For the Jeffcrsonian.
Passages from Milton's "Paradise Lost."
John Milton was born at London in
the year 1G08. John Milton, his father,
a scrivener by profession, lived in a repu
table manner on a competent estate, en
tirely his own acquisition. Being disin
herited in early youth by his parents, for
renouncing the communion of the Romish
Church, he assiduously set about realiz
ing an independence for himself, by per
severance in literary pursuits.
The young poet was the great favorite
of his father's hopes; an.d having by care
ful foresight, detected the inborn genius
which early displayed itself, he was at the
expense of procuring a domestic tutor;
whom Milton afterwards celebrated in a
Latin elegy. He seldom quitted his
studies before midnight, aud often com
plained of a severe pain in his head, and
weariness in his eyes, which finally ended
in the total privation of his sight. From
his domestic studies he was removed to
St. Paul's School, to cultivate his classics
under the care of Dr. Gill; and trans
ferred from thenco to Christ College, in
Cambridge, where he was distinguished
for his superiority in all kinds of academ
ical exercises. In Cambridge he continued
to be a member, till he became Master of
Arts; and then retired to Ilortoo, in
Buckinghamshire, where he pursued his
studies with success.
Then commenced his literary and politi-
Cai
career. He traveled through France
and Italy, and intended to take a survey
of Greece and Sicily, but was compelled
to relinquish his project and return to
England. At Paris he became acquain
ted with the celebrated Grotius, through
Lord Viscount Scudatnore, the ambassa
dor from Charles I; and in Rome, Genoa,
Florence, and other cities, he contracted
a friendship with persons of the highest
reputation and learning.
He returned to Rugland at the very
time when the great Revolution was about
to throw desolation and bloodshed over
the land. lie received and protected his
father-in-law, who being a vigilant es
pouscr of the King's cause, was exposed
to ejectment and persecution from the
victorious faction. lie became Latin
secretary to Cromwell and the Parliament;
and continued to bo till the Restoration.
He left Whitehall and returned to St.
James's Park. His wife died in child
bed, and about the time of her death a
sntta
:rena, which had been
increasing.
totally extinguished his sight. The lijjht
of day was dimmed for ever to liis eyes,
but the celestial grandeur of the eternal
light, ho ever enjoyed.
He composed Paradise Lost in the days
of his darkness and sorrow. His daujrh
ters transcribed, as he delivered the grand
celebrities of the divine word, and the
Salvation of man. How prodigious! how
awfully sublime are the resources of the
poetic Oracle, amidst gloom and anxiety!
The high tone of an eternal requiem,
ever burns in the soul of the sutTerinc:
poet. Vivid ami picturesque, are the
climes of the unseen r-cgioas, beyond the
sphere of our Cnitude! Graphic and pa
thetic are the high conceptions of the
blind! How vast and dignified arc his
faculties of vision and languid aspirations,
as he sings:
" Ilaili holy light! offspring of heaven
firstborn!
Or of the eternal, co-eternal beam I
May I express thee unblamed? since God
is light,
And never but in unapproached light
Dwell from eternity: dwell then in thee,
Iri"ht effluence of bright essence in

Or hearest thou rather pure ethereal
stream,
Whose fountain who shall tell? Reforc

Before the heavens thou wert, and at tho

Of God, as with a mantle didst invest
The rising world of "waters, dark and

Won from the void and formless infinite.
Thee I rcrisit now with bolder wing,
Escaped the Stygian pool, though long
detained
In that obscure sojourn; while in my
flight,
Through utter, and through middle dark
ness borne;
With other notes .than to th' Orphean lyre
I sing of Chaos and eternal Night;
Taught by th' heavenly Muse to venture
down
The dark descent, and up to reascend.
Though hard and rare! Thee I revisit

Sings darkling, and in shadiest covert hid
Tunes her nocturnal note! Thus with the
year,
Seasons return, but not to mo returns
Day, or the sweet approach of even or

Or sight of Ternal bloom, or summer's

Or flocks, or herbs, or human face divine;
But cloud instead, and evcr-during dark
Surrounds me: from the cheerful ways
of men
Cut off; and for tho book of Knowledge

