A Per AT THE PRrgprvr IN TIE WHITE

A PEER At THE President IN TIE WHITE
IoUsE.-N p Willis writes from Washington
to the New York Home journal, as follows
The President. of course, is not to be sPo-
ken with, except upon urgent business III
these days; but chance gave me very
pleasant exchange of a few words with NM
last evening. Passing across the interior
hall of the White House, toward the drawing
room where Mrs. Lincoln was to be at home
to few friends without ceremony, met the
Chief Magistrate on the way from the Yea
room to his Office. Evidently thinking that
| was in search of himself he stopped, shook
hands. and looked inquirngly; upon when
| introduced myself apoogized for the inter
rupton, and stood back to let HIM pass
But having thus been made to know me, he
took the occasion to obviate embarrassment
by a few apt words, and ended 10y most
courteously showing me the way to MIS-
Lincoln's reception room.
With my four or five years of ''court lie
in Europe, had never seen that awkward
matter for a high func,onary, an unexpected
and brief interview with stranger, more
admirably and winningly done. 1t was char
acteristic for there was no ceremony about
it but it was full of tact toward me, it was
quite as fall of simple dignity for himself.
Though not coultly manner, it was what
courtly manner tries to imtate-a mien and
presence to absolutely natural and direct for
a Brummel to approve, but which would
have been exceedingly admired by Wei
| lington or a Pamerston 1t is impossible to
look in Mr. Lincolns face, and hear him
speak few words without believing in him.
He looks as honest as he does tall,-and he
is taller than most people, while in the all
sorbcnt openncss of his frank eyes, and the
ready Intelligence of his features and ex-
preston, there is plenty of promise of copa-
bility.

A SToEK SroRY.-Mr Horace Mayhew, in
his new work on Jutland, tells the following
story; An English manufacturer, settled
somewhere in Zealand, and amused himself
by changing the eggs laid by stork, who
annually built her nest en- his house, for those
of an owl. In due course of time the eggs
were hatched, and he was startled one morn
ing by tremendous row going on in the
nest Of the parent stCrks. The male, in a
violent state of excitement, flew round and
round his nest; the female chartered away ::
it was quite evidest that the stork was not
satisfied with the produce Of his helpmate !;
there was something louche about the whole
affair he would not recognize the offspring
After a violent dispute the male few away,
and shortly returned accompanied by two
other storks, birds of consequence ana digni-
ty. They sat themselves down on the roof,
and listened to the pros and cons of the mat
ter. Mrs. Stork was compelled to rise and
exhibit her children. "Can they be mine 2"
exclaimed the stork; "happen what may, |
will not recognize them" On her side Mrs
Stork protested and fluttered, and vowed it
was ell lwitchcraft-neverh had stork possessed
so faithful a wife before Alas alas how
seldom the gentle sex meets with Justice in
this world when judged by man, or in this
case, by stork-king! The Judges looked
wonderous wise, consulted, and then of a
sudden, without pronouncing sentence, re-
gardless of shrieks for mercy, fell on the in
jured Mrs. StorlS, and pecked her to death
with their long sharp beaks. AS for the
young owls, they would not defile their bills
by touching them, so they kicked them out
of the nest, and they were killed by the
tumble. The father stork broken-hearted,
quilted his abode, and never again returned
to his former building place.

OREsrEs a. BRowNsoN FOR THE GOVERN
MENT,-Rev DR. Brownson, the eminent Cath
Ole writer, made a speech at the conservation
of some coors in New York lately. lie said ::
lie appeared not as a reverend, but as
layman. He was here as an American citi-
zen, and if he had good eyes would fight for
it. Laughter and applause This is no
war of aggression or conquest. They went
forth TO defend that inheritance they received
from their fathers. 1t was no question where
men were born-all who fought in this cause
were his friends, his brothers and his coun-
trymen. The hopes of liberty and of Just
government throughout the wotld depended
upon this struggle. The war was as we'll for
the liberty of down-trodden millions through
out the world. For whatever liberty was
attained, the world was interested in its de-
fense. They went to defend the sacredness
of religion, the purity of government and
the freedom of all nations. Many of his
former friends were engaged in war on the
country, but he renounced his fellowship with
them. If it were his own SON. he would dis
own him, and swear that he had in his veins
no blood of his mother Laughter and ap-
! plause. This was Il war to protect rathe,
then destroy. Though the tide of march was
whitened with bones, it would be the bones
of those who fell as martyrs in the cause of
liberty. Men could not live without society.
Society required government government
demanded authority and obedience, and,
if need be, armed force to sustain it. Let
them trust in God and keep their powder
dry laughter and they would be sure of
victory. LApplause.
