Horace GreeIey


In speaking of Horace Greeley, the Lynch
burg Nrginian says
he has been the stern opponent of thieves
and swlndlers all his days. When in Congress-
nearly quarter OF century since, he arraved
hlmseIf against the mileage swindle, voted a.
gainst the distribution of books, knives and
other perquisltes which members of Congress
appropriate, and denounced the abuse of the
ranking privilege. He has always favored
economy and honesty 10 the administration az
the Government He is one of the boldest and
most earnest advocates of reform in tho Gov
ernment, and has struck more manly blows IN
that behalf than any man living He separat-
ed from the dominant wing of his party on this
issue, and incurred the wrath of the man at the
White House and the displeasure of all of his
satellites. lie is the sworn foe Of ''the thIey-
| ing carpet baggers' who have been plunder;np
the Southern people, and does not spare the
Government that protects them in their un-
measured crimes. He has been. ever since tbe
war ceased, the persistent advocate of amnesty
to Southern REBELS, so-calIed, and braved
the fury OF his party In becoming one Of lief.
ferson Davis bondsmen. He has given the in.
tiuence OF his paper to the cause of Southern
immigration, and, on many occasions, spoken
OF Virginia ana the South as being moss at
tractive fields tor men who seek to promote their
interests by legitimate investments and the mr.
suits of honest industry. He is an honest nm.
selfish man, liberal to the poor, and the friend
| OF all who need friend, and are worthy U;s
| character is pure and unblemished st.;naJ
with single vice. If he were President of the
United States there would be neither drunk.
ards nor drunkenness about the White Honse.
and the iobbers and thieves would have to keer s,
away; He would clear all the knayes out q
the Departments, and Danish them, so far as
ne could, from the public service.
In the above, we have given brief summary
OF what We knoio to be Horace Greeley's pro-
minent characteristics, and, while Comparisons
may be odious, we might well inquire whether
considering moral fitness only, he would not be
great improvement on the present occupant
} OF the White House? Considered intellectual
! ly, he is above comparison = -unapproached, and
unapproachable by him who is to be his oppo-
) nent Now, it may remain for our people to
/ decide between these two men. There may be
left to us no other alternative that will afford
hope of defeating the candidate of the corrupI
/ military ring in which event. we feel quite sure
: the choice must be 10 favor of Horace Greeley
: the honest, capable man and bold reformer.

POETRY.
NORA-BELLE.

Of all the little fairies
That ever loved caressed,
know our little darling
Is the brightest and the best.
Oh the neatest and the sweetest!
No tongue can ever tell
How much of love we lavish
On little Nora-Belle.
She cannot reach the roses
That grow about her way,
But in her face are flowers
More beautiful than they;
And the sunlight falling round her,
CLOVIS with magic spell,
Shedding a golden glory
On little N ora-Belle.
Sheis winsome, she is winning
She is blithe and she is gay,
And she asks the wisest questions
In the most old fashioned way;
And the lilies in the valley,
And the daisies in the dell,
Are not so pure and tender
AS little Nora-Belie.
For, years ago. our Saviour
Blessed children with touch,
And still His words are ringing:
'My Kingdom is of such I"
Flushed with His holy meaning,
They stand outside of sin,
And with his hand to guide them,
They may not enter in.
o rare sunshine and shadowl
That chase each other So
That fall, and fit, and flicker,
And restless come and go!
o winds from o'er the ocean
o breezes from the dell
Bring nought but health and pleasure
To little N ora Belle.

THE History OF A GAMBLER.-A Kentucky
gentleman of full habit, noble front, and an i'm
nressiye appearance of financial stability about
him. saws the Cincinnati Commercial, started
in to break UP a faro bank on Race street on
Friday night; not by the rude and vulgar pro-
CESS Of law, but by the more enlightened and
Diplomatic method of winning out the bank
roll. 1t so happened, however: as it frequent
" comes to pass. it is said that Lady Fortune
did not favor his enterprise In fact luck was
''agiu' him. He played too many on slde'
uniformly augmented and diminished ms pets
Al the wrong time, and the Jack proving
game kcarl," finally caught HIM Tor all ne
had. =,
buy and borrow, SUBSIDIZED his depleted pockets
Tor the thirteenth time, and was still dead
broke with no prospect of winning unless The
house would play for pistols, happy thought
struck him, and with the eyes Of the entire
crowd fixed inquiringly upon him, he belched
forth steaming set of gold mounted false
teeth. There" said he to the colored boy III
waiting, take them teeth to some pawnbroker,
and see what he will give upon them; amt
done with this here game yet. The boy re-
turned with ten dollar bill, but this revenue
had barely put him in fighting trim again when
the rayenous monster with which he was doing
battle deprived him of his weapons at single
blow. He was 'whipsawed' on the first two
cases.
well, it does beat ALL" he remarked, as
he received this financial blow, how many bets
a man can loose. The dealer that had made
such turn as that in kentucky would have
had to leave the State [ will now go out and
do a little trading myself" He retired for a
short time, and returned with few dollars. for
which he had sacrificed his overcoat lie lost
the overcoat on another game keard: and
likewise his undercoat, which soon followed the
former garment to the sign Of three balls. Moth
ing was now left him but a rough cloak, which
the kind-hearted pawn-brokcr had loaned him
until he should redeem his other articles OF
wearing apparel, and his vest and cravat These
were soaked to far distant money lender, and
the proceeds duly disappearing from the big
square," he was adjudgcd a complete bankrupt,
and assigned to prominent seat among the
high players of former times.
About o'clock in the morning, when all the
players had deserted the room and the dealers
were counting up the gains Of the day IN the
dim light of the reduced gas, dull-eyed.
shriveled old man with sunken jaws and attenu-
ated frame sat shivering at the fatal table, In
teuty gazing upon his last tab and numb
ling a complaint to himself that ''if he had had
money and played the last deal to double out,
he would have had many a check now. 1t was
the once robust and noble-looking Kentuckian.
He was total wreck, but, he thanked his
Maker, still thoroughbred.
