Another Lincoln Anecdote.

Mr. LincOln's nearest friends used to
tell of his romantic attachment fOI
Miss Ann Rutledge, and say that had
she lived to be his wife he would new
er have sought political life. His
tastes were quiet and domestic. But
this trial unhinged him, made him for
years reckless, despairing, atheistic.
1t was very gradual that he came to
conquer the revolt of his own soul. 1t
was that work well done that fitted
him to conquer other men.
Mr. LincOIn's most intimate friend
was his law partner, William II. Hern-
don, or, rs he used to call him, "Billy
HerndOn." For more than twenty five
years they were partners, but never
kept a separate account, held each 9th
er's money AS they held their own, and
never suspected or experienced wrong,
never had II misunderstanding or a
grievance. When Mr.. Lincoln was
about to leave for Washington, he
went to the dingy little law office which
had sheltered his saddest hours. He
sat down on the couch. "Billy," said
he, "yOu and have been together all
these years, and have never passed a
word Will you let my name stay on
the old sign till ! come back from
Mr.. HerndOn's eyes. He put out his
hand. "Mr. Lincoln" said he, al will
never have any other partner while
yOu live" and to the day of the assas-
sination all the doings of the firm were
in the name of Lincoln & Herndon.-

Civilization Alone Inadequate to

while discoursing to a delighted audi
ence on the Importance of ditfusing the
blessings of civilization and the Cos
pei, the paper collar he wore on his
neck irritated him. Attempting to ad-
just it, the button hole broke, and he
burst out with the exclamation, "Away
with this spurious civilization !" and
suiting his action to his words, he tore
off his clothing and stood before his
audience nntramelled by civilized
adornments
have no means of testing the truth
of this story, but it is in perfect har-
mOny with cases which have come I'M

and most striking instance of the kind
will mention. About eighteen years
ago, little Zulu boy named Palm
came to me for instruction. AS he was

The Epidemic Of Crime.

Whence comes this epidemic of sui
cides and murdersf Recent Discus
sions have named several causes. Hon.
&. H. Reeve, Of Indiana, charges it to
infidel teachings-holding that hope
lessness of future state cripples forti-
tude for bearing life's ills. Another
declares suffering from the universal
business depression the cause. A third
writer attributes it to increasing insani-
ty, physician thinks much of the
tendency is inherited, while temper
ance advocates lay the responsibility
upon strong drink.
Free-thinkers have committed suicide
but SO have orthodox churchmen. FL
nancial straits have beset many, but
the wealthy have also taken their life.
Insanity and dissipation have pro-
ceeded suicides and family murders.
One feature common to almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
nigh every report Of suicide and family
murder mentions the perpetrater as
having ''for some time been subject to
melancholy" Whence comes this?
All recognized medical authorities tell
US that the fire which consumes the
brain is always kindled by derauge-
ments of digestion; that good digestion
is impossible without pure blood. and
pure blood Is never known when the
liver and kidneys are out of order.
Under snch circumstances, preventive
should be sought, and for this Warner S
safe cure is sovereign-a fact conceded
by the best authorities IN the land, and
it is especially commended by the cele-
brated DR.. Dio Lewis.-Rochester Dem.

CURED BY FAITH.
Young Lady in Ohio Given up bv tho
Doctors L. Restored by Prayer.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Sept, 21.-At Ne
vada, Ohio, Miss Ella Belts, aged eighteen, the
beautiful daughter Of one OF the most promi-
nent families, has Just been marvelously re-
stored to health from what appeared to be a
dying pillow, and believers in the Christian re-
ligion are claiming 1t as q prayer cure. The Sc
are the facts: Three months ago che began
TO feel and show symptoms Of pulmonary con-
sumption, which is hereditary In the family,
and fortnight since went to bed, as It was
supposed, to die. She refused all religious
ministration, although apparently but few
days from death, until Sunday, the 18th inst,
when she told her mother she would like TO see
minister. The pastor of The Presbyterian
church thereupon made two or three visits,
when Miss Belts asked to be taken
into the church. Her spiritual frame
seeming to him to be suitable he
promised to comply with her request
which WAS done last Sunday afternoon. This
weakened her greatly, and when her spiritual
advisors left 1t seemed impossible for her to
survive the night. For three hours she lay
with eyes closed, breathing a constant prayer,
Obvious 10 surroundings. About midnight
she called her mother and said that she was
saved; that Christ had saved her father and
her also. She asked for a chair, arose, walked
few steps and sat down, stating that she was
cured. Shortly after she dressed herself, went
into the psrlor, seated herself at the organ and
commenced playing softly. All this time she
appeared TO grow stronger. and at a. m.
called her father up TO breakfast. At 7o'ciock
Monday morning the minister called, when
she told him she WAS feeling as well as ever,
only little tired, aud that she should be in
church next Sunday TO hear him preach. To
all who calls she tells the same story, and sp-
parently IS perfectly cured.
