Rockland County Journal. VOL II HAVERSTRAW. ROCKLAM) COUNTY, THURSDAY, JAJSTARY 6,1843. NO. 34 AGRICULTURAL Broken Wind in Horses.—Science has at last demonstrated that this troublesome and generally fatal disease, is occasioned by the rupture, of the air cells, or vessels, of the lungs. The difficult and laborious respiration manifested by persons after violent and pro- longed exertion, is unquestionably the result !of the same cause ; and in many cases, is no doubt hereditary. * Dr. Jackson,' says a co- temporary, 'found that of twenty-eight per- sons affected with this rupture of the air cells, eighteen were the offspring of parents, (fa- thers or mothers, jpffected with the same dis- ease, and that several of them had died from this cause. In some instances the brothers and sisters of these persons were similar af- fected. On the other band, of fifty persons unaffected, three only were the offspring of parents who had suffered from it:—whence it follows that rupture of the air cells of the lungs is frequently a hereditary disease a fact important to a man and beast, at ail events to the breeder of the latter.' Habits of Sheep.—They perseveringly follow their leader wherever he goes. Of this singular disposition, Dr. Anderson informs us that hr once witnessed an instance in the town of Liverpool. A butcher's boy was driving about 20 fat wethers through the town; but they ran down a street, along which he did not want them to go. He ob- served a scavenger at work with his broom a little before them, and called out loudly for him to stop the sheep. The man accordingly did what he could do to turn them back, run- ning from side to side, always opposing him- self to their passage, and brandishing his broom with great dexterity ; but the sheep, much agitated, pressed forward and at last one of them came right up to the man, who, fearing it was about to jump over his head whilst he was stooping, grasped the short broomstick in both hands, and held it hori- zontally over his head. He stood in this position when he made a spring and jumped fairly over him, without touching the broom. The first had no sooner cleared the impedi- ment, than another followed, and another, in confounded, seemed to loose all recollection, and stood in the same position till the whole had jumped over him, not one of them at- tempting to pass on either side, though the street was quite clear. Revengeful Hens—A neighboring gen- tleman one summer had lost most of his chickens by a sparrow-hawk, that came gli- ding down between a faggot pile and the end of his house to the place where the coops stood. The owner, inwardly vexed to see his Mock thus diminishing, hung a setting net adroitly between the pile and the bouse, into which the caitif dashed, and was entan- gled. Resentment suggested the law of re- taliation ; he therefore clipped the hawk's wings, cut off his talons, and, fixing a cork on his bill, threw him down among the brood- hens. Imagination cannot paint the scene that ensued ; the expressions that fear, rage, and revenge, inspired, were new, or at least such as had been unnoticed before; the ex- asperated matrons upbraided, they execrated, they insulted, they triumphed. In a word, they never desisted from buffeting their ad- versary till they had torn him in an hundred pieces. A married lady found her two sons quar- relling, and in hopes of putting an end to their differences, uttered the following. 1 You young rascals, if you don't desist di- rectly, I'll tell both your fathers.' 'Teddy, *my boy, jist guess how many cheeses there are in this ere bag, an' faith, j I'll give you the whole five.' ' Five, to be sure.' Arrah, by my soul! bad luck to the ! man that tould ye.' ' Ain't it too wicked to rob a hen roost, Jim V ' That's a moral question, Sam ; we have no time to argue it; hand down anoth- er pullet.' 4 Don't rob yourself!' as the farmer said to the lawyer when he called him hard names. The trial of Phelps for the murder of his father, closed in Troy, on Friday, and the jury, after being out three hours, returned a verdict of not guilty. Darkey Cunning.—Some years ago, the city council of Charleston, S. C, passed an ordinance that when the military turned out in that city, all negroes and negro boys found running behind the soldiers, neglecting their masters' business, should be arrested by the police and receive a few lashes. But the 1 gemmen of color' broke through the meshes of the law thereafter, by running ahead! There was so much lawyer-like cunning in this, the city council and police never troub- led them afterwards. 