Mrs. Horace Greeley.

Mrs. GREELEY has been steadily sink
ing since her removal from her rural
home at Chappaqua to this city, few
weeks since. Her symptoms had become
so alarming for the last four or five days
that her friends were prepared for her
demise at almost any hour. Her stricken
husband and assiduous eldest daughter
have been constantly at her side, and at
about four o'clock yesterday morning she
quietly breathed her last. There was
never a more peaceful, painless death than
this which has terminated the fifteen or
eighteen years suffering of this much,en-
during invalid. At the hour of dissolu.
tion, she lay in light, gentle slumber;
and so noiseless was the tread of the sum-
mOnipg angel that the two lady friends
who were watching with her. and whose
eyes rested on her at the time, did not
perceive the change. The poor sufferer
passed, without pang or struggle, from
the sweet repose of sleep to the eEerlast-
Ing repose of death. The wasted fo~m
lies with. gentle smile on its features,

which she was allowed to pass through
the dark portal, as If apitying Prov idence
had relented at the supreme hour, and per.
mitted her spirit to pass gently to its final
rest, after so many years of weakness and
pain.
Mrs. Greeley was remarkable woman.
Her character was as original and as
strongly marked as that of her husband,
but OF widely different type. She was
of fine delicate, sensitive, nervous Or

had great personal beauty. The
viyacity which her features were
formed to express remained to the
last, and continued to be manifest
through dark eyes of singular life and
brilliancy, which, in the animated con-
versations with friends, whieA-seemea to-
form her chief pleasure, were alternately
lighted up with deep eagDestness and play

intense nature, of acute perceptions, and
the strength of conviction on a wide
range of moral and social subjects CHAR
aoteristic of minds of perfect indepen-
dence, which, instead OF servilely accept
ing current conventionalities, question
them and judge them. She was one of
those rare women who do not look at
things through other peoples eyes, but
through their own, and by whom formu
las, religious or social, are not accepted
as substitute for living faith and per-
sonal conviction. Her intellect was re-
markably quick, fertile, clear, and inge.

which she has been for nearly twenty
years the victim, had not dampened ef-

Influence of Tea.

The London Lancet, the leading medi.
cal paper published in that city, lately
had the following on the influence of tea
as beveragei THAT tea has an influence
over the tissues of the body, is now among
the things admitted in physiology. This
influence is of a conservative nature, and
its value to the poor can scarcely be over
rated. To them tea is virtually tissue,
and makes supply of food that would
otherwise be inadequate to maintain the
weight of the body sufficient for that pur-
pose. Doubtless an unlimited supply of
food capable of replacing any amount Of
eftete tissue would be preferable to a sub
stance which simply goes to prevent tis-
sue from becoming effete; but this is i'm
practicable-the unlimited supply of nj.
trogenous food being thing that, as yet,
neither Providence nor politicians have
given us. This preservative power of tea
over the tissues has not hitherto been ex.
planned. Perhaps it may not be altogether
unconnected with another influence of
tea, which we proceed to notice, namely,
an influence over the temper, or rather
the mood, or, speaking physically, after
our fashion, over the nerves. Nothing
affects the wear of tissue more than mood;
and tea has strange influence over mood
"a strange power of changing the look
Of things, and changing it for the better;
so that we can believe, and hope, and do,
under the influence of tea, what we should
otherwise give up in Encouragement or
desDair-feelings under the influence of
which tissues wear rapidly. In the Ian
guage Of the poor, who in London, we
are told, spend an eighth of their income
in buying tea, it produces a feeling of
comfort. Neither the philosopher nor the
phianthropist will despise this property
of tea, this power of c)nferripg comfort
or removing ennui, of prom oting those
happier feelings of our nature under
which we can do most and bear most"

TIE SKEPTtcAL CONVINCED. .-Eyery
advsnbe In medicine, every new remedy;
has encountered an opposition, which is
the test Of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulity can
stand the silent argument Of good results.
When DR.. Walker proclaimed thathe had
produced from the medicinal herbs of
California an Elixirthat would regenerate
the sinking system and cure diseases not
organic, the incredulous shook their
heads. Yet his VINEGAR BITTRRs Is now
the Standard Restorative of the Western
World. The truth could not be resisted.
Under the operation of the new remedy,
Dyspeptics regained their health, appetite

Mrs. Greeley was devoted mother,
and perhaps regretted her infirm health
more because IL interfered with the duties
she owed TO her daughters than on any
other ground. In the early years of her
marriage, while her husband was yet
combating debt and poverty, she was
absorbed In domestic cares; and after he
had emerged into easy circumstances, she
was too much an invalid to assume that
position in a wider and more varied life
to which she seemed called by her mental
endowments and powers of conversation.

