THE BALLAD OF BREAKSECK.
BY KISS x. c. rice
The mi shinM oat on the mountain erf St:
Far down the valley the thadows fall;
AW -rimm and gold is tlio glowing west;
And wheeling an.1 spirting the eagles call.
Tli- gnod ship rides with a filling sail;
The f ailors are Ailing, "Away 1 away!
W must Ft cm the tide ere the north wind fail;
The night and the breeze brook no delay."
The yoang mate lingers upon the strand
Near a ducky maiden with flashing check;
In hi broad brown palms he holds her hand,
And cagernnd low are the words theytpcak.
"Weep not, Nckama; I shall return;
Wait for me on the mountain ride;
When the woods in their autumn glory barn,
I shall come again to claim my bride."
Slowly the Indian lifts ht r head;
Dry is her cheek, clear her eye,
"Nrkama will wait as thou hast said; -
The ton cf the pale face cannot lie.
Seeking the sails on the stream below,
Under the shade of the tall nina tree.
When the beeches arc gold and the sumachs
clow.
From the mountaia-top I shall watch for
thec."
Tho sailors are calling: the broad sails flap:
Erom his neck Dirck looses his great gold
chain,
Flings the gleaming links in Nekama's lap.
Then springs to the shallop's stern again.
Tho stoat ash bends to the rowers' will
Till the small boat reaches tho vessel's side,
When he turns to Nekama, waiting still,
Sad, but calm in her savage pride.
Bails the ship under high Cro' Nest,
Wearing and tacking in Martyr' Reach,
While Dirck looks back with a man's unrest,
And Kekama lingers upon the beach.
Fade the sails to a vague white speck;
Loom the mountains hazy and tall;
Dirck watches still from the vessel's deck,
And the girl moves not, though the night
dews fall.
A year has passed, and upon the hills
Scarlet and rnsset have faded to brown;
Ko sound is heard but the flowing rills;
The summer's voices are hushed and gone.
Tho late sad crow en a bare beech top
Caws and swings in an autumn wind;
The dead leaves fall and the acorn's drop
Breaks the stillness and scares the hind.
Wrapped in her blanket Nckama stands,
Scans the horizon with eager eye.
Late he lingers. She clasps her hands,
And a sadners dims ber wido dark eye.
Is It a mist o'er tho distant shore?
Look how the maiden's dusky face
Glows and brichtens! A moment, moro,
And the white speck changes, and grows
apace.
"Ho comes! he comes!'' From the wigwams
near
Gather the braves and squaws again;
The men arc decked with arrow and spear,
And the women of wampum and feathers vain.
Flecked is tho river with light canoes,
Laden with gifts for tho welcome guest;
The spoils of the chase let him freely choose;
Close to the ship aro the frail barks pressed.
Brown and still as a bronze relief,
Shyly Nekama keeps her place
Behind her father, the Mohawk chief,
Who, plumed and tall, with a painted face,
Grasping a spear in his nervous hand,
Looking in vain one face to see,
Turns and niters his proud demand;
'Dirck Brandsen comes not: where lingers
he!"
"Dirck stays in Holland," the sailors say;
'He has wedded a dame of wealth and state;
He sails no more for many a day
God send us all like happy fate!"
Dark grows the brow of the angered sire;
Can the white man lie like a Huron knave?
The eves of the maiden burn like fire.
But her mien is steady, her words arc brave.
From her bosom she drags the great gold chain
Dashed at the captain's feet it lies:
"Take back to the traitor his gift again:
Kekama has learned how a pale faco lies!"
Proudly she steps to her light canoe;
Bends ber paddle at every stroke;
The graceful bark o'er the waters flew,
Nor wist they a woman's heart had broke.
Up the monntain Kekama hies;
Stands in the pine-tree's shade again:
Scans the scene with her wido wild eyes;
Moans like a creature in mortal riain.
The dark cloud crowd round the mountains
peak:
Caws the crow on the bonchs o'er head;
The great limbs bcnd,and tho branches creak
"Ah, why do 1 live? lie is falser- sue said
A shriek is hfard through the gathering storm:
A rnsning figure darkens toe air;
Ont from the cliff springs a slender form,
And a maiden's grief lies buried there.
Towers the gray crag frira and high;
Drips the blood trom its rugged side;
Loud and shrill is the eagle's call
O'er the mnttcriag wash of the angry tide 1
But the Storm King nods to old Cro' Nest,
. Whcro the pine-trees wave the hearse
crows call.
Though the Mohawk sleeps 'neath that rocky
crest,
While the leaves on his ruined astleso fall.
To-day on the Hudson sailing by,
Under the shadow of Breakneck Hill,
We tell tho legend, and heave a sigh,
Where Nekama's memory lingers still.
AGRICULTURAL.
The Debit and Credit Acconnf
No one can pursue a business intelli
gently and profitably without carefully
kept debit ami credit accounts. With
these accounts carefully kept, the farmers
can by yearly ballanccs see just what lie
is doing. If the account is too heavy on
the debit side, the farmer can see just
where he is tending, and will by this in
formation be mlluencd to take a new
track, and recover himself before he has
gone too far.
xvoiv, January, is here, and we
advise all who have not done so be
fore to open an account with the farm and
its operations. Here are the items that
should be
CHARGED AGAINST THE FARM.
Interest on the capital invested, at the
usual rate, 10 per cent.

