To one not familiar with a cavalry
night march in the face of the enemy it
may be difficult to comprehend why it
should differ materially from an advance
by daylight, but to those who have had
some experience it is easily understood.
On n night march, in order to guard
against surprise, flankers are thrown out
on either side, who are supposed to keep
abreast of the advance guard. These
fankers are under the supervision of the
officer in charge of the advance, and no
matter how dark the night is he must
keep them sufficiently deployed to pro-
tect the column, and yet always have
them well in hand. These flankers en-
counter all sorts Of obstacles, such as
bitches, r~avines, fences, underbrush,
woods, etc, and necessarily make slow
progress. The time thus occupied COM
pels the main body in the rear to make
innumerable stops and starts, which are
not only tedious and wearying but n
noying and irksome, and hard upon the
horses, often causing the men to grow
impatient and the officers to become ir-
itable.-Capt. w E. Miller in PhiIadel-
nhia Press.

THE SOLITARY. -

/ am English by birth; I had neither
brothers nor sisters; my mother died
when l was in the cradle, and / found
my sole companion, tutor, and playmate
in my father. He was q younger brother
of a noble and ancient house. What in
duced him to forsake his country and his
friends, to abjure all society, and to live
on a rock, is a story in itself, which has
nothing to do with mine.
As the Lord liveth, l believe The tale
that l shall tell you will have sufficient
claim on your attention, without calling
in the history of another to preface its
most exquisite details.
My father was addicted to the sciences
the physical sciences-and possessed
but a moderate share Of learning in any,
thing else. He taught me all he knew,
and the rest Of my education nature, in
a savage and stern guise, instilled in my
heart by silent but deep lessons. She
taught my feet to bound and my arm to
smite; she breathed life into my passions,
and shed darkness over my temper;
she taught me to cling to her, ever
in the most rugged and unalluring form,
and to shrink from all else-from the
companionship of man, and the soft
smile of woman, and the shrill voice OF
childhood, and the ties, and hopes, and
socialities, and objects of human exist
ence-as from a torture and a curse.
Even on that sullen rock, and beneath
that ungenial sky, 1 had luxuries un-
known to the palled tastes of cities, OF
to those who WOO delight in an air Of
odors and in a land Of roses. What were
those luxuries7 They had a myriad Of
varieties and shades of enjoyment; they
had but a common name. What were
those luxuries? Solitudei
Ny father died when / was 10; l was
transferred to my uncle's protection, and
i repaired to London. l arrived there
gaunt and stern, a giant in limbs and
strength, and to the tastes of those about
me, a savage in bearing and in mood.
They would have laughed, but / awed
them; they would have altered me, but !
changed them; l threw a damp over
their enjoyment and a cloud over their
meetings. Though 1 said little. though
1 sat with them ~estranged, and silent,
and passive, they seemed to wither
beneath my presence. Nobody could
live with me, and be happy, or at ease.
I felt it, and l hated them that they could
not love me. Three years passed. / wa
of age. l demanded my fortune, and,
scorning social life and pining once mole
for loneliness, l resolved to journey into
those unpeopled and far lands which, il
any have pierced, one have returned to
describe. So I took my leave of them
all, cousin and aunt, and when I came to
my old uncle, who had liked me less than
any, l grasped his hand with so fI
a grip that, well l ween, the dai

ing, who has no association with his
youth or heyday, and no "reminiscences
in common. Somebody, indeed, once
remarked 10 Mr.. Edgeworth that 'no-
body but fool would venture to make
his first speech in parliament or marry
after fifty" Both of which things Mr.
Edgeworth committed, if we mistake not
But there seems to be no legitimate rea-
son why a man or woman should not
marry after fifty, or why they should
seem ridiculous in so doing, other things
being equal. Why should not one be as
capable of love at fifty as at twenty.6ve9 2
Has one age a monopoly of love over
another? May not one love better at
fifty than younger, with larger nature,
enriched by thought and experience,
deepened by failure or success? The
love of twenty five may be but fleeting
surface passion beside this other-a mere
sham ard glamour. subject to change
and chance, which the next pair of vel
vet eyes may dispel. Balzac says that
men are most dangerous TO women after
fifty; that is, their powers have ripe"e !
and mellowed, and they have learned
better how to employ them; love is an
idea! to them, aud not a pastime; they
have discovered what qualities they pre-
fer, what of attractions are durable and
independent of age or circumstance

A New Cereal.

a New Jersey farmer can claim the
glory of having brought into existence a
cereal which may prove of incalculable
value to the race. He has succeeded in
making d cross between the wheat and
rye plants. The propagation organs of
the former are so guarded by nature that
no other cereal can ilnpregnate it. But
this Jcrscyman by removing the male Or
gans from the wheat, and exposing the
seed has succeeded in fertilizing it from
Pollen from the rye plant, These ex-
periments have continued for several
years, and this spring there will be plant
ed probably a hundred of these hybri-
died seed, which ought to produce over
five thousand seed in the fall. Of course
all agriculturists are aware of the i'm
mense importance of new cereal that
would combine the qualities of the wheat
aud rye plants. But it may be necessary
to explain to those who are not farmers
what some Of these are. Rye can grow
in poorer soil, and natures quicker than
wheat. Good crops of it are raised on
soils which have been impoverished by
wheat growing. This is true of three
fourths of the arabic soil of the United
States. This new hybrid, if extensively
grown, would give us an immense advan-
tage over the rest of the world, for it
could be raised almost anywhere in the
United States, and so cheaply that we
could undersel the world. Of course
this is assuming that the seed would
make almost as good -four as wheat and
that it would be as easy to raise as rye.
1t is surprising that more attempts have
not been made to improve the products
of the soil. Is it not possible that more
weeds (iur wheat and rye were once
weeds) could be utilized by the inventions
and labors of man? What wonders have
been accomplished in the way of the inn
provements in fruits! Experiments ere
now making with Ramie grass which
may get give us cloth almost as cheap
as cotton. while as durable and beautiful

General officers, corps AID army COM
manders, these are pictured as speaking
words of encouragement 10 their waver'
ing troops, which clearly heard above
the awful roar of pitched battle, caused
the men to nerve themselves for supreme
efforts, and they won the fight. These
childish tales are probably a rehash of
the mythical military legends of the
Napoleonic era. The great Corsican
statesman and military genius was ever
represented as talking to an army of from
10000 to 100000 men. Then, too,
Wellington is said TO have b!atted "Up
guards, and at them" to his troops Gu

battle is terrific, and one human voice
could not make itself heard for any
great distance. Suppose a battle is in

artillery Is III action. So!la shot ana
three inch bolts fly screaming through
