BEAUTIFUL HANDS. Such beautiful, beautiful bands, They're neither white nor small, And you, I know, would scarcely think That they were fair at nil. I've looked ou hands whose form and line A sculptor's dream might be, Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands Most beautiful to inc. Such beautiful, beautiful hands? Though heart were weary aud sad, These patient hands ketp toiling That children might be glad. x I almost weep, as looking back v To childhood's distant day, I think how these hands rested not, When mine were at their play. But oh! beyond this shadow land, Where all is bright and fair, J know full well those dear old hands Will palms of victory bear; Where crystal streams, through endlcsi time Flow over golden sJVnds. And where the old grow young again I'll clasp my mother's hands. SHE INVASION OF CHAPPAQUA. me jeorces 01 me Jtx-Lunieuwacy uu sieging Horace Greeley in His Home. A great (lay for tho country yes tcrday, especially the country aboul Chappaqua! At least two hundrec and fifty of Philosopher Greeley'e friends and adherents visited him al his ''humble farmer home," on the Harlem Railroad. LITTLE CHAPPAQUA looked as bright as a silver dollar The good things of tho campaigi nas at last, uegun iu now iu upuu it It flung a flag to thft breczo frera its liborty polo in honor of tbo occasior yesterday, and the villagers turned out in their best attiro to acknowl edge the compliment paid their hon ored lord of the manor and to basli in the nftected rays of his glory. THE 8:25 A. M. TRAIN whioh left the Grand Central depot yesterday carried about a hundred visitors of all kind9, comprising mem bers of the Democratic National Com mittee, members of the Liberal lie publican Committee, personal friende and aanerents 01 uio cancuuaio auu thoir lady friends and relatives. The twonty minutes to eleven train, which is ordinarily an express train, liad two extra cars attached, and stoppod, for this occasion only, at the little station. Guests also came from the country round about, and the whole of Westchester county was represent ed. Among THE DISTINGUISHED VISITORS wese the following gentlemen: Ex Senator Gwin, of California; General J. B. Gordon and General _Chalmcrs of tho Confederate army; Francis \Y Bird, of Boston: E. 0.

Stuart Wise Stella rartridge, Mrs. Jackson Mrs. Lamson, Miss Burbridge, { daughtorof the General. Mrs. Liuson Miss Cora Stuart, and dozens Qf oth ers, WHE.V THE TRAIN STOrPED at Cbappaqua the party stragglec out, most of them being strangers tc the place, and looked about some what bowildcrod at finding no great reoeption, and for that matter nc great shakes of a villago awaiting thorn. They had not long to wait however. In a bene! in tho road, ? fbw rods distant, THE vigorous form op TIIE TfilLOS ? opiier himself, with his broad white hal slammed oatho back of his caput, hit head up and his gold spectaclesjspark ling in the sun, was discerned coining in his jerkey trot down tbo hill to the station. The whole party rangec mechanically along the platform and gazed at the "coming man." The nnhl!(>it.v nf hin T>f?rfm*mnnf'n l?r<lnirli 1 something of a modest tinge to the old gentlemen's lily white face, ant then showed his tooth as a broac smilo oiiino over his foatures. THIS FIRED THE HEART of the assemblage, and when II. O Kent, tho handsome committeeman with long black hair and militar) mustache, who looks as if ho cam< from Georgia, but who really come: from New Hampshire, proposed thre< chairs ior tne next iresiaenr, incy were given with a wild and heart} swinging of hats. Tho Philosophci reached tho platform and shook hands with everybody, had tho la dies carried away in carriages, and invited everybody who wanted to hear about farming to follow him. A PROCESSION WAS FORMED, Jn which the bulky forms of Duke Gwin, of Sonora, one of Maximilian's noblemen; George N. Sanders, and Colonel Andonojo; the shapely figure and poetic face of General JBurbridge, leading his little daughter in deep mourning by tho hand, the slender fpamAci r*f' KVonf>ia VV Kird find flf)l. oncl McCrao and others appeared, and followed the rugged down the long platform of the station to the hotel, where some of tha delegates tidied off for a drink, up the road to th&honso in the woods along the borders of the reclaimed