May ID, 1867.

One of the most beautiful actresses of the
Bouevards, Paris, received daily, for about
month, little penny in the box or with tho
door keeper every evening as the play was
about to begin, and this simple oflerin. of an
unknown love affected her in spite of herself.
While acting; she looked carefully around
at the boxes, the parquctt. and even behind
tho scencs-bnt to no purpose; she saw moth.
ing by which to recognize the man OF bou.
qucts And thcreupon she gave her imagi-
free rein, and the Imagination of an actress
is very similar to that of other folks.
Was ho a foreign Prince, who wished to
captiy1to her heart before placing at her feet
his crown and treasures Z? Or was he an ar,
tist. 90 bashful to declare his passion
She nterrogated tho box keeper, the tier
woman--in short, everybody employed IN the
theatre but nobody knew anything aboutit
Still tho bouquets came
" Do they tell us that constancy is chime
| ra T. murnurcd she.
One evening, as sho cntcrcd the theatre.
shc received a fresh bouquet Of flowers, and
this time the flowers were accompanied by q
letter. {" At last !" she said, and opening it
by the light of tho reflector, she read as fol.
lows:
Madcmoisclc,-I have loved you for a
long time; for is not boholding and loving
you the same thing? Every day como to
admire you, to applaud you, to delight myself
with the brightness Of your eyes and the
charm Of your voice.
He must then be i'll the house," thought
the actress. and she pccped through hole in
the curtain The audience had Just CON.
mcnccd to assemble She resumed the read.
| ing:
| "Of your voico. You arc indeed bcant.
full and charming, and happy arc they who
! may approach you. What would not give
to be near you always? Would the treasures
OF all the world be worth one of your smiles |?
No."
"Ah, that is nice p she sighed and turn
ing the pnge, she continued
No! And yet dare to love you-to tell
you that love you still moro. venture to
beg you not to reject my homage"
" He begins to explain HIMSELF" said she
to herself, "and | shall know'-and she con-
tinucd-" my homage. If this expression of
my love does not offend you, place. this bou-
Quet of voets in your bosom Oh! then /

West Point.

The most striking incident of the first day of
the annual examination at West Point was the
unexpected arrival Of General Grant 1t hap
PLY illustrated the characteristic modesty with
which this great Genera! avoids notoriety and
display. At the same tine it furnished proof,
if proof were wanting, Of the deep interest
which General Grant takes in the national
nursery of future Grants and Shermans and
Sheridans at West Point. 1t is not too much
to expect that the experiences of West Point
graduates during the recent war will enable
them to encourage and aid the learned faculty
and the students of the Academy in all efforts
to raise the standard of education and disci-
pline, TO effect certain reforms demanded by the
progressive spirit of the age, and to strengthen
whatever is excellent in the established system.
studies might not in 'erfere at all with the
severe mathematical toll exacted at West Point.
The graduates who served with such distinc
ton during the late war might have fought and
engineered no better for it, but 1t would GER
tainly have improved the style of some Of their
reports, and it would have placed them, in
point of general intellectual culture, more upon
IN equality with those highly educated officers
Of European armies who are foremost in &C.
knowledging their thorough technical know
ledge and their high rank as efficient, practical
soldiers. The world has recognized the mill
tary genius exhibited by not o few Of the West
Point graduates.
