The articles in the present number OF
the North American Review, are various
aud instructive. The first paper cont aims
a very clear and excellent account OF the
Military Academy at West Point. it
ives US more information on the course
Of studies and the internal discipline in
that institution than we have any where
else seen. This is quite necessary, as
The Academy has been exposed TO at
tacks from various quarters, and on va
rious grounds, within he las, few years,
and on one occasion, at least, the pas
sions Of the times, and the misapprehen
sions which had been long siudiously
fomen nted by its enemies, had well nigh
led TO its overthrow. All the arguments
that have been Mt various times urged
against this most valuable institution,
are met by The writer in The Review,
and satisfactorily reluted. The follow
ing extract gives in few words II gener-
al sketch Of the studies pursued there ;
The mode Of instruction, and the princi.
pies on which the rank OF the students is
determined -
/ The studies pursued at the academy
are, for the most part, scientific. Cen
eral literature, the languages, except
French, bellies Ieiires, and the classics
form no part Of the course. Some mis-
/ appre hension has existed on this suble
and detailed account may therefore be
interesting.

Withdrew.
An hour after, he returned with a new
and more explicit bill. II called for two
hundred dollars for six visits and medi-
cine. 10 dog Fido.' As soon as lie read
il, Mr.. May flower became very angry,
and said some hard things aboat Doctor
Carpus. When he had cooled of li-
lie, the collector formally demanded The
bill, and was, as formally, told to 90
about his business, and that right speedl-
/ lIy.
On the next morning, MIR. May howci
was still further conioundrd to find n law
II ,er's note nn his desk, setting forth that
he, the said lawyer, had been instructed
To bring suit on n certain claim, fully en-
pressed, 10 favor of Doctor Carpus.
/ Here, then, The matter began to as
sumo rather serious form. A lawyer
was consulted, who assured him iha
Carpus could moi possibly recover th,
amount clnimed, although he was legal,
entitled to regular fees for his services
which would undoubtedly, be awarded
him. But, a. the prosecution Of the sui
would necessarily lead 10 IN unplensan
exposure of his daughter who, If he de-
tended the case, would be called into
court 10 give evidence, The lawyer seri
ou.ly advised the incens-d old gentleman
to settle the claim, unjust aud exorhi
tan as il was, and so get clear OF the
whole matter.
/ Ii took old Mr. MAY flower GONE days
to make up his mind to pay The bill
Finally, however, The tears and entrea
ties Of poor Mary prevailed, who had I
dreadful fear of being called into court
Her fun with the doctor brought the
laugh upon ihe wrong side.
II About week after the claim was set
! tied, a letter was received from Doctor
i Carpus, couched in pretty plain but re-
spectiul language, setting forth the ma
lure and effects OF the practical joke
which the young lady had played of
upon him, and alleging, that as She had
enjoyed little fun at hts expense, u
WAS no more than fair that she should pay
off the score IN her own CON. In con
clusion, he referred to two one hundred
dollar bills he had enclosed, and stated
that as he had no lega! right To them, be

ed in making the party who had provok
ed him To institute mock-sult, sensible
Of her lolly, and there he was willing IL
let the matter drop trusting, that wher
next she took It into her head to have
some fun with the doctor, she would
think twice before she acted once. And
here the matter ended, leaving both Doc
tor Carpus and Mary May flower some
what wiser from having read quite ni,en-
lively a new leaf to them in the book OF
human life.
