TIE UECTB.UXT8 LEKS9X. Some five years ago I was a lieutenant in a mart-hiii" regiment, and quartered in a large garrison-town in England, ifv duties eonsihtcd of the Ustial round of morning and aftvrtoon parades, vi&itTnir the men's dinners and teas, and other regular work. In addition to this, wc had occasionally to mount guard, and If pass twenty-tonr hours in a sort ot halfe imprisonment. ft is one of the regulations of the ser vice that when officers or trien Vrc on guard they should always be in a .-lute nr.i.ii;iu'.u .. r..n :.. ' nn .....wi.. vi liHumvi'n iw iiia n p.t.tnt 4k . moment's notice. If you feel very sleepy, and deoirc rerti von must take it whilst 3-011 arc buttoned up to the throat, and stripped down at (lie heels; a lounge 111 an arm-chair, or proliably a little hori zontal refreshment upon n sofa, are the extent of rest which an Oflicer on guard is supposed to indulge in. Among my brother-subalterns in gar rison, it was our usual practice to infringe upon this strict letter of the law; and when the principal part of our duty had been accoinpli:-hed, we used to indulge ourselves by divesting our limbs of their armor, and seeking refreshment between the sheets of a little camp-bed that was placed in the inncrgnnrd-room. It was part of the duties of an oflicer on guard to vi-it all the sentries during night, the time for visiting them being UMially an hour or so after the tield-ofli- cer had visited the guard the held-oni-cer being a colonel or major who was on duty for the day, and who came once by day and once by night to v.isit the guard., ami to sec that all was as it should be. There was no exact limit to the number of times that this field officer might vi-h the guards, but it was the usual tiling, and had become almost a custom, fur hi in to come onco by day and once by night, so that after the last visit the subaltern usimlly waited an hour or so, walked round the limits of bis post, visited all his sentries, and then turned into bed. It was on a bitter cold morning in Januarvthat my turn for guard came on. I marcned my men to their pot, relieved the old guard, and then, having gone through the regular duty and diued, en deavored to pass the time until the field- officer bad visited me. -The previous evening I had been utab.il I in the town, md in consequence was verv tired and sleepy, and looked with considerable longing to the period when I could re frresh Inyself by unrobing aud enjoying a good snooze. At length 1 heard the welcome chal lenge : " Who comes there ? " which was by the response, "Konnds!" "What rounds ? " " (irand rounds ! " and "Guard turn out!" was a signal which I willing ly obeved, for 1 knew that in about one hour afterwards I should be in the arms of the god of sleep. Slipping on my cloak and cap, and grasping mv sword, I placed mvself in front of the guard, and received the field- officer, who brief v asked me if all was cor reel, directed me to dismiss mv guard and rodo off without saving " Good-night," a proceeding that 1 thought rather formal. Giving directions to the sergeant to call me in an hour, for the purpose of visiting the sentries, I throw myself into my arm-chair, aud tried to read a novel. The time passed very quickly, as I had a nap or two, and the sergeant soon ap peared with a lantern to conduct me round the sentries. It was a terrible night, the wind blow ing hard, whilst the snow and sleet were driving along before it. Tho thermome ter was soveral degrees blow freezing, and I felt that I deserved much from my country for performing so consicentiou ly my arduous duties. The sentries were very'much scattered, and I had to walk nearly two miles to visit them all. I ac complished my task, however, and re turned to the guard-room, where I treat ed myself to'a stiff glass of grog, aud throwing off my regimentals, 1 jumped into bed"; feeling that I really deserved the Iuxurv. In a few minutes I was fast asleep, not even dreaming ot any crmy fair partners of the ball, but sound asleep. Suddely I became conscious of a great noise, which sounded like a drum being beaten. At first I did not realize my position, and could not remember where I was but at last it flashed across me that I was on guard, aud something was the matter. Jumping out of bed, 1 tailed to know who was there. The sergeant answered in a great hur ry, sayinje. " Sir. riebl-ofticer of the dar la MMini. sn.l ,1... ....I !. ....t.. .. ..... ..w....., ,iu ttiv gunxu in turning uuu I rushed to tny boots, pulled them on over my unrtockinged feet j thrust my sword-arm into my lame rririnenkal cloak, which I pulled over at i tanned my forage-cap on my head, and grasping my sword, looked to the outward observ er as though " fit for parade." I was jastjn time to receive the field I oncer, who again asked ne ii my guard was correct. I answered, rather in a tone of surprise, and said, " Yes, sir, all correct." 