The President to Queen Victoria

There is well authenticated story, in
private circles, that, few months ago,
when the rebel rams were about to leave
Liverpool, and our affairs with England
were most fearful and threatening, Presi'
dent Lincoln wrote personal, private letter
to Queen Victoria, on the subject; and
from its reception by her dates the new and
more just policy of the English Government
toward us. A singular and pleasant bit Of
political history, If true-and if not true, II
is very like at least.-[Springfeld Repub

I.AlC'S Autumn.

Like the leaf, life has its fading. We
speak and think of it with sadness, Just as
we speak and think of the autumn season.
But there should DO no sadness at the fad
ing of life that has done we'll its work.
II wo rejoice at the advent of new life, if
we welcome the coming of a new pilgrim
to tho uncertainty of this worlds way, why
should there bo 10 much gloom when all
these uncertainties are passed and life at
it's waning wears the glory of complete
task Beautiful as is childhood in its fresh
ness aud innocence, its beauty is that of un.
tried lifo. tits the beauty of promise, of
spring, of the bud, A holicr and rarer
beauty is the beauty which the waning life
ot faith and duty wears. II is the beauty
OF a thing completed, and as mon como to.
gethcr to congratulate each other when
somo great work has been achieved and
SEQ in its concluding, nothing but gladncss,
SO ought we to feel when the setting sun
filings back its beams upon life that has
answered we'll lite's purpose. When the
buds drop blighted, aud the mildcw blasts
the early grain, and there goes all hope of
the harVeSt-ono may well be sad but
when the ripcning year sings amid its gran.
dcur of autumn ilowcrs aud leaves, why
should we regret or murmur? And so n
life that is ready and waiting for tho "wcll
done of God, whose latest virtues and char
tiles are its uohlest, should ho given back
TO God in ncomplaining reverence, while
we rejoice that earth is capable of so much
goodness, and is permitted such virtue.
