DE MAN.

BE a mani Never doubt or despair,
Though the sun is %o'ercast it is shining some
where,
And still with genial and radiant light
viii dispense the dark clouds and make the
earth bright.
Sunshine and shade, in Gods beautiful plan,
Is always a blessing to him who is a man.
Be a man to yourself, your neighbors, and
strive
By earnest and honest endeavors to thrive:
If thrift follows effort remember the poor,
Neycr turn the beggar unfed from your door.
Be submissive in all things except a wrong,
Against this be stubborn, unyielding and
strong;
Whatever God sends, blessing or ban,
Accept in all kindness and die like n man.

A NEW LINCOLN STORY.
The Advice the Martyr President
Gave Little Oracle BedeIH.

Indianapolis Journal.
~ She says that during the CAM
paign oflSGO her father, who was a staunch
Republican, one day brought home Il
campaign life of Lincoln, containing n
rude portrait of the then unknown man.
The young miss, then ID years old, and
nm ardent Republican in her feelings.
scanned the portrait with deep interest.
and remarked to her mother, He'd look
better if he wore whiskers; | mean to
write and tell him So She was az good
GA her word. She wrote to the Republican
candidate, telling him whoshe was, giving
her opinion rs to his fitness for the PresP
dcncy and as to his personal appearance
as represented by the portrait she had seen.
and added that she thought his appearances
would be improved if he would cultivate
a beard. She ended by asking if he had no
time to answer her letter, to allow his lit
tie girl to answer for him. This was short
ly before the election, and Lincoln must
have been burdened with a thousand wor-
rying thoughts, yet in q little while the
following letter came:,.
"SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Oct. 10. 1867
Miss Gracio Bedell. Ny dear little Miss
Your very agreeable letter is received;
many thanks for it. / regret the necessity
of saying that | KAYE no little girl.
have three sons, one II, one 8, and one
7 years of age; they, with their mother
constitute my whole family. AS to the
whiskers, having never worn any, do you
not think people may call il a piece Of
silly affectation if | should begin wearing
them now2
Your very sincere friend,
A. LINCoLN.n
Hon. 6. w. Patterson, of Westfeld, was
one Of those who accompanied Lincoln
from Springfield to Washington after his
election. On his way, the President elect
asked him If he knew n family bearing tho
name of Bedell. Mr.. Patterson replvine
in the affirmative, Mr.. Lincoln mentioned
that he had received o letter from Il little
girl advising me to wear whiskers, as she
thought II would improve my looks, and
YOU see | have followed her suggestion
When the train reached Westfeld, Mr.
Lincoln made Il short speech from the
platform Of the car. and concluded by saw
ing that he had II little correspondent At
that place named Grace Bedell, and if she
were present he would like to sec her.
The lady SAYS; 81 was present, but the
crowd was 50 great that Ihad neither seen
nor heard the speaker, but a friend helped
me forward, and Mr., Lincoln stepped
down to the platform where l stood, shook
hands and kisscdme saying, as he touched
his beard; You see | let these whiskers
grow for you, Grace shook my hands
again, cordially, and re-entered the car,
and that was the last | ever saw of this
hero and martyr
All this may seem comparatively triv-
ial, yet it is a pretty incident; and serves
to Illustrate the gentleness of Lincoln's
character.
