Horace Greeley.

This earnest worker has been lecturing in Ohio
We like to read the writings of man who has
fought his way through all kinds of fortune, to an
honorable eminepce.
The extract below is the closing of his lecture
on :. Reforms and Reformers." delivered in Gin
cinnati last week:
To the earnest. true reformers life s indeed no
holiday feast. and Earth no Eden, garnished with
singing birds ard flowers. The most sangune
soul is not long in learning how much stronger is
old Adam than young Meancthon. Yet it is a
great thing TO be reforlner, but one scorned
through life. The tombs of the dead prophets are
built only of the stones hurled at them while
living.
To speak plainly the word is destined ultimate
ly to heal mems deadliest maladies, yet certain to
evoke direst curses. This is a heroism whereof
no other forlorn hope but that of humanity is
capable.
Meanwhile let us cherish the Reformer, with
him, while we respect the proper force and legit-
mate func ion of Conservatism. we must say:
Standing still is childish foily;.
Going backward is a crime;
me should patiently endure
Any ill that he can cure.
Onward keep the march of time,
Onward while wrong remains
TO be conquered by the right
While oppression lifts finger
To affront as by his might;
While an error clouds the reason
Of the universal heart,
! Or slave awaits his freedom,
Action is the wise mans part.
But the earnest, unseifish Ref"rmer-born into
state of darkness, evil and suffering, aud laborng
toAreplaee thereby light and purty-he may fall
and die, as so many have done before him-but he
cannot fail His vindcation shall geam from the
walls of his hoyel, his dungeon his tomb. 1t shall
shine in the radiant eye of uncorrupted childhood.
and fall in blessings focn the lips of the high
hearted. generous youth. As the untime'y death
of the good is strongest assurance of the Res
direction, so the life, worn out in conflict with
wrong and woe is our most conclusive evidence
that wrong and woe shall cease forever.
Not to have beena Reformer is rot to have truly
lived. Life is a bubble which any breath may dis
solve. wealth or power a snow fake-but to have
lived SO that there is one less orphan to choose
between starvation and infamy-one less slave to
feel the lash-to have lived SO that the eyes o
some one whom Fame shall never hear of, are
frightened, and others suffused at the mime of the
| beloved one-so that the few who knew him truly
presence, which was here for season, and ief
the world no worse for his stay in it-ths surely is
to have really lived and not wholly in vain.
