The slLENT SOLDER.

He was as calm as Washington. Without
his doing much during that winter, without
his saying more than was necessary, the peo-
pie began at last to feel confide1ce in him.
In November, 1864, the General visited New
York city for the first time since he had
Travelled thither by stage coach, in the days
when he was a student at West Point. He
went now to see his children who were at
school in New Jersey. Through all his career
Grant has been passionately attached to his
children 1t could not help being noised
about that the General of the armies OF the
United States was present wherever ne uav-
eled. To those who asked him of the war he
said simply that the end was not far of. The
valley of the Shenandoah was a barren waste
In the nature of things, Lees army must
soon be starved out. ''rhe Confederacy was
hollow shell which Sherman was about to
penetrate. Old men and boys were pressed
into the Confederate ranks The cradle. and
the grave had been. robbed to repair the
losses in the Wilderness and in the western
campaigns"
The tide of popularity had so turned in his
favor that his journey to New Jersey and
back was one triumph, as if victory had
already been won. Enormous crowds gath
cred and cheered him wherever he appeared.
In Philadelphia, after an impromptu recep-
ton in Independence Hall, he was taken by
private exit to a carriage. But the friendly
mob pressed around him and broke the car
riage windows open to have the privilege Of
seeing Grant From one Mouth TO another
the country over rang the words:
''At last we have found the man able to
end the war"
Like President Lincoln months before,
they, too, at length ''began to see If. +"
On his way back to camp Grant stopped at
Washington. He was preparing to throw off
all side weights for the final struggle. To
this end he called at the war office and recon-
mended the mastering out of service of 3S or
namental generals. They were mostly brig
adiers but some major generals were among
the lot To let them down easy, he recon-
mended that numbers Of them be permitted
to resign. The president reminded him that
some of these were his own personal friends.
Grant knew that, but he only replied:
'T am satisfied the good of the service Will
be advanced by their withdrawal"
The winter wore away. Sherman marched
to the sea, snnihilating, as he went like the
spirit of destruction. Crops, roads, arsenals
and factories disappeared in his track as if
visited by tornado. The Confederacy was
able to draw no more supplies from that
quarter Fort Fisher had been captured as
well, and Thomas had destroyed Hoods
army. The fabric jefferson Davis had built
on paper was trembling upon its foundations.
Meantime Grant had been silently creeping
like mole with his earthworlls, towards the
Southside railroad At last the commander
saw that his time was ripe. At the end of
March, 1865, he dispatched to Sheridan 81

only said:

LITTLE BY LITTLE.

Little by little the time goes by
Short if you sing, and long if you sigh
Little by little-an hour, a day,
Gone with the years that have vanished
away.
Little by little the race is run;
Trouble and waiting and toll are done;
Little by little the skies grow clear;
Little by little the sun comes near;
Little by little the days smile out,
Gladder and lighter on pain and doubt
Little by little the seeds we SOW
Into bountiful yield will grow.
Little by little the world grows strong,
Fighting the battle right or wrong;
Little by little the wrong gives way;
Little by little the right has sway;
Little by little all longing souls
Struggle up near the shining goals.

him fell the honor of sending the last shot fired by

forward to the village OF Appomattox and selected
the house of farmer naRned Mclean. 1t was in
this house. and not under the apple tree, that the
formal surrender took place.

GRANT.

His was the sword that from its scab-
bard leapt
To cleave the way where freedom
could be won,
And where it led a conquering army
swept
Till all was done.
Then that same valorous hand which
swung the sword,
Back to its sheath returned the patriot
blade,
And bore sweet peace where crushed re-
belliOn's horde
Stood all dismayed.
And now spirit, speeding from above,
Chills that great heart with his de-
stroying breath,
And all a peoples reverence and love
Are Knocked by death.

but, calm, inscrutable ever. he said what was
necessary to say, and tSen stopped.
He sat down at little table and wrote with his
own hand the formal terms OF surrender. They
were so generous to surprise alike his enemies
and his countrymen. He did not even demand the
sword OF his fallen foe. He could afford to be
generous. The starving army of Lee inn
mediatey fed from the supplies Of the national SOL
diers- Grant requested his men to abstain from all
signs Of rejo cling. The rebels our countrymen

southern army stacked their guns and marched out
to civil life once more "Then slowly furling their
flags, they laid them down, and many a veteran

The SURRENDER.

1t will be one of the ever living scenes in Ameri.
can history. Lee and his stan splendidly
dressed for the occasion Lee was a noble looking
man. He wore rich suit Of gray and gold, with
embroidered gauntlets and magnificent, flashing
tword. The clothing OF Grant and his stan on
the other hand soiled and worn and battle
stained. The two sides presented a marvellous con-
trast. Lee had the manner or the grand gentleman

child He never did anything for effect in his life

victor and Grant the conquered. Grant did not
