View from Lookout Mountain.

The view from the mountain at this point
is exceedingly interestngr Away off to the
south east, 10 miles distant. can be distinctly
seen the farm houses that nestle in the
forests around Atlanta tall spires of the
churche. and public buildings, and the for,
ifcations that guard the approaches to the
Gate City, Stretching away to the south
the eye bchoids vast forest. dotted by IN.
Vulnerable plantations and villages. Near.
err. almost at The base of the mountain. the
serpentine liver can be seen through the
growth of trees that line its banks. while the
military, State and private roads to the east
and south remind the beholder of huge
spider S web. so numerous are they, and
forming so many angles.
Capt. Messenger and Lieut.. Burton OF
Gen. Towards staff have opened sigma
station here, and daily take observations OF
the country around them, which, to the
south east and south west, is quite level.
but on other points of the compass quite
mountainous, and broken by ravines and
ridges.
The curiosity Of the troops to see Atlanta
was so strong that siragglers left their regi-
ments and climbed the side from which they
viewed the Promised Land, to which they
are "piIgrimaging. Many of the poor
fellows, ! fear, will never live to obtain Il
nearer view, MS Il desperate defense will be
made ere Johnston evacuates it for another
position, and by guaranteeing it, open the
doors for greater Federal success beyond
aud on either side.

THE CAVALRY HORSE.

The cavalry horse is quite as familiar with
the long lists of varying trumpet signals as
the rider himself: he stops instantly when
the signal for hating is sounded; passes
from walk to trot, from trot to a gal
lop, without requiring any reminder from
spur or rein. If his rider fall in battle, or
lose his stirrups, he stops in moment, and
waits for him if he remain lying on the
gronnd, he stoops his head, smells at him.
and when he ascertains that there is no hope
o. his remounting, makes his way back to
his troop, wedges himself in his place in the
ranks. and shares afterwards in the move
ments Of the rest. Music has an amazing
influence upon him. IF an air be suddenly
struck up, you will see the WORKOUT and
MORALLY tired horse raise his sick head,
prick up his ears, become animated, and
move brisky forward to the front.
During halt. or when quartered for the
night, the cavalry division, stretched out on
the ground, lies confusedly together a jun.
bled mass, which it would be impossible to
disentangle man and horse side by side,
the rider using the horse as a pillow. or
rolling himself beside it to shield himself
from the cold, the faithful creature seldom
changing the position it has once taken. II
it do so, it is with the greatest precaution
first it moves its head and legs, endeavoring
gently to free itself; then it raises or turns
itself very slowly and carefully, so as not to
trampe upon or disturb those who surround
it. If the halt take place when the ground
is wet or frozen, the rider will gladly force
his horse to one side after it has lain down
awhile, which by that time is warm, if no,
dry,
The most affectionate relationship subssts
between man and horse, as the result Of
their thus living together. The animal
seems to understand everything connected
with his rider, he knows his masters step,
his peculiar ways knows. how to seek him
out from among others is faithful. disin.
terested companion and friend to him, and
has this advantage over many other good
comrades that he does not grow weary even
of suffering for him.

Women in Adversity.

Women should be more trusted and CON
iided in as wives, mothers, and sisters. =
they have quick perception Of right and
wrong, and without always knowing why,
read the present and future. read character
and acts, designs and probabilities, where
man sees no letter or sign. What else do
we mean by the adage mother wit" save
that woman has quicker perception and
reader invention than man? How often,
when man abandons the helm in despair.
woman seizes it and carries the home ship
through the storm! Man often flies from
home and iamil. to avoid impending poverty
or ruin, Woman never evaded mere tenn
poral calamity by suicide Or desertion. The
proud banker, rather than live to see his
poverty gazctted, may blow out his brains
and leave wife and children to want, protec-
torless. Loving woman would have coun
seied hun to accept poverty, and live to
cherish his family and retrieve his fo.,ne.
Woman should be counceled and confded
in. 1t is the beauty and glory Of her nature
that instinctvely gtasps and clings to the
truth and right. Reason, mans greatest
faculty, takes time to hesitate before it de-
cides but woman instinct never hesiates
in its decision, and is scarcely ever wrong
where it has even chances with reason
Woman feels where man thinks. acts where
he deliberates. hopes where he despairs, and
triumphs where he fails.

