Funeral of Horace Greeley.

'
I gathered around the bier of the man who is now
\ no more Here We see that criticism is li-arm-
| ed. little time ago aud mems political passions
! were aroused. We differ rs much in politics as
| ever, bur here lies before us this man who but
brief time ago was a great leader in the land.
| why 10 men OF all parties gather her" m
/ reverence round his remains? 1t is because th''
! man Is greater than his politics? Here to-day
! between the two oceans there is scarcely a man
or rhIid who has not felt the beuCiccnt influence
| OF the character of Horace Greeley. Horace
| Greeley gave the strength OF his life TO cdur7-
| ton, 10 humanity, and especially 10 the poor
/ who could little help themselves. He had
great heart that longed for sympathy. ThoH4h
! ne may not he remembered by those memorials
! winch carry other mems names down to pos
4 terlty, ne will he remembered throughout the
! land for those great qualities of mind and heart
! winch make his character commensurate, - 1t
| We're, With the genius of this great republic.
His influence has gone ont to teach nober
! manhood 10 the mechanic, the lubOrcr and the
| farmer. What more can we say in euiogy OF.
the character OF this ustrlous dead: Alas,
| alas, he through i long and not untempe>tuou~
voyage has reached the shore. How blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord. Nav Gud
grant thai IN the solemnity of these thoughts in
| which we have gathered here, it may be our
| happy lot HAT when we die angels Shall "P-n
the gates and receive MS into the glory Of The
| Lord
