William Cullen Bryant.
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. •'

remains. He became its manager and politi
cal director within a lbw years, and thereupon
gave it a new political bent. 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. His friendships are not lightly
grown, and they/last forever. He is quick to
recognize talenttin a young man, and to en
courage it; 'but/ it' he discovers in a contem
plated proteg/ a lack of fine moral sense, a
want of the i , iimple virtues, au inclination to
be-"loud" and 'fast," and to disregard the
admonitions of his elders, the interest awa
kened by talent, however great, is not suffi
cient to hold Mr. Bryant's regard. An honest
and high-minded man himself, lie demands as
much from others,notwithstanding his charity

infancy, as peevish, fretful and difficult to

children; but as often applied to grown peo
ple.
(13.) "Thou crusty batch of nature."—The
word "crusty" is now more used - in England
than here, to mean cross or ill-teinpered. The
word "batch" is borrowed from the baker's
shop, and is still used as a popular figure of
speech in America,: generally in a derisory
sense, the same as in Shakespeare's text; and,
when applied to persons, means that all are
equally bad and contemptible.

to cover over lightly or hastily with earth or
ashes. To "lake up the fire' —eouute feu;
and hence cm:few—will soon become obso
lete all the world over; and with it,* perhaps,
the sacred word "hearth." 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.) "But with a longer lellicr limy he

"tether" to any American reader would be
quite superfluous.
(21.) "Hunts not the trail of policy so
sure;" and "On the false trail' they cry.' It
will be a long while—generations or even
centuries, perhaps—before the word "trail"
ceases to be • used by Americans; but !den
now it seems that English readers of S
peace require to have its meaning expVtlQ
to them.

them, to be found in Shakespeare's plays, as

important and agreeable task.

Recollections of Cadet Life—Rebel

"An Old Dragoon" is writing a series of in

giving reminiscences of cadet life at the West
Point Military Academy. 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. On one of the fairest pages of hisfory
must be written the deeds of this gallant Itol
dier and true patriot.
LEONIDAS POLK
Leonidas Polk, tall and straight as au ar
row, was the orderly sergeant of my com
pany. Scrupulously strict in the discharge
of his duties, retiring in Ilia manners, and a
devout member even then of the Episcopal
(lurch he invariably commanded the respect
of us all.
EOBEET E. LEE
Robert E. Lee held, the.two 'offices, in the
corps usually filled by the best soldiers;
classr—sergeant-major and adjutant. He di -
charged the duties of these offices with zeal
and fidelity. his personal appearance sur
paSsed in manly beauty that of any other
cadet in the corps. Though firm in his posi
tion and perfectly erect, he had none of the
stillness so often assumed by.men who affect

military. His limbs, beautiful and syuimet-'

turning lathe; his step was as elastic as if he
spurned the ground upon which he trod. llc
was noted among his classmates as a great
student, and as having passed through the
trying ordeal of a military school without a
single demerit mark. •(I. generally got one
hundred and fifty a year.) 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

Joseph E. Johnston a great deal of the
military spirit that pervaded the corps and
which was infused by Major Worth. He was
not remarkable for his studious habits, and
belonged to a fast set, of which I myself was
an active member. Few of that set escaped
arrest, confinement and court-martial.
Joe Johnston was one of those genial spirits
that gave zest, to a cadet's life. Full
of ambition and a desire to excel,, he was yet

'alBfingW catlGt at the Academy in that day,
and I do not believe West Point has ( over had
Lis equal. He was a first-rate soldier, of fine
appearance, and very, strict whe„d on duty as
"officer of the day," never titling to report
the slightest violation of regulations, even
though the delinquent was his most intimate
friend and room-mate. • lids trait in his

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

him some thollsandfi; and when he tells his
boon companions at the club, that as for his
gat,

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

/which this quotation - is delivered, `snatches

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

`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).

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,

"We have to go back to Thomas Kempis,,

'what if thou withdraw. and no friend takes,

young man only eighteens years of age nearly
