Age.

But few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passional, mental, or
bodily toll or accident. The passions
kill men sometimes, even suddenly
The common expression, choked with
passion, has little exaggeration in it; for
even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shortens life. Strong bodied
men often die young-weak men live
longer than the strong, for the strong use
their strength, and the weak have none
to use The latter take care Of them
selves; the former do not. AS it is with
! the body so it is with the mind and TEN
per. The strong are apt to break, or
| like the candle, to run; the wick burn out.
The inferior animals, which live in general
regular and temperate lives have gener-
ally their prescribed term of years. The
horse lives twenty five years; the OK fif-
teen or twenty the lion about twenty; the
dog ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; the
guinea-pig six or seven years. These
numbers all bear similar proportion to
the time the animal takes to grow its full
size. But man, of all the animals, is the
one that seldom comes NJ to his average.
He ought to live hundred years, accor-
ding to his physiological law, for five
times twenty are one hundred; but instead
Of that he scarcely reaches on the average
four times his growing period; the cat
six times; and the rabbit even eight, the
standard Of measurement. The reason is
obv:ous--man is not only the most ir-
regular and the most Incorporate, but
the most laborious and hard working Of
all animals. He is also the most irri-
table of all animals; and there is reason
to believe though we cannot tell what ami
NAL secretly feels, that more than any
other animal, man cherishes wrath to keep
it warm and consumes himself with the
fire of his own secret reflections.

one man in the maintenance Of that Govern.
ment under whose flag we have been reared, and
under whose broad acgs We have enjoyed "liie
and liberty" and have been protected in "the
pursuit Of happiness"
The memories Of Washington, whose name
is house hold word and Of a host Of others, his
companions In arms, call upon us 10 be true ~
sacred trust, and 10 hand down unimpaired TO
those who shall come after us, the iieh legacy
which has been entrusted ~ us. Let us be true
TO God, true 10 the memory Of our fathers and
true 10 ourselves and ~ posterity. Bu, while in
fidelity 20 all these we obey the voice Of stern
necessity let not in the heat of conflict forget
that for which we are contending, and that once
attained, let the sword be again returned TO its
scabbard. All else will soon follow.
And while we retr ember that IL is not foreign
foe with which the Government IL contending but
with her own errAg cons, let her hot carry into
the strife the feeling Of hatred, but rather that
commngng Of love and grief with which faith
er chastiscs his crring and refractory son 10 en-
force parental authority, and TO secure amend
ment And let us not forget that on our revol.
ted territory, there are many who have buhsted
long the swelling tide Of rebellion and have
fought manfully, N bly, for the Government, tho
Union, the Constitution and the laws, many
whose warmest sympathies are with us, and whose
hearts are true to their countrys colors and bca,
in unison with our own. Let them have the strong
of their warm, generous, and true hearts.
While "the government must arm, and that il
manner commensurate with its vast resources
and becoming the priceless interests coufded u
It's keeping ;--becoming great, generous, ant
forbearing people, and becoming the lamentabl'
occasion p yet, let ait put its armor for pres
ervation, not for destruction not for aggressive
war, but for defensive peace;" remembering tina
peace throughout its entire domain is what Il
wants, mot for subiugation or coercion but to ar
rest tumult, lawlessness and discord not TO des
poll others, but to keep its own, TO maintain the
supremacy Of the Constitution, and to vindicate
the laws, 70 put down insurrection, and to repel
INVASION to maintain the power and dignity of
the nation and preserve its flag invioate; TO save
if saved il can be- the Union, already discovered,
from the final overthrow and destruction with
which it is menaced." This done all will be well
In this time of our troubles let God be our trust
and our place of defense the munition of rocks.
We can say of our fathers as Israel of old. OF
the, .'our fathers trusted in thee they trusted,
and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto
theirs, and were delivered: they trusted in thee
and were not confounded."

OCclsDatiOn.

What q glorious thing it is for the hu-
man heart. Those who work hard sell
dom yield themselves up to the fancled
or real sorrow. When grief sits down,
folds its hands, and mournfully feeds up
on its tears, waving the dim shadows
that little exertion might sweep away
into a funeral pail. The strong spirit is
shorn of its might, and sorrow becomes
our master. When troubles flow upor
you, dark and heavy, toll not with the
waves--wrestle not with the torrents
rather seek by occupation, to divert thu
dark waters that threaten to overwheIn
YOU, into a thousand channels which the
duties of life always present Before
you dream of it, those waters will tertii
ize the present, and give birth to fresh
flowers that may brighten the future
flowers that will become pure and holy
in the sun shine which penetrates to th'
path of duty. in spite of every obstacle
Grief after all, is selfish feeling anC
most selfish is the man who yields him
selfto the indulgence of any passion whicl
brings no Joy to his fellow men.

The state ofthe War.

