HORACE GREELEY CONES OUT.
BY D. JONES sTALTER.

Ny friends, I'm out for President,
Isuppose you ali know that;
I've cast aside that old gray coat,
Likewise, that seedy hat;
And soon expect to put my seat
On the chair where Lincoln sat.
I'm old, my friends, and understand
Just how the thing should 90;
I'll put the tariff Cp or down,
And tell you what know
About the farm-plant pumpkin seeds
Where other JruH will grow.
Free Trade shall be my earnest plea
Among the Western men
Nine chickens are too many, friends,
To follow one old hen,
Unless you feed her well on slOp
And keep her in a pen.
Be Liberal, =" friends, let Davis go;
He fought US long and well;
bailed him out because 1 thought
The Southern war a "sell;"
now expect my Southern friends
To make their ballots tell.
Plant apples in the early Spring;
Sow grass seed in the hill;
Knock of your corn in pleasant June,
And take 1t TO the mill;
But never shake the barley trees
For fear the ears won't NIL.
My cry was "On to Richmond boys,
And give those rebels hell"
Don't cut your hay till it is dry,
Then bury it deep and well;
But vote for Horace Greeley boys
He raised the Union swell.
I'm on four sides OF ev'ry thing,
And in the corners too;
I'm Tariff for the Eastern men,
Protection firm and true;
But Free Trade for the Western sons,
Who think that such won't do.
Now, hurrah for Horace Greeley,
Ye Southern sons of toll
Potato trees grow long and thick
Upon a sandy soil;
Shake of the fruit and crate Il well,
And then put on 10 boil,

THE RUTs OF LIFE.-Get out Oi
them il you wish to live long. Men
and women must have recreation,
must have amusement, must have di-
version. 1t is wholesome for the
mind to break away from its daily
vocation OF employment every night.
The man who goes from his counting
house or workshop at the close Of the
day, and does not leave it behind him,
but sits at the family table in moOdi-
ness broOding over past occurrences,
weighing probabilities, laying plans
and when the meal is over, thinking
thinking, thinking by the hour, and
goes to bed TO toss and tumble about
cannot live long; the brain or hear
must fail.

COMMENTS BY TIE PRESIDENT.


duty Of ten cents on GuanO,"l
COMMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.
I return this obnoxious measure
without my approval. The man who
introduced it is an ass; the men who
voted for it are scheming British
agents; and the men who say this Is not
the case are liars and hOrse-thieves.
I Judge that, on an average, every
man, woman and child in America
uses y ton of guanO year in some
shape or other; whether as a farmer
in New York, Louisiana, Colorado,
POdunk, etc, in agricultural, or as
Chas. A. Dana, for editorial articles.
We thus consume, in round figures,
40, 900, 900 tons OF guanO annually.
The arbitrary aud revolutionary act
which veto to-day would thus i'm
pose a tax OF four millions Of dollars u
year on our people. With what ef-
feet? It would not stimulate the pro-
ductiOn of American guanO. Ameri-
can birds could not compete with the
pauper labor Of birds in debauehed
and priest-ridden Central America.
am not quite sure as to what is
which, but the man who speaks to
the contrary is a hell-hOund and
bribed by British gold. H.G.

NOSES AND SNoRING-Those who are
cursed with an Informed nose can now have
it quickly shaped to perfection for the RI
diculOus small sum of ten shngs and six
pence. A contrivance has, it seems, been
patented by an enterprising London trades
man which, " if applied to the nose for an
hour daily" so directs the soft cartilage Of
which the member consists" that the ugliest
proboscis in creation becomes sin few days"
nose worthy to figure upon chef d'purre
of Phjdias n Poiycletus. Whether, while it
is being worn, this new and wonderful instru-
ment is ornamental to the patient and sooh-
ing to the soft carilages we are not informed,
nor are we told whether, by persistent use
of it, a noseless man can afford to dispense
with the Talicotan operation. We must
not, however, be too skeptical. We all know
that in the Western States of America an IN
strument called ''nose-warmer" is in large
request. 1t is sort of eXtnguisher or nose
mug, lined with fur, which, when once it is
hoisted, is, if not exactly decorus, YET at any
rate warm and comfortable. Nor is the
"nose- warmer" the only patent Of modern
nasologists. Snoring is, of all bad habits,
the most ntolerable; and it is comforting to
know that device has been found out TO
mitigate its horrors. A long and flexible
tube leads from the nose of the patient to
his ear, and thus the unducet sound which
he creates awaken their author. He, in effect,
consumes bis own snoring, much as a well
const lcted factory engine consumes its own
smoke, and, being thus convinced of the
enormity of his own sins, learns TO repent
him, and to keep his own nose under better
control. 1t is evident, then, that Slawken-
bcrgius left much to be desired. That
book should have been written upon noses,
in an age which knew nothing of nose-warm-
ers, nose-corectors, or snore consumers, is
Tut another proof how great was the pre-
sumption Of our ancestors. Meantime the
new nose corrector can be purchased for tie
ridiculously small sum of ten shillmgs and
sivpence, ''post frce." And yet We daily
see human beings in our streets with noses
that are a disgrace to humanity. London

POMPOSITY.

Hold not thy head too high, my friend,
For surely thou must know
The heaviest heads of wheat will bend
The stalk on which they grow.
And everywhere the loveliest flowers
Bloom nearest to the ground;
The sweetest songsters Of the wood
In lowly shades abound.
Hold not thy head too high, my friend,
Though rich in land or gold
The throngs that on thy steps attend
Speak not the thoughts they hold:
Their true respects is only paid
Where worthiness they see - a
Whose deferential bows are made
To thy wealth, net to thee.
Hold not thy head too high, my friend. !
Whate'e thy station here;
For brain will triumph in the end
What then will be their sphere?
Who envy not thy lordly tread,
Nor at thy lot repine-
Who could not hold erect head
That weighs so light as thine?

AT Newbery, England, gentleman re-
Gently made wager of $500 that at eight
o'clock on particular evening he would sit
down to dinner in well woven, well dyed,
well made suit of clothes, the wool of which
formed the fleece on Sleeps backs at five
o'clock the same morning. The sheep were
shorn, the wool was washed, carded, stub
bed, roved, spun and woven; the cloth was
scored, fulled, raised, sheared, dyed and
dressed; the garments were made. At
quarter past six he sat down 10 dinner at the

abutment, the waters continued to rise higher
and higher, while in the deep darkness they
could hear the crashing Of trees amid the
thunders Of bridge timbers that were wildly
dashipg all around them. They had been
in this desperate condition for some time,
when the little girl felt that her strength was
gone, and with wild shrek of terror, she
exclaimed, Kiss me, mother, for l can't
hold on any longer!" And with the warm
pressure Of that mothers lips upon her
check, she was swept away and was seen no
more.

BREATHlNGS OF SPRING.

What wax st thou Spring? Sweet voices in the
wood
And reed-like echoes that have long been mute;
Thou bringest back, to fill the solitudes.
The lark S clear pipe, the cuckoo's viewless flute,
Whose tone seems breathing mournfulness of
glee,
Even as our hearts may be.
