Horace Greeley was yesterday nominated
for President by the convention al Clncln-
natl. 49,
he is the grandson of an Irlshman, and will
be likely 10 carry the Irish vote.
By birth. by education, and by sentiment,
he is an out.arfd-out American.
The Germans seem to be for him enthusias'
ticaly.
The South is for him, both coored and
white.
The North is for him. The Liberal Republi-
cans ar" for him, heart and soul, and the
Democrats appear to be for him also.
The East is for him.
The Wes: is for him.
We hare done our duty in bringing him for
ward and making him a candidate.
II only remains for the people to do theirs
and elect him.

from the New York Times.l
Nobody in his senses believes that so emf
:penlly shrewd and practical people as this
would ever place such man as Horace Gree
ley at the head OF their government. II uHy
one man could send great nation 10 the dogs,
mat man Is Mr.. Greeley. There Is 10 deparl-
ment OF business which he would not dsor-
sanize and unsetlle; there Is no wild "snl''
which he would not endeavor 10 incorporate

is no foreign country with which he wonid not

barley, and such like-produce their eff
fects only in masses. Individual stalks
are quite insignificant. 1t is the community
and not the individual that is beautiful
But field of corn does not swallow
up in itself the stems which form its mass
Every plant yet retains its nobility II
corn is sown so thickly that it cannot find
room for development, the whole degener-
ates into mere grass and loses its proper
force and beauty. But the husbandman
has found out what rulers yet but slowly
learn, and reluctantly, that the force and
beauty of the whole is to be sought in the
development and strength of each single
plant Individuality and community are
not compatible, but each is the indispen-
sable factor of the other.
Or turn the subject in another light.
Each stalk of corn is father and mother.
1t does not live for itself. When it hastens
on in the hot days of July, it is not its
own beauty that it seeks. 1t takes that on
the way to a higher end. In the cool
juices of that polished stem glows the
sacred fire of parentage. The arched and
rustling leaves borrow of the sun and air
food for the coming brood. No sooner
does the tassel break forth at the top, than
peer out the infant ears nesting at the side
of the noble stem. Nor does the parent
blossom into its final beauty until the
exquisite silk hangs from the nascent ears
of corn to feed upon the parents life and
in it finds its own.
No sooner do the new born kernels
swell, than the parent bequeaths itself and
all its inward stores to its offspring. The
long leaves sing idly in the air. as things
that have nothing more % do. Every day
the winds evoke a shriller sound from
their motions. When the cob has covered
itself with golden kernels, rich and ripe,
the parent dies-dies, shall we think,
mourning sadly , What TO it is it, that it
shall live hundred fold IN its children?
All memory or consciousness will be gone.
1t has spent its life and beauty for others,
But how strong, how fresh, how full, how
beautiful its life while doing its appointed
work. How little does it really care to live
when the end of living was accomplished
1t did the work at hand, aud drew all its
beauty from that doing then took its
place in the great economy of nature, fall
ing back to nothing.
With such thoughts thousands of years
ago, men looked upon the fields, and sigh
ed, As fo7 man, his days are as grass
as flower Of the field so he fourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it IS
gone and the place thereof shall know
it no more" Psalm ciii. Is, 16.
1t was thousands of years afterwara
that one said. As we have borne the
image Of the earthly, we shall also bear
the image Of the heavenly. Death
IS swallowed up in victory"
The grass Of the field may image forth
the secular side of human life. but it can
70 no farther than the grave Beyond
hat it cannot point. Only one garden
here ever was that set forth the sure hope
IF immortality. In the place where he
vas crucifed, there was a garden.
There they laid Jesus. Henry Ward
BeecIer.

ten The war closed and Uncle Jake was
brought North His wife died at Boston,
and his children scattered. Two years ago
he came to Albany, and with a small boy,
went around gathering ashes from day to
day. Uncle Jake was a Christian if ever
there was one in this werld. Three times
day he was seen to kneel down in the
camp among the soldiers and pray fervent-
ly for the blessings of heaven on " Massa
Linkum and his boys" 4 little testament
worn and black with age, was his constant
companion. This he could read with
little difficulty. A rich foundryman OF
Troy said that the prayers of Uncle Jake
made more impression on his mind than all
the sermons together he ever heard. He
was an officer at that time at Newbern.
We cannot write an obituary of Uncle
fake, because we do not know his last
name or history We only know that he
was true friend of the Union, willing
at any time to lay down his life for the
cause, and that, through his exertions,
many poor soldiers were saved from death
and southern prisons. One man in this
city owes his life to him. and others, when
they see this brief mention, will remember
similar deeds His life was not in vain Al
though his acts as spy scout may pass
unnoticed in history, yet his humble efforts
helped to promote the revolution which
liberated and enfranchised his rade.

Corn

We nave artists who give themselves to
specialties. One delights to know fruits.
Another loves architecture, or landscape,
or figures, or animals, or grasses and flowers.
Now it has always seemed strange that the
noblest of all grasses-maize, or Indian
corn-has never found an enthusiastic
lover. 1t has been painted often, but
never yet interpreted. No one has done
by it what has been done by the lily, the
rose, the convolvulus.
And yet, where shall We find any union
of strength and grace more perfect among
herbaceous plants? The jointed stem,
robust and stiff, gives off at each articu
lation the most gracefully curved swords
leaves, which diminish in length as the
plant goes up to its fmbriated top, form
ing a symmetrical whole not to be equalled
among field plants.
If one will wander along the edges of
cornfeld, he will often see an exquisite
picture, such as nature loves to make.
The wild convolvulus, which often fills the
fence corners, has crept out of the grass
into the furrow and twined around the
corn, climbing to its very top, and having
power yet to grow, returns upon itself
and fashions festoons of exquisite leaves
and white blossoms, which hang down In
every negligent form of beauty. Other
vines, too, besides the convolvulus, try
their arts, and none fail but none succeed
so charmingly as this queen of twining
vines A specialist might devote himself
to corn without fear of exhausting the
subject. Of all the grains it is the true
type of republicanism. 1t knows how to
live in community without losing its
individuality. The smaller grains-wheat,
