Mother Kate, the watchmsn’s wife, at nine
o’clock on New Years’ eve opened her little
window, and put out her head into the night
air. The snow was reddened by the light
from the window as it fell in silent heavy
fl'skes upon the street. , She observed the
crowds of happy people, hurrying to and do
from the brilliantly lighted. shops with pres-
ents, or pouring out of the various inns and
coffee-houses, and going to the dances and
and other entertainments with which the
New Year is married to the Old in joy and
pleasure. But when a few cold flakes had
lighted on her nose she brew back her head,
closed the window, and said to her husband,
“Gottlieb, stay at home, and let Philip watch
for thee til-night; for the snow comes as fast
NEW YEAR’S Eva.-
as it can from heaven, and thou knowest thc'i
wait,” said Mrs. Katharine, “or if you could
give up the engagement altogether! For
Rose is a pretty girl, that Can’t be denied;
and though she is poor, there will be no
want onooers, She is virtuous and under-
stands housekeeping.” _
“Never fear, mother,” replied Philip;
“Rose has solemnly sworn to marry no man-
but me; and that is sufficient. » Her mother
has nothing to object to me. And if I was
in business and had money enough to keep
a wife with, Rose 'would be my wife to-mor-
row. The only annoyance we have is that
her mother will not let us meet so often as
we wish. She says frequent meetingsdo no
good; but ' I differ from her, and so does
Rose,'——for we think meeting often does as
both a great denl of good. And we have
agreed to meet to-night, at twelve o’clock,
at the great door of St. Gregory’s church,
for Rose is bringing in the year at a friend’s
house; and I am to take her home."
In the midst ofsnch conversation the clock
Of the neighboring tower struck three quar-
ters, and Philip took his father’s great cost
from the warm stove where Katharine had
carefully laid it, wrapped himself in it, and
taking the lantern and stall, and wishing his
parents good night, proceeded to his post.

Philip stalked majesticallly through the
all directions, the houses were all brilliantly
she hears me,” he said to himself; “now she
thinks on me, and forgets the scene around
her I hope she won’t fail me at twelve
o’clock at the church door.” An hen he
had gone his round, he always med Ito
and his heart beat quick at the sight; same-
times he fancied he saw Rose herself; and

“Still less. I have brought no money with
me,” said the assistant" watchman.
“Good Heaven i” exclaimed the mask.
“Command my purse,—all that I possess is
at your service l” Saying this, he forced a
full p‘urse into Philip’s hand. I
. “But do you know who I am ‘2" inquired
Philip, and rejected the purse. ' .
The milk whispered with a bow of pro-
found obeisance,—His Royal Highness,
Prince J ulian.” '
At this moment Philip heard his deputy
in an adjoining street calling the hour very
distinctly, and now he became aware of his
metamorphosis. Prince Julian well known
in the capital as an amiable, wild, good-
hearted young, man, had been .the person
with whom he had changed his clothes.
“Now, then,” thought Philip, “as he enacts
the watchman so well, I will not shame his
rank ; I’ll see if for one half hour, I can’t be
the prince. IfI make any mistake, he. has
himself to blame for it.” He wrapped the
red silken mantle closer round him, took the
offered purse, put-it in his pocket, and said,
—“Who are you, mask ? I will return your
gold to-morrow." .
“I am'the Chamberlain_Pilzon.”
“Good,—lead the way,—‘I’llfollow.” The
chamberlain obeyed, and tripped up the
marble stairs, Philipcoming close behind
mirrors. A confused crowd of maskcrs jos-
middle of the hall the dance was cirrried on
by hundreds of people to the music ofa full
band. Philip, whom the heat of the apart-
ment recovered from his frozen state, was
so bewilderedwith the scene that he could

“What is the Rose-girl .to me i”,
the Mameiuke, whose suppressed voice and
agitated demeanor showed that a “fearful
struggle was going on within; “To me she
is everything. She is my wife. You make
me wretched, Prince! I conjure you drive
me‘ not to madness. Think of my wife no
mere ?”
“With all ‘lny heart,” answered Philip,
dryly; “what have I to do with your wife ‘1’”
' “O, Prince,Prince!” exclaimed the Manle-
luke, “I have made a resolve which I shall
execute if it cost me my life. Do not seek
to deceive me a moment longer. I have (“So
covered everything. Here i look at this ! ’tis
a note my false wife slipt into your hand,
and which you dropt in the crowd, without

