To be trampled In mud by the crowd passing by,
To be trampled and tracked by thousands of feet,

Fell to be trampled as filth of the street;
Fell to be s.offed, to be spit on and boat,

Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing in shame for a morsal of bread,

HOW GENERAL HANCOCK BE
CAME A CADET.
Urn 1.3 following is Chapter IV of the
life of General Hancock, just issued by
Ashwend R Evans, Philadelphia.]
At the time of which we are now writ
ing, there resided in a populous part of
Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, a gen
tleman well known fur his extensive in
fluence in political circles. His deep in
terest in the arrangement of public mat
ters induced him to take long and fre
quent rides tbrough different parts of the
country, and places adjacent. Ile once
represented that distiiet in the Congress
of the United States. fl is type of char
acter lcd him to be strong in his likes
and dislikes; to be decided to his friend
ship and equally decided in his enmity
For quite a ntunber of years, in the
prosecution of hi. prolinn, he had cm
ployed one of the best Iror:-es in that sec-
M., Professor of the
lion of the country. With his trusty
steed, when a pressing micasion demand
ed, be was accustomed to start off, at
times in the middle of the night, reach
tie dwellings et the wembeta of his par
ty he desired to sue, rouse them from their
slumbers, commumeate the intelligence
or eminser he thought of importance, and
then, after driving or riding wiles in his
solitary routes of duty, to return to his
office as the first beams of day gilded the
surrounding landscape. Many a public
movement has been annotin , ed in the pa
pers, many a political event has controll
ed the party destinies of that, district, and,
to sonic extent, of the state and country,
which had its unknown origin in the mid
i] ig h t
,jatrneys of this Montgomery coun
ty traveler.
Like other somewhat. eccentric men,
having no wife to love, he loved his horse.
The noble animal was his companion iu
all these secret trips. It had become ac
customed to his night approaches in the
the comfortable stables ; it had sped for
him, either bearing him on its back or
drawing him in his vehicle, through high
ways and by ways; it had patiently and
quietly waited fur him, through summer
and winter, in sunshine and in storm, at
the places s.ilected by its master fur his
strategic interviews; and had thus, in
many ways, enabled him to accumphsh
objects that were dear to his heart.
But. strung and enduring as the
it cannot last forever. 'Thew came a
time when the good steed of our fr.end,

just about to descend on the lacerated
back of the poor creature, he exclaimed :
"Hold ! What are you about, flogging
that horse in that brutal manner?"
The driver began to reply, when he a
gain oried out :
"Where did you buy the animal?"
CU
~" (naming the par
ty to whom the lawyer had presented it.)
'•What did you pay?"
"Seventy-five dollark."
"And he took that money for this
horse :"
"Yes, sir ; I paid him cash down."
"You did ? Well you may come down
your self, now."
The driver descended from his dray,
and stood, looking with wonder at his
questioner, while be, in turn, looked, with
something rather different, at him.
"Now, tell me," he resumed, as calm•
ly as possible, "why did you strike such
a handsome horse in that way ?"
"I know it's handsome, air ; quick yet,
in a light buggy; but then the critter
ain't strong ; it's too old, 'squire "
"So then ; you cur, and lash a noble
horse because he's old, do you ?''
"I've been cheated, 'squire, by the
man I bought of."
'Been cheated, eh? I think you have!'
"And you are not the only one who
has been cheated about that horse."
"What will you take the anitUal?"
take a hundred dollars; for 'it'll
be some trouble fur me to get another
who'll sell as well."
''My friend ! here are your hundred
dollars. The horse is mine—again !
have always hell that beautiful c'eature
to be worth wore than twice as much. I
would not take five hundred, now !"
"Then you've made a good bargain,
'squire."
"Yes ; a very good bargain ; tho' 1
have been so/d, thymlf; but this is the
last time thk horse will ever be.''
"Take it out of that dray, as quick as
your hands will let you ! Go ! get a dray
horse, that will bear loading and thragi
ing better than this one r"
The still wondering drayman instinc
tively obeyed, and the horse, yet tremb
ling and wet with fatigue and blows, was
led to the stables of the Montgomery
Hotel, where several dap and nights of
rest and care were required to regtore thu
usual appearance and qualities At the
end of that time the revived pc' was a
gain in its old home, suitably enlarged
for thb purpose, and receiving its fun
share of wonted kindness.
Now it happened that at the time this
occurrence was taking place, the party
who had thus summarily disp,,ed of the
present of our legal friend, removed a por
tion of his family into illontgoinerycoun-
ty His reason for doing so was that he
heard a cadet was about being selected
there for West Point, and he thought by
that device to secure the appointment fur
his son. Ile had no right to solicit the
favor. Ile was not a resident of the dis
trict, never had been, and never exfPect
ed to be. Ills temporary location there
was a subterfuge, a ruse; as mean an act
as his selling the present of his friend, to
be treated brutally in its old age.
The lawer discovered the base trick
as he had discovered that practiced WI
him in the matter of his (quint. tuvurire;
and, with his usual promptitude. (let, r
mination and sagaer), he proceeded at
once to thwart the trickster 11 it h the