tion.

Indiana Farmer.
A Xe Hoa-se Oi.seiise.
A correspondent of the Farmers' Home
.Tnnrn.il writes thus of a new didease
horses near Harrodsbure, Ky.
The first cases that occurred in Jlercer
county were at Mr. T. C. Coleman s, and
11. IU. OjeiIllUI O Ul ATttlIIC UlUVB-IUMM;
and lmth these frentleraen lost several val
uablc animals during the summer and
fall, before any successlal remedy was
found. The disease appears to be a kind
of distemper, which first effects the horse's
throat and nose, anu u not urreoiuu m
time, progresses into the lungs, when it is
thpn considered as nasi all cure. This
dit-temper is much more virulent and fa
tal than the old, well-known aisiemper
that eflecta all young hor.es, and Is also
considered much more troublesome than
epizootic, although not so contagious
ilr. A. S. ilcCann has, wuuin uie msi
few weeks,, lost several fine horses from
it, and now has others under treatment
The only remedy yet tried by these
gentlemen which appears to be followed
by any beneficial results is a very strong
croton oil blister applied to the throat,
which, in most cases, has been attended
with sncedv relief and ultimate cure.
The firbt symptoms of the disease, as Mr.
McCann stales, is the horse's manifest
desire for water and inability to swallow.
Said he: "I observed a horse of mine
standing in a branch- for some time, Ire-,
quently putting his mouth to the water,
but never swallowing any. This going to
the branch and trying to drink was re
pealed for several days belore l nouceu
a swelling in inc throat, nen i imme
diately began the blister treatment, and
in twenty-four hours the horse was able to
drink, and is now nearly well."
The disease dtflers from ordinary dis
temper in several respects, and is no dis
criminator in ages, as it attacks young
horses or colts as well as the old work
horses or brood-mares. It has not made
much prouress in this county as yet, but
appears to be slowly progressing through
the northern portion.
Treatment of Winter Apples.
When the apples are put away in the
cellar, manv think the work is done, ex
cept bringing them out again to eat; but
it is a mistake. They should be careiai
lv overhauled every two weeks, the
specked ones picked out and used, while
the sound ones will keen the longer, i
never take offense at having a dish of
armies set before me that have been
washed ou nicelv and the uecaycu specks
cut out. It rather impresses me lavor-
ably with the good judgment of the host
and hostess that oiler them. inesc are
usuallvauite ripeand good. All varieties
that have a tendency to shrivel, when in
barrels or boxes, should be laid on the
irround in the cellar on some clean straw'
or a little dry lime strewn upon the
"round wi'l prevent their getting an thing
of an enrlhv smell. Manr varieties, if
not all, arc ripened up quickly by bring
ing into a warm room a few days before
needed. With all the destruction of the
borer. I do hone the time Is not far dis
tant when a dish of nice apples will ever be
a part of the entertainment of the long
evenings of winter; a thing we have a faint
recollection of in years gone by, but so
long ago that we almost forget how it
went. Mural world.
Hitherto it has been the custom lo
consult onlv in a partial degree the wish
es or necessities of the farmer in the mat
ter of political contests, but, thanks to the
grange movement, a better day has
dawned, as will be seen by the following
which we copy from a recent is'sue of the
Lcxinzton Daily .Tress: "We have no
disposition to find fault with the (Ky.)
State Central Committee, believing it to
be composed of gentlemen anxious to do
what is best for the people of the State
generally, and not unmindlul of the in
terests of the Democratic party; but we
think the objection of theCourier-Joiirnal
to the time set for the calling ol theuuber
natorial convention is well taken. It is
a pity fo keep the candidates in agony for
quite bo long a time; but the gravest ob
jection is that in May the larmers will be
more busy than in the previous months,
and so will have much difficulty in at
tending the convention. We think ifwill
be admitted thai the farmers have an in
terest in the next Gubernatorial nomina
lion, and will take an active part in it
If any one is foolish enough not to believe
it. he will have Jits eves opened about the
time the convention meets." Farmer's

