Mr. Bryant, now seventy-three years old, furnishes an' ' ample of serene and beautiful. old age which' stands almost without a par allel. among the men with whose names the reading world is familiar. From first to last, the lite of William Cullen Bryant has been happy—tranquil far beyond that which falls to the common lot of men. From;first to last it has been pure, wise and virtuous to a de uce which is seldom illustrated in this world. He has, so far as we know, 'never had 'to struggle with adversity in any shape, scarcely even with temptation so much .as most men • do. In his childhood the bent of 'his mind was lovingly and assiduously encouraged by his father; and all through his life he has enjoyed the good. will and esteem of his contemporaries to an extent almost unparal leled. He has deserved .it, too,'which is more, as the world wags. In our opinionthe stands at the head of American poetry, beyond a question. 'As a poet, Mr. Bryant has no critics in this day. Tracing the poetical history of Mr. Bryant, we find ourselves taken back almost to the cradle. It is not asserted that his first utter ances were in rhyme, nor that the lullaby to which his cradle was rocked was sung to his own words. But it is clear that he must have began versermaking at an age when "the common man," or child, is still floundering in the puzzling mazes of the alphabet; for no poet prints his first attempts, and little Wil liam had achieved print when he was but nine years old. The Hampshire Gazette, a weekly newspaper published at Northamp ton, Mass., was the medium through which the little rhymer sought publiCity for his pre cocious effusions. There were "Poet's Cor ners" in those days. The practical progres siveness of this age, withits railroads, its tele graphs; and its lightning presses, has oblite rated that, amon,,,,a other institutions- of the good old times. Village newspapers ape the fashions of the metropolitu, giants of the press, and good-bye to the "P'oet's Corner." In those days,_ literature was • looked upon by most people with more. disfavor than now. It is still common enough for world wise parents to look upon a "literary turn of mind" as a fatal bar to the success in life of their progeny; but in that, day it was the ttac to look askance at the unhappy child who ex hibited a love for "Idle poetry, That useless and unprofitable art.' But good Dr. Peter Bryant, William's father,. was a man of strong literary tastes and fine scholarship. He hailed with delight these exhibitions of genius in his boy, and entered into his pursuits with genuine enthusiasm. He encouraged him in every way, and, recognizing the common danger of too great' precocity in a youth, sought earn estly and faithfully to inculcate habits of careful composition, systematic study, and thorough mastery of the mica! of poetic art. Few successful literateurs are able- to look back on the influence exerted by their parents upon their young minds, with a love and veneration so profound as that which ' William Cullen Bryant feels ibr the gentle and scholarly village doctor of Cumtnington. All his life, Mr. Bryant's atlection and grati tude to his father,. and recognition of his in fluence in making the poet what he is, has been one of his Must marked • peculiarities_ Any allusion to his tether, even at this day, is sure to awaken in Mr. Bryant, the fondest: words! of eulogy. He has also sung this good parent's praise in many of his poems. It is one of those questions which we never epect to decide, whether this feeling confers most credit on the father who could awaken it, or on the son who could - cherish it so vividly through so many years: but the world can never fully know how wonder fully.tenacious are the affections of iMr. Bry ant's heart—how df.'ep how strong, haw deathless. His precocity thus carefully directed, it was none the less carefully encouraged. When the lad was but fourteen, he composed a poem of considerable character, entitled "The Embargo, or Sketches of the Times." This \vas published in Boston, and made a small volume, which had a remarkable sale for the period. -A seams! edition was called ler'iVithin the year. It was a! satire upon President Jetlerson ami his measures. • In the same year another considerable poem, "The Spanish Revolution," was published. The astonished public 'received. these poems with such incredulity as to their being the work of, such a young' head, that in the later edition it was found advisable to print a sworn certificate as to their genuineness. •' At At the age of sixteen, young Bryant en- “Asitiiriettnisnts” in saiskesa ! ease— Mred Williams College, where he remained NVords Obsolete in England in Use two years; and then, on his own application, all America. received an honorable dismissal.

