AFTER ALL.
The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden,
In the bloom of the dying sun. ,
i -
At the cottage door the grandsire '
Sifs pale in his ea?y chair, .
While the gentle wind of twilight, - -
Days with his silvor hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him.
A fair, young head is prest,
In the first wild passion of sorrow,
Against his aged breast. - ; ; -
And far ofl" over tho distance
The faltering echoes come
Of the Eying blast of trumpet,
And the rattling roll of drum.
And the grandsire speaks in a' whisper,
''The end no man can see;
I5ut we give him to his country,
And we give our prayers to thee."
The violets star the meadows.
The rose buds fringe the door.
And over the grasy orchard
The pink-white blo.-soins pour. .' .' .
But the grandsire ' chair is empty,
The cottage is dark and still :
There's a nameless grave in tho ba'lle-ficld,
And a new one under the hill.
Anil a pallid tearless woman
By the cold hearth fits alone.
And the old clock in the corner,
Ticks on with a steady droue.
THE LENGTH OF HTJMAIf LIFE.
What ought to be tho length ol human life ?
The Psalmist says that the days of our years
are "three score and ten," but many of the
patriarchs doubled, nay quadrupled, the given
period; my, at tint time the sum of human
life, on an average, was . longer, as now it is
much shorter; and we would further answer,
.,, rrt mi. , ....,.. r.n v. i .
in-ii i make an average tail below m emi-iUi-
' " -
false vith making it Jail above the truth
if
we fix the limit of life at seventy, old age
must begin very much earliei than the time at
which we have fixed it.
But is there a necessity that human life
should end at seventy ? History and experi
ence say no. There be rinny gay seniors as
lively at seventy as others are at fifty ; many
be stronger and better men. Is there any
comparison to be drawn between the lives of
the inferior, animals and of men, by which we
may judge of the averaga length of our own
BuSbn has told us that all tho larger animals
live about six or. seven times the space in
which they continue to grow. Others, and
those more scientific follow after him. have
reduced this to five times the length. But
the true data are here found compared and ar
ranged by other writers who have followed
Bufion and Cuvier. The length of life is a
multiple of the lengfh of growth, thus Man
grows twenty years, lives 90 or 100 years:
the camel grows 8 years and lives 40 t the
horse grows 5 years, lives 23 ; the lion grows
4 years, lives lo to 20 ; the ox grows 4 years,
lives 15 to twenty ; the dog crows 2 years,
lives 10 to 12; the cat grows 1 years, lives
8; and the guinea-piij grows 7 months, and
lives G or 7 years. The multipk here is 6.
Thns, by physical analogy, we shall find
that man grows for twenty years, and his nat
ural term of life should never he loss than one
hundred. Great prudence in living, immense
strength ot' constitution, and other circum
stances, should secure lor men even a longer
period of existence. But then we go to bed
late and rise late; wo strain our faculties,
misspend our youth, distress our minds, crib,
cabin and confine the body in the very nar
rowest limits, and then expect the body to en
dure all this, and when it suddenly grows old,
or succumbs, we put down tho fault at the
wide door of Xat-nre. Was there ever so il!o-
cical an animal as man ? Thtr :i r t hns,.

than we do.
m,. .10 .. .. .
luegrowiuoi man, or ratner the termina
tion of growth, is'very easily determined. The
true sign of the term of animal growth is to
be found in tho re-union ot tho bones to their
ephiphyses. So long as this union does not
take place, the animal continues to grow.. Any
person of an enquiring spirit, when picking a
chicken, can understand this truth. A certain
substance like gristle, of very elastic nature,
will be found at the end of each bono, and in
the very young is so far from being united,
that it comes away with the greatest possible
ease. This is not thorouzhlv united to the
bones of any animal, until it has ceased to
grow, in man, this is when be has reached
twenty years of age, and the law, therefore,
is not very wrong, when it fixes the term of
man attaining th-a rights and responsibilities
of manhood at twenty-one years of age.
Poets have told us that a man may hare
lived a very long life in a very short space.
The valne of time Is relative. With our in
creased means of speed, our manner of acquir
ing knowledge, aud our method of thought,
there is no doubt but that a man of thirty.
who has at school, college, and business, well
filled up his moments,, has lived longer than

