long, faithful and mer- (
itorious services." But the concluding ;
words of tho will I shall never forget;
they were from his own mouth, and mado
me shudder as I wrote them. There U
something fearful, dreadful ye3, devil- j
ish in this deliberately recording, in
what purports to be your last written
wish, a course upon your own offspring,
and felt, a I wrote it, an involuntary-
desire to tear the paper into fragments, 1
and to rush from the room, but the thous
and dollars were like so many anchors, 1
so I staid aud wrote :
" I leave to my daughter Dora all tho
satisfaction she can obtain from my hear
ty curse. When rags whip about her in '
her only home, the street, and dogs sharo
with her the refuse of the gutter, she may
regret she disobeyed him who once loved
her, but who dying cursed her !"
There was something like a chuckle in
the direction of old Angeline as the dy
ing wretchvdictated these fearful words; !
but as I looked and saw the stern face (
as rigid as marble, I concludod I must
have been mistaken. I could not, how
ever, divest myself of 3 certain feeling
that all was wrong. A rich old man ac
companied by an old house-keeper, and
dying in a strange city; her anxiety to
have the will so strong; the curse on his
daughter, and the large fee, all conspired
to make me feel that I was being instru
mental in the accomplishment of some
villanou3 object. Again I meditated the
destruction of the paper, and again my
fee and want3 conquered. Tho will was
finished, and I read it over aloud, tho
old man groaning, and the old woman
looking an occasional assent; but when I
read tho terrible curse, a new actor ap
peared on the scene;
"Oh ! tear it! tear it! Oh God you know
not what you do !"
The plaintive tones of the voice touched
my heart, even before my eyes beheld its
owner; but when I saw her, heavens and
earth . what an angel she was ! The
language is 'et undiscovered, IIarry,that
is competent to give you a description of
that face; the eyes dancing with excite
ment yet liquid with tears; the mouth
proud as Juno's yet compressed with
anguish. But why do I attempt descrip
tion ? The most majestic, yet the sweet
est countenance I ever beheld appealed
to me, aftd not in vain; for while the old
man, weak as ho was jumped from his
bed screaming "Kill her! kill her I" I
tore the will into fragments, and wo both
fell to the floor, he dead and I stunned
by a blow from the heavy candle-stick
weilded by the old has Angeline.
When my consciousness returned, I j
found myself in my own bed at my board
ing house, my host and hostess my sole
attendants. My mind was clear the mo
ment I looked about me, aud I knew I
had been brought home and was now
confined from the effects of that blow. I
resolved to keep my own counsel, and to
ascertain what I could of the subsequent
proceedings of tho night. Upon inquiry,
I found that I had been brought home
by a young gentleman in a carriage, who
had loft funds for the employment of a
physician, aud had also left a letter for
me. I opened the letter as soon as I was
alone, and found a fifty dollar bank-note,
with these words :
" You did last night a deed worthy of j
more gratitnde than our present means j
enable us to express. Tho property
which so nearly belonged to the infamous
hag who struck you, will soon be ours j
and you shall then hoar from us. May
the same kindness which prompted you
t-n fnir flm nonnr on?il vnnr linD liflrnafr.ur
as to the painful scenes of last eveniug.
Gratefully yours,
Dora and her Husband." j
My first act was to conceal the letter j
beneath my pillow; my second, to call
my host and tender him the amount of j
my board bill: to my astonishment he
told me that my companion paid it when j
he left the letter. It seems I raved a
little about my inability to pay my host
while I was unconscious, and thus the '
husband of Dora (for I had no doubt it j
was he who brought mo home) had as
certained the fact and paid my bill. Ad
ded to this, my wound was not scvero e
nough to need any surgery moro than
was offered by my landlady; so when I '
had recovered, (whioh was soon,) I had
only my office rent to pay, and then re-1
sumed business with tho larger part of ;
ono hundred dollars in my treasury. I
made cautious inquiries about the
IIouso as to the subsequent movements
of mysterious clients, but could only as
certain that the old couple arrived on that
eventful night, the old man ordering a
pleasant room in which ho could diejthat
the young couple camo by another con
veyance, and had taken other rooms;that
the old man's body was immediately box
ed up & shipped for the north under chargo
of his mau-servant; that tho old woman
went off alone; and that fiually the young
man paid tho whole bill, and left also
with his wife. To do my worthy host 1
and his kind lady full justice, t must say
that they never even hinted at the mat
ter, and I never had a question to an
swer : they probably took it for granted
that I had bean the victim of some broil,
and avoided annoying mc by any ref
erence to it.
