UNCLE ABE's LATEsT.-The following is
given as the latest from the White House:
g In recent familiar White House con.
versation, which, incidentally touched upon
Mr.. Chase, as a Presidential candidate, Hon.
est Old Abe dryly remarked that he would
not for the world dispossess the Secretary Of
the Treasury of this Presidential idea. Let
me, said the President, explain. When
was yet lad, working on farm in Illinois.
was engaged with a brother, once upon
time, in the tedious business of plougbinc
with very lazy old horse. No amount Of
beating would induce him to increase his
usual speed, which was the slowest and sleep.

plough, while my assistant, to the best of his
ability, with a two, hand hickory, kept old
Dayy in motion. Wewere all creeping, along.
when suddenly he moved off at the pace of
young colt just putt harness. What's the
matter?' / inquired. oh said nv broth
er, it's great big hOrse-hy, fastened on old
Dayy's neck; shall drive him OFF, No,
no, said l. as long as he keeps old Davy
going at this rate, let the horse iiv alone.
With his assistance we shall get heap of
work out of old Davy.' So it is with Mr..
Chase. The next Presidency is his horse fy.
and it makes the patriotic Secretary as lively
at his work as old Davy. Let the horse ay

THE HUMAN FAcE.-IIow wonderful it is
that of more than thousand million Of hui
man faces, each covering the space OF but
few square inches, no two should be alikei
What bcnificence, as well as infinite skill,
is shown by the Creator in this beautiful ar.
rangement and what inconvenience would
ensue among lovers, husbands and wives,
parents and children, debtors and creditors,
if all the Distinguishing marks should be OBJ
liberated
Itentity is certain something by which we
know friend, after long years of absence
have changed him and dimmed our memory
of him, and when all the paths we walked
together have grown over. Time cannot de-
stroy it. Eternity will not waste it away
No change of circumstances will obliterate
it.
Individual identity detaches each man from
every other, makes him a unit. and makes
each man himsdf-himself to bear all the
responsibilities of existence. 1t is not only
a variation in form and features, but diff
ferent soul looks ou-from each pair of eyes,
expresses itself in the face, and makes its in.
dividuality known in the general carriage of
the body and the NOV ement of its limbs.
Long absence, foreign travel, exposure in
the camp and field, may produce great
changes but the mother sees her child be-
meath tho growth of years, and q foreign
garb, and the father selects his son from q
thousand soldiers on parade, and recognizes
him among the pale, haggard faces Of the
hospital, or among the killed and wounded
on the battle field
