Country ana City.

A worthy friend recently said to me-
"a gentleman of observation from one
Of our principal cities of the West, stated
TO me, that in point Of fact, almost all the
leading men Of the cities were from the
country, and had been raised farmers
sons. The reasons seemed To me quite
obvious. The vigorous health, patient
industry, thorough economy, and hard
thinking necessary to success, are the
product of the country, and but seldom
Of the town or city. A large part of the
merit and talent Of the country. doubtless
remains upon and adorns our farms. An
other is drawn by spirit of enterprise TO
TO our towns When they enter, they find
an active competition that brings out their
best efforts. Success on their part takes
away the necessity for effort on their chill
dren, and the next result is, that their
children become reduced in means and
merit, and every element of success, and
are driven to some refuge in vice or petty
employment. 1t is, therefore, the duty
of the man who has been successful in
town 10 retire to the country again, that
his children may partake, as far as posi-
bic, OF his advantages"
In travelling, one day last year. the rain
drove us into a country tavern, where a
fat man, of some fifty years OF age, enter
tanned US with the following quaint, but
not improbable theory: "You see, sir,
everything comes around in abont four
generations First comes the enterpris.
ing and hard working fellow, who gets
the money, then his children begin tc
live in style, but their parents example
and stamina keep them pretty well ur
but their children begin TO run down, in
their hands the property is wanted, and
they die poor, and the fourth race begins
in poverty and works upward again

How a Soldier Feels in Battle.

A young French officer thus writes Of his
first experience in battle:
Our officers kept us back, for wo were
not numerous enough to charge upon the
enemy. This was. moreover, most prudent
for this murGerous fire-so fatal to tho
white costs-Gid us but littlo harm. Our
conicai balls penetrated their dense masses
whilo those of tho AustrianS whistled pas.
our ears and respected our persons. Ii wns
the first time | had faced fire, nor was tho
only ono. Well. am satisfied with myself
Truo, lodged tho rirst balls, but Horny "
thoy say, did tho same at the beginning OF
evory battle. 1t Is, in fact, physical effect
independent of tho will.
But, this tribute paid, if you could only
feel how each shot oIectrfcs you. 1t is
like a whip on racers legs Tho balls
whistle past you, turn up tho earth around
you, kill one, wound another, and you hard
ly notice them. You grow intoxicated. the
smell of gunpowder mounts to your brain
Tho owe becomes bloodshot, and the look is
fixed upon the enemy. There iS something
OF all the passions in that terrible passion
excited in a soldier by the sight of blood
and tho tumuIt of battle.
Everybody who has tried it testifes TO
the peculiar intoxcation that is produced by
being in battle. There is an intatuating
influence about tho smell of powder, tho
shril whistle of bullet, and tho sight OF
human blood, that instantly transforms
men from towards to heroes-trom women
sometimes to monsters. None can tell OF
the nature or mystery of thht influence but
those who have boon in the fray them
selves"

AT.WAR.

Tho hour Is nsar--the battle sot--
And freedom is the holy prize:
What nauly hcnrt can e'er forget
Beneath tho tyrant's eyes
Beneath tho tyrant's cruol hand
How fearful drooped the withering land
To live we're death, if such wore life,-
OF weary thought and wringing pain
But hope renews us for the strife
We burst in arms tho chain;
Igpoble peace tho sordid soul
Makes moro slave as ages roll.
Freedom alone is life; to die
Woro life so bought upon the field---
Freedom from oarth's insonssIe lie,
That bids lite npGlest Weld,
To coward guilt. to worship gold,
And all its vicious purpose cold.
We. for the homes we lovo go dear.
We. for the fields our fathers won,
Meet battles front. without II fear;
Beneath the rising sun
Our banners court tho brcczc--our word
Death to the tyrnnt aud our horde.
When stood people for tho right,
But with tho will found out the way
March Truth and honor led tho fight
March Ours shall be the day;
Down go tho holds of wrong aud prido,
The King of Hosts is on our sido.

