His bare little feet halfhldden,
His smile still coming uuhidden,
And his heart brimful of glee.

“I want to laugh. Is it naughty 7 Say,

A great ligllt of American journalisn, and
perhaps the most remarkable American of
his period, breathed his last a little before
seven o’clock eslerday evening. It has
never been our 0t 10 record a death whose
. surroundings and antecedents impressed us
Willi such a sense of mournful and even
tragic pulhos. That of President Lincoln
had indeed more of the horror of acertain
kind of stage effect ; but it fell short of this
in the affecting appeal it makes lo the deep-
est sympathies of our common human nature
and ils power.to touch those deep well-
springs of feeling which are the fountain of
unaffected tears. We write these and lines
with a tide of emotion pouring into our
sw1mming eyes ; and'although it hardly be-
cgmes a mail, much less a journalist in the
discharge of his public funclions, to let his
feelings get control of him. we cannot dis-
semble _lhe rief which takes possession of
us at lblsa iclivc termination of a great
career, and this terrible smiling of two in-
genious young hearts, the virtuous, interest-
ing, gilled, doubly orphaned 'daughlers, one
in the bud and the other in the opening
blossom of a beautiful womanhood, who,
with the little interval of a month, lose both
their parents, under circumstances so fitted
lo crush the life out of their despairing
hearts. May God pity and bless them i In
their credulous, confiding- natures, their
ha py inexperience of the coarse ways of
po itics and their filial love and reverence,
vie-may find excuses enough for the fond
visrons, with which their young minds were
many months dazzled, of seeing their father
the honored head of the nation and enjoying
the pride he would have felt in a nation’s
confidence. The rude dashing of this cap
from lheir lips was an affliction, but an
affliction which they could easily have
borne, caring little for it in their womanly
fidelity beyond their sympathetic grief in
their falher’s disappointment. More pros-
lraling strokes were in reserve for lhem to
darken their y'oun , innocent lives. The,
loss of a mother 'w 0 had doted on them,
whose first. and last thought in the long
years of her physical infirmity and suffering
was devoted to their welfare, filled them
with such poignant grief that they no longer

bearing on the happiness of their father.
But when he is so suddenly taken from them
it mustbeaheart of stone that does not
commiserale the late of these guileless, most
interesting, unpretecled orphans. Their
youth, their sex, their innocence, inex~
perience and. allraclive personal qualities,
must cause every feeling heart to bleed for
them. Poor, yearning, forsaken, shorn
lambs to whom the fierce winter wind is not
tempered 1

Poor Mr. Greeley is gone; and no coveted
appreciation can any longer soothe nor any
censure wound him. Perhaps no kindly
human heart-ever so yearned for sympathy
or so eagerly coveted or was so deeply
grateful for just appreciation. No man‘who
was a great power in the politics of his time
was ever so far removed'from the character
ofa stoic. Any friend who was free from
all sus ici of interested molives could
easily lid t eway lo the inner citadel of
his gentle heart. Though an unsparing
controversialist, he bore no,malice even in
the heat of political contention; and no
man ever responded more warmly lo the
personal esleem of party antagonists. Even
wilh Stephen A. Douglas his relations and
intercourse rested on footing of the, frankesl,
hearliest good will; and there have been
recent instances in which he gave his confi-
dence to political opponents with a more
lrusling nnreserve—if it were‘ permitted us
to mention them. But in all such personal
confidences he was a most uncompromising
asserler of his opinions, and his friends out-
side 01 his own party could never fora mo-
ment doubt that it was their‘ persons, not
lheir politics, which be tolerated. ‘It was
like the interchange of courtesies betweei‘i
the officers of hostile armies, wherein the
tokens of personal esleem leave no sort of
doubt that each side will do. its ulmost in
the next diy’s battle. Such natural recog-
nitions of mililary ability and personal
worth imply no sort of infidelity to the
cause for which each party fights. Men of
honorund stable convictions are under no
obligation to deny the virtues or the abilities
of their adversaries. The heart of the pres-
ent writer was never so deeply touched and
moved as when, amid the stray autumn
leaves fullin from the trees of Greenwood,
while Mrs. reele 's cofiin,wiih itsco‘ver-

