VISITING THE SICK.

What do we visit the sick for? There is
only one sensible answer to this question,
and that is this: We visit them to do
them good physically or spiritually or
both. Now we either do this or we do
them hurt. Sick people are generally
very sensitive 1t takes very little to
cast them down, and very little to buoy
them up. A word, or look, or tone of
voice will do it. To enter the room of
the sick with countenance which seems
to say, clark from the tombs dole
full sound with sepulchral voice and
fearful mien, is enough to make well
r<-4a,, feel bud, anu many u ~.>t~---
ing room in this way has discouraged
the nervous sufferer and sent him to the
grave, when by buoyant surroundings he
might have been saved to see many
years of happy life. This mournfuI,
woe-begone appearance that so many al
low to come over them when visiting the
afflicted is not only an injury physi-
cally but no good spiritually: for verify
one cheerful, kind, heartfelt invitation
to the pain-weary, to lean upon God and
rest, will be more help to them than the
most doleful admonition that could be
given. Some people are afraid to have
their friends and relatives conversed
with upon the subject of religion, and
some physicians forbid religious talk to
their patients, and their reason is this !:
that they fear it will cast gloom or
trouble upon the mind, and hence short
en- life. Suppose there is sense in this,
if religion be thing that shortens life,
but it is not, and | believe that any one
who can bear word of cheer, can bear
word of invitation to Christ and YET
this idea that some people have of piety
being mind disturber, a melancholy
producer, has been given by those belong
ing to the christian church who 90 like
''Druids of eld'' with Bonded form, grave
expression, and seek to hold converse
with the afflicted. There are times il
life when we feel sad, and at such time!
we make even the cheeriest, blue abou
us. But when we visit those who heet
sunshine most, let us carry with us
soul brlm full of joy, and, perchance, il
so doing, we may be instrumental il
lifting load of doubt from an immorta
: spirit. which will give forever, ecstac,
to angelic song and make an eterna
destiny fragrant with peace. Oh ava,
with the idea that this world is a val
of tears when it is a valley of rose
sparkling with dew drops; this sadnes
and doubt when we have all eternity t
be happy in; this complaining of thorn
in the way, when Christ used them al
IN the Crown he wore on Calvary; thi
mourning about the changableness Q
our home on earth, when we may hav
one immortal hereafter. J. w. NJ

If indeed there were such a countless
number-were made before ever Gen.
Grant became President He refer
red to speech, purported to have been
made by Senator Wilson, in Boston,
in 1S56-during the Know Nothing ex-
citement-in which he represented him
as insulting our foreign born citizens in
the most outrageous manner, but he did
not have at his fnger-ends the following
extract from a speech delivered by Mr..
Wilson, in Brattleboro, May %, 1854,
when the Know Nothing party was in
its prime. Mr.. Wilson said:
Il have no sympathy with that mar
row, bigoted, intolerant spirit that would
make war upon race of men because
they happened to be born in other lands,
a dastardly spirit that would repel from
our shores the men who sought homes
here under our free institutions. Such
spirit is anti-American, devilish-I
loathe it from the bottom of my heart. !"
Some one remarked that if Fitzpatrick
could lecture in every school district,
this county could be carried for Greeley.
Then he would have to adopt differ
ent tactics from what was resorted to
last Tuesday. for, so far as we have
heard the expressions of Republicans
who were there, the opinion is general
that the Republican cause sustained not
a particle of injury and that not con-
vert was made to Democracy. But in
expressing themselves thusly, no one,
we presume, means to insinuate that the
General is not ga smart little fellow"
While every one admits that he IS a
"gay and festive chap" they admit
also at the same time that it is an ugly
and embarrassing job, at the present
time, for Democratic orators to catch
Republicans here in Vermont, by 'put-
ting salt on their coat tails.
During the speech, couple of dogs
near the platform got into a little diff
Guilty, and undertook to Eight it out,
then and there, when, to use Liberal s
remark, "a little, NASTY. GRANT man
put in the insulting remark, Zone dos
at time p Whether the word Grant
need be emphasized so much more EN-
phatically than the man, or not, the re
mark was low, mean and ungentlemanly
If there is Grant man who cannot g
to Democratic meeting and listen t
remarks that do not exactly suit hi
taste, without making disturbance
he had better stay at home, where h
can enjoy, without molesting others, hi
own good opinion of himself, and hi
view of politics and things" Civ

VISITS HIS BIRTHPLACE.

