INDIAN HORSEMANSHIP.

Younger sons of courtly noblemen whose ances-
tors stood around the peacock throne of Aurung-
zebe, sons of Zemindars, Potails, thumbs, and so
forth—some from Itajpontana, but mostly children
of Mahomedan landholders—come in and offer
themselves with horse, weapons, and accoutre-
ment; to the recruiting agents of the Irregular
Cavalry. Nothing would tempt these proud
youngsters—most of whom are first-rate horsemen,
familiar with arms from childhood—to shoulder a
musket in the line, or to serve in the regular
cavalry. But in the irregular, where they retain
their eastern dress and saddle, and associate only
With their equals, they are so willing to engage
that at a month's notice the existing force might be
trebled. Every man is obliged before enlisting to
prove himself perfect master of his weapons and
his charger. He is required to manage a hors© at
full speed, with a saddle or without, to strike a
spear into a tent-peg at full gallop, and to draw it
from the ground, to hit a mark with carbine and
pistol, and cut through a roll of felt lying on the
ground, as he dashes by at the full stride of his
horse, and bends over his saddle to use hiinr-
ra
likalways
of sword. The swords of the Irregulars are
Y
of a keenness that contrasts wonderful! with the
blunt reaping-hooks of the English dragoons.il Not
of K that they are all, or even usually, orassan
manufacture. Most of them are of English steel,
and owe their sharpness to contiuual grinding and
leathern scabbards. The skill to which some of
the regulars attain, both with
larice and sword is
extraordinary. Long ago in the Madras Presidency
I witnessed a sort of mock tournament given by
the privates of Skinner's
displayedikilner's Horse, in which such
horsemanship Wa
as-
tounded Astley's as would have
performers ; while some of the
troopers carried away a tent peg on their spears,
twenty times running, at full speed.—My Note

ADMIRATION.—Never forc • yourself to admire any-
thing when you are not in the° humour;
yourself from what you feel to be

but only to choose one from among the multitude of
melodious thoughts with which you will be haunted,
thoughts which will, of course, be noble or original in
proportion to your depth of character and general power
of mind ; for it is not so much by the consideration you
give to any single drawing, as by tLe previous discipline
of your powers of thought that the character of your
coepesition will be determined. Simplicity of life will
make you sensitive to the refinement and modesty of
scenery, just as inordinate excitement and pomp of
daily life will make you enjoy coarse colours and affected
forme. Habits of patient eJmparison and accurate judg-
ment will make your art precious as they will make
your ae.ion wise ; arid every incruftee of noble enthu-
