BEFORE THE BURLfL.

Earth. let thy softest mantle rest
This woaricd child 10 thee returning,
Whose youth was Durtured at thy breast
Who loved thee with such tender yearning
Uo know thy fields aud woodland ways,
And deemed thy humblest son his brother -
Asleep. beyond our blame or praise,
We yield him back, o gentle Mother
or praise of blame, he drank bis flll
Who has not read tho lifelong story.
Aud dear wo hold his fame, but still
The man was dearer than his glory.
Aud now to us are left alone
The closet where his shadow fingers.
The vacant chair-that was a throne
The pen Just fallen from his fingers.
Wrath changed 10 kindness ON that pen;
Though dipped in gall it flowed with honey
One flash from out the cloud, and then
The skies with smile and jest were sunnyi
OF hate he surely lacked the art.
Who made his enemy his lover:
reverend head and Christian heartl
Where now their like the round world over'
He saw the goodness, not tho faint.
In many q poor. do-nothing creature.
And gave 10 sinner and TO saint,
But kept his faith in human nature:
Pcrchance he was not worldywise.
Yet wo who noted standing nearer.
The shrowd. kind twinkle in bis eyes.
For every weakness held him doarcr.
Alas! that unto him who gave
SO much, 80 little should be giyenf
Himself alone. he might not save
OF all fer whom his hands had striven.
Place freedom, fame, his work bestowed;
Men took, and passed, and left him lonely;-
What marvel, if beneath his load.
At times be craved-fOr justice only
Yet thanklessness, tho serpent's tooth.
His lofty purpose could not alter;
Toll had no power TO bend his youth.
Or make his lusty manhood falter;
From envy's sling. from SANDERS dart.
That armored soul the body shielded.
TIL one dark sorrow chilled his heart.
End then he bowed his head, and yielded.
Now, now, we measure at its worth
The gracious presence gone forever
The wrinkled East, that gave him birth.
Lame1ts with every laborng river;
Wild moan the free winds Of the West
For him who gathered to her prairios
The SONS of men, and made each crest
The haunt Of happy household fairies:
And anguish sits upon the mouth
OF her who came to know him latest:
His heart was ever thine. o South
He was thy truest friend. and greatestf
He Stunned thee in thy splendid shame.
He stayed thee in thy yoiceless sorrow;
The day thou shalt forget his name.
Fair South, can have no sadder morrow.
The tears that fall from eyes unused
The hands above his grave united,-
The words of men whose lips he lOosed.
Whose cross he bore, whose wrongs he righted,-
Could he but know. and rest with this
Yet stay, through Deaths low-lying hollow
His one last foes insatiate hiss
On that benignant shade would follow
Peacel while we shroud this man of mon
Let no unhallowcd word be spoken
He will not answer thee again.
His mouth is sealed. his wand is broken.
Some holier cause, sonie vaster trust
Beyond the vail, he doth inherit:
o gently. Earth. receive his dust.
And Heaven soOthe his troubled spirit!

sort. Mr. Greeley had remarkable quannca-
tions for the profession which no adopted
quick perception OF the Significance OF events
n Keen scent for intelligence, m accurate
Judgment of the mutual relations OF occur
renccs n ready appreciation OF the DRIFT OF
popular currents, and a sympathetic compro-
hension of the public temper Of the hour
we're among the gifts and requirements which
he brought 10 his task. His fund of
information was vast aud varied. His
memory was marvel His ingenuity
In argument and illustration was inexhausd-
bic. A clear, direct forcible style, OF almost
painfnl conciseness, but illuminated ut times
by flashes of wit, by touches Of tenderness,
and by tho happiest Of homely metaphors, set
forth his clear and earnest thought; while a
singularly magnetic temperament infused a
great deal of his own fervor into the men who
worked with him. Thus equipped, Horace
Greeley could hardly fail TO make great
newspaper but he did not make 1t to sell.
THE TRIBUNE never was commercial specu-
lation and if it prospered under his manage
ment, and grew to be n far grander and richer
thing than in his early days no had dreamed
Of making it, this was not because he ever
sacrificed the utterance of a single conviction
for the sake of pecuniary profit, but because
truth will force its way and honesty In the
long run will compel the respect of mankind.
The success of Horace Greeley is the best
encouragement for the journalism OF the
future. 1t teaches our profession that nobler
career is open to us than that of the thought
less gatherer of news apd gossip, or the huck-
ster of literature who deals in anything that
people want to buy, and the blackguard
whose abusive tongue wags at the command
of whoever will pay for its service
"He who by voice or pen," said Mr.
Greeley, "strikes his best blow at the impos-
:" lures and vices whereby our race is debased
"and paralyzed, may close his eyes in death,
consoled and cheered by the reflection that
che has done what ho could for the emancl-
"pation and elevation of his kind" But this
shall not be his only recompense. The story
of Horace Greeley teaches us that it Is the
journalist of strong convictions, unselfish pur-
poses, and unfinching courage who WINS at
the last the honors and prizes of his calling,
the respect of his fellow laborers, and the
affection of his eOuntrymen.

