Macaulay's forthcoming History, from Lit. World.
CrOmWell'S Puritan Army.

The army which now became supreme
in the state, was an army very different
from any that has since been among US.
At present the pay Of the common SOL
der is not such as 10 seduce any but the
humblest class Of English laborers from
their calling. A barrier almost impassi-
Bile separates him from the commissioned
officers. The great majority Of those
who rise high in the service rise by pur-
chase. So numerous and extensive are
the remote dependencies of England, that
every mar who enlists in the line must
expect to pass many years in exile, and
some years in climates unravorable 10 the
health and vigor Of the European race.
The army of the Long Parliament was
raised for some service. The pay of the
private soldier was much above the wa
ges earned by the great body of the peo.
pie; and, if he distinguished himself by
intelligence and courage, he might hope
TO attain high commands. The ranks
were according composed Of persons SUI
perior in station and education to the null
tilude. These persons, sober, moral, dill
igent, and accustomed 10 reflect, had been
induced 10 take up arms, not by the pres.
sure of want, not by the love of novelty
and license, not by the arts Of recruiting
officers, but by religious and political
zeal, mingled with the desire of distinc-
ton and promotion. The boas, of the
soldiers, as we find it recorded in their
solemn resolutions, was, that they had
not been forced into the service. nor had
enlisted chiefly for the sake of lucre, that
they. were no janissaries, but freeborn
Englishmen, who had, of their own ac-
cord, put their lives in jeopardy for the
liberties and religion Of England, and
whose right and duty it was TO watch over
the welfare Of the nation which thew had
saved.
a force thus composed might. without
injury to its efficiency, be INDUCED in
some liberties which, if allowed to anv
other troops, would have proved subver-
sive of all discipline. In general, SOL
diers who should form themselves into
political clubs, elect delegates, and pass
resolutions on high questions Of state,
would soon break loose from all control,
would cease to form an army, and would
become the worst and most dangerous Of
mobs. Nor would il be safe, in our time,

Have you never heard the story Of the
gentleman who advertised for a coach
man! If not we will repeat it. Three
applicants were admitted 10 his ROOM
lie pointed out to them a precipice, re-
marking, "How near the edge of this
can you drive me without any danger of
an upset I"
The first applicant replied, "wi,hin a

GLOW near can you drive me 7" in
ouired the gentleman Of u second appli-
cant.
"Within q hair'a BREADTH" he replied.
As the third was about leaving the
room, supposing he had no chance of
competing with the other two, the gentle
man stopped him.
"Let me hear what you have to say

ed. We can all point to individuals who
are lost TO virtue, who, when they tooR
the first wrong step, resolved never tc

them on, only for once, but it proved lheil

Ye who are now safe, whose heart,
