H - Bfc VOL. XXXVI.! From the Oxford EIit"un of Milton' reia. MIITOX LAST POEM. I am old an 1 blind I Men point at me as smitten by Gol's frown, Atfiicted, and deserted by my "mind I Yet 1 am not' cast down. I am weak ; yet dyinjr, I murmur not that 1 no lonjrer see ; Poor, old and helplea, 1 the wore belong. Father Supreme, to Thee. Oh Merciful One f When men are farthest, then Thou art mist near; When mea pass coldly bv my weakness shun Thy chariot I bear ! Tliy glorious face I leaning towards m, and ;ts holy 1 i(rit Shines in uptia my lonely dweUinf-placa, And there U no more night 1 On my bended knee I recognise Tby purpose clearly shown, My viaion Thou has dimmed that I may see Thyself Thyself alone. I bar naught to fear ; This darkness is the shadow of Thy winjr, Beneath it I am almost sacred ; hero Can come no evil thing. Oh ! I seem to stand Tremblinp where leet of mortal n'er yet bad been Wrapped iu the radiance of Tby sinless band Which eye bath never seen. s Visions come and go ; Shapes of resplenint beauty round me throng; From Angel' lips I seem to hear the flow Of soft and holy song. It is nothing, now When Heaven is opening on my sightless eyes When airs from Paradise refrsh lay brow The earth in darkness be. In a pore clime My being fills with rapture, waves of thought Hi ill in upon my spirit ; straiua sublime Break over me unsought. Give me now my lyre ! I feel the strings of a gift divine: Within my bosom glows unearthly fire, Lit by no skill ol mine. The I'rinter aud His Type. The following beautiful extract is from the pen of Benj. F. Taylor, the printer piet : Perhaps there is no department of enterprise whose details are less understood by in;elli,feiit people than the "art preservative" the achievement of types. Every day, their life lonjr, they are accustomed to read the newspaper, to find lault with its statements, its arrangements, its looks; to plume themselves upon tii discovery of some roguish an 1 acrobatic !ype that gels into a frolic and stinds upon its bead ; or of some waste letter or two in it but of the process by which the newspaper is made, of the myriads of motions an I thousand of pieces necessary to its composition, they know little an I think less. They iuiatpna they discourse of a wonder, indeed, when the speak of the fair white carpet weveu for . thought to walk on, of the rajrs that Muttered on the back of the beggar yesterday. Hut there is something more wonderful still. When we h k at tliD hundred aud fifty-two little boxes, somewhat shaded with the touch of iuky fingers, that compose the printer's "case" noiseless, except the clicking of the types, as one by one they take their placs in prowing line we think we hive found the m;irvel of the art. We think how. many fancies in fragments there .ire in the boxes, how many atoms of poetry and eloquence the printer can make here an 1 there, if he only had a little chart to wi.rk by, bow mnv faet in a small "hsuidfull," how much truth in chaos. Now he picks up the scattered elements until be holds in his hand a stanza of "Orey's Elegy ; " or a monody upon Grimes "AH Buttoned up Rehire." Now he "sets" a "puppy missing," and ;. w "Paradise Lost ; " he arrays a bride in "small e:pV and a nnet in "n-i pareil ; " he announces the languishing "live," in one sentence transposes the words and deplores the days that are tew and "evil," in the next. A poor jest ticks its wsy slow ly into the printer's hand, like a clock just running down, and a strain of eloquence marches into line leter by letter. We fancy can tell the dtilerence by hearing of the ear, but perhaps not. The tvpes that told a wedding yesterday, announces a burial to-morrow perhaps the self sauio letters. They are the elements to make a world of those tvpes are, a world with something in it as beautitiil as spring, as rich as summer, and as grand as autumn flowers that frost canuot wilt, fruit that shall ripen for all time. The newspaper has become the log-book nf tlie sge, it teils at what rate the world is running; we cannot find our "reckoning" without it. True, the green grocer may bundle up a pcund of candles in our last expressed thoughts, but it is only coming to base use, something that is doue times innumerable. We console ourselves by thinking that one can make nf that newspaper what he cannot make of living oaks a bridge for time, that he ran tling it Over the chasm ot the dead tears and walk satelv back upon the sbadowy sea into the far past. 1'he singer Khali not end bis song, nor the true soul be eloquent no more. The realm of the press is enchanted ground. S metimes the editor has the happiness of knowimr that lie has defended the right, exposed the wrong, protected the weak ; that be had given utterance to a sentiment that ba cheered somelMHlr's solitary hour, made somebody happier, kindled a smile upou a sad face, or hops m a heavy heart. We may meet with that sentiment many years after itinav have lost alt charm of its paternity, but he feels anvctions for it. He welcomes it as a long absent child. He reads it as for Ihe first time, and wonders if, indeed, he wrote it, for he has changed since then. Perhaps he could not give utterance to the seutiment now perhaps he would not if he could. It seems like tlte voice of his former self calling to its parents, and there is something mournful iu its tone. He begins to think to remember why he wrote it. where were bis readers then, and how much he has charged. So he muses, until he finds bimself wondering if that thought of hi will continue to float after he is dead, and whether hn is really looking upon something that Will survive him. And then comes the sweet consciousness that there is nothing in the sentence that he could wish unwritten that it is a better part .if bim a shred from a