TIE DISCOVERY
I reached the city of Philadelphia
weary and. travelatained. Registering
my name at theliotel,. I rushed up stairs
-into the room allotted tome, to refresh
myself with a change of linen. I un
locked my ' carpet-bag, thrust in my
hand, and brought out—a pair of deli
cate lace under-sleeves,
"1: wonder how sornd ofl sister Nell's
'florins' got inhere?" I said to myself.
I made another dive with no better
success—bringing tollglif la watterfall,
twU "rats" ,(i,lnit'S what Nell . calls 'enf,)
and a pair of side-combs. I .stared at
them in astonishment. I shukthe bag ,
and examined.it. Hit WaS not mine It
was one remarkably like it. I tureed
bottoM upwards. Were my initials
there? No—but somebody else's were.
"Well, here's ago :" I muttered. "I
have got the wrong carpet-hag, and it
woman's atiliat. M. J:
stand for 'Mary - Jane Peekover.' This
is provoking, but not to be helped. I,
go on with the inventory."
Emptying the bag, IsfoUnd: a variety'
of artFeles, describable and Indescriba
ble. A bundle of letters * tied with blue
ribbon, a diary, a photograph albtim,
eta, 'The latter containedl'photographs
of men in military uniforMs—all fine
looking fellows. Under one was written
"Brother John—missing sincethe battle,
of Cedar Mountain;" upon another;
r "Brot ler Ralph—diedatA.ndersonville,
I, - . l 864.;" under another,,
Oliver, Major in the 45th,1"
"A patriotic girl! I said, closing the
album. ./ ,
The diary next claimed my attention.
The chirography was excellent. I read
a few pages. The writerevidentlywas a
keen observer—Shrewd, piquant, racy.
I subjoin a few.
11. EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY.
Thursday, Nov. lat.—A rainy, chilly,H
disagreeable day. Tried to sew ; it
found that it' htbrt my eyes; tried to
write,' but could not'` concentrate my
thoughts; took up a book, and flung, it
away, vexed at the stupidity of the au
thor. Why cannot people write about
natural thingei naturally? Why must
they warp sentimeht, overstrain prob
abilities, belie the commonest experi
ences?
This afternoon little Abbio came up
to my room. I hugged and kissed her.
She brough a plenitude Of sunshine
with her. I would like to fee the artist'

ITOSPITALITY' REWARDED.
- The following characteristic anecdote
is, related of the Count de Dijon a be
neavolent French Nobleman.
One morning during the last winter,
being at his country residence ho recol
lected that the lease of an Inn called the
Red r(Aki, about three leagues distant,
had expired. The landlord was solidi
.ting a renewal ; but wishing to judge of
thepremises, he setout on foot, although
the weather was intensely cold, and
the snow falling.
At some distance from his chateau die
overtook a wagoner walking along by
the side of his cart. Betweerlpedestrains
acquaintance is soon made and it was
not. lonk before'tlie. count discovered
that the man's name was Penot, his
wife's name Marianne; and that he had
five children, and as many horses, and
that all he had to depend on for the sup-
Port of his family and cattlis was his ,
errand cart. • -
• 'But all at once, whilethey were walk
ing on in earnest convdrsation,the lead-
Irfg horse made a false' step, fell down,
and broker - his leg. At this sight the
wagoner criedi'out - in despair, and be
gan. to use epithet which are not to be
found in any - vocabulary of polite con
versation.
;" You do wrong to utter Buell lan
guage," said his companiop ; ." your
conduct in this small misfortune is'real
ly How can you tell what may
be the intentions of Providence towards
youV;
" Will you hold your peace?" replied
the wagoner. " I wish you were in my
place, and that you were losing that fine
horse instead of me. Do you know that
he cost .me twenty-five louts? Do you
know how much twenty-fivo louts are?
r• am afraid not. • What will my poor
Marianne •say? No, if God were just,
Ho would never have permitted the
horse of a poor man like me, with a
large' family; to have broken his leg.".
" And I tell you again, my friend,
that it-is wron: doubt the goodness
of God, and for twenty-five miserable
' A.• . .
''" You talk 'very much at your ease
about twenty-five miserable louis; as if
vou..knew anything at all about them.
bid such a sum ever find its way /into
your pocket, I' ivonder? Oh my !poor
horse! Twenty-five louis aro not to 'l)e
found upon the highways.
".Well, Y Will kive.you the twenty
five Louis; so compose yourself," said
the count:,
" Oh, you are making gaineof mcinto
the. bargain !" exclaimed the wagoner,
throwing s a contempthous look at the
well-wornthrown surtout of his com
panion. " You will give them to
you will steal them .then, I suppose
',Cerne,isay no more about it, but lend a
- hand at unharnessing the poor beast.
Marianne, poor Marianne! what will
she say I,"
The count readily:did as he was de
sired; and gave all the assistance, in his
power; but this accident having caused
considerable• delay, they, did not arrive
until late at the Ited Cross-Inn.
" Can you give me a room and a bed?'
said the count to the landlord.
The latterseeing, afoot traveler cover
ed with now, and. without either a
cloak or an umbrella, haughtily replied
" there is no 'room for you hem; you
must gotelsewliere,"
" But I should have to go -a ,league
further, which would be very unpleaB.:
ant in frost anti snow : let 'Me have a
place . I aril nod particular," •
" I should think not, indeed," re
plied that the hostess; " but our inn is,
not for every one that conies along. I
admit none' but respectable people—all
wagoners; I will admityour companion,
but not you. ,,
" Allow me at least, madame, to share
the supper and room of my companion.'
" As to that, it is rio concern of mine ;
you.must settle it with him."
The count then turning to the wagon
er, repeated his request.
" Well, be it so. Come then, good
woman, supper for two and a comforta.;
ble room."
When supper was over, they 'paid
their reckoning, and retired to• their
itl)artments the tount then made some
inquiries respecting the people of the,
house.
" I know," replied Penot, " they have
well feathered their. nest; this' IA the
only inn in the district, and during the
.nine years they have kept it, they must
have laid
_by a prett sum.'-'Oh, if my
poor Marianne - and Thad such an inp I
should not grieve so much - for the loss
of my poor horse!" •
" "Weil, if this house suits, you shall
have IL"
" Why, how, bravely you talk! First
you say you will give me twenty-five
louis, and then you say you will give
me an inn. cannot help laughing at
the idea. However, take care ; tell
youl won't be played upon." , ' •
"No play in the case. tell you that
if youVte this house, I will give to
you," replied his companion.
" And I tell you again, thatif you say
Another word, I will turn you out of the
room," said the wagoner.
He seemed like a perssai to do so, there
fore the'count said no more.
T7ie,next•morning the count rose ear
-13, and repaired to his solicitor in the
next 'town. After' sonie conversation
between him and the soliditor, the lat
ter set off for the Red Cross. •
.On reaching the inn, be told the laud
lord that th'o count had arrived.
- " Mercy ou us!" exclaimed the land
lady,." where is.he? Why would he not
honor us by putting up ).sere?"-
"He came here, but you 'refused to
admit him," replied ,the attorney.
" That is not true: he , never came
here."
" Yes," said the attorneY, " he .eame

