urged him on with great vehemence.
Once he sent to ask King Hrolf to excuse
nil1, from paying skat during three years, and
the fourth year he was to bring the tribute
for four Hrolf Krake agreed to this. But
Hjorvard secretely spent the money in col
lectng men of renown and men strong in bat
tie and at last he went to Leidre and plant
ed his tent out side the walls. Hrolf paid
no attention, for he thought that Hjorvard
had come with the skat, and he dreamed not
that treachery lurked so near.
So he ate and drank and sang blithesome
songs till late at night, and then all retired to
their beds. But presently Haiti, the wise OF
head, went forth. The moon was shining,
and the Ice-Gord quivered in its glory like
molten silver There was clink Of arms in
the booth of Hjorvard and dark figures were
stealing along in the tree shadows, making
circle around the hall. When the moon
touched their weapons they flashed like
northern lights.
Haiti walked back to the hall door, for he
saw that treachery was intended; and when
he stood in the door, half in the moon, halt
in the shade, he lifted mp his voice and began

The President Visits Gen. Grant.

The President left Washington on Monday
last to visit Gen. GRANT on the James river
4 gentleman who is an old and intimate friend
of the President states that in a recent con-
versarion with him in regard to the campaign
Mr.. LINCOLN, while expressing great solcitude,
avowed the highest confidence in Gen. 0SAST
military ability and declared that he shouio
have the utmost aid and cooperation IN the
power of the administration to extend to him.
Mr.. Lincoln, in the course OF the CONVERSE
ton spoke feelingly and with deep emotion OF
the patriotic fidelity and generous liberaiity OF
the Northern people, as exhibited IN their
contributions of men and money Tor the
maintenance of the nations honor and pow
err "Such people," remarked Mr.. Lin
coin, "can never fail, and they deserve, ana
will receive, the proudest place in the history
of nations" He also very feelingly alluded
to the confidence that the loyal people mani
fest in him. 81 do my best to deserve this,
he remarked, "but tremble at the RESPONSE
| bility that devolves upon me, weak, mortal
man, to serve such great and generous peo-
pie, in such place as hold, in such an au-
| full crisis as this is-it is terrible response
| bility, but it has been imposedupon me with
out my seeking, and trust Providence has
wise purpose for me to fulfill by appointing
me to this charge, which is almost too much
| for weak mortal to hold"
General Grant has several times, since the
| opening of the present campaign, urged the
| President to visit him at his headquarters IN
| the field. but he has not until now had time
to do So He will probably, be absent from
| Washington over week.

The bluebird's slenderer song
Brown meadows and the russell hill,
Not vet the haunt of srazins a.
And thickets by the glimme Ting riA'
Are all alive with birds
4 Choir of Spring, why come so soon
On Ieafless grove and heroiess ia"n
WIN lie the yellow beams of noon
Yet winter is not gone.
For frost shall sheet the pools again
Again the clustering East shall blow,
WhirI a white tempest through the glen,
And load the pines with snow.
Yet, haply, from the region where,
walked by an earlier spring than here,
The blossom ed wild plum scents the air,
Ye come in haste and fear
For there is heard the bugle-blast,
The booming gun, the jarring drum,
And on their chargers, squirting fast,
Armed warriors go and come
There mighty hosts have pitched the camp
In valleys that were yours TIL then,
And Earth has shuddered TO the tramp
Of half million men

thousand glittering axes swing
To smite the trees TO earth.
Ye love the fields by ploughmaD trod;
But there, when sprouts the beechen spray
The soldier only breaks the sod
To hide the slain away.
Stay, thc1, beneath our ruder sky
Heed not the storm-couds rising black,
Nor yelling winds hat with them fly
Nor let them fright you back
Back to the sitting battle-cloud,
To burning towns that blot the day,
And trains of mounting dust that shroud

To scare you from the shetering tree,

May lay their weapons by

Where hands, that wear the letters now,
Free as your wings shall ply the spade,
And guide the peaceful plough

And shore of mighty lakei
And midland plain and ocean-strand
Shall thunder: g Glory to the brave,

" The experience of the most advanced
agricultural nations, like England, Germany
and France, goes to show that sheep are a
necessity of good general system of hus

amidst the densest population. They afford
as much food TO man in proportion to their

presence Of slavery has prevented it from