garment of immortality lie shall leave behind him when be joins the "innumerable caravan," and takes his place in the aiient balls of death. Do it with Might. Fortune, success, fame, position, are never gained buV -by piously, detrrmimUy, bravely sticking, growiug, living to a thiii till it ia fairly accomplished. Ia short, yon must carry a thing through if you want to be any body or anything. No matter if it does cost you the pWasnre, the society, the thousand gratifications of life. No matter for t'aess. S::ck' to tlte thing and carry it tl.TvaL.i Believe yon r made for tlie matter, aud that os on? else caa do it. Put fcrta the whole energies. Stir, wake, electrify yourseif, and go forth to t! task. Once learn to carry a thing through ia alt its completeness and proportion, and tou will become a hero. You will think betterof yourself others will think better of you; of course tber will. . The world, m its very heart, admires the stern, determined doer. Drive right along, then, iu whatever yea undertake. You'll be successful; ntttr fer. The famous Mexican President acd General, Santa, Anna, is in New York. His personal appearance ia tbns described : Santa Anna is a man about five feet nine inches in height, apparently some sixty yejirs of age, with dark hair, scarcely tinged wit'i the chill destrover' i touo. ami stmngiy marked features, typical of the f intelligent Mexican ?nd the resolute, self-reliant man j of the world. He wears no heard so that th cbarJ aeter of the lower portion of his iratures is readiiy i legible. Although he uses a cane ia walking, a casuj ai observer wouid not suspect teat toe general bad bat one -carcal" pin to staad on. tbe i tber, as it ia i well krvwn. being like a t iper's last drink m Saturi day nigat. under the new excise law. Seriously, however, it is suprising that after the hardships wnich the General has endured, he sitouid appear, with the missing limb to bear his rears so lustily, and fight so strongly against the growing stoop in tha a boulders.

...r r-r-.n ,rvTi rr a i i tuc JUo I Pif-iU r CJn PtU I . I nu. ni RICIOIOXB, Tiie .New York Pres on the Passage of the Constitutional Amendment. frw Yo. Mar 11. The Pott says, editorially, of the action ot the H'Mison the Keconstructii-n Report, "taatthe first and tourth sections are superfluous and nunecessarv. The third section, which disfranchises the misses of the Souiliern people till after IS70, is, we believe, contemned by judicious men as injurious, and productive of strife and hostility: while the second section is eminently just and necessarr and expedient, and all that is required on the subject. W hope the Senate will judiciously prune awar the superfluous suostance from this amendment, and present to the States a measure of whose justice and proprietv there can te no doubt." The Times makes no editorial comment, but in its Washington despatch gives this explanation of the vote: "Mr. Steven then rose to close the debate, and made an acrimonious, bitter, and vindictive speech, in which be appealed to the passions and hatred of bis fellow members to oppose any effort to change this proposition. Ue then moved the previous question, and the disgraceful game of the Democrats was at once apparent. As on the passage of the District SuHrage Bill, so on this occasion, the Copperheads ceme tit Mr. Stevens' rescue to prevent any amendments to the joint resolution. There was a clear majoritv on tlie Republican side in faior of amending by striking out, or changing, the third section. Mr. Steveus knew this, and summoned bis Copperhead allies to sustain his demand for the previous question. This they did, and the demand was sustained, nearly all the Democrats voting with Mr. Stevens. Then on ordering the main question to be put. the yeis and nays were demanded in order to get these Copperheads on record. This frightened most of them, and at the dose of the roll call there was one majority against ordering the m.in question. Whereupon such worthies as Jack Rogers, of New Jersey, herrand Niblark.of Indiana, Eldridge, of Wisconsin, an J Chanler, of N.York, the rebel wing of tha Democaatic party in the II ause, either changed their votes from the negative to the affirmative, or asked that tiieir votes be recorded when the the main question was ordered by five majoritv. The Republicans then wheeled into solid line, and passed tlie resoluton by the immense majoritv of nii;ety-one votes; the Copperhead faction, powerless for further mischief, sneaking away into their seats, and recording au insignificant vote against the proposition. By his coalition between the extremes, the majority of the Union party in the lioosa was prevented from changing Uie resolution as tuey desired; but as the previous question is unknown in the Senate, it will undoubte ily be put in proer shape there, and the House will ultimately agree to it despite the efforts of tactions at both extremes. The 11 ruhi calls attention to Mr. Raymond's vote, and ad ls that "the constitutional amendment thus rushed through the House has now to puss the ordeal of tlie Senate. In that body it may perhaps succeed, and it may be doomed to failure. But if it pass the Senate, and if the two bills follow, there yet remains an appeal to the people." 1 he J'ritmtf sky si I he amendment now ges to tne Sena!-' an 1 we trust will be carried ty more man t:ie req lisite two to one. It is not what we would have, but we believe in taking tlie best we can get, as tlie true way toet more hereafter. The proposition may be amended here, as it w uld have been i i the House, but fot the Democratic opposition." j How President Jonsso.-i Woi'.Ks. The New York ! Epress, speaking of President Johnson, remark : ! The President has an iron Constitution, works from 1 8 i. II. to 11 and 12 i . a.

