For the Age,
SUCH Is LIFE.

JOY is mingled with our sorrow;
Pleasure mingled with our pain !
We are sad to-day-to-morrow
Brings us hope Of JOY again,
And thus till time is past like THIS,
Will prove this life of ours;
For pain and sorrow follows bliss,
As sunshine follows showers.
As tho showers have their mission,
So does the evening dew;
The trees and flower that blossom,
The clouds and sunshine, too.
As ofvast account the darkness,
That preccdcs the dawn Of light;
We could not live without the clouds,
Tha, hide the sun from sight.
The flowers uc'cr would blossom
Without the dew and rain,
lit was always sunshine,
They would not bloom again
Then let MS learn lesson
From the sunshine and showers,
The trees and flowers that blossom,
To brighten this world of ours
We know the sun still shines above,
The clouds that bear the rain,
Sc may we see cur Fathers love,
Through sorrow ard through pain,
Then let us give to Him all praise,
And with submission bow
So that our life in all its ways
Nnr nrnccfnl Lie hC,Nw.

WE begin now to understand somewhat more clearly
than before the position Of things in Maryland and the
character and causes Of the battles Of Sunday and Mon
day last.
jackson bad crossed the Potomac into Virginia at
point above Harpers Ferry and Longsreet at point
below on the Maryland SIDE completed its investment
D. H HIPS corps held position with the view OF pre-
venting cry assistance being gent to the bceeguered
Iorces.
Mcclellan WAY anxious TO relieve General White at
IIarpers Ferry, and with this view he attacked Hills
CORPS with the view of overwhelming them and clearing
the road to Harpcr5 Ferry and to junction with the
forces there. Though Mcclellan handled Hill pretty
fbughly, yet he failed 10 his purpose. Harpers Ferry
was not relieved but was forced to surrender at the
very time that TiIIg division was holding McUlelanS
army in check Our communications with Maryland
are now through the Valley Of Virginia, the enemy
having been completely driven cut Of that section.
The theatre Of is now on the north side OF the
Potomac the recent battles having been fought between
Harper's Ferry and Hagerstown. After the capture
Of Harpars Ferry and the forces there, jackson no
doubt crossed again into Maryland and united himself
to the other portion Of cur army under General Lee
The fights of Sunday and Monday were defensive on
our part They were brought on by Mcclellan, who
sought to make bis way 70 Harpcr's Ferry. d. IL
Hill held bis position with The view Of preventing com
muuication, which he Gid.
The fights Of Wednesday and Thursday last would
appear to have been offensive operations on Our part
Horpers Ferry had fallen there wes no longer an enc
my ia the CT On tue flank OF our army, and Gen
Lee could now assume his own position
As the forces Of both armies are concentrated il
Maryland the operations there must be Of the most i'm
portant and decisive character. SO far The telegraph
repors decided advantage for the Confederate arms
which we trust viii be maintained, for cannot SUP
pose but hat The contest viii be resumed and contioo
Cd.
We deeply panied TO hear Of The death Of Genera
Branch OF this State No officer in the army had don
better service no man had more completely oVercom
al the rrejodiccs aeaycd against him than Genera
Branch. lie was rising rapidly into fame and reput'
ton which he shared with his gallant little brigade.

TIE news to-day is Of such a mixed character and
wha 50 vague that it is difficult to form any clenr cs
innate Of It as whole or to speculate upon the proba'
BILE results Of part or the probable course Of future
movements.
Candor Compel5. US, however to say that the impress
sion it makes is less satisfactory than any which VIC
have received for some months past. 1t warns Us that
cherished hopes must be postponed indefinitely If not
abandoned That for this time the redemption of Mary
land must watt even if Maryland herself ready for it.
and we fear that enough has been seen to cast serious
doubts upon that point That there are good men and
