IINooLn,, MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature nnd III
Early IHlbForIunea

E1FIy MtnkDrttanoA
Those who saw much OF Abraham
Lincoln during the later years Of bis life
were greatly impressed with the ex-
preston of profound melancholy his face
always wore in repose.
Mr.. Lincoln wac Of peculiarly sympa-
thetic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics Influenced, very happily
as II proved, his entire political career.
They would not seem, at first glance, to
be efficient aids TO political unocess; but
in the peculiar emergency which Lincoln,
in the providence of God, was called to
meet, no vessel of common clay could
possibly have become the "ohosen OF the
Lerd.n
Those acquainted with him from boy
hood knew thst early griefs tinged his
whole life with sadness. His partner in
the grocery business ct Salem, was
"Upcle" Billy Green of TalIula, ILL.,, who
used at night, when the customers were
few, to hold the grammar while Lincoln
recited his lessons.
II was TO his Bympathetio ear Lincoln
told the story Of his love for sweet Ann
Ruelidge; and ne, in turn, offered what
comfort he could when poor Ann died,
and Lincoln's great heart nearly broke.
After Ann died y says ''Uncle" Billy,
''on stormy nights, when the wind blew
the rain against the roof, Abe would act
thar in the grocery, his elbows on his
knees, his face in his hands, and the
tears runnin' through his tingers. l
hated to see him feel bad, an I'd say.
Abe don't cry;' an he'd look up an
say j can't help it Biz, the rains fallin'
on herr
There are many who can sympathize
with Ibis ovsrpowerlng grief, as they
think OF lost loved ono, when "the
rains fsllin' GU her," What adds
to the grief some times is the
thought that the lost one might have been
saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William johnson
OF Corona, H. T., builder, who writes
June 2Sth, 1890: "Last February, on
returning from church one night. my
daughter complained of having a pain ia
her ankle. The pnin gradually extended
until her entire limb was swollen and
very painful &c the touch. We called a
physician, who after careful examination,
pronounced i disease of the Kidneys OF
long standing. All we could do did not
seem to benefit her until we tried War
neF's sBfe Care; from the FIRST she COM
nenced TO improve. When she com
nencad taking it she could not turn over
"a bed, and could just move her hands a
little, but TO day she ia as we'll ga she ever |
vas. bslieve owe the reooy cry Of my
laughter to Its use.n

Ihe real ASimus OF the senatorial fag's

whom are Republicans. They arrest the
disorderly negroes and upon their test.
mony Judge Ball convicts them, IL the
negroes were not disorderly tho police
would moi arrest them, and II the nollce
did NOT arrest them Judge Ball would NOT

consider themselves more the object OF

been discussing the matter quite vigorously
and protest that III they refrain from arrest
ing dieordery negroes the city Will soon be
IN iine condition of ldwlessness. Some
of the remarks made by several policemen
