Boy SOLDIERS .-A.correspondent in the
N. Y. Journal of Commerce, writing from
Zurich, thus speaks of the Cadets, by which
are meant the boys in the public schools:
In one of my recent letters, when ex.
planning the Swiss military system men
toned the cadet institution excellent
preparatory school for the Swiss army, and
for future officers especially. The Zurich
cadets number about 600, varying in age
from 10 to 18 years. They wear grey pants,
blue coats and military caps, and are armed
with muskets, bayonets being Of different
sizes according to the stature of the little
soldiers Besides, they have field battery
of 2 two-pounders and 2 four-pounders.-
Their officers of lower rank, including lieut.
euants; are selected from their own midst,
while their instructors and commanders are
officers of the Swiss army. Two days ago
the Zurich cadets were inspected by the
chief the staff of the federal army, Col
Ziegler, going through all the military ex-
ercises with precision fully equal to, if not
SURPRISING many troops of full grown SOL
diers, and afterwards they performed field
naneuvre, or a sham battle, at little dis!
tauce from the city of Zurich, the outlines
of the maneuvre being given by the inspect
ing officers. For that purpose they were
divided into two corps, each Of them COM
manded by colonel of the Swiss army
The idea of the maneuvre was this: the
vanguard of the invading army approaching
Zurich, detachment of the Swiss army was
sent against it, when battle ensued, the
Swiss attacking first; but the attack being
repulsed, the enemy on its turn went over to
charge, and compelled them to retreat !;
the Swiss, however, taking strong position
and offering vigorous resistance, the enc
my desisted and broke off the battle. The
battle commenced at three o'clock, P. NJ,
and lasted until At, the young warriors fight
ing gallantly all the time, each Of them con-
suming about 40 cartridges. After the COM
bat was finished, both armies were led to a
public garden, where they received some re-
freshments, including bottle of wine for
each of them, which disappeared rather
quickly, more 80 than even the cartridges.
The whole affair was very interesting, and
at the same time very useful entertainment.

will sometimes seem hard ones, but they
will grow easier, and easier, until, inally,
doing the right thing will become habit,
and to do wrong will seem an impossibility.

PHYSICAL BENEFIT OF THE SABBATH
The Sabbath is Gods special present to the
working men, and one of his chief objects
is to prolong his life, and preserve efficient
his working tone. In the vital system it
acts like compensation pond it replenish-
es the spirit, the elasticity and vigor which
the last six days have drained away, and
supplies the force which is to fill the six days
succeeding; and, in the economy of exis-
tence, it answers the same purpose as, in
the economy of income, is answered by a
savings bank. The frugal man who puts
away pound to-day and another pound next
month, and who, in a quiet way, is putting
by his stated pound from time to time, when
he grows old and frail gets not only the
same pound back again, but good many
pounds besides. And the conscientious man,
who husbands one day Of his existence eve-
ry week-who, instead of allowing the Sab
bath to be. trampled and torn in the hurry
and scramble of life, treasures it devoutly
up; the Lord of the Sabbath keeps it for
him, and, in the length Of days, the hale old
age gives it back with usury. The savings
bark of human existence is the weekly Sab
bath.-Morth British Rcvie'v.

A CONSTANT MIRAcLE.-The Bible it.
self is a standing and an astonishing mira
cle Written fragment by fragment, through
out the course of fifteen centuries, under
different states of society, and in different
languages, by persons Of the most opposite
tempers, talents and conditions, learned and
unlearned, prince and peasant, bond and
free; cast into every form of instructive
composition and good writing, history, pro-
phecy, poetry, allegory, emblematic repre-
sentation, judicious Interpretation, liberal
statement, precept, example, proverbs, dis
QUESTIONS, epistle, sermon, prayer-in short
all rational shapes of human discourse, and
treating, moreover, on subjects not obvious
but most difficult; its authors are not found,
like other writers, contradicting one another
upon the most ordinary matters of fact and
opinion, but are at harmony upon the whole
of their sublime and momentous scheme.

Exs"We ask the special attention Of our
leaders TO tie call for aTempelance Meet
ing, which Will be found IN another col
umn. 1t was handed TO us just as we go
TO press and we have not time for eX;en-
died remarks.
This is a subject in which every good
citizen has u vital interest. 1t appeals to
no party either in politics OF religion, as
such.
The destroyer is abroad in the land and
is no respector of per ons. The Demo-
crat, the Republican, the American-the
native-born and the emigrant-the CHRIS
tan and the wording are all alike inter
ested. Many are personally safe from
amy danger of becoming Incorporate them
selves; but still by the invariable opera
ton of social laws they must feel its effects.
Their children are in danger. Their prop
erly is not secure, nor so valuable as if
the evil did not exist. Business is not so
prosperous-education is not so general
morality not so universal as would be the
case if the use of Intoxicating drinks were
abandoned.
Crime runs rot in our streets; our JUS
tees offices and Courts are the frequent
scenes of prosecutions for o~ffenses which
would never be committed bat for this
cause. Our Jail is almost constantly filed
with those who would be good citizens
but for the unhappy use of these bever-
ages, and the Penitentiary at almost every
term, closes its gloomy walls around some
victim from our midst. While these are
suffering the horrible mental and bodily
tortures which the temperate can scarcely
conceive, their wretched wives pine away
in disgrace and neglect, lives, that under
other circumstances, would adorn society;
and their children, neglected and outeast,
turn and prey upon the community which
~sustains the customs which ruined them.
Whitening and blight, in every form. are
the sure concomitants of the use of liquor;
and yet but little is done-and that little
not perhaps in the wisest manner-.o ar
rest the evil.
Many good citizens have stood aloof
from any efforts heretofore made, because
they did not fully approve the modes adopt
ed, or the spirit manifested by those most
active In the cause. They have seen and
deplored the evil, but done nothing. Will
all such now rally and give their counsel
in this matter. We have been afraid Of
each other-afraid that some party CAPT
tai would be made or lost by taking part
IN the movement. In the name of hu.
mainly let all party feelings be held in
allegiance. Let men of all parties, as they
have signed the call, meet together on the
common ground of citizens, and talk the
matter " calmly, deliberately, and en-
deavor wisely to do what can be lone fol
the ause. Let there be a general at
tendance of the citizens, and lettheir reso-
iutions be strengthened by the presence Of
the ladies', who have a special interest in
this subject.
