Lincoln's Greeley Letter.

As LiDcoln's birthday occurs this
week, when celebrations and banquets
will be held IN honor of his birthday
the following letter of Mr.. Lincoln to
Horace Greedy, known as the "Greely
Letter." will be found instructive and
corrective to many who believe and
teach that Lincoln held the preserva-
tion of the Union secondary to the
Abolition OF slavery:
EXECUTIVE MANSION. !
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. %, 1862. !
TO Hon. Horace Greeley;
Dear Sir-I have just received
yours of the Goth inst, addressed to
me through the New York Tribune.
IF there be In it any statement or
assumption of fact which l may
know to be erroneous, / do not now
and here controvert them. If there
be any inferences which l may be-
lieve to be falsely drawn, l do not
now and here argue against them. If
there be perceptible in an impatient
and dictorial tone, | waive it, in de-
ference to an old friend, whose heart
l have always supposed to be right.
"As to the policy seem to be pur'
suing, as you say, l have not meant
to leave any one in doubt. l would
save the Union. l would save 1t in
the shortest way under the constitu-
ton. The sooner the national author
ity can be restored, the nearer the
union will be the union as it was. If
there be those who would not save
the union, unless they could at the
same time save slavery, l do not
agree with them. If there be those
who would not save the Union, unless
at the same time they could destroy
slavery, 1 do not agree with them.
MY paramount object Is to save
the union and not either to save or to
destroy slavery. If could save The
union without freeing any slaves, l
would do so; and if | could do so by
freeing all the slaves, I would do 1t.
And if could do it by freeing some
and leaving others lone, l would also
10 that. What l do about slavery
and the colored race, l do because
.hink it helps to save the union; and
what | forebear to do, forebear be-
cause do not believe it would help
10 save the union. | shall do less
whenever | believe that what | am
1oing hurts the cause; and l shall DO
more, whenever l believe doing more
will help the cause. will try to cor
'ect errors, when shown to be errors;
md l shall adopt new views SO fast
Is they shall appear to be true views.
Il have here stated my purpose ac-
'ording to my views of official duty,
md intend no modification of my Oft
IN expressed personal Wish, that all
nen, everywhere, could be free.
"Yours,
"A. LINCOLN"

young man of broad sympathies and
sincere ambitions. The Republican
party borrowed Its strongest spirits
from the Democracy-men who may
have been wrong in thought, but
were never towards as shirkers.
From the unbroken line of Jeffer-
sons, Jacksons, Bentons, Douglases,
Thurmans, Cleveland, Randalls, Nor
risons, and Carlisles we can see why
the Democratic party is indestructible.
Whether any Democratic statesman
judges well or i'll upon a particular
question: whether the party is united
or divided at particular time, certain
it always is that around core of Dem
ocratic belief are gathered the best,
truest and bravest of the American
nation. That is why the Democratic
party often losses power through the
heat of Its discussions and always re-.
gains power by the inherent right Of
its doctrine and the invulnerable
strength of its manhood.

Don't Let The Green Eyed Mon.
ster In.

1t is strange, but true, that people
sometimes allow the green eyed mon
ster Of envy and jealousy to get the
better Of them, without stopping to
realize how utterly foolish it is. Some
people do seem to get along better in
this world than others, but the fact
that they have an abundance of this
worlds goods while you, perhaps, do
not know where your next dollar ls to
come from does not exempt them
from trouble, the common lot of ali,
any more than it does you. Sickness
death and even disagree invade the
homes of the wealthy as well as the
poor, and the palace of the Million
ARE is just as apt to have a skeleton
grinning in its closet as the humble
home of the renter across the way.
Prosperity and popularity do not fol-
low anybody through life without
more or less trouble and worry being
intermingled, Hawthorne expressed
this truth when he wrote "lt Is not
best to be too prosperous. 1t may
be superstition but it has always
seemed to me that the bitter is apt to
come with the sweet and that too
bright sunshine casts dark shadow"
If we could trace Dyspepsia to it's
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the sacret Of good
health is good cooking. lfwell cook

il you suffer from Dyspepsia, the
rational cure must be looked for in
an artiticially digested food, and a
food which will at the same time aid
the digestion Of other foods. Such a
preparation virtually rests their
digestive organs, thereby, restoring
them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such preparation, and a single
