at his appearance. "Tennyson was at

was placed a dish of fruit, and said,

Linooln's Good Breeding,

The writer remembers very we'll to
have heard a very fastidious lady, a
member of the Speed household, say
that, though at that time Lincoln had
none of the polish and ~gracefulness to
be expected from those acquainted with
the usages Of society, he was one of ma
lures gentlemen because Of his kindli-
ness Of heart and innate refinement.
And after saying this she recalled an in
stance of real good manners ON his part.
AT dinner there was q saddle Of mutton.
The servant after handing the roast
passed a glass Of jelly. MI. Lincoln took
the glass and ate the jelly from it. The
servant got another glass and passed it
around. Mr. Lincoln noticed that the
others at table merely took a spoonful.
Without embarrassment or apology he
laughed quietly and remarked, ST seem
to have taken more than my SHARE"
and then he went on with his dinner.
Most persons, this lady thought, after
committing such a solecism would have
been covered with confusion and profuse
in apologies. john Gilmer Speed in