The politics or those days are not of much interest at the present moment, and the politics .ot this day it is not our province to discuss. Suffice it to say that Mr. Bryant has always been found on the side of freedom. • • ' Mr. ElaM Bliss, of this city, issued the first full edition Of Bryant's poems. Irving was then in London,. and caused the volume to be republished'in that city, announcing - himself as editor, and dedicating the volume to Samuel Rogers, the banker poet. Since then the Harpers have been Mr. Bryant's publishers, and the most friendly relations have always existed between them. The world is most familiar with Mr. Bry ant's prose writings through the editorial columns of the Evening 'Post. He has few equals in the newspaper press as a writer of elegant and correct Enghsh.a A book might be made from his "leaders" in the _Post which would rivals the old ,Spectator essays for the-purity of its language and the clearness of its thought. But we suppose there are few people now-a-days who ever think of Mr. , Bryant as a prose story-teller. There is an old book, which maybe found at the Astor Library, we believe, called Tales of the Glauber ,Spa, and which contains two stories from Mr. Bryant's pen—" The Skeleton's Cave" and "Medflel4" . His sketches of travel, under the title or "Letters of a Traveler," are aISO most delightful prose reading. Mr. Bryant has traveled extensively in for eign lands, and is now abroad—as any one who reads the Evening Post can easily per ceive. He is well . acquainted . with the French; Italian, German and Spanish lan— guages. His first trip abroad was made with his family in 1834. He intended to spend several years abroad, studying life and lite rature, and educatinn . b his children; but after two years' absence lie was suddenly called home by the serious illness of Mr. William Leggett, who had been' left in charge of the Evening Post. But Mr. Bryant, whose poetry is the most distinctively American of any that we have, has not neglected his own land in order to see lands beyond the ocean. On the contrary, he has traveled extensively in this country, and never wearies of de . scribing its beauties to those he meets abroad. A French gentleman whom the writer met in Chicago recently stated that the immediate canoe of his coming to this country was that he had : "heard Mr. Bryant talk" at a dinner where they met; "et lllepqrole,tfest le sent (whirr AmeriCan qui ait tumour de' la patric ties prononce!" When 4 home, Mr. Bryant lives in sum mer at a delightful place near Roslyn, L. 1., although he has recently been completing a tasteful country home at Cummington, his native place. His habits of life are these of a man in full communion with the beautiful in nature. His house is an old-fashioned mansion, surrounded by beautiful and luxu riant grounds. He is in the habit of coming to town every day, to do a. certain share of labor at the editorial desk in the old and dingy rooms in Nassau street, where he has toiled so long and so well. He leaves his .desk at an early hour in the afternoon, descends to the counting-room, pockets a copy of the Post, and goes home to Rbtlyn. There he throws off the dares of the day, and becomes the simple:hearted man, the lover of nature. Despite his advanced years, he has an element of rollicking playfulness in his composition, and is proud of the youthful 1 spring and elasticity which he retains in sueh a marked degree. He is an indefatiga ble walker, and often when strolling with an intimate friend he has been known to pro pose' a friendly trial of speed, darting off down the grassy slope with a spirit that might put th,e youngest of men to his mettle. Coming to a fence, he will put his hand on the top rail and vault over it with the ease of a practiced gymnast. Sometimes he will spring up and catch the bough of a tree 'over . head with his hands, drawing himself up and touching his chin to the bough, and then playfully demanding if you can do as much. . ' In his domestic relations, Mr. Bryant's life has again been marked by the liveliest se . renity. No man was ever more devotedly attached to the wife with whois he'lived so many years. His conduct toward her in sickness was such as to awaken the-admira . tion of every one who observed it; hardly. ever away from-her bedside, persistent and : untirin, his - watchfulness and. devotion. The iiiinc.'d ep and deathluss love exhibited i, ' in WA feelin , tor the long-vanished tamer is exhibited again in his affection for his family. He is never so happy as when surrounded by his dear ones. In winter he resides in a plain but. serviceable mansion/ up town, in thi city. In personal appearance ,Mr. Bryant is quite impressive, with his- fine grey heard and hair, his large and spumetrical head, with his high broad forehead and kindly eyes, and his erect figure.. His appearance is always much improved when lie takes his bat off, for with it on the best part of him is hidden from view. His 'manner, While not precisely that of the "man of the world," is always self-poised: and wheii once the slight crust of reserve lie wears is broken throu .:h, you come at a glorious wealth of geniality and affection.

It was, no doubt, as common as any household word in Shakes . peare's time, when wood was probably the only fuel used inland, and a "sea-coal fire" only known to people of the seaport towns. Thirty years ago, in this country, before the era of stoves, friction matches, anthracite coal and hot-air furnaces, the last duty in every farm-house and kitchen, before . going to bed, was "to rake up the fire," by covering the burning brands with ashes, to preserve them for lighting a fire the next morning. And servants were liable to reproof' for neglect of this ditty the same as in England (see Mcciyj fl'i'es of ll'ilid8or), as it was not only unsafe, but made it necessary to run to the neighbors in the morning to fetch live coals.* (29.)

