THE GREAT MISSION OF WOMAN
Great indeed is the task assigned To wo-
man. Who can elevate its dignity. Not
To make laws, not to lead armies, not to
govern empires but to form those by
whom laws are made, armies led and
empires governed to guard against the
slightest bodily inllrmity, the frail, yet
spotless creature, whose moral no less
than physical being must be derived from
her to inspire those principles, to incul-
cate those doctrines, to animate those
sentiments which generations yet unborn,
and nations yet uncivlliZed, will learn To
bless to soften frmness into mercy, and
chasten honor into refinement; 10 exalt
generosity into virtue with q smooth
ing care 10 allly the anguish Of the
mind by her purity to triumph over sense;
to chcer the scholar sinking undcr his
toll to be compensation for friends that
are perildrus-lor vocation. The couch
OF the sufferer, the prison Of the deserted
+ lend, the cross OF the rejected Savior
these are theatres on which her create {
trumphs have been achieved. Such is
her destiny: to visit the torsaken, TO tend
to the neglected when monarchs aban-
don, when counselors entrap, when jus
tee pro-ecutes, when brethren and dis
cples fee 10 remain unshaken and un-
changed, and to exhibit to this lower
world II type Of that love, constant, pure
aud inefliable, which in another We are
taught to believe the test of virtue.

THE OLD MEN n GRANT MEETING.
BY JOHN II. YATES.

Well, wife, we've had meeting at the school
house on the hill,
And was chosen Chairman to keep tho old
men still,
But l found couldn't do it; each man down
hiseane would plant,
And shout with all the voice he had, I'm go
ing in for Grant -
We talked about the past four years, what
great things had been done;
How tho Nations debt had melted like the
snow before the sun:
We said to keep it melting, do u better thing
we can't,
Than to stick and hang together and all go in
for Grant
We all looked through our spectaeles upon the
naked facts,
Then drew the veil of charity DER giant Sum
ner's acts
We said, ave like you, Summer, but go your
way we can't"
Then made tho school house echo with rous-
ing cheer for Grant.
We didn't have much charity for Trumbull or
for Schurz;
They stand around the party gate, pair OF
snarling cars
Their speeches cannot harm us nor make Grant
to, the mark;
Hos an old Galena tanner and knows how to
handle bark.
We talked abolt Grants smoking-wo thought
ii no great sin;
To vote that oLt Oh olhco We mix xht vote worse
ons in;
And seeing We were smokers, woAldn't do for
us to rant,
So We lit oar li9es together, and all smoked
the health OF Giant.
In tho days of the rebellion mono of US could
go 70 night,
But We read from morn till evening how he
battled ,or ths right;
He has boon tho na,ions servant in tho days
OF peace and war,
And treason nslts belore him like the smoke
OF his cigar.
After I'd adjourned the meeting, gave each
aliendly giip;
We every one determined to stand by the war
tried ship;
We will not topplc over, we will not lean
aslant,
But put oar canes down firm and strong and
stand straight up for Grant

The Oakland NelOS tells this story, as
illustrating the cheerful alacrity with
which the Democracy take to Greeley /:
" A party of miners inhabiting cabin
agreed that the worst grumbler in the
crowd should do the cooking. A cross

time, but growing tired Of his office, he
laid out TO disturb the general satisfaction
which seemed to prevail among the 9TH
ers, and by provoking some complaint
secure a successor. SO he mixed up n
batch of dough, half -four and half salt,
baked it and set it on the table. One
rusty old fellow seized biscuit, bit out a

making a hdeous grimace, observed A;

a Forecast of How he viii Admin

The following prognostication of Gree
dent was published in an Eastern journal
about n year ago, as kind Of n take-oil
Of the English Battle of Dorking" 1t
was written at time when there was no
likelihood that Horace Greeley would be
nominated for the Presidency, and was
Of course intended as pure fun.
THE FALL OF AMERICA.
You ask me to tell you, my children,
Of the events which immediately pre-
ceded the destruction OF the once great
American Union and the capture OF the
country by its present European rulers,
and to say something, also, of the cause
which led to these drplorable results.
undertake the task with heavy he e,rt,
for when | revert to that terrible time
cannot help contrasting our proud condi
tiOn up to that fatal year with the huml.
iating position now occupied by the
American people. The story is short
one. In the year 1872 Horace Greeley,
the editor Of IA paper in New York, wa-
elected President Of the United States
The people voted for him because they
thought he was an honest man. And SO
he was. But he was also vain and weak
and he entertained certain fanatlcu aud
preposterous bottoms which he was de
termined to force upon the people at all
hazards, and spite all opposition. lie
believed, among other thing>, that every
man ought to go to the West to earn his
bread, and long before he was chosen
President he used to advise everybody
to move TO that region, as cure for all
disasters that could possibly beial the
human family.
As soon as he reached the Executive
Mansion which we used to call the White
House, President Greeley organized an AR
my of two hundred thousand men, and
proceeded to force the people Of the sea-
board States westward at the point Of the
bayonet. The utmost violence was used
Il
their dead bodies carted off to national
factory which the President had estab-
lished for making some kind of iantas-
tical fertilizer. All the large cities of the
East were depopulated, end the towns
were entirely empty. The army swept
before it millions OF men, women aud
children, until the vast plains west OF
Kansas we're reached, when the pursuit
ceased, and the army was drawn up in u
continuous line, with orders to shoot any
person who attempted to visit the East.
OF course hund eds of thou ands OF these
poor creatures perished from starvation.
This seemed to 'righten President Cree
ley, and he sent II message 10 Congress
recommending that seven hundred thous-
and copies OF "A book Of his, entitled
What / Know about Farming, should
be devoted for the relief OF the starving
sufferers. This was done, and farming
implements and seed were supplied and
then the millions of wretched outeasts
made an effort to ill the ground. OF the
result of this will speak further on.
In the mean time the President was
doing infinite harm 10 the country in an
other way. His handwriting was SO fear
fully and wonderfully bad that no living
