Lincoln Daguerreotyped.

The Rev. Mr.. Fowler, of Auburn, in
his thanksgiving sermon, thus spoke of
the President:
The explanation for his every act is
this : He executes the will Of the people.
He represents controlling majority. If
he be slow, it is because the people are
slow. If he has done foolish act, it was
the stupidity of the people which impeil-
ed it. His wisdom consists in carrying
out the good sense of the nation His
growth in political knowledge, his steady
movement toward emancipation, are but
the growth and movement of the national
mind. Indeed, in character and culture,
he is a very fair representative of the
average American. His awkward speech,
and yet more awkward silence; his un-
couth manrer, his grammar, self-taught
and partly forgotten his style miscella-
neous, concerted from the best authors,
like reading book, and yet of,entimcs of
Saxon force and classic purity; his humor
an argument, and his logic a joke; both
unreasonable at times and irresistible al.
ways ; his questions answers, and his ans
wers questions, his guesses prophecies,
and fulfllment ever beyond bis promise
honest yet shrewd. simple yet reticent /;
heavy and yet energetic never despair
ing and yet never sanguine I; careless in
forms, conscientious in essentials; never
sacrificing good servant once trusted !;
never deserving q good principle once
adopted not afraid of new IDEAS, not de-
spising old ones !; improving opportunities
to confess mistakes ready to learn, get
ting at facts; doing nothing when he
knows not what to do; hesitating at moth
ing when he sees right lacking the re-
cognized qualifications of party leader,
and yet Leading his party as no other man
can sustaining his political enemies in
Missouri to their defeat, sustaining his
political friends in Maryland to their vic
tory; conservative 10 his sympathies and
radical in his acts Socratic in his style
and Baconian in his method 1; his religion
consisting in truthfuness, temperance,
asking good people to pray for him, and
publicly acknowledging in events the hand
of God, he stands before you as the type
of Brother Jonathan" not perfect
man, and yet more precious than fine gold.

SLEEP.


BIZ JOHN o. SAKE
God bless the man who first invented sleepP
So Eancno Psnna said and, 90 say II
And bless him also that he didn't Keep
His great discovery to himself or ny
To make it--as the lucky fellow might
close monopoly by patent righ'
Yes bless the man who first invented sleep,
Il really can't avoid the 1teranoho
But blas. the man with curses loud and deep,
whate'er the raseal's NAME or age, or statlon'
Who first invented, and went round aasisins,
That artificial cat-oif-easly rising
.sRise with the lark and with the lark to bed,'
tseeryes some solemn, sentimental owl;
Maaiuls like these are very cheaply said;
Iit ere you make yourself a fool or lowi,
Pray just inquire about their rise-ana isii-
And whether larks have any bed al All
The time for honest folk TO be abed"
l. in the morning if reason right;
And he who not keep his prceious mead
Upon has pillow till IL fairly light,
And 90 enjoy his forty morning w1nks,
Is np-to knavery; or eise-he orinhs'
Thomson. who sung about the Seasons" said.
1t was a glorious thing TO rise in season;
But then he said it-iying--in his bed
AT ten O'Clock A. N--the very reason
lie wrote SO charmingy. The simple fact is,
His preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice.
Fris, doubtless, wen To be sometimes awake
Awake to duty and awake to truth
But when, alas a nice review We take
OF our BEST deeds and days lind in sooth,
The hours that leave the slightest cause weep
Arc those passed in childhood, or-asleep
It's beautiful 10 leave the world awhile
For the soft vision Of the gentle night;
And free at last from mortal care aud guile,
To live, as only in the angels sight,
In sleeps realms costly shut in,
Where, at the worst, we only dream OF sin
So let US sleep. and give the Maker praise
like the lad who. when his father thought
To clip his morning nap by hackneyed phrase
of vagrant worm by early rising caught
Cried =" Served him right it's all surprising
The worm was punished, sir, for early rising