The following arc extracts SIDNEY JOIINfiO:S The first cadet I ever heard give the word of command was Sidney Johnson, and the impression his appearance made on me is as clear and distinct now as it was then. His stalwart form and well-developed muscles gave him an appearance of great strength, while his gentle manners and benevolent countenance indicated a man of the tenderest affections. Hard to arouse to . anger, he was ever ready to espouse life cause of the op pressed. His noble nature endeared him'to his fellow cadets and his 'associates in fter life.

During Bob Lee's stay at West .Point, I am_ aatisfied he never swore an oath; tasted a (leap of ardent spirits, nor used . "the weed" in any shape or form. The same virtues of abstinence may be attri buted to Charles Mason; but I think "Char ley" occasionally let slip au oath; at least he looked as if 'he did. Mason was in Lee's class, and intellectually had no superior at the Point. How well 1 can recollect his bright, piercing eye,gleaming and "snapping" with excitement as lie stood at the black board; demonstrating some intricate and beautiful mathematical problem. Mason early- left the army, and has since sought and gained that distinction in civil life which his talents and pure character entitled him cto. lie was for a long time Commissioner of the Patent Office, chosen for his scientific attain ments, and tilled with ability for several years a place on the Supreme Bench of lowa. u. w. • Another prominent cadet in Lee's class was B. W. Brice. He was high up as a soldier, but low down as a student; very handsome, full of wit and humor, and always ready for fun and frolic. Everybody liked. him, and was glad to call Ben Brice his friend. He was of "our set," and considering the circumstance, it is wonderful he ever ;,reached the office Of Paymaster-General Untied States Army, which he now holds, and the duties of which he discharges with Masterly ability. • Jonwrox.

A STORY/ ABOUT WINDER. At the military academy everything was invariably done in exactly the same way, and the sentiment of "the corps" was always de cidedly opposed to anything like innovation upon established forms and customs. For example,'„ the commander of the evening paradotoolt up his position at a certain time, aboutaixty paces distant from the centre of the line. He' then:folded his arms across his chest, and remained motionless as a statue until the adjutant, informed him that the pa :fade was formed. lie then, with great delib eration, dropped his arms, and with his right band gracefully waved the adjutant to his place. As soon as the adjutant passed him he drew his sword, passed it diagonally across his breast, and clutched it near the point with his left hand. The battalion. was then car ried through the manual, brought to an "order arms," the adjutant received an intimation that he 'could publish the orders and dismiss the parade. Now, the slightest deviation from. the established man ner of performing all these details would have brought down upon the head of the offender the wrath of the whole corps. Lieutenant John H. Winder (afterward lArigadier-Genc ral Winder, of the Confederate states army), whose training had been under a totally dif ferent system' returned to the Point, after an, absence of ten or twelve years, as assistant instructor of tactics. The lbst evening he took command of the parade he lounged out to his position and assumed an easy attitude; resting himself op one leg, his arms dropped by his side. Instantly a nmtmur began to run through the lines. The Lieuten ant thereupon. braced himself up and shouted "Attention:" Thiti for a moment produced quiet, and enabled the adjutant to proceed with the ceremonies; but the moment Winder drew his sword and plackd the blade anitinst the hollow of the skoulder instead • - of across his breast, and spread his feet asunder instead of having his heels together on the same line, the corps broke out into yells and laughter. and such was the uproar that nothing the worthy Lieuten6nt could do to restore order was of any avail. In vain he shouted,' "If the file closers don't do their duty, I'll arrest them by —." This only increi sed the commotion, for we were unaccustomed to . swearing on parade, and finally he was obliged to dismiss the parade, the different companies hallooing and shouting as they marched off. This de monstration of the cadets soon brought the.. Lieutenant's heels together, folded his arms on hishosom, and crossed his sword over his chest. Winder was at bottom a very kind-hearted man; there was a great deal of good in him, though at times he was rather fussy, and' "cussed" some, I)O - WN'• INDI There was one other -cadet at the Point with Me whom I must not omit is mention as a remarkable man, and one who has since been very conspicuous. I refer to Lucius B. Northrup, late