THE FATE OF A GENIUS.
"Who has not heard of the famous saying
of the Emperor Maximilian?" 1 can
make a peasant a peer, but I cannot make
es skilful an artist as Albert Durer?" Poor
Albert! Although deservedly honored,
esteemed and supported by the illustrious
patrons of genious and learning who
were his contemporaries, Albert Durer
was a miserable man. He lived under
the dominion of a termigant. His wife a 1
secoud Xtntippe, harrassed him continually;
and his uniform patience and good
nature served only .to increase her pelu
lance and persecution. 11c labored with
untiring assidity, day after day, to produce
those exquisite engravings, by amateurs,
and yet she would reproach him as '
if he were idle and inattentive to the in- 1
terests of his family. Frequently would
she follow him to his studio, and there in
presence of his pupils, pour forth the 1
vials of wrath, and abuse him most vociferously.
Albert, accustomed to such storms, said 1
not a word.
44 But sat like patience upon a monument." 1
"Unrein," says his Teutonic biogra- 1
pher, " he acted like a philosopher; for
if you blow a few .sparks, you may kin.
die a great fire?rif you attempt to stop
the .steam of a kettle, you will cause a
tremendous explosion."
Durer's wife accustomed to associate in 1
her reproaches the name of Samuel Du*
bopcrt with that of her husband. Samuel
was a poor little humpbacked hard-featured
man, who, as he manifested an exC

j>loycd, and occasionally instructed, by
the compassionate Albert. This gratuious
instruction was. altogether at variant
with the principles which this worthy lady
.'had so strenuously advocated.
Dispised and insulted by all but his benevolent
master, unable almost by his labor
to obtain the necessaries of life, what but
ja fondness approximating to ^duration
.could have induced Samuel to perserve in
the.design of being a painter?
He was never happy but when he was
wandering about the lields and woods of
the environs of Nuremburg, admiring the
.beauties of nature, and sketching such
.Objects as particularly attracted his attention.
After passing a leisure day in this
manner, he would return to his work; never
speaking of his country excursions,
and never venturing to show his original
? Q
works. Accustomed to continued raillery,
he supposed that his designs would only '
.expose him to the ridicule of his com- '
panions. I
Excepting these excursions, Samuel* 1
went regularly at day break to his work? '
took his seat in the humblest position, as I
3f.conscious of inferiority to all around,
antl was actually engaged during the hours <
of labor. He would afterwards retire to '
his cottage, and finish on canvass, the 1
.sketches he had made in the country. <
Three years passed away in this man- 1
per, and Samuel hud displayed to no one, 1
not even his master, the works of his la- <
bor to which he had devoted many mid- '
night hours. His toils and privations I
were too great to be endured much longer. <
it. i? ?t - -
ne louno mai ne was very sick; he thuugh 1
he was about to die; and he wept like a '
child. AIus! said he i shall never be a
painter. 4
For a week he was stretched upon his '
miserable bed, and no ono came to ad- 4
minister consolation. His agony and his 1
tears were seen only by his heavenly fa- 4
tbcr. Abandoned by the world, he sought 1
a rcluge in heaven;?ami He M who tern- '
per the wind to (he shorn lamb,1' mitigated
his suffering*. As soon as he was j
'able to walk, a providential impulsed in- <
duced him to endeavor tp dispose of the i
last picture he had pttiuted. I
He put it nnuer his arm, arid went to- I
ward the shop of a broker, determined to A
aell it for whatever be offered. It so hup- t
petted that he passed by a house where [
jnany persons were assembled. IJe dis- c
covered thut was a public sale of valua- I
trie paintings, in consequence of the death c
fit the gentleman who'had collected thein. t
4fter a Hule hesitation, Samuel wenyp
/
/
boldly iulo the house, iftJ enlwuted the I
auctioneer to offer hie picture among the
other articles for sale. The mun agreed
to do so, and estimated it to be worth
three thalers. " Weil,*' said Samuel,
** that will furnish me with food if a purchaser
can be found. Let it go."
The picture waa passed from hand to
hand, while the auctioneer, with a monotonous
voice, exclaimed, three thalers?
who will make an offer?three thalers ?
OK, Mid Samuel, " ray picture will not
be told. What will become of met And
this, too, it my beet picture. I could not
make e better. There ie the Castle of
Newburg, and there are the trees and the
Abbey, end the Pregnits winding along
so beautifully! How many days*-?here hie
soliloquy was interrupted by an individual
who exclaimed,
* Twenty-five thalers.**
Simuel elevated himself as much as
possible that he might see the man who
had pronounced those thrice blessed words.
To his surprise it was the broker to whom
he had intended to sell the picture.
44 Fifty thalers/* said a gemiemw in
black.
Samuel would willingly have embraced
hi?n
. 44 A hundred tlinlers,** cried the broker.
And iu rapid succession the stout gentleman
in black and the broker contended .
for the picture*
44 Two hundred.**
44 Three hundred***
r our Hundred."
"A thousand thalers."
The crowd became interested in the '
matter, and surrounded the rivals who
were thus like two combatunts in a ring. I
Samuel thought he was dreaming, and i
pinced himself several times to ascertain I
whether he was awake.
The stout gentleman thought the -last <
offer would terminate the contest, but was I
mistaken. I
" Two thousand," said the broker, with I
a contemptuous laugh.
44 Ten thousand, cried the other." ]
44 Twenty thousand," exclaimed the t
broker, convulsively elapsing his hands. - t
44 Forty thousand," uttered the other, j
who was eauallv aoitated. ?
J o I
The broker hesitated, but the trium- |
phant look of his antagonist induced him j
to say, (
44 Fifty thousand.**
AH eyes were turned to the slout gen- c
lleman. - <j
44 A hundred thousand,** cried he. |:
44 A hundred and twenty-five thousand,'* c
responded the broker. s
44 The original for the copy?beat that, ^
it you can, sir,'* said the stout gentle- c
man to the broker. The broker morti- h
fied and defeated, left the room, and his v
opponent took possession of the picture. r
And now Samuel came forward, and t
approached the purchaser, who, concev- j
ing him to be a mendicant, was about to t
give him some money; but Samuel, to \
his astonishment, declared himself to be I
the painter of tne picture. o
The gentleman, who was one of the c
most wealthy noblemen in Germany, tore t
n leaf from his pocket book, wrote some t
lines. t
44 Take this, my friend," said he, to f
Samuel, 44 it will put you in possession of [
your property. i
Samuel was no longer poor, and perse- j
cuted, and despised. He was honored hy
the rich, and beloved by the poor. He ]
would frequently say,?44 there is but one t
friend who will never leave you, and he j
is a friend that slickcth closer than a bro- j
ther.** t
The painting which was purchased by i
the nobleman, as we have already rela- \
ted, is now in possession of the King of t
Bavaria. Beautiful as the landscapes of i
Cloude Lorraine are, there is but one i
that surpasses this exquisite picture.

