On the beach of Roskild, by the dark green waters of the Cottage walked Adam Wilb ?rg, the farmer, at \ old liars lloiven, the wealthy ^1 i nowncr. Adam Wilborg was a man of fifty, a small larmcr, sadly pieced now and then, ami he had much ado to keep the ditch of bacon on the wall, afidj the nn al-tub well filled. One treasurer only had he^a blooming daughter. JMargret by name, whose cheeks were as red as the hearts on the Danish banner, and whose eyes were as bright as the steel pikes that guarded the royal standard, when Denmark's power carried dismay to the insolent invador. The farmer hard-working and poor, ever engaged in a hand-to-hand struggle with grim poverty, was still portly in person and rugged in health; while old Hans Horsen, the rich ship master, the sales ol whose ventures whitened all the northern seas, was spare in form and sickly in a( pearanoe. Perhaps the cunning merchant studied too long in the midnight hosur fiow he might get beforehand with his lellows in trudek and gave devious calculation il?? limnw < n > wiiit deep HUOUltl claim. It wa? in little words that the spare and cunning miser looked with a lav orable eye upon the blooming Alargrot, sole child ot farmer Wilhorg. And now, as they walked along the sandy shore, the man ot money bags pressed bis suit. .'Good farmer remember that times arc hard and money worth much; the winter is near, and crops are poor,' the miser said. 'Now see what 1 will do lor them, if thou canst persuade thy dancrliter t o ?riv? i?i<? < i.<? - - _ .? .,.. ~ ...v im auowiT i nai T 1 I seek. I will loud ihee ? hundred riusbank dalers outright for a year or inure, and charge thee no interest. 1 will take your daughter without a dowry, and in ways of trade, I will ship your crops wherever you like, at one-half the usual rate. Can I do more?' 'Thou knowest Christian Arnholt, the fisherman?1 llorsen nodded assent. '1 fear that Margaret has a silly, lool ish fancy for the lad.' 'But he is a beggar, so to speak!' llorsen exclaimed, in astonishment. 'The sun shines as well upon the smalest boat as upon the largest vessel,' answered the farmer, shrewdly. ^ 'And who may guess a woman's way? Now, listen to me, neighbor, and i will tell the nothing but truth. If 1 should speak ol thee to Margaret, and she with the foolish fancy for the lad ( strong upon her, all the words thai ever were spoken or written would " ? noi move her .'i tingle jot. Kirst we iniiHt dispose ?>t the fisherman. He in | to come to-night, to receive an answer Irom me.' [ 'Send him packing, then.' , 'Without a reason? i\^ no, tli.it will only bind".the girl stq/^tiolser to him.' 'I have it!' excb\H ed the miser, suddonly. 'This t^Tistoan is a sturdy youth, and knoU's 110 leur?' ( 'So it is said.' u 'Thou hast the legend of' Ilolger, Lhe Dane, who sleeps in the caverns be nen 1 h the Castle ol Kronborg, by the j Sound ol Elsiinore?' ^ 'Yes; the guardian genius ol Deuinark.' ( CIV ^ I - ' i nu icgeiut runs that the mortal bold enough to,seek and find the cavjrn wherein sleeps iiolger the I>anc, ( and penetrate the presence ot the deeping warrior, will he rewarded ^ with countless stores of good. Many nave tried, hilt none succeeded. On jne night only in the year can a inor- ^ ad find the entrance to the caverns ? lis the new year; that will he the ^ light alter to-morrow. Tell the youth die legend, and ask him if he has the ( courage to seek the treasures of Hoi*er'' * ii lie may en Cooed/ said the larmer, ' K\ loubtlully. I n 4No leur of that. For a hundred I vitig&yi.,, , '3 L t .An Iridepei VYliOKO. S. CmSATTJ years, at least, b ?ld men have attempted the task, but no living soul ever returned Iroin the dreadful caverns alive.' 'Bui is not that akin to murder?' asked the farmer, with just a little touch of remorse. 'How so?' demanded the miser; 'lie goes of his own tree will or not at all. Does not the sailor trust to wind and wave? The soldiers to uncertain chance of war? B dd trouble yourself not about that. Remember, 'tis to your advanta^e.' 'My mind is easy,' quoth the farmer. At night the fisherman canto for his answer to the humble, roof of tanner YV ilborg. Tall and brawny ol limbs was the fisherman, with hair like beaten gole, and the eyes as blue as the water of the Haliie, kissing a sunlit shore. Cotdially the iarmer received him, and the son ol the sea came at once to the purpose ol his visit. 4I've a snug cot, farmer, done by the murmuring sea, and Margaret there w ill make iiiv as happy as any king from lime to Ind.'

At t welve o' the night, on the eve ol he new year, the fisherman clambered >ver the rocks below Kronborg and altered a cavern, dimly illuminated by he rays ol the moon.

