To one abstruse conundrum much serious
thought give:
Why is it that all the good men die, and
all the bad ones live?
Or why is it we never knew our neighbor's
rare projections
Till his last will and testament is read to
his connections?
Alb, then the daily papers spread his vir-
tues all abroad
They say he was an honest map-the
noblest work of God ~
How good he was how wise he was, how
honest IN his dealings;
What tenderness of heart he had, and
what depth Of feeling
Perhaps the man was one of those, alb,
would that they were fewer;
Who all his life ground hard and close
the faces of the poor
Who drove the debtors to despair by pre-
mature foreclosure,
Then paid his pew rent in advance with
infinite composure,
Perhaps he was the lordly head of some
unhappy place
Called home, by use Of courtesy, but lack
ing all its grace,
Who held his children criminals for every
trifine error;
Who pinched his household half to death
and kept his wife in terror.
Perhaps he was lawyer deep, whose
quibbling tricks and words
Helped base executors to rob poor widows
of their thirds;
Perhaps a thrifty grocer man, whose
wheedling false palaver
Sold toughest steak for porterhouse, and
chicory for Java.
Any of these he might have been-the
types are nowise rare
But when he dies, behold, we passed an
angel unaware
Since type and tongue proclaim bis worth,
what cynic shall dispute them
"Many there be who meet the gods" we
read, "but few salute them"
Why don't the papers say fine things of
men before they die,
And indicate these sanity souls ere yet
they soar on high?
Then we might recognize them ere grim
death and cold destruction
Have made it quite impossible to get an
Introduction.
All, well, perhaps, when ! at last beneath
my burden faint,
I, too, shall win the titles Of a paragon and
saint,
And be, when deaths cold breath has
blown aside life's dust and soiling,
A grain of that superior salt which keeps
the world from spelling.

who are your friends, or these who
are Indifferent to you.
There is no difference between
knowledge and temperance; tor he
who knows what is good and embraces
it, who knows what is bad and avoids
it, is learned and temperate.
Through zeal knowledge is gotten;
through lack of zeal knowledge is lost;
let man who knows this double path
Of gain and loss thus place himself
that knowledge may grow.
Though the good may have little
wealth, yet it is useful to all, like the
water of a well. The selfish may
have much wealth, but like the water
of the sea, it quenehes the thirst Of

The roses of pleasure seldom last

INTEREST ON KISSES

en- her dear face. Beside you owe
her kiss or two. Away back when
you we're little girl she kissed YOU
when no one else was tempted by
your fever-tainted breath and swollen
face. You were not attractive then
as you are now. And through those
years of childish sunshine and shad-
ows she was always ready to cure BY
the magic Of a mothers kiss, the
little, dirty, chubby hands, whenever
they we're injured in those first Skin
mishes with the rough old world.
And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad dreams
as she leaned above your restless pill
low, have all been on interest these
long, long years. OF course she is.
not SO pretty and kissable as you are
but if you had done your share Of
work during the last ten years. the
contrast would not be so marked
Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, far more, and yet if you were
sick that face would appear more
beautiful than an angels as it hover
ed over you, Watching every oppOr-
tunity to minister to your comfort.
and every one Of those wrinkles would
seem to be wavelets of bright ann

The following interesting scrap Of

lieved, for the first time:
"When the opposition to the extern

self the most talented aud dangerous
enemy the rising spirit of universal
libertyhad to overthrow. Insthe person
Of Stephen A Douglas the South and
slavery extension had giant indeed
to fight their battlesin the very strong
holds of liberty. In 1858 new SEN
ator was to be elected from this State,
and Douglas was put forward as the
candidate Of the squatter sovereignty
Democracy. The leaders Of the newly
formed Republican party instinctively
turned to odd Abe as the fittest man
in the State TO contest the position with
him and he was sent for to meet few
prominen men in Chicago to arrange
the conduct of the campaign and de-
eide upon the proper course to be pur-
sued in the inevitable debate in pros
pect. The meeting took place at the
old fremont House, and very full
attendance of the principal business
men of the city and State was secured.
at will be remembered that Doug
las and Buchanan greatly differed 10
their views of the Democratic doe
triDe and policy, and after much de-
bate it was the general sense of the
meeting that, as Buchanaa was the
head of the Democratic party, his
views should be regarded as the true
Democratic doctrine, and hence In the
coming contest Mr.. Douglas should be
held responsible for them. And the
debate should be conducted in opposi-
ton to these sentiments in utter dis
regard of the fact that Douglas repu-
dated them, and hence could not in
fact or in justice be regarded as hold
ing them. After much talk had gone
round, Mr.. Lincoln was called upon
to give his views of the matter. Tt
is impossible now to quote his exact
language or give any correct state
ment of the indescribable manner of
the man as he slowly elevated his
towering frame above his fellows who
filed the hall. We can only give the
general substance OF the address:

on the terrace in front of the statue
