Greeley Still at the Head.

Every since we can remem-
Der, Horace Greeley, of New
York, has headed the opposl'
ton to the Democratic party,
and now a National Conven'
tion has placed him at the
head of the ticket for the
highest Office within the gift of
the people. Having construct
ed the Republican party, he is
the proper man to select to so
forward to reconstruct and
purify it. The thousands OF
honest Republicans who assem-
bled at Cincinnati well knew
that Greeley was the only
man in their ranks capable of
taking the held tor the pur-
pose of putting an end to the
corrupt and wicked Grant
faction. Greeley is a mighty
man, Notwithstanding the fact
that he has but few relatives.
Greeley will not receive the
support of the Democratic
party; he does not expect 1T;
the Democratic party is not in
the slightest manner committed
to the action of the convention
that nominated the founder OF
the Republican party. AS the
National Democratic Com
mittee meets in New York
City today, we expect to an
nounce in our next paper the
time for holding the National
Democratic Convention.

A Columbus correspondent
says the latest sensation there
is the discovery that the fam.
GUS Adair Liquor Law is i'm
perfect, mas much as the enac-
ting clause of the law reads,
"Be it enacted by the State of
Ohio" ,instead Of, as the Con
stitution prescribes, "Be it en-
acted by the General Assembly
of the State Of Ohio" The
question as to whether gthis
error makes the law invalid or
not, will be tested in a few
days, in theJ trial Of several
cases broughtsunder it.

observe that there is anomission
Of the Goth Ward Of Cincinnati,
which may iuvalidate the act.
So anxious were the Grant
Radicals to rob the Democrats
of their just representation, that
one Ward of Cincinnati was
left out of the bill.
1t will be seen that the Rad
ical party have a Congressman
for each 10000 votes it cast
last fall, while the Democrats
have a Congressman for each
$4,000 of their votes.

Is it not a consoIing thing to
know that under the present,
State Administration, there is
a deficit of over 100000 in
the Ohio Treasury, and that
the Legislative Committees, in
order to meet it, propose to in
crease the taxes for the coming
yearY The men in power
would not dare to do this if
the taxes were to be paid be-
fore the fall election. They
expect swindled people will
awake too late to the injury
that has been inflicted upon
them. We have always
thought it would be good
idea to have taxes paid just be-
fore the people vote.

Our Daily Bread.

The Bible is letter Of love from our
Father in heaven, and he expects us to read
it lovingly and study it constantly, that we
may know what he wishes us to do while we
are away from home, and that we may be
ready to start for home whenever he may
see ft to call US there. You see how dearly
David loved and diligently studied the Bible,
though his Bible was very small one COM
pared with ours. He regarded it more than
his necessary food.
Now, boys and girls, when in health, have
generally a good appetite; they can eat a
good round of bread and butter as soon as
they get out of bed, and then get on very
well at breakfast, hardly wait with patience
for dinner time, and are always ready for
tea; and so we see that whatever they may
be needless about they are always deeply
concerned about their "daily bread" Now
the Bible is the souls food, and you must, by
reading it and thinking about it, and pray
ing over it, get your daily supply. You
must treat it-not as you do cake, which is
only brought out of the cupboard on high
days and holidays, and then served out in
small quantities-yOu must rather take it as
the big loaf for every day. Thus David did,
and so he tells us Gods word was "sweet to
his mouth, and pleasant to his taste.

ance and manners. Yet this was the man
whom John Randolph of Roanoke called
shakespeare and Garrick combined " Some
have remarked that his first great effort, like
that of Cicero and Demosthenes, was made
at the age of %.
10. In 1854, he was employed by Ma
thaniel West cambridge, who claimed the
seat in The House of Burgesses from Han,
over, alleging that James Lttlepage had
procured the return by bribery and corrup-
ton. When Henry first arrived in Viii
liamsburg, where all the fashion and ele-
gance of the province were then centred,
his hOmely garb and awkward manner ex
cited ridicule But, when he came before
"The committee of Privileges and Elec
tions" presided over by Col. Bland, the same
magic change took place in his appearance
which always astonished the hearers of his
eloquence. The learned Judge Lyons who &C
cused him of treason in his maiden speech,
was forced to confess, that, although he could
usually write in court, undsturbed by the
proceedings, he was obliged to stop and lis
ten, whenever Henry spoke on any subject,
however trivial. He enlivened the dry sub
iect of this contested election by an origi-
nal and brilliant discussion of suffrage and
election. The next year, 1865, Henry APP
peared himself, as member of Tire House
of Burgesses, and acted still more con-
spicuous part.

Let He Pray First.

A little girl was passing quietly through
the streets, short time since, when she
came to the spot where several idle boys were
amusing themselves by the very dangerous
practice of throwing stones. Not observing
her, one of the boys, by accident threw a
stone, which struck her in the eye.
She was carried home in great agony
The surgeon was sent for, and a very pain
full operation was declared necessary. When
the time came, and the surgeon had taken
out his instruments, she lay in her fathers
arms and he asked her if she was ready.
"NO, father, not yet, she replied.
"What do you wish to wait for, my ehild?'
Z" / want to kneel and pray to Jesus first, "
she answered. She prayed few minutes,
and afterwards submitted to the operation,
with the patience of a woman.

and character to the tale she had chosen; but
the book had been laid before her and she
had refused the good and chosen the evil,
because cit was there
"For it must needs be that offences come,
but woe unto that man by whom the offence
cometh."
When the end comes, and when you who
have used your talents, your education, your
time, your business capital in helping to
throw dirt, must give an account of your
stewardship, do you think that it will be an
excuse for those offences which have come
through your abuse of Gods gifts to answer