Patrick Henry, however, is not the tl
Dnly orator of our infant republic, who t

courts of justice and the halls of legisla- v
Lion. And to back this assertion, we here
r>ffer the simple story of the events con- c
nected with the "Broken Bond," referred j,
to at the head of this article. i,
Just before the war of the revolution, n
Deacon Dudley C. of Ncwhampshire, ac- tl
(*ompanied Zebina C. his neighboring h
merchant, to the town of Boston. They tl
bad railed on Mr. Frazier, a large impor- e
ler of foreign fabric?; uiih whom Mr. Z. tl
[J. was in the habit of dealing. The e
iearon thoughtful and enterprising, pro- I;
>osed trade also; but the wary citizen do- ?
dined the purchase of his butternut and ft
lickory pi Its, his pickle trout, and hales si
?f peltry; but finally expressed his wish c
o purchaso a drove of cuts, for a ship li
vhich he was about to send to a quarter tt
ot the worM where the animal ?u on- 4
known. But said iho crafty purchaser, t
they roust be trained to the whip, bad to 1
regulate marches across the country to i
ship board, ond then to a rcarket in for- i
sign trade. The deacon thought of toe I
offer, and concluded that as horses, mules, i
horned cattle, sheep,'hogs and turkies I
had heen trained and driven by thousands I
across the country to a market, he could I
not see why the cat also might not be <
trained for the same purpose. At all events |
if he could drive not them he was sure he i
could train them to follow him, for his l
old Tab often followed him to the field and
woods. He therefore concluded to fur* \
nish the drove of cats. A bond was j
drawn and executed, and a large sum of I
money was advanced, in order to enable i
him to proescute his arrangement. On '
reaching his home, the Deacon imme- <
diaicly prepared a room in his garret, and <
began to collect his drove, exercising <
thein every morning under the crack and i
lash of his long whip, to regular marches <
round the room. <
The plan operated favorably while the '

