Being young,-he was only thirty-one,-
and full of life, energy and hope, it was a
very natural thing for him to turn from the
thwarted desires, to the future which
seemed to promise so much happiness.
To be sure he knew, as we all know, that
everything future must be uncertain; that
tomorrow might bring him pain instead of
pleasure, and trouble instead of solace.
Reason and observation had taught him
that; yet what man is content to confne his
thoughts to actual facts and real events?
On the contrary, who of us has not, in i'm
aglnation, walked many times over every
mile of his future life journey. We have
plucked luscious fruits in beautiful gardens
we have reclined at noontide in delicious
shade, and have slaked our thirst at many a
b1bbling spring. We have climbed lofty
hills, too, from whose SUBMITS we have
caught, now and then, in the blue distance
glimpse of still more delectable land.
We all do this. 1t is the best part of our in
heritance from grandfather Adam. Our past
may have been full of sin and misery; our
present may be burdened with care and OPP
pressed with remorse; but, in the future, we
may be free from all care and may escape
from all sir. 1t is certain that we shall all
be rich and happy then; and that glorious
time is so near, too. Why, we can almost
grasp it with our hands. If our longings
could only crystalline into realities,-but
alas! when we attempt to reach them to in
corporate them into our life, we come to
many deep and murky stream, across
which there is neither ford nor bridge, or we
meet hungry lions in the way, which glare
at us in such bloodthirsty manner, and
which roar SO terribly, that We betake our
selves, with blanched faces and palpitating
hearts, to some obscure cross-road, hoping
that we may thereby be brought safely to

LincOln's Assassin.

Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Lincoln, il
will be remembered, died in barn in Mary
land, from a wound received from the mus
ket OF Boston Corbett. His body was brought
to Washington, and after having been iden-
titled by the court-martial before which his
fellow-conspirators were tried, was dissected
by the surgeon-general of the army. The
brain and heart and some other parts of the
body were preserved in alcohol, and are now
on exhibition in the medical museum of the
surgeon generals Office. The building in
which the assassination occurred was Ford's
theater The government confscated it, but
afterward Ford was paid its full value, and
it has since been used as the headquarters
of the medical corps of the army. The brain
and heart of Booth are in jars, standing in a
case that is situated very near the actual
scene of the assassination. After the sur
geon had done with Booths body it was
buried in a grave in the arsenal grounds.
Only half dozen persons knew the exact
spot which was unmarked. In 1867 Edwin
Booth, the actor, sent Mr.. Weaver, the sex
ton of Christ church, Baltimore, to Wash
ington, with the request that the remains of
his brother might be taken up and removed
to the family burial place. After some delay
the request was granted by President John
son, who was finally appealed to, and Mr..
Weaver took the body to the cemetery in
Baltimore, and buried it beside the elder
Booth and others of the family. The re-
moval was conducted with great secrecy,
and was concealed from Secretary Stanton,
who had refused to give his consent.

UngOyerned Territory,

By an accident in locating boundary lines,
it is alleged, bit of Uncle Sans territory
comprising 3,Sl0000 acres is included in no
state or territory, and is in effect without
legal form, and void. The Commissioner of
Public Lands has made the discovery, and it
is this unfettered region that he recommends
be surveyed and brought under national ju-
risdiction. The strip of country is in the
form of a parallelogram and borders on
Texas, Colorado Kansas, Indian Territory,
and New Mexico. 1t is said to be well
adapted for agriculture, and especially for
grazing. At present it has no government,
no courts, nothing but cattle and their keep
pers. The latter are law unto themselves,
and terror to the people of the adjacent
territories, who in turn, are regarded much
in the light of cut-throats by civilized com
munities. The public lands commissioner
recommends the attaching of this hitherto
unknown country to New Mexico, and that
its inhabitants be brought under the laws OF
that territory. This plan does not contem-
plate too great rapidity in civilizing the new
region, but as rapid, perhaps, as the condi-
tions will admit.

A Fearful Picture.

But now the struggle is over, can sur
vey the field and measure the losses. | had
position high and holy. The drink demon
tore from around me the robes of my sacred
office and sent me forth churchless and god
less, very Kissing and by-word among men.
Afterward had business large and lucra-
tive, and my voice in all large courts was
R a e eaaag gt f sEffta e Oh yy ab BGaa
books, and no football crossed the thresh-
old of the drunkard's office. l had moneys,
ample for all necessities, but they took wings
to feed the Golfers of the devil that pos
sessed me. ] had home adorned with all
that wealth and exquisite taste could sug-
gest. This devil crossed the threshold, and
the light faded from its chambers; the light
went out on the hottest of affairs, and, lead
ing me through its portals, despair walked
forth with her, and sorrow and anguish lin
gered within. | had children, beautiful as
dream of morning. and they had so en-
twined themselves around their fathers
heart that no matter where it might wander,
ever it came back to them on the bright
wings of fathers undying love. The de-
stroyer took their hands in his and led them
away. had wife whose charms of mind
and person were such that to see her was to
remember, and to know her was TO love.
For thirteen years we walked the rugged
path of life together, rejoicing in its sun
shine and sorrowing in its shade. This in
fernal monster couldn't spare me even this.
| had mother who for long, long years had
not left her chair, victim of suffering and
disease, and her choicest delight was in the
reflection that the lesson which she had
taught at her knee had taken root in the
heart of her youngest born, and that he was
useful to his fellows and an honor to her
who bore him. But the thunderbolt reached
even there, and there it did its most cruel
work. Other days may cure all but this.
All, me never word of reproach from her
lips; only tender caress only shadow of
great and unspoken grief gathering over
the dear old face; only trembling hand
laid more lovingly on my head; only
closer clinging to the cross; only piteous
appeal to heaven if her cup at last were not
fun. And while her boy raved in his wild
delirium two thousand miles away, the pity
ing angels pushed the golden gates ajar, and
the mother of the drunkard entered into
rest. And thus stand, clergyman with
out cure; barrister without a brief or
business father without a child ;sa hus-
band without wife, a son without pa
rent a man without hope, all swallowed
up in the Maelstrom of drink j. Talbot.
