Fred Douglass and Lincoln.

Fred Douglass told me when ho camo to
speak that with all his long experience,
he never could entirely rid himself Of stage
fright During tho first b minutes when
front an audience, he said my knees
will knock together" But when he got
fairly going this not uncommon nervous
ness, which all speakers have sometimes
felt, would pass awny. He put his points
well in any argument, and his oloquencc
was of high order. His tribute In one
sentence to Abraham Lincoln is an un,
surpassed compliment. mir. Lincoln, y

do il no one can tell, but thcy have been
in the habit of doing it for good many
hundred years. For this reason when the

grandfathcrs years and years ago were
having grand times in their games they
too, kept dropping their "h's' from the

played tag Us boys do now, touching zach

hit another he at once shouted out
"You're it," for no could not say hit"

Proclaimed again his cruel sway,
Yet early blossoms smile and say,
Don't worry"
Don't worry, though the noontide find
Your footsteps faltering.
Tho morn's glad hopes left far behind
Tho day its Joy shall bring.
When sunsets radiant curtains fall,
Sleeps angel, ready at the call
OF night, shall whisper low to all,

Don't worry, though with little good
Your eager quest seem fraught.

Has strivon as he ought.
