GEN. GRANT AT HoME.-The following &C.
count of Gen. Grant, 81 en- by Western cor
respondent, writing from Galena, the Gener-
ais former residence, shows how little chance
a great maE has of securing recognition Of
his merits among people who remember his
former unpretending way of hfe
A dozen years ago Galena was one OF tha
sensations. OF late, however, Galena has been
in quiescent state, and is only heard OF III
connection with Gen. Grant and lead mines.
Before the war Grant-Mr. Ulysses Grant
was Young married man. living in an unpre-
tending hired house on the hill west OF the
town. His father was partner in a house
now Perkinss-in the main street now devot-
ed to the trade in hides. Ulysses was what ia
called in city firms light porter in this store,
but still he did some pretty heavy work. load
ing carts with hides as well as casting up ac-
counts. He wore slOuched hat and used to
go through the town with his head lowered,
and always smoking cigar; and, as the. sal
airy was but small, these cigars even az tha
low prices which then ruled in the article,
must have been an important item in his an
nual expenditure. .5 Id.
"Did he manifest any of that talent which
has since made him so famous ?" asked of a
citizen who gave me these reminiscences.
"No,' was the reply He was considered
no more talented in any way than the other
clerks on Main street."
"Was he in any way prominent citizen?"
"Not at all. There were many old resi-
| dents OF our town who could not even recall
| him, when his name became famous U
@Did he take any part in politics% 1lI.
| Not that remember. He was reticent,
unpretending man, going from his home to
| his daily work, and back again" '
"Then his successful career has been sur
prise to his neighbors?" 5..-,
ENTIRELY so. They can hardly believe yet
that the great military hero OF the age is the
unknown Galena clerk" I.. .-I.,il,
"How about his Presidential prospects,"
"Well, to tell the truth. here in Galena.
| there Is feeling OF doubt as to whether he
has the administrative ability such a position
properly demands. He never gave any signs
| of it here, but on the other hand, it is true
| he never gave any intmation of military
ability Yet, with all this, there Is, / must
| say, a feeling of anxiety as TO his fitness for
the place. His best friends prefer he should
\ retain his army position and not aspire to
the Presidency; and they say that at the
proper moment he will assert that to be his
own belief" niarlH -lla rIj
| Then 1 suppose" I continued, further
| questioning this obligingIy communicative
| citizen, 81 suppose from this he will not re-
ceive many votes here, ii nomlnated?"
t"There you are entirely wrong" was the
reply; Everybody in Galena win vote for
him, if only out of local pride, no matter what
their personal politics may be. The General
| is, of course very popular here" o ita

Home Affections.

The heart has affections that never die
The rough rubs of the world never obliterate
them. They are the memories of home-oniy
home. There is the old tree under which the
light-hearted boy has swung many day; yon-
der is the river in which he learned to swim,
there is the house in which he knew parent's S
probationary, there is the room in which he
romped with a brother and sister, long since
laid in the yard in which he soon must be gath
ered overshadowed by yon old church, whith-
er Joyous troop like himself, he had often fol-
lowed his parents to worship, and heard the
good old man who ministcred at the altar
Even the very school house, associated in youth
full DAYS with the thoughts Of tasks, now comes
to bring pleasant remembtances of many oc-
casions that called forth some generous exhlbl-
ton of noble traits of human nature. There
is where he learned TO feel some OF his first
emotions. There, perchance, he first met the
being, who, by her love and tenderness in life,
has made home for himself happier than that
which his childhood has known. There ore
certain feelings of humanity-and those, too,
among the best-that can find no appropriate
place for their exercise only at ones freside.

"ATTILA." {"

"Make the Shenandoah Valley barren waste
Gen. Grants Instructions.
go. waste me the land, the General criedi
"Of vengeance III have my fill,
For thro it the rebel columns ride
And thwart all my plans at will.
If we cannot conquer we'll show our hands
They shall know that our payday comes
When they look abroad, DER their ruined lands,
And see that we've been at their homes.
AGO, burn me the barns heavy laden with grain,
And the sheaves that are left in the field;
And burn every blade Of grass on the plain
That it may no sustenance yield
And waste the leaves and the ears of corn
That our foes no more may be fed.
Ho, spare not, brave men in blue uniform,
Enough for a leaf of bread.
Each rebel homestead in ashes lay,
Tho your ears be deaf with the cries
VI the helpless and spare them, some fool may say
Success is the soldiers prize.
/ Twill cover with glory your every deed,
And the loss of their household gods
May vanquish their stubborn hearts-give heed
To no prayers or dvining rods.
"Then spare not plank-'ts wars eclipse,
And your souls We shall case in steel.
Thick as that on the sides of your noble ships,
To crush this proud commonweal.
To crush would blot out from under Heaven
The bitter rebellious land"
Vain men that power to Another Is given
Another has bid il stand
The Lord of Heaven looked down on earth
And smipd on goody cline;
He bade the leaves and flowers come forth,
Secd-time, gave He, and haryest-time.
But He loOk'd again. and backen'd waste
Was the vale that bloQmed in His smile
And the home that lay like white bird at rest
In its grove, was burning pile;
Red flames rolled along the mountain side
Like serpents in shining coils;
And orchard, and field and pasture wide
Was given TO them for spoils.
Fire blazed from the mill at the waters brink,
From the village il mounted higher,
And cottage and mansion both did sink
In an endless sea Of fire.
But a crv and wall went up from the dale
That thrilled to the foeman's heart
And the sparks flew wide in that day OF their pride
And entered like dart.
Each brand that came from his burning home,
Lit fire that will never die
Twas seen in the flash-'twas heard in the boom
That thundered along the sky.
For an added force, is the sense Of wrong,
And Revenge is the fiercest foe,
The wounded lion is dOubly strong
And strikes with deader blow.
o deed that fills the soul with unrest,
Will YOU lay not your doers in dust?

Good Advice.

"Make," said Dr. franklin, "a full estimate
of all you owe, and all that is owing to YOU
Reduce the same to whole. As fast as you
collect, pay over to those you owe. 1fyou can
not collect renew your note every year, and get
the best security you can. Go to business dill
gently waste no idle moments; be very eco
nomical in oil things discard all pride; be
faithful in your duty to God, in private and in
public worship and do unto all men as you
would that they should do unto you. II you
are too needy in your circumstances to give to
the poor, do whatever else is in your power for
them cheerfully; but if you can, always help
the worthy, poor and unfortunate. Pursue this
course diligently and sincerely for seven years /;
and if you are not happy and independent in
your circumstances, come to me and will pay
your debts"
