From every mountain side,

And the moon shone as bright,
Yet it was not my own native land.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
The right hand of friendship
How oft have I grasped,
And bright eyes have smiled and looked
bland,
Yet happier tar,

" Yes, one of onr oldest citizens."

" Well, I thought so. I think he is
one of• the most sociable men I ever
met with in all my lire. Wonderfully

[From the New York Stock Journal.]
A Horse Bought and a Lawyer Sold.
I had a wife and three small children.
My office was in Boston, and we lived
in an adjoining town. I needed the
exercise of riding, and a drive now and
then, toward evening with my family,
would be good for us ill, We had
formerly lived in the country; where
everybody keeps horses, and a horse
seemed really necessary to our comfort,
and so I determined to buy one. I bad
owned several . horses in my day, and
knew something of horse-flesh, and I
had been engaged in several horse-cases
in court, and of course I knew, as every
man of observation knows, that horses
are a dangerous commodity to deal in.
Being, however, forewarned, and' being
a lawyer, I felt no apprehension that I
could not look pretty well after one side
of a bargain.
Before trying to buy an article, I
always make up my mind exactly what
I want. Then lam not misled by every
foolish fancy, as one is liable to be tltt►t
looks through the market for something
that suits him.
The horse I would buy must be a good
'Sadie-horse, a pacer or ambler under
tho saddle, but of course a square trot
ter in harness, He must be young and
sound, of handsome, sprightly figure,
kind as a kitten, never needing the
whip, but yet safe for my wife to drive,
not afraid of the engine, fast or slow at
the driver's option. I had heard of such
animals, and seen theni advertised, and
if I had not happened to see one that
exactly answered the description, it was
probably because I had not been look
ing particularly after him.
When it became known that I was in
want of a horse, it Was really amusing
to see the attempts made to deceive
me. They evidently thought I was a
green hand at the business, and that I
was a fit subject for any imposition.
One fine-looking animal was brought
me, that to a careless observer, would
have seemed nearly perfection. He had
a slight cough, but the owner assured
me it was nothing, only a slight cold
the horse had taken the day before, by
standing in a draught. He could not
deceive me; I had owned a horse with
the heaves, years ago, and advised , him
to take his worthless beast to somebody
who did not know so much about horses.
Another would have suited me exactly,
but he had several scars on his legs,
caused, as the dealer said, by breaking
throtigh the stable floor. I inquired a
little, and ascertained that he had taken
fright, upset the carriage, and gone home,
two miles, on a dead run, with the for
ward wheels, into his stall, carrying with
him a hay-cutter and a grindstone that
stood 'in the floor, and so had cat him
self to pieces trying to kick• away the
fragments.
Another had an interesting strap- on
his ankle, having lately been badly shod.
I saw through the poor falsehood at
once
I think I should have bought one of
a dealer whom I knew, and who assured
me he would not for the world deceive
me, had not the singular animal exhibit
ed the unfortunate eccentricity of stand
ing on his forelegs exclusively at inter
vals, when . I attempted to ride him out
ward from the stable, owing, probably,
to the defective nervous organisation:
I determined to have no more to do
with dealers, halo keep a sharp look
out for myself, and when I found the
right kind of an animal to "buy him, even
if I had to pay a high price.
Walking one afternoon from. Cam
bridge to Somerville, I rested a moment
by the hawthorn hedge at the foot of
Kirkland Street, and looking back I
observed a beautiful black horse, sur
mounted by an elderly cadaverous gentle
man, who had somewhat the air of a
clergyman. The horse was moving at
an easy ambling pace, scarcely faster
than a walk, the rein hanging loosely on
his neck, while the rider was serenely
reading a newspaper. I mentally ex
claimed, " I have found him at last."—
I accosted the traveler, 'and passing by
the details of our conversation, it is
sufficient to say that the animal was
everything that could be- desired, 'and
although it would well nigh break the
