VP from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
rho clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the hills o fMaryland.
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach-tree fruited deep,
Fair as a garden of the Lord
To the eyes of the famished rebel horde,
On that pleasant morn of early fall,
When Lee marched over the mountain wall;
Over the mountains winning down,
Horse and foot, into Frederick town
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty ilags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in tho morning wind : the sun
Of noon looked clown and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Frietehie then,
Bowed with her - fourscore years and ten;
Bravest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic-window the staff she set,
To show ttat one heart was loyal yet.
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewall Jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left ;laid right
He glanced ; the old, nag met his sight
"Halt !"—the dust-brown ranks stood fast.
"Fire!"---out blazed the rifle•blast.
It shivered•the wankyv, pane anti sash ;
It rent the banner with seam and gash.
Ttliorell a uturro.
Henry Ward Beecher on Labor.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in a ser
mon to young men, thus speaks:
"I always honor a wan who ennobles
his calling,whatever it may be. Frauklln
made it nobler and easier fbr men to be
printers in all time to come because he
remained a printer. I presume you have
all heard of the Douse Library. It with
a fine collection of paintings, was once
the property of an old tanner, who was
determined that his friends and neigh
bors should know that he could bed man
of taste,a scholar,a man of culturc,tanner
that he was. So he collected his books
a few at a time, and what is more to the
point, he read them. And being a tan
ner, he had naturally a taste in the line
of leather, so he waited patiently until
he could have them all bound as he
wished. Aud as he grew older he became
very wealthy, and had, before he died,
the best library of any one in that section
of the country. When Igo to Boston,
whatever else I fail to see, I always go to
the Athenaeum and pay my respects to
that old library. Men determine their
own status, and no voting or influence
can change them. If you put a man
who is but five feet high on a table, you
don't increase his stature; you may send
a man to Albany—that won't wake him
wise; you may send him to Washington
—that won't make him a great man. A
man may be sent to Congress and nut be
sage. He way even be a President and
make some mistakes. This rule of edu•
cation,of ennobling the manhood of men
is applicable as well to clerks as to the
laboring man. Importunity may secure
to them a remission of time, or a slight
increase of wages,but the vital necessities
of these young men, the volume of being
and the elevation of character, are se
cured in no such way; they are the nor
Mal result of education, and follow ap
pointed paths. In aristocratic societies
the tendency of society is to elevate the
few and depress the masses, but in this
country, and wherever true democracy
has its way, the tendency is to elevate
the many and repress the Jew. It may
be true that the tens arc more scarce
than in earlier days, but it certainly is
true that the thousands are more plenty
There are not so many geniuses and
great men, but there are vastly more
true men, worthy men, intelligent men
than ever before. Here we are jealous
of the few, and prominence is not so
readily granted to the ambitious as where
the average of society is low. The ten-

BY ILEQUEST
PIIIILISIIED
Quick, as it fell, from the broken staff,
Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf;
She leaned far out on the window-sill,
And shook it forth with a royal will.
"Shoot, if you must, this old gray heal,
But spare your country's flag," she said
A shade of sadness, a blush of shame,
Over the face of the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman's deed and word:
"Who touches a hair of yon gray hoad
Dies like a dog ! March on !" he said.
111 day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread of marching feet:
All day long that free flag tost
Over the heads of the rebel host
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved it well ;
And through the hill-gaps sunset light
Shone over it with a warm gc.od-night.
Barbara Frietchle's work is o'er,
And the Rebel rides on his miles no more
Honor to her ! and let a tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall's bier
Ovor Barbara Frietelaie's grave,
Flag or Freedom and Union, wave!
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law ;
And ever Cho starg"above look down
On thy stars below in Frederick town !
Idencies of our time are far higher and
better than formerly. The natural
temptations remain, to be sure, but it
seems to me that in all industrial and
professional callings there is a purer,more
! generous and higher ambition than for
merly. Virtue is more honored, dissipa
tion is reprobated, and Christian charac
ter is far more common among young
men than in my boyhood. Twenty years
ago, if one should speak in a public as
semblage it would be taken for granted
that he was a clergyman, a lawyer or at
least a professor;but now it is no uncom
mon matter to hear men talk intelligently
and interestingly on matters of law, of
ethics, of various subjects, whose hands
are yet hard from the holding of the
plough, whose skin is yet grimed with
the dust of the forge. Labor is honor;
able among us; idleness dishonorable.—
Men will be free in Europe as soon as
the masses are intelligent and moral—
not before. Make much then of man
hood; make its wrists too long for maw/ I
cles, its hand too strong fur prisons.—
Our young men are those to whom we
must look for help. They are strong fur
war; they are strong too, for good. They
may help society in many ways. They
may help by ambition of intelligence
rather than of pleasure. Let them read,
study, educate ;hemselves, thereby make
true men for the State, true meu for
their calling; true men, upon whose wit
and wisdom the country can rely in time
of trouble and embarrassment. They
may help by redeeming their occupation
from vulgarizing tendencies. A trade
is what a wan sees fit to make it—not
what other men think best to call it.—
They rnaythelp by giving men power--
not to escape from certain callings, but
to ennoble them."
A Persevering, Author.
A man was dying. lie had a friend-an
author. The friend came to him. To
comfort him ! No I to . read manuscript.
He produced a packet, and drew his
chair to the bedside of the dying man.
"Only a few chapters," he said insinu
atingly. "But, my dear friend," urged
the faint voice of the departing one, -the
doctor says I've only an hour to live."
What was the reply? "yes, yes, I know
all that; but this will only take you
twenty minutes."