1 could not imagine why my guard shoilld be visited twice, as such u proceeding was very unusual, and per linris my tone semcetl to imply that I was surprised. Whether it was that, or wheth er a treacherous gust of wind removed the folds of my cloak, and exhibited the slightest taste in life of the end of my night-shirt, I know not; but the field-officer, instead of riding off when he re ceived my answer, turned his horse's bead in tfic opposite direction, and said, "XoWj sir, I want you to accompany me round the sentries." Had he told me that he wanted me to to accompany him to the regions below, 1 should scarce have been moiw'horror struck, for already I had found the change ofleinpcraturc between a warm bed in a room and the-outside air; aud to walk two miles on a windy, frosty night, with no raiment besides limits, night-shirt, and cloak, was real! v suffering for one's country, and no mistake. 1 dared not show the slightest hesitation, however, for fear the Mate of my attire might be suspected, though I would have given a week's pay to have ccaned for onlj" five minutes. A non-commissioned offi cer was readv with a lantern, and we started on our tour of inspection Tho field-officer akei soveral questions connected with the position and duties ie, to which I gave answers ot the seutrie as well a tlu chattering of my teeth would permit inc. 1 nc most nervous u...L fwkttiii- wo. n.ilife tin iriiK- nuiai ....., ..... ... .-...,- ..... y.. lumps which were placet at intervals oi one or two :iu.i ire i iini. tin: wnm was blowing so fresh th.it it was with difficulty 1 could hold mv cloak around me, and conceal the absence of my un-dcr-gannents. Every now and then an extra gust ot wind would come round a corner, and quite defeat all the prcau tions which 1 had adopted to encounter the steady gale. I managed to dodge in the shade as much as possible, and more than once ran tho risk of- being kicked bv the field-officer's horse, as I slunk be hind him when the gas-light might have revealed too much. It was terribly cold, to be sure, the wind and snow almost numbing my limbs. had a kind of faint hope that the field officer might think tiiat I belonged to a Highland regiment., and il he did observe the scantiness of my attire, might believe that the kilt would explain it. I strug gled and shivered on, knowing that all things must have an end, nod that my "rounds" must come to an end before long. Hut I feared that I should not again get warm during the night. We had nearly completed ourtour, and were within a low hundred yards of the guard-room, when we passed tho field-of ficers' quarters. I fondly hoped that he -.voitM not pass them, and that he would dismiss meat the door, but 1 was rather mrnriscd to :-ce a blaze of light come the windows, and to hear tho sound of music. It was evident mat mere was a hop " going on inside, and I already began to tremble, from a sort ot instinct that even wor.se misfortunes were yet to attend me. Mv premonitions were true, for upon reaching bis door, my persecutor, in quite a cheerful tone, said, " Well, we've had a cold tour; you must now come in and take a glass of wine, and perhaps a waltz will warm vou. I'm really much obliged." I hastilv answered, " but I should not like to leave mv L'tianl. "Nonsense, nonsense, man; the guard n-ill he all riiht: vou must come in. This " must " lie said iti quite a determ ined tone. I felt desierate, and again declared that I thought I should be wrong to leave mv gaard. ""I'll take the responsibility," said the demon ; "so come along " ; saying which, he grasped my arm, and almost dragged me into the (torch of his quarters. When we entered the house, and were exposed to the light of the halMamps, 1 fancied I saw a slight twinkle in the eye of the officer, and began to wonder wheth er lie really knew of my predicament ami wished to'havc bis joke. He, however, rave no other intimations that I saw,but quickly took otf his cloak, and said that 1 had better do the same. Seeing me hesitate, he said, "tome, look alive: of! with it." Further remonstrance, I found, would be useless, so that there was no help for me but a liilrconlession. hummoning my courage. and tearing io iicmuuc, i oiun- ed out. "Colonel, 1 ve no trousers on. - . . . .. "The deuce you haven't!" he said. " Well, you'd better go and put them on, and then come here as soon as possi ble aud have a glass of something warm." I rushed out of