But scenes SO delightfully."- rural

Have all fewer victims, ween,
Than daily and hourly are slain by

Consumption may gather its thousands;
Malarial, too, is foe;
Pneumonia can do its work neatly,
And Bright's disease seldom is slow.
But out in the wheat and the oat fields
A slaughter devil we find.
That loves to run over poor mortals,
Their bodies to reap and to bind.
The sea has its dangers, undoubted,
And many are those Of the land;
As men become plenty, their perils
Increase upon every hand.
Quite fatal the drop of the scaffold,
Where halters are stretched by the law :
But worse, and more deadly, the shed roof
That shelters the circular saw.
You may talk as you please Of your sun

Ofsmall-pox and cholera scares,
Of dynamite's dreadful explosions
All these are but feeble affairs.

The worst you ever have seen,
Come out to the beautiful country,
And wait for the threshing machine.

Several of the lawyers put down sums

The paper was presented to Lincoln,

coin took out his pencil and wrote
upon the paper "I have nothing to
