THE following beautiful passage
from Horace Greeley's autobiogra-
ply is very appropriate at this
time.
"Fame is vapor, popularity an
accident; riches takes wings; the
only earthly certainty is oblivion
man cannot foresee what day may
bring forth; and those who cheer to-
day will often curse tomorrow; and
yet / cherish the hope that the jour-
nal / projected and established will
live and flourish long after | shall
have mouldered into, forgotten dust,
being guided by larger wisdom,
a more unerring sagacity to discern
the right. though not by more un.
faltcriDg readiness to embrace and
defend it at whatever personsl rost,
and that the stone which covers my
ashes may bear to FUTURE eyes the

Greeley's Mother.

i, 1t was the fortune of Horace Gree
ley to have mother who, to the
virtues she inherited from the
Woodburns, added many of her
own. Mrs. Greeley was the favor
ite of the township, the natural pro-
tector of tho weak, tho born consider
of the afflicted, the inevitable friend
and ally of every child in tho neigh
borhood. She was q great reader,
and remembered all she read. She
loved agricultural pursuits, was
fond of flowers and bees, and had 4
passion for walking. After work
ing in the fields and garden, doing
the labor Of a man and of a woman,
too, during the day, she would tell
all the old Irish stories she had
learned from her grandmother all
the evening. TO these stories the
boy Horace listened greedily rs he
sat on the floor at her feet, the glow
from the wood fire lighting up his
pale face and his white hair. She
spun as she narrated, while her
boys attention was divided between
the turning wheel and the animated
eyes of his mother. .

The telegraph brings the harrow
ing particulars, of a fire in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, New York City, on
Tuesday night, by which twenty.
two of the servants girls, lodging
in the upper story were burned to
death. The fire started in. the base
ment, in the laundry, mounted the
stair case as through a chimney
until it reached the chambers where
the girls were sleeping, and then
spread ont in full fury cutting off
their escape. Before the fircmen
could come to their assistance, their
rooms were erveloped in flames,
and the poor victims were literally
roasted to death. When. the FIRE
was finally subducd, and the rooms
reached by a ladder from the out
side, a sickening sight presented
itself to the bcholders. The char
red and blackencd bodies of thir-
teen girls were found in one room
in a confusion of bedding and furni-
turc, and in another room the half
burned timbers of the roof had fallen
on the bodies Of others, horribly
mutilating them. Very few Of. the
victims could be identified. For
some time after the fire started the
clerks of the house in a mistaken
desire to avoid a panic, assured the
guests that it was only little fire
in the laundry, and to the delay in
giving the alarm is due the terrible
results. = ~ ~"

Every year increases the populari-
ty ofthis valuable Hair Preparation;
which Il due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it Is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and il is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GnAr
on FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silkcn.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. II removes all cruptions
and tlandruA, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as IL stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands TO their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is tho most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
rs it requires fewer applications
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes Nd