hi iiuarters, half de termined nit to return. I was fully awake now, and shivered like a half- drowned dog; but no sooner had I dress ed mvself than the colonelV servant came ovcr'to say that a quadrille was waiting for me. I determined to put a bold face on the matter, aud entered the drawing-room, where a arty of about fifty had assem bled. It was evident by the titters ol the young ladies the grins of the men; and the s-nbducd smiles of the dowagers, that my story was known. The colonel had told it as a good joke to the major, who had whijiered it to his wife; she had breathed it into the ear of two of her friends, and in about ten minutes every person in the room knew that young subaltern had unwillingly gone his rounds in bis nigbt-shirt. As long as 1 staj-od in that garrison I was a standing joke. When the girl saw ne they alwava looked away and smiled, and h teenec, as impossible for ne to obtain a rims answer from aay of then as for a clown to pmtch a acrnon. Tfcey even seemed afraid to dance with ne, fearing, as I afterward heard, to look at y legs "" I ni'ght be dificient in kn article of raiment. I aoow exekaaged aad weat into another rrgineat, aad yean afterwards heard ny owl adt- ture related in a crowded room, aii we details of the atory being true except the name of the perforntdr-my' misfortune" having been attributed to an uufortuate fellow who died in India. I never went to bed on guard aflCF that night. A teatlt imtricii remit Strange was the contrast between hu man poverty and natural wealth. Wc were on the borders of a virgin forest. and the over-powering beauty of vegeta tion Boon erased all memory of the squl or and lifelessness of La Mona. Our road a mere path suddenly entered this seemingly impenetrable forest, where the branches crosses overhead, producing a delightful shade. The curious forms ot tropical lire were, all attractive to one who Baa recently rambled ovwrtheconiDara- tively bleak hills of Xew England. De light is a weak term to express the feel ings oi a naturalist who for the first time wanders in a South American torcst. The superb banana, the great charm of equa torial vegetation, tossed out luxuriantly its l'lossv preen leaves, eiirht f.-.-t in length ; the slender but graceful bamboo shot heavenward, straight as an arrow: and many species of palm bore aloft their leathery heads, inexpressibly light and elegant. Un the branches ot the Hide iiendeut trees sat tufts of parasites, man v of them orchids, which are here epiphy tal ; and countless creeping plants, whose long flexible stems entwined siinkc-Iikc around the trunks, or formed giganli loo; is aud coils among the limbs. .Be neath this world of foliage above, thick beds of mimosa- covered the ground, and a iiouimiess variety ot terns attracted the eye by their beautiful patterns. It is easy to specify the individual objects ol admiration in these grand sconc-s hut it is not possible to give an adequate nle.i of the higher feelings of wonder, astoii- ishnent and devotion which fill and ele vate the mind. This road to the Andes is a paradise to the contemplative man. "there is something hi a tropical tor est, says Kates, " akin to the ocean in its effect on the mind. .Man feci so com pletcly his insignificance and tho vastness ot nature." The German traveler Uur meister observes that "the contempla tion of a Brazilian forest produced on him a painful impression, on account o: the vegetation displaying a.spirit ot rest less selfishness, eager emulation and craftiness." He thought the softness earnestness and repose of European woodland scenery were far more pleas ing aud that these formed one of the causes of 'the superior moral character of European nations. Live and let liv is not the maxim taught in these tropical forests, and it is equally clear that sel fishness is not wanting among the peo ple. I fere, in view of so much competi tion among organized beings, is the spot to s uily Darwin's Origin of Species." We have thought that the vcgctati-Mi un der the equator was a fitter emlili'l'i ot the human world than the forests of our temperate zone. There is here no set time for decay and death, but wc stand amid the living and the dead; flowers aud leaves are falling, while fresh ones are bounding into life. Then, too, the numerous parasitic plants using of their neighbors as instruments for their own advancement, inaptly represent a cer tain human cluSi Andes and Amazon. . The KnzKrer aad the Qaeea. The cable reports that Napoleon, the ex-Emperor of France, yesterday visited Queen Victoria at Winsdor Castle. It is not likely that the details of the inter view will ever be made public. The " in