LlNCOLN'S MELANCHOLY,
his Sympathetic Nature and His Early
NlsHorfunos

l
| Misfortunes.
Those who saw much Of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years of his life, were great
ly impressed with the expression of pro-
found melancholy his face always wore in
repose.
Mr. Lincoln was Of a peculiarly sympathet-
ic and kindly nature. These strong charac-
teristics Influenced, very happily, as it
proved, his entire political career. They
would not seem, at first glance, to be eff
Gent 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 griefs tinged his whole
life with sadness His partner in the
grocery business at Salem, was s'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.
"After Ann died." says "Qncle' Billy,

the grocery, his elbows on his knees, his
face in his hands, and the tears runnin'
through his fingers. hated to see him feel
bad, an I'd say, ABE don't cry;' an he'd
look up an say L can't help it, Bill, the
rains fallin' on her,"
There are many who can sympathize with
this overpowering grief, as they think of a
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.
Fortunate, indeed, is William johnson, of
Corona, L. l., builder, who writes June %,
1890: LAST February, on returning from
church one night, my daughter complained