cries one hero of our modern writers, "by the
calendar of years, you are the older man ; but
'tis the sun of, knowledge on the man's dial,
shining bright and chronicling thoughts and
deeds, that, make true time.
Aye,' ays
another, "we should count time by heart
beats,' he lives longest who knows' the most,
thicks tbe wisest, and acts the "best."., -.
Measured in this way. our poets and litera-
teur Jjare lired long j but in duration of time,
as we shall see, they have found that an ac
tive, earnest and sad existence has not con
ducted to its length. When Jacob was brought
before Pharaoh, that monarch, no : doubt
struck by his appearance, asked, IIow old
art thou J" And Jacob said unto Pharaoh,
"The days of the years of my pilgrimage are
an hundred and thirty years; few and evil
have the days and years of my life been, and
J have not attained to the days of the years
of my fathers in their pilgrimage." On lock
ing back, Jacob found one hundred and thirty
years a short life; he lived seventeen years-
after that. .
Compare with these years and with those
attained by other patriarchs, whom it would
bo superfluous to quote, the short days of our
great thinkers. Spencer died, aged 46; Mil
ton lived till he was G6; Thompson fill he was
48 ; Coleridge, till 62 ; Shakspeare,52; Keats,
21 ; Byron, aged only 8(i ; and Pope attained,
with his poor, emaciated, crooked little body,
50 ; while Gray lived just one year less ; and
the meditative, calm and religious Words
worth lingered on till he was eighty. Yet he
said ; t
Oh. but the good die Hist
And we, whose hearts are dry as summer's dust,
Burn to the socket. -
With due deference, with every tender re
collection for those gone before ns, we deny
this. It is a poet's thought, and that only.
Tho really good, the hard working in brain
and., heart, often lived till the end. Often
times the timid and tender-hearted turn to
the wall aud dies tho Frenchmen say, of
chagrin, when they, could they have lived on,
would have been a blessing to all around tbem.
Toppin-g Cun.v or Cutting it by tue Ground.
By topping corn . before it is ripe you pre
vent the corn from receiving that portion of
the elaborated nutritive sap which if would
nae receneu irom ine stalKs and leaves cut
off, had they not been separated from the
corn. On the other hand, by cu'ting corn by
the ground before the leaves and stalks be
como dry, and the corn fully ripe, and setting
it in shocks as soon as cut, the circulation o
the sap continues, until the stalks become dry
ana the corn improves m the shock. The
same thing is observed in wheat, by cutting i
before tho kernel is hard, and placing it in
shocks before it wilts, the wheat improves in
the sh ck and will mane more flour and of a
better quality than if it was allowed to stand
until the kernel was hard.
Wo have two objects in view when ween
corn by tho ground. Xaiucly, the preserva
tion of the corn and stalks from frost, which
frequently occurs before the corn is ripe, and
spoils corn and stalks. Whereas, if corn is
cut by the ground before the frost strikes it
both may be saved and be of good quality.
The corn growrin this section of the coun
try u noi so large in stalk and ear as that
grown further South, the stalks being smaller,
make bettor fodder, and are excellent for
tuilch cows, producing an increase of milk of
the richest quality for butter-making, and the
corn weighs more by tho bnshel than the
Southern corn. . ,
I have no doubt but that corn cut by the
ground before it is fully ripe, may not be quite
as heavy, but if it is well cured in the shock
it will be equal in quality, and the small loss
sustained in the weight will bo trifling when
compared with the loss of the corn, and the
stalks for fodder when the frost strikes it be
fore it is ripe. 'Surely if there should bo no
frost until the corn was fully ripe ; the corn
would be good, but t he stalks would be dry
and of little vaiue.V Finally, to sum np tho
whole matter, there is a certain state or con
dition at which coin may be cut by the ground,
and the diminution in the weight of the corn
will bear no comparison to the loss of the fod
der, if the corn was struck with lrost or al
lowed to stand until it was fully ripe, and the
stalks,' if well saved, will amply pay all the
cost id cultivation
I once planted two acres of corn, a part of
I it on the 8th, and part on the 10th of June.
It being so late in planting, I expected it
would be destroyed by frost. About the mid
dle of September there was a slight frost, but
not so severe as to materially damage the corn,
and fearing there would be a more severe
frost I immediately cut the corn by the ground
and shocked it. The corn at this time was
what we term glazed, and it ripened well in
the shock, produced forty bushels 'of shelled
corn to the acre, and the stalks proved to be
t excellent fodder, and tbe corn was of so good
quality that I had no difficulty in selecting the
best seed from it. At another time I had
corn struck with frost before it was cut, that
was equally as good before the frost came,
and both corn and stalks were spoiled. Coun

