TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8. 1871.
My Old Lore.
I liour in the thicket the brooklet's fall;
A Uintah on the lilac spray
Kings, aa of old, the vesper song
Of the slowly waning day; _ . . ,
And the fragrance comes down from the chestnut
, trees
In tho meadow where daiaioe Uiw,
Aa it came down when tho tender twilight came.
In the springs of long ago.
Far over the dark and shadowy woods,
Comes floating the church bell's chime.
Aa I wander and dream in tho fading light,
Aa I dreamed in Uie olden time.
Wbon I lingered under the chestnut boughs.
Till boshed was the bird's sweet strain.
And the shimmering light of tho moonbeams fell,
On tho leaves like a eilver rain.
But novor shall I wait and watch,
In the huih of the eweet apring night.
For a step In tho depth of the rustling copae,
And Uie gleam of a garment white.
And never again ’ncath the dew-gemmed Cowers,
Khali I linger my love and I,
When the tromuloua stars through the fleecy bars
Look out in the wostem sky.
Yet a Joy which is nameless and strangely sad
Throbe oft in my heart's deep core,
Aa the awoet, eweet love of the days long fled
Is thrilled Into life once more.
O dear was I to the heart that is cold,
And her love o'erahadowa mei still;
And the stars shine down on her grave to-night
In tho lone churchyard on tho hili.
AN AMERICAN BATTLE OF DORKING.
Slmmefiil EfTiirt or Western Cnmlldatea Tor
I lie Presidency to Prejncllce the Public
Mint! Atrnlnst the Formers’anil Mechan
ics’ Cnndltlnte.
From the Indianapolis Evening News ]
Tho following is supposed to have been writ
ten in 1892 by Mas Adeler, who was a witness
of tho terrible scenes which occurred at the
time of which the story tells.. The English
satire, “Tho Battle of Dorking,” [supplied the
suggestion for this prophetic talc:
TBS OONQU8T OF AMERICA.
Yon ask mo to tell you, my children, of the
events which immediately preceded tho destruc
tion of tho once groat American Union, and
tho capture of the country by its present
European rulers, and to say something also of
the cause which led to theso deplorable result a
I undertake the task with a heavy heart, for
when I revert to that terrible time I cannot
help contrasting our proud condition np to that
fatal year with tho hnmiliating position occu-
piod now by tho American people. The story
is a abort ono. In tho fall of 1872 Horace Gree
ley, tho oditor of a newspaper in New York, was
olectod President of the United States. The
people voted for him bocanse they thought he
was an honest man. And so ho was. Bnt he
was also vain and weak, and he entertained cer
tain fanatical and preposterous notions—abont
ngrionltnral matters, for instance—which he
was determined to force npon the people at all
hazzards and despite all opposition. He believed,
among other things, that every man ought to go
to tho Woat to earn bis bread, and long before
he was chosen President he used to advise
everybody to move to that region, as a cure for
all the disasters that could befall tho human
family.
DRIYIKO THE 8F.AB0HD POPULATION WEST.
As soon as he reachod tho Exocutivo Mansion
which wo used to call tho White House, Pros!
dent Greeley organized an army of two bnndred
thousand men, and proceedod to force the en
tire population of tho seaboard States westward
nt the point of the bayonet. The utmost vio
lence was used. Tboso who resisted were shot
down, and their dead bodies were carted off to
a national factory which tho President had es
tablished for making some kind of fantastical
fertilizer. AU the large cities of the East were
depopulated, and the towns wero entirely empty,
Tho army swept before it millions of mon, wo
men and children, nntil the vast plains west of
Kansas wero reached, when the pursuit ceased
nnd tho army was drawn np in a continnons line,
with orders to shoot any person who attempted
to visit the East. Of course hnndrds of thoas-
andsof these poor creatures perished from star
vation. This seemed to frighten President Gree
ley, nnd he sent a message to Congress recom
mending that seven hundred thonsand volumes
of a book of his, entitled “What I Know Abont
Enrming," shonld be voted for the relief of the
starving sufferers. This was done, and farming
implements nnd soeds were supplied; and then
tho millions of wretched outcasts made an effort
to till tho ground. Of the result of this I will
speak further on.
