I want you to push matters as rapidly as possible, and to do all you can to put two handsome divisions of your own corps at Cairo, ready to embark up the Tennessee River by the 20th or 30th of April at the very furthest.

'Silence again: only the questing birds call from the olive-woods. Panting, the priest moves onward, racked with sick tremors, prescient of doom. 'But hark! a cry! and yet another answering a dark form bursting from the grove a fierce locked struggle under the sacred tree. The boy crawls to the furthest end of the branch, his eyes starting from his head.

Such art would have been in itself a good; but would this child then have been, as now, about her Father's business, which, in ministering to one of his little ones, she is as surely as the archangel who suspends new systems of worlds in the furthest void?

"That is all; but its history contains the histories of all the others in fact, the whole history of early England."
