HER S SHOES.

She bought them in the town one day,
My lady fair, my lady gay,
Those dollar shoes;
She showed them to us all with pride,
The stuff was coarse. the last too wide,
The place uneven where they tied,
Those dollar shoes.
But when she put them on her feet
They looked so trim and fine and neat,
Those dollar shoes,
That Cinderella, coquette fair,
Might have been glad to change her
pair
Of glass ones for chance to wear
Those dollar shoes.
So with all things my queen doth
touch,
They gain in grace and beauty much
And coarseness lose;

Are willing, though with steps uneven,
To follow up the path to heaven

In songs of JOY and prayer and praise
And glad thanksgiving, and, again,
Her work in a religious way
SURPRISES mans, and is sublime;
While she grows better every day
hes apt TO stumble any time.
What right has he to stay her hand,
Who bears the brunt OF churchly cares,
And say she doesn't understand
Ecclesiastical affairs?
l fear the church without her aid
Would crumbe in a little while;
'Twould be too slow on dress parade,
No life, no hope. no strength, no style.
The preachers salary would lapse,
The costly edifice would rot,
Attended by a few old chaps
Who think they're saved when they
are not.
L fancy when we quit this scene
OF earthly pain and grief and care
And Wander OH to pastures green
And crystal cities over there;
When we have shuffied off the coil
That keeps the soul imprisoned here
And found up there a finer soil
And less polluted atmosphere;
There, I imagine, we shall see,
Awaiting US upon the shore,
A few Ike Lazarus and me
And women by the million score.

HOW THE SPEECH WAS PRESERVED
But though the coIY ention so nearly to
a man lost its head, there was at least
one auditor who had enough control to
pursue his usual habit of making notes
of the speeches he heard. This was a
young lawyer on the same circuit as Lin

the political situation in the state care

Whitney had gone to the convention in

did that Lincoln had not written out

purpose. He made his notes and on re-