THE GRANGERS.
Hems Gathered from Various
.Sources, that are 1" Interest to
the Farincr-Krotlici'liooti.
A "Grange Land and Immigration
Company" has commenced operation in
Arkansas.
The directors of the grange warehouse
at Delavan, Wis , announce the reports of
extravagance in its management and mis
appropriation of funds a malicious slander.
It was shown at the Iowa State Grange
that there were now 2,000 Grangers in
that State, an increase over last year of
101:, and that iU'J smaller Granges have
been consolidated with others.
In May, 1RCG, the first Grange was or
ganized in Washington city. The next
was that at St Taul, Minnesota, eix years
ago. Now there are more than 21,000
Granges, with a membership of 1,300,000.
Cherokee County Council, Texas, urges
Patrons everywhere in the cotton-growing
States to ascertain as soon as the ginning
season is over, how much cotton has been
put up at each gin, nnd report the statis
tics to the .National orange, m order to
put it out of the pouer of speculators to
control the priec of cotton to suit them
selves.
The Monthly Bulletin of the National
Grange, for December 1, tavs that the in
crease of new granges for November was
3C1, and the tola! number organized up
to that tune wnsl,0. The JJulletin

A lady of Walnut Creek (Kansas)
Grange put a rod in pickle for the men
some of whom are not slow to urge the
women to more active participation in
crantre work and here is one of her cuts:
"There has been a creat deal said in the
grange about women not doing their part
in working or talking. As for work, the
women do more than the men, for at home
they have the work to do in the house,
and a large share of the men's work to
do, such as planting corn and. setting out
hedec: and. it they have a walk or a gar-
den.'l am sure they have to build them,
and are laughed at about their work. In
fact, the farmirs' wives and daughters
do all kinds of work, except to plow, and
they can t hold the plow As to talking,
the men have so much to say that when
they get done there is no time for us, and
we have to write a little pitiful thing
called an essay, and which they olten ask
to see, and then they will put it in their
coat porket and lose it, it they can, lor

it the rire hadn t been asleep, it would
not have been so indiscreet as tell what
it did. And what do vou think that was?
Why. all about what Santa Clans had
been putting into those 1 i I tic stockings by
the chimney. Fortunately, there was no
listener but the big pink Shell that lay on
the hearth. The Shell listened, and then
moaned and sighed, till the Fire opened
one little red eye and then snapped O'.d:
"What is lho-inatler, Sl.nllV VVI.r J

