All at once a knock was heard at the door. - "Kmtaa, said theineiher, you may go to the door and-see who it is, and invite them in, for it is -a celd day.' Kmma obeyed her mother a direction. "Is Mrs. Lowe at home? inquired Henry Beaumont for it waa he. ''Yes, sir,' said Emma; plcaso walk in, and you may tee her.' ....,-. ,So ahe ushered the old .man into the comfortable kitting room. ' Mrs. Lowo rose to tcceivo him. "I believe,' said he, 'I am not mistaken in thinking that your name beforo' marlingo was Anna Uoaumont.' "Yon aro right, air; that was my name?" And you havo no recollection of an undo who wandered away from homo and friends, and from wh'om no tidings have come Tor many a long car?' Yes, sir, 1 remember him well my uncle Henry; and I have many times wished I could learn something of him. Can you give mo' any information?' "I can, for I am ho.'

"Yes," said Mrs. Lowe, "I am anxious to give Kmma and Mary a musical education, but William's means will not allow of such a piece of cxtravsganco ns tho purchase of a piano; so that is one of the things which we must be content to deny ourselves. Mr. Lowe then entered, and, being in formed of the character of hi visitor, ex tended a warm welcome. A comfortable repast was soon spread, of which Mr. Ueau mont partook heartily. Ilis'spirits rose, and he seemed to grow younger aa ho saw the cheerful faces around him, and felt himself at home. Boon after the evenln meal ho arose to depart.

She beheld two men who had -driven up in a wagon. 'Where is tho piano to bo put, ma'am?' thev inouircd." ' ... I'iano! You have made a mistake; we have not purchased piano.' 'Isn't your namo Lowe?' 'Then it all right. Jim, bear a hand, for it's confeundcil Veavy. But I am sure there mutt bo some mistake" insisted tho perplexed Mrs. Lowe.

'You know,' continued tbe uncle, that I am going to come to live with you, onu I thought I would pay my board in advanco, Hufr is all.

' During tho early, part of the war, a battle was fought in Kontacky which laid the ground work for a romance in real life, which for thrilling interest, is scarcely equalled by tho most startling pages of fiction. Midway between tho contending hosts was the residence of a well to-do farmer, and the first thing the family knew, shot and shell wero flying around their domieil like hail. Of course they scattercd in all directions. Ono of them, a beautiful girl of eighteen, wandered from filoce to place, unablo to find any trace of ier relations. Fiually'remcmbciing that she had often heard her father speak of having a brother in Dolcwaro .county, Indiana, she, with difficulty mado her way to her unclo's, who, after hearing l.cr i.tory, gavo her a cheerful welcome, and with hi in she had found a homo ever since. At tho breaking out of the war, she was engaged to be murricd to a young gentleman the son of a neighbor whose farm joined her father's. Bring a strong Union: ist, and tho neighboring people being nearly all bitter secessionists, ho was, by icrccutlon. comrclled to flv to en inn Hick Jtobi uson, where ho'cnroilcd himself in ono of the regimojits there being formed cut of the Union refugees itom Kentucky and Tennessee, and received tho commission of captain in it. Just beforo tho (battle icferrcd to, his regiment was or dered to Missouri, and at too time it took place ho wub far distant, and consequently lost all trace of bis intended bride. Serv ing through tho wsr with distinction, he was discharged with it rank of Lieut. Colonel. Ho then at onco set about hunting up tho lost one. He visited tho scene of tho battle, and mado ruiiiuto inquiries in regard to licr of every one he met there. He employed experienced men to treco her out it possible. All his effort failed, and bo rcfunctunt'y concluded thatbbo was dead and lost to him forever. Ho embarked in the livery business at Nnshvillo finally, making it a part of his occupation to aid drovers in disposing of their stock. About-four weeks ego a youug Hoosicr arrived in that city with a lot of horses, ahd, aa luck would have it, he stabled them with the gentleman in question. As it took some time to dispose of them, the young Hoosier and the exlieutenant col. becumo very intimate indulging in several drinks and oyster stews at euch other's expense. While thus as sociated together the drover happened to take out a photogroph of a young lady in the presence of hi lundlord. No sooner did tho latter seo it than ho snatched it out of his hand, and enquired whero he got it He replied that it was a likeness of a cousin residing with his father. Question after question wss asked and answered, until the colonel became fully satisfied that he had at last found tho long lost one. A few hours found the two making their way North as rapidly as the iron horse could csrrv tbcni. and on Thursday last the two so long separated were made one flesh, and ere this have reach tho Kock City, where, we trust, long and happy life Will füllt repay tbem for the uutold anguish they havo suffered. A lover who wss slighted by the fe msles, very 'modestly asked a young lady if she would let uiui spend tho evening with her. "No," she angrily replied, "that's what I won't." "Why," replied ho, "you needn't bo so fussy; 1 didn't mcsn this evening, but some stormy one when I csn't go auy where else.'

