bring Fix hundred dollars or the colt; and I've con¬ 
cluded I shall do one or the other, sure as preach¬ 
ing, anyhow.’’ 
‘‘Six hundred!" said I; “why don't you say a 
thousand at once, Jem?” 
“ Wal, he’s wutli a thousand—but you shall hev 
him for just six hundred, ef you want him now.” 
Jem took up the ribbons. The colt arched his 
beautiful neck, and was about to turn away. I was 
beaten. 
“Put him in the stable, Jem.” said I; “I'll take 
him—though it’s an awful price.” 
And thus I became the owner of my first fast 
horse. 
The landlord laughed. The 'ostlers laughed. 
Jem laughed—so they said; and I was half-inclined 
to laugh myself, at the Vermonters management. 
Still I bad got a fine colt—I was sure of this—and 
so, two weeks after my little New Year’s day adven¬ 
ture, I found myself on the Bloomingdale road, in a 
natty New York cutter, skimming sharply over the 
newly made snow path, and beating with ease most 
of the dashers that Irequent that splendid thorough¬ 
fare of the fast uns." 
My colt quickly attracted the attention of the 
crowd of horsemen there, and one among their 
number, who was wealthy, and who knew what a 
good nag was, very Bhortly waited upon me, and 
bantered me for my purchase. 
“ He’s a good ’un,” said I. “and cost me high.” 
“ What will you sell him for?” he asked. 
“Twenty-five hundred dollars.” I answered, with¬ 
out winking. 
The man of fortune drew a long breath, looked 
the house over at his leisure, and then drew his 
check for the amount—somewhat to my surprise, I 
confess. 
Two years afterwards my six hundred dollar colt 
had become famous for his superior Fpeed and bot¬ 
tom, and the present owner, to rny certain knowl¬ 
edge, has more than once refused a bona fide offer 
of five thousand dollars for his splendid trotter. He 
has made his mile in 2:26. repeatedly, and is now 
among the fastest horses in America. 
My only regret is, that when 1 parted with him, I 
did not possess the talents of my Vermont friend in 
disposing of him. I am now certain that I sold my 
colt too cheap. 
“Yes. The slipping will be fine, and I would 
like to buy a good horse,” I added, “ if I can light 
on one that suits me every way, and does not come 
too high.” 
Jem Saltum knew all this before. But I did not 
know whether he wished to sell, and I thought he 
didn’t 
“ Yes. Wal, then, to-morrow we'll take a turn 
with the colt, and you shall see him go. But as 
near as I can calk’late from what the old man said 
when I left home, he don’t keer to sell him any 
way.” 
And with this consolatory remark he fell sound 
asleep (or appeared to) before the big bar-room fire. 
At an early hour the next morning I met Jem 
again, and gave him ihe customary salutatibn of the 
season. 
“ Happy New Year, Fir!” said I pleasantly. 
“Wal. yes, so it is New Year’s day—au’ a very 
nice ’un it is.” 
“ How's the pony this morning?” I inquired. 
“Oh, nicely; never better. Yas, I see. You’re 
the gentleman as spoke about him last night,” 
“Yes, and we’ll give him a trial when you are 
ready,” I added. 
“Yas, we'll try him—hut I don’t believe the old 
man cares to sell him,”

Not a sigh for these, with their maims and scars.

Or the horrible deaths of war? 
Where, where should a brave man’s death be found? 
And what is a true heart for? 
Cheer? cheer! for these men! Ah! they knew when 
Was the time for true heart to die! 
How their Hag sank, apeak will flush the brave cheek 
While this earth shall hang iu the sky! 
In the bubbling waves they fired their last,

insisted Jem. 
However, we got aboard a light cutter, and at 
last we started for a jaunt, to test the speed and 
mettle of the horse I had been so favorably struck 
with at first sight, and away we went, followed by 
half a dozen good ’tins, rigged out at the tavern sta¬ 
bles, to see and help enjoy the promised sport. 
The handsome bay colt proved a “flyer.” How 
fast he could trot I could not pay; but be distanced 
all competitors for a mile—two, five, six, seven 
miles—and turned to the hotel in gallant style, at 
his top gait, without showing the slightest sign of 
distress. He was a splendid roadster, and just what 
I wanted. 