Some parts of the country, as is known, do a wholesale business in divorces, aud without much rhyme or reason. The loose manner in which they are granted is often the subject of much comment, but the strangest case we ever heard of is the following reported in the Louisville Courier of the Uth inst. ; the divorce took place at New Albany, Indiana: " A divorce was granted, among many others, in the ease of McCartney vs. McCartney, but neither of the parties knew anything of the pendency of the suit : neither of them were present when the decree was rendered, and only learned through their friends that their marital bonds were sundered. They are, and have been, living together most happily, entirely satisfied with each other, and are strongly disposed to demur to the singular and summary process by which their happy relations were dissolved. How the case got into court is entirely unknown to the parties, but it is supposed to be the work -of some mad joker or envious Benedict. Of course the parties will have to get married acraio or procure a reversal of the decree. This is another and forcible il lustration of the loose manner in which the divorce business is managed in In diana." Beautiful Extract. The loved ones whose los3 I lament are still in existence; they are living with me at this very time; they are like myself duelling in the great parertal mansion of God ; they still belong to me as I to them. As they are ever in my thoughts, so perhaps am I in theirs. As I mourn for their loss, perhaps they rejoice in anticpation of oar re-union? What to me is still dark, they see clearly. Why do I grieve because I can no longer enjoy their pleasant society ? During their lifetime I wa3 not discontented because I could not always have them around me. If a journe- took them from me, I was not therefore unhappy. And why is it different now? They" have gone on a journey. Whether ther are living on earth in a far distant citv. or in some higher world in the infinite universe of God, what difference is there ? Are we not still in the same house of our Father, like loving brothers who inhabit separate rooms ? Have we therefore ceased to be brothers? IZo

nnu i .11 AY 3.1, 1SG. The War for the I n ionmarks. Mr. Cowan's ReWe give below extracts! from the elo- ' qnent remarks of Senator Cowan on Trumbull's amendment to the Postofflce Appropriation Bill. Mr. President: I think, in view of the f danger which portends and which has j been alluded to by the Honorable Senator from Michigan, that this is a good time to be brave, and a good time to say stout t'ungs; and I am glad he has availed himself of the opportunity. I am not so well pleased that he has claimed for himself the position of Leonidas and his Spartans in the pass of Thermopvlae in his fight. There the three hundred stood against an invading horde of foreigners who sought their country. Where is the Senator standing now? Is he standing ia the breach? Av, sir, directly in the I breach; but it is in that breach which i the American people desire to heal. He stands in that chasm which they would ! bridge over. He stands in the mouth ! of that wound which they would close ' and cicatrize. This is his true position. I He stands in the very breach which prei vents the Uniou, the Union for which the ! war of which he has spoken was under taken, and for which it was carried through in the manner in which it was carried through. The Senator alleged that the Southern States during the war were out of the Union, and lie annealed to me as to whether they were not out of the Union. J Admitting for the nonce his postulate, I i nut the nuestion. what was the war for? That he promised to auswer, but that was what he did not answer. It is the answer to that question for which the American people look from that honorable Senator and those with whom he ai ts. What was the war for? If tlie ordinances of secession, if the rebellion, if "the war, if any thing which occurred during that time took the eleven States in question out of the Union, what was the war for? The Union man answers, it was for the purpose of supporting and sustaining and restoring the Union; if thev were our, it was to bring them back; ' if they were not out, it was to keep them !in ' ! Has not that been the understanding ' of the American people, with the excepi tion, perhaps, of a few extremists? Sir that was the unanimous opinion of the (Y.n-ress of the Unit'-d Slates in July, lill. Tisut was the almost unanimous, if not the' unanimous expression of tlie opinion of the loyal States as to the object and purpose of the war. Was it falre? Did that resolution assert a falsehood, or was it a truth? Did it assert the tn:t; intention cf the. people, or was it a cover for a design whioh they chose to conceal, and which is only developed now in tlie face of the people? I say to the honorable Senator from Michigan that the war was for the Union; it was to save the Union; it was to restore it aud to compel the submission of Ihose whodesire to dismember theUnion to the laws and the Constitution of the co;intr3-. The honorable Senator is a member of the star-chamber