The proceedings in Congress, yesterday, as
well as the demeahor of the members as they
returned to work, gave evidence of the estab-
lshment of an EZRA of good feeling" So far,
Congress has not shown any inclination to
heed the indisereet advice of those who would
like to see the animosities of heated cam
paign carried into the legislative business OF
the country. The action of the House, par
ticularly, in refusing TO excuse Gen. Banks
from the Craftsmanship of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, was graceful, dignifed, and
worthy of imitation.
New-York tribune., 1872-12-03

In accordance with the action of our NUM-
cipal Government the mortal remains OF Mr.
Greeley will lie in state to-day in the Gov
emors Room at the City Hall, between the
hours of 9 q. m. and 10 p. m. under the guard
of deputations from the City Council and the
Typographical Union. They Will not be again
exposed to public view. On tomorrow the
funeral services will be held at the Church of
the Divine Paternity (the Rev.~Dr. Chapin'sO
on the corner of Fifth-ave. and Forty
ffth-st., at II o'clock. There will be no
procession going to the church, save that OF
the City authorities and their guests from
the City Hall; and that of the Pail Bearers,
Family, Tribune Association and employees,
and representatives from other newspapers,
following the remains. In the process
sion from the Church place will be
provided for all organizations desiring to
join it, by the Mayor and Superintendent of
Police, who, on behalf Of the City Govern
ment, have assumed the entire charge of this
part of the funeral Dispatches from two
members of the Cabinet announce that the
President of the United States will attend.

TIE ARMY.

Beyond the usual statistical summaries OF
the various Bureau returns, the 9anual Report
of the Secretary of War does not go far. 1t is
already known that tho standing force of tho
Army has been reduced to its peace minimum !;
the number of enlisted men is about the same
as 1t was at the breaking out of the late
Rebellion. The cost of maintaining this force,
however, yet remains propOrtionately larger
than heretofore. But the reports and esti-
mates show that this expense is steadily de-
creasing. The military expenditures for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1872, were S427,S34
less than for the preceding year; and the esti-
mates for the current year are more than
81. 500, 900 less than those of last year. This is
a fair showing for the War Department; and
as long as we have here no official explanation
of the complications which the sales of arms
TO the French and the disposition of the pro-
ceeds therefrom occasioned, we must accept it
a. final and conclusive. There seems to be some
Improvement in the personnel OF the main
force of enlisted men, Judging from the casual
glimpses which we get in different parts oi
the Report. That the desertions are fewer in
number than formerly is ascribed to the iniiu-
ence of better pay. Is it not fact, however,
that any army, as it recedes from the extraor-
binary exigencies OF war service improves IN
discipline and moralef The suggestion that
soldiers condemned to confinement ON account
of purely military oiienses are demoraiized ana
made vicious on account of their submission
to the degrading influences Of State peniten-
tiaries, is more just than complimentary 10
our State penal institutions. Whether we ac-

Sneakor Blaine could not well afford to do

motion for the appointment of such Com
mi,tce of Investigation should have come
first from Mr. 0alkes Ames, against whom the
case is more grave and direct. But the
Speaker took the earliest opportunity to in
vite Mr.. 5. S. Cox into the chair, and asked
for such an inquiry at the hands of the