Presented with a universal blank
Of nature's works, to me expunged and
razed,
And wisdom at one entrance quite shut
out:
So much the rather thou, celestial Light,
Shine inward, and the mind through all
her powers
Irradiate; there plant eyes, all mist from
thence
Purge and disperge, that I may ace and
tell
Of things invisible to mortal sight."
The finest specimens of his poetic in
spiration, arc those wherein the misery
of his blindness is manifested. The idea
of light, varies the secular details of this
fine poem. Light is everywhere delinea
ted, in the most graphic and sympathiz
ing pictures. His verse is adorned with
melancholy languor, as his Muse traverses
the holy sepulchre of his soul. It was
tho " pain of loss" in every sphere of his
manhood; yet the light of divine truth
illuminated the deep treasures, of his all
'possessing intellect!
Tha value of light in the estimation of
Milton is beautifully depicted- iu Satan's
address to the Sun :
"O thou! that with surpassing glory
crowned,
Look'st from thy sole dominion, like the
god
Of this new world; at whose sight all the
stars
Hide their diminished heads, to thee I
call
But with no friendly voice, and add thy
name,
0 Sun ! to tell thee how I hate thy beams,
That bring to my remembrance from what
state
1 fell: how glorious onco above thy
sphere;
Till pride, and worse ambition threw
mc down.
Warring in heaven,, against heaven's
matchless King;
Ah wherefore! he deserved no such re
turn, From me, whom he created what I was
' In that bright eminence, and with his
good
Upbraided namo: nor was his service hard,
What could be less than to afford him
praise ?
The easiest recompence, and pay him
thanks
IIw due? yet all his good proved ill. in
me,
And wrought but malice; lifted up so
high,
I 'sdained subjection and thought oue
step higher,
Would set me highest, and in a moment
quit
The debt immense of endless graditude,
So burdensome, still payjng, still to owe;
Forgetful what from him I still received,
And understood not that a graceful mind,
By owing, owes not, but still pays at once
Indebted aftd discharged: what burden
then?
O had his powerful destiny ordained
Me some inferior angel, I had stood
Then happy! no unbounded hope had
raised
Ambition. Yet why not? some othor
power
As great might have aspired, and me,
though mean
Brawn to his part; but other powers as
great
Fell not, but stand unshaken from within,
Or from without, to all teuiptatious armed.
Had'st thou the same free will, and a
power to stand ?
Thou had'st
And so the arch Gend goes on. The
glory of the Invisible brought the misery
of being expelled from that light which
is to shine for eternity, before his eyes!
His unending and durable existence, was -j
to be wailing, and weeping, and gnashing
of teeth! j
But why enumerate the merit of this J
great poet? Why descaut on tho grand
eur and sublimity of his immortal poem ?
Tha varied beauties of his celestial scen
ery, have been pored over a thousand
times with delight and languid suscepti
bility; till they have become the very I
cant of criticism, aud philosopical inquiry ; ;
and till maxim however unintelligible, has j
found a place in the bosom of the inspired, j
How truely dignified are the iuimacu- j
lato connections of his Muse! What a

In a moment or two, a gentleman who(OWQ misapprehensions or to the craftiness
had reached the middle age of, life, arose !of mea who have selfiah ends to promote,
and requested the colored woman to take
his scat. '
"Think j'ou, sir," she replied, "I do
not wish to intrude."
"Not at all, madame ; no intrusion
whatever; the seat is yours. Do me the
favor to take it." This was said in a
style that Lord Chesterfield could not
have objected to.
The colored woman took the seat, and
the gentleman stepped to the head of the
car.
" You seem to be fond of niggers," said
one of tho two young men above mention
ed. " Do you allude to me, sir," responded
the gentleman.
" Yes, sir," replied the impudent stran
ger.
"Well, then," responded the
gentle-
man Kinuiy ana pnnosopliically, "you arc I
entirely mistaken, sir, in your judgment.
"Why, you gave that nigger your seat,
anyhow, and if that ain't showing partiali
ty for such like, I don't know what is,"
replied the young man, with a degree of
assurance equal to his impertiuencc.
The gentleman, not the least disconcer
ted, said : "I thiuk you are entirely mis
taken, my young friend. I am not a
aware that that respectable, well-dreased
and well-behaved colored woman, old
enough perhaps to be your grandmother,
is a nigger, locally, sir, there does not
appear to be anything niggardly above
her."
"Well, she's a nigger, anyhow, and nig
gers, oughtn't to be allowed to ride in the
the cars. If I was a driver I would'nt
stop for them," replied the young man,
doggedly.
"Oh, shut up," interposed a rough
looking working man, seated on the op
posite side of the ear, and who could not
help overhearing the conversation ; "you're
more of a nigger than she is. Color don't
make a nigger, don't you know that?"
"No, I don't know that," replied the
young man, emphasizing the last word in
a sort of "Jakey" style.
"That remark, sir," interposed tho gen
tleman, li3 evidently true. Your early'
education in regard to the human race,
as well as politeness, common sense and
common grammar, seems to have been
sadly neglected, but you aronot too young
to be taught politeness, if you have the
capacity to learn."
The young man, not at all abashed, made
some further remark, to which the gen
tleman replied that it was scarcely neces
sary to continue the conversation.
The impertinent stranger was evidently
too ignorant to comprehend well directed
and severe sarcasm. The Press

Twice Harried to the Same Woman.
It frequently happens that a man is
twice married ; but it is not usual for the
same man to be twice married to the same
woman. Such a case, however, really oc
curred not long since in Memphis. A
surgeon in the rebel army, after serving
until the close of the struggle, returned
to his home ccar Hopefield, Arkansas, to
fiud his houses burned and his wife gonej
Unable after long search to find the latter,
and believing she had wilfully abandoned
him, he procured a divorce, and returned
to Hopefield to practice his profession.
A few weeks ago he received word that
his wife was in West Tennessee and that
she was still faithful to him, but had
sought the hone cf a friend after their
house was burned down. A correspond
ence ensued ; only cue result was possible;
