What dif ference if be toiled and suffered to obtain it if the prize was bis at last Seth Milford was about seventeen years of age, tall, dart, and awkward in appearance ; his clothes were of the coarsest home spun, and verj- much soiled and torn, and an old palm leaf bat, and coarse brogans completed bis toilet. Weary and hungry, we can well imagine bis appearance, as he climbed over th; fence the next afternoon into a field where a num- ber of men were at work harvesting; a good nrtured hale-looking farmer stood near by, with a basket in one Laud und a jug of water in the other. Seth imagined bim to be the employer"; so, approaching hhii, he asked birn if he wished another hand. Instead of answering the question, seeing that the boy was fatigued, be motioned him to a sbady seat, and com menced to spread the "lunch" on tho newly cut wheat. "I think you'll feel better for a bite, my lad ; so sit up with my men and help your self, while I get you a rake, as 1 see you Lave none." "Thank you." Seth's whole soul was in the words-; bow that joung heart leaped with gladness as the first words of kindness for many a long year fell like music upon his car! "I guess I'll want you as long as you want to stay, if you do well. But you must not work too bard, and try and feel at home at kiy house." And Seth did; harvest passed and autumn came, and still he remained an inmate of Mr. Wilson's family : and one could scarcely re cognize in the cheerful-faced and neatly clad boy, the Seth Milford of other days. Seth was very bappy there ; Mr. Wilson was bo kind and fath&rly, p-nd bis wife could not have treated her own child better ; and little flattie, with her laughing Drown eyes full of merriment, was always at brs side as be tat, after the day's work was done, in the vine-covered perch, or neatly scoured kitch en, or large white-washed parlor, with its fantastic pictures and little ornamented pin cushions, needle-cases and braided rugs, and rows of white dishes cn the 6nowy shelves; it was indeed home there, for one who had been so long homeless. But one hazy October morning Seth stood in the vine-covered porch, in the garb of a traveler. The good farmer and his wife, and little Mattie, Etood before bim, all talking earnestly. "Seth, my lad,'' said Mr. Wilson, "you have been a good boy, and don-; well by me. I should like to keep you, but as your great desire, it seems, is to become a scholar, and you choose t go alone into the great city, and go through many trials and difficulties to be one; but -Seth, my boy, I have lived longer in thid rorld than j-ou ; jou will find some thiegs that vHl seem almost impossible, but reun'ciLer, take an old man s advice, Perse- verb. Aiiis nas lODg oeen my motto ; t nave uever known it to fail." "You must write to us just as soon as you b aro bow," paid Mrs. Wilson, kindly. "A prorpt-rous journey to you, good bye." You must come back very soon, Seth ; I will by lonesome when you are gone," said little Mattie, as the tears dimmed her brown eyes "I will wait for you at the gate every Dight." And so Seth left bis home and hur ried tiway. Wenry, indeed, Seth found himself walking the crowded pavements of a large city The numberless drays, coaches, expresses, omni bufses and vehicles of every description, the crowd of people hurrying to and fro the liand.vmc buildingi and magnificent shows of merchandize of every kind completely bewil dered bim. Wc need not follow Seth minutely, re pulsed, scorned and laughed at for his green ness, he wandered on. His proud spirit was wounded, not broken. Farmer Wilson's motto was constantly before him. He at last found a situation in a livery stable, where ho was to devote all his time before and after school, and thus pay his way. We rnigbt follow Seth to the Academy, unknown, poor and ignorant laughed at aud taunted by bis schoolmates, and placed in the lowest room ' among the little children ; (lighted and scorned even Dy tuem. it was a lonely and sad time, yet it passed away. Five years from the time he entered the Academy, be graduated, and entered one of the first medical colleges in the city ; writing or working, as be bad done before, and thus meeting bis expenses. At the age of twenty-seven, Seth Milford left the University with the highest honors, loved and respected by all; honest and up right in all his dealings, educated with tal ents of a high order, no wonder the wealthy and honored sought his society, and forgot that his education was all he possessed. Ten years they bad passed, with their storms and sunshine, over the old farm of Mr. Wilson, and the snows had whitened his locks, and Time's rough finger had left its traces upon his brow ; yet tho smile was still there, and the warm heart, with its kindly beatings, was still tho same. And his good wife, Time bad written no sad tale upon her open brow, though snowy cap shaded ber silver brown bair, and ber step was slower, and her voice bad less music in its tone. And Mattie the daughter loving, brown-eyed Mattie those ten years had passed like sun shine over her young bead, and the pretty girl blossomed into the beautiful woman. One bright 6p;Vng morniDg, when the dai sies and buttercups bloomed, there was a bri dal in the old parlor at Farmer Wilson's, and Dr. Milford bore away the lovely Mattie, his bride, and in the village of N , uot many miles from Squire Williams' mansion, a neat white cott-ce bore tho sin of S. M. Milford, M. D "A new doctor io town, Squire." The old man raised his bead slightly, then sank back wearily. 