SOME OF LINCOLN'S SAYINGS.

We cannot escape history.
 Revolutionize through the bal lot-box.
 Let none falter who thinks he is right.
 It is no pleasure to me to tri- umph over anyone.
 I do not impugn the motives of anyone opposed to me.
 I have not willingly planted a thorn in any mans bosom.
 All that I am, all that I hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
 There is no grievance that is a fit object for redress by mob law.
 God must like common people, or he would not have made so many of them.
 For thirty years I have been a temperance man. and I am too old to change. This government must be pre- served in spite of the acts of any man or set of men.
 Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he | is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
 Let us have faith that right makes might: and, in that faith, let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it. 1 know the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation shall be on the Lords side. No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty-none less in, clined to take or touch aughl which they have not honestly earned.
 1 Any people, anywhere, being inclined and shaving Ithe power have the right to rise m and shak off the existing government an' form 2 new one that suits then better. This is a most valuabl and sacred right--a right which we hope and belive, is to liberat' the world.
