Horace Greeley's Advent in New
York.

Mr.. Greeley in his " Recollections Of
Busy Life" now in course of publication
in the Ledger, gives very interesting
narrative of his advent in the city of New
York, in 1881. We quote:-
1t was, if i recollect Alright, the 18th |
day of August 1881. was 20 years old
the preceding February, tall, slender, pale
and plain with ten dollars in my pocket,
summer clothing worth perhaps as much
more, nearly all on my back, and decent
knowledge of so much of the art of print
ing as boy will usually learn in the
office of country newspaper. But !
knew no human being within 200 miles,
and my unmistakably rustic manner and
address did not favor that immediate COM
msnd of renumerative employment which
was my most urgent need. However, the
world was all before me; my personal es-
tate tied up in handkerchief, did not at
all cucumber me; and / stepped lightly
off the boat and away from the detested
hiss of escaping steam walked into and
up Broad Street in quest Of boarding
house. found and entered one at or
near the corner of Wall but the price of
board given me was Sc per week; SO ]
did not need the giver's candidly kind sug
gestion that ! would probably prefer one
where the charge was more moderate.
Wandering thence, cannot say how, to
the North river side, / halted next at l68
West Street, where the sign of " Board
ing" on humble edifice fixed my atten-
ton. / entered, and was offered shelter
and subsistence at $3.50 per week, which
seemed more rational, and closed the
bargain.
Having breakfasted, began to ransack
the city for work and in my total ignor-
ance, traversed many streets where none
could possibly be found. In the course of
that day and next, however, must have
visited fully two-!hirds of the printing g-offi-
ces on Manhattan Island, without gleam
of success. 1t was midsummer, when busi-
ness in New York is habitually dull, and
my youth and unquestionable air of coun-
try greenness must have told against me.
When / called at the Journal of Com
merce, its editor, Mr.. David Hale, bluntly
told me that was runaway appren-
tice from some country office; Which was
natural though mistaken presumption.
l returned to my lodging on Saturday
evening, thoroughly weary, disheartened,
disguised with New York, and resolved
TO shake its dust from my feet next
morning, while could still leave with
money in my pocket, and before its aims
house could foreclose upon me.
But that was not to be. On Saturday
afternoon and evening, several young Irish
men called at my clearinghouse, in their
holiday saunterings about town ; and, be-
ing told that / was young printer, in
quest of work, interested themselves in
nv behalf. One among them happened
to know place where printers were
wanted, and gave me the requisite direc-
ton; so that, on visiting the designated
spot next morning, found employment
and thus, when barely three days resi-
dent l had found anchorage in New York

AFTER THE w AR

j.. G. WHITTIER.
He sits beside her. brotzed but young
Scarce seeming one day older
Than when, five years ago, he flung
A gun across his shoulder.
The same broad brow and sunny hair,
p. The same frank, blue eyes smiling,
y The face without a shade of care,
So earnest, yet beguiling.
Unaltered, and yet changed for bright
Upon his breast is cleaning
The star whose ever beck'n ming light
First set his spirit dreaming.
Its golden glories rise and fall
With each quick heart pusaton, ..
And he is only one of all
.. The brave ones of the nation.
Unaltered, yet changed, for see
Beneath the gtterng spangles
Where his young, strong right arm should be-
An empty coat sleeve bangles.
Thus, in the autumn afternoon
The blue mists slowly rising,
They sit as in that by-gone June, ...-..
When love first Stunned Disgusting
His one hand holding fast her twain
The brave heart proudly swelling,
AS breathe the fervent lips again
That tale so sweet in telling.
Unchanged? no, dearer for the star
That has hero named him:
But dearer for the lifelong scar
And the swift ball that manned him.
And if she sought the wide world through
Her heart could meier discover,
Nor fancy suitor half so true,
AS this, her One-armed lover.

One evening in mid-winter when the air was filed