Philip took the note. ’Twas written in
pencil, and in a fine, delicate hand,—“Change
your mask. Everybody knows you'. My
husband watches you. He does not know
me. If- you obey me I will reward you.”
“Hem !” muttered Philip. “As I live, this
was not written to me. I do not trouble my
head about your wife.”
“Death and fury, Prince! do not drive‘me

ANECDOTES or Gum, Sm. , M.—
At the recent Re-union of the armies of the
Republic, at Chicago, many anecdotes were
told of the leading officers. Among those
gathered up by the correspondent of the N.
Y. Time, are the following, the first being
a la Lincoln :—
Some one jocosely turned to Gen. Grant
and asked him how many speeches he had
made, and how much money he had spent
to secure his election. He said in reply that
he had expected when he accepted thenom-
ination of the partyto be more roundly abus-
ed during the campaign by the newspapers
of the other party than he had been ; and he
had early resolved to let all abuse pass un-
noticed. He had heard years before of a
farmer in the West who had been repeated-
ly urged to run for Congress, and who at
last consented, on condition that he wasnot
to be asked to make a speech or write a letter
during the canvass. He was nominated,
and soon after it was rumored far and near
that he was in thehabit of stealing the hogs
of his neighbors. He rushed into print and
mounted the stump, indignantly denying
the charges, throwing them back (in the us-
ual style) into- the teeth of his villiflcrs.
“ Of course he proved his innocence,” sug-
gested one'of the listeners- “ By no moans,"
returned Gen. Grant; “ his neighbors’ hms '
had occasionly strayed into his ‘inclosures : .

was made a cripple for life by a musket ball
as he was the first mounting the walls of a
hostile fort in a battle for his fatherland.
The oflicer who commanded the attack re-
for his heroism, and was advanced in the
service; while Gottlieb was fain to creep
homewards on a pair of crutches. From
pity they made him a schoohaster, for be
good hand. But when the school increased
they took it away from him to provide for a
young man who could do none of these as
well as he, merely because he was a godson
of one of the trustees. However, they pro-
moted Gottlieb to the post of watchman,
with the reversion of it to his son Philip,
who had in the mean‘tithe'bbund ”himself to

sioually received very fine presents when he
carried home flowers to the rich people of
the town. He wasa fresh,handsome yOnng
fellow, of six-and-tweniy. Noble ladies of-
ten gave him sundry extra dollars 'for his
film looks, a thing they would’knever have
thought of doing for an ugly face. Mrs. Kate
had'already put on her cloak to go to the

“Father,” said Philip, giving a hand to
both father and mother, “it’s snowing, and
take the watch to-night, and you can get to ‘
bed.”
“You ”re a good boy," said old'Gottlieb.
“And then I’ve been thinking,” continued
Philip, “that as to morrow is New Year’s
day, I_ may come and dine with you and
make myself happy. Mother perha'ps has

“No, interrupted the mother, “we ’ve no

“Well, so much the better, dear mother,”

Old Gottlieb shrugged his "shoulders.
Philip llid a purse upon the table.
“There are two-and twenty dollars that I
have saved. I can do very well ,without
them: take them for a New Year’s gift, and
then we can all three enter on the new year
without a debt or a care. God grant that
we may end it in health and happiness.
Heaven in its goodnets will provide for both
you and me 1”
Tears came into Mother Katharine’s eyes
as- she kissed her son; old Gottlieb said,
“Philip, you are the prop and stay of our old
age; Continue to be honest and good, and
to love your parents, so will a blessing rest
on you. I can give you nothing for a New

your heart pure and true,—this is in your
power,—you will be rich enough—for a clear

