That there was more or less friction and
consequent discomfort no one possessed
of the facts will undertake to deny; but,
though the husband himself seemed
averse to and doubtless did everything
i'll his power to prevent scenes, thus
leaving his wife in the attitude of an
aggrcssor, it will not do, therefore, to
conclude that his conduct was not suffi-
cie1,t provocation for a woman s hostil-
ity. He allowed his interest in home
affairs to appear passive rather than
active, and thus his meek and invari-
able submission to the domination of
his wife, instead of clearing the domes-
tic atmosphere, only served to darken it
tho more with the lowering and angry
cloud of incompatibility. If he had un-
dortaken to measure swords with her
rather than retreat at the first sign of
discord, it would have been a better
stroke of policy.
The following incident will illustrate
some Of the perplexities that beset the
pathway of the wife, and one is left to
wonder how a high spirited and sensi-
tive woman could have endured such
marked Indifference if not neglect: One
evening after having returned from off
the circuit Mr.. Lincoln came down to
the postoffice for his mail. After having
read his letters he joined a party at a
game of chess, of which he was exceed
ingly fond, which lasted far into the
night Being intent on the issue of the
game, he failed to notice how time had
flown, and when he arose was astound-
ed to learn that the bands on the clock
indicated midnight. well, now, boys, !"
he sighed, Il hate to go home at this

look on his face when he said that that
Abiier Ellis, the postmaster, who under

Lincoln to accompany him to his house.
Come, sleep with me, insisted Ellis.
Ny folks will not complain if we come
III ut any hour, and SO far as your wife
is concerned she will lie no madder to-
:norrow morning than she is now F"
Thus appealed to, Lincoln picked up his
papers, and, to the amazement of the
boys, went away arm in arm with
Ellis, at whose house he remained the
rest Of the night. How he explained
matters and how he managed to placate
his wife the next morning when he

1t is said that III after years Mr. Lin
coin always seemed averse to discuss
ing the duel or its incidents If the sub
ject was called up by Il visitor or
stranger, Lincoln always parried the
question as if he were ashamed of il.
At the least mention of it he would in
variably shift the conversation Usher
F. Lindcr, Il brother lawyer, relates that
once, while attending court at Danville,
Lincoln playfully picked up lath and
was going through the sword manual
when Linder asked him why he chose
broad swords in his duel with Shields.
"To tell you the truth, F." he replied,
Il didn't want to kill Shields, and l
felt sure | could disarm him, having had
q month to learn the broadsword exer-

low to kill me, which fear he would
have done had we selected pistols !" To

conditions required in my paragraph as

toed the line. did not intend to hurt
him, except in self defense, but was
so much taller and my arms so much
longer | could have split him in twain
without moving hairs breadth over
the line. " How Lincoln himself could
have reached across and destroyed his
adversary with ten feet of space inter
vening is problem | leave the reader to
solve
