The Chicago Tribune publishes o letter
from Springfield, H., contaiuing the fol-
lowingl ,..
The old residence OF Mr. Lincoln was
the center Of mornful interest lhronghou,
the entire day of the funeral. With the
appearance Of the house, which has become
historic, oil are familiar. Plain. uupre,cu
ding and substantial, it is the type of Mr.
Lucoln's character. The shrubbery in
fron, Of heihouse. principally rose bushes,
many Of them planted by Mr.. Lincoln's
own hand, are in foil leaf. and beauti
full rose vine chambers mp one of the door
posts, and trails over the cornice Lilies
are sprnkled here and there, and closely
Shaven trim grass plats run down to the
ueat picket fence surmountng the wall
The columns Of the piazza at the lesr OF
the house are also twined with vines and
ereeper', and the apple trees between the
house and the barn showered the ground
with pink and white blossoms, and filled
the air with fragrance The honse. which
is now occupied by Lucien Tl'on, was very
heavily draped in mourning. The windows
were curtained with black and white, and
be corner posts wTeathed with evergreens,
the cornic, hidden by fes,oons of blael
and white looped mp at intervals, and the
space between the cornice Of the door and
the central window filled with the Ameri
can fig gracefully trimmed. There i;
little OF the furniture in the hOnse which
belonged TO Mr.. Lincoln. In the front
parlor is q whatnot and aud a marble top
table, on which was lying beautiful cross
of white camclias. In the back parlor,
which he was accus omed TO use as hi:
study, is his book case. This wns his ia
vori,e room, and here he toiled and wrote
unconsc' 'ously preparing himself fer tht
great mission he was to fulfill.

that there were States In the Union where,

OF the electoral franchise, While in England
the S0merseH case had already decided
that there could be no distinction Of per.

Holland and France had all declared the

A SCRIPTURE MIDDL ic.

God made Adam out Of dust,
But Thought it best to make me first,
SO was made before the man,
To answer Gods most holy plan.
My body he did make complete,
But without legs, and arms and feet.
My ways and actions did control,
And l was born without a soul.
A living being became
Twas Adam gave to me my name.
Thence from his presence l withdrew,
No more of Adam ever knew.
did my makers laws obey,
From them never went astray
Thousands of miles l roamcd in fear,
And seldom on the earth appear,
But God did something in me see,
And put a living soul in me.
A soul Of me my God did claim,
And took from me that soul again.
And when that soul from me had fed,
l was the same as when first made. 30
And without hands, or feet, or soul
travel now from pole to pole.
] labor hard both day and night.
To fallen men l give great light.
Thousands people, young and old,
VIII by my death great light behold "
No fear of death doth trouble me,
For happiness l cannot see.
To heaven | shall never go,
Nor TO the grave, nor he'll below.
Now as these lines my friends you read,
And search the scriptures with great heed,
And if my name you don't find there,
l think it strange, do declare.
