DO not, then, these stupcndous and

saintcd sircs is here, the costlincss Of our
birth-right, the grandeur Of our commits
sion, and the developed aims of Heaven

and kindling to enthusiasm, as over the
vista Of coming ages VIC follow the stand
ards Of the great Confedcracy, and behold
by faith the monuments that rise along
the pathway Of human happiness and hu-
man elevation. That charmed vision is to
every patriot and to every Christian the
longed.for destiny of the Republic; and,
if there yet be virtue in the prayer of the
poor aud humble; if there be virtue in the
mind and temper of Christianity itself; il
there be virtue in good hope toward God

If there be virtue in the public recognition
Of His favor and our dependence; If there

of the untamed elements, the mighty
masses of living men swaying to and fro
like the storm-lashcd sea, aud threatening
to override all human hopes and expecta-

yea, rise again in our prosperity. The
mantle Of earlier prophecies will fall upon

more of truth, and more of precision, and
more of effectiveness, We hope, will they
direct the noble vessel Of our destiny amid
the uproar Of hcaving world.

Blind Men Eminent I'm literature.

In an editorial of decided ability, which
appears in the Richmond Examiner, on
the Death Of Prescott, the Historian"
| it is stated:
"Many Of our cotemporaries speak of

This, however, is q mistake. From Do
dotus, the blind teacher of philosophy,
geometry and music, who lived half
century before the Christian era, to Sam
uel Willard, an eminent blind divine, now
eighty.threc years of age, there have been
not less than eighty blind men distin-
guished in politics, literature, science, the
OlOgy and the mechanical arts. Milton
made his name immortal after the loss of
his vision. Sanderson, one of the most
eminent professors Of mathematics that
Oxford ever possessed, was born blind.
Huber, strange to soy, one OF the most
eminent writer's on entomology, was a
blind man-and yet his work on "Bces
and Ants" is the best ever written.
Fielding, the great police magistrate, was
born blind; so was Metcalf, the famous
English engineer and surveyor. Angus
tin Thierry, the historian of the Norman
Conquest, who died last year, and who
was almost as great historian as Pres
colt, was blind. Indeed we might, from
an article in the British Encyclopedia
BRITANNICA on eminent blind men, cite fifty
other instances of men who have attained
great eminence in all the walks of life
who were blind from carly childhood.
