GREELEY FOR PRESIDENT.

On the subject Of the chances Of the Phi
lcsOpher for Mr.. Grants snug berth, che New
York World says:
SIT is not to be disguised that the candi-
dacy Of Horace Greeley for the Presidency
is taking hold Of the Republican masses in q
way that troubles and diseoncerts the nero
politicians aud re'pulling managers of the
party. That he Is an incOnceivably better
representative Of all the ideas Of his party
than General Grant, or indeed than any Of
the dozen candidates foe whose creation and
preservation the Tribune is more than half
responsible, is too clear to need proof. But it
Is not wholly this reason which has given
such unexpected impetus TO the movement
started by the Texas journey, the derisiOn of
carpet baggers, the tribute to Gen. Lee, and
the LivermOre letter. Il is the absurd per-
sOnal liking for the man Greeley which pre-
walls throughout the country
N-in all homes
Where bis sweet story eomes"
in the weekley Tribune. Doubtless the object
of this popular personal liking is n quite
fictitious entity, not ut all corresponding save
in some obvious outlines to the actual person
whose daily walk and conversation have been
observed and understood by those nearer home.
But the Republican masses would vote for
Greeley rs they think him, not for Greeley as
in truth he is; aud tho means do not exist
for exploding this apparition and revealing
the man. The Tribune might do it, as it has
exploded the phenomenon Of Conkliny but
then the Tribune wCn't aud so the fictitious
and misunderstood Greeley will remain the
real and popular candidate. And it is tho
fact With which politicians must deal, who
understand their epoch and expect to accom-
plish results"

"a The LynchburS Ne'rs says: We don't
wan. any such party leadership as requires
Southern men to defiIe their own nests for the
sake of success. If We cannot turn out the
present ravenous crew of obscene birds at
Washington, without declaring that our own
eagles of the COuEederacy were vuItures aud
buzzards, then the dirty nest, at the Federal
capital, SO far as We are concerned, may retain
Its present filthy occupants till the end of time.
We, for one, shall not echo the New York
Worlds utilization of JEFF. Davis, nor permit
a paper which bounded on the dogs of war
upon the South, ten years ago, to turn US into
dogs, and set US upon our own friends.

Don't Give Up.


A gentleman, travelling in the northern part
Of ireland, heard the voices of children, and
paused to listen.
Finding the sounds proceeded from a small
building used as a school house, he drew near !;
and as the door was open, he entered, and
listened to the words the boys were spelling.
One little fellow stood apart, sad and dis
pirited.
"Why does that boy stand there % asked
the gentleman.
"Oh, he is good for nothing !" replied the
teacher. {" There's nothing in him. can
make nothing Of him. He is the most stupid
boy in school,"
The gentleman was surprised at this answer,
He saw that the teacher was so stern and
rough that the younger and more timid boys
were nearly crushed. lie said few kind
words to him then placing his hands upon
the pobe brow of the little fellow who stood
apart, he said, One of these days you may
be fine scholar Don't give up, but try, my
BOY, try"
The soul of the boy was reused. His DOR
maDt intellect awoke. A new purpose was
formed. From that hour he became studious
and ambitious 70 excel, And he did become

Impure Water.

Few of us are aware of the deleterious
effects of impure water, or how prone water is
to mbibe the impurities of the air. Many of
us think if the water is clear and cold it must
be perfectly pure, though it has stood in a
close bedroom twenty-four hours but this is
far from true If pitcher of water is set in
a room for only few hours, it will absorb
nearly all the respired and perspired gases in
the room, the air Of which will have become
purer, but the water utterly filthy. The
colder the water is the greater the capacity to
contain these gases. At ordinary tempera-
lures pail of water can contain great
amount of ammonia and carbonic acid gas
and its capacity to absorb these gases is
nearly doubled by reducing the water to the
temperature of ice. This plainly shows us
that water kept in a room over night is totally
unfit for drinking purposes, and should moi
be used to gargle in the throat; also, that a
large pail Of water standing in a room would
help to purify the atmosphere, but should be
thrown away the next morning. 1t alsC
teaches US that the water from pump should
always be pumped out in the morning befor'
any of il is used.

A Good wife.

The following sentences from Seekers We'd
ding Ring are worth reading twice -" Hast
thou soft heart2-It is of Gods breaking.
Hast thou a sweet wife 2--She is of Gods
making. The Hebrews have a saying, He
is not man that hath not a woman. Though
man alone may be good, yet it is not good
that man should be alone. Every good gift
aud every perfect gift is from above A
wife, though she be not perfect gift, is a
good gift, beam darted from the sun Of
mercy. How happy are those marriages
where Christ is at the wedding Let none
but those who have found favor in Gods
eyes find favor in yours, Husbands should
spread mantle Of charity over their wives
infrmites. Do not put out the candle be-
cause of the snuff Husbands and wives
should provoke one another to love and
they should love one another Notwithstanding
proyocations. The tree of love should grow
up in the midst of the family as the tree Of
life grew 10 the garden Of Eden. Good SER
wants are great blessing good children a
greater blessing but a good wife is the
greatest blessing; and such help let him
seek for that lacks one let him sigh for that
hath lost one; let him delight in that enjoys

Many are on their death-beds before
they think rightly of life. They are going
out of the world while they begin to know
wherefore they came in it, We come in it
for this great business--to save our souls in
the faith and obedience of God; but when
we have time to do it, we forget that business,
and then begin to think of it when the time
appointed is gone. We spend much time in
doing nothing, and more in doing evil, but
little or none in the great matter whereof we
we're born. The soul must be in perplexity
at the door Of death, that seeth the day spent

task do not well agree together, All the
time that remaineth is too short fer lament
ing the loss of bygone time William Sfr1'
