Never thou braved wintry waters tor the honors

Where arc ur,ed bis sacred ashes, Freedoms Mecca

Though through camp the fields Of heaven may by

He amidst all tela tons still shall shine

He whom Freedom named as Father still Is Father

Though the Nation claims Of heroes great tri

Never shall his name rank lower on Fame's mighty

Who goes to claim Valhala's apotheoss OF souls.

THE OLD coNTlNENTALs,

In their ragged regimentals
Stood the old Continentals,
Yielding not
When tie grenadiers were lunging
And like haii fell the plunging
Cannon shot;
When the files
OF the isles
From tie smoky night encampment.
Bore til, banners OF the rampant
Unicorn,
And q 7mmer, grummer. grummer
Rolled the roll Of the drummer,
Through the morn
Then with eyes to the front all,
And with guns horizontal,
Stood our sires;
And the balls whistled deadly,
And In streams flashing redly
Blazed the tires
AS theyoar
On the shore
Swept the ,rong battle breakers,
Ger the green-sodded acres
OF the plain;
And louder, louder, louder
Cracked the black gunpowder,
Cracking amain:
Now like smiths at their forges
Worked the red st. Georges
CanaonerS;
And the "viilainous saltpetre"
Eung fierce, discordant meter
Round tha,r ears;
AS the swift
Storm drift
With hot, sweeping anger,
Came the horseguards' clan9of
On our fianks;
Then higher, higher. aigher
Burned the old fashioned fire
Through the ranks
When the old-fashioned colonel
Galloped through the white internal
Powder cloud;
And his broad sword was swinging.
And his brazen throat was ringing
Trumpet loud:
Then the bl.le
Bullets few,
And the trooper jackets redden

We were shown on Monday a speci-
men of crab grass cut by Saml Ii.
Morton, Esq, from his clover field.
This is magnificent specimen, and
is equal to that which NAV be grown
anywhere. Mr.. Morton further in
forms us that on the same six acre
clover field this year he cut two crops
of clover aud one crop of crab
grass, making three in all from one
plat. the yield was eighteen two
horse loads of crab grass and fifty Of
clover, or a total of about 5000
pounds Of hay in one season from six
acres. This at an average price Of
S12 per ton would make the hand
some yield of $500, or $50 per acre.

In calling the Republican convention
for Ramsey county on Saturday, the st.
Paul Dispatch, which has been blowing
Gilman's bugle during the campaign,
thinks it sees sharp practice on the part
of McGill's friends, and trick to beat
Gilman out of the 81 delegates. The
fact is that Gilman held majority of
the State Central committee and got the
date fixed for the State convention to
suit himself. He wanted more time to
get I'm his "fine work." But the Ram
sey county committee was not rolled up
in the palm of Mr.. Gilman 3 hand and
as a sequence they called their conven-
ton to suit themselves. 1t il at date
a little "too quick" for "Gil." and his
organs are kicking with vigor that
would do credit to that long cared ami
mai familiarity known as mule. But
let 'em kick. Mr.. Gilman will learn be-
fore the present canvass is concluded
that he is not the only man in Minneso-
Ia who can run a convention successfu full
ly, and also that he il not the only man
i'm the State who knows something about
politics. Gilman will learn lesson or
