tle-felds, but school-houses in
which our CHI. ID. !, instructed better
than ourselves, will learn to discern the
shallow arts of the self-seeking dema-
gogue, who would thrive by playing upon
mems ignorance and passion. We have
seen within the last few weeks how a
little generosity in the fountains of our
political existence has warmed the hearts
of men and elevated the tone of public
affairs. This tells us simply but truly
that party lines are not, and ought not
to be, lines Of battle, separating men
committed TO deadly strife. It tells US
that we. the people--acting as q nation.
should be sufficiently independent. bo-
cause sufficiently enlightened, to detect
the true from the false in our leaders and
in our system. There are few of us who do
not know instinctively the truth. We
are constantly deceiving ourselves, con-
stahtly and consciously allowing our.
selves to be deceived, by circumstance
and special pleading. / shall not pre-
tend that it is possible for us to escape
this infirm;ty Of human nature. That
which plead for, which have pleaded
for all my life, is that we shall be gov
erned in our public interests by the same
fair-minded and self-respecting principles
of conduct which good men bring TO their
private walks and ways.
Fellow-soldiers of the Union: cannot
close without thanking you for the OPP
portunity your generosity has given me
to speak in this place, and on my native
soil, for your country and my country,
for your flag and my flag. The Union
Is indeed restored, when the hands that
pulled that flag down come willingly,
and with full hearts, to put it up again.
l come with q full heart and q steady
hand to salute the flag that floats above
me-my flag and your fag-the flag of
the Union-the flag Of the free hearts
hope and home-the star.spangled ban
ner of our fathers-the flag that, uplifted
triumphantly over few brave men, has
never been obscured, destined by God
and nature to watt on its ample fold the
eternal song of manhood freedom to all
the world, the emblem of the power on
earth that is to exceed that on which it
was said the sun never went down. I
had it in my mind to say that it is for us,
the living, to decide whether the hun
dreds of thousands who fell on both sides
during the battle were blessed martyrs to
an end, shaped by q wisdom greater than
ours, or whether they died in vain.
shall not admit the thought. They did
not die in vain. The power, the divine
power, which furrowed the land by battle
fields, sowing it deep and broadcast with
sorrow, will reap thence for us, and for
the ages, nation truly divine; a nation
of freedom and of freemen whose toler-
ance shall walk hand in hand with reli-
gion, whilst civilization points out to
patriotism the many open highways tc
human right and glory.

Donn I,latt on Morton,

Dom Piatt, iii his Washington Cdpi-
tai, gives racy description of one of the
very worst of men in the United States.
His name is Merton. Dom Says: Hae
"God might make worse man than
O. p. Morton-but he never did,
"The combination Of sycophdncy, sin
and demagogism has never been eqnalled
and cannot be surpassed.
HE began life Democrat, and all
that, he says of that organization is the
only sort OF Democrat he developed. He
Joined the party of progressive humani-
tartan ideas when that party showed it..
self to be in the ascendant, and his belief
in human progress is measured by majori-
ties Mt the bailott 4. He has no fifth
in God, man nor l,iorton. He has abili.
ty enough 20 know, but not pride enough
to despise himself. He is one of those
monstrosities created as long Intervals,
for some unknown purpose, that goes
about torturing humanity. A few mor3
demons Of that sort would make the hu.
man race, like the devil.possessed swine,
rush down steep places and perish
through general suicide. "' '@
Mature put n warning mark upon his
couDtenance. Looking upon 1t, scientists
are startled with the fear, that, coming
from the, monkey, we might yet, with all
onr hrhin retnrn tc .hs t.;::::aa HIS jaw
is that of bulldog his mouth recalls
the sculptared satyr Of the Greeks when
the eager sensualism Of the goat was
mi ,, human; his noze is q muzzle, while
his eyes have the tres; :e-..:is glare of d
beast of prey. IS
"He g cEc no woman can love, no man
can trust, no child can reverence
| "His associates are thieves, his friend:
are demagognes, his political support are
negroes. '.h ,,.'
"He isa sycophnnt and flatterer with.
out being weak. He has n brain of nm

to the meanest uses. Possessed of The

skill of coward. "eu Grant was IL
power he fayned like d aniel and fat

gentleman occupies the Executive Man
sion and holds the patronage upon which

Tie Astcr Family.

