Iouis Leader, comments as follows upon
the statement that Horace Greeley had
According to the last bulletin of the
pevivalists, that beloved of higgledy
ale theories, Horace Greeley has been
55rought to see the sinftllness of his soul,

shrieking. They Say that he has given
m Kansas, and now goes for Heaven.-
I'VE perceive, however, that grace did not
fall upon him, until after he had seen how
the vote went in the Senate.

il His majesty will have lost his prime
minister; nor do we, see how he can form
any working administration without that
admirable premier.
We fear, however, that it will turn out
that Horace. has taken Christianity for
another new ism, the latest and most
popular crotchet of the day. Indeed, it
would be pity, if man couldn't believe
in the Bible, who has believed in every
thing else. ~

urable delights, which re-animate the being and