ABOUT GREAT MEN AND BOYS.

Among the mountains Of California stand
some of the most wonderful trees ever dis.
covered. They tower up more than three
hundred feet, or taller than the highest stee.
pie in this country. There they stood hun.
dreds of years ago before civilized man ever
saw them. But they were just as grand
while alone in the solitude of the unbroken
wilderness, when only visited by the winds,
the wild beasts and birds and the equally
wild Indians, as they are now, when travel
ers flock to admire their stateiness. SO all
truly great men possess the same nobleness
of nature before, that they do after the
world has discovered, acknowledged, and
applauded it. Those who long for oppor-
tunities of becoming great, forget that great
ness is in the man, not in the opportunity.
The opportunity only gives occasion for
greatness to exhibit itself. Washington pos
sessed the same high qualities when he told
the truth and loved his mother as when he
over the councils Of the nation. A man may
be great, though circumstances confne him
to a narrow sphere, just as ray Of light is
as pure, as cheerful, and as much the child
of the sun when shining in rude hovel, as
when flashing from the mirrors of palace.
Goodness, courage. devotion, manliness,
patience, perseverance. and love, will make
a boy great though he live on the most Sc.
cluded farm in the back woods. There arc
thousands Of such boys-many of them will
read these words written for their encourage
mcnt. The day may come when their noble
qualities will be wanted in the public service,
and all men see and acknowledge their worth.
But if not they are still rich in enduring
wealth. and let them remember also, that
lltc only begins in this life.

Lettice white.
BY JEAN ISGELOW.

Ny ncighbor White; we met to-day,
Ne always had cheerful way,
As if he breathcd AT ease;
Nv neighbor White lives down the glade,
And live higher, in the shade
Of my old walnut trees.
SO many lads and lassics small,
70 feed them all to cloth them all,
Must surely tax his wit
/ see his thatch when look out,
His branching roses creep about
And vines half smother it.
There white haired urchins climbed his cave
And little watch fires heap with leaves,
And milky lilbert's heard
And there his Oldest daughter stands
With downcast eyes and skillful hands,
Before her ironing board.
She comforts all her mothers days,
And with her sweet obedient ways
She makes her labor light;
SO sweet to hear. so fair to see!
O, she is much too good for me,
That lovely Lctticc White.
lis hard to feel ones self fool!
With that same lass went to school;
| then was great and wise
She read upon an easier book,
And IL never cared to look
Into her shy blue eyes.
And now know they must be there,
Sweet eyes, behind those lashes fair
That will not raise their rim
If maids be shy, he cures who can,
But if a man be shy-a man
Why then the worse for him
Ny mother cries: "For such lad
A wife is easy to be had,
And always to be found ;
A finer scholar scarce can be,
And for foot and leg says she
.'He beats the country round
"My handsome boy must stoop his head
To clear her door whom he would we'd
Weak praise but fondly sung
so mother, scholars sometimes fail
And what can foot or leg avail
To him that wants u tongue
When by her ironing board | sit,
Her little sisters round me fit
And bring me forth their store,
Dark cluster grapes of dusty blue,
And small sweet apples bright of hue,
And crimson to the core.
But she abideth silent. fair,
And shaded with her Aaxen hair,
The bushes come and go
I look, and no more can speak
Than the red sun that on her cheek
Smiles as he licth low.
Sometimes the roses by the latch,
Or scarlet vine leaves from the thatch
Come sailing down like birds:
When from their drifts her board | clear
She thanks me, but | scarce can hear
The shyly uttered words.
Oft have I wooed sweet Lcttire White,
BY daylight and by candlelight,
When we two were apart.
Some better dav come on apace,
And let me tell her face to face
Maiden thou hast my heart
How gently rock yon popars high
Against the reach of primrose sky
With heavens pale candles stored
She secs them all sweet Lcttce White;
III e en- 90 sit again tonight
Beside her ironing board.
