A PRAYER FOR STRENGTH.
LlncoIn's Search far Wisdom al the
Throne of Grace.


A clergyman came to Washington
from a little village in central New
York to recover the body Of a gal
liant young captain. who had been
killed In the second battle of Bull
Run. Having ACCOMPLISHED his errand,
he was presented at the White House
by the representative from his dis
trict. end the narrative o. his inter-
view with the President was found
among hl3 Papers after his death,
twenty-five years later. He relates
that. having introduced him TO the
preri1a,t lie congressman retir d,
leaving him as;e with Mr.. Lincoln,
who asked what he could do for him.
II have not Gene 10 ask any favors
Of you, Mr. President, the latter re-
piled. 4 hGge emily come to say that
the loyal people CT the North are sus-
tanning you. and will continue to do
SO. We are giving YOU all that we
have--the lives Of our sons as well
as our confidence and our prayers.
You must know that no pious father
or mother ever kreels in prayer these
days without asking God to give you
strength and wisdom.
The tears filed Lincolns eyes as
he thanked his visitor and said: But
for those prayers should have fal.
tered and perhaps failed long ego
Tell every father and mother you
know to keep on PRAYING and will
keep on fighting. for ! am sure that
God is on our side"
As the clergyman started to leave
the room Lincoln held him by the
hand aud said II suppose may
consider his a sort Of pastoral call"
Yes replied the clergyman.
"Out in our country" continued
Lincoln. when a parson made q pas
toral call It was always the custom
for the folks 10 ask him 10 lead in
prayer. and should like 10 ask you
to pray with me today pray that |
may have strength and wisdom
The two men knet side by side be-
fore settce and the clergyman
offered the most feryent appeal to the
Almighty Power that ever fell from
his lips. As they rose Lincoln graspcd
his visitors hand and remarked, in
a satisfied sort OF way:

Our Carbonate correspondent this
morning tells of the selection of the
Republican ticket for this the (25thl
congressional district, to be voted for
at the primaries to be held April 2nd
The ticket is as follows: For con
gressman. Geo W. Smith, of Jackson
county; for member of the state board
OF equalization. Henry Ii. Kohn. Of
Unin county and Carroll Moore. Of
Franklin county; for delegates to the
national convention. Chas O. Pater,
Of Alexander; C R. Davis, of Perry;
w. o. Potter, Of Williamson. and
Frank 7. Joyner, Of jackson. II the
rest of the ticket Is as good as the
Cairo end Of 1t, there cant be much
said against it from personal point
Of view. Mr.. Patier Is one of our rep
resentative young business men, who
seems destined to become as influ.
ential as his father was before him.
II Is evident, however. that the voters
are not to have much choice in the
matter of selecting candidates at the
primaries. Ia the matter Of congress
man they are forced to take Mr.
Smith or nobody, and one wonders
what's the use holding a primary
election. anyway? Why not let the
caucus fix it all up for keeps and
not bother the people about it at all?