committee of fifteen; lie is a member of that committee which catt ies in its girdle the keys of the Union; he was appointed to inquire into the' temper of the Southern people; he was appointed to inquire whether the people of those States were lit to be restored to their rights under the Union; and now I say, as I said the other day, if what he says is true, he indorses the Chicago platform. He has established himself upon the platform that Ihe war was a failure; and he tfings. out broadly, into the faces of American soldiers and American citizens, that instead of restoring to the Union and to the country and to their rights under the Union the people of the South, the war was a failute; and here, iu the opc-n face of day, in the presence of the people, he says the Southern people are a conquered people, ana that we hold them, to use his own language, by the point of the bayonet. Mr. President, is that so? I do not undertake to take issue with tlie gentle man upon tlie fact as to whether the condition of that people be what he represents it to be or not. It is enough for me to know that that is the ground upon which lie plants himself here; and I am exceedingly glad that he has so manfully avowed it. The rebellion then, was successful in that; it took tlie rebel States out of the Union; it took their people out, as a matter of course, loyal and disloyal, false and true, faithfid and unfaithful; and since the- have been out, and since the re-conquest has been made, if you please to call it so, or since the conclusion of the war. they have rei mained iehor the Union, and are hld fas a conquered people. If that is true, say so. We w ill meet you in the pass I of Thermopylai or at Phillippi, if yon please. j I Mr. President, let us look at this ques- ! tion cooly. I ask again, by what warrant j did we make this war? Was it because, I as the c ucstion was put to me the other ; day. there is such a thing a3 political i donainancy, political sovereignty, bv j which one people have a right to domij nate another people? Who will dare to avow it upon this floor? Our warrant was I the Constitution and the law3. We said to southern people: you bound youri selves, States and people, with as in that j Constitution; you assisted ia making j those laws; and now you refuse to fuLfifl j your obligations; now you undertake to secede and withdraw yourselves from the operations of the very law that 5 0U assisted to make nader that Constitution; yon provided that the Executive of the nation should swear to support the Constitution; you provided that he should see that the laws were faithfully executed; you provided that those laws sbonld be paramount, that they should be higher than all other laws within their particular constitutional circle; they did all that, aad we claim the right to compel you to stand upon them.

Not at all, sir. It is not oy any especial virtue of hia or mine; it was not on account of any superiority that we might assume over the Southern people that we claim the right to compel their surrender. We did it in the name of the Constitution, and standing under the shadow of the majesty of the law. They surrendered to the law. Mr. President, I do not believe, I cannot believe, I will not believe now, standing over the graves of two or three hundred thousand American citizeus, fallen in the strife of the Union, that there can be no Union. What conceivable interest has any man to disseminate this doctrine among our people? Why is it that men go about from day to day trumpeting the unfitness of the Southern people for a Union, and yet calling themselves Uniou men? Who has made the people of the North believe that this breach has been so widened, that this gulf is so impassable that we can never be friends again with our Southern brothers? Who is it that does it? Are they Union men? I ask. In the case of a quarrel between two men, what kind of a union friend would he bo who would go from the one to the other and say, He hates you, he hates you in the very innermost recesses of his heart," and then go to the other and say, "He would stab you behind if he had a chance." Would that be to make union, reconciliation, between these parties? And who does this thing? It is not the President who does it. It is not Mr. Seward who does it. It is not the Army who does it. It is not the Navy who does it. Who does do it? I will tell j on, Mr President, it is a faction in power-here, tasting the sweets of power, enjoying its exercise, and they tell you that these people are unfit to come in; and why? Because, come in as they may. there can be no reconciliation with them. That is disunion again. What was said the Other day in the House which sits at the other end of this Capitol? "Without some measure like a reconstruction measure, when we come back again these halls will be filled with yelling rebels and hissiag Copperheads." What then is to be doue? Usurp, grasp power 3 ourselves, remodel the Constitution, remodel the laws, so that the few, not the many, cm hold on to power. We may just as well come to it first as last; that is exactly what it means. Are you afraid the Democrats