THE DEATH OF Mrs. GREELEY.-The
cold Hermit of New York, in his let
ter to the Troy Times, speaks of the
death of Mrs. Greeley and the early
struggles of herself and husband. He
says:
The death of Mrs. Greeley casts a
shadow on the political atmosphere, and
will temper the bitterness of partisan
warfare Henceforth the claims of sym
pathv hush the stern voice of reprOof.
Mr.. Greeley stands before the American
people as one smitten by an unutterable
bereavement. His wife was a peculiar
woman, to many unattractive and to
some repulsive, but she was the object
of his affection for nearly forty years,
and her very peculiarities made her the
more attractive. They commenced poor,
and fought the battle of adversely to-
gether, and hence were united by the
memory of such struggle During the
first seven years of their married life
Greeley was shifting for mere bread and
was not worth dollar He was almost
bankrupt on his wedding day, and he
failed outright three years afterwards.
well remember the place where this pow
erty-stricken couple lived 1t was the
Temperance House, SO Barclay street.
where a wholesome diet was offered
with lodgings for So 80 per week. When
Greeley had seen the worst of lifes bat
ties, and could purchase home he gave
it to his wife. and "Chappaqua" was
her estate. This is the sixth death in his
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1872-11-07
work and Wait.

A husbandman who many years
Had plowed his fields and sown iii tears,
Grew weary with his doubts and fears.
II toll in vaini These rocks and sands
VIII yield no harvest to my hands;
The best seeds rot in barren lands.
My dropping vine is whitening;
No promised grapes its blossoms bring;
No birds among its branches sing.
My flock is dying on the plain,
The heavens are brass-they yield no rain
The earth is iron-I toll in vain.
While vet he spake, breath had stirred
His dropping vine, like wing of bird,
And from the leaves voice he heard.
The germs and fruits of life must be
Forever hid in mystery,
Yet none can toll in vain for Me.
4 mfghtier hand. more skilled than thine
Must hang the clusters on the vine,
And make the fields with harvest shine.
Man can but work; God can create;
But they who work, and watch and wait,
Have their reward, though 1t come late.
Look up to heaven! behold and hear
The clouds and thunderings in thy ear
An answer to thy doubts and fear
He looked, and 10 -! a cloud-draped car,
With trailing smoke and flames afar,
| Was rushing from a distant star.
And every thirsty flock and plain
Was rising up to meet the rain,
That came to clOthe the fields with grain.
| And on the clouds he saw again
| The covenant of God with men,
Rewritten with His rainbow pen:
.'Seed time and harvest shall not fail,
/ And though the gates of hell assail,
! My truth and promise shall prevail"
