The Beautiful Night.

Now leave the joyful solace
OF my gay and happy hcine,
Wander at the sl0west pace
Through the dark, deserted forest.
Tic moon breaks through the giant oak,
The zephyr gently shows its presence,
And Inc birch's scattered fallings
Give the sweetest frankincense.
How refreshing is the breeze
OF this pretty summer night!
Oh, how silently seize
That which gives my soul delight!
I Acarce can tell you all the sights,
And vet. oh Heaven, / would shew
A thousand OF your pretty nights,
If my sweetheart gave me one.

body Of men as the New York rumsellers-
To delay much needed law applicable to
the sale of liquor in all the cities of the
State for the sake of listening to arguments
from such parties is an unwise loss of time,
1t excites the suspicion that the present
Legislature. as too many of its predecessors
have done in former years, is seeking to
make an excise bill q marketable measure
for venal members and their convenient
friends of the lobby. We need an excise law
in New York. 1t is notorious that to-day,
after the spasmodic raids of few weeks ago.
the liquor trade is running, without license
and without restraint, all over the city.
Meanwhile the charitable institutions are
suffering severely from the loss of the excise
money. 1t is the duty of the Legislature to
put IN immediate stop to this state of affairs
by the prompt enactment of o good excise
law. II they delay such action it can only
be from corrupt motives.

THE WEATuER.-The centre of highest pres
sure has passed of the Middle Atlantic coast,
with falling barometer toward the north.
West of the Allcghanies the great depression
announced by the HERALD of Friday extends
toward the Rocky Mountains. In the North
west the pressure is rising steadily, and u like
condition will prevail in the Southwest. The
barometric trough, the formation of which,
with two centres of disturbance, we predicted
In our cautionnry notice of yesterday, now cx-
tends from the lakes to the Gulf. The northern
,cntrc Of low pressure is moving toward Wis
eonsin and the upper lakes. The southern
centre is advancing to the Lower Ohio Valley.
Both are attcssed by cloudiness the southern
centre by increasing rains Owing to the posi-
tions of the high pressures with relation to the
dcpressions the winds moderate but the
average of atmospheric humidity ranges high.
A ra,id eastward movement of the high baron
IF or will have the effect OF causing an increase
of energy in the marginal air currents of the de-
,,ressons. The districts embracing the grain
am. produce centres will be involved to-day in
the movements of the two depressions. Tenn
ncratures range quite high west Of the Allie
rbauies The weather in Now York and its vi
cinity to-day will be warmer and cloudy or
,,artIy cIoudy, threatening rain. Tomorrow
cl0usliness and light rains will prevail.

The really enjoyable portion Of General
Grants trip seems to have begun when he
set foot on the vandalia to sail in the Medi-
terranean seas along the coasts and amid
the islands and mountains from which so
many centuries of history and poetry and
fable and romance look down upon him.
To be sure the glittering honors in London
and Paris. the State dinners and recep-
tons, the pageantry of citizenship. the
civic Populations in town hall and railway
stations, the welcome Of canpon and the
heartier welcome of cheers from thousands
and tens of thousands must all have been
exceedingly agreeable and fattering to his
vanity. possess he never so little but, after
all, these demonstrations differed only in
degree from thousand others that had
been laid at his feet during the last four
teen years. Paris and London were
only New York and Washington on
a larger scale, with the addition
of royalty and orders and decorations and
privileges. General Grant went away from
US at the end Of years of public service to
seek we'll earned repose and to see some
of the worlds famous places. That the
fame of his deeds had gone before him was
certainly no fault of his; to have coldly
turned away from the honors that were
offered him would have been an offence not
only to his hosts but to his own country
men. The representative position in which
he found himself interfered with his plans
