LINcoLAi.s MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature and His
Early Misfortunes.

Those who saw much OF Abraham
Lincoln during the later years o. his
life, were greatly impressed with the ex-
preston of profound melancholy his
face always wore in rePose.
Mr.. Lincoln was of a peculiarly
sympathetic and kindly nature. These
strong characteristics influenced, very
happily, as it proved, his entire polit-
ical career. They would not seem, at
first glance, to be efficient aids to polit-
ical success; but in the peculiar emer-
gency which Lincoln, in the Providence
OF God, was called to meet, no vessel
of common clay could possibly have
become the ''chosen of the LoTS."
Those acquainted with him from
boyhood knew that early griefs tinged
his whole life with sadness. His part
ner in the grocery business at Salem,
was ssUncle'' Billy Green. of Tallula,
mers were few, to hold the grammar
while Lincoln recited his lessons.
It was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln
told the story of his love for sweet Ann
Rutlidge; and he, in return, offered
what comfort he could when poor Ann
died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly
broke.
'.After Ann died." says "Uncle" Bill
Iy,'' son stormy nights, when the wind
blew the rain against the roof, Abe
would set thar in the grocery, his ell
bows on his knees, his face in his hands,
and the tears runnin' through his fin
gers. I hated to see him feel bad, an
I'd say, ABE, don't cry;' an he'd look
up an say, 81 can't help it, Bill, the
rains a fallin' on her."
There are many who can symbathize
with this overpowering grief, as they
rains a fallin' on her. What adds
poignancy to the grief sometimes is the
thought that the lost one might have
been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William John
son, of Corona, L. L, builder, who
writes June %, 1890: ''Last February,
on returning from church one night,
my daughter complained of having a
pain in her ankle. The pain gradually
extended until her entire limb was
swollen and very painful to the touch.
We called a physician, who, after a
careful examination, pronounced it dis
ease of the kidneys of long standing.
All we could do did not seem to ben
eft her until we tried Warmers Safe
Cure; from the first she commenced to
improve. When she commenced taking
it she could not turn over in bed, and
could just move her hands little, but
to-day she is we'll as she ever was. I
believe I owe the recovery of my
daughter to it's use."

Forever,nore brothers.

In speech at the Confederate re-
union in Chattanooga, on the 4th of
July, General George B. Gordon, OF
Louisiana, said: I'VE all recognize the
fact that the late war was a gallant
fight. Both sides were right. We of
the South fought for the Constitution
of our fathers as founded by the Su-
preme Court. The South was a loyal
country, but We were wrong on the
slavery question. The North was right
when it fought us on that score. There

sociates, after the war began; had been

Mississippi River in a ridiculous at

He states that Immediately on his ar

the "Sons of Liberty" He was re-

to him. They became convinced dur
ing the summer of 1864 that their
efforts to defeat the election
of Mr.. Lincoln were hopeless.
Lincoln had the power" wrote
Thompson, and would certainly re-
elect himself" and there was mo hope
but in force" The belief was enter
tanned and freely expressed that by q
bold, vigorous and concerted move
ment the three great Northwestern
States of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio
could be seized and held. This would
naturally involve the accession of Mis-
souri, and Kentucky to the Confeder-
acy, and this, in sixty days. would end
the war. It was resolved to hold q
series of peace meetings in Illinois for
the purpose of preparing the public
mind for such n revolt. The first of
these meetings was to be held at
Peoria, and ito make it success, +"

Sister-hearts in LOYAL beating
Take a soldier-brother's greeting;
Let him, from the thinning ranks,
Feebly voice the chorus'd thanks
OF every soul to country true,
OF widows, mothers-blessing you;
That with the orphans prayers ascend,
And In a heavenly echo blend,
Where camp our comrades, gone before,
d hero host on the other shore.
You oheer'd US in the hour of strife,
When battling for our nations life;
But you'd your days of misery sore,
With black grief's shadow at the door.
In wage Of war men could unite;
Alone, you faced the starless night
OF prayer and tears, of agonized pain,
Lest one you gave be midst the slain
Your bitter woe-'twas that alloy
Cheapen'd our prize-the victor's joy;
1t seemed As though our banner threw
The stars for us, its stripes for you.
What's battle-qualnn-to woman g fearsP
What, Ounet-let blood-to wonan's tears2
What. saber-cut-tO fond heart cleft?
What, soldiers death-to q wife bereft2
Sisters We knew the fight you fought.
FOR you the martyrs crown we wrought;
Entw1ned tbs, round our hearts for you
For each and ALA tribute due;
ana green our gratitude to-day
As eer were leaves of wreathed bay,
That crowned brow, for battle planned
man was stricken, sank and died,
The woman lived-but crucifed;
Each day, each hour renewed her pain,
And nailed her to the Cross again.
Your wounds, mayhap. yet bleed and smart,
But sorroW's the school Of WonRSl's heart;
Each pang, in silence borne, still shows
a soothing balm for others woes.
AS once midst strife and trumpet's blare,
In qutst of peace we breathe our prayer;
God bless the hands that aid distress,
God bless the words of tenderness;
God bless the winning smile that cheers,
God bless the precious, healing tears.
Thanks for each kindly, prompting thought,
For shrinking want, your zeal outsought;
For succor ng errands your feet have sped,
For famished bodies your doles have fed;
For cares relieved, for griefs dispelled,
For pains assuaged, for hands upheld;
For faithful watch by humble bed,
For sacred ministry Ger our dead
For that self-giving leads you through
The noble work you find to do.
And, thanks to bounteous God above
For woman's au-ha1ow'd, untiring love.
You. Mercy's soldier, fight to savel
War 'gainst sorrow. want, the grave.
For all the holy deeds you We done,
Thanks only here on earth you've won;
But every blessing God can shower
Awaits you at that supreme hour
When, in the dread, far-distant land,
Before the great White Throne you stand,
From Him who died ON Calvary
The Christ of love and charity
This shall your glorious welcome be:
AS to the least of these ye did
So did We unto me-"
