THE GREELEY MANSION.
"REMINISCENCES OF THE HOUSE THAT
WAS BURNED.
From the New York Sun.

Beyond barrel of vinegar nothing
was in the house when it burned, on
Friday, the 14th Of April, 1876. All
Mr.. Greeley's books, manuscripts and
valuable works of art are safe in the
house on the edge of the farm, in the
keeping of bis daughter. Early in the
day on which the house was destroyed
Colonel Smith chopped down, with the
same axe which Mr.. Greeley often
welded, number of trees that stood
between the honse and the renowned
cedar grove in which Mr.. Greeley re-
ceived the Southern delegation Of the
Baltimore Convention in 1879. Had
these trees remained this grove might
have been destroyed. The intrinsic
value of the burned house was small
1t was the most ordinary kind OF a
frame cottage, two stories high, and
shaped in the simplest style But in
associations it was very rich. In it
Horace Greeley spent the twenty years
that succeeded his purchase OF the
Chappaqua property. In ii he wrote,
reared his children, received his friends
and led that quiet, modest life that
made the rustic neighbors worship him
as demi-god. Mrs. Greeley grew to
dislike the building because the shade
and forest trees that hemmed il in and
gave 1t the quiet seclusion that Horace
Greeley most admired IL for also de-
prived it Of warmth and. light, leaving
II damp and unwholesome. The good
wife, with regard for her own and
her children's health, prevailed upon
Mr. Greeley to purchase the little
dwelling facing the main street of
Chappaqua, by the side of the private
roadside 10 the farm. After this had
been snugly replastercd and otherwise
improved, the family moved into it.
But until his death, although several
years passed, Horace Greeley's fond
ness for the old homestead in the woods
never diminished. His books remained
in his old study there, and he came to
them and spent his Saturdays and Sun
days among them, sometimes alone,
but often with his daughters Ida and
Gabrielle, the latter of whom was
always first in his heart

THEIR UP THE FRA GMENTS.

How many lives are, 80 TO speak,

ments which may be either left TO
waste, or be taken up and made the

y than great sorrow. Nature CON-
pels us to live on, even with broken
hearts, as with lopped-off members.
True, we are never quito the same
again, never the complete human be-
ing; but we may still be very re-
spectacle, healthy human being, capa-
bic OF living out our three score years
and ten with tolerable comfort, after
all.
These fragments" of lives, how they
strew our daily path vn vrory s;dsi
Not house do we enter, not COM
pany do we mix with, but we more
than guess-we know--that these our
friends, men and women, who 90 about
the world doing their work and taking
their pleasure therein, all carry about
them secret burden-of bitter disap-
pointments, vanished hopes, unfulfl!ed
ambitions, lost loves. Probably every
one of them, when his or her smiling
face vanishes from the circle, will lchange
it into another, serious, anxious, sad
happy if it be only sad, with no
mingling of either bitterness or bad
ness. That complete felicity which
the young believe in, and expect almost
as matter OF certainty to come, never
does come. Soon or late we have to
make up our minds TO do without it,
to take up the fragments of our bless
ings, thankful that we have and are
what VIC are above all, that we have
our own burden to bear, and not our
neighbors. But whatever 1t is, VIC
must bear 1t alone; and this gather
ing up of fragments, which We are so
earnestly advising, is also thing which
must be done alone.

ouEsTe or the HEART.
Soft falls the gathering twilight,

Soft falls the gathering twilight,
Tho rain from the dripping caves,
Aud stirs, with tremulous rustic,
The dead and the dying leaves;
While afar, In tho midst Of the shadows,
hear the sweet voices Of bells
Come borne on tho wind Of the Autumn,
That htfully rises and swellA
They call and thoy answer each other,
And answer and mingle again,
As the deep and the shrill 10 an anthem
Make harmony still in thoir strain;
As the voices Of sentinels mingle
In mountainous regions Of snow,
TIL from hilltop TO hilltop chorus
Floats down N the valleys below.
The shadows, the freight Of even.
The sound Of the rains distant chime,
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts of a shadowy time
The slumberous sense OF seclusion,
From storms and intrndcrs aloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The paiter Of r,in on the roof.
When the spirit goes forth in Its yoarnings,
To take all It's wanderers home,
Or afar in the regions Of fancy
Deighb on ssiit pinions TO roam,
quietly sit by the irelighi,
The freight so bright and so warm;
Fer know that those only who lsve me
win seek me through shadow and storm
But should they be absent this evening,
Should even the household depart,
Deserted, should not be lonely,
There still would be guests in my heart
Tba Of IL \
The smile aud the glance and the tone,
Will haunt mo wherever / wander,
And thus am never alone.
With those who have leit behind them
The joys and the sorrows Of time
Who sing the sweet songs OF the angels

Your rain and your shadow may fall
My loved and my lost ones you bring me-

THE GREAT EHHIBITTON.
ADVANCE OF THE WORK.