terviewing" reporter who would attempt to be present at the scene wonld proba bly get no nearer than the outside wall of the castle. His easy, however, to imagine that the visit must have been a rather exciting incident to both the hostess and her guest. Napoleon can not forget his last visit to Knglaud nearly a score of years ago, vvher. he had just made himself master of France by an act of wholesale murder, when he was welcomed to London by obsequious officials and by the acclamations of ai-u riousand not unfriendly multitude. Then he received the freedom of the citv of Loudon. At Windsor Castle he was made a Knight of the Order of the Gar ter ai d was welcomed : the Icadlu- man of EnroiH! aud the head of the most pow erful continental nation. This, indeed, was the first of the many personal tri umphs which this remarkable adventure was destined to enjoy. A few years Inter, Queen Victoria re turned his viit, and I'aris welcomed ti mid dazzling festivities the monarch of England. The example of the Queen ras soon followed; aud the Saltan of Turkey, the King of I'rnsisn and the Czar of I(iis.ia were in turn tiie guest of Napoleon. The minor kmg and princeling of Europe flocked t liri-, to liebold the glories oi he UCw Empire. The King of Italy, however, a!way held aloof, though if any monarch had cause for gratitude to Napoleon, it was he. The Queen of Sjiain averse to travel, kept away untill she became an exile without a thorn; and then she hastened to I'aris to bask in the sunshine of im perialism. Queen Victoria will, of course, have too much tact to ask the ex-Emperor to what business in life the cx-lmperial PriutC will now devote himself, aud Na poleon will certainly not be rude enough to hint at the iiossiLlc spread of the rev olutionary spirit of England, and the contingent danger of the Guclpb dynx ly. He cannot very well tell his ho tes what he thinks of bcr relative the Emperor of Germany ; nor can he hint as yet the desirability ol the Queen's re turning hi visit. Bat if they are in a rctiuapetiive aad Shakerpeetaa mood, which ii not at all probably they caa both.

The next great undertaking before the American people is the subjugating and development of the National Domain. e have to subdue, that we may inherit, our generous portion of the earth. We are coming to the close of our first cen tury, and having attained such majority, may enter upon and possess our estate. The wealth of the nation lies in the land, and we nitist digit out. Nor can we del egate the task to the mainly ignorant la borers corning to us trom other lands; we need to give it our own intelligence and our own muscle aud we have shown that we are not the people to shirk such necessity. Indeed, we are al ready making a competent beginning opening lines of transportation, making permanent peace with the Indians, learn ing the methods ot organized coloniza tion and may call ourselves fairly readr to go to work. Agriculture; tllen, is to lie our main business in years to come. We are to be a nation of farmers ; and it is worth while to consider what sort of fanners we are likely to turn out. Man mukes circumstances, circumstan ces make men. Aceptingthis antithesis, we should look for new types of chara ter under the new conditions obtaining in this country, where, also, the require ments of good order are the only limit to trecdom of development. We now ttl'onl some illustration of the aphorism; but the re-action of " circumtanes " on men being the work of ge'-.erations, we are yet too young Hi exhibt itsVtl'ects in any notable instance the conventional " Yankee" being tin unreal creature, fat fading into tradition. Still, we have al ready i;iveli evidences tit human power, peculiarly American, promising good re sults. We are oiit-gmwing the wisdom of the world, and are destined to disprove the maxims that sum up the limits of hu man experience. The old saw, " When Adam delved and Eve span, where was then the gentleman?" involves negative ly the assertion that manual lalmr is in compatible with grace and refinement. Hie reputation of this idea, heretofore dominant in dvilization,we have now ac- omplished, and we shall not be long in lissipatiugit entirely. All there- is in worth in the gentler experiences of life shall be free to the delving Adam of the New World. With increasing facilities of communication, pertected means ol education, and the larger returns to labor, secured by intelligence the man who - , CL... I III.. .1... i " mows ana noes ami noius mu uo will command the best, the world has to "ive of culture and soial consideration. More than this, we believe that no prize tsiveted bv the higher ambitions shall