1 How does the razor cut ?' said a barber, while shaving one of his customers. ' Pret- ty well, I should think. You've cut me in two places already.' A D*mon in Petticoats. —It is stated in an English paper that a Jealous wife recently tied her husband in bediwhile he slept, and then poured boiling watA- over him. When arraigned for trial, whj£h resulted in trans- portation for life, sbeAoldly confessed the j crime. & [For the Messenger.] SONG. To Juila. POETRY. How brightly breaks the rosy morn; The grass, is fresh and green; The glist'ning dew hangs tremblingly, Upon, the leafy sheen; The south-wind, fans with gentle breeze The fields of wheat, and corn ; And the Robin sings in yonder trees, To_greet, the rosy morn. The little warblers of the grove Now tune their songs of glee; The Black-bird chaunts his tale of love, From yonder \ Old Oak Tree !\— Tis thus; they hail the rosy morn And waft their praise to Heaven :— Bnt give to me; the cherish'd song Of her I love !—at even.

From the dusty path there opens, Eastward, an unknown way; Above its windings, pleasantly, The woodland branches play. A silvery brook comes stealing From the shadow of its trees, Where slender herbs of the forest stoop Before the entering breeze. Along those pleasant windings I would my journey lay, Where the shade is cool and the dew of night Is not yet dried away. \ Path of the flowery woodland ? Oh whither dost thou lead, Wandering by grassy orchard grounds Or by the open mead ? Goesithou by nestling: cottage? Goest thou by stately hall, Where the broad elm droops, a leafy dome, And woodbines flaunt on the wall ? By steeps where children gather Flowers of the yet fresh yearf »rl«<Mly waltc* wh<rrx? knir. atray Till tt»e tender stars appear. Or haply dost thou lingsr On barren plains and bare, Or clamber the bold mountain side, Into the thinner air. * Where they who journey upward Walk in a weary track, And oft upon the shady vale With longing eyes look back. I hear a solemn murmur, And listening to the sound, I know the voice of the mighty sea, Beating his pebbly bound. Dost thou, oh path of the woodland ! And where these waters roar, Like human life, on a trackless beach, With a boundless Sea before ? MISCELLANEOUS. Adventure of a Bashful \Lover.\ His name was Danphule—we used to call \u25a0 him ' Jack' for short. Heaven help me if he i should ever ace the story ! 1 hope he don't take the ' Spirit.' Among his many misfor- i tunes —for he was cock-eyed, red-haired, and knock-kneed—he numbered that inconveni- i ent one of bashfulness. Nevertheless he was j fond of the hdies, although when in their I presence he never opened his mouth when he could help it, and when he did speak he | used both of his hands to help him talk—in j fact he was a young man of' great actions.' i I —Jack one warm day, fell in love; he had I i just graduated at College, and began to think | he must seek the ladies' society ; he was be- ginning to be a man, and looked manly to i have a ' penchant.' So Jack fell in love with the sweetest, liveliest, and most hoyden- ish girl in the square; but how to tell his ' love—-there was the rub.—He had heard a I good deal of the \u25a0 language of the eyes,' and I he accordingly tried that, but whenever be i looked particularly hard at the window where Miss Emily was in the habit oi\ sitting, some person on the other side of the street would < bow to him, thinking he was endeavoring to catch their eye. He has despised expressive eyes ever since. At length Jack obtained an introduction i through his sister, and with her he called several limes, but she was obliged to leave the city tor a season, and as each interview had only increased his ardor, he finally de- termined upon ' going it alone.' Long be- fore the hour fixed upon by custom for an evening visit had arrived, he found himself arrayed in his best. Black coat, metal but- tons, black casimere pants, (said pants being a leetle' tighter than the skin,) —and a spot- less vest. The journals of the day state as an item of information that the thermometer ranged from 75 deg. to 80 deg. Jack swears lit was a hundred. As the hour drew grad- ually near, Jack found his courage and the perspiration oozing out together, and he al- most determined to pull off and stay at home. I —He concluded, however, he'd take a walk , past the house and see bow be felt. By the . time he reached the mansion he firmly con- > eluded not to go it; hot on casting an eye towards the parlor window, and perceiving | no signs of life there, he thought it probable no one was at home,' and since he had pro- ceeded thus far he'd proceed farther, and— leave his card. No sooner determined than concluded. In a reckless manner he,pulled the bell—he was sure that he had only just touched it—the darned thing needn't make such a noise. The door was opened as if by magic, and the servant politely requested him to walk in— * Miss Emily was all alone in the parlor, and would be delighted to see him.' O, dear, here was a fix ! Go in a dark parlor with a pretty girl all alone ' It was too late for retreat; the girl had closed the door, and was pointing the way into the par- lor where Miss Emily was sitting all alone.' Being perfectly convinced that no choice was left him into the room he walked, or rath- er slided.—All was perfect chaos to his eye for a moment, but only for a moment ; then from the deepest gloom came forth an angel voice bidding him welcome and draw near.' To obey the order was but the work of a moment, as he supposed—but he little dream- ed of the obstacles fate had thrown in his way. He well knew the stream had many ripples, but full grown snags entered not into his calculation. —Judge, therefore, his aston- ishment at being tripped up, almost at the fair one's feet by a fat stool with plethoric legs, which chance or a careless servant had placed exactly in his way to happiness. Over he went, and as the tailor had not al- lowed fir any extra tension of muscle and sinews, he not only ' procured' a 'compound fracture'of the black pants aforesaid, said fracture extending all across ' that point which comes in contact with the chair.' The young lady was almost suffocated with laughter at the mishap of the bashful lover, felt truly sorry for him, and employing all her powers of fascination to drive it from his mind, eventually succeeded so far as to in- duce him to make a remark. And on this rock he spilt, lor just at that moment she discovered she had lost her handkerchief. What had become of it ? She was sure she had it when he came in ! ' Haven't you got it under you, Mr. Danphule?' Jack was sure that couldn't be so! but poor Jack, in venturing an answer, could not possibly get along without raising his hands, and of course he must let drop his coat tail. ln his anxi- ety to recover the missing ' vipe» ' he even ventured to incline his body so as to get a glance on the floor. As he did so the frac- ture opened and there lay—as the lady sup- posed—her properly. It was but the work of an instant to seize the corner and exclaim —' Here it is, sir ; you need'nt trouble your- self! Rise a little—it's under you!' at the same time giving it a long pull. Alas, the tail was now- told —no escape—nothing short of a special interposition of Providence could have saved his shirt. But what should he do? Another and another, a stronger pull, evincing on the part of the lady a praisewor- thy determination to obtain the lost ' dry goods,' coupled with the request to ' Get up, sir—you're sitting on it!' determined him ; and in the agony of the moment, grabbing with both hands a fast disappearing strip of linnen, which encircled his neck, he ex- claimed in heart broken accents.—For God's sake, Miss Emily, leave my shirt collar !' — Spirit of the Times. Hannah Lee. ' I want my breakfast ; do you hear, Han- nah ? I say, I want my breakfast this min- ute,' said Joseph Brown, very impatiently to the cook, one bright morning in the Month of December. ' Well, wait two or three minutes said the girl. 4 No, I won't neither, so get it now.' ' I shall get it when 1 please, so take your- self off, Master Joseph,' replied the girl/in a cross tone. 