Of love to the poor.

A. STORY OF LOVE AND WAR.
Many of those who on Thursday morning
stopped to admire the very handsome faces
among the cartes devisites hung up at the
entrance of Ryder's Photographic gallery on
Superior street must have noticed the like
ness of a young and strikingly beautiful lady
attired in mourning, and those who stopped,
later in the day for the purpose of again
looking at that attractive face. noticed its
disappearance. With , that portrait and its
withdrawal from exhibition a very romantic,
but true story is connected, of which we are
at liberty to give the outlines.
About Ajear ago the ortinal of the poi.-
trait lived with-her father, "a well to do"
farmer of the grind liver valley, Michigan,
these two Constituting the entire family.—
The old man rapidly failing in health was
desirous that his daughter should be married
to a neighboring young farmer, who passion
ately loved her. The girl, however had giv
en her heart to a young man whom she had
frequently met, and was sincerely attached
to•her. The lover was not in a position that
would justify hispressing his suit, and there
fore the engagement was kept a secret.
The old man finding himself gradually
fairing in'health; , becsnie more urgent in his
wish that his daughter -would marry his
neighbor, but she -plaided •for de:ay on vari
ous pretexts.
.By some peons the .father at
length became possessed of the secret at
tachment, and without communicating' the
fact °flu; knowledge to his daughter, he
wrote'a letter to the Detroit lover, ,pointing
outihelopelesi3ness of his,suit, and stating
thatethe lady • was shortly to 'become the
beide 'of a young farmer for -whom she had.
keen for years-destined. He added that-an
ittempt -to change this decree would'be -giv
ing.the'kidy needless pain. --
Immediately oil the receipt of the , cruel
horr, the young man enlisted
in nidiehigan regiment, undei orders te leave

Thalidy's visaed lifer was short: Her
husband, who Witt, vet' kind to her and en

w'a s attacked by typhoid fever about a
month after marriage, and died after a few
'dap, illness, leaving the young widbw pox
sesied-Of Considerable, property.
AS aoofl as possible she set about dispo
sing of her property .at the West in order
that she might join her friends in New Eng
' land. During all this time nothing had been
heard to contradict the story of the death of
her former lover at Bull Run. Her affairs
were, after some delay, finally settled, and
she made a round of visit ' s to friends in the
West, previous to going to settle for life in
New England. Last week she arrived in
this city on her way east and spent a few
days with a lady friend residing here.
On Wednesday last, the young widow,
accompanied by her friend visited Ryder's
photographic gallery for the purpose of hav
ing some card likenesses taken, and this
proved to be an important step in her Mato..
ry. The picture was so admirable alikeness
that Mr. 'Ryder soliCited and obtained the
privilege of placing a copy in his case at the
.street entrance. On Thursday morning the
likeness made its appearance there, and, as
we have before remarked, attracted consider
able attention.
On that morning a number of Michigan
soldiers, taken prisoners at Ball Run and
set at liberty on parole after nine months'
incarceration in Southern prisons, arrived
from Washington; and remained in the city
until the departure of the Detroit boat in
the evening. During the day they amused
. emselves by strolling around the city. One'
of them seeing a group of people gathered
around the steps uear the Merchants' Bank
stepped up to learn the cause, and • like the
others, turned to examine the photograPhs.
Suddenly he uttered an exclamation of sur
prise, looked closely at the portrait of the
young widow, and then rushed up stairs to
find the artist. Mr. ,Ryder being pointed
out to him, the soldier brought him down
and begged to know how he came with the
picture, and an explanation was given. In
a few hurried words the soldier stated the
cause of his interest, obtained the picture
from the case, and declared his intention H of
finding the lady if she was 'anywhere to be
found.
Fortunately Mr. Ryder knew the,lady who
accompanied the young widow, and at once
went, with the soldier to her residence. Both
ladies were at home. No sooner did the
young widow see the soldier than she sh‘riek
ed and fell in a fainting fit, for her love

mained known to but few if any. Mutual
explanation followed the happy meeting, and
there is every indication that all obstacles
having been removed, the sorrows and suffer
ings of the pair will be terminated by a hap
py marriage at no distant day. At all events
the widow's visit to the East has been indef
initely postponed, and she has returned to
Michigan, the now happy—re-united couple
having sent to Ryder for a pair of large pho
tographic portraits, and taken his own por
trait with them as a saviner of the joyful
meeting caused by a picture from his came

A Penitent Rebel.

