The Games Yesterday- The Games To-
day-And Other Items of Interest
The baseball world that stood. ex-
pectant yesterday over two coming
games between the White Stockings and
the Stars on the one hand, and the Mil-
ford and Red Stockings on the other,
were doomed to disappointment. Both
were failures in point Of interest or brill
liant play.
The game between the Stars and Chi
cagos was especially devoid of interest,
1t being apparent from the start that the
Stars had met q club that was their su-
perior at every point. Blong's pitching
was Intellectual against the batting OF
the Whites, who, in the second inning,
scored eight runs; even Prather was not
up to his usual standard of excellence,
and Buchanan on third, though he played
we'll, could not hold that point after
Shoup's inimitable style. The following
Is the score by innings:

The game between the Red Stockings
and the Milfords was some little better
than the above, but still the Reds felt
sure Of their victory and played in q
careless and loose way that at one point
bade fair to lose them the game. The
Milfords are not to be sneezed at, and
some of our pampered professionals will
have their hose, be it "Red" or" hite, !"
peeled completely off their feet by this

GREETING,

So many stars that shine in the sky,
So many little winds murmuring by,
So many blessings attend thee,
So many leaflets as dance on the trees,
So many flowers as wave in the breeze
Brighter than those, love, and sweeter than
these,
The loving thoughts that send thee.
Were the golden sun to shine,
Every ray glad thought Of mine,
Loving and true and tender,
would crown with my beams thy dearest head
From morning golden to evening red,
Deep in my heart lies the thought unsaid
The love that no speech can render.
Might guard thee forevermore-
A sheltering roof, a fast shut door,
So safe and strong to hold thee
In still room thou dost dwell apart,
Thy spirit pure in my loving heart,
SO fair, do dear, SO true thou art
So doth my love enfold thee.
When send thee red, red rose
The sweetest flower on earth that grows
Think, dear heart, how love thee;
Listen to what the sweet rose saith,
With her crimson leaf and her fragrant breath,
Love, am thine, in life and death,
Omy love, dost thou love mep

THEN AND NOW.

An hundred years ago the people were
about as they are now. The only differ
ences have resulted from the changes
that have been wrought by invention, in
dustry and education. In these respects
the contrast is 80 striking that if our i'm
provements are, on the whole, of much
moral benefit. this century should be
very much purer and nobler than any
preceding century. There is, however,
no evidence that, on the whole, we are
very much better than our ancestors.
We don'l gamble as they did-especially
IN Europe. Our Puritan fathers were
always opposed to this vice. But in
England, the best-bred man of the last
century was one Of the greatest of gam
.hlers.
The brilliant Fox having lost an i'm
mense sum in play, and still being cheer
1ul the next morning, was asked how he
could feel so happy after so great a loss,
and replied that II. was bad enough to
lose one's money without also losing his
temper. New York was much given to
this vice an hundred years ago.
So also were our forefathers and fore.
mothers about as vain and luxurious in
dress as we are. In proportion to their
means they were fully as much so. Old
Mrs. Livingston thought that the young
Republic would soon collapse, and our
liberties, so recently acquired, would
soon be lost in consequence Of fashion,
luxury and gambling among her own
sex. They lacked the means which we
possess.
The only trouble with us is that we
have too much in certain places and
families. Love of luxury, idleness and
genteel dissipation was just as strong
and as eager for qualification then as
Row. Our fathers were more virtuous
I than we, only because they were much
poorer. If all our rich and "well-to-do''
classes were poorer they would be much
better on, and the lower class would not
be half as badly oppressed by social ex.
elusion and vile associations.
Our Huguenotic ancestry were chival.
Mo and idnulged themselves under the
code Of honor when an opportunity wal
a6orded. The very silly and crimina
rsiIy Of dueling disgraced our Southern
side down to our own generation
IL il now In limbo among much othel
rubbish Of the past. With dueling chiy

Globe Democrat. has reached us. Al
though mechanically not what it means
TO be, it nevertheless gives ample assur-
xnce that the reputation of the Globe, Of
being the best paper in st. Louis and
one Of the best in the West, will be more
than sustained. The consolidation of
two such papers can not but result in
proving most successful business en-
terprise, and especially when in the
hands of the men who made such name
Tor the Globe in so short time.
The star. (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1874-1875, 1875-05-21

airy itself is dying out. Chivalry, how
ever, had its compensating virtues.
Even the code of honor subserved most
valuable purpose in putting men upon
their good behavior and promoting gen.
tlemanly decorum; though its beneficial
effects were chiefly confined to those
who were equally willing to fight and
about equally skillful in the use of dead
ly weapons. 1t indicated compar-
atively barbarous state of society. Our
Puritan fathers were above this moral
level.
We have also outgrown the idea OF
property in man. Our fathers, whether
Huguenotic or Puritan, had very slight
convictions about the righteousness Of
man ownership. The battle of abolition
ism was commenced in the time of the
fathers themselves; but only two or three
OF them took any active part in the ques-
tion.
Franklin was the first president of the
first abolition society ever organized in
this country. Naturally Quakerish, he
became very thoroughly Quakerized in
Philadelphia-especially in respect to
his human sympathies. Jefferson was
another, and the only other one Of the
patristric abolitionists. The society
was feeble for nearly half century, and
confined to the Quakers. During the sec.
ond half century the agitation increased
until it eliminated in the bloodiest war
of the century, and another crime was
cast out Of our legal and social system.
A century ago ships plowed the deep
with missionaries and bibles ON deck
and slaves below suffering crucifxion
by the score. Not so now; though mis-
sionaries and bibles are often associa-
ted with rum and opium in the passage
to heather lands.
We often hear much spread-eagle
praise of the honesty and patriotism Of
our fathers; but the record does not
show that we have very much degener.
ated. There were more traitors during
the first two years Of the revolutionary
| war than during the four years. war of
the rebellion, while the number engaged
against the enemy was as one to fifty.
What traitors were there on the Union
side to match Gates, Lee and Arnold on
the patriot side of the revolution? So
also the Congress of TIT was even more
stupid than the Congress of 1872. There
were not so many wise editors then to
cry son to Richmond" but Congress
resolved against Washington's delay in
wiping gut the enemy with 10000 British
and 5000 hired Hessians, while he him
self had but 5000 ragged and unpaid
men.
Speaking of the Hessians, reminds US
Of another vile practice that the civil
lied world has .outgrown-that of the
professional soldier, who was ready to
fight for any cause that would pay him
the most. But for the Hessians, the rev.
olutionary struggle would probably have
closed in two instead Of seven years.
Even in respect to official corruption
it might be shown that, in proportion to
opportunities, our revolutionary fathers
are not very much dishonored in their
sons.
