THE LOST SONG.
, .
It was ray grAndmother's story, oral this,
s how she came to tell it to itto
I,- Annie Rae, had come down to spend
Christmas at " Raeburn," the old family
homestead. My grandmother .and grand-,
father had been abroad,for years, and this
being the first - Christms- for so long - that
the old house was opened, they ' wanted 'to
fill it, w th bright young faces and merry
laughter, to crowd out the voiceless memo
ries which lurked in every corner, and so a,
whole party of ns had come—cousins,,first,
second, third; in fact, - of all degrees. SPeak•
ing of • cousins, isn't it Strange that - very oft-•:
en the fu then removed they are the nearer
they seem? . At least George Stewart was
only my third cousin by blood, and yet, hp,
always assumed more on the strength of our
relatumshipiltah any of my' first cousins;
and; somehow, in my own heart I- didn't
mind it at all, thbugh I did tease. him so. ;
Bat I must go otrwith my. Story. It was'
Christmas Eve, and the-old house was.quiet
at last. • We girls had all gone to our rooms
after: a 'merry evening together. Fannie
and Rose bad the - room near grandma's,
While Kate 'and Lillie Were just opposite,:-
Some one had to sleep Mutant-1110,6111er
end of the hall, and, aftur. lcmg—uansiilta
'lion, it was decided that I should 'go , for I
had rashly boapted of never tieing afraid.—
I will confess to feeling a little lonely when
all was quiet, and the deep shadows* , in 'the
Corners of the room•seemed very dark, for
the light of my candle did not reach, far.—
There were three doors in: my . room, and,
alter fastening securely the one into the en
try I merely turned the Janclies•of the Oth
ers, and finding thtin locked inside ; did-not
care to explore .any ft.rther Just them I
must have been a long time nadressing,, for
the clock struck the ho r of midnight as I.
put out my light. Eve Medi could not go

to Sleep, but found mys if 'wondering What
was behind those doors hat I bad not Open

• He proceeds tO•saythat,if there Were but
two modes of SaVing the- talon he should
prefer to save if by a vote to saving it by a
war. Who wouldn't? Who prefers a war
to a vote? Who ever did prefer it? Did
anybody prefer it in 1860 or '6l? Ile ex
presses the opinion' that If a vote had been
taken at that aline! in the seceding ' States
they would not have seceded, But if he is
mistaken, how then?, If a majority vote to
secede, ' then - what?!. Would -.Mr. 'Greeley
take the result as a proof that the vote was
not " free," or would he let the State go ?
Now mark the evasion, mark what certainly
seems like duptieitY. He first says that if
"the people"—that is, the majority—said
that they wanted distlition, he would con
ent Wit. .But he then adds, if there, were
out two L110011:1 ur 15.0,114.;•tlac,LY4ilint, - 0 - -s-.tv
or a war, "I should prefer the vote." Yet
if the vote were'for secession, it would not,
of course, be a Mode of saving:the 'Union,
and therefore he would resort to war. That
is to say, having declared that if a State vo
ted to secede hewould consent, - he further
declares that as secession would not save
the UnkM,, ; Alien .lie :had aSeertained that
the people wtsKed'lo secede he would 'Make
war to force them to remain. How heartily
the clear-headed and consistent secessionists
must despise their blundering apologist!

any county in any State. This 'speech was,
of course, most carefully considered. It
was intended to show his position upon an
essential question, and-there is - no doubt of
the significance of the words Mr. Greeley
used. . But at Cincinnati hp. Walled every
thing he had 'Sala' Of 'realise his 'aSsertion
that he aid not think the States would have
seceded had they had a fair election (if
no importance, because he had conceded
that the secession of a State might be de
termined by a vote. But the 'moment his
s'peech was printed everybody saw what we
- are now saying; and therefore, an evening
clp two afterwards, he Galled the inevitable
Interpretation of his remarks a misrepresen
tation or. perversion: He said . :
" Those remarks which I made last eve

ment Ido not believe that one State, or
that ten-Slate's., or that even a majority of

What then does Mr. Greeley mean by say
ing that if to-day there Were two Modes of
saying the Union, war or voting; he would
appeal to a " vote of the Southern people?"

