his sweetheart Scared with smallpox,
al. her beauty gone. ''You are free,
she said, go marry whom you please.
l cannot houorablY ask you to fulfil a
promise made under such different cir
cumstauces. - Wellington answered that
the change disease had effected made no
difference to him. He wss as devoted to
her as ever and desired her to become
his wife. They were married and lived
happily. Yet Wellington was capable of
going Gstray, and army traditions in
England tell of fair Spaniard who fol-
lowed him in the Peninsula and after
ward took up her residence in London.
She is said to have been the daughter OF
n Spanish marquis, who, impoverished
by the French invasion, committed sui
eide, commencing his only child to the
care of the British.
THE IRON DUKE WAS KIND TO THE GIRL
and their relations for many years are
supposed to have been more than
friendly.
The affair OF Sir Charles Dixie, the
noted Liberal leader, is so recent that 1t
is probably within the recollection of
most newspaper readers. The charges,
which were substantiated to the salts
faction of jury, involved grave dis
honor and breach of friendly confidence,
the lady IN the case being Il near init
mate of the family. Sir Charles Dixie,
concluded, af,er,the trial, to retire for
time for politics. He has made an oc-
casional speech now and then; but his
influence is inappreciable compar ed with
what it used TO be. In England, as in
this country, few concern themselves
with the private follies of public men,
unless those foilies get into the courts.
Then the case is different and the often
der becomes the target for every news
paper and every platform.

OLD AGE,

When the happy days of youth have fed,
Its budding flowers their blooms have shed,
Air castles demolished, DAY dreams have flown
And ell its sunny pleasures gone.
Middle age. too, has passed away,
Old age realains, alone and gray.
How pleasant then, at days decline,
To listen to the bells sweet chime;
To sit and watch the sunsets glow!
Waiting the Masters call to go.
Waiting to meet those gone before,
Beyond that bright and peaceful shore.
Nothing to do on earth below,
Till the Masters summons come to 60;
TO pass beyond that pearly gatei
Nothing to do but watch and wait.
Like an uncaged bird the spirit flies,
Along its pathway to the skies.

reply.
Another story the artist told was one
which he said he had himself told Lin
coin and which he had used on several
occasions, on two of which he had been
interrupted before he got to the point,
"and," said the artist, "if there was
anything which annoyed Mr.. Lincoln it
was this. 1t caused him to always re-
member the man from whom he got the
story. The story was of Missouri man
who went to a stable to get horse to
take him to a convention to which he
was going rs IA delegate with a hope of
nomination.
The stable keeper was of different
political persuasion, and gave him a
horse which he calculated would break
down before he got there. His calcula-
tions proved true, and the man lost the
nomination. On his return to the stable
the disappointed Missourian asked the
stableman if he was training that horse
for a hearse. The man said: "Kinder
guessed he wasn't" "Well," said the
man, IF you are he'll never do it, for
he wouldn't get corpse to the cemetery
in time for the resurrection"

Something That wouldn't Hurt.

One night during fracas in Wash
ington an officer of the District of Co
lumbia interfered to quell it. He threat
ened to arrest a bully and the man struck
at him. The officer parted the blow and
then gave his antagonist such blow
under the chin that it felled him at once,
and the man was taken away in q sup
posed dying condition. a
The officer, very much troubled at the
situation, went to Mr.. Lincoln for conso-
lation. Lincoln promised to stand by
him, but gave him this bit of parting
advice: Hereafter, when you strike a
man, don't hit him with your fist. Strike
him with club, or a crowbar, or with
something that won't kill"

The son of the farmer who owned the
field came along one day and moved the
crooked log so the elbow was in the field
and both ends out. The SOW entered the
log as usual, grunting with satisfaction,
followed by her pigs. When she came
out and found herself on the same side
she was nonplused, and for hours she
ran through the log expecting to find a
way into the field, but always landing on
the same side, the outside. Gentlemen'-
But the delegation were convulsed with
laughter and departed.
At another time several men wanted
to know why the president did not put
down the rebellion at once. He replied:
"a man dreamed one night that he saw
a giant walking in the forest, SO tall his
head, reached to the branches of the
trees, and his arms stretched far and
wide. When the giant passed n small
man as unnaturally diminutive in size rs
the giant was large came along in the
forest and asked in a small, squeaking
voice if the big giant had been seen, that
he wanted to catch him." The point was
seen, and the small, squeaking men fled
out satisfied with Mr. Lincoln's reply.

FORGOT FOR THE TIME HIS ABSORBING
AFFAIRS.

One day Mr.. Lincoln told how, when
running" as he termed it, his grocery
store at Salem, near Springfield, he got
his first taste for law. A farmer drove
up with broken down horse and a
wagon filled with household "plunder,"
and asked him what he would give "fur
the hull load" Lincoln looked over the
lot of old pots, pans, kettles and stuff,
and gave him half dollar. The man
went off and Lincoln stored the stuff.
Some weeks after the purchase Lincoln
had occasion to use one of the barrels,
which were filled with some of the old
struck" bought in the fifty cent pur-
chase, and as he turned out the contents
of one of them, under the old rusty pans
dilapidated copy of "Blackstones Com
mentaries" came to light. Lincoln eyed
it curiously and laid it aside.

At the famous peace conference that
took place in February, 1865, between
Mr.. Lincoln and distinguished Confeder-
ates, Mr.. Hunter urged Mr.. Lincoln to
make peace recognizing the Confederacy.
In support of Mr.. Lincoln's right to do
so, Hunter instanced the case of Charles
of England and his rebellious parlia-
ment. To this Mr.. Lincoln replied: son
the question of history must. refer you
to Mr.. Seward, who is posted in such
matters. / don't pretend to be; but
have tolerably distinct recollection, in
the case you refer to, that Charles lost
his head, and have no head to spare"

Two Stories of Lincoln Told by Artist A.

Two Stories of Lincoln Told by Artist A.
j. COnant.
Mr.. a. j. Conart, the artist, has given
some interesting "reminiscences of Lin
coin gathered while Lincoln was sitting
to him for his portrait. The first time
Mr.. Conant visited Mr.. Lincoln for this
purpose he found the expression upon his
face quite the reverse of the melancholy
and serious one he had supposed he
wore. 1t was so bright, animated and
genial that Mr.. Conant at once made up
his mind to depict it if he could. With
this in view it was his custom to tell
humorous stories, which, when they
touched Mr.. Lincoln's fancy, made him
forget for the time his absorbing affairs.
