ANCIENT HosPITALITY,-It was once
a universal custom to place ale or some
strong liquor in the chamber Of an hon
ored guest, to assuage his thirst, should
he feel any on awakening in the night,
which, considering that the hospitality OF
that period often reached excess, was by
no means unlikely. 1t is a current story in
Teviotdale, that in the house of an ancient
family of wealth, much addicted to The Pres
by terian cause, Bible was always put
into the sleeping apartment of the guest,
along with bottle of ale. On one occa-
sion there was a meeting of clergy men, in
the vicinity of the castle, all of whom were
invited to dinner by the worthy baronet,
and several abode there that night. Ac-
cording to the fashion Of the times, seven
of the reverend guests we're allotted to one
large barrack room, which was used or
such occasions of extended hospitality
The butler took care that the divincs were
presented, according to custom, each with
a Bible and bottle of ale. But after o
little consultation among themselves, they
are said to have recalled the domestic just
as he was leaving the apartment. "My
FRIEND" said ono of the venerable guests
'syoU must know that when we meet to
gcthor, the youngest minister reads aloud
portion of the scriptures to the rest
only one Bible therefore is neccssaryj take
away the other six, and in their plaet
bring six moro bottles of ale, "'-Str Wa

The Philadelphia Library.

The first public library in the U. States,
is the Philadelphia library in Philadel-
phia-a brick building with marble front,
near Independence Hall. It is worth vis-
iting for this fact alone. The librarian,
whose name l forget,-gave me some par@
ticulars Of its history, which may noE be
uninteresting to the reader. The idea Of
public library was projected in Phila.
delphia, when this country was dependent
on England for its literature, and books
were very expensive. Sir Benjamin West,
the celebrated painter who acquired his
great fame in England while in that
country, was invited by Rev. Samuel 7.
Preston of the English Church, to visit him
and paint his portrait. West did SO, cnd
was struck by the reverend gentlemsn's
library, which was unusually large, ane
embraced many rare and valuable works,
West observed to Mr.. Preston, that as he
was o bachelor he could find 40 mere wo--
thy object than the Philadelphia library,
to bequeath his books. Not long after this
conversation, Mr.. Preston died, and left
his library, portrait, and sum of money
to the Philadelphia library and thus, by
the muni6cence qf an English gentleman,
whose eyes never rested upon this fair
continent, the first library in the U. States
was established. I looked with veneration Z
at the portrait Of Mr.. Preston, which as
specimen of Vests life like portraits, is
of itself remarkable, and felt that he had
erected an enduring monument to his owr
memory. This philadelphia library con-
tains many old and valuable books, which
cannot now be obtained ''fcr love or mon
ey." There is also an old chroncmeter,
pointed out to the visitor, as having once
served as an hour piece to Oliver Crom

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
have few leisure
moments, and improve them by addressing
you. Perhaps it will be interesting to the
many readers of the Democrat to hear
from us occasionally; as many of the boys
are from old Columbia. This is healthy
location, very suitable for camping. The
immense quantity of rain which has fallen
at oucc disappeared in the sandy soil -
One pleasant day is sufficient to dry our
streets after a storm, and make it agreea,
bic for pedestrians. The boys are in good
spirits; but not contented, with an mac
tive life, and wait impatiently for a for-
ward movement; which L fear will not
come until "secesh' is thoroughly crushed
out. The fall of Fort Doneson created
the widest enthusiasm in Philadelphia
Yesterday it rained quite fast, and froze
as it fell, making it slippery on the pave
ments; and quite dangerous to the pedes-
trians. Notwithstanding this they rushed
by almost upheeding the slippery side walk
eagerly inquiring for the extra papers, or
stop beneath an awning and consult the
news of the day. To-day the news reached
our camp of the fall of Savannah. A sa-
Lutte of fourteen rounds was fred in honor
of the event. We then gave three cheers;
with the true characteristics of soldier
the caps flew in the air and we made the
welkin ring, each one trying to cheer the
loudcst. Flags can be seen flying in num-
bers over prominent places in Philadelphia
A salute was fired at the navy yard to-day,
and the Gveliest interest is expressed in the
couutenances Of all. 1t is rumored in camr
Of an expedition being fitted out, at the re-
quest of Gov. Curtin; composed of Penna
troops. Our regiment will take part in it
If this has foundation, we may soon be il
proximity with the foes of our country. -
If the formidable armies conduct success
full campaign in the South, and follow "
their victories, the war will soon close, ,anC
our now unhappy country will have passed
the trying hour, Its future greatness vii
be fixed fact, and then the lion of Eng
land will have just cause for fear. Their

An Old StOry-iiOw political Preaching
was Curea.

The Hartford Times relates the follow
ing: A Congregational Church, in
neighboring State, got so completely en-.
listed in one of the Presidential contests,
that little attention was given to religious
questions. The Minister was constantly
preaching, praying and exhorting upon
political issues, and his deacons and lay
men followed suit at the prayer and con-
ference meetings. Finally, worthy cd
farmer, one of the staunchest and best
members of the church, and firm, unde-
WAITING Democrat, was called upon to offer
prayer.

A Capital Satire Rye Coffee.

LAST night heard Wide.Awake,

With cape and lamp all by his side,

The song, it was pretty one,
And charmed my listening eat;

And will sing 1t here.