The New York Iribunes Philadcl
phia correspondent writes as follsws !:
Some curious misapprchensions con
cerning the exhibition are ahoat here
and there throughout the country, and
in spite Of repeated corrections are con
tinually rcappeaiing. One is that a
separate admission iec is 10 he charged
at the door of each Of the buildings, and
that tho payment of so cents at the
gates only admits TO the grounds. This
idea Is really too absurd to be enter
tanned by any one at all informed on
the subject of the management Of
worlds fairs but l have heard IL ad-
vanced in New York even, and by per-
sons who might have been expected to
know better. | may, therefore, be
pardoned for repeating what has been
printed o hundred times, that the ten
doi and acceptance ef - GG:y es.t .o.s
at either Of the gates to the exhibition
inclosure will constitute the only pecun-
iary transaction between the visitors
and the managers. After his "frac-
tional" has gone into the box, and he
has passed through the turn-stile, the
visitor will be free to enter one or all
of the hundred and odd buildings in his
own time and manner He will find
ways enough Of getting rid of money,
from the investment of 10 cents in soda
water or popcorn to the expenditure
Of So for dinner at tho 1rots Frres,
but the exhibition authorities will make
no further claims upon bis purse.
Another story that has naturally OBJ
tanned credence among those who have
heard how visitors to foreign fairs have
been feeced, is that exorbitant prices
will be demanded for board and lodg-
ings. The truth is that hotel charges
will be no higher here than in New
York, or Chicago, and that board in
private houses will be very little If any
above the average cost in the cities.
A few hotels Of the first-class will
charge So day--an advance of fifty
cents on their old rates, and from this
maximum price the sliding scale will
run down to So. Several very good
houses of the second-class charge only
SO, and one of the largest of the new
dwelling-house hotels, with accommo-
dations for 1900 guests, has fixed its
rate at $3.50. Under the excellent
lodging-house agency system, visitors
can secure in advance OF their coming
or after their arrival comfortable, well
furnished rooms in private houses at
the uniform rate Of 81 per day, which
includes breakfast and supper, but not
dinner. The latter meal it will be
found most convenient to take at one
OF the restaurants on the grounds.
People intending to come and witness
the opening ceremonies, or to be here
on the Fourth of July, should engage
quarters in advance, but the accommo-
dations offered by hotels and private
lodgings are so ample that they will
probably not be overtaxed at other
times. From earrangementsa already
made and the prices announced, it may
be stated as beyond further question
that Philadelphia will provide enter
tainment for all comers Of kinds suited
to their varinns taste, and at prices in
no case exorbitant.

BRIGHAM YOUNG.


The California papers are full of the
reported intentions Of the Great High
Priest Of Mormonism TO yield grace
fully to the logic OF events and seek a
home elsewhere. More than six months
ago, says the Chicago Inter OCEAN,
Governor Axtell, formerly of Utah, the
confidential friend of Brigham Young,
made an extensive tour through New
Mexico, and was so pleased with
what hc saw that he wrote a series
of articles for publication, and so in
terested the great Mormon chief that
it is not improbable, if suitable ar.
rangements can be made, that the
entire band may at no very distant
date emigrate en- masse. On tho East.
ern part of New Mexico, and flank.
ing the Canadian river, stretches for
more than fifty miles what is known
as the Montoyar grant. The grant is
beautifully situated, fertile, mountain
ous,and well watered. Near tho East.
ern limits of the grant is Fort Bas-
com, government post, long since
surrendered TO Mr. Waddingham, the
present owner This tract is about
forty miles square. The country around
here is very beautiful and picturesque.
Between the two tracts stretch the
Llano Estacado, vast pastoral region,
embracing an acreage Of seyeral mill.
