his hand was on her shoulder.

Nothing more was said, and a little

ELIZABETH came down the walk
with hands folded complacently

dately, because her sense of dignity
forbade skipping for JOY, as her feel

two years since father had gone to the
war, she wore a gown and cloak and

No trace of suffering marked thy placid

No groan, no murmuring plant, escaped

No lowering shadows on thy brows were
hung;
But calm in Christian hope, undamped
with fear,
Thou sawest the high reward of virtue

AS thy firm hand thine eyes expiring

Pleased, to the will of Heaven resigned thy

And smiled as Natures struggles closed

A Story Of Lincoln.

DR.. D. B. Hill, who lived in
Springfield Ill, from 1886 to 1S43
tells this characteristic story of
Abraham Lincoln, with whom he
was personally acquainted Once
Lincoln was defending man who
was accused of cheating another
man in a business deal. Lincoln
was arguing before the jury that
his client had no intention to de-
fraud when the transaction occur
ed; in fact, he never thought he
was cheating the man. Pointing
his finger at Judge Logan, his
partner, he said: "Any boy you
meet in the street knows how to
put on his clothes. Now all know
that Judge Logan is learned in
law, and nobody would accuse
him of doing wrong. You will OBJ
serve he has his shirt on with the
wrong side in front. Now, the
Judge never intended to do that
when he put his shirt on. If my
client has done anything wrong,
he never intended to do so any
more than Judge Logan intended
to put on his shirt with the back
in front" Sure enough, Judge
Logan had his shirt on wrong,
and the use Lincoln made of his
partners mistake in dress caus-
ed the client to get off free.

Saved His Life By Repartee.

A Pontiac roofer saved his life
recently by his aptness at repair
tee. He was out on the roof of the
insane asylum at Pontiac making
some repairs, within a foot of the
caves. Suddenly the noise of his
hammer was interrupted by
voice behind him, calmly saying:
"Well, come on! Let's jump
down together"
The roofer turned and saw a
maniac standing behind him. The
glitter in the madman's eye made
the roofer look with a feeling of
dread at the ground below, realiz-
ing that there was no escape.
The roofer concealed his fright
a moment. He even smiled con-
temptuously as he looked into the
maniac's face.
"Huh!" he remarked. "Any
blamed fool could jump down.
But let's go down and try to jump
up!"
"Say, that's an ideal" exclaim-
ed the insane man. "Come on.
Let's go down and try it," And
he led the way to the trap door in
the roof.