morass, and in Indian file up tlio rocky glen to the peerless spring, whoro tho whole delegation took a drink, the Philos opher all along tho routo descanting on the results of his farming. From the spring the party eotinued all around the farm. SNAKES. "Are there any snake-? in here?" asked Senutor Gwin, as they ontercJ the wood. ' Yob," will the Philosopher; "butt they are friendly." "Well, if JL-rccro you," said Cwin, I'd advise 'em to emigrate. Tell 'em to :<jo "West.'" "No, r.o," roplied Mr. Greeley, "I find them very useful in killing ver min. ' Well, said Gwin, quietly, "be-l t^con enakos becoming useful and old abolitionists ami aocesh like you and mc associating again, I think the millcniura's coming." After making tl\o tour of tlio farm the distinguished party returned to the house in tho woods, where in the meantime) tho express train hud dumped another cargo of fifty or; sixty distinguished lights. MISS IDA GREELEY 5 had iD tho meantime received the lady visitors at tho House in the VVoeds, and mado them, in her grace ful way, both welcome and comforta ble. Then, accompanied by her iude f:itic:iblo chief of the luncheon de o partmcnt, Mrs. Stuart, sho had bota lccn herself to the Evergreens, where - a royal tablo was being set. There were lobster salads, baked beans, pot ted pigeon, fish, fruits, vegetables, lelishcs, ice-cream, lemonado and - pyramids of flowers on that ; BOUNTEOUS BOARD, I and yet the major domo of the occan > a negro man, maintained that every L thing on it had been growed on the i farm." "The lobsters ?" qucrricd tho Her aid reporter. , "Yes, sir; doy growed in do brook." I IDA AS A CANVASSER. When the delegates came down to j dinner, 250 strong, it was nearly as i much as the ladies in charge could I do to seo that everybody was served. But they were both indefatigable, and all those hungry fellows were : thoroughly satiated before tho dinner was ended. ';IIow is Ida managing ?" asked Mr. i Greelc}-, somewhat anxious of Thco-( ; dorc Tilton. "Admirably. She's tho best can vasser that you can possibly havo. She's won the suffrages and satisfied i tho hunger of all these gallant fel I lows." i MRS. GREELEY. During the progress of the meal Mrs. Greeley camo out to thjo grounds , in a low carriago. She is still an in I'-l oUa **? n n rl f A OfiA VUI1U, uui suu nas uvbvtuiiubu tu uuu some of these Southerners who had returned to the old Union and were actually supporting her husband for the Presidency. She looks the inva lid, her clear complexion appearing almost transparent, and her large eyes as dark aa night. But sho was cheerful and chatty in her carriage, and insisted upon having every ex rebel on the ground introduced to her. To ono of them sho said :?"I hope I am a good Christian, but I hardly think I could forgive as much as you havo forgiven." "Mrs. Grcelev." responded the oth ['ei*, "it is tbo day of jubilee, and \vc f must all forgive^ as wo hope to be - forgiven." 1 AFTER DINNER. 1 Tho dinner over and the party still . having plenty of time on its bands, - Air. Greeley called all to order and j said Ltbcy would now bavo some r spcoch-making. f CAREFULNESS OF COMMITTEENEN. f Qu the instant General John Coch , rano was at his side. The commit > teeracn of ilr. Greeley arc dreadfully - afraid he will say something. They i don't know just what ho can say that [ will hurt him, and they don't pretend r that ho has any sentiment to conceal, r but they have passed their lives in , running a campaign on the principle , of conccaling all you can, and have i not yet comprehended that the Grcc , Icy campaign is ono that ought to be - based on honest, straightforward say ings and doings, and that as honesty' is the most famous characteristic of I Horace Greeley, persistent and stu ) died carefulness in his expressions - and movements in most likely to in , jure their cause than any slip of the > tongue he might make, So they are afraid lie will say something, and , when ho made this announcement , General John Cociirano was at his side in a moment urging him to be . careful. "Well, I can talk about farming to ; them, I suppose," said the Philoso ? phor, and Cochran withdrew, still - doubtful as to the policy even of dis j cussing farming in u political cam > paitrn. 