Joyou·sness long absent from the i countryside. Th!ough drill has 'only been " goiug on for a few months, it is wonderful to see the improvement in the bearing' and appearance of the yeung men; the: slouching gate and awkward carriage have I given place to the smart appearance and manly. erect bearing that always follow a course of drill.

What route marching there will be; what manoeuvres, drills, displays, military sports, the Iink. ing up of companies here and there, the parades on to the 'athletic grounds, the vifle competitions, and all the rest of it that will appease the old heart-hunger of the Celt for arms and warlike amusement.