the fact that she took that active part in
it becoming her position. Unintention
ally to herself stili . had nourished some of
the early military proclivities of the boy.
She had helped to equip' him in his juve
nile uniform, when at the bead of his
miniature company of Norristown volun
teers, while his father had; been busy
with other affairs. She knew well the
bent of the mind of the boy. Winfield
himself was consulted in the matter; and
the decision was made.
The pawing hoof's of the venerable steed.
on the pavement in front of the house
told that the applicant for Winfield was
soon again at the door. The mOment it
opened, the clear voice of the still mount
ed lawyer made the earnest inquiry.
"Well, Mr. Hancock! what do you
say ? I am all ready to complete the busi
ness. Shall Winfield go ?"
"Yes sir !" was the quite respone.
In an instant more the horse and rider
were galloping, down the street, across
the adjacent bridge, to the temporary res
idenee of the incumbent congressman.
The secret history of that morning ride
by that Pennsylvania civilian, on that
petted old horse, of his interview with
that member of congress, of their mutual
conference and cmjectures with regard to
young Winfield, is all locked up in the
past. What anticipations lot the future
of the boy gh.wed in the bosom of that
rider arc all hurried with him in the
grave. All unknown to us now are the
hopes he indulged of the career of the
cadet; how fondly he may have imagin
ed him realizing all his expectations; s•ic
ceeding in the udtnin-ion ; passing the
ordeal of three year, of study ; receiving
his commission and entering the army of
the natioa ; serving the rf quisite term in
subordinate positions, thorough drill, dis
cipline, and the privations of camp, fort
ress, and march ; encountering hunger,
disease, fatigue and battle ; perhaps ris
ing to eminence among the eons of the
Republic who should graduate with him
from t hose classic and warlike enel.lstm s;.
until in bright perspective, the name of
his youthful protege might be horwred
and distingui,lied in American military
annals
That solitary rider on that patriotic
mission passed near the silent shades of
the Valley Forge, audible .:e.unnityL of tins

