Sleep now-O singerl when life's day is done,
That heard thy song
The music of its echoes lingering still
Around thy dear New England home, to thrill
That listening throng
Bright evergreens and flowers around thy grave,
They scattered free
Twas well-for like the flowers, with fragranc
sweet,
And evergreens, like endless life to greet,
Thy songs will be.
Sweet bells that struck the number Of thy years
Rungsweetly by,
To tell Of sweeter music in thy song,
Which in the hearts . men will finger long,
Never to die.
Thy country's nag, the bright and starry sign,
Dropped at thy fall
For dear to Freedom as her heros fight
The songs that come like music IN the night,
Sweetest of all.
The brave and gifted gathered round thy grave,
To bid farewell
A brighter circle dawns upon our eyes,
Who stand to bid the welcome to the skies,
Above to dwell.
Sure the sweet song that fingered here so long,
Is not to die
Like some sweet songster-but a moments hush,
When higher in the air the wild notes gush-
Thy song on high.

LINCOLN ON MARRIAGE,

The Great War President in Favor of a Form
OF Stirpiculture.
From the Chicago Tribune.
In his wanderings about the city few days
ago the writer had occasion to call on a man
who was an intimate acquaintance of Lincoln,
and such men are growing fewer. The CONVEX
sation turned on the great man naturally. for if
a man knew Lincoln intimately he is sure to
run to Lincoln before the conversation is over
il it lasts sufficiently long. I'm some respects
said the gentleman referred to, "Linco,ns
memory suffers by reason of his having been
the king of wit. There are those who think
that he never said anything serious. cannot
understand how such an impression exists but
l know it does. Why. he was one of the greatest
philosophers 1 ever heard, and his philosophy
was always modestly put, but at the same
time he was always SO sincere in it that
he was at times almost solemn. I re-
member on one occasion he was talking about
marriage. a subject in which he always took tue
most profound interest. He suid that every
man who contemplated marriage should stand
over a doctor with a club and make him tell
the truth in reference to the chosen partner for
life, il there were no other way Of getting it
out of him. And he went further. He de-
clared that the parents who would allow a girl
to marry a man without knowing as nearly as
could be known his physical as well "a his
moral condition deserved to be scalped. In
his opinion the whole marrying business was
wrong. He declared that fashionable girls too
often were cursed with foolish mothers, who
cared for nothing but to see their flesh and
blood sold to the highest bidder There was
nothing funny in that sort Of talk, was there?
1t ought to be framed and hung up in every
home in the land. How few men knew the
deeps of that master of men. What a loss to
the world that he should have been taken away
from 1t at the time when he was just being I'M

"A jacket, with frizzly whiskers and smell Of

beach at Asbury Park the other day gathering
driftwood. As fast as he secured an armful
of such fotsam and jetsam he would carry it to
the roadway on the other side Of the board

attached to cadaverous-looking horse. Within

Magnetic Miss Bentley Astonishes Gar and
Princes
The .Story of the Girl Who Baff1ed the Car
is told in the new number Of the Review Of Re-
views, says a London journal. Miss Bentley,
who accompanied Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart Cumber-
land on their recent visit TO Copenhagen before
the golden-wedding party broke up, rather sur
prised his majesty by some of her experiments.
Royal Of Greece to push to.the ground billiard
cue lightly held by Miss Bentley in her hands,
and with considerable alacrity he took his
nephevs place after he had failed. The car
grasped the cue with both hands and put his
enormous strength into the effort to get the
point of the cue to the ground. 1t bent and
quivered. but all his majestys efforts, like those
of his predecessor. were in vain.
But a still greater surprise WAS in store for
the car. He placed his hands under Miss
Bentleys elbows and lifted; up went the
young English girl until her fair hair almost
touched the ceiling. Then Mr.. Cumberland
explained that on that occasion Miss Bentley
had allowed herself to be lifted but when his
majesty next tried he would find it impossible
to move her. The car smiled But the smile
quickly gave way to a look of perplexity when all
his efforts to lift her the hundredth part of an
inch from the ground we're unavailing. Still more
surprised he when Miss Bentley, lightly
resting her fingers against the wall re listed the
efforts Of various members of the royal party to
push her against the wall.
The experiment with chair. in which Miss
Bentley. By merely placing hand on each side
of the back of a chair with the thumbs slightly
curved, lifted q person seated thereon, excited
the czars profound attention, and he sat on the
chair and was lifted. Then the Prince Royal OF
Greece sat upon his majesty's knees and up
went the chair. To them were added the Crown
Prince of Denmark and the Duke of Cumber-
land-one emperor, two future kings and one
king in posse. Never was there SO much roy
atty upon one single chair before. Their col
lective weight was certainly not less than sixty
stone. The chair was grssped by Miss Bentley
a. before and up IL went, emperor, princes and
all. three or four inches from the ground. The
cars first look WAS one Of surprise, his second
one of warm congratulation.
