THE STORY OF LIFE.

Gay, what 10 life! 'Tis to be born
A helpless babe, To greet the light
With sharp vail, as IL the morn
FOreto d = cloudy noon and night
TO weep, TO sleep, aud weep again.
With sunny snilss between and then!
And then apaee the infant groWs
To be laughing, puIinS boy,
Happy, despite HE little woes,
Were he but conscious Of his joyj
Te Be, In short, from two to ten,
4 merry moody child and then!
And then, In coat and trowsers clad,
To learn to say the decalogue,
And break Ii an unthinking lad,
With miIth and mischief all agog;
4 truant OF y held aud fen
To capture BUTTERFLIES and then!
AND then increased in strength and siEs,
To be anon, . youth full &, own;
4 hero IN HE mothers eyes.
A young ApOllo in his own;
To initiate the wayS of men
In fashionable Sius and then!
And then Mt last to be . 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 for fame with tongue or pen,
Aud gain or lOse the prize; and THIN?

the increased population, we showed that, and
proved 1t coneusiyely in our last by comparing the
population of the two States Of Rhode Island and
Delaware. Now letuslook at the second statement
the enhanced value ofthe lands. We will take the
same States, and see how they compare in that re-
gard. According to the last census taken in 1860,
we find that the value of the real estate Of Rhode
Island was $50, .2O4--whie that Of Delaware was
$2e,273sO3, so that Rhode Island with ss5,s4O
acres was worth 500 q cents per acre--end Della
ware with 1,S56,SO0 acres was worth only Sls.S6
cents per acre. so that it takes Eve acres of Della
ware land to equal in value Of Rhode Island
an this also in the face ofthe fact that the soil of
Delaware is naturally better than that Of Rhode
Island which is only moderately fertile, being rough
and difficult of cultivation Then take the next OBJ
iecton-that we will soon be overrun with the negro
population If the emancipation policy succeeds
Now those who say 50 do not believe tit is mere
subtsffage, to try to naamc the prejudiees Of the
people, 1t is contrary to experiences for there has
not been single State that has adopted that policy
heretofore, whore the free negro population has in
increased beyond its increase beforej but on the
contrary we find it often to actually diminish, and
that to- whore there were no legal prohibitors for
their immigration. For instance take the great
State of New York, a state near on the border, we
find that while the increase in thewhold population
of the State between the years Of is5sand 1859 was
7sS.S4I inhabitants, that there was an actual de
crease of the colorod population Of 81 in the State
during that period SO is manifest that that argu-
ment is fallacious, and cannot be substantiated by
facts The facts are against those who use the ar
guments, and they know it, and thesooner the pee
pie ohc State of Delaware open their eyes to their
real interest and place the little diamond" along
with her natural sisters, where she will be allowed
to shine as she should the better The people ought
to forget their old hurfu preqdices and rise above
them, and stop listening to the few demagogues,
who for the sake of keeping p power would ruin
the State, and deceive the peoples and raise at once
the banner Of Freedom, around which all good men
would rally wemight further the two states
in point of schools and education to show the great
advantage the one has the other, but for fear o
putting my native State in too unenviable Ugh

wAsnrNoroS, Sept, 26.-The army of the
Potomac is in motion transports are loading
with great activity at Alexandria, and it is
expected that o considerable body OF forces
will embark with as little delay as possible
Their destination can only be conjectured.
Meantime their is equal activity shown in
the forwarding Of troops in another direction,
The Governments has taken possession of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and no more
travel for civil purposes is allowed upon it.
Some important movement is contemplated
on the line Of this great thoroughfare.
1t is currently said here's and such, in fact,
is the purport Of the information that we re
ceive from various sources--thatthe reinforce
ments sent off to the help Of Bragg against
General Rosecrans have left Richmond almost
aefenceless There is but handful of troops
remaining for the security Of the rebel capital
