BY JOHN e. “111111111.
Up from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear' 1n the cool September room,
The clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the hills of Maryland.
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach tree fruited deep,
Fair as a garden of the Lord V
To the eyes of the furnished rebel horde,
On that pleasant mom of the early fall
When Lee marched over the mountain-wall—
Over the mountains winding down,
Horse and foot, into Frederick town.
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped 1n the morning wind, the sun
Of noon looked down, and saw not 0110.
Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;
Bravest of all in Frederick toivn.
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the 111111 she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet.
Up the street .came the rebel tread,
Stonewall Jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
He glanced : the old flag met his sight.
“ Haltl”—the dust-brownranks stood fast.
“Fire. l"—out blazed the rifle-blast.
It shivered the window, pane and sash;
It rent the banner with seam and gash.
Quick, as it- fell from the broken stafi,
'. 91.111911111111116 snatched the simmer! ;
8116 Issued lbr'out on-the windowidllfifi‘l“; i
And shook it forth with a royal Will. 93111":
“81160“! you must, this gray oldi how," '.
But spare your country’s fiag,”1he-"aid.l
A shade of sadness, a blush of shame,
Over the face of the leader came;
The nobler nature within hini‘stirred
To life at that woman’s deed and word :
. “ Who touches a hair of you gray head
Dies'like adog! March ,on i" he said.
All day long through. Frederick street
Sounded the tread of marching feet :
All day long that tree flag tossed
Over the heads of the rebel-host.
Ever its torn-folds rose and fell
0n the loyal 'winds that loved it well ;
And through the hill-gaps sunset light
Shone over it with a warm goOd-‘night.
Barbara Frietehie’ 1 11.311111 0’ er,
And the rebel rides on his raids no more.
Honor to her and let a tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall’s bier.
Over Barbara Frietchie’s gravd'
Flag of Freedom and Union 'wave. 1
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law ,
And over the stars above look dowrr
On thy stars below at Frederick townl
Atlantic for October.

It was a rainy morning, in August I
had five tons of hay down, and it was
‘morrally certain,’ as Mr. Spooner says,
when he' rs putting a thing strong, there
was nothing to do but set in “10201189,
1111’ see things grow. There' is ”311111 sob
isfactiou' in that, and blessed is 1111111111
who has his fields and meadows where he
can see them from his ' window. I have
seen some rather handsome pictures down
in 5.1.1. city in the Academy, and other
places, but there are none to compare
with the view from my dining room win-
dow. There lies spread out before me,
looking as smooth as. Mr. Olmotosdls
lawn inyour. Central Park that you think
so much of; and just beyond, a four core
field of corn, in full tassel and spindle;
and beyond that, a side bill covered with