So said the Democratic papers when
Horace Greeley started on his late PEREZ
CARNATIONS "He goes to visit his birth
place and relatives, and to find rest"
But he didn't do any such thing. He
sailed out for different purpose. New
Hampshire is close state, in politi-
cal point of view. Mr.. Greeley came
to get up popular enthusiasm in his
own behalf, and to carry the state over
into the camp of the enemy.
He did not visit his birthplace. That
was Amherst very respectable place,
but strong Republican town. There
are no leading copperheads there; no po-
litical managers ON the Democratic side.
So Greeley hept out of Amherst. He
came to visit his birthplace, but care
fully Stunned it. He came IN search
of rest, but rushed headlong into the
noisy crowd. sTear down that haunt-
ing lie p Horace, your visit was polit-
ical one.
Let us have no more DISCUSSES. Leave
that to the Ku-Klux Klans who murder
men for voting the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Greeley is trying his hand at the
game which Scott played in 1852, and
Johnson played when he "swung around
the circle and he will have the same
success. asa
No, Mr. Greeley didn't visit his birth
place he didn't counsel with the men
of Amherst. He hunted such beautiful
Liberal Republicans as Israel Hunt, of
| Nashua ! VIM. Butterfeld of Concord
and John G.. Sinclair of Littleton! The
result of his visit is just what every
sane man must have known it would be.
He is damaged by it. The impression
made upon our people is certainly un-
favorable to this travelling candidate.
Republicans look on with wondering
eyes to see that chief of New Hamp
shire copperheads, John G. Sinclair
champion Horace Greeley, and introduce
, him, with laudatory remarks, to thu
, crowd. Democrats find it hard to for
get that Greeley has spent lifetime
: in denouncing them as the off securing
of the world. "Point wherever 20,
: please" he says, ''to an election dis
! trict which is morally rotten,-givel
up to debauchery and vice, and Their
you will find the Democratic part
strong.'
Greeley will not carry New Haml
8 shire. He will get but a very small
J., number of votes from men who hav
o heretofore voted the Republican ticke
r He will not carry the whole Democrat
o vote. We know of Democrats who wi
y not vote at all, and of others who wi
o vote with us. They can now quit tn
y Democratic party without dishonor, an
# without censure. Our loss on the OF

Fitzpatrick On Hand, but Honest HOr-
ace Non Est.

Those who went to Newport last Tues
day to see Horace Greeley, and hear
him speak, were sorely disappointed.
GOOD old Honest Farmer Horace" in
stead of being there, as was advertised,
was at home far away, in Chappaqua,
with his big bush scythe, moving this
ties and cutting elders. General Kill
patrick was on hand, however, and af.
ter the raising of tiny Greeley & Brown
flag, gave them the benefit of lively
little speech of seventy minutes. There
was not very great crowd out, nor was
it over enthusiastic. Probably 25O or
800 persons were present, nearly half,
it was judged, of which were Grant men,
who had desire to see Horace Greeley
and hear Little KILL as well as the
Democrats. The General commenced
his speech by eulogizing Grants military
career, and wound off by severely criti-
cising the last half of his Presidential
term. The first year, he said Grant
done very we'll, and things seemed to 90
along smoothly; but the second year he
had called around him gang of thieves
who had stolen enormous sums of money
Accused him of using the revenue Of
the country for the purpose of securing
his denomination and reelection, but
forgot to say that three hundred million
dollars of the National debt had beer
paid off in the last three years. Re
ferred to the old charge of gift taking,
but did not say that all these present;

