OLD ABE's LAsT.-A good story
is going the rounds in regard to Presi-
dent Lincoln. He said to a New
Hampshire politician the other day,
that many meetings had been held in
widely separated places, to take
measures to supersede him as Presi-
Dental candidate. But whenever the
meeting was held, three men, well
known to him, were found to be the
moving spirits. 1t "reminded him
ola little story" of boy in q certain
district school, who stumbled at the
names Of Shadrach, Meshech II d
Abednego, in reading the Scriptures.
The teacher, after vain endeavors to
correct him, gave up in despair and
turning over a few leaves, set him to
work on a fresh passage. He went
on very glibly for moment, then
stopped, scratched his head, eyed the
page very savagely, and exclaimed;
IN he darned if here amt them
three fellers again.