A Dangerous Notebook Out For 1t.

The city Just now is flooded with an
imitation of the fifty.cent fractional cur
'rency that is well calculated to deceive, if
not closely examined. The most singular
feature is that it is not a counterfeit, and
If the law only punished actual counter
feiters the maker of this imitation would
enjoy immunity. In size, paper, Wig
nettes, seals, it very closely resembles the
genuine, the points OF difference being in
the inferiority of workmanship and want
of fiber in the paper. The latter defect
is supplied to some extent by crumpling
the notes, the creases passing for fibers.
The difference which distinguishes it from
a counterfeit lies in the reading matter
On the diverse side it reads, 1.-The people
of the United States,' Fifty cents" "For

ever it is due in the United States" The

States less than five dollars, not excepting

only words wanting in the genuine. 1t
will be seen that the note does not profess
to promise anything. In the night or by

Gather up the Leaves.

MANY are apt to consider the dying
leaves of the autumn as possessed Of
little substance. This is erroneous; they
contain not only vegetable matter, but
potash, lime and earthly salts, which are
all required for the growth of the crops
OF the next summer. Nature enriches
her soil, year after year, in the great un-
broken forests, by the decomposition of
these leaves, and it seems hardly possible
that any rejecting farmer or horticulturist
can allow them to be swept away by
every wind that blows, and finally lost
altogether.
If in orchards the leaves of each tree
should be collected, and be placed under
the soil about the roots, they would pro.
vide in the cheapest manner, the best
possible food for each tree. Pear, apple,
peach and cherry trees would be greatly
benefited by this simple process. 1t is
said that certain vineyards Of France and
Italy are kept in the highest condition by
simply buryng at their roots every leaf
and branch that falls or is pruned from
the vines at the close of the season. 1t
IS well known fact, that no manure is
more eagerly sought after by florists than
leaf mold: it enters largely into the pre-
paration OF compost for potting house
plants. They are most excellent absorb
ents for horse stalls, and If they are gather
ed perfectly dry, and kept so until used,
they impart to manure dark brittle
character, which improves 1t for any use,
and makes 1t unsurpassed for top dress.
ing for garden purposes. A litter of leaves
is also more manageable than the usual
one of straw, as it can be renewed with
out the necessity OF cleaning out the
stall more than two or three times a
week, as the leaves absorb the ammonia
rapidly, and can be more readily incor.
porated with the manure, by being trod.
den and worked over in the stall, than if
removed daily. They are especially rec,
commended for hot beds, mixing the dried
leaves with the horse manure; and there
is no better ingredient for increasing the
strength of worn.out gardens.
1t surely pays TO gather the leaves and
unload them in the muddy barn yard or
pig sty, for the purpose of absorbing the
liquid manure. II is mere play for small
boys to rake up the piles of dried leaves,
collect them in baskets, and pile them up
in the stable or barn yard, if they can be
taught not to scatter more than thew
gather; and neighboTs' children can
make mutual affair OF the matter, and
collect all the leaves which fall into the
highways Cor. Country Gentleman

A MiiliOnairs's Daughter In Love with
an Indian,

AMONG the red men now visiting the
Capital to smoke the pipe Of peace, is a
youthful Camanche brave, who has at.
tracted no little attention from the ladies
Of Washington. The other day, during
the visit of several families to the hotel
where he Is stopping, he saw pretty
young lady OF about his own age, the
daughter of one Of the wealthiest men of
the city, and fell so violently in love with
her at first sight that when the party left
the house he followed her to her resi-.
dence. For two or three days subse-
quently he was observed hanging about
the vicinity, occasionally catching a
glimpse Of her; and, strange to say, the
young lady has conceived an equally VIC.
lent passion for him. On Saturday last
she went out riding with him in the ele-
CANT barouche belonging to the paternal
mansion, and when those having charge
OF her strictly forbade any further exhi-
bitions of such bad taste on her part, she
frankly declared her intention of wed.

the young Indian has been supplied with

should go with him. OF course such

some action on the part of the authorities.
