From the Congregationalist.
EUGENE AND JOSIE. _
Do any of the children who read the Con-
gregationalist remember the story of “How
Charlie was lost?” I have another, but oh!
so much sadder one to tell, of two little
boys who lived about four miles from Chars
lie’s home.
It was the some beautiful June, the birds
were still singing their sweetest songs ; the
rose buds were all bursting into bloom ; the
little brooks were glittering in the sunlight,
then hiding between the moss covered rocks,
and Saturday, the school boys’ holiday had
come. ,
Eugene and Josie were, the one five ; and
the other seven years old,‘ and they rose
this glad Saturday morning as blithc as the
birds themselves. A whole day for play!
not even the shadow of a book before them !
' Merrily they ran about full of life and health
——planning and executing more business
than I could write about in several hours.
The bright morning glided by, until half
past ten had come. Then the little work-
ers paused long enough to remember that a
great while ago they had had breakfast, and
now they must have some lunch, so they
bounded into the house, eagerly calling for
momma, and laying their wants before her.
With well filled hands, and happy hearts,
they sat down on the piazza to eat the food
she gave them. And then like the'bees that
stop to sip a little honey from the flower cup
away they flew to finish their interrupted
work. Dinner time came. Eugene and Jo-
sie were not there. It was a little strange,
but easily accounted for. They must have
wandered farther than they thought. They
would surely be back soon. '
’Their mother directed that their dinner
he placed where they could get it, and went
out to call on a friend. No anxious thoughts
followed her. Her boys were accustomed
to play in safety, and if on Saturday they
were out beyond the dinner hour, it caused
her no alarm. On her return she bought
them each a hat for Sunday. The little
heads were no where visible, but surely they
would be here very quickly now. Their
father came at tea time, but not the boys ;
and now a shadow began to fall on the
mother’s heart. She called them but they
did not answer. Their father went about to
find them, but nobody had seen them since
they sat eating their lunch at half past ten.
They must have gone in the woods and
wandered farther than they thought—per-
haps were frightened and lost. On, on
went the father, calling his little ones, but
no answer came. - _
The twilight threw a shadow into these
parents’ hearts, y et no answer came to their
call, and no passer by threw any light on
their inquiries. Friends joined the anxious
father in his search. And as the evening
businessin the town closed, the party be-
come more numerous. The night came on;
an agony Of fear had settled in that mother’s
heart. Who would tell her where her darl-
ings were. She knew that many friends
had gone to aid the sorrowiug father ; for
her there was nothing to do but to suffer
and to wait. With the first faint glimpse of
dawn she took her seat on the piazza, that
she might catch the earliest tokens of their
coming. There was a hurrying to and fro,_
but always the some leaden response, “They
' are not found.”
The bright sun rose, and the morning
hours wore on. The church bells rang and
the-worshippers gathered in their accustom-
ed places. The electric touch of sympathy
had thrilled every heart, and revealed itself
in saddened faces. There was a vacancy in
the choir where the mother’s sweet voice
was always heard. There was a bush in
the infant class, for two of its members were
strangely absent. Prayer was offered for
these suffering parents, and for the lost chil-
dren. The'morning service closed, and to
the eager inquiries came the some sad an-
swer, “not yet found.” A large company of
organized . men were faithfully looking
through the water and the woods the rocks
and the fields, b'ut no tracesof them could
be, found. The interval been the church
services was very solemn. Mothers spoke
tenderly to their little ones, and turned looks
of- great heart-felt pity towards the dwell-
ing where that anguished watcher sat keep-
ing such strange vigil. Again the congrega-
tions met for worship. The services had not
been long begun when the signal bells Were
struck announcing that the little ones were
found. The preacher paused—for so intense
grew the anxiety of the audience that it
seemed impossible to proceed. “The chil-
It seemed as if
some great heavy weight was suddenly lift-
ed from every heart. “The children are
found 1 Found ! but dead i" said a voice
in the audience—and the weight fell again—
darkly, and heavily.