J1Y I.ltUN OL1V12U. Alexander U. Stephens. Aiuoung the distinguished men of our times there is ik> one. who. i:ilvin<r r 1 * i-*| in lo consideration all the ci renin stances ol 11in lite, is more deserving a place in this series ol sketches than Alexander I Hamilton Mhcphciis. As an example j ol tho power ol will and intellect over j physical weakness, he stands without j a peer. 1 iis tenure ol life lor many years has been so Iragile, that the an- : nowiie.emenl ol Ins death at any lime i would have occasioned no sui pn/.e, and lor years Ins obituary has been written and pigeon-holed in liie editorial sanctums ol most, ol the leading journals ol the land. .Many ol his contemporaries in the councils ol the nation, who were blessed wnl^ vigorous health, and who, session alter session, supposed they would be called upon to participate in the customary ceremonies over the remains ol Mr. biopliens, have themselves passed away, while be still lives. The annals ol our Congress show several notable instances ol the triumph ol lucre will power over a lecble and broken pltys ique, uinoung whom may ho named John Kandoiph, i liiiil blcvens, ami 4lJarson' iJrownlow, but the ease ol Mr. Stephens is ino most marked ol all; ami it can bo truly said ot him, that lor a whole generation he has lived and labored in dehanee ol all (lie la as which are supposed to govern the duration ol human lite, and 1 lirmly believe that any time in the past thirty-live years, il ho had given up, and allowed his lulirunties to gain lue ascendancy over his indomitable w ill, lie would have died in six months. Mr, Stephens is a navive ol Georgia, born in la 12, Hid was left an or pn.iii in early childhood, one parent avmg died m bis iiilancy, ami the other w iieii ho was hut ten years ol age. lie was in his boyhood vt ry religiously inclined, and this tendency impelled him to sludv theology and prepare himsell lor Hie ministry. Il he had adhered to this course, there is little doupbt but that lie would have been among the foremost l're-dj^ lerian theologians in the Eolith, but he finally chose the legal profession, and in 16J4, wuen nc was but tweniy-l\vu years ot age, he was admitted to tin' oar. lie veiy soon acquired an enviable position lrom lue lael that lie was successful ni gaining one ol his lirst eases,(a very important one) in winch lie was pitied against a celebrated attorney. lie had struggled hard to acquire an education, ami although he nan known no real home since he was leu )ears cud, lie entertained a strong altoeuou lor llieiiuinble home that had ....... I- ? - ? * once oevn nis milter's and Ifo devoted iltu lirst iruils <>l his labors to the purchase ot the ohi homestead, which it.el :ii tile dealh ot his lather passed into the hands ol strangers, and 'thus secured, not a a heritage, but as the result ol his oWn cllorts, Ins bu t hplaoe.

In I ho Presidential campaign of 1800 ho was an ardent advocate of Mr. Douglas, and in numerous public addresses denounced those who advocated the dissolution ot the I nion in case of the election of Mr. Lincoln, His love for the I 11i< ii was strong and sincere, and his speech bclore the State Convention ot (teorgia, which p tssed the ordinance ol secession, was beyond all comparison the ablest argument for the preservation ot the C nion, that has ever ) been uttered. 111 it he portrayed with almost prophetic inspiration the terrible consequences which have since become matters of history, written with a pen of steel dipped in the best blood i ol the nation. North and South. It has socmen to me that in that hour he stood upon the summit ot a spiritual 'Ptsgah,' and that there passed before his prophetic, v ision a panorama of the bloody drama so soon to bo enacted Certainly no orator, south or noith, j ever so graphically or truthlully ! tnrpsh.idn wi-i 1 i t??? l./n it. < ... - - ?.

As \ ice-1'resident of the Confe.d- ; eraoy, Mr. Stephens wais not particu- 1 larly conspicuous. The otlioo is one in wlfich the iuciijiiV)?*i?t has no voice and no power in the adminisliation, ami 1 will venture the opinion en />'($ mint, that, the vice-president should no longer he a mere ornament, whose power smd usefulness should only he contingent upon the death of the 1'resident, tmt that he should bet'# officio a member ol the cabinet. That there was little love or sympathy existing between Jed'erson Davis I and Alexander II. Stephens while they i held their respective positions ol 1'resident and Viee-l'resident ol the Confederacy, is too well known to require any proot. During the war Mr. Stephens was taken prisoner, and was lor some t ime con lined in Toi l Warren in Huston Harbor. Alter the close ol the war, he gracelully accepted the .situation, and has since,-as is generally conceded, labored honestly to secure harmony and good Iccling between the sections which bad lor four years been engaged :i ll.. iv ' in ((I'iiiiiv commit. Having li id In.- | political disabilities removed, lie hats ! nerved u jiurt ol one term in Congress, but during the last session lie went j home 4to die,' and there was daily expectation ol the announcement that lie ; had censed to live. Vet, such is his hold upon the alkctions ol his constituents, that he has recently been re- 1 elected, although there is little probability that hu will ever be able to take his seat in Congress. i\Ir. Stephens can hardly be called a politician, although he has been prominent in political all uis lor nearly lor- ; ty years, nor can it he ? lainied that he is a statesman in the highest acc ptation ol what that fjieat word signilics What ho would have been had In* been blessed with a physical vigoi ' proportionate to Ids immenso br.tin < powei, can only be conjcclud, ami ; when it is remcmocrcd that as a child | and a youth Ik was nnusii illy dei.ca e, and that during a large portion ol hie t' as a mail he has hardly been able to ' walk or stand without support, ami I that during all these years he has been a constant sulVercr iioin pain which , vv on hi have prevented ninety-nine out i?i a hundred trom engaging in into!- 1 lectual labors, hi* achievements are al- ' most miraculous.