'Ifyou don't gi\e me my breakfast right off, I'll tell mother,' rejoined the child. ' You my tell who you please, for all I care,' said Hannah, who was by this time very an- gry—and away ran Joseph to make the threatened complaint to his mother. Hannah was just broiling the steak for breakfast; the hre had troubled her all the morning, and it wanted but five minutes of seven, the usual breakfast hour. Joseph re- turned to the kitchen, and said in a very im- portant tone, ' Hannah, my mother desires you to give me my breakfast now.' She pour- ed out his milk, spread the butter on his bread, but was sorry to find when she went back to her steak,that the best part of it was smoked. The clock struck; in her haste, she over- turned the coffee, and was compelled to de- lay the meal while she made more and it was ten minutes past the hour, when the family was summoned to the table. ' Mrs Brown,' said her husband,' this won't do; that girl will never answer our purpose. There we are behind hand with breakfast, and this steak is too smoky to eat. It is too bad to have such a piece of meat as this is, spoiled in cooking.' ' Yes,' replied the wife, and I sent Joseph down this morning, to tell her to give him his breakfast first, as he was not very well last night, and ate no supper, and to be sure the answer she made him was, • I'll get it when I please, and you may tell your mother so, for all I care.' ' Well, send her off immediately—l won't have a girl in the house who is impertinent, and a bad cook into the bargain.' It was poor Hannah's trial week, and as she went home to her mother that night, with the word from Mrs. Brown that she would not suit her, she felt almost too down-heart- ed to think of trying again for a place. She opened the door of her father's house, and found her mother mending some of the chil- dren's clothes by the light of a small wood- fire, and her younger brother and sister study- ing their Sunday school lesson by the same flickering light. As Hannah entered the '' room, her mother looked up, and her pale, ; anxious face, the small, dark room, though de ! neat and clean, when contrasted with Mrs. j 0- B.s cheerful parlor, with its bright coal-fire j - aud solar lamp, made Hannah's snd heart j an sadder, and putting her wages into her moth- ! pd j er's hand, she said, ' Oh, mother, here is my j ist I dollar for the week, and here I am again to se Ibe a burden to you—for Mrs. Brown thinks t>y ; I won't do for her,' and her tears fell faster ?d I and faster. le j ' Do hot be discouraged, my child ; I dare cc say you will get another place—only trust in I your Heavenly Father and you will have •k , strength to persevere. as j On Monday morning she started again in ie j search of a place, but after walking all day, r- : and inquiring at the different houses, quite ».' discouraged, she was about returning home, ;e j tired and hungry, when she stopped and look- li- [ ed wistfully over the fences at a house which ,c siood some distance back from the street, n ; ' Are you going to my bouse V said a bright i ?1 little boy, in a pleasant tone to her, as he i \u25a0.' put a lump of snow for a nose upon the face l a of the man he was making. 'Does your I i- mother want a girl? said Hannah. ' No, my I s mother don't want any—but Mrs. Fisher is I y taking tea with us, and I heard her say tiiat s :o sb*\;^anted one. Why, do you want a place ? i- — cause if you do. you'd better come in and t c see Mrs. Fisher. I'll show you the way, said t c the little fellow, trudging on before her to the « d house. As they went into the kitchen, ' there, t *. sit down and I'll call mother,' said he. Soon < 1- jhe returned, followed by the two ladies; ( d Hannah rose and courtesied to them, and in t J reply to Mrs. Fisher's questions, said her t d name was Hannah Lee, that she lived one i it week with Mrs. Brown, but that lady thought t .' she would not be able to do her work. I h ' Well,' said Mrs. Fisher, ' I will see Mrs. t \u25a0, Brown, and let you know to-mnrrow if I want t II you.' t s The little boy whispered to his mother— J - ' She looks tired, mother^may I give her some < s milk?' ' Yes, John,'she replied, and turn- e ing to Hannah, said 'you look weary, have f. you walked far?' 'Yes, ma'am,' said Han- e nah—'l have been walking since early this it morning.' s 'Have you had any dinner?' said little n John. t ' No, dear.' . c ' Well, John, you may n«k Mary to give . - Hannah something to eat.' t ' Yes, mother, I'll see to it.' n Hannah ate a hearty meal of cold meat, - bread aud milk, and went home with a much i. lighter heart, but she was to be again disap- r* O i pointed, for Mrs. Fisher sent her word the n next day, that she was afraid to try her, as - she wanted a good cook, and from what \u25a0 c Mrs. Brown said, she thought she would not c dr> for her. t Two days after, little John Hall cume to fi i her, and said his mother's cook was then c sick, and if she would like to come and take , her place, his mother would try her. ' Oh, • - mother,' said Hannah, 'it is that dear good \u25a0 y lady who was to kind to me.