IL cannot be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our life is only bubble cast up
by the ocean of eternity, to float n
moment upon its waves aud then
sink into nothingness. Else, why is
it the high and glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from the tenn
pie Of our hearts, are forever wan
dering unsatis6ed? Why is il that
the stars which hold their festival
around the midnight throne, are set
above the grasp of our limited facul-
ties, forever mocking us with their
unapproachable gloryl And finally,
why is il that the bright forms Of hui
mau beauty are presented TO our
view and then taken from US, leaving
the thousand streams Of our affections
to flow back in an Alpine torrent
upon our hearts? We are born for a
higher destiny than of earth. There
is realm where the stars will be
spread out before us like the Islands
that slumber in the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings which pass be-
fore Us like shadows, viii stay forev-
or in our presence. .....

The Albany Evening Journal and
the New York Tribune are at cross
swords upon the question Of whether
Grant s!al! be president. The for
MGR wants the tenure-of-office law
repealed, and the latter objects to
ITS repeal It would keep Grant,
hands tied BY the law as President
Johnson's have been. 1t makes OF
the president a mere machine, OK
cept in the exercise Of the veto
power, AMI this amounts to nothing
when tho majority PARTY in corgress
is as strong as at present.
The pcrtinacity with which the
Tribune opposes the repeal Of the
law argues a strong suspicion that
Grant intends to be 50 very conserv-
alive as president as to, in fact,
Tylcrize the party. The radicals
are afraid Of him, and this will be
seen when the proposition to repeal
shall come up in congress.
To permit the law to stand will
be little less than a direct insult to
Grant. It will be saying to him,
"We made q puppct of your prcde.
'cessor, because we thought he was
disposed to be = traitor. We do
mot charge you with such dispo-
'sition, but We shall continue to en-
'ploy tho same means which made
him = puppet. "-Times.

We hear from Florida that Mrs.
Beechcr Stowe, the authoress of
"Uncle Toms Cabin" who : year
or two ago bought q place on the
St. Johns river near Jacksonville,
says she wants to live long enough
to write another book to correct the
mistakes of Uncle Tom, ''and show
tha. great blunder was committed
when slavery was abolished. From
original condition of sentimental at.
tachm ent to tho negro, she has
lapsed into q state Of unconquerable
dislike and aversion. She will not
have them about her, either indoors
or out. She turned them all of her
place, and allows no one with . black
skin to approach her. We are told
that an acquaintance Of ours sought
to send her message by black
stewardess on board steamboat, but
she refused to allow the negress to
approach her. Her mind as We have
been crcdibly Informed, is very much
inAamed against the negro;and this,
proba bly,, from comparing their Ct
ficicncy and aptitude as laborers
and servants with that of the nor
thern whites. Her fancy picture
of the African has been spoiled. and
her sentimental a ffcctation has turn.
cd, in consequence. to violent aver.
sion. Like Squcers, the milk Of
human sympathy in her bosam has
turned to curd and whey.
