: The following anecdcte, OF, Lincoln is
furnished US 81 friend, who vouches
for 1t es 3 true and ACTUAL occurrence !:
"President lincoln has left behind
him the reputation of being an honest
man; but SHAVE heard him called dis
honest, and knew of one occasion where
he gave an individual ample cause to
pronounce him SO. It uas when General
Oorcoran was at Wizards Hotel, soon
after his release from Richmond. The
President had insitod him to dina4r,
and had driven around to the hotel in
his own carriage, to take him to the
White House. ] vas at the time stand
ing talking to a friend near the entrance
of the hotel, where crowd had assem-
bled to catch a glimpse of the gaitsat
Coreesan when he should come. just
then the Presidents carriage drove up
and a servant was sent inside to give
notes to the general.
GAS the President sat waiting in the
carriage, dgforsaea and poorly clad
man reached over into the vehicle, and
presented hing With a dingy looking
document setting forth some clafEa to
charity. Mr.. Lincoln slowly unfolded
and looked at it, as if reading. But
the affairs Of stata were weighing beavi-
ly ON his mind, and he held the paper
SO long in the same position, any one
could have seen, that he was neither
thinking of the beegar by his side nor
the document in his hand. Though his
eyes were seemingly fixed upon it fer
full five minutes, it was evident he was
altogether unconscious of it or its con-
tents. Just shen the general came out
and got into the carriage, the President
quietly folded up the poor mans paper,
and with one hand slipped it into his
pocket, while the otter was extended
to his distinguished guest.
Cup to this time the crowd was Gu
rlously scanning the President, and the
'cdd-looking individual who stood beside
him soliciting his charity. But, as
Mr.. Lincoln was seen coolly putting
the paper IN his pocket, the effect was
irresistible, and burst of laughtag broke
from the bystandera.
GAS the carriage went wfirifng aWay,
the aims seeker became very indignant
asking every one who it was that had
stolen his paper, and loudly proclaiming
the man to be thief and scoundrel."

A MISREPRESENTATION The edi.
tor of the Democrat stated last'week that
o1a.of't the editors of this. paper made
specials request of him ''to publish our
denunciation of Mr.. Hopkins" We do
not know that the editor of the Demo
crat was responsible for what he said
a; the time, or can be considered ac-
couBtabla for what he remembers of the
interview, but the fact of the case s
that be introduced the subject himself
and during tho conversation,
allpsios vas made to. a notice
which the Milwaukee Seatasel had
given our articlg. We replied that We
had seen it and added "gou ought to
publish that;' he said that he had got
something already; and there tAe con-
versation ended This is exactly what
was said and all there was eft. Brick

guilty of such dirty trickcry.

The Reward.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Who looking backward from his manhood's rriine
Sees not the spectre of his misspent tmel
And, through the shade
OF funeral cypress planted thick behind,
Hears reproacliful whisper of the wind
From his loved dead!
Who bears no trace of passions evil force
Who shuns thy sting, terrible rcmorse!
Who does not cast
On the thronged pages of his memory's book,
At times, sad and half-reluctant look,
Regretful of the Pastl
Alas! the evil which We fain would shun
We do, and leave the wished-for good undone:
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrow's weakness, prone to fall;
Poor, blind, improbable servants all
Are we alway.
Yet who thus looking backward DER his years,
Feels not his eyelids wet with greatful tears,
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful rs he was,
To cheer and aid, in some ennobling cause,
His fellow-men!
If he hath hidden the outcast, or let in
A ray of sunshine to the cell OF sin
Ifhe hath lent
Strength to the weak, and, in an hour of need,
Over the suffering. mindless of his creed
Or home, hath bent
he has not lived in vain. And while he gives
The praise to Him, in whom he moves and lives.
With thankful heart;
He gazes backward, and with hope before,
Knowing that from his works he nevermore
Can henceforth part.

Angel Glare.

The angels flying through the air
Saw my little baby, Glare,
Saw that she was very fair,
And then pausing, whispered there:
"Sisters, we must set her free,

But heard their whispers low,

That could not let her go;

Ever close I held her, pressed.
