THOUGHTS FOR THE OLD.

Il Is weary to be odd
For the world has lost its beauty and 10
strangely drcar and cold;
And the wine of life has vanished and its
dregs alone are left
And the aged ones are lonely, as they Hnger
sore bereft.
Il is dreary to be old!
To outlive ones strength and beauty like .
story oft retold:
Times and fashions change and weary, peo-
pie grow beyond our reach;
Memory fails. and footsteps falter: slow and
stammering grows the speech.
1t is blessed to be old
For the nearer draws the city with the streets
of shining gold;
And the threads of life drop idly from the
list.ess, idle hands.
While the ears are daily listening for the keel
upon the sands.
It is blessed to be old!
For so closely lies the future with its treas
ures manifold:
There the dear ones are assembled, strangely
drawing US to come:
It is drear and lonely waiting! IL is blessed
gOing home!

BURMESE SOLDIERS.

A slovenly Array In which Soldiers Re-
fuse to be Disciplined.
With all his deficiencies, the Burmese
soldier has one advantage over disci-
plined troops. He requires no commits
sariat, and is ready for service at a few
minutes notice, q few pounds of rice
and little gnapi or fish-paste carried
on his person sufiicing for his very mod
est requirements. Not deficient in pluck.
cheerful and obedient, and patient un-
der physical hardship. it is found that
for sudden and short expeditions, to
chase rebels or to punish freebooters, he
is second to none. There were reason
able hopes, therefore, Of making him
thoroughly efficient; but in spite of
every effort, the experiment had to be
abandoned. The Burman is impractics
cable Is regards routine and disci-
pine. Drill is simply odious to him
after the novelty wears of; an incorri-
gible sloven, ne can not understand the
necessity Of keeping his arms and &C
coutrements clean and in . serriceable
condition. Marching to and fro ON sem
try is to him simply ridiculous; he can
not be reconciled to the loss Of his che
root, even when guarding a powder
magazine; and night, as he sagely re-
marks, being allotted by An all-wise
Providence az the time for sleep, he
does not understand why he should then
remain awake, even in cases where ex-
ira vigilance is required. Allowing the
widest margin, it is doubtful whether
Theebaw could collect moro than thirty
thousand muskets. One-third Of these
ere more or less arms Of precision, such
Is Remingtons and Sniders, while the
rest are of the Brown Bess" pattern,
nearly al Of which are unseryiceable,
and dangerous only to those who fire
them of. To sum up. the Burmese army
can not be relied on to deal successfully
even with filibustering enterprises, such
- that which resulted in the capture Of
Bhamo, and would be altogether power
less against disciplined troops armed
with breech-loaders. So IL the mandate
goes forth to make Upper and Lower
Burmah politically one country, Is they
are now one geographically, it might b