“What do you ask for him?” said I at last 
“ Wal, as I said before, I don't believe the old man 
keers to part with him—leastwise he could get two 
hundred and a half for him.” 
“ That's a big price for a five year old,” I said. 
“Wal, be aint. no fool of a colt The old mau 
wont take no less.” 
“ I’ll give you two hundred dollars,” I said. This 
was a round sum for a horse in those days. 
“No; the old man wouldn't be satisfied,” insisted 
Saltum; and he turned his horse's head to the sta¬ 
bles aB 1 entered. 
I concluded very shortly to take the colt, at Jem’s 
price, however, and about an hour afterwards, said: 
“Well, Saltum, I think I’ll trade with you. It’s 
too much for a five years old, but I'll give you two 
hundred and a half.” 
“Wal,” said Jem slowly, “I don’t think the old 
tnan'd like to sell him for that anyhow; and I guess 
I’ll take him to the city, where I ll get his value.” 
“ But you only asked two hundred and fifty for 
the colt.” 
“ Wal. you didn’t take me up, eyther, did ye?” 
“Not at the moment- I—” 
“ Wal, sharp's the word, yer know, in a hoss trade. 
But I’m quite sartain the old man wouldn’t be satis¬ 
fied with less than three hundred.” 
“Three hundred!” I exclaimed. “Well, I wont 
do it, that’s all.” 
“No more I wouldn’t, mister, if I was you. Cos 
you can’t alters tell about a five year old, if he is 
smart and putty. He might break down; and I can 
sell him in the city easy.” 
I wanted the horse, but I let him go, and did not 
see Jem Saltum till afternoon, w'hen he turned the 
nag out for exercise again, and whisked up and 
down before the door, to the admiration of every¬ 
body who saw him. 
“ Saltum,” I said, “come, I didn’t mean to do it, 
but 1 like your horse. Give me a bill of him. I’ll 
take him at three hundred, though it’s a great price 
for him.” 
“Well, mister,” said the scamp coolly, “since this 
mornin’ I’ve made up my mind that he can go faster 
than we thought he could, and 1 can take three hun¬ 
dred and a half for him of a man up the road here. 
I’ve therefore concluded that the old man wont be 
satisfied unless I do the best I can; though, railly, I 
don’t believe the old man would allow me to sell 
him any way.” 
“Confound the old man, and his colt, too!” I said, 
not a little vexed at the sharp practice of my green- 
appearing friend from Vermont. “You get no four 
hundred dollars out of me for that horse.” 
“ No, f spose not, mister. But there need not be 
no hard feelin’a atween us. lie’s a dreadful good 
colt, and the old man wouldn’t be satisfied unless he 
brought him a good price, I’m sure.” 
With these words Saltum returned his dashing 
pony to the stable once more. 
1 was bound to buy this horse, and think now that 
Jem Saltum knew it. But four hundred dollars was 
an awful figure, I thought. Still fearing that the 
fellow would dodge me again, f mustered courage, 
and before 1 retired at night I said, good naturedly. 
as Jem sat sucking his flip: 
“Well, Saltum, we have had a good deal of talk.” 
“ Yas, we hev.” 
“ And I like your horse.” 
“ I know you do.” 
“ And 1 11 give you four hundred dollars for him, 
though I never believed I should be such a fool as 
to pay like this for a single horse.” 
The Vermont sharper shook his flip mug, and 
drained it to the bottom slowly, and replied: 
“After all we’ve said, mister, there aint no man 
I’d rather hev that hoss than you. But I'm bound 
to do what's right, an’ at the same time I must not 
forget the old man that raised the colt. Ef I can’t 
get five hundred for the pony, I don't believe the 
old man would be satisfied, an’ I’ve concluded to 
take him back to Vermont accordingly.” 
“Five hundred dollars!” I yelled; “why, you’re 
crazy. Or, perhaps you think i"m a fool,” 1 added, 
rising. “Good night, sir. I trust you’ll get five 
hundred dollars for your five years old. That is a 
hundred a year exactly.” 
And I went to bed in high dudgeon. 