down in an account-book the sum 'of' o-

beer-house to warm himself at the fire. As
he was pacing through a lonely by-street, he
met a man with a black half-mask on his
face, enveloped in_ a fire-colored silken man-
ceived the cross of honor on the battle-field tie, and wearing on his head 0 magnificent 5
hat turned up at one .side, and fantastically
ornamented with a number of high and wa-
ving plumes.
Philip endeavored to escape the mask, but
was intelligent, liked to read, and wrote a in vain. The stranger blocked up his P891 s
and said, “Ha! thou art a fine fellow; I like
thy phiz amazingly. Where are you going,
eh? I say where are you going?” _
“To Mary Street,” repliéd Philip. “I am
going to call the hour there.' ' ‘
“Enchanting!” answered the mask. “I
hear thee: I’ll go with thee. Come along!
thou foolish fellow, and let me hear thee,
and mind thou singest well, for‘I-am a good
judge. Canat thou. sing me a jovial song?”
“Philip saw that his companion was of
high rank and a little tipsy, and answered,
“I sing better over'a glass of wine in a warm
room, than when up to my waist in snow.”
They had now reached Mary Street, and
Philip sang, and blew the horn.
“Ha! that’s but a poor performance,” ex-
claimed the mask who had accompanied
him thither. “Give me the hem! I shall
'blow so well, that you ’1] half die with de-
light.”
Philip yielded to the mask’s wishes, and
let him sing the verses and blow. For four
or five times all.was done as if the stranger
hadbeen a watchman all his life. He diIla-
ted most eloquently on the joys of such an
occupation, and was so inexhaustible in his
own praises, that he made Philip laugh at
his extravagance- His spirits evidently owed
no small share of their elevation to an extra
glass of wine.
“I’ll tell you what, my treasure, I’ve a
great fancy to be a watchman myself for an
hour or two. If I don’t do it now, I shall
never arrive at that honor in the course of
my life. Give me your great-coat and wide

'a beer-house and take a bottle at my ex-
pense; and when you have finished it, come
again and give me back my masking-gear.
You shall have a couple of dollars for your
trouble. What do you think, my treasure?”
But Philip did not like this arrangement,
,At last, hoWever, at the solicitations of the
mask, he capitulated .as they'entered a dark
lane. Philip was half frozen ;‘a warm drink
would do him good, and so would a warm
fire. He agreed for one ‘half hour to give up
his w'atchmanship, which would be till
twelve o’clock. Exactly at that time the
stranger was to come to the great door of
St Gregory's and give back the great-coat,
horn, and staff, taking back his own silk
mantle, hat, and domino. Philip also told
him the four streets in which he was to call
the hour. The mask was in ruptures.—
“Treasure of my heart, I could kiss thee if
thou wort not a dirty, miserable fellow! But
thou shslt have naught to regret if thou art
at the church at twelve, for I will give thee
money for a supper then. J 0y! I am a
watchman !” The mask looked a watchman
to the life, while Philip was completely (lis-
guised with the halfomask tied over his face,
the bonnet, ornamented with a buckle of
brilliants, on his head, and the red silk man-
tle thrown around him. . When he saw his
companion commence his Walk, he began to
fear that the young gentleman might com-
promise'the dignity of the watchman.‘ He
therefore addressed him once more, and
said :— .
“I hope you will not abuse my good na-
ture and do any mischief, or misbehave in
any way, as it may cost me the situation.”
“Hallo I” answered the stranger. “What
are you talking about? Do you thinkI
don’t know my duty 1’ Off with you this
moment, or I’ll let you feel the weight ofmy
‘stafl'. But’come to St. Gregory’s church and
give me back my clothes at twelve o’clock.
Good by. This is glorious fun i”
The new guardian of the streets walked -
onward with all the dignity becoming his
office, while Philip hurried to a neighboring
tavern.
III. . .
Ashe was passing the door of the Royal
palace, lie was laid hold ol‘by a person in a'
mask who had alighted from a carriage.
Philip turned round,and in a low whisper-
ing voice asked what the stranger wa’ntfd.
"My gracious lord,” answered the mask,
“in your reverie you have passed the .door.
Will you Royal Highness—" _
“What? Royal Highness i” said Philip,
laughing. “-I am' no .highness. What‘ put
that in your head 1’"
The mask bowed respectfully, and pointed
to the brilliant buckle in Philip’s hat. “I
ask your pardon if I have betrayed your dis-
guise. But, in what ever character you as-
sume, your noble hearing will betray you.
Will you condescend to lead the way'? Does
your Highness intend to dance 1’” .
“I? To danca l” replied Philip. “No,—
0 see I have boots on.” ‘ ' ’
“To play, then i” inquired the mask,

