In MemOriam.

Mrs. ELIZABETH joiner PHIsLlps
departed this ife, at the residence of
her husband, in Pamela, on the End
day OF December last, aged Al years,
Ii one whose aim and object had
been to promote the happiness OF
her family and friends deserves con
sideration, then was the departed
worthy of all Praise. Devoted and
aIectionate as q wife and mother,
Der assiduous attention to her house
hold was not a tax but a pleasure.
For twenty-five years she had
been a member Of the Baptist church,
whose meetings she seldom failed to
attend. Her faith in the promises
Of Christ was firm and steadfast.-
There were no iutermissions to be
filled by dependency and gloom,
nor was it a meteoric blaze that daz.
2Ied for a moment and then went
out forever but her faith was a bright
and fixed star, whose light was not
darkened and whose lustre never
dimmod. That same faith, with an
ardent and pleasing hope, had build
ed a bridge across the river of death,
over which she could walk and fear
no evil.
"rhou art gone to the cold, dampgrave,
Where remorseless death and silence reign;
But thou did'st trust n Him who has power
10 save,
And III Heaven we shall meet again"

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-07-25

The Cincinnati Commercial whines
considerably over the fact that Repub-
Iiean papers say harsh things about
Horace Greeley. Itseems 10 eonsid-
er the Chappaqua giant Immaculate
that he possesses all the virtues that
attach to the perfectly pure, and there
fore, should not he subject to the crit
.cism Of tilnse whom he has made his
foes.
We differ with the Commercial IN
this idea Passing over the weaknesses
If they can be termed sueh-of
which he was guilty just previous to,
during and after the war, we wish to
suggest that he. has laid himself liable
not only to grave suspicion, but to the
most severe eastigation. He has de-
serted the principles for which he has
fought all his life, he has bowed the
suppliant knee to the unrepentant
rebels, the Tammany thieves and to
his lifelong enemy, the Democratic
party; to-day, he stands as the caDdi.
date Of the Democratic party, repre-
senting in that position all that is rot
ten and corrupt in American politics
These are harsh things to say but they
are true, as every one can see who has
watel ed the eOurse Of events for the
last half year.
It is unnecessary for the Commercial
to plead the baby act for Greeley. He
has chosen his bed and although it
will prove one OF thorns, he must not
expect Republicans-Of whom he has
made enemies because of his poltrOOn-
ery-tO make it more pleasant for
him to lie on. His ingratitude to the
Republican party will follow him to
bis political death and will cause
him more sorrow than he bargained
for.
