Whether making loviliness yet more win.

yet il is beautiful. Magic lurkes thereins
ard sways the human heart 40 words

they may need. And beneath the en-.

mood-may yield its mad intent, il rot
cast out forever its evil promplings and
its dark propensilies. And so may the
smile Of derision maddened beyond what
the utmost words can 60, even as the
smile OF praise will spur humanity to
great and noble deeds beyond the ap.
proach Of all other promptings. Its sien,
power sinks in The heart, and heals some
new made thrust, as sweetly and gently
as falls the mysterious dew from Heaven.
And the smile Of love II beams In the

with deeper, purer joy, it comes 10 the

The London Times on the Northern
War Spirit.

We extract the following from recent
article in the London Times
"ln one respect all boasts Of the North
are justified by the facts. TIE energy
the Free States have displayed, the grea,
number Of men they have raised, and the
good material OF which their army is com
posed, are beyond all praise. II is easy Ia
see that great deal Of their irri,ability
towards England arises from feeling
that justice has not been done to their
patriotic spirit by public opinion here.
Looking, as every American does, to the
opinion OF England, they have been NOR.
tilted at finding that an effort which they
fee' to be worthy Of all admiration has
been received by us with GOODNESS, for
geful as they are that we are bound 20
refraiL from enthusiasm Tor their military
ardor when the object is to crush those
with whom we are as much in relation as
with themselves. Northerners are natur-
ally elated at their own capacity for war,
and the proof they have given that, how
ever long suffering and however yielding
10 Southern assumption they have hereto
fore shown themselves. they have still the
energy 10 uphold their constitutional
rights. But. though having very great
force on foot, and being desirous OF bring
ing their opponents to terms as shortly as
possible, we can not think that any large
plan of campaign will be marked out for
the summer months. Not until the cool
of October admits Of long and continuous
marches, and discipline Of new levies has
been perfected, will that advance take
place which, if the schemes of the North
erners be well carried out, is TO restore
Virginia TO the Union. and allow the
whole force of the invaders to be concen-
tra,ed on the conquest Of South Carolina,
which event will. in their opinion, bring
back all her seduced sisters 10 the old
Confederacy.

Curious Facts.

II is tod. on the best authority, tina
an Englishman was introduced to the
celebrated John Hunter. who could, arc

In pedestrian agility and power of long
endurance, many Hindoos are scarcely
behind the natives OF North America. A
set OF bearers will carry a palanquin,
heavily laden. forty miles between the
setting and rising Of the sun, returning
with the same the following night.
Two centuries ago, not one person in a
thousand wore wove stockings ; now, not
one person in thousand is without them
yet William Lee, the inventor of the
stocking -irams, could get no person to
patTonize his invention, and died of cha
grin and modification in consequence.
II has been calculated that more than
three hundred pounds of blood pass
through mans heart during every hour
Of his life. The average quantity of
blood in an adult male is about thirty
pounds; so that the same blood, we
might say, passes through the heart ten
times in an hour.
In the time Of William the Corqueror,
the English wore short garments reaching
TO the mid'knee. They had their hair
cropped their boards shaven their
arms laden with golden bracelets and
their skins ornamented with punetursd
designs.
The whole Roman language, says Wes-
ley, does not afford SO much as a name
for humility, (the word from which we
borrow this bearing in Latin quite a
different meaning:) no, nor was one
found in all the copious language of the
Greeks. till it was made by the great
Apostle.

A Miser Punished

Under the region OF the khalphs, ther,
was a merchant at Bagdad, equally ricl
and avaricious. One day he bargainec
with porter to carry home for him a
large basket Of porcelain vases for ten
paras. AS they wen: along, he said tc
the man:
"My friend you are young, and am
oId--you can still earn plenty-strike off,
/ enireat you, para for your hire"
Willingly" replied the porter.
The request was repeated again and
again, until. when they reached the house
the porter had only single para to re.
ceive. As they went up stairs. the mer.
chant said :.
"If you will resign the last para, will
give you three pieces Of advice"
"Be il so," said the porter.
"Well, then," said the merchant, "iI
any one tells you il is better TO be fasting
than feasting, do not believe him if any
one tells you il is better to be poor than
rich, do no. believe him; il any one tells
you better TO walk than ride, do not be-
lieve him."
"My good sir" replied the astonished
porter, 81 knew these things before, but il
you will listen to me will give you advice
such as you never heard"
The merchant turned round, and the
porter, throwing the basket down the
staircase, said TO him
"If any one tells you that one OF your
vases remsins unbroken, do not believe
him."
Before the miser could reply, the port.
er bad made his escape.

How They are Trained a West Point.

At West Point the cadets are daily
trained to shoot a: a target with the mus
ket-rifle. They fire ten shots, in squads
Of ten, at as many iron targets, the size
and form Of man. Each squad is ar.
ranged in line, SO that each cadet fires a,
his own target, which has its number
painted upon it. The shooting OF each
squad is recorded. so that the qualities Of
each marksman. are well known 10 the
instructor.
While on visit TO this famous military
school last summer. We paid close atten.
tion TO the rifle shooting Of the cadets. !,
was what may be called in general, loo,
firing yet we could not fail to notice
how some Of the cadets appeared to be
marksmen, while others appeared 10 nat,
urally incapable Of learning the art.
One cadet, whom we watched, tried in
vain to hit his target at very moderate
distance; not believeing the fault was
with himself. he complained it must be in
the rifle. He was soon convinced of his
error by the instructor taking up his rife
and planting bullet right in the "bulPs
eye." We made some inquiries Of the
instructor respecting Il e cadets in learning
to shoot, when he told us that the youth
to whom we have Just referred, could not
make marksman. .
Chapman, in his book called "The
American Rifle" state that all men dodge
in firing-some before, and others just
after the shot is fred. The latter class
may learn to be marksmen, the former
never. In learning to shoot with rifle Q
person should endeavor TO acquire {
steady, cool, demeanor with true quicl
eye, and nimble finger. Practice. anG
nothing but practice, can make goot
merksman. Al the same time mere firms
is not the only practice necessary.