“You never heard ofit i” repeated the
other, “the whole city rings with it. The
unfortunate I was! When the Queen-moth-
er made the hunting party to Frendenwald,
she appointed me cavalier to the Baroness.
What COuld I do? It was impossible to re-

the present moment. The new year makes
up all quarrels. Is the Countess here 1’”
“Do you not see her over ihere,—the Car-
melite onlhe left of the third pillar beside
the two bl ck dominos. She has laid aside
her mask. ‘ All, Prince! yOur intercession
would—” '
Philip thought; now Learn do a good
work! 'and, as the punch had inspired him,
he walked directly to the Carmelita. The
Countess Bonau looked at him for sometime
seriously, and with flushed, checks, as he sat
down beside her: She Was a beautiful girl;
yet Philip remained persuaded that Rose
wasea thousand times more beautiful.
“Conn_tess,”rhe said,—and became embar-
rassed when he met her clear bright eye
fixed upon him.
“Prince,” said the Countess,
you were somewhat too bol .”
“Fair Countess, I am therefore at the pres-
ent mbliien't the more'qm‘e't.” " ‘
“So much the better. I shall not, then, be
obliged to keep out ofyour way.” ’
“Fair lady, allOw me to ask one question.
Have you put on a nun’s gown to do pen-
ance for your sins ?" ‘
. “I have nothing to do penance for."
“But you have. Countess l—your cruelties.
—your injustice to the poor Brahmin yon-
der, who seems neglected by his God and all
the world i” . .
The beautiful Carmelite cast down her
eyes, and appeared uneasy.
“And do you know, fair Countess, that in
the Freudenwald affair the Chamberlain is
as innocent as I am i” '
“As you, Prince?” said the Countess,
frowning,——“what did you tell me an hour
3g? t?” . -
“You are right, dear Countess, I was too
bold. You said so yourself. But now I de-
clare to you the Chamberlain was obliged to
go‘ to Freudénwaid by command of the
Queen-mother.~—and againdt his will was
obliged to be cavalier to the hated Reizcn-
thill-f” I
“Hated—by him ?”—interrupted the
toss, with a bitter and sneering laugh.
“Yes,—he hates—he despises the Baroness.
Believe me, he scarcely treated her 'with
civility, and incurred the Royal displeasure
by so doing. I know it; and it was for
your sake. You are the only person he
loves,—to you he offers his hand, his heart,
—and you l—you reject him i”
“How comes it, Prince, that you intercedc
so warmly for Pilzou ? You did do so for-
merly.” -
"That was because I did not know him,
and still less the sad state into which you.
have thrown him by your behavior. I
swear to yonhe is innocent-«you have noth-
ing to forgive in him,—he ' has much more
to forgive in you.” 7 .,
“Hush i” whispered the Carmelite, we are
watched here; away from this.” She re-
placed her mask, stood up, and placing her
arm within that of the supposed Prince, they
erased the hall and entered a side-room.
The Countess. uttered many bitter com-_
plaints against the Chamberlain, but they
were the complaints of jealous love. The
Countess was in to when the tender Brah-
min soon after cam timidly into the sport

three. Philip, not knowing how to conclude
his intercession better led the Brahmin to
the Carmelita, and joined their {hands to-
gether, without saying a word, and left them
to fate. He himself rammed into the hall.
IV. ‘
Here he was hastily addressed by a Mame-
luke,—“I_’m glad I have met you, Domino.
Is the Rollo-girl in the side-room 1’” The
Mameiuke rushed into it, but returned in a
moment evidently disappointed. “One word
alone with yon,'Domino,” he said, and led
Philip into a window recess ina retired part
ofthe hall. . .

sighed, Iand shrugged his shoulders. -
“I have no pleasure now in the dance. widows find no lack of comforters.

