graph album presented by the poet to the Count
rs Won Eglcfrsteln, and containing Ave short
poems from his pen. In addition to these Ave
poems, which have been INCORPORATED In his
published writings, there IS in the book a sixth
autograph production by Goethe, which has
never heretofore, so far as Is known, been givon
to the reading world. 1t was sent to the Count
ess on a card, accompanying q Christmas offer

when It was purchased in Berlin at a sale OF the
family's effects by the Rev. j. II. w. Stucken-
berg, d. D.. now a resident OF Cambridge, Mass,
but at that time living in the German capital.
In addition to the Goethe poems the album
contains tho autograph OF the Grand Duke OF

A r UTE IN REVOLU7ION
Extracts from n Diary Kept by stephen
Stone-SoJerIng and PIough,ng by Turns.

Wy
Stephen Stone. q second cousin OF the late
David Nj. Stone OF tho Journal OF Commerce.
and nv great-uncle, was FOX e time &. minute
mnn In the Revolutionary war. His journal,
yellow and faded by time. is before me rs l
write. and this journal Is the only one OF a
minute man Of the Revolution which | have
ever seen. The extracts which l send you il
lustrate in q very marked DEF 0, the difficulties
Washington met with In raising and keeping
his army together. Washington WAS contin-
ually appealing TO the Continental Congress
for men that should be raised to serve through
out the war. and he graphically and feelingIy
represents to that body how vain It was to cx-
pect him to conduct the war to IA successful
issue with men enlisted FOR only a few weeks
or months Mt Il time. since often. on the eve Of
what might prove to b" q decisive battle. tho
mems term OF enlistment having expired. they
would quit the army and go home to plough
and plant their fields. Tie extracts from this
Journal bring ont this point in vivid relief; and
since undoubtedly this journal is but n sample
OF the experience OF thousands of other volun-
teers at the time, one cannot read it without
realizing how much justice .here was in
the complaints of the Commanders IN CHIEF. On
the other hand, neither can the men them
selves he censured for their course. Their pay
was poor, II. indeed. It was anything. Through
motives OF tho highest patriotism they
wished TO aid the cause OF their country. yet
they could not allow their families to starve.
Hence. with no money to pay n hired man in
their absence. the only alternative was to do
the best they could under the circumstance
to divide their time between ''soigering" and
the support of their loved ones OF home.
