and to say that il is Of little no advantage to
him, would be equivalent to the statement
that the child will know much without study
as with H. Something more than mere personal
courage is necessary in time Of war, and this
something is given to the West Point Students
and around these military students one hundred
thousand of volunteers can gamer.
Within the last few days, fifty-nine young men,
who have passed honorably through their course
of study, have graduated, and are now ready to
serve their country where most their services
required Each one of them is capable of COM
mandng company of men upon the field OF
battle-either in infantry, artillery, or cavalry
Where, in the walks of civil life, can the govern
ment readily command the services of an equal
number of as capable menl The idea OF making
officers without instruction is as absurd as that
of making mechanics without apprenticeship.
Another grave charge urged against the insti-
tuition is its arstocratic tendencies. 1t is said
that only the sons of the wealthy and influential
are allowed to participate in the benefits which
the government bestows here. Even if this were
so, it cannot be construed into objection to the
institution itself, but only to the mode of APP
pointing candidates. Eachrepresentative district
is entitled to one cadet in the academy; and out
of the great number Of applications the Secreta-
ry of War SELECTS the one for appointment, recon-
mended by the representative from sthe district
from which the applicants come, supposing him
to know who is best qualified or entitled to the
government patronage. Ifthere is favoritism any
where, It'll On the part OF the representative APP
pointed by the people, and responsible to them for
any abuse of his office But the statement is not
correct The sons Of men in oil classes of society
are found at West Point. The delicate youth
from the city stands shoulder to shoulder with the
hardy boy of the Western farmer, or the honest
mechanic. Wealth or influence purchase in
diligence, but all alike subjected to rigid dis
cpne and course Of study.
Discontinued politicians, who have no other
hobby to ride upon, occasionally revive these alb
surd charges, and as they take well in some por-
tons of the country, find them very profitable
But the good of the public is inclined in ia
vor Of the institution, and will be, so long its
practical operations as beneficial to the coun-
try at large as they have already exhibited them
selves.

THE HAPPY MAN.

INSCRIBED TO B****sd Ps**#n Jr.
To him who's pleased with all around,
There's music sweet in every sound:
In every scene of earth and sky,
There's nought but beauty meets his eve.
There is never failing Joy,
In every thought that doth employ
The mind that's pure and good and true,
Which guilty conscience never knew
He looks with kindness on his race,
Is still the same whene'er the place
Whether within the rich mans door
Or palmer mansion of the poor;
He feel. no envious, burning hate
OF all the grandeur of the great,
Nor doth despise the humble mind
OF cen the lowliest of mankind
Thus, in good nature and content,
His happy days and nights arc spent
Or full or empty be his purse,
He's not the better nor the worse:
II full, he gives unto his friends
More gladly than the usurcr lends;
If empty, still he's satisfied
His heart is rich in honest pride!
Should lavish fortune chance to bless
His labors with seme strange success,
NO vain, Wild transports then control
The even purpose of his soul:
To him, tits but smile of love
Thus kindly sent from realms above
lamp to make more bright his way,
That shines "unto the perfect day"
And ii mistortunc's hand should spoil
The cherished objects of mis- toll,
1t brings to him cank' ring pain:
lie knows all earthly tolls are vain;
But, that sure reward is given
To hose who truly toll for HEAVEN! JP.
