nemInI.cence. Of Horace Grecley.

The farm on which Horace Greeley spent
his boyhood, near Ttusville, Pa, and where
his father and mother died, is now occupied
by his brother, Barnes Greeley. Not long
ago a correspondent of the Cincinnati In-
quirer made q visit TO the place, and in con-
versation with this brother he related the fol-
lowing incident: "When Lincoln was elect
ed l took notion that would like TO have
the appointment of mail agent on one of our
local roads. The salary was 81, 900 year,
which was a big thing for me. knew Hor-
ace could get me tho appointment. spent
some money travelling around and getting
recommendations, and succeeded in getting
what l thought sufficient. / had letters from
a number Of leading men along the route, as
well as from the party men, and these for
warded to Horace, with letter asking him
TO help me. What do you suppose he did
He wrote back, returning my recommenda-
tions, with the information, penned in his
own hand that he could get the appointment
for me without the slightest trouble, but that
he didn't want to do it. He wanted me TO
stick to the farm. He said that / was the
only boy at home, and he thought it best
that should stay there. 1 wrote back and
explained to him that could be at home
quite frequently; that at that time the sala-
ry Of 81 900 would help me out very consid-
erably that another party had offered TO
take the position for $500 year. wound
up by urging him to help me to the appoint
ment His reply was this: IF another man
offers to do this service for $500, and you
expect 1000, that is an excellent reason
why you should not have it. If you had ii
the government would be losing $500 year.
In the same letter he made me this PROPOSE
ton: Stay on the old farm, and il do not
raise more corn this year on two acres than
YOU do on ten acres / will give YOU $780,
Not being in q position to better myself,
stayed on the farm and accepted his PROPOSE
tion. picked out ten acres of as good
ground as had and planted it in corn. He
planted two acres. When we measured up
in the fall, had beaten him just twenty-five
bushels of ears, and he sent me his check for
500. ."-Sekected

Miscellany.


AMe AAONtnhs
They chose their nook, the bonnie birds,
Mid the crab-trees perfumed snow;
Aud her three blue eggs the brown hen laid
In her warm, soft nest meath the blossoms shade;
Aud patient she kept her watch Of love,
Aud patient her mate to feed her strove.
But IT'S oh, and IT'S oh, for the bonnie birds,
For weary wait they had
While the hours danced by meath the swoet sprini
sky,
And the thlckets rang where the thrushes sang,
And the fields were with cowsps clad
They Matched their eggs, the bonnie birds,
By one, by two, by three;
And hour by hour each yellow bill
CAPPED wide for parents toll to hll;
And the robins, on swift, untiring wing,
Tended each clamering nursling.
But It's oh, and It's oh, for the bonnie birds,
For heavy task was theirs,
As from morn's FIRST light 10 the fall Of night
still to and fro on their quest they go,
Nor ever might cease from cares.
They tended their young the bonnie birds,
Till the counted weeks wore past
Till the down grew dark upon back and crest
And the red turned bright on each little breast;
And with ohirp and twitter, and preen OF feather,
The brood hoped out Of their nest together.
And it's oh, aud it's oh, for the bonnie birds,
Who had watched and worked their day
Worked hour by hour, through sun and shower;
Fer their task was done and then one by one

The Critic Criticized.

[From Aella Green's forthcoming volume
These lines to tell thee, bards
Who sing FOR all the listening land,
And sages wise and famed had named
Felicitous and grand
The verse on which thou didst
Invoke an ignominioH fate,
And, with high, scornful wrath, declare
Unworthy Of thy hatel
Then thou, with thy grey eyes
Quick twihkling in their greedy glee,
And rubbing thy cold palms, didst look
Rxpectant long to see
Before thee, suppliAnt still,
Thy victim bow in further prayer,
And then his trembling form begin
Dissolying into airi
Instead, at equipoise,
He gazed the while in high delight
On thy hard face; then left thee there,
All poWerless In thy might
Although thou gav'st him Joy,
He does not thank the for the bliss;

BOUT OURSELVES.

The Morgan City Free Press, with =
kindly feeling that wc appreciate IN the
highest degree, remarks that the able
gentleman who conducts the Donaldson
Vile CHIEF is spoken Of as !, candidate
for Collector Of the Porta New Orleans"
If the good wishes and hattering opin-
ions Of our journalistic contemporaries
were passports to official prcfermelt, the
editor Of the CHIEF might reasonably
aspire to even Il higher position than
that Of Collector Of the Port, and the
consciousness Of that fact affords rs quite
as much qualification as the mere acInisi-
ton of an office could do, however
exalted its honors or great its emolu
ments.
We beg leave to say, however, that
the report connecting our name with the
position mentioned is somewhat misdi
rected. A number Of friends throughout
the State, and particularly in the Third
Congressional District, have put the
writer forward as u candidate for Col
lector OF Internal Revenue for Louisiana,
and arc uging his claims in :; manner
that is in the utmost degree compliment
tary. Whatever may be the result Of this
movement, the Kindness Of these friends
will be always cherished in our heart Of
hearts with grateful remembrance.

more explicit il the future if they desire
their references to be clearly understood.
Senator Jonas was born i'll Kentucky,

regards the accident Of birth, therefore,
the honors are even; and if property in
tcrcsts are made the basis Of decision is
to which gentleman is less amenabIc to
the epithct Of carpct-baggcr, Mr. kcl-
logg's claim to exemption is superior to
that Of his colleague. Senator Jonas