—l will go back ~ with John.' ; ' Well, wife,' said Mr. Hall, 'rs they sat at 7 tea that evening, ' did you see Mrs. Brown a- f bout the girl you spoke of?' ' Yes, dear,' replied Mrs. [Tall, ' and her h s report was not veay favorable. She said she ' did pretty well the first part of the time, but she was finally cross to the children, and • \u25a0 . a sent impertinent messages by them to her, late about her meals, and did not even know . si - how to cook a beefsteak. Notwithstanding . - -oil this, I have determined to try the girl. } She said she was honest and neat, and I li- • f ked her appearance so much the other day, , that I sent for her, and she is now in the > house. There was one thing that made me think that perhaps the girl was not wholly in fault. While I was there, Joseph Brown - came in ; he is just ihe age of our John, and i his mother asked him if his hat was hung .' up.—Joseph answered, ' No, I can't reach , L the nail.' ' Well, tell Susan to hang it up,' .• said his mother. ' He. went out and scream- «• ' ed at the top of his voice,' Susan, hang up . \u25a0 my hat !? Now, really, I should not blame i : any girl for being somewhat cross, to be so spoken to by a child.' • Well, there is no harm in trying her,' — i : said her husband, 'if she is honest ;and you \u25a0 f say her father has a large family to sup- Jo J f a, \u25a0 P° rt; , . v ' \ es, she is but sixteen, and eldest of eight a i children.' Four weeks from the time that she left Mrs. , Brown's Hannah Lee again entered her > mother's dwelling : and though the room was ~' r» j © VV . small as ever, and the fire no brighter than • - it was then, yet her own happy heart shed • the light of cheerfulness around, and her ; pleasnut smile was reflected in her mother's ' countenance, as she seated herself in a chair by her side. w t ' Here, dear mother, are some pieces of can- li . del that Mrs. Hall gave ne; only think of our w , sewing by a sperm candle ! and let me take tt i your work while you rest. lam going to stay 1 , with you all day to-morrow, for the family are ft , going to pass the day with Mrs. Hall's moth- w I er, and Miss. Susan though she is only twelve a s years old, said she would get breakfast, and P , John said he would make the fire that I might M , come home to-night. So here I am, mother. s< I Those children are so good, and they speak jei I to me so kindly, so different from little Jo- I? i seph Brown, and Mrs. Hall says she don't d t want a better girl than I am, and she will vi give me a dolfcfr and a half a week, just what m 9 she gave the other girl. No person can help ol i doing well, when every one is so kind. Mrs. o; i Hall told me to-day, what Mrs. Brown said of cl - me, and I told her all about it; how Joseph e1 ?. came for his breakfast when I was so busy, k I and ordered me to get it in such a way that tl - it made me cross, and he never told me his p - mother sent him, neither. Mr. Hall never ci - lets the children interrupt me unless for some- v< b thing very important, and they always ask in b j such a pleasant way, ' Hannah, will you do c i, this for me, when you are at leisure?' that it tl h is a pleasure to put myself out for them. And tl ! here sre my four dollars, and I'm so happy. \u25a0, But you don't say how glad you are aaotk- -4 Because, my child, you have talked so feet, that yon have given me no chance to speak. < I do rejoice in your good fortune, both fir your sake and my own, not only that I am happy in the happiness of my children, bat because your assistance is absolutely neces- sary to us. Hut have you remembered to whom your gratitude is due for all these bles- sings ? ' Yes, mother, I have not forgotten to thank my Heavenly Father for them every day more and more thankful But there comes father/ she exclaimed, and she wassnon folded in- his arms, recounting to him her success. ' Now ca'l in the children who are up, and let us have prayers,' sa id Mr. Lee, when she had done speaking. As her father prayed} that night that she who had left the family altar for other scenes, might be sustained in the fulfilment of her duties. Hannah revolt- ed, that with the help of God, she would be> faithful. Wnh a happy, hopeful heart, she retired to bed, where she was soon sound •• sle^p. If children could only feel how much bet- ter it is for them to speak kindly to domes- tics, how much their own happiness depends upon it, they would never