Commissary-General of the Confederate States. When I recollect him at the Academy he was a handsome young man, with an olive complexion, long, black hair, very erect, and walked looking straight before him, neither to the right nor left deigning a glance. He would fight on the drop of a pin. His career in the army afterward was cut short by an untoward accident. He was sent by his commanding officer; somewhere out in Arkansas or jn the Indian territory, to arrest a notorious desperado. The general belief was that the man would resist and kill any officer attempting to arresthim, and Northrup having to ascend a ladder into a loft to get at the desperado, carried his pistol cocked. Unfortunately it went' off prematurely, and shot Northrup in the leg, permanently dis abling him. Northrup was always very fond of horses, and generally rode splendid ani mals. ln General Dodge's famous-expedition many years ago:on the Plains, and out into a. country that was then:an unknown land, and looked hpon as a sort of terra incevititoi Northrup was an officer in the expedition. Dodge's object was to negotiate with t 11111iiillEi and conciliate them. But as he ad vanced into the country the Indians all fled at his approach. The army would see them in the distance, on the tops of hills, watching their progress; but Mr. Redskin would'disap pear as the ."pale faces" came up. All hopes at negotiation seemed fruitless; you could not get a palaver with them; nothing would in duce them to come into our camp. Finally, Northrup told - General Dodge he would bring an Indian in. Ile rode a magnificent blooded mare of great speed and endurance. The "next morning before dayNorthrtip started out in advance of the column, and . made a long O (wn'. At the usual hour the column marched. As they advanced they saw an Indian on hiS fleet little pony, With his lance, watching their progress from the top of a distant idly Suddenly Mr. Redskin darted like. an arifiw from a bow down the side of the:hill, his little pony,-at full speed, running across the front of the column, and presently Northrup appeared after Mr. Indian with a sharp stick, and riding as hard' as he could go. Ile had got in the rear Of the Indian;and was going to catch him by running him down. The chase was very exciting, for we could see the whole of it. Finally the blooded mare of Northrup brought Mr. Indian's pony to a stand. Of course Redskin was frightened out of his wits at being thus run down and overtaken, and expected immediate death and scalping. Lieutenant „Northrup brought his prize study into camp, where. General Dodge, instead of killing, roasting and eating him, as he expected, - gave him plenty.to cat and think, made him presents, and then,atter explaining what he wanted with the Indians, let hint go. After that incident there was no difficulty in having interviews with the In dians, and General Dodge accomplished his negotiations. The Origin of Quotations ,-- The foll Owing is from Mr. Cozzens's neW book, "The Sayings of Dr. 13ushwhacker":_ "Mr. John Timmins, the broker, Rays of that stock, 'there is a .*heel within a wheel,', without giving 'Paradise Lost,' Young's 'Night Thoughts,' and the Prophet Ezekiel credit.for a phrase which may have saved him some thollsandfi; and when he tells his boon companions at the club, that as for his gat, who is-r ath deny her nothinger-inclined to be eXtrava- gent , , 'he would,' he does not say how much he owes to Samson Agonistes for the words he makes use of. •Nil hen lie reaches ,house, Mrs. Timmins takes bitri to task 'for cyining home at such an hour of the night, in such a state;' to which he replies in _ a gay and festive manner:—`My • • ear,, o err is human—to forgive, divine," 411 - inii Pope's essay on criticism; to which frs')< answers In a snappish wa', `Tim- Wrist; there is a medium imall things' (from 11 - orace) Mr. T., disliking the tone in , • /which this quotation - is delivered, `snatches fearful IjOy' --- .'(froni -- tlm 'Ode - on: - it - Distant Prospect of Eton College), by saying ho does not intend, in his house, to have `the gray mare prove the better horse,' (from Prior's . epilogue). ' This only adds 'fuel to the flame' (from Milton's `Samson), and Mrs. 'P. ob serves that if `we could only see ourselves as' others see us' (from Burns), it would be. better for some people; that ever since lie had; joined that club 'a change had come o'er the. spirit of her dream' (from Byron); that when she trusted her happiness -to him she hail `leaned upon a: broken reed' Mom Young' , `Night Thoughts', 111. and' ; 36, (0, and; winds up a long lecture with the'reflection that `evil communications corrupt good man..- nem' . (from Ist Corinthians, 15, :t3). This last expression exasperateS Mr. 