SHAMEFUL TREATMENT OF MR.
GREELEY BY THE REPUBLICANS.


From the N. Y. Sun
The defeat of the Hon. Horace Greeley at
Saratoga astonishes many people, and no one
more than the distinguished victim himself
Next to Governor Seward-and perhaps the
historian will place him in advance of that
eminent statesman-Mr. Greeley was the
founder and builder up of the Republican
party. His then influential journal, widely
circulated throughout the country, was for
twenty years recognized as a power in the
land, and prepared the opponents of the
slavery propagandists to accept ''the ire
pressible conflict" as the leading issue of our
times. And the editor, through good report
and through evil report, without favor and
without fear, continued to fight it out on
that line until, in the closing words of the
Buffalo platform, glorious victory crowned
his exertions.
And what reward has Mr.. Greeley received
for those days and nights of devoted toll 2
Since the organization of the party Seward
has been twelve years Senator and eight years
Secretary of State; Chase has been Senator,
Governor, Secretary of the Treasury, and is
now Chief Justice; Colfax has been Represen-
tative in Congress, Speaker, and Vice-Presi-
dent; Sumner has been kept all the time in
the Senate; Office after Office has been showered

AMERICAN RECOGNITION OF THE
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
From the N. Y. Herald

FRENCH REPUBLIC.
From the N. Y. Herald.
The prompt and decisive manner in which
General Grant, as President of the United
States, has instructed our Minister at Paris
to duly recognize the new provisional gov
ernment of France is an additional claim to
the appreciation of the American people.
Moreover, it is but a proper acknowledgment
of the enthusiastic feeling with which our
flag has been hailed by the people of Paris in
the moment of their great transition, and the
promptitude of Jules Favre to inform our
Executive of the great event. At the same
time it is Just rebuke to the petty renegades
who, nurtured and fed under republican
forms and by republican federation, lose no
opportunity to sneer at similar institutions
when established by any other people.
''That banner of stars, said the venerable
orator and writer Victor Hugo, at the ovation
offered him in the French capital on Wednes-
day last-''that banner of stars" he said,
pointing to the American flag, ''speaks to-day
to Paris and to France, proclaiming the
miracles of power which are easy to a great
people contending for great principle-the
liberty of every race, the fraternity of all :"
And, let us add, France needs now but fair
chance to shape her own destiny, without in
reference by reactionary intrigues, at home
or abroad, in order to show the world that
the republican form OF government is Tor
her, as for us, the only true and stable one.
Her provisional government has been COM
bined without one single act of violence,
and its preliminary acts, so far as interna al
management is concerned, are marked with
moderation and wisdom. Even the yelping
ours of monarchical conspiracy are abashed
and silent at Paris, and the chief of the Pro-
visional Ministry there receives "with pro-
found gratitude and emotion" the intelligence
that the great republic of the West holds forth
her hand cordially and unreservedly to her
young sister in the East. This promptitude
is one of the best American characteristics OF
most timely and worthy American act. The
mutual memories of 1776 are thereby fully
revived and warmed to fraternal heat again.
May they never more grow cold

Presbytery, in the main, are as well sup
ported here as they would be in any other

Now, if any Of our young brethren have

A Seeker after Truth.

Miguel, on his way to Lorena with Mr..
Mckee, had become acquainted with young
Brazilian, fine scholar, who expressed to
him and Mr.. Mckee an earnest desire to
study, with view to entering the Protestant
ministry. When we had arrived at Tanbate,
where the young man resides, Miguel took
me to see him. His name is j. G. B.; he is
young man about twenty-three years of
age. He speaks Latin correctly and fuently
also French and Portuguese; and understands
well Greek, English, German, Spanish,
Italian, etc. He told me that his mother
had destined him for the priesthood, but that
after some years of study, he could no longer
believe in Romanism, and gave it up. lie
then became an infdel and materialist, but
when he had read Volney, Voltaire, Renan,
etc., the simple reading of these books cured
him of infdelty. He then turned his at
tention to Lutheranism, but could not adopt
it on account of the doctrine of consubstan-
tiation; he then studied Calvinism, and be-
lieved that there he found the purest doc
trine, and in the Presbyterian church the
best form of government, but could not APP
prove of the execution Of Servetus, and if
modern Calvinists still thought it was right
to burn heretics, he could not agree with
them. l told him this was no part of our
doctrine. had not time for much converse
ton with him, but was highly pleased with
his whole manner. | have since received
the following letter from him:
81 received the New Testament in Greek
which you were so kind as to send me.
My faith is becoming stronger to day by day
| feel more and more that the vacuum which
deprived my heart of consolation is becom
ing filled with ineffable. joy; and secret
voice tells me that am one of the called
and chosen. This city is one of the most
fanatic for the Mohammedan religion o.
Rome; nevertheless, if there were among
you devoted minister, disposed to combat
manfully against the obstacles put in his
path by the Catholic priests, he would, [ be-
lieve, probably find some feet of good soil III
which would terminate the seed of the word
of the Son of man; probably more than one
wild sheep would be gathered in the fold. ,
:. When you write me, let it be in English
in order that the letter may not be under
stood if it should be violated.
The more l learn of this young man, the
better like him; and l hope that he shall
be so led of God, and by his providence, tina
he shall become an instrument of much COCO
to his countrymen.-Rev. Mr.. Schneider a
Foreign Missionary.

