New ANEcDoTE OF PRESIDENT LNcoLN.-The
Portland (Me.) Press relates the following
The following story, which we youch for rs

modest demeanor, who enlisted private in
one of our Maine regiments. He promised
the position of Chaplain, and it was this consid-
Grafton that induced him to enter the service.
But military commanders who are raising their
men, undergo q certain metamorphosis when at
length the coveted straps adorn their shoulders
precisely similar to that which aspirants for of

members of Congress when snugly ensconsed in
their official paradise. So it happened that poor
NJ, with all his powers of cxhortation, was COM
PEELED to shoulder musket. This be found rk-
some in the extreme, and seeing no hope of re-
lief by application to any subordinate official, he
concluded to apply to the President. Nothing
but utter desperation could have induced him to
take this step, and the idea of approaching the
Chief Magistrate filled his soul with unpleasant
presence in state of trepidation that deprived
him of the power to give very lucid explana-

allowed to make the statutes as well as men.
Does II believe that when this millennium dawns
we shall have absolute justice? If man is to
be shot for seducing married woman, what
shall be done with the married woman who Sc
duces man? II is all balderdash to talk about
the guilt Of this offence against society, as if
that rested entirely upon party. woman
