The ancient philosophers speak of a
heaven, the habitation of their gods, in the
most elevated regions of the universe and
Aristotle, Plato and others, frequently
alluded to the happy place, far above
the starry worlds. So did the ancient
Egyptians and the Persians teach this be-
lief while the Greeks and Romans spoke
of their endless elysium. DR.. Dick, in his
' Philosophy of a Future State" says :
- Either the world we now inhabit, will be
remodeled, after the general con1agration,
for the residence of its renovated inhabit-
ants, or some of the present globes may
be allotted for the habitation of the just.
the habitation of the Just. Or some
new globe will be created adapted to the
circumstances of redeemed men, or again,
they may transport themselves from one
region of the universe to another, after the
resurrection, to contemplate other scenes
of Divine power and goodness, through
endless ages. DR.. Dwight imagined that
many of the worlds around us would at
last be formed into one great and mag
nifcent region where the Saviour would
gather his people together and make an
end of death and sin. St. Peters words
seem to point to this; The heavens being
on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements
ehan melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless,
we, according to his promise, look for a
new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth Righteousness.
Some of these theories may be partly
true. As there are diversities of worlds.
there may be diversities of employment
among the disembodied saints of the Lord
And like the winged butterfly, that emer-
ges from its chrysalis, and sings its way
for miles on miles amid the sunshine and
the flowers so may the saved spirit soar
away upon angels wings. over the bound
less space from world, ever increasing in
happiness and the knowledge of the sub
lime and the great.
Here our contemplations must terminate,
and overwhelmed with the immensity and
magnifcence of the Universe, and the per-
fections of its almighty Author, we can
only fall PROSTATE in deep humility and
alteration, exclaiming q Great and marvel
lous are thy works, Lord God Almighty !.
Thou art worthy to receive glory, and
honor and power; for thou has created all
worlds, and for thy pleasure they are and
were created"

AS to the correctness of our item, it
will compare fayorably with many
of the original articles Of the Ness,
which is not in the habit Of getting any
more fresh articles than it is obliged to.
The fact is, our friend is cautious. He
will not publish generally until his
items become venerable by circulation
in other papers, and often has filled his
editorial columns from day to day with
editorial articles taken bodily from 9TH
CT papers for the reason, of course, that

that the Ness depends upon us for it,

the most wantOn ingratitude for it to
appropriate our locals as soon rs they
are day or two old, and cuff the little

THE DAILY PRESS OF NERMONT.-Un-
SIN of the 10Th, the following article
containing some facts about the papers of
this State, which will be of interest to
our readers:
The Rutlund Daily Herald, of which
Messrs. Henry Clark and Lawrence
Roche are editors, was established in
1861. The Waterman and journal, at
Montpelier, of which Mesrss. Joseph
and j. NJ. Poland are editors, was estab-
lished by the Hon. f.. p Walton, late
Member of Congress, also in 1861. The
Daily Free Press, established at Bur-
lington, by Gen. ID. w. G. Clarke, in
1913, is edited by Messrs. G. G. and b.
l.. Benedict. The Daily Messenger, es-
tablished at st. Adams, by E. b. Whit
NIessrs. William II. Whiting and Albert
Clarke. The Daily Times, also estab-
lished at Burlington, by Gen. ID. w. c.
Clarke, now of Washington, ID. c., is
edited by George III. Bigelow and his
brother, Lucius Bigelow. The VermOnt
Daily transcript, established at st. AL
! bans, in May, 1868, by Wilbur =. Davis,
Esq, is edited by Mr.. Davis and AL
mont Barnes. All of the aforenamed
daily newspapers are Republican politi-
cally, firm yet of conservative stripe.
Hiram Atkins, Esq, of the Montpelier
ATgus and Patriot, however, publishes
Il Daily argus during the sessions of the
General Assembly, which is Democratic
in its politics and lively in its editorials.
These are all the dailies now printed in
Vermont, and they are conducted by
men of well established character and
ability.
1t has been stated that Mr. Albert
Clarke was to become editorially connec-
ted with the st. Adams Messenger, but
that paper, for some reason which we
will not attempt to explain, has not am
nounced that he has already COM
menced the labOrs of the Sanctum. But
from the above article we presume it $50,
Mr.. Clark was last fall one of the assist
ant clerks of the Vermont House of Re-
personalities, is reputed to be writer
} of no mean ability, and we sincerely
wish him long and prosperous career
in his new position.