"Old Rattlebones !"

Says an old writer -" shall never for
get an incident of my childhood, by which |
was taught to be careful not to wound the
feelings of the unfortunate.
GA number of US schoolboys were playing
by the roadside one Saturday afternoon,
when the stage coach drove up to neigh
boring tavern, and the passengers alighted.
As usual, We gathered around to observe
them. Among the number was an elderly
man with cane, who got out with much
difficulty, and, when on the ground, he walked
with the most curious contortions. His feet
turned one way, his knees another, and his
whole body looked as though the different
limbs were independent of it and each other,
and every one was making motions to suit
itself, l unthinkingly shouted, Look at
old RattlebOnes!' while the poor man turned
his head with an expression of pain which
can never forget.
"Just then, to my surprise and horror,
my father came around the corner, and,
Immediately stepping up to the stranger,
shook his hands warmly, and assisted him to
walk to our house, which was but little
way off. could enjoy no more play that
afternoon, and when tea-time came would
gladly have hid myself, for I knew that he
would be in, and so tremblingly went into
the sitting-room. To my great joy and re-
lief, the stranger did not recognize me, but
remarked pleasantly to my father as he in
troduced me:-'Such fine boy was surely
worth saving"
GLOW the words cut me to the heart !
Ny father had often told me the story of a
friend who had plunged into the river to
save me as l was drowning, while an infant,
and who, in consequence of cold then
taken, had been made cripple by infam-
matory rheumatism; and this was the man l
had made butt of ridicule, and laughing
stock for my companions
81 tell you, boys and girls, I would give
a great deal to have the memory of that
event taken away. If ever you are tempted
as was, remember that, while no good can
come of sport whereby the feelings of others
are wounded, you may be laying up for your
selves life long painful recollections.

Going to Gods House.

On the parlor wall, where the first sun
beam lights it up in the morning, hangs a
pictured face in its wreath of immortelles.
The merry brown eyes and the smiling mouth
have nothing of death in their look; but
the unfading wreath speaks of the crowns
they wear beyond the river. So you DO not
wonder when loving lips tell you that the
little maiden lived twelve beautiful years On
earth, and then went home in one swift mo-
ment to .the Fathers house in the skies. .
We have many beautiful memories of her
left with us; but none sweeter than of the
little prattling child of three years, whose
words and ways were full of strange wisdom.
Once, an old friend of the family called
to spend an hour; and, as he said good by,
he lifted the gentle one in his arms, asking
lightly, ''Well, little Mary, when shall l see
you again.
"Oh, when we get to Gods House," wa:
her instant reply, her beautiful eyes smiling
in his face. The old man went away; but
the words haunted him, and when, few
years afterwards, he lay dying, he said tc
those about him:
"Tell little Mary c. 1 have gone tc
Gods House, and l shall wait to meet hel
there
Mary lived for twelve years, full of life
and merriment, fairly. overlooking with frOlic,
yet he who knew her best knew how much
of deep thoughtfulness was hidden under il
all.
"We were none of us so ready for sudder
death as Mary" yet no one was more full
of hopes and dreams for life.
She had no long sickness, only Sigh
cold that no one thought worth noticing
At midnight she had smile and a jest fol-
her brother; in an hour she was gasping fol
breath, and longing for the morning.
"Oh, if the morning would only come
l can't breathe in the darkness" was he
constant cry. But just at morning, will
the awful look of death setting on her soft
dimpled face, she opened her eyes wide in
food of light, exclaiming raptuously, eth
perfect day. The perfect day.
With that glad cry, she went home t.
Gods House. The gates opened wide t.
let her in, and we doubt not there were wei
coming hands stretched out to meet her. l

region. 1t was home familiar from child

Teaching by Parallels.

Great is the utility, in a discourse, of
happy image-clear and sharply defined to
the eye. As Fuller has said, images and
similitudes are the windows of thought. In
their power to open the avenues, for light to
stream into the understanding, we have often
been reminded Of the beautiful, the happy
verses of Bishop truthful and thoughtful
old poet, almost forgotten now:
When through chink darken'd room
Admits the solar beam
Down the long light that breaks the gloom
Millions of atoms stream.
In sparkling agitation bright
Alternate dyes they bear,
loo small for any sense but sight,
Or any sight but there
Nature reveals not all her store
To human search or skill;
But when she deigns to show US more,
She shows us beauty still.
Images and similitudes are the pictures of
the soul, and memory hangs them up in her
long gallery, and frequently reads the his
tory of some abstract thought, some recon
dite argument, by the light they afford
The structure of syllogism may be easily
forgotten; the pathway Of discourse may
easily be lost to the memory; but a happy,
and felcitous, and graphic picture will
abide. Elder and younger will alike bear
it away, refer to it, and repeat it again and
again. The opposite figure with which you
entertained your Sunday School class may
chance to be repeated by its members, and
children beyond them, to generations to
come. Logic may be an admirable lantern
but a parable similitude-is the light
within the lantern, without which its useful,
ness must be very questionable. Prize the
teacher who has the gift of parable.
