The original of the following letter was
found at Arlington House by a Federal
soldier:
AILINGTOS Horn, Aprills,
Mr Dun Son s—l am just Ia the ea of
leaving home for -New Mexico. My.fino
old .regiment has been ordered ,to that
distant region, and I must hasten on to
see that they are properly cared tor. I
bare but little to add in,reply to four letters of March 20, 21' and , 28. Your let
ters breathe a true spirit 'of4frankneas ;
they have given myself and your mother
great pleasure.. -You .must study to .'be
frank with the world ; frankness is the
child of honesty and courage. Say just
Whatqou mean to do on every ocoaaion,
and take it for granted you mean to do
right. If a friend flake a favor you should
grant it if it is reasonable ; if not, tell him
plainly why you cannot ; you will wrong
him and wrong yourself by equivocation
of any kind.i"Never do a wrong thing to
make a friend or keep one; the.man who
requires you ;to do so is dearly purchased
at a sacrifice.. Deal kindly, but ;firmly,
with all your classmates ; you will" findit
the policy which wears best. Above all
do not appear to others what you are not.
If you have any fault to find with any
one, toll him, not others, of what you
complain ; there is no more .dangerous
experiment than that of undertaking to
be one thing before a man'a face and a;1-
&bar behind his back. , We sbouklATlN
- i.ct - alfdTsay'hothing to the injury of any
one. It is• hot - only the best as a matter
of principle s , taut it is the path to pilau
,and hafor.
In regard 'to duty, la 4 tie, in conclusion
of this hasty hitter, inform you that nearly
.hundred years ago IteFe — was a day of
remarkable gloom and darknesa—pstill
nown as the dark day—a day when the
light of the 11.111 was slowlyextinguished,
as if by an eclipse. The. Legislature of
Connecticut was in session, and as its
members saw the unexpected and, unit&
ociuntable darkness coming off', they
shared in the general awaand terror. It
was supposed by many that the last day
—the day ofjudgment—hadconie. Some
one, io the consternation of the hour,
moved an adjouiliment. Then there arose
an old Puritan. legislator, Davenport/ of
Stamford, and skid that if the last day had
come, be desired to be found at, his place
doing his duty, and, therefore, moved
that-candles be brought in so that the
house could proceed with it duty. There
was quietness in that man's mind, the
quietness of heavenly wisdom and index•
ible willingness to obey present duty.—
Duty, then, is the sublimeat word in our
language. Do your duty in all 'things
like the old Puritan. You cannon do
more ; you should never wish to do lees. w
Never lit me and your mother ear one
gray hair for anydack of duty on your part.
Your affectionate father,
To G. W. Ccsvis Lim; '

Shelby and Clark. Among theiri camp
followers were - Aite dozens 4 negrOes who
acted as cooks, servants to ofitcers, and
the like, and professed as ardent an
attachment to Rebel principles as their
masters did. After' the fall of; the 'place,
theeesecestrhlnckamoors hunted up the
negicisoldiers who Were included in the
capitulation, and treated them liberally
..tojeers and curses, and to taunts of being
"Nigger Yankees" and "Lincolnites.—
They continued this - for some tim., until
one o f their numb, whose malice was of
inventive kind, went off, and in a few
minutesbrought - batik-irlarge,'bucket of

A few years since, Squire,G. was keep
ing a hotel in the town of State nr.
Indiana; It was just after the war with
Ilexico, and the volunteers had been dia•
banded, and were on their way hotne,
that among others that stopped at Squire'
O.', hotel •was a volunteer who carried
under
under his arm a cigar Sox. 'To the ques
tion if ,he could spend the night, the
Squire answered in the affirm ative..
-
"Give me your box," said the Squire.
It was handed to him, and he was about
placing -it under the bar room counter,
when the volunteer remarked, that Lbeiti
was a great curiosity in that box. f
"Ah 1" said the Squire, "I should like
to lee it."
The volunteer took the box, drew back
the lid. and e*posed to view one of those
horned frogs peculiar to 'Mexico. The
Squire, as he had never seen its like be
fore, took dui box and exhibited it to the
family, as weft as to several boaldifrabout
the house. .!The next morning the vol
unteercalled for his 141 . 1.
"Seventy-five - centS, sir," said the
(squire.
"Then you just owe me one dollar,"
said the volunteer.
"What for ?" asked the Squire, opening
his eyes.
, •
- "Why,for e:bibitit!gmy froilist night."
The Squire found he way fairly caught,
and without more ado, paid- the dollar.
The volunteer went on his wet l y - rejoicing,