winding road carried hint beside the lone

unkn,wn, in the early struggle of

SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE
Continued.
HIS BOOTS
"Err! well then, Monsieur Mutuel!
*hat do I know; what can I say? I as
sure you that he calls himself Monsieur
The Englishman."
"Pardon. BUCI - think it impossible,"
'said Monsieur Mutuel.—A spectacled,
' snuffy , stooping old gentlernan.in carpet
rshoes and a cloth cap with a peaked shade,
a loose blue frock-coat reaching to his
heels, a large limp white shirt-frill, and
cravat to correspond, that is to say, white
was the natural color of his linen on Sun
'irifys, but it toned down with the'week.
"It is," repeated Monsieur Mutuel;
his amiable old walnut-shell countenance,
very walnut.shelly indeed as he smiled
and blinked in the bright morning sun
light—" it is, my cherished Madame Bou
'let, I think impossible."
"Hey!" (With a little vexed cry and a
great many tosses of her head.) " Hut
it is not impossible that you are a Pig '"
retorted Madame Rimelet; a compact lit
tle, vvon,an of thirty five or so "See then
—look there—read! On the iecutel floor
Monsieur L' Anglais ' Is it not so?"
" It is so," said Monsieur Mutuol.
"Good. Continue your morning war:
Got out:" Madame Bouclet dismissed
him with a lively snap of her fingers.
The morning walk of Monsieur Mutu
al was in the brightest patch that the sun
made in the Grande Place of a dull old
fortified French town. The manner of
hi? .morning walk was with his hands
crossed behind hun ; an umbrella, in fig
ure the express image of himself, always
in one hand.; a snuff-box in the other.
Thus with the shuffling gait of the Ele
phant (who really dues deal with the very
worst trowsers-maker employed by the
Zoological world, and who appeared to
hare recommended Lim to Monsieur Mu
tuel,) the old gentleman sunned himself
daily when sun was to be had—of course,
at the same time sunning a red ribbon at
his button•hole; for was he not an ancient
Frenchman ?
Being told by one of the nngelic aex
to continue his morning walk and get out,
_Me-usienr N 4141101 laughed w walnut-shell
laugh, pulled off his cap at arms-length
with the hand that contained his snuff
box, kept it off for a considerable period
after he had parted from Madame Bouclet,
and ,aontinued his morning walk and got
out ; like a man of gallantry as he was.
The documentary evidence to which
Madame Bouclet had referred Monsieur
Mutuel was the list of her lodgers, sweet-

Book keeper, who held the pen of an An

could be plainer.
Madame Bouclet now traced the line
with her forefinger, as it were to confirm

Monsieur Mutuol, and so, placing her

as if milking should over tempt her to

man to himsolf, as his eye rolled over
the. Place, sprinkled with military here
and there, "are no more like soldiers—l"
Nothing being sufficiently strong for the
end of his sentence, he left it upended.
This again (from the point of view of
his experience) was strictly correct; for,
though there was a great agglomeration
of soldiers in the town and neighboring
country, you might have held a grand
Review and Field Day of them every
one, and looked in vain among them all
for a soldier choking behind his foolish
stock, or a soldier lamed by his ill-fitting
shoes, or a soldier deprived of the use
of his limbs by straps and buttons, or a
soldier elaborately forced to be self-help
less in all the small affairs of life. A
swarm of brisk bright active bustling
handy odd skirmishing fellows, able to
turn to cleverly at any thing, from a
siege'to soup, from great guns to needles
and thread, from the broadsword exer
oise to slicing an onion, from making
war to making omelets, was all you would
have found.
What a swarm From the Groat Place
under the eye of Mr. The Englishman,
where a few awkward squads from the
last conscription were doing - the goose
step—some members of those squads
still as to their bodies in the chrysalis
peasant-state of Blouse, and only mili
tary butterflies as to their regimentally
clothed legs—from the Great Place, away
outside the fortifications ''and away fur
miles along the dusty roads, soldiers
swarmed. All day long, upon the grass
grown ramparts of the town, practicing
soldiers trumpeted and bugled; all day
long, down in angles of dry trenches,
practicing soldiers drummed and drum
med. Every forenoon, soldiers burst
out of the great barracks into the sandy
gymnasium -ground hard by, and flew
over the wooden horse, and hung on to
flying ropes, and dangled upside-down
between parallel bars, and shot. them
selves off wooden platforms, splashes,
sparks, coruseationi, showers, ofsoldiers.
At every corner of the town well, every
guard-house, every gateway, every sen
try-box, every draw-bridge, every reedy
ditch and rushy dyke, soldiers soldiers
soldiers. And the town being pretty
well -all wall,'gua-rd-house; - gateway, sen
try-box, draw-bridge, reedy ditch and
rushy dyke, the town was pretty wellall
soldiers.
What would the sleepy old town have
been without the soldiers, seeing that
even with them it had so oterslept itself
as to have slept its echoes hoarse, its de
fensive bars and locks and bolts and
chains all rusty and its ditches stagnant !
From the days when VAUBAN engineered
it to that perplexing extent that to look
at it was like being knocked on the head
with it; the stranger becoming stunned
and stertorous under the shock of its
incomprehensibiliiy—from the days when
VAUBAN made it the express incorpora
tion of every substantive and adjm:tive
in the art of military engineering, and
not only twisted you into it and twisted
you out of it, to the right, to the left,
opposite, under her, over there, in the
dark, in the dirt, by gateway, archway,
covered way, dry way, went way, fosse,
portcullis, draw-bridge, sluice, squat
tower, pierced wall, and heavy battery,
but likewise took a fortifying dive un
der the neighboring country, and came
to the surface three or Ii)or miles off,
blowing out ineomprehemdble mounds
and batteries among the quiet corps of
chicory and beet-root—from those days
to these the town had been asleep, and
dust and rust and must had settled on
is drowsy Arsenals aad Magazines, and
grass had grown up in its silent streets.
On market-days alone its Great Place
suddenly leaped out of bed. On mar
ket-days, some friendly enchanter struck
his staff upon the stones of the Great
Place, and instantly arose the livliest
booths and stalls and sitting and stand
iwt, and a pleasant hum of chaffering
4.Al huckstering from many hundreds
a •
tongues, and a pleasant though pecu
liar blending of colors—white caps, blue
blouses, and green vegetables—and at
last the Knight destined for the adven-
ture seemed to have come in earnest
and all the Vagbanois sprang up awake.
And now, by lon . g low-lying avenues of
trees, jolting in white-hooded donkey

