and the magnitude of whose loss makes
her conspicuous above all the rc5t,-
Only few weeks ago Miss Ida Greeley,
sitting beside the death bed of her
mothcr,w was shocked by the intelligence
that her afiianccd lover, young Mr..
Hampstead, an officer on the ill-r.tcd
Missouri, was last seen standing brave
ly at his post, almost cnwrappcd in the
flames that soon burned the vessel to
the waters edge. Following quickly
upon this came the final hour that end
cd the prOtrIctch sufcrings of her in
valid mother. Then the tlaut,htcr.
turning family and wcariIy from tho
scene Of her long and faithful vigils, her
young heart wrung by the anguish of a
double bereavement, flung herself into
the cvcr-opcn arms of her fathcr-that
father who ever held 80 large "A place in
the hearts of his childrcn-upon whom
she now concentrated II filiaI affection
intensified by the removal of the other
objects Of her love, and to whom she
chung all the more fontlIy because Of his
political misfortuncS and the mean and
cruel persecution Of his enemies. But
suddenly the hand of death was laid
upon him also, and while his daughter
watched beside him, vainly hoping
against hope, he gave her Il last tender
look, Whispered n few words unintclli-
g!bly, and soon his warm heart ceased
to beat. Thus has fallen upon her, in
two short months, n triple +orrow-thc
three sharpcst gricfS that death can in
ilict. Around her, in her orphanagc
and bereavement, should cluster The
sympathic3 and prayers Of all lowing
hcHrtS in the land.

THE DEATH OF MR.. GNEELEYs

In many regards Mr.. Greeley was
a character worthy to be set up as a
model. lie was a bold, original and
independent thinker. lie was n man
of uncompromising integrity of char
actcr. Whatever cause he cspoIsed he
believed sincerely that it was q just
one. There is no questioning tho fact
that, in his opposition to slavery, he
believed that he was doing ycoman
service for civilization and chris tianity,
He was, in spite of many personal &C.
centriciticS, warm and gCncrou.-hcart-
ed, and an earnest friend. lie was a
devoted husband and father, bcstow-
ing much of his time and mean, to
the rendering his family pleasure and
happiness.
In the death of Mr.. Greeley civiiiza-
ton and the arts and sciences have
lost an efficient advocate; journalism
has lost one OF the ablcst editors that
has over lived; the world is deprived
Of one of its ah!cst minds, and huInari-
