Every man feels, and not strangely, that
there never we're such experiences of life as his
own. No JOY was ever like our joy, no sorrow
ever like our sorrow. JUDGED, there is kind
of indignation excited in us when one likcns
our grief to his own. The soul is jealous Of it
experiences, and does not like pride to be hum
bled by the thought that they are common. For
though We know that the world groans and
travails in pain, and has done so for ages yet
groan heard by our ear is a very different
thing from groan uttered by our mouth. The
sorrows of other men seem TO US like clouds Of
rain that empty themselves 10 the distance, and
whose long travelling thunder comes to US mel
lowed aud subdued, but our own troubles are
like storm bursting right overhead and send
ing down its bolts upon us with direct plunge.

Grant and Greeley, maintaining that GIANT is
''more of man every way, and Greeley mere

Greeley is in every way better fitted for Presl-
dent than Gen. Grant, and man Of far more

conferred upon Prince Bismarck by the corpo-
ration of that city. In the course of his reply
the Prince spoke of the meeting Of the Empe-
rors, and said that it would strengthen conf

as peace itself: he wished that history would
now remain at stand still for while in the
way of orders and honorary titles. Bismarck,
Gortschakoff. and General Mantcuffc have
received the Order of St. Stephen of Hungary
from the Emperor of Austria, and the sons OF
the Prince Imperial of Germany were made