'Timmins, and he asks Mrs. T. as he takes off his sus penders, `to whom sire alludes?' "If we turn from the frescoed bed chamber' of Mrs. Timmins to the whitewashed kitchen of Jim Skiver, the shoemaker, we find language not less elevated. Jim throws a leg of mutton upon the table, and says: 'There, Mary, I bad ` "to take Hobson's , choice" ' although Jim had neither read the 509th Spectator, nor knew that _Hobson's epitaph had been written by Milton. Jim, not `having the fear of Beaumont and-Fletcher' 'before his eyes' (Romans 3, 18), says, if he can 'catch that'man wot gave Bill Baxter a. black eye the day afore his weddin' "lamm" him' (‘King and No King.' act V., scene :3.) To which Mary replies: 'I thought somethin' would happin; "the course of true• love never did run smooth,"' ('Midsummer Night's Dream,' act 1., scene 1.), and Jim: responds, `That's so; and they've put off the weddin' so often that it seems kind o' "hopin' again' hope"' (Romans 4, 18). JiM thinks alter they've had a `snack' (Pope and Dry den), tkey had better go see the Siamese Twins; 'twins tied by nature; if they part, they die' (Young's `Night Thoughts'); puts on. `a bat not much the worse for wear' (`John Gilpin'), 'dashes through thick and thin' (same authority and liudibras), and after lie has seen the Siamese, requests to see the 'Lili putian King' (from `Gulliver's Travels). "How much language wouki be lefi n s rf these estrays were returned to their lawful. owners is a question. How could we con sole the dying if we had to give tip to Gay's twenty. seventh Able the phrase, 'while there is life there's hope?' and what could we say to the good in misfortune if we had to restore to Prior's ode, Nirtee is her own reward:' The-shopkeeper who ends his long list of limey articles with `and other articles too. tedious to mention,' makes use of a seuteef,e, as old as the Latin language, and we would take time point from Byron s hit at Coleridge if we were to replace in `Garrick's Epilogue on Leaving the Stage, 'a fellow-feeling makes, us wondrous kind.' So, too, must Gold sinith's Hermit lose 'man wants but little here I below,' if Young's 'Night Thoughts,' I V:, Arid its own property; and 'all the jargon of the <Aloe's, from Burns's- first epistle to J. 1,::,- praik must be rendered up.to Prior's •Ode on Exodus,' which has a prior claim to it. "We have to go back to Thomas Kempis,, for 'man proposes but God disposes ' but 'what if thou withdraw. and no friend takes, note of thy departure?' was written by a young man only eighteens years of age nearly fifty years ago: If we want to look up Iche solemn brood of care,' we can find that, 'And each one as before will chase his favorite phantom,' Thanatopsis:. There, too, we -will-see-the-hills.:±rook , ribbed-and-ancient. as. the sun,' but 'old as the bills' is older than the 'oldest inhabitant,' and like hiai; lids lest its parent. If we need `to point, a moral and adorn a tale,' we must get point, Johnson's `Vanity of Human Wishes,' and 'he that runs may read,' in Cowper's 4 Tirocinium,' and 'he may run that'readeth it," in Habakuk 11. ; If any person wish to 'consume the midnight oil,' let him read Gay's `Shepherd and Philos, opher,' and in Congreve's `Mourning Bride' he will find 'music bath charms to soothe a savage breast.' 'To be in the wrong box,' witl occur to him who has dipped into sixtij book of 'Fox's 3lartyrs; and 1 4. 4ap01e , ,0, found 'that from the sublime to the ritii , 7l-- lous there is but one step,' in Tom works, translated and published in Fr,LIK..; 1791."

Madame de I3Oissy's "Recollections of Lord Byron" are to be published (bring the autumn. - These Memoirs by the 4a . liau, Con tessa have alWays been expected, and if the lady has told the truth about her famous English lover, her tale will be apvery strange one. Mr. Tennyson is said to have purchase(l a small estate called Green Hill, near Black down lIW, Haslemere, on which be intends to erect a house. The West _Surrey f.!,3. ecstatically says of this place, that "a more romantically lovely and retired spot can scarcely be conceived." We hope there are no impertinent eavesdroppers in that neighbor-- hood. The Archbishop of Canterbury ,stated at a recent meeting of the Hawaiian mission, that be knew few English ladies who could hear comparison with Queen Einma, of Honolulu, in a knowledge of the English language and literature. No doubt English ladies are want ing on this point; but perhaps English gentle men fer Alie most part, are not conspicuously better. Madame George Sand having been'. re quested by the conductor of a little •pictoriat journal to allow a caricature of herself to be.• published (such publication being illegal in France, without the consent of the person . caricatured), replied in the following charac teristic Jotter: "Paris, July B.—lt I were- free, sir, I would say 'yes, directly, for I . never was vain, and lam not going to he at the age of sixty-three.