forget the heart-breaking impression made
upon us by Mr. Greeley’a fixed and most
wistful look directed upon us on that mourn-
f ul occasion, as if craving the deep 5 mpathy
to which our Ion intimate relations enli-
lled him, and which he could not doubt
lhat,above all the other pallbearers, we were
ready'lo give to the bereaved husband and
the half-orphaned, stricken daughters, the

heart. It was the last time that his eyes
and ours ever exchanged an affectionate,
recognizing look; and we deplore our neg-
lect to seek him out and pour our free sym-
pythy into his craving, responsive breast,
after that and scene was over. The earnest
wistful looks he. then fixed upon us will
never be efiaced till our dying day. We beg
lhat readers will pardon us for this unseem-
ly mastery which our emotions have got
over an habitually cold pen. Something
must be pardoned to the infirmity of our
poor human nature.

our feelings would permit us to lake the
position of mere outside spectators, the fit
thing for us to do would be to make a just,

No man failed to know precisely where
Horace Greeley stood, or failed to compre:
bend the pith and persistence of whatever
warfare he waged. It is as an editor and
controversialist that Mr. Greeley is best
known to the world. Ardent and impulsive,
he early took sides on almost every subject
of debate and to some of the positions he
then assrfmed he has clung with unabated
ardor and.steadiness. ,

His judgement has been most at fault on
social questions, but during the last few

are ordinaril accepted. But upon the
questions of emperance, Protection, and
Slavery he has never departed from his

and busy life he has 'contended for with a
force and vigor, a fertility of resource and a
plenlilude of illustration never surpassed.

And it was precisely here that Mr. Gree-
ley was chieflfiI conspicuous. He was a
master of the nglish language. N 0 one
ever commanded a ehoicer or a richer dic
lion. He was eminently forcible and pithy.
His arguments ‘were strong, compact, and
earnest, and his pungent paragraphs were
ever pervaded by a flavor of gefiialily that
gave them raciness and zest. ‘ . ..

It was Mr. Greeley’s desire and aim to
create a great newspaper, in all respects
fully abreast of the great currents of thought
and influence. The claims ofpolitics had
thwarted and shackled this purpose, but
when, after the fatal 5th of November, he re-
turned in his old chair in THE. TRIBUNE
ofiice, he promised “to give wider and sleu-
dier regard to the pregrcss of science, indus-
try, and the useful arts than a partisan jour-
nal could do,” and “sustained by a gener-
ous public, he would _do his best to-make
THE Trauma power in the broader held
it now contemplates.”

Undoubtedly in the future Mr. GI'CIICy
would have given such ducctiotfllo his
journal as would have made it a power in
the new field he proposed to occupy.‘ But
right here, at the close of his busy and cor.-
tenlious career, and at the dawn of what he
promised should be a. new life, he is cut
down long before his usefulness had ended,
and when' years of industry and activily
spread out before him.

'At the age 'of 61, with a constilulion ulter-
ly uncontaminated by indulgence, tempe-
rate, moral, accustomed to outdoor exercise,
in llie fullest vigor of his mental power, he
was the last person one would think likely
to succumb so soon. -

sian soldier, one very cold piercing night,
kept duly between one sentry-box and
another. A poor workinginan, moved with
pity, took 00‘ his coat and-lent it to the poor
soldier to keep him‘warm; adding, that he
should soon reach home, while the soldier
would be exposed out of doors for the night.
The cold was so intense that the soldier was
found dead in the, mornin".
afterwards the poor man was laid on his
death-bed, and in‘ a dream saw Jesus appear’
to him. “You have got my coat on,” said
the man. “Yes, it is the coat you lent to me
that cold night when I was on duty and