Among the inmates of the general hospital,
a short time since, was a Georgian soldier.
He is DOW dead. He was formerly a resi

upon the old lag.
He signalized himself in point of courage,
and was left upon the•battlefield by his re
treating comrades , with two • bullets in his
body. In company with the loyal.wounded,
he was brought to Philadelphia and placed
in the hospital. It wss soon ascertained
that his days was numbered. Every kind
ness extended to Union soldiers was shared
with him. He could not believe, however,
that he must necessarily die from hiti wounds.
To visitors he conversed upon the:,•subjeet
of the rebellion, and declared himielf

that he had ever abetted it. On- the morn

Ay, lA ing , them Was a
letter from a bot of sixteen ar seventeen
years of age; who Without any accompanying
recommendations on references, asked thik
appointment' for himself. The member db.;
missed the appeal from hiS mind, with per
haps\ a passm thought of tho forwardness
and inipudene of the stripling who could as
pire to such a place on no other grounds
than his own desire to get a good education
at the pnblie expense.
But happening a short time afterwards to
be in the little village whence the letter was
mailed, the incident was recalled to his mem
ory, and he thought he would beguile a few
hours of leisure that he had by looking up
the ambitious youth. He made his 'way by
dint of much inquiry, 'to a small tailor's shop
on the outskirts of the town, and when he
was admitted at the door he found a lad sit
ting cross-legged upon the tailor's bench,
mending a rent in an old pair' of pantaloons.
But this lad had another occupation beside
his manual toil. Near by, on a small block
of wood, rested a book of abstruse science,
to which he turned his eyes whenever they '
could be transferred from the work in his
hands. The member accosted him by the
name given in the letter, and the lad replied,
"I am the person. "You wish, thien, to be
appointed a cadet at West Point ?" "I do,"
he rejoined. "What for ?" asked the • Con
gressman. "Because," answered the tailor
youth, "I feel that I- was born for something
better than' mending old clothes." The mem
ber talked further with him and was so
pleased with. his frankness, his spirit, and
the rare intelligence he evinced, that he pro
cured him the appointment.
The member is now Seeretag Smith, of .
Indiana, and the -youth is Gen. Burnside,
Commander-in. Chief of the army of the Po
tomac. We should not be' surprised if that
boy—an excellent specinien of our northern
mudsills—were destined to hoist the Ameri
can flag toils old place on the Capitol at
Richmond.—N. Y. Evening Post.
The Bridgeport standard; 24th, has the
following. It -is interesting as shadowing
forth the marriage of the little general :
Charles S. Stratton, the veritable General
Tom Thumb, is residing here in his native
town. He has travelled nearly the world
over, and has amassed a fortune fur himself
as well as made his mother, two sisters and
younger brother independent. The little
General is now in his 26th year. His hab.
its are unexceptionable, and his intellect
nd general business ability are such that he

