THE RURAL’S FALL CAMPAIGN. 
fi. TRIAL TB.ZF ! 
How Ho Save Postage Next Year, 
The Rural New-Yorker recently entered 
upon the Fall Term of its Twenty-Fifth Year,— 
and, in order to close its first quarter of a cen¬ 
tury properly arid tret a good send-off for its 
next annual voyage, proposes to make it an 
object for at least ten thousand persons to take 
a Trial Trip on board the stanch old craft. 
Please listen to our propositions: 
1. The Thirteen Numbers of the RURAl'S 
closing Quarter for 1874 Oct. 1 to Dec. 31 will 
lie sent, on Trial, for On by Firry Cents, to the 
address of any person in the United States 
whose remittance is received before Nov. 1. 
ft. To all whose subscriptions for 1875 (whether 
singly at $2.50 per copy, or in clubs at $2,) arc 
remitted previous to Dec. 1, 1874, we will send 
the It URAL for the ensuing year free of p istage, 
or prepay the postage under the new law. All 
subscribing after Dec. 1 will be charged 15 cents 
extra for postage—so that those remitting early 
will nave that, amount. 
Agents, Subscribers and other friends of 
Moore’s Rural are earnestly invited to make 
known the above offers, and to lend their influ¬ 
ence to render the Trial Trip a success.

The Lincoln Statue. 
October 15, 1874, was made noteworthy by 
the ceremony of unveiling the Lincoln Statue 
erected over the grave of President Lincoln, 
at Springfield, 111. Senator Oglesby delivered 
the formal eulogy, a poem was read, and speech¬ 
es were made by the President of the United 
States, I he Vice-President, and other dis¬ 
tinguished gentlemen and friends of the la¬ 
mented Lincoln. President Grant's speech 
will command attention for Its unaffected 
simplicity and Its clear though unostentatious 
tribute to the man under whose command and 
liy whoso authority ho fought and wqn his mil¬ 
itary fame and his position as Chief of the 
Annies of the United States. It Is worthy to 
he preserved, and we print it as follows: 
Mr. Chairman, Colima ml Oi'iltUmi.n: On an 
occasion like the present it is a duty on tnv 
pari lo bear testimony to the great and good 
qualities of the patriotic man whose earthly 
remains now rest beneath the dedicated mon- 
urrlent. It was not my fortune tu make :he 
personalacouaintanoo <if Mr. LINCOLN till the 
beginning of the last year of tlia great struggle 
for national existence. During those years of 
doubt and despondency among the many pa¬ 
triotic men of the country, Abraham Lincoln 
nevnr for a moment doubted but the Dual result 
would be In favor of peace, union, and freedom 
to every race in this broad land ; ids faith in an 
all-wise Providence directing our arms to this 
final result was the faith of tin 4 Christian that 
ids Redeemer livt'h. Amid obloquy, pursuit a I 
abuse, and hate undisguised, and which was 
given vent to without restraint through the 
press, upon stump, ami in private circles, he 
retnaioed the same staunch, unyielding servant 
of the people, never exhibiting revengeful feel¬ 
ings towards bis traducora. 11a rather pitied 
them, and Imped for their own sake and the 
goo 11 name ot their posterity they might desist. 
For a single moment, if did not, occur to him 
that not the man Lincoln was being assailed, 
but that a treasonable spirit one waiting to 
destroy the best Government the sun ever 
shone upon was giving vent to itself on Idm 
aatbeGhtef Executive of tho nation orily be¬ 
cause lie was such Executive. As a lawyer in 
your midst he would have avoided all that 
slander, for Ids life was a pure and simple one, 
ami lie, no doubt, would have boon a much 
happier man, but who can t ell what might have 
been the fa to of tho nation but for the pure, 
unselfish, and w’se administration of Lincoln ? 
Erom March. 1804, to the day when the band of 
an assassin opened a grave for Mr. Lincoln 
then President of the l/hitcd States my per¬ 
sonal relations with him were as close, as inti¬ 
mate ;ts tho nature of our respective duties 
would permit. To know him personally was to 
lovo and respect him for his great qualities of 
head and heart, and for his pat ience and pa¬ 
triotism. With all his disappointments from 
failures on tln> part of those to whom he in¬ 
trusted command, and treachery on the part 
of ttaoip who had gained his confidence but. to 
betray it, 1 never heard him utter a compltdnt 
nor cast censure for bad conduct or bad faith. 
It was his nature to find excuses for his adver¬ 
saries. In ills death the nation lost Its greatest 
head. In his death the South lost its most inst 
friend.
