| We are not, it is known, among the idola-

lately shrouded her horizon will Justly re. I

Mr.! Lincoln touched the keynote of his
career when, in recent letter, he observed
that he had not controlled events, but been
controlled by them. Our great Struggle
has elected no truer or more pertinent Te-s
mark. His usefulness, his, strength, his.
popularity, grow out of the fact that he
accurately collects, apprehends, irterprets,m %
embodies, the average sentiment, lofn6hed
American people. His bark firmly ary,s

FRETFUL PEoPLE.-Men make themselves
uncomfortable, destroy the peace of their
families, and actually make themselves
hated by fretfulness. Beecher says:
d" 1t is not work that kills men, it is worry.
Work is healthy. You can hardly put more
upon a man than he can bear. Worry is
rust upon the blade. 1t is not the revolu-
tions that destroy the machinery, but the
friction. Fear secretes acid, but love and
trust are sweet juices"
We knew a man with a patient, good,
Christian wife, and we never heard him
speak a kind, pleasant word to her, and
doubt if he ever did in the halfcentury they
have lived together. He is always in a
fret. Everything goes wrong. You would
think that he was made of c~ross-grained tim
Der, and had always been trying TO digest a
cross-cut saw. He is always cross, and
thinks that his wife and children, hired
hands, and all the domestic animals, have
entered into a combination to worry him to
death. He is not only rusty, but fairly
crusted over with it. He is encased in a
shell of acid secretions, through which no
sweet juices ever distil. Friction has liter
ally worn him out, and he will soon worry
himself to death. OF course he has never
worked 10 any advantage TO himself or any
body else. With him everything goes
wrong. He superstitiously believes it is
because the devil has a spite against him."
when in truth it is nothing but his own
f~retfulneSs.