.t •
In his speech at Pittsburg, upon one as
pect of whicfi' , we comment elsewhere, Mr.
Greeley grossly insulted the Union soldiers
•Whobad just held their Convention in that
city. = His words, as Mported,
• A very. large number of men Were col
lected here at a vast expense,_with the sin
gle pnrpose.of rckinOling the bitterness and
hatred, the animositids-and antipathies; the
Tears andexultationsl of civil . war for the,
advantage — of a political party." •
, What a total Misrepresentation tins state
mentis everybody who read tile report of
the Pittsburg Convention knows. The.Urt
ion soldiers, as Gen. Hawley has aire,ady
said', received with the warmest welcome a
letter from their former Southern antago
nists; and the real point of the meeting was
carefuliy, defined in the speeches. There
was no word, no tone, no implication of bit
tertieis or hate. The Convention met to say •
that the'great results won by the war should
mit be intrusted to doubtful hands, and that
it saw no reason to suppose that those who
Juul opposed both the principles and the
prosecution of the war would administer
the Government, which has been remodeled
ifPon those principles, more faithfully than
'those who had always maintainedAbent.
This ivits the spirit and the' Voice of the"
.Pittsburg:Convention: And how necessary
it was, that such words should be spoken,'
was immediately Made evident by .Mr: Ghee

How FarmeT are Swindled.
Mr A IMOLA . ,
Two instances of unmitigated swindling
in fruit and vegetables recently came ! under
my own observationi wl4ll will furnish re
liable evidence in establbihing the frequent
charge that commission-sellers of country
products do practice a tricky and an under
handed pail. A_ farmer friend desired•to be
introduced to nn honest commission seller,
who would receive a consignment of Choice
apple, , , :-ell them, and make an honest return
of t he. sale. We sent him the business card
of " John
_Smith &_Co.," of which the lead
ing partner was a prominent officer in a
large and flourishing Protestant chureh,with
the assurance that he could consign his fruit
to that firm with confidence. We were hon
est - in such indorsement: The apples.were
extra fine, all plucked by hand,. and they ar
rivedsin excellent condirion.„ Our friend re
quested us to call and receive the pay, as
soon as they were sold. We called to in
quire about the apples and the pay. ” Call
to-morroty," said the deacon, "and we will
pay you." We called on the morrow, when
he handed us thebill of sale, at $4 per bar
rel less the freight and five per cent. com
mission. "That is too bad," xe exclaimed,
" as we intended to purchase several barrels
of that coesignment, as we wanted* good.
fruit." " You can have all you want of
them," said our deacon friend. "How is
that, when here is the bill of sale and the
pay . for, thent ?" we replied. Said the
deacon " The, apples are virtually sold' , ---
that is, we have computed the actual price
of fruit at the ears, when' old at wholesale:"
"Then the apples have not actually been re-
Ceiced in New York City as yet i ?"said we.
` Well—no--not—not-----" sak the deacon,
as if inn troublesome quandary •" We shall
have them here to-morrow. Call to-morrow,
and we will let you have what you want."
"Now, do tell us," said we, "If that's the
way fruit is sold in--the New York City mar
kets." With a hearty laugh at out unsoph
isticated verdancy the deacon replied: "0,
these fellows awn}{ off in the country don't
knot: anything about the expenses of living
here in ...;ew York, and it really wouldn't
do to let them look into all 'our operations.,
If they get a fair price for their products
they ought to be satisfied with it." We
mailed the hill of sale and the check to our
farmer friend, called at - the sales-stand the
next day when the apples had arrived and
were expo ed for sale. - The fruit was fine
indeed. ' How much for four barrels ?"
we, inquiri d. " Our people think we can
dis Pose of four barrels if the fruit is in good
cendition.r "Six dollars an(d a half per
_ .
barrel," rt?ied a clerk, "I et him have
what he Nants," said the der con, „ at six
dollars; he sent us this cult mer, and he
can't atiOrd to work for nothin ." We paid
for the fruit and ordered it to iiur residence.
But ever since we have beenin an uneasy
quandary lest some of these New York
sharpers who are tearing up the bottom stone
of " Old Tammany's" rotten underpinning
should get after us with their pointed mar
lin' Sticks, for our apparent complicity in
the sale of this fruit, for which .our farmer
friend received, through our hands, $3 80
net cash per barrel, while we paid $0 per
barrel, the ft uit having been sold but once.
The seller professed to receive five per cent.
for , :clling, when he actually received t 1,2 20
cash per 'barrel. The freight to New York
was deducted out of the producers' money.
In another instance a New Jersey g irdener
consigned his squashes, receiving on y $1 50
; 1
per barrel, with which he was not s distied.
Immediately after forwarding a ch ice lot
•he came in person to New ;York, a d em
ployed an agent, in disguise, to go to the
consignee's sales-stand and inquire t e price,
as if he wished to purchase. The real own

