President Linooln's Ambition.

1t is nothing against the great Abra-
ham Lincoln that he had an ambition
to be President. Doubtless "eyery
man Of destiny" as he was, has GER
tain premonitions of his own greatness.
The following, by correspondent OF
the New York Tribune, is part OF a
conversation with Mr.. Lincoln's part
ner William Herndon, Esq., reveal
ing some of his aspirations
In common with most people, / had
concluded that this great honor came
to Mr.. Lincoln as unexpected as it was
unsolicited, and to him staggering
piece of luck like lottery prize
This estimate is charming one, but
it is not true one. When the Doug
lass and Lincoln contest was ended
the defeated man said to his part
ner -
BILLY, | knew ] should miss the
place when | competed for it. This
defeat will make me President.
He refused, in the interim, any
proposition looking to his acceptance
of a lesser Office, and this with the
concurrence of his friends and family.
At the same time he took no immedi-
ate means to precipitate his oppor-
tunity; rather, like a man destined,
sat more closely to study and vigilance,
read all the issues as they developed,
and waited for his call.
1t came at last in a special invita-
ton to visit New York and speak in
the Cooper Institute. He felt, intuit-
lively, that this was the Rubicon, and,
with human thrill, paused and hest
tated.
1t is possible that, at this moment,
had any close friend whispered "stay,"
the republic might be dead and Abra-
ham Lincoln living.
Go, Mr.. Lincoln" said Herndon !;
make your best efforts. Speak with
your usual lucidity and thorough
ness"
Home said Co." also.
He appeared in New York, as all
of you remember, and his success
there drew the attention of the whole
country to his name. The west can
originate men, the east must pass
them; and the firm of Lincoln and
Herndon died in reality when the
Convention met at Chicago. He had
at this time reached the highest USE
fulness in his State Of which his nature
was capable.
The best lawyer in it, the hero of a
debate equivalent to a senatorship,
with mind too broad and grave for
mere gubernatorial place, and already,
by four years destiny and prepare
ton, President of the United States.
he went up to the post with dignity
and ease that made men stare, because
they had not seen the steps he took
upon the road.

HORRIBLE STORY.-Since the time
when the Ancient Mariner told the
terrible tale Of the curse-laden ship
with her crew of CHASTITY corpses, no
more thrilling story of the sea has
been related than that of the whale
ship Dianna, that recently drifted in
to one of the Shetland Islands.
A year ago she left the Shetlands
on a whaling voyage to the Arctic
regions, having on board fifty men,
From that time nothing more was
heard of her. The friends of those
on board became alarmed. Money
was raised and premiums offered to
the first vessel that would bring It'd
ings of the missing ship, but all to no
avail. Hope was almost abandoned.
On the I'd Of April, the people near
Ronas Voc, in one of the Shetland
Isles, were startled at seeing a ghast-
~ wreck of a ship sailing into the har-
Dor. Battered and ice-crushed. sails
and cordage cut away, boats and spars
cut up for fuel in the terrible Arctic
winter, her decks covered with dead
and dying, the long lost Dianna sailed
IN like a ship from Deadman's Land.
Fifty men sailed out of Lerwick in
her on a bright May morning last
year. All of the fifty came back on
her on the I'd ofApril, this year; the
same, yet how different!
Ten men, of whom the captain was
one, lay stif1ened corpses on the deck
thirty-five lay helplessly sick and some
dying; two retained sufficient strength
to creep aloft, and the other three
crawled feebly about the deck. The
ship was boarded by the islanders
and, as they climbed over the bull.
Warks, the man at the wheel tainted
from excitement; one of the sick died
as he lay, his death being announced
by the fellow occupant of his berth
feebly moaning. "Take away this
dead man." On the bridge of the
vessel lay the body of the captain, as
1t had lain for tour months, with nine
OF his dead shipmates by his side, all
decently laid out by those who soon
expected to share their fate.
The survivors could not bear to
sink the bodies Of their comrades into
the sea, but kept them so that when
the last man died the fatal ship that
had been their common home should
be their common tomb. The surgeon
OF the ship worked faithfully to the
last but cold, hunger, scurvy and dys- I
entery were too much for him. The 9
brave old captain was the first victim.
and died blessing his men. Then the
Others fell, one by one, until the ship =
was tenanted only by the dead and dv-
ing. One night more at sea would
have left the Dianna floating coffin v
Not one OF the fifty would have lived
to tell the CHASTITY tale. I