Steps toward the solution of the North Caro-
lima Senatorial difficulty have at last been
taken. Messrs. Vance and Merrimon have
each been withdrawn by their partisans. This
breaks up the Conservative deadlock, and, as
no other candidate has yet been agreed upon,
the total strength which has been united on
these rival chieftains is scattered whimsically
among about seventy candidates. AS soon as
The two Conservative wings can agree, they
will be able to elect their candidate, as Mr..
Pool receives only 55 out of 162 votes. 1t is
barely possible, however, that the Vance
Nerrimon contest has now made an agreement
Dut of the question.

AN EYE 10 BUSINESS.


For scientific electioneering,
whether in politics or religion,
commend us to Washington City.
Last Sunday, SO says the telegram,
an immense crowd assembled at
one of the metropolitan churches,
drawn thither by the announce
ment, through the press, that the
japanese embassy would be pres
eut. Not single Jap was visible
10 the naked eye, but the disap-
pointed throng, who would have
rushed ont of any secular place of
resort, pell-meli, were polite enough
to pocket their ill-humor and sit
through the exercises. The offici-
atiDg clergyman, delighted at the
sight OF an audience considers bly,
larger than ever before listened to
his ministrations, made few brief
remarks before beginning the SER
vices. These remarks are set
down as follows: 81 would state to
the congregation that the an
nouncement relative to the pres
ence of the Japenese embassy here
to-day was made without any au-
thority, but ! am informed by Min
lister De Long that the embassy,
or portion of them, scfH cisit this
church nert Sunday" So, of course,
next Sunday there will be another
crowd, AID the question naturally
arises whether the members there
of will go to worship God or see
the Japanese?-whether this is not
bringing religion down to the same
level as the show business.

BISHOP LEVI SCOTT.

This venerable and excellent
Christian Bishop presided at the
Kansas Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church lately in ses-
sion in this place. This was his
third visit to the conference, and
no man is more deeply loved and
venerated by the Methodists of
this State.
Bishop ScotG was born in the
State of Delaware in 1902, convert
ed in 1922, and received on trial in
the Philadelphia Conference in
1926. From 1910 to 1S43 he had
charge of the Grammar School of
Dickinson College. In 184S he
was elected Book Agent for the
Concern at New York, and contin-
ued in that office until 1852, when
he was elected to the office he now
holds, and since that time he has
been the untiring servant of the
Church, cheerfully going wherever
duty called, and enduring for
Christ's sake tolls and pains that
would have discouraged most men.
He has been through all sorts of
service in the church, and has had
some hand in every movement of
Methodism for the last forty-six
years. He has been junior preach
er, preacher in charge on four
weeks circuits, stationed preacher,
Presiding Elder and Bishop.
He has attended every General
Conference since 1886, including
the Conference of that year. In
1852 he volunteered to visit Libe-
| ria, Africa, to look after our miss
ions there, and this service came
near costing him his life. He has
been to the Pacific coast three
times, and has traversed the length
and breadth of the land, presiding
in annual conferences, preaching
Christ, and strengthening the
| churches. With the burden of
three score and ten years upon
him he is now making this trip to
the west, presiding each week in
an annual conference for nine sue
cessiye weeks, closing about the
10th of April, and then will hurry
through the work of preparation to
meet the general Conference which
sits on the 1st of May.
Bishop Scott presides with dig
nifty, yet is 50 benignant, just and
impartial that every one feels that
he has special friend in his pre-
siding officer. His preaching is
evangelical, spiritual, and often ex-
ceedingly powerful. His appeals
on the necessity of conversion to
God, are often backed by the most
touching illusions to his own ripe
experience. Altogether he is a
faithful, able and impartial admin
istrator of the laws of the Church,
an exemplary minister of the Lord
Jesus, and a most estimable Chris
tian gentleman. 1t is hoped by
the whole Methodist Church, that
he and his colleagues, Bishop james
Simpson and Ames, will be soon
relieved the overwork that now
taxes each of them to the utmost.
