LINcoLNs MELANCHOLY.

Misfortunes.

HIS Sympathetic Nature and HIS Early
Misfortunes.
Those who saw much of Abraham Lincoln
during tho later years of his life, were great
| ly impressed with the expression OF pro
found melancholy his face always wore Ia
rcpose.
Mr.. Lincoln was Of q peculiarly sympathet-
ic and kindly nature. These strong charac-
teristics influenced, very happily, as 1t
proved, his entire political career. They
would not seem, ut first glance, to DO EN-
cient aids TO political success; 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 ''chosen Of the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early grlefs tinged his whole
life with sadness. His partner in the
grocery business at Salem, was "Uncle"
Billy Green, of Tallula, Ill, who used at
night when the customers were few, to
hold the grammar while Lincoln recited his
| lessons.
1t was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
| the story of his love for sweet Ann Rut-
ledge; and he, in return, offered what COM
| fort he could when poor Ann died, and Lin
coins great heart nearly broke.

ION stormy nights, when the wind blew the
rain against the roof, Abe would set thar in
the grocery, his elbows on his knees, his
face in his hands, and the tears runnin'
through his fingers. l hated to see him feel
bad, an I'd say, Abe don't cry;' an he'd
look up an say 4 can't help it. Bill, the
rains a fallin' on her,"
There are many who can sympathize with
this overpowering grief, as they think OF q
lost loved one, when "the rains fallin' on
her." What adds poignancy to the grief
some times is the thought that the lost one
might have been saved.

Bleeding a Fortune Teller.

From the London Daily Telegraph.
An opulent fortune teller living in tie
fashionable Faubourg Saint German has
been, to use a familiar term, swindled in a
rather remarkable manner by some persons
of her own SEX She weut to the bank the
dav before Yesterday in order to effect there
a deposit of certain bonds and securities
which repre sented a monetary value of
nearly Is, 600 francs, or 1900.
The bank. however, was closed when she
arrived at it's portals. so she returned home,
where she found two elegant ladies--a
their future destiny revealed by the magic
gifts of the fortune teller. The latter at
once put her reticule, containing her bonds
and obligations, on a table. and went into
her bedroom with her hat and gloves. Her
absence from her customers only lasted
about a minute, and teen she returned in
order to begin mystical operations for the
benefit of the strangers. After she had
peered into the dim and distant future, and
foretold the destinies of the mother and
daughter, the two ladies expressed their
satisfaction, paid their fees and withdrew.
Yesterday the foreteller OF fates took up
her reticule and again went to the bank 4
order to make her deposit When she
wanted to produce her bonds, however, she
found that they had all been stolen. and her
thoughts Instantly flashed back to the
mother and daughter, who had undoubt-
edly distracted her securities during her
momentary absence. There was nothing
further to be done but to put the matter In
the hands OF the police, who are engaged
actively in looking for the elegant sAarpers
who 80 badly wanted to have their futures
revealed and their fortunes foretod

The Beggar Weed

here IN South Georgia we have the same
weed, Mole Desmondium," SAYS q writer
in Home and Farm, and it is the champion
leguminous plant given BY nature to this
locality.
1t is vigorous grower. 1t will grow in
all kinds OF soil, AID its deep roots enables it
to grow during all kinds Of seasons. Its
dense foilage affords an excellent ade for
soil, and those acquainted with the cuckle-
burr have good idea as to its habits of
making its appearance in spring. Or, in
other words, 1t begins to appear in early
spring and viii continue till July. Land
here, which has been in beggarweed for
years, was seeded but once.
When stock is turned in a field where
oeggarweed, peas and native grasses are
growing, the beggarweed will be the first
one eaten. Often a horse will quit eating
corn when he Is given an armful of beg
Carved, and horse is no sorry judge OF
something good. Some plants are not liked
by all stock. but this one is refused by none.
When the plants are thin on good ground
they grow very tall-eight to ten feet high
and, Of course, will, in such cases, have a
body too hard for stock.
Three and four feet high and thick is the
best sized crop. Some farmers practice
errly the cutting of stalks back TO about one
foot high and allow them branch out. In
this way they get very satisfactory results
Our farmers should pay more attention to
forage plants that contain a good proper
ton of nutritious matter, aud at the same
time be q renovator of the soil.
L am an advocate of leguminous plants,
or any other that will furnish good nuUri-
tious food for our stock, and at the same

condition, than it was at first. | should like

scribers of this paper, TO give this plant a

The Cabbage w orm.

A. s. Fuller, a most creditable authority
on matters of this kind, says that tar water
will destroy cabbage worms. In Orchard
and Garden it is stated that Mr.. Fuller's
early cabbages were being rapidly de-
stroyed by these worms, but zone sprink-
ling with tar water, applied with watering
pot, destroyed every worm and egg" The
tar water Is prepared by placing quart or
two of coaltar in tub Or barrel and filling
up with water. In about forty-eight hours
the water will smell strongly Of tar, when
it may be applied to the plants with q
syringe or common watering pot. If tar
water destroys the eggs, as affirmed, and
does not ipjure the growth nor the quality
of the cabbage, frequent seasonable appli-
cations of it, thus destroying the eggs,
eggs, would seem to be all That is required
as a complete and practical cabbage worm
remedy.

Brood Mares.

Young beginners should be careful when
buying brood mares to get such as are
regular breeders, says tee Horse Breeder.
1t will make a vast difference in the profits
in series OF years, whether a mare brings
a valuable foal every spring or misses
every other season, as some do. Many of
those which produce only in ternate years
might raise foal every season with proper
care. Nest breeders make it rule to mate
their mares the ninth day after foaling. In
the majority of cases this will prove cor
rect. There are exceptions, however. Some
mares should be mated the seventh day,
and will prove barren If not bred at that
time. Others can not be successfully mated
until the tenth day. and one may occasion
ally be found which will be pretty sure to
produce if bred when the foal is II days old
1t is safest to try them as early as the
seventh day.
