HORACE GREELEY.-Poverty Is a gloomy
presence in any home, American power
ty,-and boy who saw the household goods
distrained by the sheriff. and his father in
flight from the debtors prison, no doubt found
the morning OF life dark enough; and even
when her time came, fortune presented herself
to young Greeley masked and looking at the
best like very hard favored virtue. When
his father was about to quit New England, the
printer apprentice walked over from the town
where he was learning his trade to that where he
was to take leave of his family. In words which
must 80 to the hearts OF all those who have
known what homesickncss is, how very closely
and tenderly common endurance and hardship
knit parents and children together, he tells that
some Of his kindred urged him to so with the
rest, and not return to his place in the printing
Office. " was sorely tempted to comply" he
says, "but it would have been bad faith to do so.
=. A word from my mother, at the critical
moment, might have overcome my resolution !;
but she did not speak it. . :. After the
parting was over, and we'll on my way, was
strongly tempted to return; and my walk back
to POultney twelve miles, was one OF the Slow
est and saddest of my life.
Nothing could have been very difficult after
this, and there seems to have been no other
moment of the authors life that asked SC great
fortitude and resolution. 1t was success; but
lie Is an arIlnl romance, anu pOStpOieS ltS &c
noutcncntS. There was vast deal to go
through before the destined greatness Of the
" Tribune" could be accomplished. How the
| apprentice became journeyman printer in
Western New York and in New York City,
then an editorial necessity Of the politicians,
employed and paid by them, the first in
dependent and courageous journalist we have
ever had lis pretty we'll known to everybody /;
but everybody may read it hear with fresh
| pleasure, in that light and circumstance which
man can best give his own life. At every
point the career is an interesting one, and in
! great part it includes national history.
Thanks to the peculiar constitution of his
mind, which while it lacks the qualities of orig
inality or genius, is yet boldly tentative he has
been identified or connected with every social
and political movement which has promised to
benefit or elevate mankind; and he has some
thing to tell US Of them all. We think certain
readers, who have learned rather from his enc
mics than from himself to regard him as reck-
less innovator will be surprised to find him 50
conservative as he is of all that really holds
human society together for good, marriage,
the family religion, subordination. .-AtiCtHttC

Drinking Customs Of the Last
Century.

There is a story told in the Pco-
pies Journal which gives good
idea of the drinking yle Of the last
century. This was what our
grandiathers took for humor. The
Lord Panmure here spoken Of was
the father Of the present Lord
Dalhousic. 1.-Two young English
noblemen were paying visit to
Lord Panmure ut Berchin Castle.
One day he wrote a letter 10 Pan
lathe, a tenant of his TO como and
dine with him, and at the samo
time he ordered him TO bring a
sum Of money. Panlathic was
aware when he got that order that
something was to be done. After
dinner, Lord Panmure gave the
first toast, which was, All hats in
the fire, or 92O Oh tho tablo. Four
hats were Immediately in the fire.
One o. the English noblemen gave
the next toast, All coats in the fire,
o. ESQ on the table, Four coats
we're committed to the flames
Tho other English gentleman gave
the next toast, 'All bnots in
the fro, or &l00 on the table The
whole Of the boots wero committed
to tho flames. Panlathie's toast
came next, which was, Two FORE
teeth in tn: fire or f200 en- the Ia.

teeth out and threw them in the
