A GREELEY REMlN1scENcE.
How the Great Editor Refused to See the
Late Senator Henry Wilson.


New York Journalist.
Ben Van Houten, Greeleys old bell boy, is
driving milk wagon il New Jersey He was
six feet high when in the Tribune service, and
he had eyes like goggles and hand like the
hand of providence.
"Bub, said Horace to him. as he entered his
sanctum one night. II want TO write for an hour
or two, and | don't want to be bothered Keep
all the buns out of my room"
Yes, Mr.. Greeley" Ben replied in hoarse
voice, for he had a voice like bull of Bashan.
Within half an hour Ben Bruce Dennis Nc
Laughlin and several other political gadfiles
tried to buzz their way to the old mans room,
but were summarily squeched by Ben Finally,
Senator Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, en-
tered. de had been on a campaign tour in In
diana, and he wore the dirtiest buster and SLOUGH
hat that had been seen in New York since the
departure of the Pendleton escort in 1868. The
Senator dropped his carpet-bag and advanced
toward the open door of MIR. Greeley's sanctum,
when he was confronted by Ben.
Where are you goingP blurted the watch
dog.
I'm going to see Mr. Greeley" the Senator
replied
mot much you hain't," roared Ben, elevatins
bis voice SO as to make himself solid with
Horace. Get right out O. here, or I'll help you
ou5"
General Wilson was dumbfounded. His face,
usually red, was made redder by Bens manner.
Wont you be so kind as to take my name in
to Mr.. Greeley2" he asked.
Ben looked hard at him, and asked his name.
Wilson," was the reply. !.
Well said Ben, 'Ill go in and see if he
wants to see you.n
He returned in forty seconds, more aggressive
than ever.
It's just as ] told you," he roared. He won't
see you; now, d-n you, git out O here"
Wilson turned to Amos Cummings. night ed
itor, who lay back in his chair, bursting with
suppressed emotion
whats the matter, General?" he asked.
Senator Wilson explained, while Ben looked on
in establishment.
"There must be some mistake" the night ed
itor remarked, land I'll take you in and introduce
you to Mr.. Greeley"
They entered the great editors sanctum to-
gether Horace sat at his high desk, his eyes
close to the manuscript, scratching away ike a
hen on a fresh sand-heap.
Mr. Greeley" said Amos. ''here's Senator
Wilson. You refused to see him just now"
There was a moment of silence. Horace
scratched away without looking up
"Well" he piped, in a shrill alto, without re-
moving his pen, ''the boy said that id old
bum named Wilson wanted to see me, and
thought it was Billy Wilson"

st. Francis of ssisi,

Bright was the day st. Francis rode
Far down the mount from his abode.
Above where depths of heavens blue,
Beneath there blushed the roses hue.
Twittering birds from tree to tree
Poured fourth their joyous minstrelsy.
To every sense there came feast
AS onward rode the humble priest.
"How pure are all things. all see"
Said st. Francis of Assist.
mid scenes so pure, oh, that might
Behold my Lord, my Life, my Light"
What is 1t stands adown his path
That such loathsome visage hathl
leper, reeking with diseased
Who falls imploring on his knees.
St Francis turns to flee in haste,
As from some dreadful poisonous beast.
But ali, the thought comes to his mind
Ot Him who was to lepers kind.
Once more he turns, and then draws neaR
And to him says, ''Be of good cheer!"
He fills his death white hand with gold;
lie stoops to kiss his garments old
He passes on, while purer still
Are all the scenes his vision I'LL.
New springs of joy are touched within,
He feels cleansing from all sin.
And where once stood the worse than dead.
What bliss! he sees his Lord instead!
Twas thus St Francis learned to find
His Lord mid woes of humankind.

Loves Wane.

What, if love grow weary with long waiting,
Panied with the frequent lapsing Of long years
dissatisfied of love- that knows but tears,
And winter passion, but spring times mating;
Till sick at heart at each long hopes abating
Seeking it find some soul not so remote,
To cling and Irvine soft arms about whose throat
is JOY enough to drown the whole world pratng;--
Shall we condemn, who know not of the sorrow
Endured beyond endurance, and the pain
OF love unsatisfed or shall we borrow
That which hereafter may count as gain?
Loves flame burns bright to-day and dies tomorrow;
And love, unfed with love, is but loves wane.

Relliinned.

All Needless of the world in its own i'll
Absorbed and dumb, the heart lies, while the day
And dark seem but alike: single ray
OF hopeful light breaks through its grief to still.
1t lies alone and helpless: every thrill
OF bitter pain which holds in it such sway
Bt e bolds sga sJ J deai t VIII nOS
The mind takes note of all. Keenly the ear
Hears every slightest Disc, the half closed eye
Sees every pattern the wall, each line
Is cut upon the brain in figures fine
Long years elapse one thinks the grief laid by
A light, a sound, the old hard pain is here.

Mourning "Boss" Tweed.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A cheap eating house OH Chatham street has a
large sheet of brown paper on its window with
the following verses:
''You working class, why don't you rally,
As you done in days gone by,
When your friend Boss Tweed did larry
In the city where he diedl
Di d for what | need not tell you,
Workingmen for you alone
lie honest to you always
Heaven guide him safely home"
Several additional stanzas celebrate the
praise of the bill of fare.