Fixedness of Purpose @

When child is learning to walk, il
you can induce the little creature to keep
its eyes fixed on any point in advance, it
will generally navigate" to that point
without capsizing, but distract its atten,
ton by word or act from the object before
it, and down goes the baby. The rule
applies TO children OF a larger growth.
The man who starts in life with a deter,
mination to reach certain position, and
adheres unwaveringly TO his purpose, re-
jecting the advice of the overcautious,
and de(ying the auguries OF the timid,
rarely fails if he live long enough to reach
the goal for which he set out. If circum.
stances oppose him. he bends them to his
exgenccs by the force Of energetic, in.
domitable will. On the other hand, he
who vacillates in his course, "yawning." !"
as The sailors say. toward oil points Of the
compass, is pretty sure to become help.
les csstaway before his voyage OF life is
half completed. There can be no question
among phlosophic observers Of men and
events, that fxedness of purpose is a
grand element of human success
Wealhercock men ar c natures failures.
They are good for nothing. Better
downright bigheaded obstinacy than eter-
nal vacilIation; better willful blindness TO
danger, however menacing, than the hes
i!sncy which is forever weighing the pos
sibiiIies OF defeat against the chances of
victory. The men of action, whose names
are written imperishably on the page Of
history, were men of iron. Silky fellows
may do for intrigue, but the founders,
and conquerors, and lberators and saw
iors of empires have all been of the war
rior metal. No human being who habit
uslly haIts between two opinions, who
cannot decide promptly, and, having de-
cided, act as if there were no such word
as fail, can ever be great. Ceasar would
never have crossed the Rubicon, nor
Washington the Delaware, had they not
fixed their stern gaze on objects far be-
yond tho perils at their feet.

The GARDEN-Is d bound volume of q

The GARDEs--Is q bound volume Of az.
ricultural life, written in poetry. In II the
farmer and his family see the great indus.
tries of the plow spade. and hoe, in rhyme.
Every flower, or fruit bearing tree is green
syllable after the graceful type aud curse OF
Eden. Every bed of flowers is an acrostic
to nature written in the capitals of her own
alphabet. Every bed of beets, celery or Ga.
yory roots, or bulbs, is a page of blank verse,
full of bellies lettres of agriculture. Tho
farmer may be seen in his garden. Il con.
tains the synopsis of his character in letters
that may be read across the road. Tho
barometer hung by his door will indicate
certain facts about the weather. but the
garden, lying on the sunny side of the
house, marks with greater precision, the de-
gree of mind and heart culture which he has
reached. 1t will embody and reflect bis
tastes, the bent and bias of his perceptions
of grace and beauty. In II TO holds up the
mirror of his inner life 10 oil who pass and
with an obssrvant eye they may SEQ all the
features of bis intellectual being in It. In
that choice rood Of earth be records bis pro"
gress in mental cultivation and in profss.
sonal cultivation. In it he marks, by some
intelligent sign, bis scientific and successful
economies in the corn field. In it you may
seu the germs of his reading, and can almost
tell the number and nature of his books
In il Ee will post an answer to the question
whether he has any taste for reading at all.
Many nominal farmers house has been
passed by tho book agent, without osil, be-
cause he saw blunt, gruf negative to the

FEMALE MAJORITY IN CrrIEs.-Males
predonderate in the country--female in
cities. This is occasioned by the influx
Of women in search OF employment which
they cannot find in the country. In the
city OF Brooklyn, in the year 1855, the
excess Of females was ten thousand nine
hundred and nineiy.two; in New Y ork
twenty-three thousand nine hundred and
thirty-two. In 1850. the excess was seven
thousand three hundred and thirty. five
so that the probable excess is near thirty
thousand. In 1850, the excess in Boston
WAS five thousand three hundred and
thirty-three, and in Philadelphia, fifteen
thousand eight hundred and eighty. The
proportion is about equal, the excess be-
ing near four per cent. of the entire pop
ula,ion in all but Brooklyn, which is
about five per cent.

Position.

"Mon should not marry" 1t is commonly
said, "unleSs they can not only maintain for
themselves tho social position to which they
havo been accustomed, but extend tho ben
eRts of that position to thoir wives and
children. A woman who marries is entitled
to be kept in tho same rank and position in
which sho was reared"
We entirely disavow these doctrines. 1t
should bo the aim of evory married couple
to make their own fortunes. No son and
daughter. who become man and wife, arc
entitled to roly on their patrmoCv, but
should willingly commence ifo at lower
step in tho socinl ladder than that occupied
bv their parents. so that thcy may have the
merit and happiness Of rising. If possible. to
the top. Imagine tho case of couple who
by great perseverance, havo acquired pos
session Of immense wealth, aud are living in
style of ease and spendor which ia no
m oro than the reward of industry. Will
pnvhody say that tho children of such "od
folks" should live in the Same grandeur as
their parents 7
The idea is prcpostcrous. They have no
right to such luxury. they have done moth.
ing to deserve il; and If their parents are
honest in dividing their property among
them. they can have no means of support.
