Can You Depend UpOn Him."

Horace Greeley is very firm man,
When he takes stand upon principle,
friends and foes may depend upon him ;
the one side as It friend, the other rs an
opponent. He never cquiyocatcs, When
he advocated the abolition Of slavery he
stuck to it to the end, though for years
he was with the minority. When he ad
vocated the 10Th amendment, which we
opposed, we knew he could be depended
upon as a firm and honorable opponent.
We knew he would never abandon that
principle, and never deceive anybody 10
regard to it. When, on Lees surrender,
he demanded general amnesty aud
peace, as we'll as negro suffrage, we
knew that the people could depend
upon him as an advocate OF those doe
rlneS, aud that no persecution could
swerve him from his purpose. lie stood
manlulIy Tor the peace and amnesty
measure aud in 1861 he was notified
by the Union League that he would be
dismissed from the club We have
recently published his reply--a high
toned. defiant, rcsoiute letter The
disunionists followed him with malig-
nifty, stopped his paper, and tried 10
break his influence. But they made no
impression upon Horace Greeley He
had taken his stand upon what he belize
we'd to be right, and as in the days Ct
the abolition controversy, he could 10
more be swervcd from his course than
Andrew Jackson could have been when
he took position upon Il question OF
principle aal right. We commenced
the newspaper business about the time
that Horace Greeley did. For thirty
years we have exchanged with him,
aud have never failed TO read his journal,
for we always knew that we we've read
ing the opinions Of man who spoke
out sQuarely his honest sentiments. We
could "depend upon him." When he
denounced the frauds Of Grants ad.
mins'ratiou, long ago, and asked for
investigation when he struck sturdy
blows upon Graut's liberation of the
military camp and the murder that
accompanied it, at Chicago; when he
demanded that the central power should
not override the States 10y its military
we knew that he could he depended
upon. He never finchcd from his post
ion. Aud when he declared ia his late
letter Of acceptance in favor Of the writ
of hojcaS corpus, the personal liberty
oil ! for civil government for local
selfgovcrnment; demanding the OBJ
scrvancG of constitutional obligations :;
and struck a square below at usurpaton
and military despotlsm, we felt as GER
tain that the people"coud depend upon
him" as they could upon thu stability
Of the solid rock. You can"depeud
upon Horace Greeley" He never de-
ceived anybody-ncyer played any de,
ceptlye or double part, and he never
will. lie is Il man OF frankneSs OF
character and of unusual hrmnc>s. -

We're all for Horace.

TITS honest Horace Greeley
With his old white coat and staff
The politicians laugh in fear,
In joy the people laugh
A laugh comes DER the Yankees face,
And DER the negro's mouth,
And first, since all these bloody years,
Laugh, too, the wounded South
With laughter like to Summer,
"Let us have peace" indeed,
And not the frosty soldier peace,
Whose wordsa broken reed,
But with this grand old neighbours rule,
And those OF golden law,
Old hatreds shall DO turned to loves
And laughter to huzza.
The camp fires burn for Greeley
But not on fields Of arms
They burn by thinking cotters' hearths,
And wink from prairie farms,
Who're good old couples rub their palms,
And say "Pralse God It's 80
Since ruled so long by men who kill
To vote for one we know !"
Put by the lamp, friend Horace
Thy kindly. busy quill,
When we have made thee President
Then shalt thou have thy will,
For thirty years of earnest work
Deserve rulers wish,
That "when he sees the country safe
He'd like to go and fish"
ALI better had these captains,
Who laugh to their dismay,
Said half the wise things in their reign
Thou sayest every day
And better had they fshed like thee,
Or farmed as bad, dear sage,
Than fshed for rich mems company,
And farmod out patronage
Some Wise men tear thy RlnineSS,
Thy crotchets some distress;
Some fear thy sturdy temperance,
And some thy simple dress.
These only feel their private wish,
When they good Greeley sean,
But all the mighty people feel
An earnest fellow mani
Stand up and shout, We laughers
The laughing sun comes out;
Together let the Northern Yanl;
And Southern Johney Shout
For Brown and Greeley break the night
And lead the era in,
They'll teach us how to laugh and farm,
Well teach them how to win

Rural Beauties and City Bellies.

Country girls are not whit behind their me-
ropolitan sisters in the natural elements of love-
illness, but it must be conceded that the city
bellies best understand the art of preserving and
heightening their personal beauty. The most
perfect features lose half their attraction unless
the complexion is properly cared for, and if the
pretty girls of the rural districts wish to compete
with the "Fairstars" of the fashionable world in
refined attractions, they must pay due attention
to this important point They ought to know,
for the fact is notorious, that Hagan's Magnolia
