AN ELOQUENT PAssAGE.-Probably of
all the beautiful and eloquent passages ever
written by the inimitable George d. Prem
tice, the following is the finest: ut cannot
DO that earth is mans only abiding place.
1t cannot be that our life is o bubble cast
by eternity to float moment upon its
waves and sink into nothingness. Else
why is it that the high and glorious aspir-
atoms which leap like angels from the tenn
pie ofour hearts are forevever wandering
unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow
and cloud come over US with beauty that
is not of earth. and then pass off to leave
us to muse on their loneliness ? Why is
that the stars which hold their festival
around the midnight throne are set above
the grasp Of our limited faculties, forever
US with their unapproachable
glory? And, finally, why is it that bright
forms of human beauty are presented to
our view aud taken from US, leaving the
thousand streams of our affection to flow
back in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts?
There is realm where the rainbow never
fades; where the stars will be spread out
before US like the islands that sIumber on
the ocean, and where the beautiful beings
pass before US like which shadows will
stay forever III our presence. Exchange.

convictions. He expresses his leas in
short sentences, and in low tone OF voice
Although there is remarkable quietness
in his manner, there is at the same time
marked positiveness of utterance to such a
degree indeed that one feels that there is
very little use in replying to IN adverse
opinion. Though there was nothing ap-
proxmating to rudeness, yet there was
that positiveness in his first short response
to the Louisiana Senator and Judge, that
left them neither heart nor hope to plead
their cause further. 1t was clearly evident
that what they said after that was in de-
fence of themselves rather than with the
hope of making all impression on their au-
ditor.
Such is Grant as I saw him. He is nm.
changed. He is as positive aud determin-
ed as ever. Whatever line of battle he
may fix upon, You may depend upon it, he
will still fight it out on that line.

nesday. December 10Th. 1863, Mrs. SARAH
P. BENNETT, aged 50 years, 3 months

Mrs. Bennett was born, brought MP, ed

the ministry Of Elder VIM. Robert, was
baptized by him and united with Beulah
Church in October, 1884. From this time
until God took her to himself, she lived a
devoted christian life, respected and loved
by all who knew her. So quiet constant
well expressed in the words of inspiration

tie to the Romans Mrs. Bennett was of a
timid and retiring disposition, so that it
was necessary to know her In order to see
and appreciate the many excellent quail.
ties which conferred in and made her what
she was Ant to know her was emphati-
caiiy to love her. When once became nc.
quainted, there was that in her quiet de-

ever exhibited the religion of Christ, and
was at all times q "liv;ng cpistle, vet in
her last years, which were those Of suffer.

beautifully exhibited. For years she was

and medical skill could do, was cheerftllly
done, yet nothing, absolutely nothing.

months of intense, excrntiating pain was

What careful watching and earnest PRAYER
that she might endure the will Of God
without ninrmuring! WHAT n strong de-

The God she served, the Savior she loved
did not forslke nor cast her off In the time |
Of her need. Her Pastor and other men, !
bers of her church met with and held re-
li!glous services in her room from time to |
time. These exercises were peculiarly |
blessed to her good and more than once |
she said that they helped and strengthen
ed her no much. But few hours before |
her last breath she expressed to her Pastor |

NEwsPAPER PRINTING IN CoLoRs.-An
Improvement upon the ordinary fathead
cylinder press was exhibited yesterday at
the Office Of Messrs. French T. Wheat. No.
10 Park-row by which it is feasible to
luton OF the press. Small cylinders are
made to revolve upon. a segment of the
periphery Of the main cylinder Of the press
Attached to the face of each of these small
cylinders is a portion Of the metal plate Of
the picture which is to be printed, each
section Of the plate being SO nicely ad-
Justed in its place rs to make the pict IRE
perfect on the paper when it passes from
press, and each cylinder representing n
distinct color. The specimens Of the work
shown yesterday were novel enough, and
give promise of usefulness for the iuvcu-
ton.
The proprietors do not claim for it that
twill supercede the progress of printing
in colors by hand. On the contrary. the
invention. even when it shall have been
thoroughly perfected, can only be made
available for printing "cuts" and "plates"
in large quantities. 1t would prove too
expensive for ordinary small jobs, but
could be used advantageously, for instance.
on weekly paper of circulation, and would
doubtless, prove greatly attractive to their
patrons. a short time since a paper 10
Boston issued an edition with colored en-
cravings to its subscribers. The entire
quantity printed-4O,O0O-has to be run
through sixteen hand presses, once for
each color, requiring the services of man
to each press night and day for two weeks
Under the new process, as good work can
be done by tho single press in forty-eigh.

is more or less of truth in all these
points"
"Then," said Grant, "I think you will
have to build your own ievees, or want un-
der water until you are willing men should
come in who will build them"
The above, though not all that was said,
gives the substance and spirit of the con-
versation. 1t shows much more plainly
than any statement that have seen pre-
cisely where the President elect now stands
with reference to the South.
This conversation shows that whatever
he may hereafter do, he now stands by his
past record. He means that q citizen of
the United States shall be recognized as
such, and secured and protected in his
rights and privileges in every State that
the freedom of the freedman shall be rccoc.
nized and his labor fairly compensated !;
that the national obligations shall not be
increased, and that the promoters of the
late war at the South shall not be aided bv
the Government in repairing the damages
occasioned by the war.
The result of the interview was a strong
conviction that Grant is Radical in the
most radical sense of the political term
that all parties, North and South would
do wisely to recognize the fact and act &C.
cordingly. That he will follow the course
OF johnson and abandon the party that
elected hun, and 20 any extent identify
himself with his enemies or opponents in
the war, is contrary to the character of the
man, and his present positive and clearly
convictions.
Grants manner is that of quiet case, ner-
feet self-rcliancc, and the most positive

subject, and provide means by which every
child may receive an education without

My predecessor leased the penitentiaiy

of the lessees, have declined to approve,

jections, for your consideration. Your at
tention is called to it, and the report ofthe
Board Of Control, whose authority they
have resisted. If you sustain my objec-
tons to the bill, you should either approve
the lease already made or authorize
another to be made. In my Judgment,
the State should retain the supervision and
control of the treatment of the prisoners
and the conduct of the institution, in so far
as not incompatible with the rightful inter-
ests of the lessees.
THE STATE HorsE.
The State is in need of suitable capitol
buildings. Those now in use are made
quate to the demands of the State. Your
attention is called to the fact that the
building on Espianade street, formerly used
as government mint, is now wholly in
disuse, and it is not certain that the gov
ernment will again use it. have no doubt
It could be obtained as contribution by
The general government, and could, with
small expense, be made very excellent