A few months since the little General was
made a Fiee Mason. He has already taken
three degrees, and expoesses a determination
to ascend the mystic ladder until he has
reached the top round. Although Gen.
Tom Thumb has always led a life of excite
ment, and twice after retiring to private life
has felt compelled 'to exhibit himself again
to keep off the ennui, he remarked to the
writer of this article-last week, while quietly
twirling his elegant little moustache, of
which he seems quite proud, that he hoped
one of these days' to get married "in which
event" he added with a rognishlaok - ".T. guess

the mate summoned "All aboard"="All

old gentleman with locks of many bygone
years, alighted, and hastened tow rd the
boat. The crowd made way for the venera
ble stranger, but in vain ,• the plank had bee n
drawn in the fastenieTs loosed and the boat
was off. I shall never forget the look of
disappointment whiCh was manifested in his
countenance, as he turned away and ordered
his baggage returned to the hack,- My
thoughts were beginuing to take a solemn
turn, when a friend who was with me, pro
nounced with emphasis, "One minute too
late." . Row many there are who are a little'
behind the time; just one minute too late in
all the affairs of this World! always in It hur
ry; yet never ready ?' And how many thou
sands are a little too late in the great work
of repentance? They delay and postpone,
until the ark of safety has shoved off for the
last time. One moment then was as fatal as
an age.
Borrowing Trouble
That was sensible advice which was given
to the young bear, puzzled to know how to
walk. "Shelll," said he• move my right
front paw first, or fii'y left, or the two front
paws first, or the two hind ones, or all four
at once, and how?" The old she bear came
to bis relief with the advice: 'Leave off
thinking and walk.
It is not uncommon for men: to place
themselves in the prpdicament of the young
bear; to involve themselves in needless' com
plexities; by-trumping up imaginary diffi
culties,or by timorously' looking forward to
the future. •There ere, aeme who appear to
take pleasure in oustin g a' dismal horoscope
of theirlot, and there' is'ifo ono who does
hot auffet, more or less,' from dangers_ and
perplexities, from trials and sorrows, which
have no real existence.
As a general thing, one who is over anx
ious about future and doubtful duties, may
be sure that he is shirking present and plain
duties. It seldom happens that the duty of
the present moment can not be discerned. If
that is done, it becomes a torch, 'throwing
light on the duty next at hand.
In every department of life, the habit 'of
borrowing trouble is found, crippling action
and sound thought.
Soldiers' Coffee.
•
A correspondent thus describes the coffee
-supplied - to - one - of ilia army - camp — no • •
upon the battle field; "You can form same
idea of the rations it. takes to feed such . a
body of men when I tell you that it took
eigren-hund ed 1 1,-.illotti-of—coffee—to-mappi •
them, that-is, what the contractor calls coffee.
I should like to have the handling of that
fellow; I would oblige him to, drink three
times a day a quart of his villainous com
pound.' I think he has begun to add burnt
barley among the other ingredients. I expect
the next dose he puts in will be a small mod
icum of strychnine. I think a very, good
course to pursue in regard to those contrac
tors who concoct these messes, would be to
serve them as Napoleon I. used to treat his
contractors, who furnished the soldiers poor
rations—take 'th - intoTit some flee morning
and give them an ounce more or less, of cold
lead. I think it would have a very benefi
cial effect op those left. Our contractor, not
satisfied with giving us hodgepodge mess,
has left Off putting any sweetening . in it and
you can imaginikwhat a savory liquid it must
be."
A ROVING PAPER.—The 'Memphis Ap
peal is a migratory journal, which follows or
precedes the rebel army in the Southwest
It carries its name with it wherever it goes,
and so comforts itself with the fiction that
Memphis has not been taken by the forces.
When the city was first captured, it moved to
Grenada, from.which place it uttered treason
and fury against the United States. The
other, day when General Hovey was approach
`ng Grenada the editor hurriedly packed up
his effects and evacuated.' This time he de
termined to get as frr out of reach as possi-
ble, and the Memphis Appeal is hereafter to
be published-at Marietta, Ga., about three
hundred and fifty MileSfrom Memphis. This
place is chosen pardYleoaase iltsre is a pi
per
.mill there, and partly because it is -a good
distance from any threatening Union army.
When the editor moves next, the heart of
rebellion will be reached. Let us lope • the
day is not far distant.. ,

How many a poor fellow would be „saved
from suicide; from the penitentiary, and the

such a wife. •
"She made home the pleasantest spot to

that woman's love, and piety, and , common