inc of the merry Christmas Eve. and it
made me think of the last night I was on
the seashore.
The Shell sighed again, and the Fire
opened another red eye, saying:
"Tell me about it."
"You never saw the sea,'' said th
Shell, dreamily. "You do not know how
the white waves dash against the rocks,
nor how the wind can howl over thd
waters. You cannot think how gran
and awful, and yet how beautiful, is th
sea. The last time 1 6aw it the waves
were half asleep and the moonbeame
danced among the ripples. Ah! it was
lovely on that Christmas Eve."
"How did you know it was Christmas
Eve?" asked the Fire, sleepily, for it was
dozing again.
"The Wind told me so," sighed th
Shell, and the Fire turned gray and wen
quite lo sleep. The Shell felt lonely, and
wished itselt back by the dear old sea.
It sighed so mournfully that the Win
heard it and stole down the chimney,
softly, that it should not wake the Fire.
It crept into the moaning Shell and kissed
it so light and lovingly that it brought
back the sea-side memories more vividly
and the poor, lonely bhell sobbed like
tired child.
"Why are you sad, pretty Shell?" asked
the Wind.
"I was lonely, so lonelv," answered th
Shell;"the Fire does not know my dear sea
andean not tell me of the thin I love,
But I am not sad now, dear Wind, foryou
arc here to comfort me. Tell me one of
your pretty stories, as you uted to do
among the rocks by the sea."
The Wind hummed a little song, and
kissed the shell again beloreit commenced.
"Do you know that to-uight is Christ
mas Eve? I remember the first Christ
mas Eve; it happened a long, long time
ago. 'Where was it?' In a far off laud
one that vou never saw; it is far on th
other side of the sea you love; it is a beau
tiful land, I think, and I have heard
men say that the dear All-Father loved it
well. 'Do I think so?' Yes, I do. for
the hills and valleys of that country are
what was never seen elsewhere. Let me
tell you what it was. I had kissed all
the ilowers goodnight, and peeped at the
dear little birds asleep in their nests, and
then 1 went to sleep among the hills.
After awhile I waked. It Eecmed that
I heard once more the song of the morn
ing stars. You have seen the sun coming
up from behind the sea, with his flaming
banners and quivering beams of light, but
you never saw such a sight as I did that
night; for the Angel of the Lord came
down, and the glory of God lighted up
the land. Then there came a throng of
angels down from heaven, and they sang
together till all the land was filled with
melody, and the glorious harmony rose to
the very stars. Oh! it was like that
mighty song that rose when the earth
was pure and fresh, when all things sang
praise to Him that made them.
"Sing you the song of the nngels?"
"I can not, dear Shell; only God's an
gels can sing it, but I caught their woids
and remembered them:"
" 'Glory to God in the liighcjt, andon earth
peace, good will towards men.' "
Once more the Wind kissed the Shell
and then soared upward into the gray
dawn of a Christmas morning, caroling.
"Glr.ry to God iD the highest."
Through the window crept the rays of
the morning sun, whispering gently:
"Pt.ii-con earth, good will towards men."

