The bosom OF every maiden

rhe bosom Of every maiden
Was hlled with fear OF the Sack;
The mothers they wept: and the children
Came weeping to them; but, MACK!
The prowess OF all their defenders
Could bear not the enemy back.
Vain OFFER OF ransom: still vaine
a plea for mercy to him
Who held to each savage retainer
BY spells that were shameful and
grim
False e'er to the fair, he were fainer
To foster each furious within.
Then up rose the noble Lady,
Whose eyes were n fire and flame,
And secretly out from the city
She stole In the darkness and came,
In all OF her mentionless beauty,
To the text Of the conq'ror. Shame7
lie looked on the noble Lady.
The Lady she looked ON him.
Mother OF all hat have made men fall
Was the look that she looked on him;
And his Will, that was fierce to conquer
Grew weak. and his eyes grew dim.
The soldiers OF ali your armies
The city, they'll pass II by.
And tho maidcns. and all the mothers.
No longer must fear or cry:
And the price for this far. great mercy
DO you hesitate? Well. It's T."
The nercest OF all his soldiers,
And yet the truest. the tried
lie set them to guard the city wall.
Lest any his will dened:
And by morning light they had passed
from sight.
30 the women nor feared nor cried.
But the sacriHce-the martyr,
Slinked I'm by the city gate.
And slew herself by the sacred fire,
Where the white-robed vestais wait:
Nor hitter were they by the spot to stay
the revered too late.

The Sacrifice.

There once was a noble Lady
with eyes that were fire and flame.
But for the despair OF her lovers
This Lady was not to blame;
For she had not sought the homage
or those who TO worship came.
She lived In an ancient city
That lay In the path OF war,
In the days when there was no pity
For mother or maid: when the car
Of the cona'ror crushed To earth
The least that his course would debar.
And women decided her glances
Were snares for the souls OF men.
To lure them away from the chances
or others: and never again.
In that modish and ancient city.
Was her name for the tongue or pen.
But the Victor came: he invested
city with foot and horse;
Tie Haunted the fags he had wrested
From those who had died In hts course;
There was death II the city resisted.
There was doubt II they yielded to
force.

this cotton again, and on rich land
it made just as much, and ripenvd

Ina much as our honoged f iend

from the activities of this life to
those of the life eternal, we hereby
express our sincere appreciation
of him as a member of this asso-

loss.
Through his professional life he
had come to know women, their
capacity and their needs. For this
reason especially his adherence to
the principle Of woman suffrage,
was an endorsement most highly
valued.
In common with this entire COM

An Interesting Scene.

The New York daily journals gave
an account of a competition which
took place on Lincolns birthday be-
tween the children Of the public
schools. A prize had been offered by
the Patria Club for the best salute to
the flag" and original patriotic song.
The most dramatic feature of the exer-
cises was probably the appearance of
six hundred Russian children, who are
being educated by the fund given by
Baron de Hirsch. Most of these boys
and girls had been less than six
months in this country, but with the
extraordinary facility Of their race in
learning a language, they already
speak and understand English, and
show an enthusiastic admiration for
their adopted country.
They marched into the great audi
forum of the Educational Alliance
building, each child wearing an Amer
lean flag pinned to his or her breast.
Their superintendent said to them,
"You are no longer Russians; you are
Americans. Let us see whether you
can give three good American cheers"
The cheers were given with spark

the representative Of the people he had
another consciousness. AS the SER
want of his countrymen lie enveloped
himself with their convictions as they
grew.
Consequently he did not rule them
Clothed with new and almost dictato-
rial power, he used it solely at their
own unquestionable pressure upon him.
Never have we had so strong Presi-
dent; never was one who ruled less.
Ic may not be fair, altogether, to
compare present leaders with him and
to condemn them for falling below his
standard. No other statesman in the
world has possessed such fineness OF
human instinct coupled with such I'M
surpassed experience of men and such
extraordinary judgment of values as
constituted the outfit of Lincoln.
But on the other hand no such con-
fusion of circumstances surrounds our
modern executives.
What we have right to demand In
this day no less than in 1861 is leaders
who, without hypocrisy, love the peo-
pie, know the people, obey the people.