Children, where do you suppoae these lit-
tle ones had met the messenger sent to call
them away tl-om the earth? Why 1 just out-
side their father’s gate ! Somebody was
building a house in a lot next to the one in
which their father lived. When the masons
Wanted sand for their mortar they opened a
little pit between the two houses. It was
not very deep, but it was soft and yielding,
just a tempting spot for playful boys to
jump in and dig wells, and make ovens, and
let the sand go sliding through their fingers.
Can you think whats. delightful time they
were having ? Perhaps they attempted to
dig a little house in the soft bank, and their
busy fingers made it deeper and deeper un-'
til they suddenly ceased to move. The
sand .bank, loosened by their digging, fell
upon their bent heads, and before they had
time to think or struggle, stopped their
breath, and hid them under the smooth sur-
face as effectually as if they had been buried
in the ocean. Many a searcher looked into
the pit, but its treacherous surface told no
tidings of the treasures it held, until Sunday
afternoon, when a man paused again at the
sand pit. He had been at work ilr it early
Saturday morning, and as he looked at it
again he fancied its shape had changed. ‘ It
could do harm to take his shovel and throw
the sand about. His second efi‘ort, just six
inches below the surface, reached the head
of one of the boys.
The mother left her watching place—she
could not bear the sight as her dead boys
were lifted il'om their dark hiding place.
Loving hands prepared them for their bur-
ial; and then carried them to the .homc
which their going out had made so desolate.
The funeral was attended at the village
church, and over all there was a solemn
hush, for God had indeed revealed himself to
the hearts of those parents and children.
He had shown the parents that their chil-
dren were not given ,but lent. Instead of send-
ing a wasting sickness, full of pain and suf-
fering. He permitted a little cloud to pass
over them, and they were not, for God; took
them.
These were little children, and we trust
Jesus freed them from sin, and suffered them
to go to him. Will the children who
read this true story of Eugene and Josie, re-
member that God’s great messenger, death,
may meet them at 'any hour, and in any
place? If they do not love the blessed Je-
sus,lct them never rest until they feel His
love in their hearts preparing them for a
long life, or an early dough. In J csus only
are they safe. C. A. w.

The Turf and the Trotting Horse
in America.
[Continued from last weld]
During the year ‘1863 the war caused a
great diversion of public attention, neverthe-
less, the records of the turf exhibit a goodly
amount of excellent work. It was marked
by the splendid trotting of the horses Gen-
eral Butler, George Wilkes, George M. Patch-
en, Sills Rich, California Damsel, and by the
first appearance of a number of the horses-
that have become famous. In May the Ham-
bletoniall, Shark, made his mark in a three
mile race witll Frank Temple; placing him-
selfiu the list with Screwdriver, Dutchman,
Lady Suffolk, and all the famous Old three
lnilers of the first generations. He won the
race with Frank Temple in 2heats; trotting"
in 7 m. 47% s., and in the second in 7 47% s_
The great two-mile race, on the Fashion
Course, Long Island, between Gen. Butler
and George M. Patchcn, in which Gen. Butler
made the best two-mile time to wagon on rec;
cord, took place on the 18th of June. Gen-
eral Butler won the first beat in 4 m. 56% s.
In the second bestowing to some unfair ad-
vantage taken by the driver of General But-
ler, the judges declared him distanced. Two
days after, the same horses met again, when
General Butler came off victorious; winning
three mile-heats in 2 m. 27%s., 2 in. 30 s., and
J nus—George Wilkes, in harness, beat Rock-
ingham, under saddle, in three straight mile-
heats, the best of which was trotted in 2 m.
24% 5.
Butler were pitted against each other again
before, George Wilkes had beaten Ethan Al-
len, and he came to the endounter with the
green laurcls of his victory over Rockingham.
