strength and fitness.

Even the bravery OF our young men is
called in question by some writers.
There is no reason whatever for such an
asseveration. Young men of different
races, as a general rule, are about the
same in this respect; towards are au ex-
ception.
never have any fear of q regiment
made up of young men, white or black,
who are born and bred in this country;
II their officers have reasonable courage
aud good sense, their men Will go where
they will lead.
With regard TO drunkenness and
immortality charged against soldiers, l
have seen no signs Of 1t to any extent in
our national guard. There is some wine
drinking at the festivals of the officer,
but do not think that there is any more
of wine drinking among military men
than among the other social orgauiZa-
tons which have CHANGED to observe.
Drinking Is a bad Thing; it Is always q
hindrance in any company, regiment or
brigade. \ head clear of all confusion,
able to take in the situation, give the
proper commands, and exact the proper
obedience to orders, is much the best
head for anything touching military life.
Drunken leaders, drunken engineers,
drunken artillerymeu or drunken caval-
rymen bring only confusion and loss. II
is as necessary TO be free from all the ex-
element and depression OF strong drink
in the army as elsewhere.
In the regular army few. very few
officers and soldiers, who occasionally
become intoxicated, being seen by null
titudes OF our fellow citizens, bring dis
grace upon the uniform, but the major
ity are as well behaved and as sober men
as those are with whom they have to do
in civil life.
1t is O great mistake TO iInpu.e drunk
enness or immortality to a man because
he is an American soldier. We have
tried hard to be rid of all such blots upon
our escutcheon.

copyrighted 1890, by the Author.
Is it true, as Foreigners freely assert
concerning us. that the regiments of our
cities that mako up our National Guard,
are composed to great extent, of those
young men who would be incompetent to
act in case of peril? 1t is further assert
ed that they chiefly join regiments for
social purposes and for the recreation
given them during their summer vaca-
ton in camp life and in city parades.
Can this be so?
In answer to the first question, the
writer having had a wide experience, as
serts without hesitation that the declar-
alton is not far. There are doubtless
some young men who would not prove
hardy enough in case Of action or con-
tinued exposure, such as lively cam
paign would bring upon them, but some
of the weakest in constitution are ardent
and ambitious.
Two regiments with which l am well
acquainted, IN the CITY of New York, are
filled with vigorous and hearty youth,
most of whom represent good American
families OF good social position, and they
are as competent physically. mentally,
and morally Us any of the volunteers
which at the time OF the war of rebellion
belonged to the same organization. Then
they sprang into service upon the shortest
notice, marching to Washington, and
were on hand for defensive or offensive
operations, according to the desire of the
president or Gen. Scott.
remember distinctly beautiful New
York regiment (having at that time a
fancy uuiform) that encamped not far
from my own. The first few days of
June, 1861. the colonel sat with me on
the first court martial that he and at
tended at Washington. He was after
ward ordered with his regiment to Gen.
eral Patterson in Western Virginia,
while mine went with other regiments to
the first battle of Bull Run. Out Of that
regiment came majors, generals, briga-
diers, colonies, and officers of every
grade, as they came from the regular
army to officer new regiments, and to
have large leaveuing influence in max
ing up vigorous army to NEE: and with
stand the solid forces embraced In the
confederate army of Northern Virginia.
True, / have taken but two regiments
ms samples, but from observation OF oh.
ers there 10 no reason to believe the
young men to be incompetent. Surely
they are not so physically. in any regl-
ment from New York, PhiladelphIe,
Boston or other city whose ranks were
carefully observed as they passed in re-
view last centennial day on Broadway,
and if any are incompetent physically,
surely they ara not drinking men, and
why should We suspect them to be NOR
ally inferior to their gallant fathers, who
never besitsted even to carry the rife
aud the cartridge box at the time of the
nation q greatest peril?

'What have you tfere,''
'Doan know, sieur, said Dick, with

"Let me see?''
Dick took the pieces of cardboard out

glanced at them FIRST curiously and then

MEDITATION.

What shall do with this sad life OF mine,
That stretches far into unbrokcn PAGER
What shall do with this ambitious burn.
That paints Scarlet Letter" on my face!
II circumstances would around me weave,
The way. the means, to carry out my plans;
There would not be in ali this broad expsnse
a heart more true unto his fellow-mau.
Is fate unkind to parcel out her giftsf
And give to some more than to others fall,
Or Is it we who chisel out that fate
And climb 70 glory or to sorrow fall?
We are but atoms on a soundless sea,
Ely winds Of circumstances blown about
Some riding on the crest of fortunes waves.
Again. some sink whose hearts are not so stout
look out all alone into the midst Of space
And pray for faith, for courage and sweet rest.
That may reach the goal .Wheref9ad ambitiol
And Lsss issss fain the quest.

One more question: What are the
real qualifications for q military life?
They do not differ from the qualifica-
tious essential to any sort of outdoor
work. We have over COO 900 men on
our railroads; they are under the best
possible discipline; never did an army
obey with more promptitude than does
the railway subordinate. ! can conceive
of no better fitting for all the hard
work of an active campaign than that Of
the great mass of railrond workiugmen,
from conductors to switchmrn, from the
mechanics to the constructors and re-
puirers OF the track.
Notice again the vast armies of men
working in the mines-coal, copper,
iron. gold, silver, and go on. Their
muscles have developed, they are capa-
BILE OF endurance, and they are we'll
fitted for q hardy life, for such is their
own.
We found many regiments during the
war made up of men who we're accus-
toned to too great Irregularities in their
eating and sleeping, always having had
three meals q day and always sleeping IN
bed at night. These men were not, il
l may so speak, acclimated to their new
life when they came into camp or de-
voted themselves to tho activities Of
military campaign. Many of them be-
came i'll aud were particularly open to
prevailing diseases; II anybody had the
measles, they were the first to catch
them; pneumonia and typhoid fever
often tripped then, up. But city men,
who were accustomed to all sorts OF
Irregularities as to sleeping and dieting,
did much better. Western men, who iu
planting new farms had been called to
endure ell things IN the way Of priva-

Near Charlotte gold mining is