“ He’s plaguey quick at figures, anyhow,” replied 
Jem drily, as I retired. And very shortly afterward 
went to bed himself. 
When I came down the next morning, the colt 
stood in the sleigh at the front door, and Jem was 
just ready, apparently, to leave. The golden op¬ 
portunity to become the owner of a really fine ani¬ 
mal was about to pass from me, and I coveted the 
beast, inwardly and in earnest. 
“ Which way, Jem?” I asked. 
“To tow 7 n; atore night I’m going to hev my price 
for this colt, or my name aint Jem Saltum.” 
“ How much do you ask for him to-day?” said I, 
tartly. 
“Wal, mister, I’ve thought it all over, and as 
good horses aint plenty just now, I’ve made up my 
mind that the old man never’d be satisfied if 1 didn’t

THE OLD MAN’S COLT, 
The snow was falling right cheerily on the last 
day of the year 186-, and already there lay upon 
the ground suflicient to make most excellent sleigh¬ 
ing. The youngsters were enjoying the fun in the 
roads, the country sledges were rattling by, filled 
with rosy-cheeked girls and merry lads; the more 
elegant turn-outs from the city, fourteen miles dis¬ 
tant, occasionally flitted past the tavern dour, where 
I w’as tarrying temporarily, and the season was 
peculiarly gay, as the holidays were passing away. 
In the bar-room of the country hotel where I 
sojourned. I bad right heartily enjoyed the various 
samples of human character I met, and I had, for a 
week, day and evening, the opportunity of listen¬ 
ing to the “yarns” of the villagers, orof the numer¬ 
ous visitors who congregated in the old tavern, 
which had for many a long year been the resort of 
hundreds of farmers, cow boys, horse jockeys, and 
travelers of one kind or another, en route to and 
from the city, or homeward bound. 
I had given out among the settlers that I wished 
to purchase a good horse—if one chanced to turn 
up during my stay at the tavern—and all hands 
were on the lookout for me; for it was understood 
that I would pay for such an animal as I fancied, a 
liberal price. 
Whether any of my newly made acquaintances 
aided the seller or not, 1 never knew; but there 
came along on this afternoon alluded to. the last 
day of December, 185-, a young man from Vermont, 
(so he said, and I guess he did,) who drove, up to 
the tavern door a gayisb looking beast that attracted 
my attention at once, for he was a good stepper, and 
he came in in gallant style. 
“Who-a!” shouted the driver; and he jumped 
from the heavy old sleigh upon the door-step, and 
flung the reins carelessly over the dasher, as the 
stable-boy came to look after the new arrival. 
“That’s Jem Saltum,” said one of the bar-room 
loungers. “ He’s from Brattleboro’, and he’s got. a 
good ’un. lie never comes down with anything but 
good ’uns, eytber." 
Perhaps this remark w T as intended for my benefit, 
and perhaps not. I heard it, but seemed not to 
observe it. 
An hour afterwards Jem Saltum ensconced him¬ 
self before the great bar-room fire, and commenced 
leisurely to smoke a short six. I had been out to 
the stable and examined bis colt, a beautiful bright 
bay, with heavy tale and mane, well put together 
in limb, and very stylish in action—and 1 concluded 
to buy him. As yet I had said nothing to Jem 
Saltum, however, and he had preserved a marked 
silence on entering the house. I waited for Jem 
Saltum to open on me or some one around; but he 
finally seemed dropping into a doze. 
It was a cold night, the 31st day of December. 
185-. The snow had ceased falling, and the pros¬ 
pect of glorious good sleighing was never more 
promising. I waited for him to begin, but he said 
not a word about his horse, and so I went to him. 
“A good looking nag you drove down to-day,” I 
remarked to him, by way of commencement. 
He did not reply, but opened bis eyes lazily, then 
continued to geem to be sleeping, 
“A young ’un?” I queried. 
“Did you speak to me, sir?” he asked, looking up. 
“I was saying you had a nice-looking colt.” 
“Oh, yas. That’s the old man’s that is.” 
“For Bale?” 
“No—not edzactly. That is, I reckon the old 
man wouldn’t agree to sell tor no reasonable price.” 
“ Who’s the old man you speak of?” 
