Keep Your Word.

A story told of gentlemsn Who visited
President Lincoln, and was in the habit
of making promises more freely than he
kept them. In order to induce one of Mr.
Lincoln's boys to sit on his lap, the gen.
tlemrn offered to give him charm which
he wore on his wstch-chaiu. The boy
climbed into hi lap. Finally the gentle
man rose to go, when Mr.. Lincoln said to
him "Are you rot going to keep your pre-
mise to my boy?" What promise?" said
the visitor. "You said you would give
him charm" ''Oh l could no." said
the visitor. at is not only valuable. but
l prive 1t as an heirloom" Give 1t to
him. said Mr.. Lincoln sternly. Il would
not want him to know that entertained
one who had no regard for his word. y
The gentleman colored. undid the charm
and handed 1t to the boy, and went away
with . lesson which he was not likely
soon to forget, and which other may pro
at by learning.
Be slow to promise, but never fail t
perform promise which you have made