massive golden chains and ear-rings,,and
blue-feathered hat, shaded from the ad
miring sun by two immense umbrellas
of artificial roses, to dispense (from mo
tives of philanthropy) that small and
pleasant dose which had cured so many
thousands! Toothache earache head-
ache stomachache debility nervousness
fits faintings fever ague, all equally cured
by thesmall and pleasant dose of the great
Physician's great daughter The pro
cess was this : she the Daughter of a
Physician, proprietress of the superb
equipage you now admired, with its con
firmatory blasts of trumpet drum and
cymbal, told you so :—On the first day,
after taking the small and pleasant dose,
you would feel no. particular influence
beyond a most harmonious sensation of
indescribable and irrestible joy; on the
second day, you would be so astonish
ingly better that you would think your
self changed into somebody else; on the
third day, you would be entirely free
from your disorder, whatever its nature
and however long you had had it, and
would seek out the Physician's daugh
ter, to throw 'Yourself at her feet, kiss
the hem of her garment, and buy as
many more of the small and pleasant
doses as by the sale of all your few ef
fects you could obtain; but she would
be inaccessible—gone for herbs to the
Pyramids of Egypt—and you would be
(though cured) reduced to despair !
Thus would the Physician's daughter
drive her trade (and briskly too,) and
thus would the buying and selling and
mingling of tongues and colors con
tinue until the changing sunlight,
leaving the .Physician's Daughter in the
shadow of high roofs, admonished her
to jolt out westward, with a departing
affeet of gleam and glitter on the splen
did equipage and brazen blast. And
now the enchanter struck his staff upon
the stones of the Great Place once more,
arid down went the booths the sittings
and standings, and vanished the mer
chandise, and with it the barrows don
keys donkey -carts and tumbrils and all
other things on wheels and feet, except
the slow scavengers with unwieldly carts
and meagre horses, clearing up the rub:
bish, assisted by the sleek town pigeons,
better plumed out than on non-market
days. While there was yet an hour or
two to wane beb)re the autumn sunset
the loiterer outside town-fiate and draw
bridge and postern and double-ditch,
would see the last white-hooded cart
lessening in the avenue of lengthening
shadows of trees, or the last country
boat, paddled by the last market-woman
on her way home, showing black upon
the,reddening long low narrow dyke be
tweenhim and the mill; and as the pad
dlepartcd scum and weed closed over
the boat's track, he might be comfort
ably sure that its sluggish rest would be
troubled no more until nest market day.
As it was at 01111 of the Great Place's
days for getting out of bed when Mr.
The Englishman looked down at the
young soldiers part icipating in the goose
step there, his mind was left at liberty to
take a military turn.
" These fellows aro billeted 'every
where about," said he, "and to see them
lighting the people's fires, boiling the
people's pots minding the people's ba
bias, rocking the people's cradles, wash.

