CIVIL ENGINEERING

Will be thoroughly and practically taught in
the Western Military Institute--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 now offered $75 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-
structon in Kentucky-whIst others of the same
class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, $4,000, 81 500, or S. 200 year as As
slstant 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 81 200 or 8 500 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 eagsrness 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 Engi-
neer, the Geologist, the Mneralogist the Surveyor
and the Architect. Young men who have an
ATTITUDE for the Mathematical and Physical Sci
ences, will have wide field opened to them for
engaging in an honorable, healthful and lucra-
tive pursuit. for which they may be thoroughly
and practically qualified, in a short time, and at
small expense, at the Western Military Institute.

ASEcDorE OF LATIMER-h is related
Of Laiimer that when he once preached
before that tyranL Henry VIII, he took a
plain, straightforward text, and in his ser
mon assailed those very sins for which the
monarch was notorious, and he was stung
to the quick, for truth always fines a res
ponse in The worst mans conscience. He
would not bend beneath the authority Of
his God. but sent for LatimeI, and said
"Your life is in jeopardy, if you do not re-
cant all you said to-day when ' GU preach

were all anxious to know the consequences
Of this. and the chapel was crowded. The
venerable man took his text, and after a
pause, began with a soliloquy, thus:
"Now, Hugh Lattimer. bethink thee,
thou art in The presence Of thy earthly Mon
arch-thy life is in his hands, and If thou
dost not suit his fancies, he will bring down

He then went on, and not only repeated
what he had before advanced. but, If posi-

ter he had finished, Henry sent for him,
and said, show durst thou insult thy mon-

"Mr. Fox was totally unlike his great
rival. Piu was stately, taciturn, and Of an
austerer temper. Fox was easy, social aud
of kindly Disposition. PITT was tall and
grave, and entering he House carefully |
dressed, walked proufy.s 70 The head Of he !
Treasury UeuCu, and teok ms seat as Of IL |
ni6ed and dumb as slatute. Fox was
burly and jovial, entered the House in a
slouched hat and with Careless air, and,
as he approached the Opposition benches,
had nod for this learned city member, and
a Joke for mat wealthy knight OF the shire,
and sat down, as much at ease as If he
were lounging in the back parlor Of coUn-
try inn. Pin, as the adage runs, could
speak Kings speech ofhand." so con-
secutive were his sentences; and his round
smooth periods delighted the aris,ocracy OF
all parties. Fox made the Lords Of the
Treasury quail. as he acclaimed in piercing
tones against ministerial corruption. while
bis friends shouted shear hear" and sp-
plauded ill the House shook. Pitts sen
fences were pompous and sonoTous. and
often "their sound revealed their own hoI-
lowness." Fox uttered sturdy Ans io-SaI-
on sense; every word pregnant with meaning.
Pitt was a thorough business man, and
relied for success in debate upon careful
preparation. Fox despised the drudgery OF
the Office, and relied upon his intuitive per-
ceptions and his robust strength. PITT Was
the greater Secretsy-Fox the greater
Commoner. Pitts oraiory was like the
frozen stalscties and pyramids which gilt
Ter around Niagara IN mid winter-siaiely,
clear and cold. Fox's like the vehement
waters which sweep over its brink, and roar
and boil in the abyss below. Pitt, in his
great efforts, only erected himself the more
proudly, and uttered more full Johnsonian
sentences, sprinkling his dignihed bot mon
otonous state paper style with Eungent
sarcasms. speaking as one having authority,
and commanding that il might stand fast.
Fox, on such occasions. reasoned from
first principles, denouncing where he could
not persuade. and reeling under his great
thoughts, until his excited feelings rocked
him like the ocean in a storm. Pitt dis
played the -.ost Ghotoric, and his mellow
voice charmed like the notes Of an organ.
Fox displayed the most argument and his
shrill notes pierced like arrows. Pitt he'd
an icy taste; Fox fiery logic. Pitt had
art; Fox nature Pitt was digni6ed, cool,
cautious. Fox manly, generous. brave.
Pitt had mind; Fox a soul. Pin was a
majestic automaton; Fox a living man.
Pin was the minister Of the King; Fox, the
Champion of the People. Bolh were the
early advocates OF Parliamentary reform;
bur Pitt retreaied, while Fox advanced;
and both joined in denouncing and abolish
ing the horrors Of the middle passage. Both
died the same year. and they slept side by
side in Westminster Abbey. their dust
mingled with that Of their mutual friend,
Wilberforce; while over their tombs watch
