merit among the poorer classes Of the
people. az brought them forward by en-.

He crowded West Point with the bold and
energetic sons of the democracy Of the
country, the working men. He bused
himself with inquiries into the most insig-
nlGcant details, in order to discover merit
and capacity. And when he found them
surrounded by difficulties, when he per
ceived promise and merit struggling against
poverty and adverse fortune, he never
fal!ed 10 come to their relief. Well do
VIC remember, how in 1882, hearing Of the
sallantry OF lad who defended his mother
and sisters against the insurgent negroes
in the Southampton lnsurreclion, in Vir-
ginia, the old Hero despatched a messen-
ger to the ''young hero with the offer of
a midshipman's commission in the Navy.
or place at w est Point. And, on another
occasion, we were cognizant of his voiun-
tary tender of a similar appointment to a
young man, who at the risk of his own
life, hid saved another from drowning -
We also remember how he was led TO ap-
point CoIone! May, ofthe dragons, from
an observation Of his skill and coolness in
hor>emanship. These are only a few,
taken from a crowd of examples 10 the
same effect showing the profound sagac:ty
honest repuplcanism, and true democracy
of that illustrious man.

Friendship.
rY Auausrus ELL1s.

BY AUGUSTUS ELLIS.
Soft zephyrs ON the mountain sides,
Which singing come and pass,
In quest of yiolets for their brides,
Sweet fow'rets yelled in gr IS;
And blue bells on the shaded lawn,
That cluster in q row
And softly chime at mornings dawn,
Are fair and fine, know;
But all their charms cannot Transcend
The tender smile of loving friend.
Not he who checks the angry look,
The cold and harsh reply,
Shall want a friendsor sheltering nook
When life's dread storms are nigh;
Yet while the heart is moaning drear,
And like matchless dove,
o how we prize the words that cheer
From Sympathy and Love!
Not thus can Wealth's or Beauty's glow
Arouse to joy the heart Of wo.
The roses of the cheek will fade,
< And care shall dim the eye;
The snowy breast of laughing maid
Must give the heaving sigh;
The gleeful shout Of youngster gay,
Old ages power can hush,
And gems that yield the darting ray,
The hand of time may crush;
But fresh in amaranthine bloom,
Sweet Friendship will outliye thetomb.
The funeral dirge, the tolling he'll,
The sable hearse of gloom,
And tears that weep the last farewell,
May tell our friends cold doom;
Then let each loving gift We prize,
As holy relics dear,
And Memory from our streaming eyes
Lets fall the the frequent taari
While Faith and hspe go hand in hand,
To meet them in the spirit land.