To judge from the way in which ttig
dimpled hand was rubbing the eyes,_.@►e
eyes had been closed in a nap and Were
newly opened. But they seemed to be
look it, g, so intently moss the Place, that
the Englishman looked in the same dim-
tion.
"Oh l" said he, presently, "I thoughta
as much. The Corporal's there." .
Tho Corporal, a smart figure of a mart
of thirty : perhaps a thought under the
middle size, but very neatly made—a sun
burnt Corporal with a broWn•perked beard
—faced about at the moment. addressing
voluble words of instruction to the squad
in hand. Nothing was amiss or awry a
bout the Corporal. A lithe and nimble
Corporal, quite complete, from the spark.
ling eyes under his knowing uniform cap,
to his sparkling white gaiters. The very
image and presentment of a Corporal of
his country's army, in the line of his
shoulders, the line of his waist, the broad
est line of his Bloomer trowsers, and their
narrowest line at the calf of his leg.
Mr The Englishman looked on, and the
child looked on, and the Corporal looked
on (but the last named at his men), until
the drill ended a few minutes afterward
and the military sprinkling dried up di
ree,ly and was gone. Then said Mr. The
Englishman to himself, "Look here I By
George !" And the Corporal, dancing to
ward the Barber's with his arms wide o
pen, caught up the child, held her over
his head in a flying attitude, caught her
down again, kissed her, and made off with
her into the Thrber's house.
Now, Mr. The Englishman had had a
quarrel with his erring and disobedient
and disowned daughter, and there was a
child in that case too. Had not his
daughter been a child, and had she not
taken angel-flights above his head as this
child had flown above the Corporal's
" He's a" National Participled—
" fool ! " said the Englishman. And shut
his window.
13. it tho windows of the house of Mem
ory, and the windows of the house of
Mercy, are not so easily closed as win
dows of •glass and wood. They fly open
unexpectedly; they rattle in the night;
they must be nailed up. Mr. The En•
glishman had tried nailing them, but had
not driven the nails quite home. So he
-passed- but a - disturbed — evening ate a
worse night.
By nature a good-tempered man? No;
very little gentleness, confounding the
quality with weakness. Fierce and wrath
ful when crossed ? Very, and stupendous
ly unreasonable. Moody ? Exceedingly
so. Vindictive ? Well, he had scowling
thoughts that he would formally curse his
daughter, as he had seen it done on the
stage. But remembering that the real
Heaven in some paces removed from the
mock one in the great chandelier of the
Theatre, he had given that up.
And he had come abroad to be rid of
his repudiated daughter for: .:the rest of
his life. And here he was- -
At bottom, it was for this reason more
than for any other that Mr. The English
man took it extremely ill tliat Corporal
Theophile should be so devoted to little
Bebelle, the child at the Barber's shop.
In an unlucky moment he had chanced
to say to himself, "Why, confound the
fellow, he is not her father I" There was
a sharp sting in the speech which ran in
to him suddenly and put him in a worse
mood. So he had National Participled
the uncons&ous Corporal with most hearty
emphasis, and had made up his mind to
think no more about such a incitntebank.
But it came to pass that the Corporal
was not to be dismissed. If be had known
the most delicate fibres of the English
man's mind, instead of nothing knowing
on earth about him, and if he had been
the most obstinate Corporal in the Urand
Army of France instead of being the most
obliging, he could not have planted him
self with more, determined immovability
plumb in the Midst of all the English
luau's thoughts. Not only so, but he