Thirty years of hard work rolled by,
Harry during which I acquired a family
fortune, fame, and, gray hairs : but I
never, in all that time, saw or heard of
my clionts, with the exception of one let
ter, which was received some 'ear3 after
tho occurrence which I have related, and
which contained two more fifty dollar
bills, with the words
" We aro very happy, may God ble33
you, Dora."
But in all that time, I havo never for
gotten that beautiful angelic face, nor tho
mute appeal which it made to my heart;
the answer to which cost me the deep
scar which is the object of your present
curiosity, aud a one thousand dollar feo
less the amount received from the young
folks. Neither did I in all that time, re
gret the course I took.
Some ten years ago, as you probably
remember, I spent a winter in Havanna.
I boarded with a Spanish landlord, whose
house was generally filled with American
visitors. But, strange to say, I passed one
week with him without a single American
arrival; and I was mentally resolved one
day to leave for New Orleans, where I
could find troops of friends, and rid my
self of tho enui consequent upon my soli
tary position, when I heard my host cal
ling mo :
" Sonor, Senor, los Americanos A
mcricanos." Looking from my window, I saw a fine
portly gentleman attending to his lug
gage, and answering tho demands of a
thousand and one leeohes of porters who
each claimed to have brought something
for bim. Thinking I might be of service
to him, I went out, and with two or three
dimes dispersed the villains who, know
ing me for an old stager, submitted to my
orders. The gentleman turned to thank
mc, but suddenly started back, then
gianced at my temple, and seeing the end
of ray candle stick mark peering out be
neath my sombrero, he caught me by tho
hand exclaiming :
" We have met before, Sir! how glad
I am to see you 1" .
And then, without explanation, ho
drew me to the door-way in which stood
a matronly but still beautiful woman.
" See, Dora," said he, " is not this our
old friend ?"
At the word u Dora" I started, and
there before me, sure enough, stood the
Dora of thirty years previous, still re
taining many of her charms, but with
the marks of time, notwithstanding im
pressed upon her features.
You may well believe our reunion was
most pleasant; and after our dinner was
over, aud we were out enjoying the sea
breeze, the whole story was told me. I
will not give you the details of it; it was
long, but the main features of it were a
bout what I had surmised. Dora was
the only child of a wealthy father, her
mother died when she was a mere child;
old Angeline had remained with her fath
er in tho capacity of a housekeeper, and
had, while Dora was away at school, ac
quired, as is generally the case, complete
influenc3 over him. Dora wa3 wooed
and won by a poor clerk : tho father
would not listen to it; an elopement was
the consequence, and the old man in hi?
raire broke up house-keeping, and taking
old Angeline with him started for the
South. Dora had followed him with her
husband although she knew ho would
not sec her, and although he had always
been harsh and unkind to her, yet she
knew ho was in the last stages of con
sumption, and she determined, if possible,
to be with him when he died. At tho
time of his death, they had been follow
ing him about a month from place to
place, keeping concealed from him, and
eluding even the keen eyes of Angeline.
When Dora appeared in tho room, it was
only because the man-servant, who had
been with her father, and, who, as you
remember, left the room when I entered,
had observed their arrival and had kind
ly gone to her and informed her that her
father could not live an hour, sho was
entering the room to make one last effort
at reconciliation when my voice roading
the fearful words of her father's curso
caused the outcry and denouncement.
Her husband, who followed her in, found
the old man dead, Dora in a swoon, me
senseless, and. old Angeline in vain, try
ing to put the many pieces of the will to
gether, raving and cursing liko a Bedla
mite. Ho and the man servant put the
old man's body in the bed, took Dora to
her room, and while tho servant kept
guard over Angeline he took me home in
a carriage. The rest you know.
I havo only to add that, whenever I
wander north, either alouo or with my
wife or family, we always stop at tbe
houso of our kind frionds. They have
spent ouo wintor with us at the South,
aud expect them again the coming sea
son. And tho young gentleman who
studied law under my instruction, with
my name on the sign with his (as senior
partner although he docs all tho business,)
is Dora's son, and from certain conscious
looks and bright blushes on ray pretty
daughter's cheek wben bo calls, I imagine
he may possibly be mine, too. But of
this Harry, rest assured I will not curso
hor if she marries him.
BSFThe extra appropriations for tho