; THE FATE OF EALTIK0BE.
The Baltimore American says that the recent
rebel successes have wonderfully revived the
drooping hopes of the secessionists in that
city, and their countenances wore a smile of
triumph on th s streets, in view of the speedy
occpuation of the city by the Confederate:
armies. The American draws a picture of what
may be the lot of Baltimore before this takes
place, and then says : ; ' - s :
It may be i said that this is an ' overdrawn
picture, and that the city would be quietly
surrendered in case of the defeat ofthe Federal
army in a battle to be fought somewhat In the
midst of the fine country mansions and pala
tial retreats of Baltimore county. To suppose
such a quiet surrender shows a tolal ig
norance of all the rules and " purposes of
warfare, as well as of the great national inter
est involved in the possession of our city.
The possession of Baltimore by the' insurgents
would be virtually the capture of Washington
and triumph ofthe rebelion. Therefore when
ever the rebels strike for Baltimore the whole
power of the Nation will be here to meet them.
It will not only be a contest for tbe possession
of Baltimore, but will be the battle of Wash
ington, the Mttle of Richmond and the great
contest of the warcombined. When the Fed
eral lorces are compelled to evacuate they wil
not be in a disposition to leave anything of
value behind to fall into the hands of the ene
my, nor will they yield a quiet possession to
them so long as they hol t the harbor and forts
with several hundred heavy guns pointing in
this direction . 5 ; '- '.-''
AH those of our citizens, therefore, Who
are congratulating themselves over what they
consider the bright and hopeful prospect of
being "dcliverd" over to the mild and benifi
cent sway of Mr. Jefierson Davis, should re
fleet on the consequences of such a deliver
ance. Thesvj very persous, who imagine that
Baltimore would be quietly t surrendered, ap
plauded the destruction of Hampton, by Gen
eral Magruder, and when General .McClellan
was knocking at the gates of Kichmoud ap
proved the recommendation of the rebel press
mat ine city snouia be burnt rather than it
should bo surrendered to the possession of the
Federal troops. If Hampton was bnrnt to pre
vent its buildings being used for-hnspitals pnr
poses, why should Baltimore, with all its great
resources, be allowed to remain intact as
winter quarters for rebel troop ? Where there
was one substantial " military reason' for the
destruction of Richmond by the rebels, there
would be ten equally as strong for the de
struction of Baltimore rather than allow it
to fall into the hands of tbe insurgents.
We do not believe that the rebel army will
ever reach Baltimore, nor do we anticipate
that our city will ever be sacked by contend
ing armies. But we do believe and know
that tho deliverance for which disloyal sym
pathizers wish would bring upon ns ail, loyal
and disloyal, untold sufferings and ' immeas
urable sacrifices. We listen, therefore, with
something of horror to the man whoso " treas
onable sympathies have so far led both his
heart and his judgment astray as to wislfto
see our city the field of contest. lie ought to
know that war here is destruction to the city,
death and horror to its inhabitants, and that
even if occupied by the rebels it would not,
so long as the United States held possession
ol the water approaches, be otherwise than
the field of a constant struggle, with every
shifting of success, inflicting deep and inef
faceable injuries upon our beautiful city.
Truth. Every word of it. "We should
make it a principle to extend the hand of fel
lowship to every man who discharges faith
fully his duties and maintains good order
who manifests a deep interest in the welfare
of general society whose deportment is up
right, and whose mind is intelligent without
stopping to ascertain whether . he strings a
hammer or draws a thread. , There is nothing
so distant from alf natural claims as the re
luctant, the backward sympathy, the forced
smile, the checkered conversation, the hesita
ting compliance, the well off are apt to mani
fest to those a little lower down, with whom
in comparison of intellect and principles of
virtue,they frequently sink into insignificance.
True EoccATroK. Educate your children
to activity, to enterprize, to fearlessness in
what is right, and to cowardice in what is
wrong. Educate them to mark for themselves
the noblest purposes of life, and then to fol
low them out. Educate them to despise suf
fering that stands in the way of ' the accom
plishment of many aim's, and count it as a lit
tle thing. Make them free by lifting them up
into the storms of life, and not by covering
them with soft and downy plush. '
A Good Joke. Referring to a typographical
error in an announcement of a recent meeting
in which Judge Russel of Boston was to parti
cipate, he said on rising to make his speech,
that "he had( red in . the papers that .Mr.
Judge Russell was to preside at the meeting.
But he had left her at home , in charge of a
small body of infantry., and, unable to come
herself, she bad sent a feeble detachment from

No Sacrifice is too Great to Save the
CorxTRr. Mr. Forney, in a letter to the
Prea, dated September 2d. uses the follow
ing emphatic language : .As I have said, our
poncy nereaiter must be a policy of concen
tration and power. It is not so much that we
occupy towns and strong-holds we must an
nihilate the rebel army, and utterly destroy
every source of its strength and perpetuity.
Richmond is nothing to us ; in comparison.
Norfolk and Nashville are mere collections of
bouses, w hich ' have no advantage beyond a
collection of houses In Massachusetts and Mis
souri, in taking Richmond we must utterlv
destroy the rebel force and then Richmond
is taken. Let us adopt the Roman sentiment
"where there is solitude, there is peace"
let us make our war a war of destruction and
extermination. . Placing the Republic above
all earthly considerations, let all earthly things
perish that it maybe preserved.' Let there
be flame and blood-shed, and barren lands,
villages desolated, and every . evidence of
prosperity destroyed ; let every negro le
emancipated ; let the whole South be a desert,
but let the Republic be preserved. These
new disasters only intensify this fearful prayer
in the heart of every loyal man. Let ns con
Jess ttinl this war is nothing less than a war for
empire. This race must control the continent
of America. There can be no rivalries in the
authority. We may separate to-day, but our
children will curse us for it hereafter. Far
better to pass through the ordeal now, and
come forth, chastened and triumphant, than,
by mistaken policy and false ideas of military
or political belief, to leave behind us a conn
try equalled only by Mexico in its weakness,

