Tho Helcction Of J. Lothrop MotIey ns

for Tho choice tho President haa declined

suggestive Hnowspapar discussion .has kept
bcfsru tho Presidents eye, if he eero much
given to 9nnntng tho New York tosssnals,
that the nomination Of Horace Gaeeley as
N.nisser to England would be not unn atu-
nj or improbable tribute to Republican

Grcalcy feaving his friends 10 aay o1 do what
they might be disposed, without unbcndine
his pE1de, which aal4 for, nothing. hut
growls If nothing is given. Thar. Al two
reasons. however,, why President Graut
would prefer not to be represented bY Mr,
Greeley at the Court of England, Or any
,osncr hssf.caass mission.- Nj. Greeley was
one of the last Republicans to succa,nb to
universal demand Of tho party for Con-
cssl Gsnns IS theiz candidate, his preference
biting fszn]y, eazly md l4te, for
eause. Presidents seldom nominate
10 hrht3class missions thoes politicians
in whose despite they bold thals Office. Mr..
Lincoln had habit OF making uae Of his
opponents, but the faculty is rare. But
pfehaoly tho quality which has rendered
Ar. Greeley unavailable Tot this, as
Tor all pspvioua ofaees to which no has. us-
ptse,a, is that 3tr. Greeley wears TOO large a
hat, and carries under it too much egotis.n.

Select Poetry
CALUMNY AND SCANDAL.


What is that vice which still prevails,
When almost every passion fails;
Which with our very dawn begun,
Nor ends but with our setting sun;
Which, like a nQSious weed, can spoil
The iaircst t!ow'rs and choke the soil II
'Tis Calumny-with shame own,
The lice of human kind alone. ~
The ihsidicus slandr'ihg thief is worse
Than the poor rogue WHO steals your purse.
Say, he pnrloins your glltcring store:
Who lakes your gold takes trash-no more.
Perhaps he pil.ers-lo be fed
All! guiltloss wretch who steals for bread!
But, the dark william who shall ain
To blast thy fair, thy spo,lcss name,
He'd steal preeiohs ecm away,
Steals what both Indies can't repay.
Be good yourself, nor think another's shame
Cav raise your merit or adorn your fame;
Virtue is amiablc, mild serene,
Without all beauty, and all peace within.

REMARKABLE MARRIAGE = BETRoTHkD TO
THREE BRoTHERs.-The Americus (Ga.) Cou-
risr relates tho particulars of case in that
county, in which the bride was betrothed TO
three brothers, and married to two of them,
which is rather remarkable
On the 9Th of August, 1866, a young man
came to Americus aud procured license to
marry an estimable young lady, residing seYe-
raj miles from this city; vent home, and was
married in the afternoon Of that day. He was
attacked by congsstve chill, which termi-
mated in his death the following Saturday-the
stricken bride following his remains to their
last resting place, clothed in the same suit
in which her heart had boen made glad by be-
coming his bride.
On the following August (le67), the second
brother Of the same family came to Amerious
for the same purpose which had brought the
deceased one year previous. On his way home,
rejoicing in happy anticipation OF making the
worthy widow OF his lost brother his own bride,
he was caught in heavy rain, and arrived at
homo with his clothing thoroughly saturated,
from which he was taken with q congestlve
chill the same evening, and diod the evening
previous TO the marriage, which was to have
taken place the following Sabbath. Again, in
stead of listening to the merry ringing OF the
marriage bells, tho death knell was heard and
funeral procession took the place OF the mar
riage feast.
Sometime during last month the third bro
ther Of the deceased procured license, and
was happily married to the twice-bereaVed
lady,