Mrs. Gaines's Curious Mistake.

Mrs Myra Clark Gaines after spending her
long life in litigation arising from her fathers
plurality of wills, has died and left two entirely
incompatible testameuts for her heirs and the
lawyers to fight over. This reminds one of the
English Chancellor, Lord ST. Leonard, who pre-
pared model will-such a perfect instrument
that he used to read it to all his visitors, and
urge upon them the sacred necessity of prepar-
ing ones will in time and depositing it in safe
place-and then passed away having deposited
his will in so safe place that it hasn't been
heard of from that time to this.

A CLOVER CLUB DINNER.
A Novel Plan Adopted for Putting Life into
After-Dinner Speeches.


A Novel Plan Adopted for Putting Life into
After-Dinner Speeches.
Brooklyn Eagle.
think the most enjoyable dinners are those
given by the Philadelphia Clover Club. The or
gan!zation is composed of the jolliest set of men
in the Quaker City and several hundred of them
dine at monstrous table in the shane of four
leaved clover. The popularity of their dinner
is that they endeavor to confuse every man who
gets up to make speech. Nothing tickles the
club so much as to set hold of man who resents
such familiarity, and they often tickled for
nothing is SO startling to diffident speaker as
the manners of the members after he has begun
to talk. To say they are free and
untrammeled in the expression of their opin-
ions concerning the speaker is but a feeble
way of putting it. The gibes, sneers, jeers and
comments which asSail the unfortunate speaker
at every word usually reduce him to state Of.
glbberlng imbecility before he has spoken half
an hour. Then if he is any sort of a man at all
he turns round and bowls out the best speech of
his life after which he is toasted to the limit of
the law. 1t is certainly uncomfortable at first
to face such club as this famous one of Phila
delphia. l remember avery tall, slim and grave
man who rose to make a speech at one of the
Clover Club dinners year two ago, and
who had evidently been kept in ignor-
ance of the methods of the members of that
festive body. He was railroad president
or something of that sort, and his dignity was
preternatural First he coughed slightly behind
his hand, then thrust one hand in his breast and
rested the other in stilted way upon the table.
He looked with grave and important air and
coughed again. Then his voice came slowly
distinctly and with great pomposty. Gentle
men, am gratifed." The club raised it's voice
and some man yelled liar" No one laughed,
and the pompous speaker grew ashy pale Once
more he started off, and when he got to the word
gratifed the club yelled ''liar" at him again.
Then he said very quickly before they had a
chance to yell again, Gentlemen, am gratlfied
to be with you this evening" Before he could
go any further the club burst out with the stir
ring refrain:
We believe you we believe you,
We believe you just now;
Just now we believe you,
We believe you just now.
The dignifed and pompous speaker stood
there. looking bleak and forsaken, while the
members of the club leaned back in their chairs
and shouted the songs SO that it made the glasses
dance on the table When they had finished,
the club saw their honored guest giggling like
schoolboy. For once his dignity forsook him,
and in the next fifteen minutes he made as
bright and clever speech as | had ever listened
to. commend this plan TO many of the clubs
which give dinners, for nothing can exceed the
stupidity of the average after-dinner speech.

The Cure.

Thy witching look is like twoedged sword
To pierce his heart by whom thou art surveyed;
Thy rosy lips the precious balm afford
To heal the wound thy keen-edged sword has made.

Give me thy lips the bitter wound to heal
Thy lips kiss, and l am whole again.

lBy Associated Labor Press.


NEW YORK, Jany. 5.-A good many of
the working people are beginning to>un-
derstand how they are affected by the
tremendous pressure of-ldleness now ex-
listing in the country, and, in consequence,
the agitation of the eight-hour question
is wider than it has been for many day
In New York. The carpenters have been
discussing it, as well as taiIors, shoemak-
ers and other trades. Among the brown
stone cutters and one or two other trades,
the eight-hour system has been in vogue
for years, and now the bricklayers, who
struck for nine hours, last September,
and were not entirely successful, have
fully won their case, so that the nine
hour rule goes into force in all the build
ing trades with the new year. .-,.l
1 have from time to time sent you
news of the extent of idleness among the
various trades in New York this winter;
but the actual measure of what we can
Call SKlll6U' lulou6SS, Ut Iuo luiOucoo Va
skilled labor, has not been attainable till
this time. By the accurate figures gath
cred from the manufacturing establish
ments of this city by Bradstreet's, it is
shown that as many as fifty-fiye thous-
and five hundred and fifty of the hands
in these establishments are just now out
of work. Mind you. this does not in
clude the ldleness among common la
borers or among mercantile clerks apd
other employees, but only the toilers in
our factories. The best computation OF
the total amomnt of idleness at the end
of the year, gives roll of about one
hundred and fifty Thousand. The warn
ing, ''Don't come to New York" ought tc
be impressive in view of these facts.
Reductions of wages are quietly going
on here and there, and the pressure up
on the public charities is overwhelming
according to the official reports.