HOW , I CAME TO BE A SOLDIER:
,
It was not for love of my country, nor
yet for glory or fame. No, I had no
patriotism then, and as for glory and
fame x cared riot for them.: Ctiffous,
then, vas it not, that Ishould have vol
unteered to , join theJ Federal Army
when it was trying to subduelthe rebel
lious South ? 13nt I will tell you how
it all came about.
In the year 1860 r wasfroprletor of a
moderately sized : farm in' proprietor
having on it a snug litt e cottage, sur
rounded•by a neat garden of flowers and
vegetables ; a good barn and other-nut
buildings which it was my pride to keep
in the most perfect order. I had for my
wife one of the loveliest women both in
looks an d.character, that these eyes ever
looked upon ; and with three sweet
children, George Alice, and baby
Blanche, my happiness was 'complete.
I think no group ever ,enjoyed more of
bappines, and we thought It would
always continue, neve4 thinking the
end was so near.
I. employed no negroes about the
place ;,doing my own work, and mind
ing my own business, not meddling
with polities, and knowing nothing el
party prejudices.
Things went on in this way till the
year 1801, at the :time Fort Sumter was
tired linen. Now my . hitherto quiet
neighbors began to talk loudly of Seces
sion ; of rights which they had 'been
cheated out of; Of a new government,
which, , under the management
southern gentlemen, would be productive
of au immense amount of, good. That
the Yankees had• cheated them long ,
enough, and that snow the time had
conic to assert their rights, and put down
these mean, despicable tyrants. who had
held the reins of government too long.
I did not join in these routings, nor
,did I attempt to gainsay them. I knew
but little about our government an. I
could not tell whether it was conductet
by tyrants or not: I qnly knew that I
had lived a quiet, peaceable life, and
there had beeninOne to disturb me 'or
make me afraid. '
- Now things began to take on a. new
arpeet. Excited grorups of men Met at
the village tavern, where there w 0 loud
talk- of battles; of -Yankee inOders
who would devastate the land, an steal
their slaves. But I did not heed their
ravings, feeling secure from receiving
visits from the " cowardly. Yanks," as
they were styled by my neighliors, the
slave-holders.
But one day, having an .errand ta
king me to Lexington, some sixty miles
away. I bid good bye to my darling
wife, and precious children, telling them
I would be back in 'three_ days at the
farthest, and departed, ridimmy swift
est horse, and secretly determining that
I would be back one day before the giv-_
en time, and give tpem tt_ happy sur
prise.
I had' successful ride to Lexington,
performed my- errand, and with 'a few
presents forl my wife and children in
my pocket's, I started homeward. On
my way I heard of, a band of -Con fed
erates,,who.Were mustering their forces
in the neighborhood of my own home.
I rode rapidly"forward never halting
,for a moment till I came in sight of my
own precious home, my earthly para
dise. I was almost in sight of the he
.loved spot, and thinking of the loved
ones I was so soon to°,greet, When I. was
startled by seeing dense clouds of smoke
ahe'ad, that I hail not before noticed. I
hurried op, breathless and anxious, for
feta. of some harm that might have he
fallen my loved ones; when what a
gigl4t burst on my vision ! It sent silch
a thrill of horror over rue, .as froze the
blood.in my veins.
..
' Where the cosy little cottage nestled
among the trees, and my happy home
but a short time ago stood, now nothing
was to)lie seen but black and smolder
ing ruins. I scarcely breathed as I has
tened-forward to see if my family wat
safe. I could - see noting of them and
now perceived, for the first time, that
my hurtle and other' ontbuilding,s were
also burned to the ground, my home;
and cattle gone, and every thing which
could be carried off • or destro y ed, was
served in that manner. This then was
no accident, nothing but premeditated
violence. • 'Who could have done the •
dreadful deed', and where were my' wife
and children, wore questions. I could
not solve; 'and I was about 'to mount
my horse to go to the neighboring hou
ses, the ~nearest being two miles off, to
search for my family, who I hoped had
been protected and eared for,•by some
neighbor. Butl thought I would take
a nearer view of the smoldering ruins
of my house. But what is that which
looks so strangely arnong.the.dying em
bers? I bent neker, and as a (rust of
blew away the blinding smoke, t 'l saw',
with fearful distinctness, four human
forms, burned to a coal. Ohl I cannot
express the dreadful horror and despair
of that moment, for I knew that ip was
my wife find children, and that wibked
hands (whose I knew not) had - ntur
dered them: I sank to lire ground in
sensible. IloW long I lay there I know
kot.
.But when I opened my•eves, the
moon was shining and a' luau I knew,
was pending over me. I groaned and
and i shuddered, as the dreadful remem
brance of Ivhat had passed came over
Inc. The than who was one of my near
est neighbors, 'told me all I did not
know of the dreadful deed. The band
of ruffians calling themselves soldiers,
and .southern chivalry, but who were
really nothing but what were afterward
called guerrillas,Under the l&tdership
of ti miserable ruffian named Jim Black,
haq avowed terrible vengeance on all