be hcyonif reach. We trust that war is, with us, almost an impossible contingency; the occupation of the sol dier, with its brilliant triumphs, is, hap pily, gone. Our commerce has probabiy reached its height, aud the bulk of trade will hereafler'be the distribution of do mestic products, rather than the vast im ports trom which our merchant princes have derived their wealth. In polit'i we have-virtually settled those questions which have occupied our leading men since the foundation ot the Hepublic. The equality of civil right Iris b.'cti estaii lished lully and torever; ana ine poor of Protection to Home Industry is assur ed in the minds ofourjieople beyond se rious disturbance. Wo return, then, to the statement that the development of our natural sources of wealth of which Agriculture is the first must lie the prin cipal concern of this and the next gener ation. And who can doubt that, in these untried fields of achievement, our liest minds will find sufficient opportunities anil rewards? Now, while it is true that new methods and new means inventions and im provements, organization and co-operation will lighten burdens and make la bor effective, yet it is also true that the successful farmer must work with his own hands; and it is better for ii", ' men, that it should lie so. .Manual lalmr is a direct, ioitivc good to us, physical ly aud spiritually. We have been declar ed a nation of dysticptics sallow, lean, and nervous; we are to owe our carnal salvation to the hard out-door work nec essarily incident to the task betore ii". Comfort alid culture, wealth and honor-, will follow, with certainty and in full measure, Iicyond even the dreams of the care-worn seeker in the over-crowded market place or the narrow paths ot the profession". The grandest opportuni ties; Humanity ever had are now .ffer- in:r in tbi our land to the thoroughly riiinlilini liller ot the soil. And It 1" to our future fanner we must look Tor that nobler groth of manhood winch wehav faith that America will produce. X I. Tribune.

The next morning the voang man sent for a friend to get him out, as lie did not care to have ht father know of hii incarcera tion.

" Bay some of these pictures of the public building! of London, sir," said he, "and jdu can give them to your American friends to take home with him." I was in a hurry, but mv wonderment would have stopped me if I had been running to a fire. "How in creation did you know I wan an American?" I asked. "Why, I couldn't mistake that," the picture seller replied with a quiet laugh. You're American all over." I purchased a picture, and then asked him to explain himself. "I would know you by your sou hea ver bat." he said. "That's an American fashion." "Well if it were not for that?" He glanced down at my feet. "Your boots would betray you. No body but Americans wear square toes." WeIl what else?" '-'Your chin whiskers. Englishmen always wear the mutton chop style." "Well, anything more?" "If you won't lie offended, ir?" " Not ill all ; I am seeking for informa tion." " I should know you by your thin peaked face." "Well, mv friend." I suid, " I fancy von are at the end d" yiiiir catalogue now. SupJHise that I wore a stiff, Ingli-crowiiod hat, round-toed boots' mutton chop whiskers, and had a lace as red and hubby as any in liritian would you be able to know me for an American then?

In Paris I was im portuned to buy a photograph of Ijif.iy ette, because lie was "ze friend of ze American." In Genoa a dirty vagabond was i-laiiionius to exhibit to ine the house where Columbus was born, be cause he discovered "the signor's great isiuutree;" and at Alexandria the climax was capped by a ragged little descend ant of the Pharaohs, who besought me to tiikua rido mi Inn donkey.

Its broad and fertile bo'Uoms, rich deep soil, and rolling prairies, are not the accompaniment of a heavily timbered country, and it presents a strange com parison to tho dense forests, and the thickly clustered stumps, adorning the "cleared" corn fields of our Eastern "t'liihered" State", which, themselves were considered but a few brief years ugo as the "Far West," 'till the onward march of the "Star of Empire" coursing its way ever westward to a new world lar iieyonu was opened up to the tread of the lo comotive, and the culture of incoming civilization. The resident ol an Cistern "timbered" State will occasionally note this apparent scarcity of growing timber in our Prairie Suite." Its fertile farming lands in most localities lie unobstruct ed by trees and f.ircst., and all clcaiel aud ready for the breaking plow, where naught is needed but to tickle the earth with a hoe, she will laugh with a harvest.
