In a recent speech at Rushville,
Ind, Gov. Hendricks said:
"The last conversation that / had
with Mr.. Lincoln is distinctly in my
memory. 1t was at the adjournment
of the special session of the Senate,
about the 10th day of March, 1865,
Before leaving for home, of course, i
called to pay my respects to him. As
our conversation was agreeable, re-
mained some time, aud when | arose
to leave, be said, as he cordially pres
sed and held ny hand, Hendricks,
you are Democrat and have stood by
your party, but my administration has
no reason to complain of you, and it is
perhaps proper here before you leave
that l should say to you that in short
time things will assume a shape across
the river, (pointing out Of the win
dow and across the Potomac), when L
can have a general jubilee" These
were the last words l ever heard him
utter. When | returned home | told
my party friends that we would Soon
be in support of Mr.. Lincoln's admin
istration in its policy towards the
Southern States"

Our troubles spring in great de-

that we must confess that all branches

speculation and the efforts to gain
wealth by other means than by indus
try and economy. We cannot correct
these evils, we cannot get back our

LOST THINGs.-There are a great
many things lost that are found again
and a great many Others that are lost
and never found. There are reputa-
tions lost which cannot be regained /;
there are hopes lost, which come not
again; there are Joys and friendships
lost there are thoughts and talents lost
which are never found. Every man
has at some time lost something,
which he would give the world if it
were his to recover. II may have
been but a single pearl from the thread
Of his friendship, or mere hope OF
his soul, but il was previously dear 10
him and life is sad and dark without
it. The mallest things are often
times the dearest to the heart of man,
as for instance, a little wife, a little
heir, a little fortune, a little home.
What wonder, then, when they are lost
he would give everything he had for
their recovery,

TRUTHFULNESS To CHILDREN.--A par
ent, unlike poet, is not born-he is
made. There are certain things
which he has at once to learn. or he
will have no more influence over his
child than if he were a common strar-
ger. To gain obedience, you must
first set yourself TO deserve it. Wha,-
ever you promise your little one, how
ever small the thing may seem to you
and whatever trouble it costs you,
perform it. Never let the doubt once
enter into that innocent mind that
you say what you do not mean, or
will not act up to what you say.
Make as few prohibiiory laws as you
possibly can, but, once made, keep
them. In what Is granted, as in what
is denied, compel yourself, however
weary. or worried, or impatient, to
administer always evenhanded JUS
lice.

Physically it is one thing, spiritually it

preliuess in relation to women we are

We wrong them and ourselves by the
loose employment of conventional