It was stipulated that he should go in harness,
but to him this was no drawback, while Gen-
eral Butler was priveleged to go under the
saddle, the style most favorable to an exhibi-
tion of all his powers. The day was fine,
and the track in excellent condition. Gen-
eral Butler appeared in trim to surpass all
his previous performances, andperhaps out-
strip all his predecessors. Georgc Wilkes did
notappear so well and in the race broke fre-
quently, but pushed General Butler out in
Lthe last heat in 2 m. 23% s. The preceding
two boats were won by General Butler, in 2
m. 29% 3. General Butler may therefor be
fairly regarded as the first horse upon the
trotting turf in 1863; and his great endurance
ing or dead.
The great performance
Peerless also took place on Long Island in
the summer of this year. She was then, as
now, the property of Mr. Robert Bonner,
and the performance referred to was a trial
of one mile to wagon. Hiram Woodrufl‘
drove her in 2 m. 23% s., which is the best
time to wagon upon record. This mare was ,
bred in Orange County, New York, and is
directly derived through her sire, American
best living representative of that excellent
and popular strain of- trotting blood, and is
held by many of its admirers to be able to
draw a wagon faster than any other horse
living. '
It will perhaps be noticed that the princi-
pal races mentioned have been upon Long
Island. This it owing to the fact of its be-
ing the seat of the great metropolitan race-
courses to which every first-class horse soon
er or later is brought. New York City is,
The great facilities for driving in its suburbs
and the large number of its wealthy men in-
terested in fast horses, make it the best mar-
ket for them in America; The record of
trotting on Long Island is, consequently, a
record of its progress in the whole country.
iiant in trotting-turf annals. A fitting record
of its great races would fill a volume. They
represent the best horses of 1862 and 1863.—
General Butler, George Wilkes, Lady Emma
and Stonewall Jackson; and such additions
as Dexter, Shark, NutwOod, Brunette, Prince
May Queen, Lady Thorn, and Commodore
Vanderbilt. Some of the latter had been on
the turf for a short time previous; but it was
in 1864 that they flowered into a fulness of
speed which gained them a national reputa-
tion. Dexter, however, the greatest of all,
and the horse that at present represents the
highest development of speed' in trotting,
made his first appearance on the 4th of May
of this year.
Dexter was bred in Orange County, New
York, of the blood of Messenger and Sir
Henry. That of the former be derived from
his site, Hambletonian; and the latter from
his grandsire,Americau Star. He was fooled
in 1857, and was therefore seven years old
when he made his appearance on the turf.
He is of a rich brown color, fifteen hands
one and one half inches high, and has all the
characteristics which distinguish the traitor,-
as the. following minute analysis of his prom-
inent features exhibits: “His head, though
some what large,'is clean and bony; lower
jaw well open at the base, leaving ample
room for the windpipe; ears tapering and
lively; eyes bright and prominent; head
well set on to a rather light neck, which is
well fitted to fine. sloping shoulders; Withers
high, with great depth of brisket, and a good
barrel; back slightly arched, with broad
loin and hips, and a drooping rump; uncom-
monly long from the point of the hip to the
hock; short cannon-bone. Though wide
aeross the hip, he is» more so. measured
across the stifies, where his power is most
apparent; fine arm and thigh ; his liinbs are
clean and sincwy, and without blemish,,with
long pasterns fitting into well shaped hoofs;
mane and tail sufficiently full, and the latter
denoting his Hambletoniau origin." In the
seven years which preceded his first appear.
ance, his frame had become firmly knit, and
his muscles developed and hardened, so that
when placed in the skilful hands of Hiram
Woodrufl', he had the strength to undergo a
thorough training, and to maintain and re-
peat every improvement in speed. .