hearts of the owner's ' family to part
with him, he could be bought for the
moderate sum of two hundred and fifty
dollars.
It may be interesting to the reader,
although somewhat premature; to learn
what I afterwards discovered, that' the
owner's family" consisted of one hull:
tarriea pup which slept with * him ' in a
stable-loft every night.
I met the owner by appointment next
day, my office in Boston. He had
been employed, he said, as traveling
agent of a Boston house, and had no
farther use for the horse ; he would give
me a written warranty 'of the animal as
perfectly sound and kind ; indeed. I
might take him home for a week, and
try him, and see' for myself. Nothing
could be fairer than this. I took my
prize to my stable, I kept him a full
week, I rode him and drove him daily ;
my wife rode him and drove him. My
admiration of him increased. He was
to all appearance 'Sound and kind. Hi
was fast or slow, as I chose to have him.
Ile would face the cars without winking,
and stand without tying. In short, he
was a perfect horse, At the end of the
week I paid the price, took a written
warranty, and went home rejoicing in
my success. Every horse Should have
a name, and we determiried• to call this
one, on account of his many &cid quali
ties, Honesty. For a few days. I was
engaged constantly in , a long trial in
court. The horse' stood still in his
stable, well fed and well groomed, so as
to be in the best condition for use when
my leisure days should come. Barney
said one day that he had harnessed
Honesty to the wagon to bring home
some oats from the store, and that .he
refused for some time to start from the
yard. However, Barney was no horse
man, and I thought that the fault was
in his. awkwardness in handling the
reins. A day or two late; my wife's
brother took her with the children out
for a drive with Honesty, in the carry
all, and she reported that the animal
insisted on going up Beacon Street in
stead of Tremont Street, where they
wanted to go. This did
,not seem ex
actly right, but still I had felt faith that
Honesty would prove all right when I
held the reins. •
Finally, my trial in court was finished,
and there was to be a Pic-nic near Fresh
Pond, where all my friends were going,.
I had bought a new light' top buggy,
and harness to' match, and wife and I
drove rip. Honesty was in high feathers,
and made the new carriage spin along
like a linen wheel. We . passed the
afternoon in the woods, and when our
team was brought up for our return,
everybody was attneted. by our elegant
.turn-out. I confess I felt not a little
pleased with this universal ap.preciation
of my taste. 1 don't know why it is,
but everybody considers a compliment
to his horse' as fully equivalent to one
to himself. We bade adieu to our adi
-
miring friends, I handed my wife into
the carriage, gathered up the ribbons,
and waved my band by way of partidg
salutation.. 'Honesty pawed, but did not
'move forward. I chirruped and shook
the reins. Honesty shook his head; and
gave a significant snort. A friend' took
him by the bit, when he stepped rapidly
backward, till the new. baggy brought
up against a tree. I touched him with
the whip, when he reared and snorted,
and my wife screamed. "Don't whip
him," cried a friend; "whipping never
does any good to a contrary• horse."—
"He is an old offender,, I see by his
actions," said another, most inconsider
ately.
The details of the exhibition are not
agreeable to dwell ripen. Neither coax
.
ing, nor whipping, nor pushing,' nor any
thing whatever, could induce that
to even draw the empty carriage out of
its tricks.. I asked a friend to take my
wife home, add, leaving niy elegant
carriage, ignominiously led the obstinate
brute to a stable near by; and left him
for the night. °
"A* sadder and a wiser man I woke
the morrow morn." I persevered with
Honesty,yet awhile, but after being kept
two hours, by his stopping in a rainy
night, on Cambridge, bridge, on one oc
casion, and being obliged to leave him
in the stable-yard, when in great haste
to meet an engagement at Lexington, I
reluctantly concluded that he was not
perfectly kind. My Wife had long since
declined further experiments with him.
I was puzzled whether to admit myself
duped and nheated, - or 'attempt to cure
'the defect. I rode the beast .
ally, and sometimes drove him, with
various sn'ccess. One day, I had ' busi