1 The crowd ranged around the ever-! [ greens and an arm caair was placed 3 in position for tho use of the speak h era. s !Mi\ Greeley mounted the chair, and I said :?My friends, wo are met to l gethcr in a merely social, gathering, l'or no other purpose than to foster the good feeling and harmony that . has sprung up botweon ditTurent par , ties, from widoly separated sections t of tho "Union. I propose to say a 3 few words myself ou the subject of 3 my farm?a subject which certainly > need excite no apprehensions on tho part of my political friends It is twonty years since my wife and I ' determined to movoto this spot. We : lost four childron out of six, and we . felt that if wo did not give tho rc-| I mfiininrr fwn a homo in tho o.nnnt.rv wo might loso them. We looked around for sometimo before wo were satisfied. My wifo's wants were few and humblo. Sho wanted a farm that had a first rato spring, an ever green sbado and a cascade or rippling water upon it. It was two years bo foro I found a placo to Buit. I was at PleasantviLle, making a temper ance speech, when my old friend John C. Furguson, hero with us to-day, told me of this farm. I tasted the spring water and was.satisfied. Mrs. Greeloy did so too, and said it would do decidedly. There was some dif feranCO ahont. thn nrfpn Whon if. [ was discovered that wo wero willing to pay a ccrtain price for it the other party naturally concludcd that wo would pay a higher pricc. We bought it, however, not for its finan cial valuo or for tho money return it would mako us, nor because it was all bog and rocks upon which I could experiment with my ideas of farming (true, you can't very well get a cas cade without recks), but for its com bined advantages. Beginning with ciJafmnrr.ctrr zjgyj forty .icrcs we built tho house in the! woods where then there was not half! the wood there is now. The bo#! grew mosquitoes and frogp. It hadj that facility? The concert of thesoi divine productions were not always unpleasant, though they were rather ! T Tt*Anf f a ^vai?1- nn/1 n rl n i Ulcl J. jl >\ fiio i \j ?A/> a (UIU liiuuu jblnnders of course. Every friend jprodictcdtli.at 1 would get out in a jyear. 1 said that if I did tho Sheriff would sell mo out, though the chance is lost now, for the deeds arc made out in my wife's name, and they couldn't sell the farm without her j consent. 1 have been in business of various kinds and have lost money. It has gone I know not where?';gone whero tho woodbine twincth." I suppose, and everybody thinks 11 have been fooling away money here, j and whilo I have possibly sunk some! money in my farm, at least 1 know tho hole where it went down. I have a large assortment of friends who never come here, but who know just! what each turnip cost and who arc) perfectly satisfied that I have de stroyed ever}'- tree in my woods. 1 lovo the woods* I have an affection nlirl T /1a not. out. <lnu*ri to destroy, but to build up. Where I find dead or worthless trees hin dering the growth of better and no bler trees 1 cut them down to make room for a nobler growth, and I trim off the lower pendant branches of tho trees because I find .that half tho woods destroyed by fire have been lost by tho thick condition of theeo lower limbs, which gives the fire fuol and headway. This is the first time that manj-of you have been here. I have lived here for twenty years. I have a deep affcction for UJn Jnnn T Vi AT\n in flllfl tillO jJl(*Ws X UV|?V wv 44 ?iv. wj ???? In God's own time to die hero. A good farmer would probably have made money out of it, but I don't pretend to be a good farmer, because I can only work at farming a few hours in each week, and that only about twenty weeks in a year, and I have made tho place pay well for it solf. I bopo that all of you?not all | at once, of course, but in groups more widely than tho present?will fre quently call on me. (A Yoico? |';Downatthe White House,") Bad 'farmers make their blunders and go j bull-headed right along. Now I have made blundors?new ones?but I LICVCl JVUjJD ua uiaaiu^ viu vu^u. jl thank you for your presence and at tention. I will^ now ask Senator Gwin, of Mississippi, more rocently of California, to address you. We will have a number of speeches from gen tlemen here, and I will tafco good caro that tho train docs not leave us. SENATOR OWJN's speech. Senator Gwin, a