Speaking of the dissipation of Our first
families, it is to be noticed that an ex-
ception is found in the Astors. This
house has never had a fast young man.
The special weakness in this family is
found in its idiotic character. VIM. B
Aetor's youngest son, Henry, was recent
ly mulcteG iii 55x',. .tHiG for an assault on q
child. Henry is partially idiotic. He
was kept at the farm at Rhinebeck, but
contrived to get away. and married into
queer family. He was in the habit of
preaching" in the kitchen, and on one
occasion child laughed at him, where
upon he struck her in violent manner.
The result was an action for assault, and
the jury, in view of the wealth of the
family, gave e verdict of $4,000. This
is the heaviest damages on record for
such al offence iii this countr;. The
Astors at first, as it is said, determined
not to pay it, but on second thought they
reached different conclusion, and the
judgment was satisfied. The great Astor
estate is now in the hands of Williams
other sons, John Jacob and William.
The former is a leading proprietor and
director of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company, which is the heaviest of
our coal corporations. 1t is now in great
t. 'uble, its stock having declined $63
(per share of $100) since last March. AS
9 director Astor has to bear part of this
difficulty, and the decline in ne market
value of his stock is estimated at nearly
q million. The company is now threat
ened with bankruptcy. 'f
john Jacobs brother William has been
spending the winter in Florida, but will
return as soon rs the Northern climate is
sufficiently mild. He has improved his
Southern opportunities by joining Ma
sonic lodge G. jacksonville. In doing
this ne follows The example of his grand
father, (the original John Jacob who
was in his day q noted member of the
fraternity. Old John Jacob was of a
social turn, and was fond of both billiards
and theatricnls. He loved to attend the
Park theatre, of which he was the ow.. ii.
His brother Henry, the noted butcher
owned the Bowery, and thus .fe sole
theatrical establishments of shat day
were in the ha, OF this pair. John
Jacobs son William differed in these
points from the old man. He was not
social, and never heard of his giving
even dinner party. He was not the:
atre goer, while, far from joining lodge
it may be said he never Joined anything
except the ranks of married life. He
never was a member of a political party
nor of club, nor of a lodge of any kind
He never joined fire company nor q
church. He never was director in q
bank or insurance company; never was
in the militia never did jury duty, and
never had any marked friendships. Ths
! fact is he was the most striking negatioi
this city ever produced. All he did was
to collect rents and invest his money
Only as tenants could mankind become
Of any value to him. As matter O.
family psiSis, iIu ,,i,ic,i 10 the endowment
of the library, and his sols are now (as
another matter of family pride) erecting
q grand altar in Trinity Church to hi!

KEEP Your PRoMIsE.--A boy bor-
rowed n tool from carpenter, prom
ising to return 1t at night. Before even
ing he was sent away on an errand and
did not return until late, Before going
he was told that his brother should see
that the article was returned. After he
had come home he inquired and E:o:::::.=! E:o:::::.=:
that the tool had not been sent to its
owner. He was much distressed to think
his promise had not been kept, but was
persuaded to go to sleep and rise early
aud carry it home the next morning
By Coy light nc was up, and nowhere was
the tool to be found After o long and
frnitlesa search he set of for his ns.gh-
boris in great distress to acknowledge his
fault. But how great was his surprise TO
find the tool on his neighbor's do0rstone.
And then it appeared, from tho prints of
his little bare feet in the mud that the
lad had got up ia his sleep and carried
the tool home, and gone to bed again
without knowing it. OF course boy
who was prompt in his sleep was prompt
when awake. Respected while he lived,
he had the confidence of his neighbors,
and was placed in many Offices of trcst
and profit. IF all grown persons felt an
this boy did there would be good many
tracks Of bare feet found some of these
bright mornings, and what piles of books
and tools would be found at their own
ers' doors
