What is Life /?

"What is Life ?' Fond youth replied
"1is spnlt sea, with o flowing tide.
Where the waves are as bright as the skies
above,
And the barqne is guided by Hope and Love
While the song Of birds, and the breath Of
flowers.
Make glad the fight of the golden hours.'
'Whot is Lie ~ Stern manhood .ald
. 'Iis a grave whore early hopes lie dead,
A tomb with faded garIands dcckd,
A lcc-shorc where the heart is wrcck'd
While the sad deep knell Of bYgonc time
Peals on the soul like funeral chime.'
"What is Life ~ Old age drew near,
With tottering limbs aud snow white hair,
And said, " ":Tis q journey drear and cold,
Where death full oft doth spare the old,
To wander alone from day to day.
When al they loved have passed away"
';What is Life q A small still voice,
Replying, made my beart rejoice:
";Tis the night before that glorious day,
When doubt and fear shall pass away,
hnd tho tears OF the mouIncr small fall no
more,
In the calm roposc of the heavenly shore"

PLEAsIN& INclDENT.-At the fu-
neral Of Il little babe in New Sharon.
a few days since, says the Gospel Bur
ncr, circumstance occurred remarka-
DIy cheering and suggestive:
The child, all beautifully robed for
the grave, was laid in its coffin on the
morning Of its burial.
The weeping friends placed in its lit
tie hand Il small boquot Of flowers in
which was ;n unopen'd rosebud Of the
Rose Of Sharon The lid was then
placed upon the coffin, and the funeral
services porformcd.-Whcn after the
lapse Of net more than two hours, the
coffin WAS opened again and the friends
gathered around to look upon it for
the last time, that bud had become u
full blown rose, while claspel in the
cold hand Of death. 1t seems rs thouga
a voice came up from those beautifully
sealed lips saying, Weep not for me
though broken from the parent stem. l
am blooming in the paradise of God"
Millions Of infant souls compose the
family above.

THE DESTRUCTION OF NORFOLK NAVY

LETTER FROM COMMODORE PAULDlNG.
10 t.e Ediio5,Q i ne " y Erssng Po"
SIR: H. IL "A part OF the history OF the tiihes III
which wo live, that in April last was sent from
Washington to the Navy-Yard at Norfolk on spe'
cal duty, The performance Of which has recently
been made subject Of inyesiightion, aud have
considered It of sufficient importance to myself and
interest TO my friends, that should convey through
the public press, such statement as may enable
thoee who ore unbiased to arrive at just conclusions.
With no other object in view be8 that You VIII be
pleased TO give place in your columns TO the fol-
lowing which will illustrate the whole proceeding:
On the 18th Of April last i was filling place IN
the Navy Department, when was informed by inc
Secretary Of the Navy that it was deemed OF great
Importance to remove the ships Of the Government
then in q condition TO be manned from the Navy
Yard at Norfolk 10 Northern port AT tho same
time lie indicated his wish that should perform that
service, and destroy what public property could
no, secure from falling into the hands OF the enemy
While my instructions were being prepared, sent
officers to New. York and Philadelphia for steamers,
and named the officers available in Washington 10
command and officer the ships to be removed.
At this time the Capital was almost defenseless,
and IT will be recorded as the darkest period OF the
Republic.
The Department and the President consented with
reluctance 10 the absence Of the Pawnee, tho only
available steamer for the service her presence being
necessary for the defense Of Washington; and II war
especially enoined upon me TO return with the least
possible delay consistent with the service TO be per-
formed.
On the day following my departure from Wash
ington April II. arrived at fcrtres. Monroe IN the
PIwpee: at p. m. took OH board a detachment OF
volunteers, and sailed at ?. M, arriving a, the
/ Navy Yard at p. N.
TO my great surprise the ships had been sent e
remove had been scutled, and were far filled witt
water that they codld not be saved. They had beer
scuied two hours after my arrival at Fortress Mon
roo and The great shears Of the Yard cut away-jus
about the tine that information could have been con
yeyed 10 the Nayy-Yard Of my arrival ut Fortress
Monroe which is not the lea remarkable part OF ih'
trsnsacton. One principal object Of my visit TO ih