“Who? Why he’s my uncle; the man I live 
with.” 
“ What are his qualities?” 
“Whose? The old man’s?” 
“No; the colt's.” 
“Oh, I thought you meant my uncle. Wal, the 
hoss is what we call, up’n our country, a good ’un. 
He gets up well all around, isfive years old, coming 
six, square trotter, way down in the forties, sound 
as a new dollar, good size, never shies or bolts, 
’fraid of nothing but a whip, and on the road he 
takes it all his own way. I doo’t think the old 
man’ll sell, though, anyhow,” continued Jem; and 
he turned around and began to settle himself down 
in his chair for another nap. 
I made up my mind to purchase that colt, or at 
least to try him, so I added: 
“ How fast?” 
“I told you just now that he was cornin’ six, and 
could foot it down in the forties. That’ll do, I 
reckon, for a five year old, stranger.” 
“Y r e8, yes; have you any objection to let me see 
him move.” 
“ None in the world, sir. To-morrow, if you 
wish,” 
THE KING’S HEART’S-EASE.-A FABLE 
There was once a king who had a very beautiful 
garden, with grounds arranged with taste, to please 
the eye, to afford refreshing shade, retired walks, 
commanding views, and, besides, all the delightful 
fruits that could be procured. There was one 
superb old oak, so high and grand, that could be 
seen for miles around. There were roses and lilies, 
and flowering shrubs of every kind; in short, noth¬ 
ing was wanting to make it a most perfect spot 
One day the king’s head gardener came and ex¬ 
claimed: 
“O king, pray come and see what is the matter 
with your garden—everything is wilting, drooping, 
and dying!” 
While he spoke the other gardeners came running 
in, and all had the same story to tell. So the king 
went out, and there found all as they had said. He 
went up to the first grand old oak tree, his pride 
and admiration, and said: 
“ Why, oak. what is the matter with you, that you 
are withering and dying away?” 
“Ob,” said the oak, “ I don't think I am of any 
use, I am so large and cumbersome; I bear no fruit 
or flowers, and I take up so much room; and, be¬ 
sides, my branches spread so wide and thick that it 
is all dark and shadowy under them, and no flowers 
or fruit can grow there. Now, if I were a rose-bush, 
it would be worth while, for I should bear sweet 
flowers; or if I were a peach or a pear tree, or even 
like the grape vine, 1 could bear you fruit” 
The king next went to his favorite rose bush, and 
said; 
“ Well, rose bush, what is the matter with you ?— 
why are you so drooping?” 
“Why,” said the rose bush, “I am of no use; I 
can bear no fruit, I have nothing but flowers. If I 
were an oak, like that one in the middle of the 
grounds, I should be of some use; for then I could 
shelter you. I could be seen for miles around, and 
be an honor to your garden; but as it is, I might 
just as well die.” 
The king then went to the grape vine, no longer 
clinging to the trellis and trees, but trailing sadly 
on the ground. He stopped and said: 
“ Grape vine, what is the matter with you? Why 
are you lying so dolefully on the ground?” 
“ Ah,” said the vine, “you see what a poor, weak 
creature I am; I don’t even hold up my own weight, 
but must cling to a tree or post, and what can I do? 
I neither give shade like the oak, nor bear flowers 
like the shrubs: I always must depend for support 
upou something else, and surely I am of no use.” 
On went the king, quite in despair to see his place 
going to destruction; and it grieved him to think 
that tor all the kind oare and attention he had lav¬ 
ished upon his garden, he was to be repaid by 
murmuring and repining. But he suddenly spied 
a little heart’s-ease (a small flower) low down on 
the ground, with its face turned up to him, looking 
as bright and smiling as possible. 
He stooped and said: 
“You dear little beart’s-ease! what makes you 
look so bright and blooming, when everything 
around you is withering away?” 
“ Why,” said the heart’s-ease, “ I thought you 
wanted me here; if you had wanted an oak, you 
would have planted an acorn; if you had wanted 
roses, you would have set out a rose bush; if you 
had wanted grapes, you would have put in a grape 
vine. But I knew what you wanted of me was to 
be heart’s-ease; so 1 thought I would try to be the 
very best little heart's-ease that ever I could!”