tall, portly man, fully six feet two, with largo features and white hair parted near the mid dle, and standing up with a pure Sen atorial "roach" of ihe old school style, mounted tho chair with seme difficulty and said:? % Ladies and Gentlemen?Twen ty-eight years ago I was a member of tho National Democratic Convention, held at Baltimore, to nominate a Presidential Candidato. The dole rrotna mnrn i ti ct vii/.for] in vnln fnr Martin Van Burcn. But in the mean time, ho wrote a letter opposing the annexation of Texas, a pro-slavery measure, and thereupon tho delegates got clear of him. Tho result was the annexation of Texas and the founding and settlement of California. In 1SC0 another Democratic conven* tion was held in Baltimore, at which the Dcmocrrtie party split up and divided on the question of slavery in the Territories. Crimination and re crimination ensued, and the result was civil war and devastation. The jjemocrauc uonvenuon just neiu :u Baltimoro was harmonious beyond everything. The gentle man nominated there was not a favorite of any of the delegates ; he was not the choice of a baker's dozen of them. It was said that his previ ous nomination was a farce, and 3'ct jthe representatives of three millions of the peoplo of this country came, there just to vote for Horace Greeley as their Presidential candidate. What is the cause of this gentleman's hold upon tho hearts of theso people? Irru l xi._x i _ l. * 1,^ j.iicy liiiuw r.nuu uu is iiuiicsi/, uiuu uu is incorruptible. Wo liavo not had strict honesty and incorruptibility in the Presidential chair lately, but we aro going to put them there next No vember. REAGAN'S SrEECIf. Ex-Confederato Postmaster Gen eral Reagan, a tall, hearty, black whiskcied, bald-headed man, with a piorcing eye and awkward manner and a decided southern accent, was next called upon, and, after a some what lengthy discussion as to the op-! pression by local Eadical government in Texas, said :? TjAT?TTP?! *vt1 fiwTTTTMWV A f. fhfi close of the war tho Confederate sol diers dispersed, with but onefeeling? that of accepting its results and se curing an early reconciliation. This yon may think was strange, but why so? It was not a war of personal hatred. It was a war between neigh bors and brothers on a question in volving 8300,000,000?a question too big to be settled by civil means. It was a war of ideas?one sido fight ing to maintain an institution which is cherished aud believed in and tho other fighting to maintain tho integ rity of the enemies. "We have no apologies to make for accepting tho noerai rcpuoncan canaiaato. ?e care nothing for democracy or repub licanism. We ask only peaco, re-en franchisement and a close of our old wounds. To us that is life and death. COLONEL SIIORTER'S 8PEECII. Colonel Shorter, of Ala., an ex-con fedor.ito colonel, who had snrvnd in tho army and the Congress of Dixie, a wiry, nervous man, slim of figure and fluent in words, with a rapid ac centuation and tho unmistakable dia lect of the South, was next called up on by the Sago, and spoke as follows : Ladies and Gentlemen: If any one had told mo ten years ago, when I was in tho Confederate Congress, standing there as a representative of u secession district in Alabama, that' in 1S72 I d bo here, at tho homo ofj Horace Grccly, advocating bis election j to the President}', I would have said he was a madman, A war has swept eojgjncA c-v-'mw f.' it van over the country, slavery has been' abolished, and Horace Grcoley?tho gontleman sitting there?did more than anybody else to accomplish that result.

General Grant had visited tho South ( and said that tho people thero needed only to know tho people of tho North jto harmonize with them, and that [they were willing and anxious to re ! iurn. But ho himself refused to rc ccivo its. He said peace, but there was no pcace. Peace was on his lips, but war was in his heart. 13ut this old man whom wo aro visiting here at his country home, against whom we have warred all our lives, he prom ises us pcace, and ho will give it to us. When tho storm has lashed the ooean in its fury and the waves have dashed against the heavens in their tumult, lor days after tho storm is over and the clouds aro screno the waves still roll and tumble and the occun still murmurs in tho last subsi dence of its rage.