The first race on the Fashion Course in
1864 was that in which StoneWall Jackson,
of Hartford, C necticut, beat Frank Cosette
and General rant in 2m. 30 s. This was
on the 10th of April; and the race of Stone-
wall Jackson, Lady Collins, and Dexter fol-
lowed On the 4th of May. Although Dexter
wasa green horse the fact of his being pit—
ted against such a. champion. 09 Stonewall
Jackson under the management of Hiram
Woodrufl‘, was sufficient to excite cOnsider-
able expectation as well as curiosity, and
there. was in consequence a good attend-
ance at the race. In the first heat the horses
got off well, Dexter leading, and giving a
taste ofvhis quality by trotting the first quar-
ter in 37 seconds. Stonewall Jackson then
drew up, but did not succeed in dispossessing
Dexterpf the lead which he maintained to
the end of the heat; time, 2 m. 33 s. In the
next heat Stonewall Jackson led nearly half-
way round the course when he was over-
hauled and passed by Dexter, who kept the
lead, winning the heat in 2 m. 36 s. In the
third best Dexter opened a wide gap be—
tween himself end his two 'competitors,
which was never closed. He won this heat
2 In. 34% s., and with it the highest opinion
of all who had been witnesses of the race.
Not only his style of trotting, but his appar-
ent vigor and courage, impressed every one
with the idea of a great horse, and caused
much speculation as to his future. Looking
back now, there appears to have been a
chance for speculation of more easily com-
putable value,as Dexter could probably have
been bought at that time for five thousand
dollars. Two days afterwards Dexter beat
Lady Collins on the Union Course. ' In the
interval between the last heats Commodore
Vanderbilt drove his famous team Plough--
boy and Postboy, around the course several
times in fine style, but made no attempt to‘
compete with the time placed upon record
' by Mr. Bonner with Lady Palmer and Flat-
bush Maid. On the 3d of J unc, Dexter star-
ted in a race with two other Hambletonians
Shark and Hamblctonian Second, but struck
his leg in the first heat, and was withdrawn.
He did not appear on the turf again airing
1864.
In the early part of this season there was a
great revival of trotting in all parts of the
country. In the West as well as in the East
there was an unusual activity on the turf.
At Cincinnati, Quaker Boy trotted in 2m.
30% 5.; at Chicago, Black Diamond beat
General Grant and Boston; at Woodlawn,
Kentucky, Rolla Golddust distanced Jerry
Morgan in 2 In. 29% s.; at Hartford, Connec-
ticut, John Morgan beat Prince, trotting five
beaten—the fifth ill 2 m. 28% s.; at Spring-
field, Massachusetts, Dan Mace beat General
Butler, trotting under the saddle, one heat, in
2 m. 31 s.; and later in the season at Boston,
Belle of Hartford and mate trotted in double
harness in 2 m. 33% s.
The principal races of the year, however,
Lady Emma, May Queen, and Dan Mace
met in a race -on Union Course, which was
won by Lady Emma in three successiveheats
—-two of which were trotted in 2 m. 27% s.
Wilkes and John Morgan in a great race on
the first two boats; but through the dis-
graccful conduct of his driver, in driving
foul, lie was distanced by the judges in the
third, although he won the heat in 2 In. 24 s.
The fourth and fifth were won by General
contest appurentlyas fresh and vigorous as
when he went into it. On the 16th,Torouto
Chief, the famous son of Royal George, beat
Shark, on the Union Course, in 2 m. 25% s.;
and July 8th, Shark was also beaten by Go-
shen Maid in 2 in. 31% s.
On the 21st of September a great race be-
tween the champions General Butler, Lady
Emma, Prince, and John Morgan took place
on the Fashion Course. It was won by
Prince, of Hartford, who trotted the three
last of five heats 2 m. 28% s., 2 in. 30% s.,
and 2m. 30% s., beating at the same time
October 8 there was another-meeting of
ed also; and, if he had trotted, it would have
included nearly all" the great rival on the turf.
As it was, the celebrity of the horses en-
gaged in it, and the fact of their having trot-
ted together a few weeks before, excited very
great interest in the race. Their previous
trial had 'been in harness; this was to wag-
ons. Lady Emma was the favorite, and she
came on the ground in the finest condition;
Star, from Sir Henry. She is therefore the Prince had the prestige of success; while g
General Butler and John Morgan were well
sustained by their friends, upon the strength
of their many victories. The race was wor-
thy the reputation of the horses engaged, and
fully met public expectations. It was indeed
one of the best that was ever trotted. Lady
Emma increased her reputation by winning
every heat. Her time was 2 m. 27% s., 2 In.
