HT The New York Star gives the fol'
glaxinp adviceto the discordsnt organs ::

1.-The Albany Evening Journal thinks it
highly improper for Mr.. Greeley to leave
his home or show himself to the people.
The Times is unwilling that he shall re-
eeive his friends at home. So between
them, the coming President has poor
show for peace anywhere. Grant is
eternally on the go seldom at his proper
place at the seat Of government; often
wholly unfit to do business, and now al
most daily gets off some common place
speech to a few curiosity-seekers If
Grant will only GO on campaign tour,
exhibit himself to the people. and make
50 his maudlin speeches, Mr.. Greeley can
well afford TO play the hermit until after

SoaR" the Great Tyranny of the
Day.
From the London Globe.l laen
OF all the evidences which may be
brought up from time to time OF the luz
ury of present living, the prices paid to
opera singers are probably the most
convincing. The prima donna is the
goddess of modern Worship, and the
hire Of this divinity, or, to use the tech
nical language Of operate critics, this
Diva, is a fair indication of the enthusi-
asm Of her devotees. The sums which
are paid to singers for appearing in an
opera, even for singing couple of soags
in concert room, or at an AT Home,
have risen from figure to figure until
they have at last almost ceased to excite
astonishment. We know thRt one singer
gets 100 guineas q night, another l6O,
and one, it is said, 200 guineas. Where
is this to end? and what is there in the
result 10 show an equivalent for such
outlay? Lady Dedlock, in Mr., Dickens
novel, led fashiop, and the manager OF
the Italian Opera led Lady Dedlock. Is
there, indeed, truth in this satire, and
are we TO look to fashion and the in
fuence of few of her leaders as the
cause of her extrayagGnce2 That is,
Of course, are we to look to the influence
of fashion as being exerted in this case
to an abnormal and unaccountable
extent? Old stagers speak OF the
palmy DAYS of the opera-the days OF
Lablanche, Grisi, and Rubin; the days
Of the Puritani and the Barber the days
that will never return to them, and that
they say Will never return at all. Ger.
tainly, then, ia all the imperiousness OF
a fame that has lasted through two gem
erations, Grisi never touched sIeh ssla-
ries as second-class singers now expect
and receive. 1t is not 8 year since a
prima donna was paid 300 guineSs for
singing for one night. What is there
compesable to this in the remuneration

RECONCILIATION.
BY JAMES II. SULLIVAN.


Too long the lingering vigil yexed my sight;
Too long my spirit chafed in angry pride;
Too long my heart opposed with all its might
The breach which every day grew still more
wide; eA ,Dfl fl3ti
Too long did stubborn folly keep at bay
The better thoughts that welled up from our
heart, rarar % b
And hasty resolution's bitter sway
Keep two proud souls apart,
And angry word and angrier reply.
And stubborn silence which no tongue might
break; Vffl
Nurtured and cherished as the years went by
Embittered years that no remonstrance spake.
But they are past. Forgive we and forget. q
We WOO the future for its promised boohi ~
We hold no censure. cherish no regret,
Nor deem our hearts grew weary all too soon.
The cloud "a past. Wewake as from dream,
And look upon calm and peaceful sky;
Butthoughts fow backward In Q turbid stream
That viii otbrook command, to days gone by.
We wake as from dream that murdered fost.
And strive to sthe each remembered pain,
Each sorrow and regret; but, do our best,
Their shadows still remain.
But now forgive we and forget at last.
And anger and distrust shall FsiGp 10 more;
No proud deceit to hide within the past
foolish lie that was confessed before. q
At last the Dallid cheek with rose tint glows,
The s.orn -euried lID In loving smile is drest
At last the weary spirit indS rep9se
Within kindred breast.
But oh the weary years of strife we past
Nursing the fires Of fsoul-consuming hate;
How l rejoice to know that now at last
The victory is won. nor won too late,
Wewill not stop to question whose the fault
That made our paths diverge through many
years.
Enough that we have now riper trust
A faith baptized in tears. esargt
Come, dearest, to these arms and to this breast.
Where you may cling with trust foreyermore;
God grant you find that sweet and peaceful rest
Through many weary years denied US both be-

From the Turf, Field and Farm.l
The provisions of nature are strange.
Climate forces upon animals different
habits. Towards the end Of December
the female white bear places herself in q
position where the snow will drift over
her. Lying still upon a rock, the snow
falls thiekly upon her, and cell is
formed for winter habitation. In this
cell the animal resides during the period
of accouchement. The cubs are pro.
duced, and the mother remains secluded
with them until the month of March.
The young are very small at first, but
as they grow the heat OF the bodies
melts the snow and thus enlarges the
cell. The warm breath ascends upward,
and makes an sperature for the admis-
sion Of pure air. Before alternating
the bear eats enormously of nutritious
food, and becomes very fat on which
fat she exists during her winter retire
ment. The phenomenon is all
the more singular, as the female bear
is compelled to give sustenanee
70 her Young h gel ag 70 live
herself, and the Surplus fat 10 her own
body her only store Of food. Pertinent
to this DIR. Wood remarks "It is wor-
thy of notice that in the bears Of the Old
as well as the New World, is found
the curious phenomenon Of the tap
FsE, hard cencreted substance which
plugs hp the iEl0stineS and seems TO be
Of service in retaining the animal In
condition. In'ScAndinayia, where the
bears Of 10th sexes retire TO winter
quarters, aud remain IN their hidden re-
cesses for five full months, the tappen
Is very seldom cast until the bear leaves
its dea. in the rare instances where
such an event has Happened the bear is
said to have become misersbly thin and
weak" The snow packs closely, and
makes warm bed. The caloric exhaled
from the body is not swept away by the
wind, but is conserved around the ami
mai, snd sepsaion Is preserved.

beard and mustache interfere with dis
tinct utterance, impeding clear and eff
feetive speech, both together, or even
one or the other separately, obstructs
the play and expression OF the mouth,
and thus hides and hinders the manifes-
tation of feeling The position taken
seems to us to be false one. The gem
tleman will find il difficult to prove that
the wearing of the beard affects the ut
terance or impedes the speech On the
contrary, we believe it to be demonstra-
BILE that the muscles of the throat are
stronger where they are protected by
their natural covering, and the bronchial
organs are less liable to disease. If such
be the fact, the voice, also, must necessa-
rily be stronger and more capable of the
various effects which, taken together, 60
to constitute successful oratory. AS to
whether the beard obstrncts the play Of
the features or not, that is a mere matter
of individual opinion. To us it adds to,
rather than detracts from, the expression
of the mouth; but even if it were other
wise, il would be of less consequence
than the reverend gentleman ascribes to
1t. Ihe mouth is by no means OF the
supreme importance he seems to imag-
inc. Cicero was better advised when he
declared that tho eyes bear sovereign
sway in oratory. 1t is question, too,
whether the loss of the grave and rev.
erend appearance impaired by o full
beard would be compensated by the more
perfect exhibition Of the muscles of the
mouth, even if the latter were of the i'm
puted consequence. A worthy clergy
man Of Queen Elizabcths time gave as
a reason for wearing very long beard,
g that no act of his life might be un-
worthy Of the gravity of his appearance. "
We commend this sentiment to the con-
sideration of the author Of the new cru.
sade against mans natural ornament
