Lord Littleton, iu the winter id' the
year 177, had reiired from ihe meirep

puiioiH, to piofaue (he CIimsIiikh at bis
eouiitry hoii-ej Pit 1'liee, near Kp-otii,in

n.iry depr- hsi-m of spiiits and dejection of
eniiiiteiianee whieli wa- oherved lo Ittke
possesion of their hoi. It w is in vafn
that he aiteinpted to rilenee ihe iniiiirie'
of tlie quests on tlm fiibj"t:t of
liU dijeetion. They were emvineed
that .a wa-4 ill, or had tn -t with Iom at
play, or w.o eroded in love; and U
denial of all these imputations only
exeited a more eaT eiirjo-ily to
be iiifoiuied of tlie origin of
hi-; depre-s-iion. 'I'lm- ur-d, he at last
determined to reveil ihe seeret that to
paiul'ully distressed him.
The niht b;fore, on his retiring to
beJ, after bis servant was dismissed and
his liht extinguished; he had heard a
Doi.se reneiiibliui: the flitteiini; of a dove
at his clumber window. This attracted
his titteniioD to the Hp-it, when, looking
in tlu direoii m of the wound, he saw the
the figure of an unhappy female, whom
he ha 1 'du ?ed an 1 d serle 1, and who,
whendewrtel, but put a violent end to
her own exisu uee. She WiH standing
in the nperlnre of the window from

buoyancy of spirit which had formerly
distinguished the unhappy Win;; of whom
the tremendous summons had beeu de
livered.
Oil the succeeding day his Lordship's
quests, with the connivance of his attend
ants, had pr ivided that the clocks through
out the house should be advanced an

SOON IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Vulunteers lo Ihe Marl (nnJiti"n. l
Armv Life.
One of the first und also one of the
hardest losous an enlisted m an in a vol
unteer army has to learn is that there is
an aristocracy of shoulder straps which is
contrary to all bis democratic experiences
and principles. In the last war, as soon
as Sumter was fired on, patriotic men
oot together in e iinpinies and elected
(heir own coinmisMoiied ullicers without
realizing ail (hat a commission mean
The men, in many cases, had lived lo
gethe.r on ihe same social plane, often us
intimate fiiemk In choosing their offi
cers they were influenced by the same
amiable considerations that determine
elections in civil life. A goud fellow or
a shrewd politician could easily obtain
the support of a majority of the company
whether he was adapted to the office or
not. In time ihe. private soldier
learned there was between them and tlie
commissioned officer a gulf which no
good will on his part could bridge, lie
was compelled to assume an air of su
periority that ouly the utmost tact cuuld
save from ofTensiveness. lie was not
allowed by the army regulations to con
tinue tho intimate personal relations that
existed iu private life.
It was fiometiuiesgalling to the enlisted
man that, besides being better paid,
better clothed, fed, and boused the cott
missioned officer enjoyed many privileges
that were of great importance to nun
used lo ihe freo life of a republic.
He sides his larger pay, (he officer had an
allowance of rations beyond that of the
private, which he commuted when iu
camp. 1 hat is, he drew a monev equiv
alent instead of the rations, and was able
to buy provisions uf a MJpirior ijuality
and t f larger variety. The company
ottiecrs lot tiled a mess, had an expel t
e.iok aud general servant, u complete
out lit of dishes, which were carried iu a
camp chest, and so on; the private hid
his tiu plate, (iu cup, tin spoon, his edit
b' lug made in u huge sheel lion can p
keitle. The officers had a wall tent that
was carried in a waou, the puvutc a dog
tent that was can ird hy himself. As a rule
in active service ihe private had the ben
tilt only ol what he could carry, except
the few cooking utensils in charge of ihi
company cook. Iu ordinary limes ihe
cotumksiuued officers could leave camp
virtually at will. 11 is duties were com
paratively light, while the private, in
addition to sentry duty, had Hnuietimcs
to serve with pick, shovel und axe in the
conMiuiioii id' fortifications, the digging
of'riflc pits, the making of corduroy roads
and the like. The olli vr might t evasion
ally obtain leave of absence to visit his
home, while a furlough wis u r.iro thing
for tip? h on -sick private. Iu the last
extreuntv, Ihe ulheer could leave the
arm v by resignation, but only expiration
of his term of serwee, incurable wounds,
or disease or death offered release to the
suldier. Tlie latter envied not only the
e miuisoioued officer, but ato ihe uero
servant, who c-uld Come and go at must
at will.
The siibinUsiou of ihe American Vol
untcer tu the hard conditions of anny life
is one of tli-' inaivels Hud glories of
Ameiiean patriotism. The pay was not
enou-h to he alotring. At lirst it was
SI 1 an I later S 1 -1 a month. The (iov
einment provided the clothing, food,

they live emphatically, and will live, in
the inthieuce which their lives aud ef

the affairs of men, not wholly in (heir
own country, but throughout ihe civil
ized world. A superior and command
ing hum, in intellect, a truly great man,
when heaven vouchsafes so rare a gift, is
a not temporary flame burning brightly,
for a while and then giving place to re
turning darknesf. It is rather a fpaik
of fervent heat, as well as tudiaut light,
with jiower to enkindle the common ina.-s
of human mind; so that when it glimmers
iu its own decay and linally goes out in
death, no night follows, but it leaves the
world all light, all on lire, from the potent
contact of its own soiiit. Hacon died,
but the human under-lauding, roused by
the touch of his iniracul jus wand to a
perception of the true philosophy aud
the jmt mode of inijuiiiug after truth,
has kept ou its course successfully and
gloliotisly, Newton died; jet the courts
of ih-t spheres are still kuowu, and they