allow themselves to speak a harsh or hasty word to those upon whom they are so dependat for many of the comforts of life. And let them remember that when they speak unkindly or fretfully, the trouble does not end with the words they utter but angry fellings are roused, and like the ripples which break the calm surface of the water, when a stone is cast into its depths, though the stone passes out of sight, yei rhe the water is troubled far beyond the reach of their vision. And, as in the case of little Joseph Hrown, they cannot tell how great a matter a little (ire kindleth. A Horse Story—M. De la ——, is an elderly French gentleman, of noble connec- tions, hut altered fortunes ; he sustains him- self, however, in a handsome position in *o- ciety by his talents, and is withal a model of gentlemanly deportment and feeling. He not long since bought a splendid looking horse for one hundred and fifty dollars, which however, proved to have a very vile trick of stumbling; and after three narrow escapes of his neck, Monsieur was obliged to request our auctioneer friend to include the animal in lis next sale. The morning came, and the owner also, was in attendance—from a con- scientious motive, however. The horse was of fine blood, admirable condition, and the bidding, 10 the owner's great tribulation, be- i came quite spirited. ' Mon Dieu !' he uttered,'' tis rascals shame J fen roe not to speak !' 'One hundred dollars—going- tfloing— , going; magnificent •\iddlejjrfr.se. ffcd k;od,X. in harness. One hundred—thank you—hun- dred and live—going—hundred and ten; sold for no fault'. — /\u25a0 ' Broke my neck tree time,' said the scru- pulous Frenchman, in an agony, and catch- ing the auctioneer by the skirt, the company wondering, meanwhile, what that tall figure behind the salesman was dancing about! ' Hundred and fifteen— twenty —thank yon ; sound in every particular, sure of gait and warranted' ' No, no, no, not warrant!' groaned Mon- sieur. ' Mon Dieu, ' tis swindale I Knock him down wisout de hundred.' The auctioneer, however, considered that his French friend had been swindled, aud he determined that he should suffer as little a* possible from it. He proceeded— ' Hundred and tweuty-five' ' Ten dollars more for me, and stop de sale/ cried the French owner ; but the crowd only saw in him an anxious competitor, and they became more eager. ' Thank you, Monsieur,' continued the aue- tioner. • Hundred and thirty-five—forty— I forty-five—five —fifty—fifty-five—the Napo- leon breed—sixty' ' Diable ! c'nest pas honorable ! Stop~oHf~\ sale! You vas have de constable wis me/ The excitement of the tenacious gentleman became extreme ; and when the hammer at length descended, leaving him a handsome gainer by the sale, he stole away to muse upon the gullibility of man, the frailty of horsef flesh : and the great probability of his beiffit overhauled for something dreadful and sent to the state prison, at least ! Six hours—the? extent of the warrantee—expired, however^ without the horse being returned, and Mon- sieur now rides a finer animal, with an easi- er conscience. [St. Louis Reveille. A MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISER A Story was told me with an assurance that it was. literally true, of a gentleman who, being in want of a wife advertised for one, and at the- time and place appointed, was met by a lady. Their stations in life entitled them to be so- called, and the gentleman as well as the lady was in earnest. He, however, unluckily,, seemed to be of the same opinion as King Pedro was with regard to his wife, Queen Mary of Arragon, that she was not so hand- some as she might be good, and the meeting ended % their mutual disappointment. Cre- l\hs advertised a second time, appointing ». - different square for the place of meeting, and varying the words of the advertisement. He met tbe same lady—they recognized each other-could not choose but smile at the rec- ognition, and perhaps neither of them could} choose but sigh.—You will anticipate the event. The persevering bachelor tried his lot a third time in the newspapers, and at the> - third place of appointment met the equally; persevering spinster. At this meeting neith- er could help laughing. They began to con- verse in good humor and the conversation became so agreeable on both sides, and the circumstances appeared so remarkable, that this third interview led to a marriage-, and the marriage proved a hapy one.— Sonthy.
