Mn. EDIToR:-Therc was a short agri-
cultural item copied by number of pa
pers Just before haying the present year,
which purported to be the grand discov-
cry, that the reason why Herds grass, or
Timothy "run out" was its being cut be-
low the first joint, allowing the water to
fill the hollow stalk and thus kill the
bulb Upon this subject, | would say
that in the record of creation it says, 1.-THE
earth brought forth grass and herb yield
ing seed after his kind and observa-
ton also teaches us that nearly all veget-
alton propagates its kind by seeds, and if
cut down in its early growth, before its
seed is maturcd it will Immediately
sprout and try again; but if the seed is
ripe when cut. the plant seems to have
accomplished the design of nature and
rests or dies. For proof of this we. find
that all kinds of grass, bushes and this
tics are more likely to die when cut in
August or September when their growth
for the year is nearly done but cut hard
wood trees in Spring and they sprout with
. great rapidity. The roots of grain stalks
almost uniformly die, but if you allow
cattle to cat some of the growing grain
before it blossoms, you will see it sprout
from the bottom and try again to mature
its seed. will mention case more to
the point.
A farmer had field sown with oats
which also produced great crop of kale
Or wild turnip, which was all cut down
when the kale was in blossom, and the
oats nearly ready to head out. This
crop was cut for fodder. The oats
sprOuted from the root, grew and produced
a fair crop of grain. The straw OF the
last crop was rather short.
Herds grass follows nearly the same
laws. 1t is propagated by seed, and il
allowed to mature before cutting. are very
apt die though there will be many roots
that will send up new shoots, and it the
land is very rich, will give a large and
vigorous growth the following year. Il
the seed is allowed to fall as nature inten
ded, there will be such multitude Of
new plants that the old ones would nevel
be missed. If the grass is removed fol
hay, the land must be sown again in
few years; unless in the place of the grass
which has shaded the bulbs, there II
spread a good coat of manure which pre-
vents the sun from drying the roots, ant
also affords abundant nourishment to th'
sprouts that do start and insures a growth
of grass year after year without mucl
'diminution. 1t is nearly impossible t.
cut herds grass below the first joint, a
all can see by examination, so we can fin'
no excuse for slovenly moving.

THE STORY OF LIFE,

BY JOHN q. sAXE.
Saw. what is life? 'Tis to be born;
A helpless babe, to greet the light
With sharp wall, as if the morn
Foretold cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep, and weep again,
with sunny smiles between and then?
And then apace the infant grows
To be laughing, pulling boy,
IIappy, despite his little woes.
Were he but conscious of hisjoy;f
To be, in short, from two to ten,
A merry, moody child ; and then?
And then, in coat and trowsers clad.
To learn to say the Decalogue,
And break it ian unthinking Lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog;
truant oft by field and fen
To capture butterflies and then?
And then increased in strength and size,
To be- anon, Youth full grown;
A hero In MS HlOtncr eyeS,
young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sins and then?
And then, at last, to be a man; ...
To fall in love to woo and wed;
With seething brain to scheme and plan;
TO gather gold, or toll for bread:
To sue or fame with tongue or pen,
And gain or loose the prize ;and then?
And then in gray and wrinkled Ed
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
TO praise the scenes his youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of Lang-Syne;
To dream awhile with darkened ken.
Then drop into his grave ;and then?

FREDERICK, Sept. IL. Frederick is ours The
first of our forces entered the east end ui the

Gen. Pleasanton, entered The city by way of

A few cavalry from tie command OF Gen.
Stuart, and the Hampton Legion, madea charge
upon our troops, when the latter entered. but
the enemy were speedily repulsed. Our loss
was two killed and SIX wounded, while the rebels
suffered at least to that extent.
The reception of our forces was of most en-
thusastic character. The entire city WIS over

welcome our forces. Along the streets through
which our forces passed, flags were waved from
housotops and windows, and the sidewalks were

Our war news is considerably " mi1ed,' though
j seems on the whole to be favorable from Mary
and, Pennsylvania and Ohio. We cannot say SO
much, however, Of Western Virginia, where we
seem to have suffered severely from an advance
Of the rebels, in the kanawha Valley.
The main rebel force recently in Maryland
seems to have re.crossed the Potomac into Vir-
GINA, without any serious loss. We have some
apprehensions of bad news, from our troops on the
Virginia side, but hope for the best. In the mean
time it is pleasant to know that Washington, Har-
risburgn and Baltimore are safe.
