YOUNG MEN IN WAR.
The young man has always been
a potent element in war. So far aa
the active operations of a cam
paign are concerned, he is indes
--penaable, for i he fatigues of march'
ing, the exposure# of camp life,
tel' aeverely upon men even in
early middle life, observes the St.
Louis Chronicle. Young men are
necessary, therefore, to fill the
ranks, to bear the burden and
beat of the day, t<> do the active
work of campaigning, of marching
of watching, df fighting.
“Old men for counsel. youn<
men for war,” is tn° aphorism.
There are many instancts in the
military history of our own ano

Bryau never wrote a b poem
than “Thanatopsis,” yet he wa»
only a boy when this, his best
known production, was completed.
Like many poetical writere, he was
a poor judge of the meii s of bis
own work, and fancied he could
write much better later in life. H<
preserved his tranlation of Homer
to any of his poetical effusions, and
disliked and complimented upon
“Thanatopsis,” regarding it as a
mere boyish play of fanqy which
had been greatly surpassed by hi
later work.
Shelby was only a buy when
“Queen Mab” appeared and resul
ted in his leaving the univesrity.
Keats was not 20 when be dis
tinguished himseli by some of hi
choicest works. Moore admired al l
over the Enghsbspeaking world be*
‘ fore he was as old as Hobson,
Charles James Fox was not 20
when bis first success in Parlia
ment was reenrded. Metternich was
a young man when he first swayed
the destinies of the Austrian Em

Theirs and Gladstone were still

was only a boy when he come to
America: Alexander had hardly
attained his majority when h>
marched into A ia: Edison had
not grown a beard when his first
inventions astonished the electri
cians. Peter Cooper was still »
young man when he undertook t<
solve the problem of steam trac
tion. Fulton was young when ht
set about the work of “navigating
* tbe‘sess with a washboiler.
On the other hand there are
’ many men whose growth is gradual
anti he who concludes that ail
geniuses develop early is likely to
fall into error. The're for example,
is our own D wey, who is over 60
ys <rs of age and who has ascended

process of gradual promotion.

Gov. Leedy’s aggregation of
Kansas volunteers are still sub
ject to the ridicule of their
comrades from other states be-
* cause of their cheap character
of their equipment. “One of the
standing jokes in the camp,”
writes a soldier from San Fran-
’ ci»co, “is about our pour uni
s forms, and a common question
when one soldier meets another
is: ‘What is the color ol my
pants this morning?’ I have seen
a soldier on parade with pants
i that were colored in one leg a
. light blue and in the other a red
greeu. Both legs won’t fade
- alike, and it makes us look like
• circus clowns.”