'Where from ?" lie asked at lat. "From "0.; his came is Dr. Mil-ford"; per forming wonders, I tell you ; better let me get him' Milford," be said at last, '-and that urine haunts n.y sleeping and waking hours. Why can I not crush it from my memory? No, no; 'tis bard for one like me to die; bard, with all my guilt, to go ; hard to die" anu a cold shiver shook his frame. "And I drove him away ; Seth, Seth, come back; I drove him away into the forest, and be is dead ; I . IX-I IT . ' am going to meet mm i xso : nu : l cauuu . So raved the old man in bis deliricm poor Squire Williams' conscience had dono its work. Squire Williams recovered. Thera was no malice in the noble soul of Seth. Long days he watched by his bedside, and not until the old man had fully regained bis health did he make himself known. "You are a noble man, and I ccs'.ld trust you with my life," said the aged Squire, while the warm tears rained over his pale cheeks. "I know you have forgiven the harsh old man. Tell me, Setb, that you have for given me?' "Indeed t have." "Heaven bless you, my boy." Years have passed away since then; Squire Williams and bis wife are sleeping beneath the willows in the village church yard, and the elegaut mansion on the farm is the home of Dr. Milford and his lovely Mattie. It was a gift from the Squire. So much for a de termination. Who will take Seth's motto and Persevere Waverley Magazine. Deatli of a Printer vlio Knew "Ju nius' The Pendleton (S. C.)

Whereupon the librarian distilled this ocean of . words down to thirty camel loads. "Too bulky, yet," said the "monarch. "I have not time to read that." Whereupon the thirty loads were double-distilled, and a se lection was made sufficient to load a single ass. "Too bulky yet," said the monarch. Wh'ereupon it was treble-distilled, and tho only residuum was these three lines, written on a palm leaf: This is the sum of science : Perhaps. This is the sum of all morality.: Lovo what is good, and practise it. This is tho sum of all creeds :- Believe what is true, and do not tell all you believe.

The horses are excellent, well-bred, bandy active, and courageous The men are bold riders; good swordsmen, and. better rtill, are thensht weight, and are recruited in greaV part from two of the greatest equestrian na tions in the world, the Poles and Hungarians In ber service the monstrosity, so often wit nessed in b ranee, of a giant of two hundred pounds weight, laden with arms aod accou trements astride of a beast not much bigger than himself, never witnessed. In short, the Austrian uhlan or huzzar is the model light cavalry man of tho world; small, light; wiery, active, indefatigable, a rider from his cradle, bis bridle in his heels, and bis hand, eye, and heart on his sable, indefatigable in the march swift in the charge, every where by turns and nowhere long. It may be almost said that the Turkish sphai is a thing of the past, is the only light cavalry, in fact the only caval ry in existance. Ilis cuts are as fatal and sure as other men's thursts His horse h a part of himself; riding or fighting is his past time In former days he was the glory and boast of the Austrian army. These gay swarms of hardy men which it shot from it3 sides on the march tvero its surest aids in vic tory, the best safeguard in defeat. All this however, goes down before En field riSe and Armstrong gun. Let the horse 1 be ever so swift, the sabre ever so sharp, or the rider ever so bold, the couical ball is too much for bim A chnrge of cavalry upon a body of properly armed infantry bids fair to be henceforward impossible. Two hundred yds has been fixed by the best authority as the proper charging distance, and in by gone days, it was only at two hundred yards that the "Sre of a square begun to tell, and saddles to be emptied. But ncw-a-day? the iron rain patters on the horsemen before they get within a half a mile of the foe. If they quick en their pace to close the maddest charge will not bring a dragoon horse on the bayonet in less than three minutes; and when be arrives he is blown and disabled. "When be arrives' if he arrives. t.e shocld say: fcr even in tra versing eight hundred yards at the top of bis speed, he receives half a dozen volleys from practiced sharp-shooters. To send cavalry on such service will, we may safely predict, henceforward be considered madness The foot-soldier has a swifter messenger in his cartouche-box than the fleetest huzzar, and Austria loses tier most emcient weapon.
