in the light afforded by his writings it re-

conjecture that his brilliant mind, spark

lincOln'S Humanity.

| Gen. Slocum, in lecture on the REBEL
ion, said that one obstacle was the leniency
of President Lincoln toward dcserters
Finally the corps commanders had con
sultation, and determined TO stop the par.
don business. He added: ''Shortly after
three men of my command were found
guilty, and in compliance with the agree
ment l determined those men should be
shot before our kind-hearted President
could interfere. At Leesburg there was
no telegraphic connection with Washing
ton, so ordered my men out at O'Clock,
and when the clock struck twelve those
men were shot.
Three or four months passed; Gettys-
burg was fought, the fall Of Vicksburg
had taken place, and was passing through
Washington, and called upon MIR. Lincolr.
AS entered the room, he said: ''General
Slocum, the last time l think heard from
you was in the form of message which
caused ME more pain than almost any in

war. When you were down to Lecsburg
telegraphed to you that il the sentence
Of such a man had not been executed, you
should suspend it until further orders from
me, and you telegraphcd back that the
man had been executed ut twelve O'Clock.
The wife and sister of that man were sit

to open your telegram and read it to

A Mule Feeding ON Gold Notes.

Kellogg, an eccentric individual who
lives in the southern part of the county,
near the Churchill line, where he has =
large number OF horses, and what are sup
posed to be valuable mines, is the owner
OF PEI mule. A few days ago the mule
got b Id of an old coat belonging to its
owner, in which were ten $40 gold notes
and so.ne other papers. 1t searched the
pockets tor tobacco, which it chews with
rs much apparent satisfaction as an old
prospector on short rations, and found the
notes and other valuable papers and sw;.l-
it was doing from distance, could pre-
vent it. 1t was probably the most expen-
sive feed ever in,lulged in by = mule in
yada,-S:!rsr State.

Kitchen Consolation.

o! this baking and brewing,
This boiling and stewing,
And washing OF dishes three times day!
The griddls-cakes turning,
The skimning for churning,
The setting Of tables and clearing away!
What is 1t but weariness,
Work without cheerfuness,
Tho same round of labor day after day?
I'd rather be painting,
Or sewing. or braiding,
Or spending my time in q pleasanter way!
Thus my fancy kept dreaming,
Der the hot dishes steaning,
And wond' ring why I must kitchen fire tend
Till an angels low whispering
Compelled me to listening,
And taught me these household discomforts t
mend.
Is your work not the oldest,
The usefulest, noblest-
In ministering daily to the life God has given?
If the work Is unceasing
OF washing and sweeping,
Remember that orders the first law Of heaven.
Pray what gives more pleasure
Than well-seasOned diunsr,
When tastefnlly served on the family board9
Thank God yon can labor
Can knead, mix and flavor,
And draw pleasant meals from the farmers ricl
hoard
That heartsome delight
At morn, noon, and night,
When the family gathers for chat and good cheer
Then should you be complaining
or work unavailing
That brings Joy to the loved ones each day in the
year?

Lines to 4 Cat.

love thee, cat; love thy pleasant ways;
l love to see thee doing round the house;
love, through all these dreamy summer days
| 10 watch thee circumvent the bashful mouse
love to hear thy calm, contented purr,
Ana stroke thy cOat-sO near, and yet 80 fur,
But love not, when starry night Is come.
To hear thee, cat, with velvet-padded hoof.
Rapid as taps upon the startled drum,
Or summer rain-drops, pattering on the roof
For when thy claws slip from their velvet JACKIE,
Thou art wild Niagara, cat-a cat = racket
Sweet warbler, when the radiant moonlight fall
In mellow splendor on the haunted shed.
on have listened to thy plaintivs wauls
And cursed thee, from my sleep deserted bed
How have wept to hear thy long drawn shout
Maria! OlI-h Maria! Comm Ou-sut o..
Oh, cat ambitiOus! Thou vert born to lead:
Thou art the first in peace, in war, the furs;.
And to provide for each and every need,
Thou never goest sut without thy purrs
And like most human vocalists who sing,
You get your back up, cat. at every thing
Why dost thou rage, vain cat, when sable night,
With "dewy freshness fills the silent air.
WY uoSt tnou climD the roof to yell and fight,
And rip and spit and snort and claw and swear2
Dost thou not blush, sweet cat, whey rosy da wn,
Sees half thy fur clawed out, and one eye gone
Oh, cat, thou would'st not thus disturb the moon
Ito the temperance pledge thou would st but
stick;
Thou would st not fight, unless at some saloon
Thou d Pst get tighter, cat, than any brick,
l know you, cat; see it in your eye;
Full Oft yon take your catniIs on the sly.
20, gentle cat, so from my lap and prowl
Upon the dizzy wood-shed's beetlinx height,
On lofty dOrmer window sit and howl,
And every thing that weareth cat-hair fight.
And will love thee still, for all of that,
Because would not have thee less cat
Yet hear! When midnight pauses in the sky,
Twill arise from sleepless couch of mine,
And guided by thy animated CRY,
And BY thine eyes 80 brilliantly that shine,
will take down my trusty culverin,
And with six pounds Of buckshot fill thy skin.
II is also first on the wood-sled.
