MIR. Lincoln and a Clergyman.

At the semi-annual meeting of the
New Jersey Historical Society, held
last week in Newark, N. J., Rev. DR.
Sheldon, of Princeton, read memorial
of their late President, Rev. r. K.
Rodgers, D. D., in which appears the
following fresh incident concerning Mr..
Lincoln and the war: zone day during
the war, DR.. Rogers was called on by a
man in his congregation, who, in the
greatest distress, told him that his son,
soldier in the army, had just been
sentenced to be shot for desertion, and
begged the minister's interposition.
The doctor went to Washington with
the wife and infant child of the con-
demned man, and sent his card up to
Mr.. Lincoln. When admitted, the
President said, You are minister, I
believe. What can I do for you my
friend?' The reply was: "A young
man from my congregation in the army
has SO tar forgotten his duty to his
country and his God as to desert his
colors, and is sentenced to die. [ have
come to ask you to spare him. With
characteristic quaintness the President
replied, Then you don't want him
hurt, do youY oh, no. said the petit
toner, did not mean that; he deserves
punishment, but beg for him time to
prepare to meet his God DO you say
he has father, wife and child? said Mr..
Lincoln. Yes Where do you say he
is?' On being told, he turned to his
secretary, said q few words in an under
tone, of which that official made note,
and added to DR.. Rodgers, You have
your request. Tell his friends I have
reprieved him. With God bless
you, Mr.. President DR.. Rodgers turned
away to bear the glad news to the dis
tressed family"

'FilImOre's DOughnuts.

When Willard Fillmore was Vice
President he received from an old
friend in the country box of honey
and barrel of -four, and in his letter
of thanks said with simplicity: "The
honey is uncommonly fine, and its pure
sweetness enhanced by the thought
that no life of the little industrious in
sects "a splendid pattern for man in his
highest condition to follow-was sacri-
feed or endangered by depriving them
of this portion of their precious hoard.
The barrel of -four has been duly in
spected and pronounced of the first
quality. You should see the dough
nuts my favorite cakes-which my
wife, who prides herself in making, Las
made out of this -four. They would
make the mouth of an epicure water"

A Funeral Notice.

A man came into the Derrick office
yesterday who had the unmistakable inn
print of backwoodsman, and, inquir-
ing for the editor, pulled up chair and
sat down.
give come," said he, "to git you to
print notice of funeral that we'uns
had outen our way"
Cali right" was the answer, "what do
you want pubished?"
IT jist writ down a few notes here,
what I'll read to you'un while you put
'em in shape. Jim Smith died of the
fever last week-bein' much respected
in the neighborhood-a large and re-
spectacle audience turned out"
We began to suspect that the old
fellow had got hold of press notice of
some entertainment.
-" TO witness the performance. The
eulogy was spoken by the Rev. Sny-
deker, who performed his part to per-
lection, bringing tears to the eyes of
many, and when he retired was greeted
with an n-kore-"
The old man hesitated at that word
for moment, and then said: "I don't
know as how that's right or not, but
Sally said it was good word, anyhow,
an SO put it down. Then go on an
say somethin' consolin' about the last
of the arth, an I tho't as how you'd
better wind up somethin' like this:
There was an immense crowd present,
the affair passed off pleasantly, and
every one seemed to enjoy them
selves" -DerTicE.

DIAMONDS UNEARTHED.

WOMEN do not like to remember !;
men do not like to foresee.
ONE talent, we'll cultivated, deepened
and enlarged, is worth hundred shall
low faculties.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character; you must hammer and forge
yourself one.
Love is the strongest and most arbi-
trary moral power. Love forgives, but
never excuses.
IF tree has not blossomed in the
spring you will vainly look for fruit on
it in the autumn.
BY their fickleness women escape
much misery. Birds save themselves
only with their wings.
No MAN ever offended his own con-
science but, first or last, it was re-
venged on him for it-South.
No CHARACTER is complete that has
not some mental treasures on which it
may draw during the treachery of fort
use.
A GOOD man is as priest and min
lister of the gods; devoted to that divin-
ity which hath it's dwelling within him.
Marcus.
CROWD is no company; mems faces
are but Like pictures in gallery, and
talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there
is no love.
A MAN seldom shows improvement
until he has found himself; and, in this
sense, if in no other, the majority of
mankind are lost.
HEARTS have windows. They should
be kept open at all times, that the glad
sunshine of all that is true and beauti-
full in this life may enter and abide
therein.
Pity with it's crystal drops is sweet
ening many cup of life. And, in re-
turn, many a grateful heart is laying on
the palm of pity the choicest gems of
gratitude.
GOOD resolutions are an honor to
every heart that may form them. But
that honor takes to itself a new luster
and that heart is nobler still when these
resolutions are not broken.
IT is the narrow-edged men-the men
Of single and intense purpose, who steel
their souls against all things else-who
accomplish the hard work of the world,
and who are everywhere in demand
when hard work is to be done.

Rather a Nice Man. Rut


Il say, Charley" said a young swell
the other day, GIVE struck new sort of
prospective father-in-law. You see, I
got mashed, terribly mashed, on little
one, and she asked me to call. So I
went down the other evening. The
governor came to the door, and thought
it was all up with me. Expected the
traditional boot, you know; but he was
very gentlemanly, asked me into his IL
brary, chatted on politics and trade, set
up the cigars, had bottle of wine
opened. and did me proud. Invited me
to call again, too. But hang me if
had chance to set eyes on the girl.
Singular. wasn't it?"-NeU Haveaa

Ford, at the end, and blown, that the
shell might be preserved, when it was
discovered that there was inclosed with
in the outer shell a second egg, two
thirds as large as the first, with shell
much harder. That was also punctured
and the contents drawn, which showed
it to be a perfect egg. The outside egg
contained no yelk, holding only the al
bumen in which the inner egg was in
closed. Mr.. Ford has now an egg with
in an egg, which is as puzzling to hen
fanciers as the question whether the
egg preceded the hen, or the hen the

clubs. Was there ever like phenome-
non before?

Stimulants Used by the Race.

It is estimated that coffee, both beans
and leaves, is drank by 100000 of the
human family. Tea of all kinds is used
by 5O0,0OO,OOO and opium by 100000
OO0; alcohol, in its various forms, by
.500,OO0,000 of the human race. To-
bacco is probably used by at least 7OO,-
100000 or SOO,OOO,O00. These startling
facts indicate large proportion of the
race using some substances that are Ell
Their stimulants or narcotics. The work
of the Psychologist, in the future, will
be to determine the true place in ma
ture of these substances, and indi-
cate where their use ends and abuse
begins.

SPRING.
by HATTIE E. s. CREssY.

The birds are singing,
The grass is sprlnging
Up from its wintry bed,
The south wind blows,
The brooklet flows,
And the sky is blue o'erhead.
The budding trees
Nod to the breeze,
In grateful kind of way;
The insects creep,
And the biz ating sheep
Make music all the day.
Down in the boys,
The noisy frogs,
Are making great harangue;
"Ker thug one goes,
He's the king l s'pose,
And never Jollier sang.
Down by the stream,
In the sunligtt's CLEAN,
The fisherman lowers his bait,
smile and smirk,
twitch and jerk.
And the poor fish knows it's fate.
The violet and daffodil
With perfume the garden fill,
But far gaudier flowers will grow
And the rose and eglantine
Will around the trillis Irvine
In the coming summers glow.
till flowers of spring
A thrill will bring,
When later ones would fail;
In this northern cline,
The sweet spring time
With Joy we always hail.
Mass.
