How General Grant First Entered
the Service for the Present Var.

| Never was the quotation "Man proposes
but God disposes," more strikingly exems
| pli6ed than in the following anecdote Of
General GranE--At the commencement Of
the rebellion an Illinois Representative
called upon Gov. Yates to recommend to
him Mr.. Grant as q ct person for some mili-
tary position. The Governor had received
applications from some men over six feet ia
height and Of muscular frames, and, there
fore, euriOusly eyed the small man, attired
in hOmespup, that stood before him as an
applicant. He then asked his grounds for
making the application. 81 was educated at
West Point" said Grant, sat the eOUntry's
expense. I served in Mexico and when I
went out to Oregon, thought had returned
to the country an equivalent for my educa-
tiUn, so Iresigned. The country is now in
trouble, and I wish to serve her in her need.
Gov. Yates had no appointment for him, and
he, therefore, left Some short time after
this occurrence, the Governor was very
much distressed in regard to the raising Of
the quota Of the State.-He had plenty of
offers for others positions but he personally
did not know the minutia of regimental
organizations-hOw many privates composed
a company or how many subordinate officers
there should be in regiment. In his dis
tress he asked the Representative Of that
plain little man, to whom he had been intro /
duced, if he knew any thing of these matters. |
The Representative replied by bringing Grant |
into the Governors presence. "Do you IN
derstand the organization of troops?' inquir- /
ed the Governor. The reply was in the !
affirmative "Will you accept desk in my /
Office for that purpOse? was the next oues- /
ton. "Any thing to serve my country"
was Grants reply. Aud to work he at once
went.--And but for this Grant might still be
unknown to the world By his energy Hi
nOis became noted for the speed with (which
she filled her quota.
How GRANT BECAME COLONEL, AND FoUxD
Hrs Own TRANSPORTATION.
When the 2Ist Illinois volunteers was or
ganized, q fine looking man was chosen By
-he company officers as the colonel, but hav-
ing no military capacity, the regiment fell
INTO disorder and became the terror Of the
where it was encamped The
Governor refused to commission the nominee
If the regiment and asked Grant if be
hought he could bring the turbulent mass to
rider if he were appointed the colonel
irant thought he could. Half an hour after
wards an application was made to Gov
Yates to SEND q regiment to Quincy-oue
hundred and twenty miles Distant but the
rOuble with the Governor was, not the want
# men, but the lack of transportation. "Send
ny regiment" said Grant "and l viii find

,iven and before night the regiment was
lnder orders TO march On foot the regiment
vas transported to Quincy, and when the
men were there encamped they were reported ;

The Speakers Page.

No one who has been accustomed to at
tend the sessions of Congress during the
past fifteen years, has failed to notice, at
the right of the Speaker, a tall slim, pale
faced, bright looking lad, who gradually
grew to manhood, aud still retained his
position and title, which was that of
"Speaker's Page" No matter what party
was in power IN Congress, Thad Nor
rice was retained. Every Speaker found
him an almost indispensable assistant.
Standing just at the Speakers elbow, with
his arm leaning upon the desk, his chin
resting upon his hand, which was between
the Speaker and the audience, in the at

sions of Congress, the prompter Of Boyd,

said he knew more of Parliamentary law
than any man in America. And he knew
every member Of the House in all these
Congresses; it was his special business
to know them. No speaker could get
along withoutsuch ass slant at first. When
Penningt N was speaker a good portion of
all the words he uttered were literally put
into his ear by Thad. He did not know
one quarter of the members even by sight,
and was sadly deficient in parliamentary
law. When any member arose, he would
say, "the gentleman from, generally
without the lelst idea what State he was

Music HealthfaE.


Music is like painting and sfatuaFy; it
refnes and elevates, and ennobles. Song
IS the language Of gladness and it IS the
utteranee # devotion. But coming lower
down, it is physically beneficial; it rouses
circulation, Wakens up the bodily ener-
gies, and difuses life and animation
around, Docs a lazy maa ever sing ?
Does milk and water character ever strike
as,igring note2
Never, Song is the outlet of mental
and physical activity, and increases both
by Its exercise. No child has completed
religious education who has not been
taught to sing the songs Of Zion. No part
of our religious worship is sweeter than
this In Davids day it Was practice
and a study.

The First Shot in the ReFoIutlon.


The first American who discharged his
gun on the day of the battle ofLexiugfon,
was Ehenezer Lock, who died al Deering,
New Hampshire, about fifty years ago.
Heresided at Lexington in IT'S. The
British regulars, at the order Of Major
PItcairny having fred at a few Frebels =
on the green IN front Of the meeting house,
killad some and wounded others, it was a
signal for war "The citizens writes
one, ffmight be seen coming from all d.
reedons, in the roads, over fields, and
through the woods, each with his, riH3 in.
bis hand, his poWder-horn hung to his side,
and his pockets provided with bullets"
Among the number was E5euezer Lock.
The British had posted a reserveof infan-
try mile IN the rear, in the direction of
Boston. This was in the neighborhOod Of
Mr. Lock, who instead of Fastening to
join the party at the green plac5d himself
In an open cellar at a convenient distance
for doing execution. a portion of reserve
was standing on a bridge, Iand Mr.. Lock
Commenced firing at them. He worked
calamity for some miuutes, bringing
down one Of tue enemy at nearly every
shot. Up to this time not a gun had been
fred by the ''rebels." The British, great

the random firing of an. unseen enemy,
were not long in discovering the man in
the cellar, and discharged voIley Of balls, /
which, lodged on the walls opposite. DIr. |
Lock, remaining unhurt, continued to load /
aud fire with the precision of a finished I
narksman. He was driven to such close
Quarters, however, by the British on his

retreat. He had one bullet left, and
here was now but one way to escape, and

moment was to be lost; he leveled his

the strongest terms. The most note
worthy instance was when, after the
battle Of Queenstown, the British
selected tWenty-thFee Irish prisoners,
to be semitic England to be tried for
high treason. Scott threatened re-

British prisoners we're set apart to

Heat from the Stars.

Dr.. Lardner says: "It is a startling
fact that if the earth were dependent
alone upon the. sun for heat, it would
not get enough to keep in existence
animal and vegetable life upon its
surfaoeG In results from the resear-
ches of Pouillet the stars furnish heat
enough in the course Of the year to
melt crust of ice seventy-fve feet
thick-almost as much as is supplied
by the sun. This may appear strange,
when We consider how, immeasurably
small must be the amount of heat re-
ceived from any one Of these distant
bodies. But the surprise 7vanishes
when we remember that tho whole
armament is so thickly sown with
stars thatin meplaces thousaudsare
crowded together within a space no
greater than that occupied by the full
moon. The eye, cg7not See more

The confidence reposed in Lieut. General
Grant by President Lincoln, and the cord
iality which exists between these distinguish
ed men, were happily illustrated by char
aeteristic anecdOte related recently by the
Presidentin the course Of familiar con-
versation with personal friend. In reply
to question in regard to the present mill
tary prospect, Mr.. LlneOln, with that pecu-
liar smile which be always puts on when
about to tell good story, said; "Well sir,
your question reminds me Of a little anee-
dote about the iautomaton chess-piayer,
which many years ago astonished the world
by its skill in that game. After a while the
