SPEECH BY HORACE GREELEY.
At the press banquet in New 'York, on
.the twenty-sevontb. ultimo Air. fAreoloy
responded to the toast "Country Farm
ing-and dity Farming," in tho following
characteristic remarks :
I don't quite understand whether I am
expected to demonstrate an agreement,
or a contrariety between these two.
things. At any rate, if tho purpose of
the-.sentiment is to affirm that one of
these pursuits is as delightful, and as at
tractive as the other; I.respectfully non
.concur. [Laughter and applause.] As
to city editing, I have 'had something
snore of it than I have desired, and more
than I could' enjoy. ,As to 11 . 4 farming,
there aro • eAtlemen. who have spoken of
•
it rather. mare-freely- than-thOillimi/ g t
knowledge of the subject would admit,
1 think I have seen elaborate statements
of the cost of each turnip, [laughter, ]
and these statements wore made by gen
tlemen who I was not aware were so at
tentive to the cost of things as their cal
etdatiens would seen to imply:- I havo
not made any such calculations myself,
for I have been a little shy of doing so.
[Laughter.] Let me, however, say a
few words about country farming, which
is a thing I very much behove in. Ear

I lay down this proposition: That any
man or woman who can get their work
Bono by 8 o'clock at night, need not con:

when the work stretches far into the
night, to eleven, twelve, one, two three,
begin te“flnd it-irksome: I am now
• not-so fond of sittine up with a • news
paper all night, nor with anybody else,
as I was twenty years agog This, then,
I can say for country farming, that while
It has some rugged aspects, and does not

The battle of life, in by far the greater
number of cases, muse necessarily be
fought up hill, and to win it without
struggle were perhaps to win it without
honor. If there were no. difficulties,
there would be no success ; if there were
nothing to struggle. for, there Ni'ol.llit be
nothing tolJe achieved. Difficulties ma'y
intimidate the weak; but they:lei) only as
a wholesome stimulus to nien , of pluck
and resolution. All experiences of life
serves to prove that the impediments
thrown in the way of human advance

that ho would 'have . his • eye

expected from this that ho would Wait

that I had very much . underrated the

While I was still lighting 'with the
difficulties of setting :up my office,. and
recommending Myself to connection, and
so forth;. I got a Message from Mr.
nuintleroy tolling me. to call on him, at
the banking house, no first time I was
passing that way:. As you may 'easily
imagine, I contrived to •be paSSing that
way on a particularly early occasion,
and, on presenting :myself at the bank,
I-was showii,at once 'into Mr. Fauntle
roy's privrite room.
He was as pleasant a man to speak to
as ever I met with—bright, and gay, and
companionable in his manner—with a
sort of easy; hearty, jovial bluntness
about LimtiratitittractEd oicryb — o - dy:'
The clerks all liked him—and that is
something lb - say of a partner in a bank- -
•iuglimtse, I can tell you
"Well, young Tdwbridge," says he,
giving his. papers on tho table a brisk
push a Way lfroiri Lim, "so you are going
to set up in business for yourself, are
you? I have a great regard for your
father, and a great wish to see you suc
ceed. Have you started yet? No?
Just owthe point of beginning, eh I-Very

"You are very kind, sir," I answered,
"and I should.. p ask nothing bettealifin
to profit by your
. baiggektiou; if I could.
But my exponsz,s aro heavy at starting,
and when they are all. paid, I am afraid I
shall'haVe very little, left. :to put, bylor

to musteil much more, than three bun

set up My office, andl sfmuld be ashamed
to trouble your house, Air, to open an
account for such a trifle as that."
• "Stuff. and nonsense!" says 111.
Fauntleroy. " Are you a banker?
What business lave you to 'all&an o'fin
jon on the matter? De as I tell you—
leave it to me-bank with us—and draw
for what you like. Stop ! I have n't
done yet. Whim'You open the amount,
speak to the cashier. • Perhaps you will
find that he has got something to tell
you. There ! there !go away—do n't in

That was his way—ah ! poor fellow,
that was his way.
I went to the head,,,aashler the next
Morning when . I opened .iny little modi
cum of an account. Ho had loceived
orders to pay my drafts with Ont rcferenco'
to my. balance. My cheeks, 'when I had
overdrawn, wore to be
,privately shown
to Mr. Fauhtleroy. Do many young
men- who start in business find their
prosperous superiors ready to help them
in that way?
Well, I got on—got on very fairly and
steadily, being Carotid not to venture
out of my.depth, and:not to forget that
small beginnings may lead in time to
great ends. A Prospect. of ono of those
great ends—great, I Mean; to such a
small trader as I Was
_,at thet_poriodr—
L showed itself to me when I had been
some little time in business. In plain
terms, I had a chance ot joining in a first
Ste transaction, which would
,give rub
prdflt "and position, and everything I
waned, provided I could qualify myself
for engaging'in 'it by, getting good se
curity beforehand for a very large amount.
• In this 'emergency, . I thought of 'my.
kind friend, Mr. Fauntleroy, and went to
the 'bank, and sties him once, More in hiti

• There ho Was at the same table, with
the same heapS of papers 'about him, and

might-think-I was taking an unfair.ad :

When I had clone, he just,nodded his
head, Snatched up.a blank sheet of paper,
saribbred a, few lines on-it in Lie rapid
way, handed the writing .to 'me, and
-pushed mo Out of the room •by the two
shoulders before I eouid, say it' single

Ho was shoWn in immediately : mid

He was gone before 7 eenlei speak
again.
I tried to call after him, Infirtny speech
suddenly failed me: it was very foolish,
it was very unaccountable, but there was
something in the man's last, words which
had more than half frightened mc.
I looked at the clock. The. minute
hand was on the quarter, ,
313 offise was just far enough from the
hank to make it necessary for me to de
cide on the 'hist:Mt. If I had . hair time
to:think, I am certain that I should not

curred to„. 'me if I could have had time

sequence, not onoftwthing of any balance
would have been taken from the keeping
of the bank on that Memorable day.
As it was, I had just time ',enough to