26% s., and 2 in. 269.1 5. Flora Temple, in
her best race to wagons, trotted three beats
in 2 m. 25 s.,2 m. 27% s., and 2 m. 27% 5.,
better than the time of Lady Emma in this
race. .

trotted a three-mile race with Shark, in
which he made. the best three-mile time on
record, excepting that of Dutchman. He
same time as the first,—7,m. 39 s. Shark
showed himself a worthy antagonist, and
his splendid trotting made the race very in-
teresting. October 17 the horse Commodore
Vanderbilt beat Toronto Chief in 2 m. 3394
., and established his reputation as a first
class trotter,—a reputation which be fully
sustained the following year. On the 21st of
October Lady Theme, the famous daughter

Connecticut Dead at Memphis.
We have received the Memphis papers of
the 3lst of Man-Containing along account
of the dedication, on the day previous, of
the Mississipi River National Cemetery, sit-
uated about six miles from that city. It com-
prises 40 acres of ground, and was laid out ~
and constructed during the past- year under
the direction of Lieut. Parkinson, U. S. A.
Between thirteen and fourteen thousand of
the boys in blue lie buried there, in lots ap-
portioned off to their various states, where
they are identified, and in the lots of the ‘ un-
known’ where the are not. Alnong the
State lots, we notic n the plan a little sec-

of $17 ; one concerning school for imbecilies
exempting certain property from taxation ;
all came from the House referred, and Sen-
ate concurred.
Bill giving the Shore Line railroad com-
pany permission to build a bridge over the
Connecticut river.
Mr. Coit remarked that the House had ex—
tensively debated the subject; he was wil-
lillg the matter should be disposed of as the
House had disposed of it.
Mr. Brainard said he had requested post-
ponement: he was very unwell; he would
proceed anyway. The Connecticut river
has always been let alone; now, after the
failure of the extension—after all the legis-
lature has granted, it now wants to bridge
the Connecticut; it should not be granted.
Mr. Griggs spoke ; he had thought to speak
at length; he would occupy but a little while;
for 20 years he had been in favor of bridging
the Connecticut; he had heard no good and
sufficient reason why it should not be bridg-
ed; he had listened to the -arguments and
was more in favor of the bridge than ever.
Mr. Stevens felt it his duty to present his
views. {Is there not more delay at New
London -than there is at Lyme? a very
strange argument that this is wanted for a
trunk line ; he crossed the ferry last summer;
the time or crossing was just six minutes;

ton save six minutes the people are to suffer;

Mr. Brainard accepted the amendment. _
Mr. Gallagher Opposed; it would be econ;
only to dispose of the business this afternoon.
He moved to put the time for the vote at four
o’clock, etc.
Mr. Coit said the bill came in frOm the
House nearly a week ago, and gave other
facts to show that there had been abundance
of time, and that it was absurd to wait for a
vote for another session.
Mr. Austin spoke at length. [All the
standing room in the Senate chamber was
filled with prominent gentlemen interested
in the result of the discussion] He'wished
debate, postponed until 10% A. M. tomor-
row. ,
Mr. Stevens spoke at length; he would de-
fend the rights of his constituency ; he would
do so in spite of flings and sneers ; he would

der; he talks about being gagged; anti-
bridge men have had almost all to say on
the subject.
The amendment was carried 11 to 6. '

At 11 o’clock Mr. Austin called for the or-
der of the day—the petition of David Lyman
for amendment of the charter of the New
, Haven, Middletown and Wiliimatic railroad
company, concerning the “Air Line Bridge.”
Mr. Bruinard said his people were opposed
to a low bridge over the Connecticut river.
MIIHubbard said the question had been
discussed fully, and asked for a yea and nay
vote.
Mr. Stevens had some facts to present. We
have authorized one draw—the Senate had
better wait and see how this one would
work. .
Mr. Griggs spoke at length eloquently in
favor of the bridge.
The vote was taken and the result was
as follows . . .