As from the mountain's deep ravine
The echoing rocks repeat the sound,
Or as some gentle mirrored lake,
In truth, reflects the scene around :
So every thought we mortals speak
Re-echoes down the flight of time: .
And every act that here is done,
Is mirrored in the book divine.
How guarded,then,should be the thoughts,
The words and acts, both thine and mine !
Antietam National Cemetery.
A friend who has recently visited the
battle field of Antietam, and witnessed
the removal of some of the dead to the
Cemetery, has put us in possession of in
teresting information in connection with
that enterprise.
Up to this time about 1,200 dead
have been removed. They are placed
iu substantial cofEns, under the, direc
tion of Mr. Sherer, the efficient and
gentlemanly agen t of the Quartermaster's
Department, and delivered to Dr. Biggs,
the President of the Cemetery Associa
tion, who buries them in their proper
lots, In raising the dead every grave is
carefully examined and strict search is
made for relics which may in any manner
serve to identify the remains. So fat
about two thirds have been - fully recog
nized. There is no' difficulty in identi
fying those buried in the different chnrcn
yards—the head boards being yet in
good condition. Those buried in the
fields, (in many cases,) have been
ploughed over and the boards destroyed.
Yet many are identified by memoranda
kept by the farmers and others living in
the neighborhood. In some cases relics
found in the graves afford the most sat
isfactory evidence, as the following will
show:
With the bones in an unknown grave
was found a bottle which contained a slip
of paper, on which was written '‘William
0. Stickue,y, (30. 0, 7th Me. Vol., died
Sept. 2Gth, at 11 o'clock, P. M.—Resi
dence, Springfield, Maine. Among the
bones of o,ne of: his hands was
,found
plain silver ring.
There have been a number of relics
found in the graves; the most interesting
one, to our informer, was an ambrotype
likeness, in a remarkably perfect condi
tion. It was found on au unknown body.
It is to be hoped the likeness may be
recognized, and thereby identify the re
mains of the unknown hero, who doubt
less carried the picture 'to his heart; and
it may be while looking upon that sweet
face, and remembering dear ones at home,
h 3 fell—and, with others, was buried in
a trench, marked unknown."
The likeness is described as that of a
handsome young lady, apparently about
seventeen years old. She is sitting in a
plain chair, and dressed in plaid, with
short sleeves, bare arms and neck; about
her neck is a gold chain, which hangs
down by her side as it attached to a
locket; her hands are clasped under her
lap, and from her arms is suspended an
ornamental leather satchel. From ap
pearauaes her hair was of light auburn
culor,ancl as the ladies term it, "frizzled"
in trout and bradcd on the sides; the
open braids haug gracefully over her
cheeks; her face is round and expressive,
with a small dimple in her chin.
The body of " Colonel McElroy, of
New York," was found in David R.
Miller's field. The body of Lieutenant.
Sandford, of Wisconsin, was found to be.
iu a most woudtrful state of preservation,.
having almost the same appearance as
when he died. Those who knew him in.
life would doubtless recognize him now.
His body was embalm.:.].—Boonstora'

issued an allocution excomuaunicating
indiscriminately all members of the fra
