The sparrow bounty in Illinois has
brought so many boys with sparrow
guns into the streets thatit is almost
dangerous for people to venture out.
More than this, it has been found
that the. many cases of loses of eyes

one another in their quarrels and on
other people to test their marksman-

in a single week. And the sparrows
are as thick as ever.

Doctors have long agreed that
nothing helps so much in shaking off
disease as a strong resolution on the
part OF the patient, bgt rarely is
found so good an illustration of the
fact as is furnished by the Boston
journal. The story is that some for
ty years ago "a Massachusetts good
wife lay in her bed apparently dying
with consumption. As the family
lived four miles from the undertaken
and pastor, and as the roads were
badly blocked with snow, the hus-
band when called to the village on

and undertaken at once and appoint
ing the funeral for Friday. In some
way on Wednesday, the sick woman
heard of this, and arousing herself
from her supposed dying condition,
declared: 8, "There'll be no funeral in
this house this week." The funeral
was accordingly postponed. 1t took
place last Friday, forty years after it
was originally set. The husband is
still living at the age of eighty.

Pres ident Lincoln.

A letter on the religious character
of President Lincoln by Mr.. Miner, an
old neighbor and friend of the p-esi-
dent, contains some facts not hereto
fore known. We give its conclusion:
ct has been a matter of regret to
many good men that he came to his
tragic end in such a place. But if
the circumstances of his going there
were fully known, it might relieve
their minds somewhat. 1t has been
said that Mrs. Lincoln urged her hus-
band to go to the theatre against
his will. This is not so. On the con-
trary, she tried to persuade him not
to go, but he insisted. | have this
statement from Mrs Lincoln herself.
He said; | must have a little rest.
A large procession of excited and
overjoyed people will visit me to-
night. Ny arms are now lame shak-
ing hands with the multitude, and
the people will pull me to pieces He
went to the theatre, not because he
was interested in the play, but be-
cause he was careworn and needed
quiet and repose. Mrs. Lincoln in
formed me that he seemed to take no
notice of what was going on in the
theatre from the time he entered till
the discharge of the fatal pistol. He
was overjoyed at the thought that
the war was over, and that there
would be no further destruction of
life She said the last day that he
lived was the happiest day of his
life. The very last moments of his
conscious life were spent in conyersa-
ton with his wife about his future
plans and what he wanted to do
when his term of office had expired.
He said he wanted to visit the Holy
Land and see those places hallowed
by the footprints of the Saviour. He
said there was no city he desired so
much to see as Jerusalem, and with
this word halfspoken on his tongue
the bullet from the assassin entered
his brain, and the soul of the great
and good president was carried by
the angels to the New Jerusalem
above. "-Christian Leader, Boston.

A monster indignation meeting
was held in New York the other even

was to express publicly disapproval

Speeches we're made by several prom
