CIVIL ENGINEERING

Will be thoroughly and practically taught in
the Western Military 1nstitute--the Professor,
Col. Morgan, being one of the most skillful and
experienced Engineers in the United States. All
the instruments connected with that department
have been procured at considerable COST and of the
best quality
The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating
that he is offered SS75 per month, for COM
petent assistant Engineers. One of his former
pupils receives at this time, So 500 per annum, as
Principal Engineer of railroad now under con-
struction in Kentucky-whilst others of the same
class receiving in different parts of the United
States, $4,000. 81 500, or ST 200 year as As
sIstant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there
will be great demand for such as have been pre-
pared, for that vocation, at the Western Military
Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that
they will readily command $l 200 or s 500 per
annum. Every man of observation must see that
the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give
birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them.
The rapid advancement of our whole country, and
the eagerness of our people for exploring the hid.
den resources of the new States and the newly
acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages
to come, to the skill and enterprise of the Eng-
neer the Geologist the Mineralogist, the Surveyor
and the Architect. Young men who have an
aptitude for the Mathematical and Physical sci
ences, will have wide field opened to them for
engaging in an honorable, heathful and ucra-
tive pursuit, for which they may be thoroughly
and practically qualified, in short time, and at
small expense, at the Western Military Institute.

sThe grist- stands beside the stream,
With bending roof and leaning wall;
So old, that when the winds are wild,
The miller trembIes lest it fall;
But moss and ivy, never sere,
Bedeck it Ger from year to year.
The dam is steep and weeded greeM
The gates are raised. the waters pour,
And tread the old wheels slippery steps,
The lowest rounds for ever more;
Meth,.ks they have sound OF ire,
Because they could not climb It higher:
From morn till night, in autumn time,
When yellow harvests load the plains,
Up drives the farmer to the mill,
And back anon, with loaded wains;
They bring a wealth Of golden grain,
And take it back in meal again.
The mill inside is dim and dark;
But reeping in the open door,
You see the miller fitting round,
And dusty bags upon the floor;
And by the shaft, and down the spout,
The yellow meal comes pouring out.
And all day long the winnowed chaf
Floats round it on the sutry breeze,
And shineth like settling swarm
Of golden-winged and belted bees;
Or sparks around bat ksmith's door,
When bellows blow and forges roar.
Hove our pleasant, quaint old mill!
1t minds me of my early prime:
"Tis changed since then, but not so much
AS 1 am, by decay and time;
Its wrecks are mossed from year to year,
But mine all dark and bare appear.
/ stand beside the stream of life,
The mighty current sweeps along;
Lifting the food-gates of my heart,
1t turns the magic wheel of song,
And grinds the ri rened harvest brought
From out the golden field of thought!
