LINCULN'S MELANCHOLY.
Ills Sympathetic Nature and His
Early Misfortunes.

Those who saw much OF Abraham Lincoln
during the later years OF his life, were
greatly impressed with the expression OF
profound melancholy his face always wore
IN repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was OF peculiarly sympa-
thetic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics Influenced, very happily, as
IL proved, his entire political career. They
would not seem, az first glance, to be eff
Client aids to political success; but in the
peculiar emergency which Lincoln In the
tho 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 griefs tinged his whole llfo
with sadness. His partner in the grocery
business ut Salem was "Uncle" Billy Green
OF Tallula, ILL.,, who used at night, when the
customers were few, TO hold the grammar
while Lincoln recltcd his lessons.
II was To his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
he story of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge;
and he, in return, offered what comfort he
could when poor Ann died and Lincoln $
great heart nearly broke.
After Ann died. says Uncle" Billy,
ION stormy nights, whom the wind blew the
rain against tho roof, Abe would set thar in
thc grocery, his elbows ON his knees his
race i'm 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
rain : IA fallln' on her."
There are many who can sympathize with
this ovCrpoweIing grief, as they think OF a
lost loved one, when 1.-THE rain S fallin' ON
her" What aids poignancy To the grief
some times is the thought that the lost one
might have been saved.
Fortunate, indeed is William Johnson, OF
Corona, l.. l., BUTLER, who writes June rs,
1890: Last February, on returning from
church one night, my daughter complained
of having n pain in her ankle. The pain
gradually extended until her entire limb
was swollen and very painful to the touch.
We called u physician, who after careful
examination, pronounced il disease OF the
Kidneys OF long standing. All we could do,
did not seem TO benefit her until we tried