Another Democrat on the War. fien
John A. McClernand had a reception at Spring
iiem, amnois, on saturuay last. He was a
waited at the depot by tho Governor, Mayor
iiunnngton, Auditor Dubois, Treasurer But
Ier, and other prominent gentleman, and con
ducted to ti e capitol building. The Ilecker
regiment, under tbe command ofthe Lieuten
ant Colonel, formed tho escort. Durinz the
progress of the procession through the streets
the General was saluted with cheers, waving
oi nais, iianaKercmeis, &c. At the south
door of the capitol Gov. Yates introduced the
General in a neat speech, in which ho leelins
ly and forcibly alluded to the military ser
vices of tire General. His remarks were high
ly applauded- General McClernand rose and
was saluted w ith hearty cheering. He made
a very able speech, strongly in favor of the
war and of using all available means to bring
it to a successful termination. He denounced
all who supported the government with an "if"
or a "but" as hypocrites, and no better than
the rebels. It was in fine ac out and out, war
speech, as strong as that of Gov. Yates at
Chicago. At the part where th i General said
inat ne. was lor using every means, negroes
inciuaea, lor putting down the rebellion, the
appiaine was most marked. .; .
A HeroI One brigade of the enemy, led bv
an officer in our uniform, came up quietly
and so near our troops after nightfall they
could not be discovered as enemies or friends.
Ihey stood a lew moments, when our General
ti i'i, ".ire j u enemies or iriends l tell me,
or I II fire. N answer. A Colonel of one of
our regiments then proposed to determine
who they were, and went within a few feet of
them, when be said : "If you are friends, you
win answer me, and if vou are my enemies.
you will not shoot me, but take me prisoner."
At this moment he discovered that they were
a brigade of rebels, and cried back,i"They are
enemies, General," and at the same instant
they poured a deadly volley, which did fatal
execution to a number of our brave soldiers
Let the name of this Colonel be written in
our diaries, that the historian may report it to
me coining generation. It is the name of
one of the unforgotten brave, and its verv
sound will. inspire kindred souls with like no
ble self-devotion and sublime heroism.
Socthers Societv. The rebels have two
extremes of Southern society. The wealthy
slave owner, and the vicious and debauched
men, reckless of everything honest or honor
able, as desperate as pirates, and about as con
scientious. The union men are a different
class, aud may lie called tho respectable, well-
to-do people, who have everythina to gain bv
peace and quiet and everything to lose by vi
olence. They are not, therefore, a demon
strative class, and have, hence, been over
powered in all of the Southern States, by the
reckless violence of tho classes before named.
They were originally ti e majority, but have
been subdued and have quietly submitted to

Gen. Carl Schl rz. A staff officer of Gen.
Siegel'8 says that the loss of Gen. Schurz in
the late battle will amount to nearly one-half
of his command. In the battle on Friday, in
which the corps of Gen. Siegel' fought from
the commencement to the close, Gen. Schurz
had the mo-t difficult tasks assigned to him.
He charged npon masked batteries, supported
by infantry, three times without suffering the
least panic in his division." "It was not until
Gen. Siegel discovered that be was not being
reinforced, that he ordered : Gen.- Schurz to
fallback. Gen. Schurz is said to have led
his men admirably, and to have displayed sol
dierly qualities of tbe highest order.

the Eighth K enf ucky Cavalry, has just arrived
from Rnssellville, and reports that on Sunday
evening a portion of General Grant's forces
from Fort Donelson drove a body of rebels,
consisting of three hundred guerillas with,
about one hundred and fifty citizens of Clarkes-
ville, from their rifle-pits at Providence, three
miles from Clarkesvillo. The Federals shell- "
edthem out when they took refuge in a cane.
We then shelled them out of that when they
resorted to a dwelling' and again they were
shelled out. They then entered Clarkesville
when the citizens associated with the Rebels
laid aside their arms and resumed their civil
associations.- We then took possession of

curred on tho 2d instant, at Plymouth, North
Carolina, where a body of fourteen, 'hundred
rebels, onder Cel. Garrett,' were met and en
gaged by a Union force of three hundred men,
under Orderly Sergeant Green, of Hawkins'

ing parties.1 After a battle of one hour's dura
tion, the rebel rank.i were broken and they re
treated in" disorder, leaving their command