will get the power? If you are, that is disunion. A man is afraid of tlte other party coming in, and who believes that that other party will destroy the Government.'is a dis union man, because he believes that which is fatal to the very foundation of the fabric. I do not believe it, and I never did believe it. We have no terms to offer. We ought to have no proposals to make, except this: Obey the Constitution and the laws. That we can compel them to do, but 3'ou cannot compel them to adopt new propositions and give new guarantees; and I should say that we have no right to do it, unless this Government is to be entirely changed in its nature, in the nature of its machinery, and in the rights which are to be conferred upon it; and if it is, iu God's name, why not let us know it? If there is to be no such thing as State rights, if there is to bo a consolidated Government, an actual de facto Government, administering the laws ami justice among the people as tlie State governments now administer them, WI13' not bring iu that proposition and let us see it, let us meet it? If, however, it is to be such a government as the one we have been proud of so long, let us preserve it; and instead ol tr3'ing to patch it and mend it, and change it, and pervert it, for a mere temporary political purpose, let us all stand by it proudI3' and strongly, and hand it down to our children with the same injunction with which we received it from our fathers, and then we shall hare fulfilled our duties, and we shall have performed the functions of American citizens. Remarkable Coincidences. A foreign exchange gives the following instances of remarkable events happening upon the 14th of the month : "The fourteenth has been memorable in many wa3"s and memorable perhaps above all other da3-s for assassinations. Let us note' a few of the more famous ; On the 14th of May, 1610, Rayaillac murdered Henry IV. of France; on the 14th July, 1793, Marat was killed by Charlotte Corday's dagger: on the 14th February, 1400, Richard II. was murdered in Pomfret Castle: and on the same day of the same month, 1696, the dastardly flot to assassinate William III. was discovered and frustrated. Captain Cook was killed on the 14th February, 1779, and Admiral Byng was executed on the 14th of March, 1757, the victim of an unscrupulous adminissration. The Due de Berri was stabbed on the 13th and died of his wounds on th 14th February, 1820. An attempt was made at Baden by Oscar Becker, a half mad student, to kill the King of Prussia on the 14th July, 161. On the 14th January, 1858, Orsini and Pierri were guillotined for their diabolical attack on the life of the Emperor of the France; and on the 14th April, 1S65, the atrocious and cold blooded assassination of Abraham Lincola and the attempted murder of Mr. Seward convulsed America with grief and indignation and shocked the whole civilized world." The following advertisement appeared in the Syracuse Courier recently : "Manure wanted stable manure. Any person having from five to fifty loads to dispose of will send word or drop it through the poet office."

B. TalUy, buried in the old Foundry burial ground, and reinterred It in tho Congressional Cemetery. The body had been interred in low ground, and tho grave was half full of water. Notwithstanding il has been sixteen years since the interment was made, the pine caso and mahogany coffin were found in a perfect state of perservatien. Some curiosity being expressed as to the stato of the bod-, the coffin was opened. The body and shroud were found to be in a perfect state of perservation. On further examination the body was found to have almost the hardness and eonsistenc3' of stone, showing that petrifaction was rapidly going on. Star. The following farewell address of a Western editor to bis readers, though not new, is a good hit 4a not a bad hit at what is called freedom of the press. Each individual freeman will give you perfect liberty to contradict and controvert the nations and opinions of every body but himself : ' v" "The undersigned retires from the editorial chair with a complete conviction, that all ia vanity. From the hour he started his paper to the present time he .- ba been solicited to lie upon every given subject, and cant remember everhaving told a wholesome truth without dim iaishing his subscription list, or making ' an eneroy. Under these circuHStances of trial, and having a thorough contempt for himself, he retires ia order to recruit ' his moral constitution.'

Creative Gejiius. Hiram Powers, in ' reply to a friend who speaks to bim of the "creative genius" of the) artist, made -this striking reply, which wan recorded by a correspondent of the Boston Watch- . r maq and Reflector: "I do not like the use , of that word crtaU in connection with ,r any finite effort. A poet ha said of , Shakespeare that he, ' , "Exhausted worlds aad SksB enalad saw." ' It is the wrong word. It always, aomehow, shocks me as being irreverent. All that any man can do ia to'CaklTwnai exists in the form of elements, aad com- i bine them into new forms : estd bis ' ability in this kind of effort measures genius.