nese at - Concord, at the county court,
and with'i friend - drove into'that-bea.uti
ful village just at sunset. Court had
just adjourned for the day, and my
brother lawyers, and clients, and jurors,
and witnesses, werer lounging about the
hotel and the old elm on the common.
Just as we came in front of the Middle-
TerTY - Is—Orie Dollar a Year
sex hotel I observed my horse suddenly
to falter ; then he stopped, throwing up
his head, and jerking' it sideways in a
manner remarkable to see, seemed quite
bewildered. "lie has a fit ;" "jump
out or you will get hurt," cried the
multitude, which at once surrounded us.
My friend oheyed the call,
• and I at
tempted to do so,,just as the distracted
beast sallied backward over the shaft,
"and Mortham, steed and rider fell."—
Down we
.came in one miscellaneous
heap, the carriage essentially smashed,
and his owner, vexed and discomfited.—
A few days proved that Honesty was
subject to frequent attacks , of this kind.
But had I not a warranty, and am I
not a lawyer? Straightway I commenc
ed an action for deceit. It is &proverb
at the bar, that a lawyer who tries his
own case has a fool for his client. I
summoned and paid witnesses; I con
sulted and paid Dr. Dadd, and other
experts. The case was tried, and all
Middlesex county was made to under
stand how a lawyer had been cheated by
a jockey. The• jury rendered a verdict
in my favor for $125 damages, probably
upon the idea that a lawyer, ought not
to recover more than half that he is
cheated out of. I gave my execution to
an officer, with orders to arrest' the
rascal, and told my •counsel to oppose
him at every step, and follow him to the
end of the law.
After a few menths, my attorney sent
for me, and gave me the result of fob
lowing my directions. The defend'ent
had been committed to jail where he
had quietly remained several weeks,
appearently happy in the consciousness
that by the .beneficent provisions of
laws, I, his creditor, was paying $1.75
per 'week for his board. Then he. had
given notice of his intention to avail
himself of a further beneficent provision
of our statutes by taking the poor
debtor's oath. My counsel had faithfully
obeyed instructions, and opposed him
there, paying for me,.accordirig to law,
$2 per day to the commissioner., while
the examination was pending. Finally
the vagabond had succeeded in swearing
out, and my various bills amounted to
about the amount I had first paid, $250.
The enemy was free, but I was . not.—
.
I still had that "dreadful horse," worse
than Mr. Pickwick's, that nobody would
take away. A neighboring horse-dealer
offered me $5O, and I sold him, and Cook
his note for the amount. A few . days
after t. asked him what he had :done
with hid. He said he •had advertised
him to sell at a horse sale in the city.
I had a rational curiosity to see=the
advertisement,: and asked him to show
it to me, which ha. did, and. it ran. as
follows A -131ack,Saddle .Horse. A
particularly fine, black, saddle horse,
perfectly sound and kind, in all respects,
and free from.tricks."
1 dont know how ranch he got tor his
fine saddle horse. I only know that I
still hold his worthless note for $5O.

Delaware has according to the census
oflB6o, eighteen hundred and five slaves,
and the sum asked of Congress for their
gradual emancipation amounts to five
hundred dollars a head. The
V 1 ilming

largest slavehcplders are in favor of this
bill, and that "many of the slaveholders
would gladly exchange their slaves for
money, which they could use in payment
for their lands and contemplated im
provements."
fiiiif• There is not the least doubt that
Col. Fry, of the Kentucky Fourth, killed
Gen. Zollicoffer. Col. Fry took from
his body the field-glass, which was iden
tified as the one owned by Major He'yeti
at the time he was taken prisoner by
the rebels. Col. Fry also has the coat
sad watch taken from the body. The
watch has the name of F. K. Zollicoffer
engraved upon it. This statement is
made in justice to Col. Fry, because
there are at least hallo dozen different
men claiming the honor of killing this
famous rebel. The body has other
wounds, but only one of them, and that
the mortal one, is apistol:shot; and Col.
Fry is the only one who used a revolver
on the occasion. The ball from the
rebel officer passed through the clothes
of Cpl. Fry, upon his right aide, slightly
fracturing his akin.