ALL EUBOrE IN ARMS AGAINST AMERICA.
In tho meantime tho President was doing in
finite barm to the country in another way. His
hand-writing was so fearfnlly and wonderfully
bad that no living mnn could read it. And so
when ho sent his first annual message to Con-
gross—the doenmont was devoted wholly to tho
tariff and agriculture—a sentence appeared
which subsequently was ascertained to be:
“Large cultivation of rntabagoe nnd beans is
tho only hope of the American nation, I am
sure.” Tho printers, not beiDg able to inter
pret this, put it in the following form, in which
it wont to the world: “The Czar of Russia
couldn't keep clean if he washed himself with
tho whole Atlantio Ocean once a day!” This
perversion of the message was immediately tel
egraphed to Russia by the Russian Minister,
nud the Czar was so indignant that he imme
diately doclared war.
Just at this time President Greeley under
took to writo some letters to Prince Bismarck
npon tho subject of potato rot, and, after giv
ing bis sigular views at great length, he conolud
ed with the statement that if the Emperor Wil
liam said that snbsoil ploughing was not good
in light noils, or that guano was better than
bone dust, ho was a “a liar, a villain, and a
slave!" Of course the Emperor also imme
diately declared war, nnd became an ally of
Russia nnd of England, against which latter
country Mr. Greely had aotnnlly begun hostili
ties already, because the Queen, in her speech
from tho throne, had declared the Tribune’s ad
vocacy of n tariff on pig iron incendiaujr, and
calculated to disturb tho peace of nations.
Unhappily this was not the full rne^ure of
our disasters. Tho President had sent to the
Emperor of Austria a copy of his book, “ What
I know,” Ac., with his autograph upon a fly
leaf. The Emperor mistook tho signature for
a caricature of the Austrian eagle, and he
readily joined in tho war against the United
States; while France was provoked to the
same act by tho fact that when the French
Minister came to call upon Mr. Greely to pre
sent bis credentials, the President, who was
writing an editorial at the time, not compre
hending tho French language, mistook the Am
bassador for a beggar, and witbont looking np
handed him a qnarter and an order for s clean
shirt, and said to him, “Go West, young man
go Wall"
PRESIDENT GREELEY AND CABINET HANGED.
So all theso nations joined in making war
upon the United States. They swooped down
npon onr coasts and landed witbont opposition,
for tboso exposed portions of onr nnhappy coun
try wero absolutely deserted. The President
was afraid to call away the army from Kansas
nt first for fear the outraged people upon the
plains would oomo East in spite of him. Bnt
at last he did summon the army to his aid, and
it mo veil to meet the enemy. It waa too late.
Before the troops reached Cincinnati Ihe for
eigners had seized Washington and all the coun
try east of the Ohio, and had hnng the Presi
dent, the Cabinet, and every member of Con
gress. The army disbanded in alarm, and the
mvadeis moved to the far West, where they
found the population dying of starvation be
cause they had followed the advice of Greeley’s
kook to "Try, for your first crop, to raise limes;
and don't plant more than a bushel of quick
lime in a hillOf course these wretched peo
ple wero at the mercy of the enemy, who—to
Lis credit be it said—treated them kindly, fed
them, and bronght them back to their old homes.
UTTER RUIN OF, THE REPUBLIC.
You know what followed—how Prince Freder
ick William of Prussia ascended the American
throne, nnd the other humiliations that ensued.
It was a fearful blow to republicanism—a blow
from which it will never recover. It made us,
who were freerueu, a nation of slaves. It was
all the result of our blind confidence in a mis
guided old man who thought himself a philoso
pher, bnt who was actually a fool. May Heaven
preserve you, my children, from the remorse I
feel when j remember that I voted for that
bucolic old editor.
