Our Army Officers of the Future,

The exercises at tho West Point aca-
denny were this year, as usual of very
interesting character, and the riding was
very line. The main features of the drill
was the shooting by the troopers ON a
dead gallop at caps placed on posts and
the piercing Of rings suspended from u
bar with their broad swords, and also cut
ting and slashing at caps on low posts and
on the ground as the horses shot by them.
The saddles were taken off the horses du-
ing the drill, when the cadets rcmounted,
and, with the horses on full gallop, dashed
over several hurdles, using their broad
swords right and left as they jumped at CAPS
that were supposed to represent the heads
OF infantry soldiers.
There was no accident during the drill,
strange to say, although in the charge
upon the rings one of the horses stumbled
and would have fallen had the cadet on
his back not been good rider. A great
deal OF interest was manifested in the drill
by the spectators, who several times hear
tily applauded when cadet manifested
some particular act of skill in cutting at
the caps when the horses had been unsad-
died. The maneuyering had twos and by
single file, and the control which can he
exercised over well trained horses by
good horseman, in the matter of bringing
him to slow walk from fierce gallon or
quick trot, and which was shown by the
cadets making their horses walk, trot and
gal!op on the word of the commanding
officer, simply by the way he pulled tho
rclns, elected great deal of admiration.

The Seasons.

Among the great blessings and wonders
OF the creation, may be classed the regu-
larltles OF time and seasons. Immediately
alter the Hood the sacred promise was made
TO man, that seed-time and harvest, cold and
neat, summer ana winter, day and night
should continue to the end of all things.
Accordingly, in obedience to that promise,
the rotation is constantly presenting us
with some useful and agreeable alteration,
ana all the pleasing novelty Of life arises
from these natural changes. Nor are we
less indebted to them for many of its solid
comforts. 1t has been frequently the task
OF the moralist and poet to mark, in polish
ell periods, the particular charms and con-
Veniences of every change; and indeed,
such discriminate observations upon natu-
raj variety, cannot be undolightful since
the blessing which every month brings
along with it, is fresh instance of the
wisdom and beauty of the Providence
which regulates the glories of the year.
We glow as wo contemplate, we feel a
propensity to adore, whilst we enjoy. In
the time of seed-sowing, it is the season of
confidence, the grain which the farmer
trusts to the bosom of the earth, shall
haply yield its sevenfold reward. Spring
presents us with scene of lively expecta-
tlon; That which was before sown begins
no" to discover signs of successful yegeta-
ZION. The laborer observes the changes,
and anticipates the harvest. He watches
Tue progress ofnature and smiles at | or in.
huence; while the man of contem, lation
walks forth with the evening, umi,,st the
fragrance OF flowers, and promises of plen-
ty, nor returns to his cottage till darkness
closes the scene upon his eye. Then com
eth the harvest when the large wish is sat-
lsted, and the granaries of nature are load
cd with the means Of life, even to a luxury
Of abundance.
The powers of language are UNEQUAL to
inc description OF this happy season. 1t
Is the carnival of nature. Sun and shade.
GOODNESS and quietude, cheerfulness and
melody, love and gratitude, unite to rem
der every scene ofsummer delightful. The
division of light and darkness is one of
the kindest efforts of omnipotent wisdom.
Day and night yield us contrary blessings,
and at the same time assist each other by
giving fresh lustre to the delights of both.
Amidst the glare of day and hustle of life
now could We sleeps Amidst the gloom
OF darkness how could We labor2 How
wise, how benignant, then, is the proper
division The hours of light are adapted
to activity, and those of darkness to rest.
Ere the day is passed exercise and nature
prepare us for the pillow, and by the time
morning returns, we arc again able to meet
1T with smile. Then every season has a
charm peculiar to itself, and every moment
affords some interesting innovation

NAUTICAL SERMoN.-When Whitefield
preached before the seameu at New York,
he had the following bold apostrophe in
his sermon: "Well, my boys, we have o
clear sky, and are making fine Roadway
over smooth sea, before light breeze,
and we shall soon lose sight of land. But
what means this sudden lowering of the
heavens, and that dark cloud arising from
beneath the western horizona Hank
Don't you hear distant thunderi Don't
you see those flashes of lightning There
is a storm gathering Every man to his
duty How the waves rise, and dash
against the ship! The air is dark The
tempest RACES Our masts are gone The
ship is on her beam ends What next 2"
1t is said that the interpreting tars, re-
minded of former perils on the deep, as If
struck by the power of magic, arose with
united voices and minds, and exclaimed
"Take TO the longboatl !"

Memo Wrr.-Judge Burke. of South
Carolina, rode on horseback from circuit
to circuit, accompanied by servant, who
was directed to keep close behind him,
while he meditated as pleased himself by
the way. jogging along in this way, on
one occasion, the servant pressed up too
near the horse which he rode, an6 which
happened to be an ill-natured brute, and
the consequence was that the horse kick
ed the negro on the leg, who, observing
that it had not interrupted his masters
study, sprang off his horse, and picking up
stone threw it at the beast, which it I'M
luckily missed and took effect between the
judges shoulders.
Tho instant the negro saw what he had
done, he fell in the road with his hands
claspad around his leg, and crying out in
apparent agony; as soon as the Judge could
straighten himself he turned around and
said to the PROSTATE negro
"Stephen, child, what ails you2"
"Lor, massa," was the reply, "your horse
just now kicked me on the leg, and almost
broke it p
"Well, child" said the judge, "he Just
now kicked me between the shoulders, and
almost broke my back, too"

The Blue and the GRAY.

BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled
Where the bledes Of new grass culver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day
Under the one, the Blue:
Under the other, the Gray.
These in the robing Of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet;
Under tho sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment-Day
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence OF sorrowful hours
The dcsolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment-Day,-
Under the roses, the Blue;
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splcndor
The morning sun-rays fall,
With touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment. Day
Broidercd with gold, the Blue;
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
And when the Summer calleth,
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur, falleth
The cooling drip of the rain:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment. Day.
Wet with the ram, the Blue
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years that are fuding
No Drawer battle was won:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment. Day.
Under the Blossoms, the Blue;
Under the garlands, the Gray
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding river be red
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves Of our dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment-DHy,-
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and Love for the Gray.

CHINA.-A country where the roses have
no fragrance, and the women no petticoats;
where the laborer has no Sabbath, and the
magistrate no sense Of honor; where the
roads bear no vehicles and the ships
no kocls where the old men fly kites and
the needle points to the south, and the
sign of being puzzled is to scratch the an
tipodes of the head where the place Of
honor is on the left hand and seat Of intel.
lect is on the stomach; where to take your
hat off is an insolent gesture, and to wear
white garment is to put yourself in
mourning; which has literature without
an alphabet, and language without
grammar.
