a Portrait Of Gen Grant.

y correspondent Of the New York Times

hero:
Almost any time you can see a small hut
cCmpactly built man about fortv-five wears
Of age walSing through the camp. lie
moves with his shoulders thrown a little
forward Of the pepper dIcular his left hand
in the pocket of his pantaloons, IAN unlight-
ed cigar in his mouth, bis eyes thrown
straight forward fro N the haze of abstrac-
ton that wells them, aud a countenance
drawn into burrows Of thought would seem
to indicate that he is intensely preOccupied.
The ldicrs observe him coming ard rise
to their feet, gather on each side Of the
way to see him Tass-they DO not salute
him they only watch him curiously, with
a certain sort Of familiar reverence. His
abstract air is net so great while he thus
moves along,as to prevent him seeing every
thing without apparently looking at it.
You will see this in the fact, that however
dense the crowd in which yoI stand, if you
are an acquaintance, his eye will rest for
an instant On yours with glance of recol-
lection. and with nod Of recognition. 4

trarpings o! any sort save the double star

lines and contour indicate extreme deter
minatlon end endurance, cCmrlete the ex-
ternal appearance Of this small man as one
sees Lin passing along, turning and chew
ing Tesllcssl y the end Of his unlighted ci-
gar.
His cOnntenarce, in rest, has the rigid
immObility Of cast iron and while this in
dlcates the uDyieiding tenacIty Of bull
dog, one finds only in his grey EYES the
smile and other evidence of those softer
traits seen upon the lips and over the CT
tire faces of ordinary people.
On horseback be loses al the awkward
ness that distinguishes him as be moves
about or foot. Erect and graceful he seems
a portion Of his steed, without which the
effect would De incomplete.
lie held IN early days the reputation of
being the best rider in the Academy, and
he seems to have lUstnone Of his excellence
in this respect.
Along with the body guard Of General
Grant rides his son Fred, a stout lad of
. fourteen summers. He eIdures all the
marches, follows his father under FIRE with
all the GOODNESS Of an old soldier aud is in

BY G.. & c.. FARLEY.
BE JUST, AND FEAR NOT.

Speak thou the truth. Let others fence
And trim their words for pay;
In pleasant sunshine of pretence
Let others bask their day.
Guard thou the fact, though clouds Of night
Down on thy watch-towcr stop;
Though thou should'st see thine hearts delight
Borne from thee by their swoop.
Face thou the wind Though safer seem
In shelter to abide,
We were not made to sit and dream;
The safe must first be tried
Where God hath set his throns about,
Cry not, 1.-THE way is paih;'
His path within for those without
Is paved with toll and pain.
One fragment of his blessed word
Into thy spirit burned,
Is better than the whole, halfheard,
And by thine interests turned.
Show thou thy light. 1t conscience gleam,
Set not the bushel down;
The smallest spark may send his beam
Ger hamlet, tower, and town.
Woe, woe to him on safety bent,
Who crecps from age to youth,
Failing to grasp his life's intent
Because he fears the truth
BE true to every Utmost thought,
And as thy thought, thy speech;
What thou hast not by suffering bought,
Presume thou not to tea,h.
Hold on, hold on; tnou hast the rock;
The foes GA the sand;
The first word-tcmrestS ruthless slICCll
scatters their shifting stauG
While each wild gust the mist shall clear.
We now darkly Though,
And JUSTIFIED at last appear
The true, i'll Him that's true.
