THE OLD MAN GOES FoR GRANT.
BY JOHN II. YATES.

We've had another meetin' at the school
house on the hill,
And cheers for Grant and Wilson were given
with will;
There were Young men, there were maidens,
there were gray haired mothers there,
And songs for Grant and Wilson filled Win
melody the air.
We came to the conclusion, in looking mat
tiers DER,
That good old Horace Greeley and the Tri-
June are no more;
The Presidential siren sang very pretty
song,
And Horace put his white hat on and followed
her along.
But he's tuck the wrong road, Betsey-a new,
untrodden road; -,
The good things he has said oil Grant Will
prove heavy load;
But of all the loads he carries the heaVies'
will be
The load strapped on at Baltimore, called
"eyil company"
We're all poor creeturs at the best, and apt
to go astray
When Great temptations find our path ant
shine across our way;
Nv faith in human goodness grows weak
does almost fail
When men like Horace Greeley bow down The
knee to Baal.
We've tuck the Tribune many years-wt
farmers round the hill;
Once il was law and Gospel, but It's now
bitter pill:
Because one man leaves principe, ana every
thing that's good,
1t doesn't stand to reason that all we farmers
should
No, Betsey; we 60 in for Grant, the war

The one who routed rebels can rout thu

And when he hoopeR the traitor he dtdnf 9

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

same year the degree of Doctor of Laws was
conferred upon him by Yale College.
Mr.. Seward was reelected to the Senate
in February, 1855, for an additional term of
six wears, and during this second period of
service in the National Legislature displayed
the same active interest in all measures of
great public concern as had distinguished
him in his previous Congressional career.
He took a leading part in the debates con-
nected with the troubles in Kansas, and
strcnuously opposed the admission of that
Territory under the Lecompton Constitution,
insisting upon the right Of the people to de-
eide upon their own organic law. On all Oc-
casions. both IN and out Of Congress, he
wared an uncompromising warfare against
the slave interest, and became well known
as a leader in the North of the party opposed
to the encroachments of that insidious pow
err. He was, in fact, one of the principal
founders of the Republican party, and took a
CONSPICUOUS part in all the important political
campaigns of the time--both State and ma
tonal His speeches on political topics were
among the most extensively read and most
| influential with the pubic of all that APP
peared during this entire period. In a speech
delivered at Rochester, in 1858, he charac-
terizcd the collision between the two sys-
TENS of free and slave labor rs ''an irrepres-
sible conflict between two opposing forces"
and declared that I" the United States must
and will, sooner or later, become either en-
tircly a holding nation or entirely a
free.labor nation" These memorable words,
like his former declaration of n "higher law !"
were denounced as seditious by his political
opponents. and were the subject of much eX-
cited DISCUSSION. Mr.. Seward supported Col.
Fremont for the Presidency in 1856 as he had
supported Gen. Scott in 1852.
The artluous and incessant labors OF this long
period of public service made serious inroads
npon Mr.. Stewards health. and in 1859 he
made a second trip to Europe, extending his
travels to Egypt and the Holy Land. On his
return. in 1860, he was regarded as promi-
nent candidate for the Presidency, and at the
Convention of the Republican party in Chi
cago received l73 votes on the first ballot,
233 being necessary for choice. 1t is not
necessary to now speak of the means by
which Mr.. Seward was deprived of the nom-
ination, for they are well understood and
we'll remembered. The Convention finally
took the work of nomination out of the hands
of wire-pullers, and placed Abraham Lincoln
in the Geld as the Republican, candidate for
the Presidency. Among the filst to promise
their cordial support to the non hee was Mr.
Seward, and he at once enterd ON the can

that had distinguished him throughout ms
