LAncoIn,s Place in History.

The Rev. John Coleman Adams maintains
shat Lincoln was much more than the Great
EmaneIpatOr. He says in the Century that this
conviction is pronounced with full sense of
the possible shock il may bring TO those who
love 10 think Of LiBeoin's chief rsuown as con-
Dected with the race he freed from bondage. 1t
Is hard Tor many Of us not TO feel that emanci-
patton was the great achievement of that strug-
gle. and that the war was waged to decide
whether this should be a free Nation or a land
Of bonds and stripes
But the wiser years will decide against us.
All our thanEfulBess and honor TO the man who
made the act OF emancipation a weapon with
which TO strike rebellion must not blind US ia
the fact that this splend ID stroke of policy this
noble deed Of statecraft was only an incident

history, the development Of mankind. the work
OF civilization. the American people under
their great leader were engaged in determi ming
whether tie great principle OF federation, the
peaceful cGexistence Of great States, should
sOcceed or fail. They were in a struggle TO de-
clde whether the rule OF peace and good will
should extend, or stop and go no further.
Aud Abraham Lincolu's clear. unerring eve

Lincoln Mt Gettysburg.

John G.. Nicolay, who was Mr.. Lincolns
Private Secretary, and who accompanied the
President when he made his immortal speech
at Gettysburg describes in The Century the Oc-
casion, and compares tile various versions of
the speech. l..a %
At about II O'Clock the Presidential party
reached the platfogIn.. Mr. Everett, the orator
of the day, arrived folly half an hour later,
and there was still further waiting before the
military bodies and civic spectators could be
properly ranged and stationed.
1t therefore fully noon before Mr.
Everett began his address, after which. for two
hours, he held the assembled multitude in
wrspt attention with his eloquent description
and argument, his polished diction, his care
fnly-studied and practiced delivery,
When he had concluded, and the band had
performed the usual musical interude Pres-
dent Lincoln to fill the part assigned him
in the program. 1t was entirely natural for
every one TO expect that this would consist of
few perfunctory words, the mere formality of
official dedication. There is every probability
that the assemblage regarded Mr.. Everett as
the mouthpiece, the organ Of expression Of the
thought and feeling of the hour, and took it for
granted that Mr.. Lincoln was there as mere
official fgure-head, the eliminating decoration,
so To speak, of the elaborately y planned pageant
of the day. They were therefore totally un-
prepared for what they heard, and could not
Immediately realiz, that his words, and not
those of the carefully selected orator. were to
carry the concentrated thought of the occasion
like a trumpet peal to farthest posterity.
The newspaper records indicate that when
Mr.. Lincoln began to speak, he held in his hand
the manuscript first draft of his address which
he had finished only short time before. But
it is the distinct recollection of the writer, who
sat within few feet Of him, that he did not
read from the written pages though that i'm
preston was naturally left upon many of his
auditors. That it was not a mere mechanical
reading is, however. more definitely confirmed
by the circumstance that Dir. Lincoln did not
deliver the address in the exact form in which
his first draft Is written. 1t was taken down
in shorthand by the reporter for the Associated
Press, telegraphed to the principal cities, and
printed on the following morning in the lead
ing newspapers.
The National tribune., 1894-02-15

"Several others offered sentiments of the
same nature, after which Miss Barton called
for another hymn when the same old deacon
led off again in the singular strains natural to
the negro race. At the ending Miss Barton
pronounced the benediction, and all quietly
dispersed.
Going on board again, the cruiser sped
away to Charleston to obtain supplies. and
again to return to the field of duty with as
little delay as possible. Later on, as the an
cent spires of Charleston came into view, re-
splendent in the light of perfect day, the first
cruise of the Revenue Cutter Morrill,, under the
Aag of the Red Cross, came to successful
termination; cruise never to be forgotten
by those taking part in it. It had occupied
five busy days, and we had touched Locke's
Island, sailed through the picturesque St.
Helena Sound, and also visited South Edisto
Island, besides the other places have men-
toned before.
Several cruises have been made since by
the Morrill, over the same grouad but don't
think any will ever quite equal the first one,
which had all the Zsst of novelty about it. On
reaching Beaufort on the 3lst of December we
found good Thanksgiving dinner waiting for
US, which had been cooked in the Indiana Red
Crsss Park Farm Home 1t com prised the typi-
cal turkey, nince pies, doughnuts, pumpkin
pies, and all the old toothsome traditional
Thanksgiving fxings. We were all just tired
enough to take to it like native New Eng

8POor Richards Almanac

It was Poor Richards Almanac" which
first made Franklin famous, and il was out ot
the mouth of Poor Richard that Frank lin
spoke most effectively to his fellow-country-
men.
He had noticed that the almanac was often
the only book in many houses, and he there
fore filled all the little spaces that occurred
between the remarkable days in the calendar
with proverbial sentences, chiefly such as incul-
Gated industry and frngality as the means of pro-
curing wealth, and thereby securing virtue; it
being more difficult for a man in want to act
always honestly, as, to use here one of those
proverbs, 1t is hard for an empty sack to
stand upright"
By these pithy, pregnant sayings, carrying
their moral home fit to be pondered in the
long Winter evenings, Franklin taught Ameri-
cans TO he thrifty, to be forehanded. and to
look for help only from themselves, declares
Brander Matthews in St Nicholas The rest of
the almanac also interesting, especially
the playful prefaces 3. for Franklin was the
first of American huin9rists, and to this day
he has not been surpassed in his own line.
The best of the prQverbs-nOt original, all of
them, but all sent forth freshened and sharp
