A New Story of Lincoln.

There have been uumberess stories
told of Lincoln. but here is one that |
think has never been in print before,
which deserves the careful consdera-
ton of every boy in the land. 1t was
told recently by Prot. John p. Guilt
yer of Andover IN a sermon. He was
acquainted with Mr., Lincoln before
the war. and one day asked lhim how
it was that he was ahle to put his
thought in such compact form. and at
the same time in such simple Ian
guage-for all knew that Lincoln had
never bad the advantages of the
schools
We'll" said the future President,
in slow. easy way. ali I've got any
power that way, Ill tell you how
suppose came to get it. You see
when was a boy. over in Indiana, all
the local politicians used TO come TO
our cabin to discuss politics with my
father. Aud used to sit by and lis

me ask many questions, and there were

what they meant. And then Iii lie
awake for hours oftentimes Just a-put-
ting their ideas into words that the
boys round our way could understand. /"
Here Law the rare power of that
great, ,elf-taught intellect. He studied
over the ideas of others until he had
fully mastered them for himself and
then he studied the expression Of those
ideas until he was ready to clothe
them in words which could be at once
easily understood by all the common
people. He thus taught his mind to
seize and assimilate every idea that
came within its reach, and to present
ii to popular assemblies in way neith-
er TO be misunderstood nor forgotten.

Cohesion and Adhesion.
Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 4th, lS9

As atoms have attractions which
cause them to unite In molecules. so
the molecules themselves have similar
attractions for one another.
When the attraction is between mol
ecules of the same kind, it is called CO.
hesion; when between molecules of
different kinds. it is called adhesion.
Molecules of water have an attrac-
ton of cohesion for one another, but
the adhesion between water and glass
is sufficient to overcome this, and to
cause piece of glass to be moistened
when dipped in water. On the other
hand, an oily stick will not be moist
ened by water, because the cohesion
in water is stronger than the adhesion
between water and oil.
The adhesive attraction of water for
gases causes the moisture OF the atmos-
phere to absorb impurities and bring
them down with the rain.
The attraction ot charcoal for va
rious substances renders it useful as q
filter for cleansing water, refining SUI
gar, etc.
In order that the forces of cohesion
and adhesion may act, it is necessary
to bring the molecules very near to
.one another. In breaking piece OF
irou, we exert force upon it sufficient
to pull its molecules so far apart that
the force OF cohesion no longer acts.
In order TO weld the separated parts
it is necessary to heat them until their
molecules will move more easily. and
then beat them together by hammering
until the molecules are again brought
within the range of cohesive force.
In stretching piece Of rubber, We
draw the molecules farther and far
Their apart, until finally the force APP
piled is sufficient TO overcome the
force OF cohesion by which the mole
culcs are attracted to one another
and they are separated or the rubber
is broken - Wmsiom's Principles %
