The original of this note is in possess

Washington, Pa. Post enlisted when
less than Is years of age, was stricken
with fever shortly after entering the
service, and was sent to a hospital in
Washington. When able to leave his
bed. he requested his captain to allow
him to return home, promising that,

gladly take up his musket and go to the
front. The captain, however, turned =

The president then wrote the note
quoted above, handed it to Post, and,
telling him that would put him through
his troubles, dismissed him with God

him furlough and transportation
home. When he regained his health
and strength he returned to the army

FURLoUoHED BY LINCOLN.
Great President Had Pity on an ALL
ing, Discouraged Soldier Boy
from Pennsylvania.

1t was Abraham Lincoln's rule to re-
ceive callers at the white house from 8
until o'clock, except on days when the
cabinet met, 1t was a rule, however,
more honored in the breach than in the
observance. Visitors found their way
into his presence from early morning
until late at night, and even his sleep
ing hours were not wholly free from
their opportunities. Late in the day,
when the weather and his duties per-
mitted, he drove out for an hours airing.
Almost invariably, some camp or hos
pital was the objective point of the
days ride. He was from the first the
personal friend of every soldier he sent
to the front, and from the first, also,
every soldier seemed to divine, as if by
intuition, that he had Mr.. Lincoln's
heart. Stories of how the president in
terfered personally, to secure some right
or favor for the man afoot, with a gun
on his shoulder steadily found their
way to the army; and, as the war went
on and battle followed battle, the

after the excitement had worn off
a bit, and the boys had rested, they
met and reorganized. Every man said
he wasn't scared up there at Athens;
he just wanted to get away They
laughed over their display of panic,
but were grimly determined it should
never occur again.
"Those men who ran the hardest de-
veloped into the finest soldiers you
ever saw. They Joined the regular
confederate army, and many of them
atoned with their lifeblood for their
scare at Athens, Inconsequential as
the battle was, II gave them in after
days the equipoise OF veterans and
taught them how to stand and be shot
at without flinching."

The Color of Hair.

From the color of mans hair may
be learned good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability, says a professor
who has for some months been closely
studying the subject. School boys with
chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely
to be more clever than any others, and
will generally be found, at the head OF
the class, and in like manner girls with
fair hair are likely to be far more studi-
Gus and bright than girls with dark hair.
In mathematics and recitations these
boys and girls, he asserts. especially ex-
Gel. On the other hand, he says that
boys and girls with brown hair are
most likely to attain distinction through.
their individuality and style, and that
those with red or auburn hair do not
often excel in any respect.
