he had to return bareheaded to his

From the New York independently
A Parting Song.
We sing and part, and shall not meet
Till leaves are brown beneath our feet
Ii so the leaves we chance 10 tread,
For haply they may fall, instead,
In silence on our lowly head.
Lead autumn leaves. that fluttcr down
To bury all the graves in brown.
By what new stones are they to falll
The friends whose loving name we call
Are few, and we would keep them all.
Yet now we part, as we have met,
In merry mood, with no regret
Except that oft merry mood
Soon leaves us pensive and subdued,
And sorrow fills our solitude.
What social hours we now recall,
We end them here, for these are all;
The night waneS late, the dews fall fast
The gladdest hours are soonest past;
We stay, to lengthen out the last.
But soon the budding fruits grow ripe;
And soon the blackbird blows his pipe,
To end his carols with his mate;
Twill not be long-we only wait
Till Summer shuts her garden-gate.
Yet should we meet amid her bowers,
The roses shall make sweet the hours,
And wooing thrush, or brooding dove,
Whose nest is in the vines above,
Shall watch our friendship turn to love
The leaves grow golden with the sun;
Gods glory enters every one,
And gilds il with heavenly guise;
/ So may we, while the Summer dies,
Grow purer by its own pure skies.

\ correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal. who travelled to Pixies Peak with
Horace Greeley, writes from Station
10:
An admirable travelling companion
is Mr.. Greeley, with an exhaustible
fund or numerous experience and
mirthful anecdote, philosophy that
neither frets nor grumbles at annoy
ances, and an always bcnignant coun-
tcnance, radiant with a clear con
science, sound digestion, and abund-
ance of the milk of human kindness.
Occasionally. when crossing rivulets
on foot, he sinks in mire to the knees,
but maintains his serenity undisturbed.
In amusing the marvellous little Ida"
he shames her mother altogether in
the use Of "baby talk" and other
seductive arts to captivate infant aiiec-
tions. To-day we met party of re-
turning Ohio omigrants. who had
mircd their wagon in slough, from
which their weary cattle were unable to
extricatc it. He gave few common
sense directions about using the spade,
and then took hold Of the lever and
pried at the wheel with vast deal ol
vim. Meanwhile, one of the emf
grants, having learned something OF
his profession, asked:
What New York paper are you
connected with, sir?"
The Tribune"
"Oh, yes; you're with Greeley, arc
you?"
"Ycs, sir" was the dry reply, the
editor in the meanwhile tugging away
like an Irish laborer. just as the
wheel was extricated, some one came
along who recognized the old white
coat, and made its owner known to tho
crowd. l think | never saw men more
amazed.
Almost every train we meet contains
some one who recognizes him, and
the emiSrants flock around and scru
tinize him as if he were the seventh
wonder of the world. But yesterday
on the outskirts of crowd, rather
stolid looking man asked of me:
Stranger, is that John Greeley
those fellows are talking 50 mucl
about?''
"No. sir, that's Horace"
"Horace-Horace Greeley-who i
hc?"
The editor Of the Tribune"
which,"
"The editor Of the New York Til
bune."
Whats that"
"a newspaper published in New
York"
NO, never heard OF it before"
My friend," said ], "where wcr
you raised?"
"ln Missouri"
The explanation was satisfactory.