A bet of ST 600 wac arranged IN this
city to-day, between citizen of neigh
boring town and a gentleman from Bos-
ton, on the Presidential election. The
terms of the bet are these: The New
Hampshire man bets $1,000 that Hor-
ace Greeley will be elected the next
President of the United States, if he
lives. The Boston man covers the mon
ey with $1,000, and should either Grant
or Greeley die before the election, then
each man withdraws his money. The
money was deposited with one of our
bankers to-day. We are authorized to
say that another $1,000 is deposited in
Minot's Bank, ready for like bet

A private letter from N. Baker, for
merly resident of Caledonia Co., now
in Yolo Co., Cal, to his brother-in-law
Hon. L. B. Sherwin, of this town, states
his county is largely populated by men
from the rebel states, who formerly own
ed slaves. They are unanimous and
enthusiastic in their support of Greeley,
and give as a reason that they expect to
get pay for their slaves. 1t cannot
be longer denied that that is the argu
ment used by the Greeley orators in the
South.

Out and help Bang the Old Gun.

Our State election occurs September
3d-one week from tomorrow. AS the
next issue of our paper will be printed
but one day before that election and this
is the last opportunity we shall have, we
wish to urge upon our Republican read
ers, the Importance of being on hand at
the polls on that day with vote
a Good Republican Uote-at the end of
each strong right arm. Here in Vermont,
where everything is all one way, we are
little too apt to say to ourselves, ooh,
we'll, Wis all right; there'll be enough
there without me; my vote won't make
any odds with the result; so guess I'll
stay at home and attend to my business
and save a day and a dollar" True
enough, Vermont is all right; she has
always been true blue and we believe
she always will be; but the aim of the
Republican party of Vermont at this
next election is not, just barely
to carry the day, but to give the Ticket
such an overwhelming majority as will
make Ulysses, and Henry, and every
Republican in the land schuckle' with
delight and clap their hands for joy.
Every Republican that drops vote in
the ballot-box on that day, does his du-
ty and makes the majority one greater,
and every one who stays away, throws
a drop of cold water to help quench the
enthusiasm that is everywhere springing
up for the saviors of our oo~Atry,
Grant & Wilson and the boys in blue.

POLITICAL.

GLORIOUS News From THE SCUTH.-
A GREAT REACTION. When Horace
Greeley was first nominated, it was as
sumed with a great deal of assurance
that the South would be almost unit
for him on the electo raj vote. But the
latest news from the South puts an en-
tirely new phase on the question.
First, the election in North Carolina
shows that the Negro vote of the South
will be cast solid for Grant.
Secondly, the election in Louisville
shows disposition on the part of the
sterling Democrats of the South to unite
with the Republicans in defeating the
Greeley combination.
Further south we see the same indi-
cations. At Atlanta, Georgia, on the
receipt of the North Carolina victory,
there was grand Republican rejoicing.
But the most significant thing was a
meeting at the same time of the Anti
Greeley Democrats. A correspondent
describes it as follows:
There was also an enthusiastic meet
ing of the Anti Greeley Democrats held
at the same time, at James Hall, under
the supervision of the Young Mems
| Democratic Club. There was about
1000 in attendance. Resolutions were
unanimously adopted pledging the party
to eternal opposition to the Greeley tick
ct. Among the speakers present were
Hon. James L. Seward, formerly Mem
Der of Congress from the Third District,
and conspicuous Democratic leader in
this State: Mr.. Atkins representative
of the Democracy of the old school, and
Col. w. Fl. Weems, one of the most
gifted and popular of the late Confcder.
ate leaders in Georgia. 1t is by nc
means improbable that coalition will
be formed between the Republicans and
Anti-Democrats, whereby an Anti-Gree
ley Democratic Governor will be elected
and the electoral vote OF the State cas-
for Grant and Wilson. The breach il
the Democratic Party over the Baltimor
and Cincinnati tickets is now considered
irreparable, and in any event Creole.

the State by at least $4,000.
