REACHING THE HEARr.-A tcac|

REACHING THE HEAnr.-A teach.
cr, now in the First Presbyterian
Church Of Elmira, had years ago the
following interesting experience
A child came into her class for Il
Sabbath whose father was a we'll. known
infidel. He had carefully kept her
from all religious reading and ipstruc.
ton, but had at length yielded TO her
request to go for oncc to the Sunday
School. The teacher resolved to make
tho most Of M opportunity, and lay,
ing aside the usual lessons, went over
the life of Jesus. The child listened
more eagerly than to u romance. And
when, at the close, the tcacher asked il
people ought not to love such a Saw.
Jour as that, the little pupil answered,
|" Yes they all wouM if they knew it
and why don't you tell everybody OF
it ?"
Full Of the narrative, which, from
the moment Of hearing It, seemed to
have won her to an implicit faith; she
went home to tell her father and friends
of what she had heard. No audience
could resist such a preacher. The faith.
er no longer objected to her attendance
at Sunday School, but when necessary,
carried her in his arms to religious SCR
vices. Jesus was to her the nearest
and dearest IF friends, to whom she
went with every interest and anxiety,

oncc he was in Bethany. She and her
mother are now members of the church.

QUASI SLAVERY

NEW ENGLAND.-Horace Greeley
wishes to show the Democracy Of the
South that his recent conversion to
their faith is genuine. 10 convince
them hat he is reliable, he INDUCES in
a miserable firS at New England in
his letter Of acceptance to The Balti-
more Convention. There was a time
when he thought New England about
right in sentiments, but that was before
he had consulted the dictionary and
found that a Democrat and a Republic
can meant the same thing. If he had
any hopes of support from New Eng
land she would be the grand old era
die of liberty" but as he looks for no
help in that quarter, she is a busybody,
interfering in Southern affairs. This
fling at New England is a fling at tic
whole country. Her children are found
in every State. They have been the
pioneers ofthc west ; have joined hands
in every great enterprise have laid
down their lives that tho Republic
might live. Horace Greeley may hate
New England because she Was the
mother of the principles which he has
betrayed. But he can do her no harm,
The nation may good-naturedly dispute
her claims to superiority, but it loves
her devotion to liberty, and can never
forget the debt Of gratitude which il
ov es to her spirit Of enterprise.

A PLEASING PIcruRE.-Thc coun.
try has never been in a o prosp.r-
u condition. Labor is in demand
everywhere, aud wages arc high
Every %law-abiding citizen is in the full
enjoyment Of personal liberty. Our
wealth aud u are attracting to
our shores the skilled labor and the in
telligcnce Of other lands. Our bonds
are equal in value to gold; u moneJ
circulation is but a small per cent,
below them. Our credit is good in all
the money markets Of the world, and
our debt is being funded at a low rate
of interest. We arc at peace with all
the world. Our troubles with England
arc being amicably settled. The South
ern States arc rapidly recovering from
the effects Of the war, and arc growing
in prosperity. All this is due to a wise
aud honest administration of national
affairs. The election Of Greeley would
unsettlc public confidence. and induce a
financial panic. The people know this,
hence their determination to reflect
President Grant.

Don't Like the Dose.

Thousands Of Democrats have repu-
dated Greeley. Thousands more will
do so before November. They see
through his hypocrisy, and know that
she only use he has for them is to reach
rho Presidential chair through their
sotes. From every section Of tho Un-
ion We hear of honest Democrats repu-
diating the sham. In W~cllsville, Ale
gany county, New York, the anne of
ovcr one hundred Democrats are pub
lished who are in favor Of Grant and
Wilson. In the State Of Georgia ut
least twenty-five thousand Democrats
refuse TO vote for Greeley. Through
out Tennessee and Kentucky the disaf-
lection is equally strong. The Demo-
Gratis who agree to swallow Greeley
don't like tho dose, but take it
as 10 best thing that offers. The
Louisville Ledger is already sick
Of the Old Philosophers attempt to
ride two horses. This is the way it
talks over Greeley's second letter Of &C.
ceptance:
Democrats had walked up like little men
md swallowed the Cincinnati pill-aftcr it was
suyar-contcd with the original letter Of con-
struction. We had thought this enough. But
not so. Now, just as we arc enfecblcd, faint and
helpless from the nauscating effect of tho dose,
it seems the very refinement Of cruelty to be
thus drawn across the knoc Of tho grim old
man and soundly Spanked. But-anything
to beat Grant:
They don't like that dose,. but any.
thing to beat Grant" forces them to
swallow it. Before November they will
sec Grant in a better light. The G. REQ.
ley falsehoods will be exposed. The
true patriot will rise above the ambi-
tious %pretender, and the people Of the
South will see IN the hero of the Ap-
pomattox the true friend Of Ill sections,
and the safest nan to trust at the head
Of the nation.

prise as follows;
Last Monday, in company with
John A. Lovely, G. W. Levens, and
T.. D. Porter, VIC started for Aus
tin, partly to attend q meeting OF
the Grant and Wilson Club Of that
place, but more particularly to see the
! place and somc Of her many excellent
citizens. We started from here az
about ten and arrived there about one
o'clock. The crops along the road are
looking very we'll and arc mostly har-
vested. .
W. put up at the Fleck House, one
Of the best and costliest hotels in this
part Of the State. After dinner we
started for the Transcript cfhce where
We found brother Harwood busy at
work upon his excellent paper. The
Transcript is the only Republican pa
per in the county and ably represents
the party upon whose broad platform it
stands, and with an unsparing hand
and ready pen Judge HARDWOOD has al-
ready made it the paper of Mower coun-
ty, and VIC are glad to state that it is a
financial success. To HIM, Mr.. Levens
and the writer hereof, are under obi
cations for one Of the pleasantest rides
W. have had in the State. Austin has
many nice residences, more than is
usually found in towns of its size. We
were taken to Sargeant's Springs about
one and one-half miles trom the town.
These are by far the incest springs VIC
ever saw; the clear, cold water bubbling
up from the center Of a large basin III
force strong enough for a respectable
water power.
We made the acquaintance Of Hon.
Sherman Page, ~ next District Judge,
and his. partner in law, Mr.. Wheeler.
They have a large business. Mr.: Page
helped to break up one Of the. most cor
rupt rings of its size that has existed
anywhere 10 this country, and therefore
the leaders are loud in their denuncia-
tions Of Mr.. Page, aud their little Whit:
fct sets up its interior snarling on every
occasion that presents itself, but true to
its instincts keeps within a short d:s-
lance Of a safe retreat.
In the morning we took a ride with
Alba Miller to his nursery a short dis
lance from the city limits. This nurse.
~ was started two years ago and has a
very good stock of fruit and ornanen.
tai trees and %shrubbeHy. lie has Il
good trade already established. W.
hope the citizens Of this section will
appreciate the efforts Of this firm to cs-
tablish Il first class nursery.
Politically Scshad been lead to IN
derstand HAT Austin WAS one Of the
hot beds Of Grcclcyism in Minnesota,
but upon inquiry found that "they
w,sn't very thick there but il Freedom
>h'ey were going to carry the county for
Grccl"y." There is not yer one-half
he" Republican Greeley mcn in the
town, and Grant will probably receive
AS large a minority as the Republican
ticket received last fall. This is the
opinion Of the most intelligent people
of the town.