Letter from Governor Baker. . Dr. T. A. Bland, Editor North Wettern . Faimer. ;.'! Dear Sir: Although 1 read the "Farmer" every month with pleasure and profit, how am I to perform my promise (inconsiderately made I feat,) to write bornething for it pages, in such a manner, as to afford cither pleasure or profit to your reader.' . ' V' "... , " . ' On a moment's reflection, I do not know that 1 could do a letter thing t or pay a trutr thina. than to tell you to your face, that the North Western Former is n good thing and. that it will soon, if our ppoplo do not stand, in their own light, become in its circulation and influence, deddedly a Hi thing. ' . It is wonderful that so many persons connected with tho farming interest, an interest upon which all other interests depend, tlioulJ be so indifferent to the literature and ptogrcss of their own noble profession, a not to feel concerned about tho success ot a periodical tievotca to mat great interest. I have jint said, that the vocation of the agriculturist is n noble one; but, it may be said that I am a lawyer, and that lawyers aro often accused of saying what they do not believe; and that I am a politician, and that politicians oro frequently occuscd of suying what they do not mean. Now, whilo I plead guilty to being a lawyer by profession, I don't think I am "politician enough to hurt," and I protest that I believe and mean just what I have said. I hnvo now no recollection o( ever having rend a sentence written by Washington that did not and do not bc'ievo, and, however little valuo may attach to any opinion of mine, Washington recorded it a hi deliberate opinion that "ugriculturo isHhc most healthful, most useful and 'most noble employment of man.' " I bolievo it becau;o Washington so said, and because observation and experience provo tho correctness of hi opinion. But you sco I have already "switched off tho track," and, unlsss the engine i reversed, thcro is no telling where wo will bring up. . - If a peiioduul devoted to tho .interests of the legal profession, should be started at Indianapolis, and bo conducted with the sumo zcul and ability that tiro manifested every tLonth iu your pnges, how many lawyers in the State, think you, would fail to tuko it? Tbe votaries of the legal profession who desire to keep up with the progress of tho times would not only patrotiizo such a publication, but their interest in tho profession of their choico would causo them tc make it the medium of communicating professional knowledge to tho cntiro brolhcjhood of lawyers. Lawyers muüt have their books of teport issued at short interval, containing tl i decisions of tho various courts in tho land. A good agricultural popcr is to tho irncticul farmer what, a book cf good decisions well reported is to tho law. yer. By it ho add tb hi bwu cx orieuco a knowlcdgo of tho cxpcncnco ot others. It is fushionuble I know to sneer at bookfarming and book furmcrs, but it would really bo ucurly as sonsible to ridiculebook lawyers. A knowledge of books alouo will not make iho aucccsriful lawyer. To this must bo added industry, tuet and lublio confidence; tho last of which, like the orchard of the farmer, require years to bring it into full bearing. , Ono of tho most leurned lawyers 1 ever kecw never succeeded in hi profession. He was a mere book laivjcr, knowing nearly everything tho books of hi profession conturned, but slmost literally knowing notli. ing eUo. So destitute- wushe of a knowledge of human uaturo and so wanting in tact, that ull his learning was valueless, except as he rotsilod it out to hi juulors, who had common tcino and skill enough to apply it to the practicul businctu of life. So with the farmer, books will not per form ths practical operations of tho farm, but, in the band ot u common senrc, in telligent man, they will facilitate his labors, and add to hi plcasuro as well a to hi profit. In tbo ue ot them, like the lawyer, he must apply to their teachings tho touchstone of reuson aud common sense, or lie may, liko tho lawyer who ig nores there, und himself relvinir upon re ported cuses that are not bated upou softnd . . t aa principles, or which have been overruled by cxperieuco and better considered adju dications. Suppose tho farmer, in addition to the handwork ho now bestows upon hi farm, should give to his profession a small pro portion U the brainwork that Iho lawyer bestows upon his,' what an increase in the uteUrinl a well as mental wealth of our people would ensue, aud how soon would taste, and refinement, kand thrift prevuil on many a farm whero tlcir opposite now hold sway. 1 havo long been sutUficd thut if men who devote themselves to the so-colled learned professions, would 'seek and find recreation in agricultural and horticultural pursuits, and if farmers and mechanics would seek and find their recreation in books snd study, thcro would soon bo a larger degree of symputhy between tbese two clusscs of worker, and society would bo greatly benefitted by the change. I have tried this plan myself for years, and found that I eould toil on from year to year without tho necessity of a four to six weeks', suurtner vacation, bocause I enjoyed a vacation evry morning and every evening iu my fruit lot and garden. A tho war ia happily now over, suppose Doctor you try to got up on ogricultiirol rcviv.il that shall reach tho m iss of tho farmer, gardcucrs and fruit growers of the State. Would it not bo a good idea occasionally a tour Stste and t'ocrnry Fairs to have a train race. imtcud of numerous hon I dee? .Would it not bo aa appropriate to offer a premium for tho best cssny on tho culture of "black. eyed'-pea,", a for'tho fastest "trotter,, or the fastest, "pacer?'.' Does, tie ; plow or lüo'.mowing'iuäohine travel at tho rate of .2:40? ..If net. why is it that 2:40 horses are permitted lo monopolize nearly all the attenliou ut the farmers' -Camp Meetings?''

