Man has no intrinsic greatness. He
is 6uite, and weak, and poor, and per
ishlng, and can be great only by associat-
ing himself with something that's divine;
something that shall lift him up into a
nobler sphere. And, therefore, he who
knows how to cast himself upon the
stream of the divine will, that IS flowing
through time and the world, shall, by the
divine power, partake of eminenee and
glory. He who appreciates what is the
divine life, and perceives that Cod is
great by the good that he does, and is
conscious that he is conducting provi
dence on earth that aims at his own great,
ness he who sees through God in his
providence, and identifies himself with
the course of events as it il divinoly or
dered, shall take the humiiations that
belong to it now, and also the rewards
which accrue from it in the end. He
who knows how to identify himself with

greatness.

They are Sleeping.

Yes, they are sleeping, long, dream.
less sleep, from which they will never
awaken. Sleeping far away from mother
and home, far from wife and children,
from brother and sister, and the fair gen-
tie girl whose cheek has faded like the
rose when the chilling blasts of Autumn
sweep over it, waiting for the coming Of
the loved one.
Perhaps it has not been long since they
left home to go forth to battle for the
right; yet what length of time. what
an endless eternity it seems to the anx=
ious hearts at home! How eagerly they
watch the post for the coming letter, and
how disappointed they are if it fails to
arrive at the expected time. Then comes
the news Of great battle, great loss of
life, glorious victory. Eagerly they grasp
the paper, bat the words all run together
there is a mist before their eyes.
"Here, Mary, you read this" says q
mother whose son was in the battle "ny
eyes are not as good as they used to be-"
But It's not her eyes; It's the terrible
fear that is knawing at her heart, that
makes her eye,sight fail her. Mary reads
the list of the wounded. He is not there.
A sigh of relief escapes the mothers
bosom as they look down the list of tbs
killed.
"He is not there, thank God - cries
the mother, bursting into tears.
But stop! here is his name, and just
opposite the word "missing." Missing
Crawled away perhaps to some lonely
spot after being mortally wounded, to e,-
cape the searching rays of the sun. He
is left to die alone and uncared for; or,
worse still, taken captive, to languish in
some lonely prison, shut out from the
glad sunlight and life-giving sir that our
God has so beautifully provided for all,
to die, perhaps at last
Sleeping Yes, in the lonely swamps,
on the broad prairies, thousands arc
sleeping some stricken down By diseases
wasting with fever, dying, indeed, mar
tyrs to the cause they loved so well, yet
not without the consoling thought that
they have fallen bravely on the battle
field
All along the blue Potomac they are
sleeping; By pleasant streams and grand
old forests, that together chant solemn
dirges around their resting places, while
the stars keep mournful watch over theA
at night.
And they will sleep on till the last roll
call is sounded-then there will be q
grand awakening-a terrible uprising in
judgment against those traitors who, to
serve their cwn base, ambitious endsi
have brought such desolation and destruc!
tion upon our once prosperous ard beau.

OLD AND NEW STYLEs.--It is gener-
ally known that julius Caesar, about for
ty FIVE years before the Christian era, re-
formed the calendar on the basis Of the
year consisting of 365 days and 6 hours.
This was really very marvellous approach
to accuracy, considering the astronomy of
the times but 1t was not quite accurate,
as it made the year nearl Y eleven minutes
too long. The error was corrected BY
Pope Gregory XIII, in 1882, by which
time the odd minutes had accumulated
to ten days. Accordingly his Holiness
ordained that ten days should be deduct
ed from 1882, by calling what according
to the old calendar, would have Oeen
called the 9th of October the 10Th that year.
Must of the Catholic nations adopted the
reform but it was not till 1852 that the
Gregorian calendar was adopted in this
country. 1t was enacted GA Geo. IL
that eleven days should be omitted after
the I'd of September, l752, so that the
difference of the styles, which consisted
of ten days in 1882, was now eleven days.
These minutes are still accommodating
and to meet their accumulation, 1t is pro-
vded that ''the years 1890, 1900, 2l00,
22OO, or any other hundredth year Of our
Lord which shall happen in time to come,
except only every fourth hundredth year
Of our Lord, whereof the year 1000 shall
be the first, shall not be considered as
leap years" The year 1850 was not
consideted leap year; and since that time
there have been twelve days between the
old and new styles, in other words, the
18th day of January, 1863, is the CID
New Years Day.

Northern Cavalry.

The chivalry boosted of its cavalry
immodorately from the first Southern
gentleman were instructed in Eques-
frianship from youth. They possessed
all the dash and daring peculiarly nee
essary to make that arm of the service
in their hands most effective. Their
humor overfoWed at the sight of mud
still on horse back. 1t was something
SO entirely different from the graceful
and dexterous movements of the south
ern centaurs.
We of the peripatetic North were
half inclined to believe in all this brag
about horsemanship as we believed IN
may other southern fallacies.
We doubted our ability to cope with
them in the one particular of cavalry,
and even such men as Scott and McClel-
Ian were opposed to the organization of
great numbers of mounted regiments;
intimating very plainly that the expense
and time which were necessary to make
the squadrons effective were not COM
pensated in the superiority of the corps
when ready for service, and infantry
was more essential and better adapted
to the character of the men composing
the army.
Time has exploded all this, with a
great many similar notions, and among
the latter lessons of the war is this most
conspicuous one that the Northern
riders are unequalled in dash, and far
superior in persistent valor. The few
raids of the earlier cavaliers of Rebel
dom, in which they swooped down upon
few hen roosts and paid the frighten-
ed innkeepers along the deserted roads
for their whiskey in Confederate scrip /;
the desperate suicide of the Black
Horse cavalry, and the would-be chiv-
alrous adventures of Morgan have all
been cast in the shade by the splendid
achievements of northern regiments. -
Grierson and Stoneman have ridden
through the length of their land. Other
regiments have met them in hand to
hand conflict and driven them from the
field. The Fifth Illinois cavalry at
Mechanicsburg rode completely over
them, Stuarts cavalry has found our
mounted hnudsills an inyicible foe.
General Hooker has perfected the or
ganization of this important arm Of
the service, and the important victory
gained at Aide on Wednesday of last
week, was in itself sufficient TO estab-
lish not only the usefulness, but the
efficiency of the Northern cavalry.
It has takan us some time to learn
how effective we are. The war is teach
ing us a grand lesson as we'll as the
South.-,Spirtt Of the Vest.
