HARMONY A MATTER OF TIME.

Some Facts That PIighted Lovers
Should Remember.
The harmonizing of the PERSONAL
ties of even the best mated couples is
usually a work of time. Before they
can learn readily to make those little
concessions which keep two natures
in harmony there is generally more
or less twanging of false chords, and
if these false notes can be eliminated
before marriage so much the better.
Besides it is more difficult to sink
ones. pride before marriage than
after, and the object lesson is, accord
ingly, the more valuable, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Quarrels, it should be remembered,
are ills which fall to the lot of most
of us. They should be treated care
fully and quickly, as one treats a cut
anger. Neglected, cut finger may
lead to serious complications, endan-
gering ones life. In tthe same way
little quarrels may endanger ones
life happiness: . Ia d. d s.4s....s

the foolish mistake of parting at once
without allowing time for reflection.
If two people become separated and
can still think with affection of each
other. after two or three years alb
sence they are fitted to marry. 1t Is
foolish and absurd to allow pride to
stand in the way.
Love renewed is better than first
love, more sincere. It is love that is
refined by years of reflection and il
the golden output of pure affection.

Lincoln is inaugurated President:
the civil war ehsues;s and with it an
extraordinary development of the
executive power. II is an interesting
fact that the ruler Ola republic which
sprang from resistance to the Eng.
lish king and parliament should ex.
ercise more arbitrary power than any
Englishman since Oliver Cromwell,
and that many of His acts should be
worthy of Tudof Lincoln was a
good lawyer who rkVerenced the con.
stitution and the Claws, and only
through necessity Assumed and exer-
cised extra-legaIpoWers, trying at the
same time to givas to these actions
the color of legality. Hence his theory
of the war power df the constitution,
which may be s5construed to permit
everything necessary to carry on the
war. Yet, his, dictatorship was diff
ferent from Caesar's and different
from the absolute aauthority of Ma

the period. Indeed, none Of Lincoln's
authentic pictures suggest the outland-
ish garbs in which he is pictured for
some reason or other in the popular
mind. Perhaps because SO shown by
the average cartoonist.
In the collection of H. w. Fay, of
De Kalb, ILL.,, is probably the earliest
portrait of Lincoln with beard. 1t
was taken early in 1861. His face was
smooth until about the end of 1860,
and when he first allowed his beard
to grow it was the subject of much
public comment 1t seems pity that
he ever thus disfgured himself, as his
beard, instead of improving his ap-
pearance, hid his strong chin and also
added to the almost distressed express
sion which his face constantly wore
while in repose in later life.
Justice Mitchell has in his collec-
ton two other interesting portraits of
Lincoln. One is an idealized bust, now
but little known. 1t was executed by
John Sartain, the noted engraver, dur
