From the New York LEDGER"
RECOA..ECT,GHs or BUSY LyrE.
By HORACE GREELEY.
The Tribune.

On the 10th day of April. lSil-a
day of most unreasonable chill, and
slect, and snow-our city held her
great funeral parade and pageant in
honor of our lost president, who had
died six days before Gen. Robert
Bogardus, the venerable Grand Mar
shal oftne parade, died not long after
ward of exposure to its inclemencics.
On that leadcn morning | issued the
first number of The Ncw York Tribune.
1t was a small sheet, for it was to be
retailed for cent, and not much of a
newspaper could be afforded for that
price, even in those spccic-paying
times. | had been melted to this en-
tcrprise by several Wing friends, who
deemed cheap daily, addressed more
especially to the laboring class, emil
ncntly needed III our city, where the
only two cheap journals then and still
existing--7he san and The HeraM-
were in decided, though unavowed, and
therefore more effective, sympathy and
affiliation with the Democratic party.
Two or three had promised pccuiaryaid
if it should be needed; only one (Mr.
James Coggeshall, long since dccaased)
ever made good that promise, by loan
ing mc$l 900 which was dulyand CRATE
fully repaid, principal and interest. |
presume others would have helped me
had asked it but'I never did. Mr..
Dudley S. Gregory, who had volunta-
rily loaned me 81 900 to sustain The
New Yorker in the very darkest hour
of my fortunes, in 1887, and whom |
had but recently repaid, was among
my most trusted friends in the outset
of my new enterprise, also but l was
able to prosecute it without taxing
Il no longer needed to test his gener-
Osity.
My leading idea was the establish
ment of a journal removed alike from
scrvile partisanship on the one hand and
from gagged, mincing neutrality on
the other. Party spirits so fierce and
intolerant in this country that the
Editor of a non-partisan sheet is re-
strained from saying what he thinks
and feels on the most vital important
topics; while on the other hand, a
Democratic, Wing or Republican
journal is generally expected to praise
or blame, like or dislike, culogize or
condemn, in precise accordance with
the views and interest of its party. /
believe there was a happy medium be-
tween these extremes-a position
from which a journalist might openly
and heartily advocate the principles
and commend the measures of that par
ty to which his convictions allied him
yet dissent frankly from its course on
plrticular question, and even denounce
its candidates if they were shown to be
deficient in capacity or (far worse) in
integrity. / felt that journal thus
loyal to its guiding convictions, vet
ready to expose and condemn unwor-
thy conduct or incidental error ON the
part of men attached to its party, must
be far more effective, even party wise,
than though it might always be count
ed on to applaud or reprobatc, bless or

GooD ADvIcE-If your coat is
comfortable wearit two or three months
longer-no matter il the gloss is off.
If you have no wife, get one. If you
have one, bless God stay at home

gambling table-these are expensive
luxurlcs where manl- men bcggar their
families and blow outtheir own brains
in remorse. Be honest, frugal, plain !:
strive to make others happy around
you, and if you are in debt you will
soon get out. If your circumstances

Careless s.ct.er Writers.

According tothc Postmaster Generals
report, not less than a million letters
were mailed last year, without sigma
lures, and misdirected, or so badly
directed that the address was totally
unintelligiblc. These were destroyed.
More than million and half others
1911 ,6S6-were restored to their
writers by the care of the dead letter
Office. Thus it seems that at least
two and a half million of mistakes
were made, in an operation which one
would thiuk likely to enlist the suffi-
cient care Of the writer, the addressing
of a letter. These letters contained
nearly sl50,000 in money, bills of
exchange, deeds, checks, &C., to the
value Of over s5,OOO,OOO, and over
$4,000 contained photographs, ,jewclry,

EPIGRAMS.

I
haps the most appropriate dishes in
which to serve up light wit. The
effect is about the same in each. The
methods of the two are different.
The conundrum states a proposition,
and requires an answer without a
demonstration. The epigram argues
the question and reaches logical con-
clusion. The epigram is slow. The
conuudrum is quick. The latter re-
quires accuracy of statement, the for
mer consisting of argument. In fact,
the epigram is labored conundrum.
Both depend generally upon a play
upon words. To illustrate: "Why is
there no hereafter for chickens ? Be-
cause they have their necks twirled in
this" Here no one is supposed to
question the conclusion. If any one
should do so, reasoning may be rotor
ed to, thus
'Tis plain that chickens have no hope
For world of future bliss,
Since fate declares that they should have
Theirncxt world (necks twi-led) in this.
This gives the exact difference be-
tween two popular watering places
Saratoga and Newport you've seen them" "
Said Charley, one morning, to Joe;
"Pray tell me the difference between them,
For bother my wing if | know"
Quoth Joe, "Tis the easiest matter
AT once to distinguish the two
AT the one you go into the water,
AT the other it goes into you !"
Mathew Arnold throws out some
useful hints to poets, thus
What poets feel not when they take
A pleasure in creating,
The world in its turn, will not take
Pleasure in contemplating.
What have the women tosay to othis:
Women were born, so fatc declares
To smooth our linen anG our cares,
And It's but just, for by my troth
There very apt to ruitl, both.

the following dialogue about the vexcd

Coventry Patmore gives the follow
ing advice:
So let no man, in desperate mood,
Wed dull girl because she's good.
To which one might add:
And let no woman, in her plight,
Wed bad man because he's bright.

A soldier in the hospital, who had
his left leg amputated, addressing the
detached party, thus turns the calami-
ty to his advantage:
Strange paradox that in the fight
Where of thee was thus bereft,
lost my left leg for 'the right"
And yet the right is the one that's left!

She prove n god Industrious wife,
Ani leila happy pro3perol4 life;
in fact, In Western Penn Sylvanit
She hardly was surpassed by any.
Her sons and daughters grew around her,
AMI mluy were the ties that bound her,
But each She gave an Education,
A fortune that er lacks duration.
Here then, each sister and each brother,

The years of time have rollel away,
And thou art Sixty near, and gray:
A thousand now are thy descendants,
And these wore once untriel depcnlants,
Bat now each on some purpose bent,
They've scattered DER continent!
And, file with restless life ana motion,
few have dared the henying ocean,
Ana stood upon the hills OF Rome,
Or laved pcrchance where surges foam,
Among the islands of the sea
All owe u thousand thanks to thccl
The merchant standing in the mart;
The son ofscicnce, and of0rt,
with wisdom written on his brow;
The agriculturalist at his pow,
Filling with wealth the tceming loan;
The matron in her quiet home,
The teacher who by thee was taught,
The hero whose warm blood has brought
The Union that Is ours to-day;
The many who have passed away
The minister, physician, sage,
And every trade and sex and age
Now represent thee In lies ranks;
Each owes TO thee ten thousand thanks!
Well done the toast seems good enough;
But toasting is not just the stuff
That helps fellow when he's needy,
Orkceps his clothes from getting secdy
This is daily proven lesson

And Cts confidential, sister, brother9
She wears II constant, for no other
Has she, who clothed fair forms with know!edg
And sent her sons prepared to college,
And paved their way to wealth and fame:
But shall we leave her thus? NOT Shame
On him who shows insgatltude,
And who forscts the Kind ami gooi.

You'll he rewarded by and by.