sufficient for free movement; but when he
had assembled a large number opposition
arose; and when the whip was applied to i
force obedince, the whole mass, as by
common consent and simultaneous movement,
pounced upon the poor Deacon,
and would have torn him piecemeal, but
for the timely aid of the family, who
roused by the noise burst the door of the
chamber, and allowed the cats to escape.
The deacon fortunately survived his
wounds returned the money advanced him
by Frazier through the agency of his
n.;?t.kA. n -~.l ?i: r_I?i .L

tract.
The war which ensued called the i
whole strength of the country into the 8
tattle field, and both the high contracting i
parties to the cat contract, did their coun- i
try some little service. <
Some ten years after the peace of 1783 I
Frazer on closing his business, journeyed 1
hrotigh the interior to collect his balances; I
ind among the rest called on the deacon r
'or the fulfilment of his bond, demanding ?
he amount of advance (which the coun- 9
ry merchant had never returned) with 1
merest, and a heavy sum as smart money
or neglecting to perform his covenant. c
This was like a thunderbolt to the cars c
>f the poor Deacon, who had not once
loubled but that the merchant's money '
lad been promptly returned and the bond r
ancelled. Presuming there must be 11
omo mistake in the matter, lie resisted ^
laymeni; and an action was instituted to P
nforce the demand, The cause was ?
irought to an issue at the village of Keene, 1
vhere the good people had just finished a v

he old one elevated some eight or ten 1
eet upon a granite foundation ovct to 1
he purposes of justice. Tnp Honron j1
vhen he found himself drawn into the '
aw, employed the slick-headed,eagle-eyed a
md eloquent Ben. West, to defend his 1
:ausc; and against liirn had been pitted
he young and brilliant J. Mason. From 1
he singular character of the case, the par 11
ics litigant, nnd the high standing of the .v
'ounsul employed, a general interest had 1
>ecn excited; and women and children 11
hronged to the house to a literal stulTing 0
o-hear the story of the Broken Bond. 11
The pleadings were opened by young ^
Mason, with a bold flourish of anticipated v
riumph, frequently mingled with a lerk- s
ng sneer at any serious attempt at tie- e
ience?and he was replied to by the gr.ave 1
ind stubborn charge of o direct and pre- ^
licditaled attempt upon the lite of the r
venerable Deacon,?an officer, who in s
hose days anil among the people, stood s
n sacred relation to the church, next to ?
he minister. v
To sustain this charge, the witty coun- "
el first held the princely clad full powlered
merchant up to the gaze of the
:ourt and crowd, as an old notorious anil
txperienced cat dealer, familiar with all P
heir habits, and so long immured to their 11
ociety, as to have imbibed most rf their S
lature, alleJging that if shut up alone in *1
he jury's lobby, he would instantly mew w
or his old companions. This brought a a
remendous burst of irrepressible laughtei c,
rom the whole crowd, and set the bench ri
n a perceptible titter. When the fit had
airly subsided, he adroitly changed his Ir
ley, and presented the unoffending, grey ^
leaded deacon, cast helpless upon the s1
loor, beset by a hundred furious animals, lJ
nade desperate by hunger and long con- 111
inement?some fastened upon his throat, s<
ucking out his life blood, and others at Cl
lis face, gashing his cheeks and tearing w
ut his eyes with their claws. His pecuiar
picture brought the whole scene be- bi
ore the eyes of the court, the jury and pi
he people whose sympathy was excited rr
o a shower of tears, commingled with l)
udiblc imprecations on the head of the ai
/retch who had plotted the mischief. li

ounsul took instant advantage, and, bear *i

ring and overwhelming, ind was instant- it
Y followed by a continued chorus of cat ai
quails, proceeding from among the very T
set of the spectators, as though the as- hi
igned escort had actually arrived to ac- bi
ompany the aflfrightened merchant on Ic

ind to many nearly fatal. Some fell and !
sere trampled upon, others pitched head*

lesh breaking their bones while others i
eaped from windows twenty feet from j
he ground. The liouse was cleared, nei:hcr
judge nor jury would return to it that i
lay; ihe cause went for the Deacon by
general acclamation?anil a committee
was appointed to investigate the matter
the following day.
Some time after the death of Mr. West,
which happened immediately after the adjournment
of the celebrated Hardford
Convention, of which he was a member,
md which was the only public trnst he
was ever prevailed upon to accept, it was
discovered that he, finding the Deacon's
defence desperate, added stratagem to his
eloquence, and placed the night previous
a number of boys under the floor of the
court-room with cats, who, upon a concerted
signal, were to make their squall.
They were admitted through the rear wall
and after night secretly dismissed.
"Nothing- is beneath the attention of a
Great Man."?This short sentence is inscribed
over the door of the small building,
in Holland, which was once the workshop
;)f Peter the Great; and furnishes, more
than volumes ol common description and
history could do, an insight into the character
of the man who inised the Muscovites
from the deepest barbarism to the
rank of civilization, and laid the foundation
of an Empire, the extent of which

One of the most futal errors io which

small things with contemptuous inditference?forgetting
that great things are but
in aggregate of small ones, and that dis;overies

to the world can be traced to
hings most insignificant in themselves.
Nothing more truly marks an original

which would pass unnoticed by

inferences of the greatest practi:nl
results.