with them. - Finding no " Yankees''

wherever they found any one who was
suspected of being "for thd.Union."
' One suggested that imu2t be for thei
Union, as I had never taken -part in
their ravings against it. So they rushed
to my house, demanding of my wife to
-know where I was. She told them I
was not at home. They swore that I
•was, and if :she did not tell them where
to find me,' they would kill her; for her
'husband was a traitor to the South; and
they were after him. - But getting no
answer from the terrified lips of my
wife, they had murdeVed her and the
three children ; stolen the horses and
cattle, and burned all the buildings.—
All this he heard from the lips of one
of the party,' who was boasting of it as
tigepassed his house. He, for himself,
bad, although he bore strong love for
the:lTnion they were trying to destroy,
always in the presence of traitors, talked
to; please_ them, knowing it to be ',the
only 'Ante plan. " But now," said he,
" T. Will not live in this accursed neigh
borhood any. longer than -to safely re
move ' my family. But you, said he,
must start immediately far the Nth-th ;
there you will be safe. ,I will see that

to lose, for by morning those cowardly

I did as my friend directed ,and reach

joined tile ;Union' art iy. 'Not, as I said,
out of patriotism, but because I longed

THE, ?TORY OP THE ILIAD.
The story of the Died is very simple.
It • begins. with the quarrel of Agam
emnon and Achilles about acaptive girl
in the ninth year of the war. Achilles.
in anger withdraws -from the Grecian
camp. A series. of battles , follow, In
which the , Greeks, deprived ,•of their
swift-footed champion, suf f er defeat and
slaUghter. In-the mean time that sec=
ondary heroes press forward, and be
come the leading figures in the martial
picture. .Jn separate -- eitantS the val
iant deeds of Diomedes, Ajax, Menelaus,
Agamemnon, are commemorated, But
the, Trojans led on by the crested 311:
tor, drive the Greeks do*n to the very
ramparts pats of the , ships. One 'by one the.,
heroes are Wounded and disabled, and
the prospect of_ disastrous overthrott
stares the army in the face:
Agamemnon, at length, convinced of
his fatal error, and anxious to recall
the angry hero, sends out an 'embassy
with an offer of ampla•reparation.
The proposal is haughtily rejected.—
The war again -proceeds, with v - ryitig
fortunes. The Greeks are drivel with
in their walls, and the Trojans, ed on
h
by Hector, threaten to fire the s lips.—
The battle wavers, ector is wo nded,
the Tro:11.118 are driven back. Achilles
atAerrg ti consents that Patroclus, his
brother in tunes, shall put on his armor
and go orth to battle. The appearance -
