IT is no joke that President Lincoln is
. candidate for another term OF four years
in the White House.-New York Herald.
It certainly would be no joke if he
should be reelected. ed.-Prentice.

it finds it, like . sunny landscape; the
morbid mind depicts it like sterile viii.
derness, pallid with thick vapors, and
dark as the "shadow of DEATH" 1t is
the mirror, in short, on which It is caught,
which lends to the face Of nature the as.
pect Of its own turbulence or tranquility.
