Built for Peace or War.

The British government evidently be-
lieves that in time of peace it is well to
prepare for war. With this object in
view the vessels Of several transatlantic
lines are constructed so as to be available
for other uses than the carrying Of freight
or passengers. The Majestic is a notable
example Of this type of ship. She was
built recently for one of the great ocean
steamship companies, and few days
since made her first voyage from Liver

a tub banging the very deuce out OF a
piece Of clothing, which shall remain UNI

costed her and announced his errand.
'sGet along wild ycz,' she cried. .s.I'm.

she gave the garment i'll hand an extra
punch on the washboard and left the

remembered his instructions to be cour-

LINcoLN,s MELANCHOLY.
His sylnpathetlc Nature and !Hls early
Mlxf0rtunes.

MtAtOrtun0g.
Those who saw much OF Abraham Lincoln
greatly impressed with the expression OF
profound melancholy his face always wore
In rcpose.
Mr. Lincoln was OF d peculiarly SYM
pathetic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics influenced, very happily,
as it proved, his entire political career.
They would not seem, ut first glance, TO be
aids to political success; but in the
peculiar emergency which Lincoln, in the
providence Of God, was called upon to meet,
no vessel of common clay could possibly
have. become the achosen OF the Lord.n
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