The defense Of Washington is amply
provided for; force Of "a, 300 men is
now located in the capitol and its vicinity
all within three hours march OF the city.
But still further reinforcement is con.
TEN plated, and it is decided that within
a few days there shall be an army of 40
900 men in and around Washington, to
secure the control of the Potomac and the
Chesapeake. At the same time force
Of from 10, 600 to $1,000 men will be con-
centrated at cairo and the same number
at St. Louis, to protect the Mississippi
river, and repel any attacks which may
be made upon exposed points in South
ern Illinois. and suppress secession move
ments in Missouri and Arkansas. A force
Of %, 900 troops is to be shipped on trans
ports under the convoy Of men Of war, at
the earliest possible moment, to harass
the rebel forces in the Gulf States, and ex.
haust their energies by compelling them
to move from point to point, and thus
prevent their advance North. The wal
is thus evidently to be carried into AT.
rica.' 1t is designed also to further re.
mforoe Fort Pickens from this feet.

Touch Ca bbage.

The following good one is told Of a
rum un' who was in the habit of coming
home hungry after his evening potations
One night, besides his usual dish o.
cabbage and pork, his wife had left 6
washing bowl filled with caps and starch
The lamp had long been extinguished
when the stggcring sot returned home
and by mistake, when proceeding to sat
isfy his hunger, he stuck the fork into th'
wrong dish He worked away at hi
mouthful of caps for some time, but be
ing unable to maSticate them he sung on
ont to his wife:
Old woman where did you get your
cabbage! They are so stringy that 1 can t
chew them.
My gracious!' rcniied the old lady i
the stupid old fellow hasn't been eating
up my caps that put in the starch over
night

Tue EFFECT OF Shot ON VTssELs,-
A shct does not make hole fits own
size right through wood, but indcnts it,
the fbers springing back after the shock,
oenera1y, the course Of shot can only be
traced by wire sometimes hole as large
as mans finger. The damage most often
happens in the inside of vessel, in splin-
tering and breaking the wood after the
main force OF the shot was spent, Forts
Hamilton and Richmond, which are
about mile part with a vessel lying be-
tween them, could not, with their guns,
send shot through two feet ofits timber
There is rarely an instance where ship
was sunk by solid shot. Hot shots and
shells do the mischief The latter will
sometimes make aperturos of several e.
in extent through the side Of the vessels.

TIE CAITTAL OF FLomDA.-Tallehas-

the Charleston Courier, although having
a population of only two thousand five
hundred, and destitute, withal, Of COM
mercial advantages beyond it's local trade
is, nevertheless, one of the most refined
and elegant cities of the South. Here
are gathered many retired business men,
merchants and planters, bringing with
them all the wealth. luxury and taste Of
many years garnering up.$Style pre-
dominates to a great extent. Handsome
equipages with liveried servants, and ele-
gantly dressed occupants, meet You at
every turn, and you wonder at seeing all
this in the bosom efa country not yet
developed, and scarcely known to the
world.

WHAT VIRGINIA SAVED AT NoRFoLK.-'
4 letter from we'll Informed and relia-
bic gentleman at Norfolk informs the Bal
timore San that the Virginians succeeded
in saving much more property and amuni-
ton of war from the destructive hand Of
the Northern troops, than has heretofore
been supposed. He says there were two
sloops Of war secured, one Of them uninju-
red; an immense quantity of artillery,
shot and shell, and powder sufficient to
supply all thestate for considerable time.
The value of the whole property TINS res
cned amounts at fair estimate to about
FIVE millions Of dollars.

in Crispin's gentle craft With this
machinery, twenty-five persons produce
six hundred pairs of children's shoes dali

ratus inserts the awl, cuts ont the pegs
from q slip of wood as they are needed
and drives them in so rapidly that it will
peg two rows around the sole Of a shoe

ton. A raw calfskin is taken in at the
basement Of the building, and in half an
hour is turned ont in the form OF shoes

Truth.

Plato asserted that if Truth were to
come down from heaven, and display it
self in all its glory upon earth, all men
would instantly fall down aad worship
it. What Plato stated as a hypothesis,
inspired history records as fact. Truth
came down from the skies, beauty and
perfection; neither hell nor earth were able
to detect flaw in it; but so, false proved
the prophecy of the learned and accom-
plishod philosopher that the world rose
up against it, and shouted in voice OF
thunder: Away with him; cruelty him,
Not this man but Barabbas"

SYRUP FROM WATERMELoNs-EIGH-
TEEN BARRELS TO THF AcRE--A man in
Ross Coutny, Ohio, states that he had
made last season, from water melons
grown on one acre of ground, eighteen
barrels of syrup, which sold for soc. q
gallon-giving s460 for the acre Of land
and the labor. The process is as follows:
Take only the soft part of the melon rub
i.through wire seive in to barrel then
strain out the juice in to a copper kettle,
just as you would cider or maple sugar,
water, aud be careful not to scorch it when
nearly done.

There is not sin. crime. wrong, or bad

Are filled with doubt and fear.
While horrid sounds of discord
Are greetings on our ear.
