. Christmas Hymn.
(Air, Adestes Fideles).
This is the anniversary
OF our Redeemer's birth;
He came from sin to set us free,
And dwelt with us on earth.
CHORUS
Glory to Him be given,
The chains of sin are riven,
For us He purchased Heaven,
By dying on the cross
He is the Lord of life and light,
Our sins He will efface,
If His graces we'll not slight,
And seek our own disgrace.

KNEW WHERE LINCOLN STOOD
Simple Way in Which He Manifested
His Earnestness.

While was an inmate of Gleason
Sanitarium, Elmira, N. Y, heard the
following anecdote of Abraham Lin
coin. We had at the sanitarium very
old gentleman by the name of q. C.
Robbins. He was of New Hampshire
by birth, but had lived in Washington
for fifty years, his business being
patent lawyer. He was intimately ac-
Quainted with Mr.. Lincoln and was
selected by him as chairman of the
first police commissioners after his in
auguration in 1861. To this Mr.. Rob-
bins l owe the recital of the story to
which have alluded. He said:
After the emancipation proclamation
had been written, it will be remem-
bered, six months were given to the
Confederates to lay down their arms
and come back to the Union, before it
was to go in force. Providing the
South returned to the allegiance to the
Union as of yore, the proclamation
was not to be issued. But God was
working out the destiny of this ma
tion, and not man, and the result is
known to history.
the Republican party. Republicans be-
came alarmed. A tremendous press
ure was brought to bear upon Lincoln
to withdraw the threatened issue of
the proclamation, upon the day fixed.
They declared that it was against the
spirit and wish of the people, and
would ruin the party. Letters came
pouring in from every state in the
Union begging, imploring sometimes
threatening, and it was feared by a
few stanch anti-slavery men of the
country that Mr.. Lincoln could not
withstand the pressure. But he said
nothing, kept his own counsel, and no
man knew his mind.
One day about a week before the
time in which the proclamation was
to go into force, Mr.. Robbins, as was
his privilege, walked into the office of
Mr.. Nicolay, private secretary to Mr..
Lincoln. He was feeling very anx-
ious. for 1t was a dark and gloomy
time for the country. Mr.. Lincoln's
room adjoined that of Mr.. Nicolay, and
while Mr.. Robbins was sitting at an
open fire, talking to Mr.. Nicolay, Mr..
Lincoln walked In, put his hand upon
the shoulder of Mr.. Robbins and said:
well, old friend. the important day
draws near"
Yes" replied Mr.. Robbins, and I
/ hope there will be NO backing down or
backing out ON your part"

which Douglas possessed, says William
G. Brown in the February Atlantic,

the one in LONELINESS, his character
was by the other drawn upward to.

which but for his buffoonery would no.
doubt have made him mad, was the,
source Of his rarest excellencies. Fa--

by sorrow, place of midnight wrest-

other man, were high and low things.

hand on the lads shoulder, he said:

that the President, though great

dNSSS VI SSyiSs
When / first knew Lincoln he had
all the habilimcnts of rusticity; his
hat was innocent of nap; his coarse
boots had no acquaintance with black
ing; his clothes had not been introduce
ed to the whisk-broom; his baggage
was vel worn and dilapidated his
umbrella was substantial, but of
faded green, and for an outer garment
he wore short circular blue cloak,

Weekly. He commenced to dress
better in the spring of 1858, and when
he was absent from home. on political
tours. usually did SO; after he became
President, he had servant who kept
him considerably "slicked up" but he
frequently had to reason him into
fashionable attire by telling him that
his appearance was Official" He
probably had as little taste or style
about dress or attire as any man who
was ever born. He simply wore
clothes because it was needful and
customary; whether they fitted or
looked well was entirely above or be-
meath his knowledge. He had no re-
gard for trivial things, or for mere
forms, manners, politeness, etiquette,
official formalities, fine clothes, rou-
tine or red-tape; he disdained bill
of fare at table, program at a thea
ter, or license to get married. The
pleadings in lawsuit, the formal
compliments on social introduction,
the exordium or peroration of a
speech he either wholly ignored or
cut as short as he could.
In all his political campaigns, the
music, flags and bunting were nothing
to him; he was thinking rather of the
statistics-how many votes were prob
able, and what the tendencies Of
political thought were to change.