WHOLE NO. 293. , I think the starting point for a "j-evi-val" in relation to bur industrial interests, i to get every farm'r1 and mechanic, and every jcrspa either in town or .country who ha even a small garden, to take your paper; and then you continue to tell them that the chief end of furmers and mechanics is not fast horses. . ' . And now, Doctor,' if you and yonr readers will pardmn'this gossipy letter, I will ptonmo'nbt again soon to offend in like manner. . , Yours truly, , .. .. , Conrad Baker.

Thero aro now' something over a half a billion of greenbacks, and gold i at o prrmium of forty cents on tiro dollar; incrcofo the amount of greenbacks to three thousand-millions and the premium would run' up to a hundred dollars for one gold jollar; the notes of the National Banks would become as worthless, and tho National currency ' break down ond finally go the way of all irredeemable paper, liko tho issuoa of the Confederate States, so-called. ,To this end .the repudiates are working. They wquld not be for paying the dybt if, ot the same time, they could not destroy tho Union and the Government. ' ' - . The Kentucky Democrats are in'favor of paying the bondholders Tn greenbacks, but at the sauio time they hope to bo paid in gold coin for every slave emancipated under Drcsidcnt Lincoln's proclamation and the Constitutional amendment. Madison Courier. ; . Trial b Jury. Dr.! Francis Lieber proposes to the New York Constitutional' Contention tho following system in place of the present requirement of unanimity iu jury trials: "I'sehjury shall consist of twelve- Jurors, the agreement cf two-thirds of whom shall be tullicicnt for a verdict, in alf cases, both civil and -penul, except in oapital cases, when threv-foutth imift agreo to make a verdict valid. But the foiemsn, in rendering the verdict, shall slalo how many juror haro agreed n In support of this ho alleges tho cTtcn defiuts of justice by the unanimity requirement, tho inconsistency of tue attempt to make agreement by confinement, the fact that now hero but in England ahd tho United States is this unanimity re quired to mukoa verdict, (ho violation of tho rule that no man shall to placed in jeopardy twico upon tho samo charge, winch is wrought by calling that no trial in which tbo jury do not ogrce; and he reason as follows: "What is unanimity worth when it is en forced: or when tho "jury5 is out ony length of time, whi'h proves thut tho formal nnsnimity, tho outward agreement, is merely accommodative unanimity, If I may make a word? Such a vcidict is not on intrinsically truthful one; the unanimity i a real 'affurccmcnt,' or artificial. Again, the unanimity principlo put it iu tho power of any relractory juror, possibly sy mpathizing more with crimo than with society and light, to defeat tbo ends of justice by holdintr out.' . Kvery ono remcm xrs cuta Df tho plainest nnd of well pfoved sdovity cuing unpunished because of one' or two jurors ' residing Iho others, cither from positively wicked motives, of some mawkish reasons which ought to have prevented them from going into the jury box altogether. .s !tel ; k h: " I ho French snd Ocrmart rtfle, snd I believe tho Italian also, is, that if seven jurors aro against five, ' tho judges retire, oud if the . bench decides with the liveogainst tho seven, tho verdict ts on tho Lsideof the Rve. If eiithl jurors agree ogainst four, it is a verdict, in cspital as well a in common criminal ruse. Thero I no civil jury in Franco, Germany, and Italy." . ' ".j' ' ' Tho People All Right.