FRANCIS W. BIRD'S SPEECH. "I will now call on Francis "W Bird, an old radical, of Boston," said the rhilosonher. Mr. Francis W. Bird, ono of the fume as radicals of tho most radical coterie even of Bos ton, a fine old gentleman, who looks like a picture of Old Hickory refined to an intellectual cast, came forward and said: Ladies and Gentlembn : "I can noi promiso to make a spoech. I can only express my personal enjoyment on this Pentecostal day at this out pouring of grace, as in tho days of old among tho Modes and Persians and the dwollors beyond Mesopotamia. A friend?-an old radical friend in Boston?asked me tho other day how 1 coilld bring myself to consort with tho Democrats. I replied to him, "My Christian brother, I am amazed. Yon have read in the Holy Word that the angels of the Lord rejoiced even over one sinner that rcpcntcth. llerc are three million Democratic brothers brought up out of sin. I cannot re joice too much. Theso Democrats are shaming us by their devotion. TIrs is tho most glorious time in the Republic. A few days before the Cincinnati Convention I called upon my old friend Sumner, the Seuator from Alassaehnsetts, and 1 urged him to go forward with this Cincinnati! movement. I told him how it would j affect the hitherto parted sections of ! the country, and bring us into deeper ] loving union than heretofore. lie replied, -'It will bo the greatest po liticul achievement sinco the Declara tion of Independence." I think we I ought to go on our knees and give jthanks for so many blessings. But Ij want to introduce my friend Charley I Davis, a regular Boston .Radical?he'll j speak to you. And with that Mr. Bird jumped J out of the chair and entered again into close conversation with Theodore I Tilton, Senator Gwin and Colonel j Shorter, the quartet forming a most I remarkable instance of how in theso remarkablo times* political extremes meet. XlJll* \ 13 EX'?*Xj\*> II. Charles J^uvis, a short, brown-hair ed, sandy-whiskered Bostonian, mount ed the chair and said : Ladies and Gentlemen: I thank Mr. Greeley and I thank God for; per mission to be hero at this love feast, j I came to see what Mr. Greeley knows 'about farming, and I remain to see what he knows about healing the sec tional animosities of the country.

COLONEL 'm'RAE'S SrEECH. Mr. McEae, of Tennessee, a lank, thin-faced man, with a high forehead, j bushy whiskers, tall, rapid in his declamation and vehement in his ges ticulation. mounted tho chair-and said that he was Consul in Paris in 1S53, when Mr. Greeley was arrested by the French authorities and thrown into prison. Great excitement ensued among the American residents, and lio visited tho prisoner in order to secure his release. lie found him , coolly and contentedly pursuing his investigations in the prison. Only tho other day he visited him as one of a committee to inform him of his ( nomination to tho rresidencjr, and found him just as coolly aud content edly pursuing his investigations into pouuus. iiio genuemau conuiiuuu at some length on tho political quce- j tions, pledging himself and his South- j ern brethren to full acceptance of all the constitutional amendments. lie was followed by General Chalmers, of Mississippi, an ex-rebel Goneral, , who said that ho especially asked to bo considered as good as a "nigger," j and Colonel G. W. Anderson, of Mis- . souri, an ex-officer of the Federal army, who said he had fought these ( men while the}' were at war, but he | did not proposo to keep 011 fighting ,| uxtui' tuu war was over. TIME ! At this stage tho Philosopher, who, with his magnificent gold chronome ter, presented to him semo years ago by tho printers of tho Tribune, had been time-keeper for tho meeting, announced that there remained about thirty minutes to reach tho depot ind the crowd took their wny strag gling to the village. Tito Philosopher i-ame down as far as Williamsbridge, ivhere ho was met by Assemblyman W. W. Niies, with whom ho had en gaged to spend the night. <?.? INTERNAL REVENUE TAXES.

Tlirough a long scries of years, and among most of the races ol men it has risen higher and higher in their estimation, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure th6 va rious affections of tho lungs and .throat, havo made it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease j ana to voting cmmren, it is at uiu game umu ua | most effectual remedy that can be given for incip ient consuirji'ion, and the dangerous affections of the throat and lunge. As a provision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept oa hand in every lamily, ana indeed as all arc some times subject to colds and coughs, all should bo provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought in curablo, still great numbers of cates where tho disease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and tho patient restored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete lit it* mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
