Each ali are away 20 that dwelling rest.
The maid on whose brow on whose cheek ia whose eye
shone bessty and pleasure-her triumphsare byi
And a alhe from the minds Of the living erased
Are che men'es Of morals who loved her and praised
The hand Of the King that the sceptre hath borne,
The brow ef the Priest, that the mitre hath worn,
The eye Of the Sage, and the heart of the brave,
Are hidden and lost the depths Of the grave.
The peasant whose lot was to sow and to reap;
The heardsan who cmed with his goats up tho steepi
The beggsr. who wandered in search OF his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread
50 the multitude goes, like the flower or weed,
That withers away TO let others succeed
so the multitude comes even those we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same our fathers have been;
We see the same sights our fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream, we see the same sun;
And run the same course our fathers have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers did think;
From the death shrinking our fathers did shrink
To the life we are clingng our fathers did cling,

They died-ahl they died-we, things that are now,
That walk on the turf that lies over their brow,
Aud make in their dwelling transient abode.
Meet the things that they met their pilgrimage road
Yea hope and despondency, pleasure aud pain
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear and the song and the drge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.
ris the wink ofan eye It's the draught Of breath
From the blossom ofhealth to the paeness of DEATH
From the gded saloon To the bier and shrowd;
OH why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

To the Editors Of the Enquirer:
The numerous queries on the subject OF cav

admit Of other than very brief replies BY letter.
and therefore beg leave TO give the desired
information through your columns.

The most approced cup is ccnical in shape,
not more than FIVE Or six inches in height with
q waterproof cover, extending when untoloed
to the shoulders. The fine hslnst or shake
and the cooked hat with ostrich feathers, all
do very we'll for parudes, reviews. &C., but IN
actual war service had better br left at home.
The ARMs Tor the dragon are, besides the
sabre, one revolver or repeating pistol and one
sAort rite Coop SAHREs can be furnished to
mounted companies at the State Armory, pro-
y,ded such companies have complied with the
legal reouisitioilS that is, there must be at
least so bona. ide members rank and .ile, all
we'll uniformed and mounted. The same Sa-
hres are furnished 10 officers and men. 0tii-
GERS sabres, if wanted, must be obtained by
private purchase OF Ames. in Massachusetts,, or
from Europe.
As to Firearms, one revolver pistol. with
or S-inch barrel, is indispensable Colts is
good tue French equally so, or better. The
Deane < Adams pistol is not approved, ard oil
selCcockers unreliable. The English Trsnter
revolver is as good as any.
At the present crisis, no troop should look
to the State for pistols; there will surely be
long delay, or disappointment Let each com
ty arm its trUop. If the protection afforded ~
not an equivalent for the triing cost Of pIS-

During the Revolutionary War, nearly all
the States we're slave States and any comparison
made upon that war would be greatly to the
advantage Of the slaveholdinS States, since
slavery was permitted in all except Massa'
chuset;s But let the military capacities
of the two sections be compared for
the war of 1912 and the Mexican war,
and we find that the armies of the Repu5-
lie numbers in both wars about 1874, 900 men, Of
which number the South furnished $4,000,
and the North Isl, 900; so that the slaTehold'
ine States have furnished more soldiers 10 the
armies ofthe Republic that the Northern States
notwithstanding the much larger number OF
white population that the North has. And
there exists reason for it which cannot fail to
strike every reader. The non-sla7ehod-
ing States must leave at home, 70 till the soil
and feed the women and children the much
greater portion of the white population, while
the slaves in the Southern State cultivating the
soil permit every efficient white man to join
the ranks.
Whenever the conflict between the North
and the South shall commence it will be found
that slaveholding people are, for military re-
sources, far head of the non-slaVeholdlng
States. At any rate the Southern States will
not be in.imidated by the eighteen millions"
The "Herald' would intiuidate the South
with its threat of the terrible eighteen mil
lions" 1t says:
"When thus the official occupation Of that
CITY shall be reduced to question of physical
force between lawful rights and revolution, the
census returns Of the North and the South loo
clearly indicate tue inevitable result to be
doubted for moment. y comparative dense
white population Of some nineteen millions IN
the North, against eight millions thinlv scat
tered over the wide expanse Of the Southern
States, should warn our Southern brethren OF
the folly of wantonly provoking Northern
INVASION
Such threats are idle, and become ridiculous
when subjected to the comparison of the two
sections in the wars waged by the Republic
We would invite attention Of the Herald to the
following communication from reliable gen
tlsman in this city, and which the Herald
can verify for itself