Some children playing wUh glasses off

About one hundred and fifty years ago
an old man might have been seen in his
study, apparently amusing himself by
witnessing the escape of steam from an
old wine bottle, and then instantaneously
by plunging it into cold water. There aro
many even multitudes who would sneer
at an observer of nature who could stoop
to notice such a trifle; yet this expansion
and condensation of steam in th<J wine
bottle, and the train of thoughts which it
suggested, in the hands of the Marquis
of Worcester, gave birth to tho steam engine?the
most valuable present that
science has ever made in the Arts. Thote
very men who are now filled with delight
and astonishment when they boltold the
beautiful steamboat majestically ploughing
the waves, or the slcum-car whirling its
- o
train of carriages over the rail-road with
Almost the rapidity of thought, would be
the tirsl to look and speak with contempt
of the train of causes that led to such important
results.
But perhaps the example of Newton,
more than any other, conclusively prdves
that there is the whole circle of nature,
nothing trilling to a truly great mind.
Thousands had seen apples from the trees
to the earth; yet no one had ever asked
the question whether the cause that caused
the apple to fall to the earth, extends to
the moon??Yet this question, and its
solution, was the key which unlocked
the mechanism of the universe, and given
to man power and ideas that could otherwise
never have been in existence.
The great truth these examples inculcate
is this?=thcre is nothing trifling in na
kuiV| iifimii^ iiiiit is ikii wonny 01 anontion
and reflection, nothing that docs not
form part of the great chain of cause and
effect, and capable, consequently, of leading
to the most valuable and interesting
events. There is an impression abroad,
that it forms no part of the business of
the tiller of the soil to think. This is not
true, and the position should be exploded
at once. It is scarcely possible for a man
to be more favorably situated for an observation
of nature, than is the farmer.
His business is with the soil he treads
upon?with its constituents and their varying
proportions?with the green earth
and its covering of herbs and plants, its
trees and flowers; while overhead is
stretched the broad o'er arching sky, inviting
to useful reflection, and urging him
to ' look through nature up to nature's
God." _

TOMATOE.
There is perhaps no vegetable of equal
raliic, so little known and cultivated in
his country, although we are happy to
>bservo that it is rapidly coming into noice.
There is no vegetable easier pro
luced, none that better rewards the la>ors
of the planter.
It has been in use as an article of luxu-*
y, either raw or stewed, in soups or friasees,
for gravy or catsup, for pickles
r sweetmeats, in the southern part of
he European Continent. In France and
I n I ir ?c tvnil ~c *
? j ,.u Hi.ii mo in iuuii^ ui utir eastern
ities, the lomatoe, or love-apple, is higher
relished and extensively employed in
arious culinary preparations. They arc
steemed by all, salutary as an article of
iet, and I am acquainted with some intanccs
among my acquaintance, and with
lany others through the medium of difirent
publications, in which the free use
f them was followed by rapid and pertancnt
convalescence from disease of the
ver. Indeed as a dietetic luxury, its
tility is so go great and varied, that few
'ho have adopted its use, can be prevail*
d upon to dispense with it.
The Totnatoe plant is a native of the
opical parts of our continent, but will
ourish in our latitude on a good soil with
very little expense of lime and labor,
'he plant of the larger varities grows
ixuriantly and bears cnormods quantities
f fruit. It is stated by the Ohio Farmer,
tat a man near the city of New York re?ivcd
$1800 for the tomatoes he proneed
from half an acre, in 1830. They
ay bo produced from the seed in the
pen air on a warm soil, hut in order to
ivc them in season and the fruit fine and
ell matured the seed should be started
i n hotbed, and transsplanted as soon as
ie weather will admit. If you sow the
ted in the open garden, let it be done as
irly in the spring as may be without en;aring
the young plant to injury from
ost. Sow in rows or plant i'i hills about
' J 1-w or 3 feet a part, according to the