‘ "Do you really

“They are very much mistaken in me, I

“No, indeed,” answered the widow, “they
By this Philip discovered who he was
talking with. “You. were the beautiful Rose
girl; are your roses withered so soon!”
“What is there that does not wither? not
the censtaney of man? I saw you when
you slipt ofl'wit-h the Carmelite. Acknowl-
edge your inconstancy,—you can deny it no
“Well, then, Brahmin, take ,advantage of longer.”
“Hem,"—answéred Philip, dryly, “accuse
me if you will, I can return the accusation.”
“How,—pretty buttefly if" ,
“Why, for instance, there is not a more
constant man alive than the Marsha ." ’
“There is not indeed i—and I am wrong,

fortunately disCovere‘d our flirtation.” ~
“Since- the‘ last route at Court, fair wid-

“Where you were so unguarded and par-
ticular,——pretty butterfly!”
' “Let us repair the mischief. Let us part.

The widow looked at him for some time
in speechless amazement.
“If you have indeed any regard for me,”
continued Philip, “you will go with the Mar—
shal to Poland, to .visit your relations. ’Tis
better that we should not meet so often- A
beautiful woman is beautiful,—bnt a pure
and virtuous woman is more beautiful still.”
“Prince i” cried the astonished widow,
“are you really in earnest? Have you ever
loved me, or have you all along deceived?”
“Look you,” answered Philip, “I am a
temer of a peculiar kind. I search con-
stantly among women to 0nd truth and vir-
tue, and ’t is but seldom that I encounter
them. Only.the true and virtuous can keep
me constant,—-therefore I am true to none;
but no! I will not lie,—therc is one that
keeps me in her chains,—I am sorry, fair
widow, that that one—is not you 1”
“You are in a strange mood to-night, .
Prince,” answered the widow, and the trem-
bling of her voice and heaving of her bosom
showed the working of her mind.
“N o,” answered Philip, “I am in as ration-
al a mood tonight as I ever 'was in my life.
I wish only to_ repair an injury; I- have
promised to your husband to do so.”
“How !” exclaimed the widow, in a voice
of terror, “you have discovered all to the
Marshal ‘2" ' _
“Not everything,” answered Philip, “only
' what he knew."
“The widow wrung her hands in the ex-
tremity of agitation, and at last said, “Where
is my husband ?” . '
Philip pointed to the ‘Mamelukc, who at
this moment approached them with slow
stops.
“Prince,” said the widow, in a toneof in-
expressible rage,-—“Prince,—yon may be for-
given this, but not from me ! I never dreamt
that the heart of man could be so deceitful,
—but you are unworthy of a thought. You
are an impostor! My husWndin the dress
of a barbarian is a prince; you in the dress
of a prince are a barbarian. In this world
you see me no more i” .
With these words she turned proudly away
from him, and going up to the MAmeluke
they left the hall in deep and earnest con-
versation. Philip laughed quietly, and said
to himself, “My substitute, thewatchman’
must look to it, for I do not play’my part
badly; I only hope when he returns he will
proceed as I have begun.”
He went up to the dancers, and was de-
lighted to see the beautiful Carmelita stand-
ing up in a set with the overjoyed Brahmin.
No sooner did the latter perceive him, than
he kissed his hand to him, and in dumb show
e him to understand in what a blessed
to he was. Philip thought, “’Tis a pity I
am not to be prince all my lifetime. The
people would be satisfied then; to be a
prince is the easiest thing in the world. He
can do more with a single word than a law-
yer with a four hours’ speech. Yes! if I were
a prince, my beautiful Rose would be—lost
to me forever. No! I Would not be a prince.”
He now looked at the clock, and saw it was
half past; eleven. The Mameluke hurried up
to him and gave him a paper. “Prince,” he
exclaimed. .“I could fall at your feet and
' thank you in the very dust; I am reconciled
“I beseech you,” replied the Mameiuke, in
to my wife._ You have broken her heart;
ed him why he dressed'so. “I’ll tell you,”
said the General. “ When I was a Second
Lieutenant, I-was ordered one day toWash-
ington City, and went in all the glory of a
