Humanity Of Lincoln

It was President Lincoln's intense
love for his fellow msE that led him
to disapprove Of the findings Of court
martial, whenever there was a posi-
BILE excuse, particularly in the cases
OF soldiers charged with desertion.
with having fallen asleep at a post Of
duty, or with other offenses.
Secretary Stanton always insisted
upon the strictest discipline in the
army and frequently urged that de-
relict soldiers receive the severest
punishment of military law and Gus
tom, but Lincoln rarely took any ad-
vice On such matters. He had medl-
tated deeply on that subject and con-
suited his own Judgment in disposing
Of cases Of that kind that came before
him.
The late Joseph HOLT, who recently
died at Washington, was judge advo-
cate general Of the army during the
whole period of the war and it became
his duty to report many cases OF al
legged cowardice Of soldiers as well SE
other offenses. President Lincoln
carefully read every line Of the charges
against such men, and as soon as he
saw the slightest chance to excuse the
poor fellow a CLEAN Of satisfaction
would pass over his serious face. Then
folding the papers together he placed
them in a pigeon hole OF his desk, and
with his big eyes looking into those OF
the Judge advocate standing before
him, he would say:
Holt, we will let those soldiers go.
order them set Free"
It was after the battle of Chancel-
louisville that charges were brought
against several men for failing TO
march with their regiments into the
fight at a time when they were most
needed. The charge Of desertion was
made.
When Secretary Stanton heard oil
these cases he commanded Judge Holt
to present the charges against the mel
TO the president in the strongest pos.
sible terms.
I'VE need stronger discipline in the
army" said the stern secretary Of wal
to the Judge advocate. The time haI
come when the president must yield t

TUNING AND GRINDING.

". have our little fallings-out and ar
guments and such.
And then we make II up again; they
don't amount to much
But on one subject, anyhow, we're all
Of the same mind;
We all OF ~ don't want TO turn, and
all do want to grind
I've heard about q grindstone OF .
labor-sayIng kind
II only takes one person TO turn II ana
to grind.
You work a treadle with your foot,
the same as mother sews,
And a fellow don't mind turning when
he's grinding, suppose.
But ours Is not that kind Of one; 1t
amt that we're asleep,
But moneys scarce and hard to get,
and elbow-grease is cheap
Where there's half q dozen elbows
that are half the time In sight,
Though mother puts on patches /

Boys" father said, the other day,
zone thing you've got to learn,
We can't all do the grinding, for some
body must turn.
OF course I'd like you all to be as smart
as folks are made,
But 1t isn't very likely that you VIII
be, I'm afraid!
"And there's very few so stupid that
they really couldn't earn
Themselves an honest living, II they'd
Just agree to turn
BY all means try for grinding, but own
1t IL you find
That you can do the turning, but Amt
smart enough to grind"
When father talks, he says 1t. He likes
to do things out.
see him smiling, sometimes, at the
things he thinks about.
When he comes in from the plow-field,
he don't tell you how he aches,
He tells you something queer he's seen
OF birds, o. beasts. or snakes.
It's only in the winters we have time
to go to school,
But we dig at it. tell you, and l hope
I'm not a fool.
And the thing we talk the most about
the thing we hope to do,
In a race that's free to every one. Is
what I'm coming to.
Wen keep our eyes wide open; II we're
only fit to turn,
Well look for the best way there u
and that's the one we'll learn.
But think how mother and father d fee

That every single son they had wa!