A Minister Drunk at (be Commuii
ion Table.
Cincinnati Special, 25th, to Chicago Tribune,
There was a stunning sensation to-day
in one ol our high-toned Episcopal
churches (St. John's) on the occasion of
the Christmas services and communion,
riie rector of this church, the Rev. C. D.
Davidson, died recently, and his place has
not vet been supplied. . Today another
minister, of Covington, had been secured
to ofuciate. Unfortunately, the latter
gentleman had partaken rather freely of
egg-nog before going to the church; nnd,
worse still, when he got there he dived
into the jug of communion wine, drink
ing long and often, of the rich juice of the
grape. He managed to get through the
lormal services decently, but by the time
he commenced on his Christmas sermon,
the mixture of egg-nog and wine had so
rorked upon his brain that he was badly
oil" and wandered sadly. He rambled
arniiflriuiMpiug.frniM a-4,ui in auotli
er in such a way that all could see that
the man was drunk. At last, when the
thing became unbearable, the Wardens
gave the signal, and the congregation, a
small one, got up quietly and left with
dignity, leaving the minister to talk to
empty benches.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1875 EIGHTH TEAK.
THE ALPINE
THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA,
ISSCID ItOTTBLT.
A 31AGNIFICANT CONCEPTION WON
DERFULLY CARRIED OUT.
The necessity of a popular medium for th a
representation of the productions of our grtat
artists has always been recognized, and many
attempts have been made to meet the wast
The successive failures which have so invariably
followed each attempt in this country to estab
lish an art journal, did not prova the indiffee
enee of the people of America to the claims of
high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of
t. , . n .1 .v:i:, . - : . t

the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to
its support, and the result was a rreat artlstio
and commercial triumph THE A L DINE.
TbeAldine while issued with all of the regu
larity, has none of the temporary or timely in
terests characteristic of ordinary periodicals.
It is an ilezant miscellanv of cure, liirht. and
graceful literature, and a collection of pictures,
tho rarest collection of artistis (kill, in blaek
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure to Its friends, the real
value and beanty ol The Aldine will be most
appreciated after it is bound up at the close of
me year, untie omer publications may elaio
superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of
a similar class. The Aldine Is a unique and
original conception alone and unapDroaehed
absolutely without competition in price or
cnaracier. Ane possessor or a complete vol
umo cannot duplicate the' quantity of fine pa
per and engravings in any other shape or nam-
per 01 volumes, jar ten nmtt iu cott ana Mm,
there t iXe ehromo, leeidet!
The national feature of The Aldine must be
taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmo
politan. While The Aldine Is a strictly Ameri
can institution, it does not confine itself to the
reproduction of native art. Its mission is to
cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one
that will discriminate on grounds of istrinsio
merit. Thus, while pleading before the patrons
of The Aldine, as a leading characteristic, the
productions of the most noted American artists,
attention will always be given to specimens
from foreign masters, giving subscribers all the
pleasure and instruction obtainable from home
or foreign sources.
Abo artistic Illustration or American scenery.

page. Thejudicious interspersion of landscape.

of the work confines the artist too closely to a
single style of subject. The literature of The
Aldine is a light and graceful accompaniment,

technical disquisitions as do not interfere with
tne popular interest or tne work.
PREMIUM FOR 1875.
Kvery subsciber for 187S will receive a beau
tiful portrait, in oil colors, of tho same nsbla
dog whose picture in a former issue attracted so
much attention.
"Man's Unselfish Friend"
will be welcome to every home. Everybody
loves sueh a dog, and tha portrait is executed
so true to the life, that it seems the veritable
presence of the animal itself. The Rev. T. Se
Witt Talmago tells that his own Newfoundland
dog (tbe nnest m .Brooklyn) barks at it. IU
though so natural, no one who zees this pre
mium ehrcmo will have the slightest fear of
Dems nuien.
Besides the ehromo every advance subscriber
to The Aldine for 1S75 is constituted a member
and entitled to the privileges of

HARPER'S MAGAZINE.

Xo'.ice, of tie Freu.
The ever increasing circulation of this ex
cellent monthly proves its continued adapta
tion to popular desires and needs. Indeed,
when we think into how many homes it pene
trates every month, we must consider it as en
tertainers, of the public mind, for its vast popu
larity has been won no by appeal to stupid pre
judices or depraved tastes. Bostom Glole.
The character which thir Magazine possesses
for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth, and
literary culture that. has kept pace with, if it
has not led the times, should cause its con
ductors to regard it with justifiable compla
cency. It also entitles them to a grtat claim
upon the publio gratitude. The Magazine has
done good, and not evil, all the days of its
life. Brooklyn Eagle
