that there was no hope, and there was no

A STORY OF LINCOLN.

A Remarkable Parsonage at the White
House--A Very Comical Sequel.
One day man of remarkable appearances
presented himself at the White House and
requested an audience with Mr.. Lincoln. He
was a large, heshE man, of stern but homey
countenance, and of a solemn and dignified
carriage He was dressed in a neatly fitting
swallow tail coat, ruffled shirt Of faultless
fabric, white cravat and orange colored
gloves. An immense fob chain, to which
was attached huge topaz seal, swung from
his watch pocket, and he carried a large gold
headed cane. His whole appearance was that
of a man Of great intellect of stern qualities,
of strong piety and of dignified uncomeliness.
81 am in for it now,n thought the presi-
dent "This pious man means business. He
is no common preacher Evidently his
gloomy mind is big with a scheme Of no ordi-
nary kind The ceremony of introduction
was unusually formal and the few words Of
conversation that followed were constrained.
The good man spoke with great deliberation.
as if feeling his way cautiously, but the evil
dent restraint which his manner imposed upon
Mr. Lincoln seemed not to please him. The
sequel was amazing
Quitting his chair the portly visitor eI-
ended his hand to Mr.. Lincoln, saying, as
the latter rose and confronted him: well,
Mr.. President, have no business with you;
none whatever. / was at the Chicago con-
vention as a friend of Mr.. Seward / have
watched you narrowly ever since your in
auguration and called merely TO pay my
respects What | want to say is this:
think you are doing everything for the good
of the country that is in the power of man t0
do You are on the right track. As one oi
your constituents now say to you, do ~
future as you d---n please, and will sup
port youl" This was spoken with trenen
dous effect
'Why,n said Mr. Lincoln, in great aston
ishment, II took you to be preacher.
thought you had come here to tell ME how Il
take Richmond" And he again grasped tn
hand of his strange visitor. Accurate AM
penetrating as Mr.. Lincoln's Judgment wa
concerning men, for once he had been who'll
mistaken. The scene was comical in the eS
treme. The two men stood gazing at eac
other. A smile broke from the lips Of til
solemn wag and rippled over the wide el
panse of his homely face like sunlight owe
spreading continent, and Mr. Lincoln VIZ
.onvulsed with laughter
''Sit down, my friend, said the presiden
''sit down. l am delighted to see you. Lunc
with us today Yes, you must stay an
lunch with us my friend, for have not see
enough of you yeti The stranger did lunc
with Mr.. Lincoln that day. He was ma
Of rare and racy humor, and the good chee
the wit, the anecdotes and sparkling conve
sation that enlivsned the scene was the wol

The Importance Of SELF co,tro,.


An expert and experienced official in an in
sane asylum said to us little time since that
these institutions are filled with people who
have given up to their feelings, and that no
one is quite safe from an insane asylum who
allows himself to give up to his feelings, The
Importance of this fact is too little appre-
riated, especially by teachers We are al
ways talking about the negative virtues Of
discipline, but we rarely speak Of the posi-
tive virtues. We discipline the schools to
keep the children from mischief, to maintain
good order, to have things quiet, 10 enable
the children to study We say, and say
