PRIVATE HABITS OF HORACE GREELEY"
BY MARK TWAIN, OF THE TRIBUNE' STAFF
Mr. Greeley gets up at three o'clock in
the morning ; for it is one of his favorite
maxims that only early rising can keep the
health unimpaired and the brain vigorous.

assembles them in ibe . library; by candle

R. A. KINEILOE
E. H. linteLoz
"Early to bed and early to rise,
Make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise,
he appoints each individual's task for' the
day, sets him at it with encouraging words,
and goes back to bed again. I mention
here, in no fault-finding spirit, but with
the deference justly due a . man who is
older and wiser and worthier than I, that
be snores awfully. In a moment of irri
tation, once, I was rash enough to - s say
never would sleep with him until
himself oi,this unfo . rt un ate habits I have
kept my, ord with bigoted and unwaver
ing determination.
At half-past 11 o'clock Mr. Greeley rises
again. •He shaves himself. He considers
that there is great virtue and , econotny,,in
shaving himself." He does it .
razor, sometimes bumming - 4,-part •of a
tune, (he know's part orit - ttia, and takes
an innocent delight in regarding it as the
• first half of Old Hundred ; • but PaVfieii
familiar with that hymn: belie' felt obliged
to confess that they
.could. not.recognir.e . •
it, and therefore the noise be . makes' is
doubtless an unconscious original compo
sition of Mr.- Greeley's) - and"sometimes,`
when the razor is especially dull, he ac
companies himself with an emphatic for-,
mule. •
He then goes out into his model garden,
and applies his vast store of agricultural
knowledge to the amelioration of his cab
bages ; after which* write able agrit
cultural article for the instruction of Amer;:
lean farmers, his soul cheered the while
with the reflection that if cabbages were
eleven dollars apiece his model farm - would
pay. •
He next goes to breakfast, which is a
frugal, abstemious meal with him and con
sists of nothing but just such things, as
the market affords, nothing more. He
drinks nothing but water—nothing what
ever but water, and coffee; and tea, and
Scotch Ale, and lager beer, and lemonade
with a fly in it—sometimes a lionse fly,
and sometimes a horse fly, according to
the amount ofiuspiration required to warm
him up to his duties. Nixing breakfast
he reads the Tribune all through, and•en
joys the satisfaction of knowing that all
the brilliant things in it, written by Young,
and Cooke, and Hazard, and myself are,
attributed to him by a confiding, and in-:
fcrnal public.
After breakfast he *rites a short edito
rial, and puts a large dash at the beginning
of it, thus (—), which is the same as if
lie put 11. G. after it, and takes a savage
pleasure in reflecting that none of us un-
derstrappers can . use that dash, except in
profane conversation when chafing over
the outrage. He writes this editorial in
his own handwriting. He does it because
he is so vain of his penmanship. He al
ways did take an inordinate pride in his
penmanship. He hired out once; in fib'
young days, as a writing master, but the
enterprise failed. The pupils could not
translate his remarks with any certainty.
His first copy was "Virtue is its own re
ward," and they got it "Washing with
soap is wholly absurd," and so the trustees
discharged him. - lor attempting - to Convey
bad morals, through the medium of worse
penmanship. But, as I was saying, he
writes his morning editorial. Then he
tries to read it over, and can't do it, and
so sends it to the printers, and they try to
read it, and can't do it ; and so they set, it

A TRUE STORY.
While Dr. England,BishOp of Charles
.
ton; was on a Nish, to his native city,Cork, :
he became acquainted With an: exceeding
ly intelligent negro, an Irishman by birth.
After a few interviews with the young
man, be conceived the • idea of educating

