LET Us TRY TO BE HAPPY.
by NJ. II. NJ.

Let us try TO be happy though dark be the day,
And dreary the plantoms that rise in our way,
They will vanish before us as mists Of the morn,
When Aurora's fair fingers awaken he dawn.
Then cheerily onward, whatever betide,
We will never know fear with Hope for guide,
And the rainbow of promise spanded above,
As an emblem to faith, that our Father is love.
Yes our Father in Heaven, infOlds, IN embrace,
As He sheds over Nature the sIniles of his face,
And The weary find rest for He gives repose,
Where the wild rncsS blooms, as in Sharon the
Then onward, aud upward; our faith Fixed on high,
The storms and the trnpests Of life will defy,
For the voice of the mighty, as ready to save,
He bushes the tempest is heard DER the wave.
Thus Gcnrsarct once cg,.c rode through the storm,
Our Omnpotcnt Lord, in humanity's form,
stood rcbukci at his voice, aud her murmuriugs
cease,
As, in answer to prayer, she !. hushcd into peace.

4 Bcs01He Fair Oue--An exciting
scene occurred few days ago in the par
lor Of one Of our first-class hotels. a coup
lie had arrived the evening before in one Of
the night trains, and lad retired without
registering their names. The gentleman
was a middlc-agcd, distinguishing mal.-
the lady, young, very pretty, but appar-
entity msophisticated. They did not come
down TO breakfast, but entered the parlor
about ten o'clock, from whence voices in
angry alteration We're soon heard. The
landlord and several guests of the house
went in and found the lady making despe-
rate efforts to stab her companion with
small knife, and declaring that if he did
not fulIil! his engagement and marry her,
that ore or both Of them must die. She
evidently was determined that he'should
die first. The man was holding her hands,
and pleading with her to appeasc her excl

she had been induced to leave home under
promise Of marriage, and She was determin-

\ long CONVERSATION cnsued, and the lady
finally agreed that if The gentleman would
return hoIbe with her, and there have the
ceremony performed, she would forgive
him. So the affair WAS arranged, and the
parties started in the evening train for tho

AN ESGIsn VIEW OF THE PREsr-

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE PREsr-
DENT ELECr.-A recent number Of the
Once Il U'eeI contains the following
amusing exaggerated personal sketch
OF our next President:
Abraham Lincoln is caunt giant
more than six feet high, strong and
long -limbed. lie walks slow, and like
many thoughtful men (Nordswort and
Napoleon, for example, keeps his head
inclined forward and downward. His
hair is wiry black, his eyes are dark
grew; his smile is frank, sincere and
winning Like most American gentle
men, he is loose and careless iii dress,
turns down his tapping white collars,
and wears AaoituaiIy what ne consider
evening dress, His head is massive,
his brow full and wide, his nose large
and fcShy, his mouth coarse and full;
his eyes are sunken, his brazen face is
thin. and drawn down into strong cord,
ed lines, that disclose the machinery
that moves the broad jaw. This great
leader Of the Republican, party-this
abolitionist-this terror Of the Demo-
crats-this honest Old lawyer, with face
half Roman, half Indian, SO wasted by
climate, SO SCARED by life'5 struggles,
was born in 1909 iii Kentucky. His
grandfather, who came from Virginia,
was killed by the Indians. His father
died yomg, leaving widow and sew
ertl children. They removed to fn1i-
ana, Abe being at that time only six
years old. Poor, and struggling, his
mother could only afford him some
eight months rough schooling; AMI in
the clcarings Of that new, unsettled
country, the healthy STRIPPING went to
work to hew hickory and gum trees, to
grapple with the demonstrating bears,
and to look out for the too frequent rat
tlesnakcs. Tall, stout, 1.-THE and smil-
ing, Abe toied on as farm laborer,
mule driver, sheep feeder, deer killer,
wood-cutter, aud, lastly, as boatman
on the waters OF the Wabash and the
Missouri.

n3y@ Two things appear to be essen

~ Two things appear to be essen
tial to success in life: First, to choose
wisely what you will do; secondly,
resolution. Old Hickory once gave to
a young man piece of advice, which,
lie said, was the secret Of his own sue
cess, and would lead any man to for
tune
''Yhcn about to undertake an enter
prise, . said he, E't2ile "a long time to
think as the circil stances allow but
when the time has come to act, stop
thinking"
There is more in this maxim than at
first appears. 1t is in accordance with
the biblical maxim which enjoins the
man who has put his hand to the
plough not to look back, and is similar
TO David Crockett's celebrated motto
BE sure you are right, and then 90