bran new uniform. I was standing in front
of the hotel, sunning myself, and quietly
smoking a cigar, when I became aware
that I had attracted the attention of a num-
ber of small boys, who gathered around in
such, numbers, and With such admiring
countenance upturned to mine, that I could
not but notice them. As I did so, one of the
boldest ofthem spoke up in a loud voice
and asked ‘Mistcr, where is yourcn'gine go-
iu'lo squirt?’ ” Gen. Sherman has never
been guilty of a. completely new uniform
since ; he buys his uniforms in detachments
and wears them out in instalments.
General Jim, better known 'as “ Judgs'
Hart, of Ohio, ‘ had been one of Ohio’s
shrewdest lawyers, as the successor to Ben
Wade in the Senate, Senator Thurman,
found to his cost on more than one occa-
sion. He used to carry what little clothing
he kept in the field in a pair of saddle-bags; ‘
and these, when slot on his saddle, were ‘
strung across his shoulder. He one day re-
ported to Gen. Thomas in this condition,
with the additional objectionable feature of
a straw‘hat. Gen. Thomas, a strict discipli-
narian, could not let this violation of mili-
tary propriety go unrekuke,and lie alluded
to the Colonel’s appearance. Hart was ready
with a- reply. “Gen. IThomas,” “I didn’t
come into the service to spend all my money
for good clothes ;‘ I’m here to put down this
rebellion.” ' ' .
At the battle of Nashville, Gen. T. J.
Wm. gave the field officers of his division
the-privilege of dismounting when making
the charge on HoOd’s line, and being near
Col. Hart, he addressed. him personally. to
that Effect. “ Gen; Wood,” said Hart, “I’m
forty-five years old, and‘this horse is only
five ; I think he’s better. able to carry me
over those works than I am to walk, and
so I mean to ride.” He sat inIlIlis saddle du-
ing the charge until a cannon ball killed
'his- horse and carried away the calf of his
leg. Some of his soldiers advanced to help
him from the field. “ Let me alone,” be ex-
claimed, “leave me where I can see you go
over these works.” And there he laid and
watched the successful charge which broke
Hood’s-line and army. forever. . '
Whenever any reference is made in a cir-
cle of soldiers to sICVenly-dressed officers, ‘
every eye at once turn to Gen. A. J. Smith.
He commanded a corps familiary known for
their habits and mode ofwarfare as “Smith's .
Guerillas,” and though noted for their rough
appearance, it used to be said that Smith
was the ’i‘vorsbdressed man in it. He did
not likeie nickname which his command
bad received,and Once reported by telegraph
from Carlo to Halleck, “ I am here with my
command, the wandering tribes of Israel,
without name or nulliber.” Halleek tele
graphed'in reply, “ continue your exodus
until you roach the land of Canby, when
you will be given bothaname andnumber."
Gen. Smith was approached once by a farm-
er, who complained that his troops had sto- '
len all his chickens. Smith at once issued
an order to the effect that his troops were
not in future to' confiscate more than sixty
chickens from any one farmer ! In spite of
his personal habits of dress, Gen. Smith
was disposed to be strict disciplinarian, and
it is related of him-that once, on inspection,
he accosted a ‘soldier who had repaired
his uniform by sewing'on the “U. S.” but-
tons with the letters inverted, _“ There Sir,
you’ve done it atlast.” The soldier looked
puzzled. “ You’ve succeeded in doing what
the rebels can’t; you’ve turnedihe United
"States upside down.”
Gen. J. T. Wain, was a good soldier, with
one glaring fault :. his oflicial reports were
almbsIt endless- Very soon after the nomi-
nation of Mr. Seymour,'G_en. Wood, like a
good many Other disgusted Democrats, took
the stump in Ohio, for Gen. Grant. His
former Adjutant-General, Col. Bestow, now
a lawyer told the fact to a mutual acquaint-
ance. “When did he make his first speech?" _
asked the friend. “About Ia month ago,” re-
plied Bestowu “Has he finished it yet i”
was the next very. natural inquiry. But,
though WOOd was a slow writer, he was a‘
quick fighter, and did gallant service with
his sword if not with his pen.