among the negroes in South Carolina,
many of whom Were Catholics. 'Conse
quently he sent him to France to prepare
for holy orders. After spending several
years in the seminaries, having completed
Ins "studies, the young'= man came to
'Charlestown,and the Bishop ordained him,
gave him faculties, and sent him on the
mission among his brethrdn, but, strange
to say, they received hini very coldly, and
gaire him to understand that they did not
want-him, that Itliey 'preferred white shep
herdi. This greatly disc:out:aged him, but
he libored earnestly fora •time,, till finding,
he could do no 'good, be resolved to leave;
them and go to Europe; where he could
be better received. Accordingly lid started
for New :York to take passage for France.
Arriving early on a Sunday morning he
concluded to say wiss as usual. St. Peter's
being the nearest church, he directed his
steps, thither, F--h; who was Mid pas
tor, was a native of Cork, like our friend.
Having come to the pastoral residence, our
friend ascended the
,steps, rang .the bell
and inquired for the 'phltor.
The ierVani, informed him that the doc
tor was at 'breakfast, and, pointing to the
basement, "'if you wish to see the doctor
go down there." .
Having dosed the hall door, the servant
ran down hithe'Doetor,.and told' I'lin that
"a very eoniitey looking nagur man" was.
coming down to see him on important bu
sineis. •
). a Tell him' to come in here ? " said . the
doetoi:,
When our friend entered the room, the
doctor, 'irithCait raising from the "table,
bowed, politely to the man and said, with
a 'rich . , Cork accent, " Good morning,
EIMII
.
-."Good morning," kindly replied- bur
friend, 'with vjuat as rich a brogue. • •
The doctor, surprised at the accent,look l
6 - 41 carefully at the man, and said to him
very inquiringly, "What countryman • are
you, sir?"
"I'm an Irishman, sir." •
!,‘ An Irishman ?" said the doctor, still
more surprised.
"Yes, sir, an Irishman."
"Then, pray; what part of Ireland are
you from ?"
"From 'Cork."
•
" Were you born there," said the doctor,
perfectly astonished..
"I was, sir" . .
"What is your * Occupaiion P." said the
doctor. .
" I have the honor of being a clergyman
a priest."
"A priest?". exclaimed the doctor.
" Yes,. sir."
" Who in the name of God, tell me, o
dained you ? "
The Bishop En trod, _ our
friend. '
This was too much for the Doctor, so he
called the servant to show the man the
door. A black priest was, in his opinion,
but he thought it was carrying the joke too
far, for the man to pass for a Cork man
anil-a priest, ordained by Bishop England,
8 o lie motioned towards the door, and said,
" Clear off; "you are an imposter."
"Allow me to show you my creden
tials," replied our friend, proceeding touri
lock his valise: So, having produced the
documents, together with letters of recom
mendation and his exeat from Bishop Eng
land, he was allowed to sit down and ex
plain matters.
-. Even then the doctor was not altogether
convinced till he had questioned him in
Latin, and on Certain theological -- point.
Having received correct answers, in classi
cal Latin, to his questions, he excused him
self for his incredulity; '• but," said he
"yin afraid to allow you to say Mass in
the church ;- these New Yorkers are such
an unruly. set of people, andl am afraid
they would do some damage to you,as they
are not at all friendly to the nagurs—l
mean the black men. However, I have
no objections to allow you to say Mass
privately in the basement of the cburch,or
in the house hero, if you choose. "
Our friend, seeing the great Zprejadiees
that existed, and having had experience
among men of his own color, thought his
best policy would be to keep ,4 dark," so he
thanked the . doctor' for the privilege, and
proceeded very quietly to the chapel in the
basement, the doctor having told Lim that
Ile would send over a couple of boys to
servo his mass,
.
" When - our - friend had left, the doctor
railed the servant, and told her to sehd for
boys to serve that man's Mass. •
"What!" exclaimed the girl, "is that
nagur a priest? "
"Yes, indeed he is. He showed me his
papers, and I questioned him. He is all
right."
" AL , now, doctoi, shure you're only
joking. Shure he's as black as .the ould
.Boy, himself." •
"I know that, 'said the doctor; "but
he's really a priest, for I examined him
carefully." .
" Oh, glory be to God! wonders will
never cease, - Well, well, what won't you
see in America. But did you speak Latin
to him, doctor ? "
"I did; and be speaks Latin very cor
rectly."
" Thank God ! For they say the devil
can't sphake Latin, so he's not the devil
any how. But did you look at his feet, or
did you try him with holy
. water,. doctor,
'ewel ?"
"No; but it's.all right, hurry oli and do
as I told yOu."
So off she Went on her message to the
altar boys. After' allowing the man suffi
cient time to vest and get on the altar, her
curiosity was "so excited ehe resolved to
hear his Mass. She heard the poor man
saying Mass as devoutly and in tones as
sweet and correct as any priest she had
heard in the " ould dart." She did* not
pray much, however, for she kept her
eyes, mouth and ears open till the very end
of the Mass, and then hastened back to the
house to prepare his breakfast for him,
Which she did most willingly after hearing
him say mass.
