Personal friends of Mr.. Black delight
to call him n second Lincoln, but at
this time the only resemblance which
tho Troy statesman bears to the mar
tyred President is a lankiness of ply
siane. There are at least several other
people in the world who might claim
with equal right the same distinction.
Herewith is given some of the bright
est gems of thought and utterance ac-
credited to Mr.. Black:
"The time to determine what a his.
tory shall be Is before it is completed,
for once closed 1t can neither be chang
ed nor recalled.
1T is no small thing to be right. An
error is easily conceived and may be
SOON committed, and If a plea of ire
sponsibility or promise of reform is
good discharge, the offender may not
oNy escape, but he may also never
realize the gravity Of his offence.
"This is not time for erecting new
aKmosities or renewing old ones. 1t is
no-tme to refuse forgiveness to sinners
VINO have repented. The present dan
ger Is too great not to welcome every
man prepared to enter our ranks.