buyer app aced, purchased the lot at $3 per

.
The next ay a clerk was sent with an order
to collect the returns for the squtishes. The
seller made out his hill of sale at $1 50 per
barrel, less the freight and commission, and
paid the order.
,On the day following the
owner of the
, ; squashes called in person,
showed 'the hill of sale, informed the gen

sale of the consignment, and, gave him the'
choice of comingt down with $1 50 per bar
rel inure, or of responding to an official• in
vitatiOn to walk up to the " Captain's office"
and have a legal hearing over a "diet of

Breeding Mares, •
The New England Farmer observes th t
the first error intb which most breeders fa i l
is in attempting to make the mare subsery
ient to two or three distinct uses. Very few
set apart the best mare they have for the
purpose of breeding, and treat her consist
ently for that end. On the contrary; in
most instances, they do not think of prep
agating from an animal until its body has
been injured and its vitality weakened by
unreasonable service through .a series of
years. , They do not conceive that there can
be pay outrage committed upon charity by
bleeding from a body which through a life
of service had earned a right to rest. So
that mares crippled by too early 'labor, or
disabled by disease, are generally Sound to
be the animals selected as the, m 'thers of
future racers, A competent judge uquires:
"Has it never occurred to the breeder
that it might probably be as profitable to
keep the most promising colts sacred to
breeding purposes; that, simply as a paying
speculation, it might answer to do for the
courser what the agriculturists have done
for the land—only with the difference, that
whereas one desires bulk,•the other should
aim at courage, strength, and speed ? An
imals, it well cured for, would, in all prob.
ability, bring forth liner specimens of hOrse
flesh than either of their parents or their
progenitors. 'These foals, being selected and
kept apart wild the sixth year, might gen
erate young which w ould sweep the land."

How to Treat a Horse.. '
Some English giooms at Saratoga are
teaching the," Yankees" how to take care
of a horse, - I. ,
To-day II asked one of the brooms, li - ho
has spent twenty years in the stables of roy
altn what he had t I o say about our Ameri
can way of taking care of a horse.
" Why, sir," said he, " you don't take
good care of your horses; you think you do,
but you don't."
"Why ?" I asked.
"Because, when a horse conies in all wet
with perspiration, you let him stand in the
stable and dry with all the dirt n. In Eng
land, we take the horse as he co nes in from
a drive and 'sprinkle blood-warn water all
over hint, !MI /ifs head to his l'eci, Then we
serape him down and blanket !dm, rubbing
Iliii lei l :s and feet dry. Thus in an hour he
is clean and dry, and ready to take a good
feed, while, with your way, he will stand
and swelter for hours, and finally dry, sticky
and ditty. Our horses never founder and
Over take cold. We never use a curry-comb.
You scratch your horses too hard. The only
care necessary is to have the water not very
,cold, then bathe them quick and blanket
them instantly, while .you are rubbing their
legs." ,