ONE OF LiNcoLN's STORIES.
The Fate OF the Man Who Tried to Ad-
vertise Gunpowder at Prayer Meeting.


vertise Gunpowder at yer-Meeting.
The following anecdote by Lincoln
is recounted by General Horace Por-
ter. 1t was told during Lincoln's visit
to the front at City Point: In the
course of the conversation that even
ing he spoke of the improvement in
arms and ammunition, and of the new
powder prepared for the fifteen-inch
guns. He said he had never seen the
latter article, but he understood 1t dill
fered very much from any other pow
der that had ever been used. / told
him that l happened to have in my
tent a specimen which had been sent
to headquarters as a curiosity, ana
that | would bring 1t to him. When
l returned with a grain OF the powder
about the size Of walnut, he took II,
turned it over in his hand, and after
examining IL carefully, said: well,
it's rather larger than the powder we
used to buy in my shooting Gays. IL
reminds me of what occurred once in
country meeting house in Sangamon
county. You see, there were very few
newspapers then, and the country
storekeepers had to resort to some 9TH
er means of advertising their wares.
If, for instance, the preacher happened
to be late in coming to prayer-meet-
ing of an evening, the shopkeepers
would often put in the time while the
people were waiting by notifying them
of any new arrival of an attractive line
of goods.
Zone evening man rose up and
said: Brethren, let me take occasion
to say, while we're a-waitin', that l
have jest received a new inv'ice OF
sportin' powder. The grains are so
small you kin sea 'cely see 'em with the
naked eye, and polished up so fine you
kin stand up and comb yer ha'r in
front of one O. them grains jest like
it was a lookin'-glass. Hope you'll
come down to my store at the cross
roads and examine that powder for
yourselves
when we had got about this far
rival powder merchant in the meeting
who had been boiling over with indig-
nation at the amount of advertising

ing a little girl dressed as Columbia,
who carried a large silk flag. AS she
unfurled it the six hundred little Rus
slams repeated in chorus:
Flag of the Republic! Inspirer in
battle, guardian of our homes. whose
stars and stripes stand for bravery,
truth. purity and Union:-We salute
thee! We, the children of many lands
who find rest under thy folds, do
pledge our lives, our hearts and our
sacred honor to love and protect thee,
our country and the liberty of the
American people forever"
At the words, 1--WE salute theew the
arms of all the children were stretch
ed out to the flag, and then folded
upon their breasts. An original pa
triotic song and the "Star-Spangled
Banner" were then sung with great
enthusiasm.
The scene was described as a great
object-lesson which touched the heart
of every child and every spectator.
There is much meaning in the old
story of the woodsman who said, III

A Belle Who Danced With Lincoln.

The Inner Experiences of Cabinet

Ladies' Home Journal. In a series of
letters the wife of cabinet member
writes to her sister of office-seekers and
of those in the departments. You can
have no idea she anonymously de-
clares, "how Henry Cher husband) is
prosecuted by applicants for his influ-
ence with the president or with the
heads Of departments. He really has
no influence outside of his own depart
ment, and he is wearing his sympathies
into tatters listening to tales of woe.
The saddest case that has come under
my own observation is that of maiden
lady, fully fifty years old, who has
worked in the departments ever since
the war. Senatorial influence has kept
her in all these years, but now that the
civil service reforms are being intro
duced she is in despair, for, although
perfectly competent in her work, she
never in the world could pass one of

old families here. don't know wheth-
er her family lost their means by the
war or in some other way, but they did
lose everything when she was gay
girl at the top of society in both Alex
andria and Washington. She told me
about dancing in set of lanciers OPP
posite Abraham Lincoln, who, though
awkward and angular in his dancing,
seemed to enjoy it. and always had a
gay word for everybody. She says her
feeling for Mr.. Lincoln was something
more than respect; it was more like
alteration; that she has often wondered
if people did not feel just so toward the
great religious prophets, who must
have spread abroad what Mr.. Lincoln
did-an atmosphere of sympathetic
kindness, trust, purity and nobility"
