The

CURPRlSE has often been expressed
- that so many of our public men are
unprofessed Christians. Lincoln un-
til the last days of his life was such, and
yet he believed, no doubt, the principal
tenets of the Christian faith, at least
those he expressed in the Apostles creed.
His life was pure and if black spot
ever stained his character the historical
cynic has failed to put it on his printed
pages. During his administration as
president one of the lady members of
the Christian commission had several
interviews with him in regard to certain
government matters concerning the
cause she represented. At the close of
one of these interviews Mr.. Lincoln
said to her:
Madam, have formed high opin-
Ion of your Christian character, and
now, as we are alone. have a mind to
ask you to give me, in brief, your idea
of what constitutes Christian
Her reply was at some length, but, in
substance, she said that it consisted of
a conviction of ones own sinfulness and
"N~~A>AS9o 1AO ZIG pei oOAdl u0cO VI
Christ as Saviour. She said that views
in regard to doctrine might and did diff
fer, but when one was really brought to
feel his need of Divine help, and to seek
the aid of the Holy Spirit for strength
and guidance, it was satisfactory evil
dence of his having been born again.
Mr.. Lincoln listened to her with deep
attention and visible signs of emotion.
and when she had concluded said: IF
what you have told me is really a correct
view OF this great subject, think can
say, with sincerity, that I hope that I
am Christian. had lived, until my
boy Willie died, without realizing fully
these things. That blow, however, over
'whelmed me. 1t showed me my weak
ness as I had never felt it before. If I
can take what you have stated as test,
think can safely say know some
thing of that change of heart of which
you speak. And will further add that
it has been my intention for some time,
at suitable opportunity, to make a
public religious profession"
In many of his utterances, and in
many of his documents, the president
showed his trust in Divine providence
and his religious nature In a cabinet
meeting during the darkest days of the
war he said to Secretary Chase: 81

we would call beautiful. McNally made
up his mind that the land needed birds.
SO he built him an aviary and imported
many hundreds of his feathered friends.
Once q year he would open the doors of
his aviary and let the young birds fly
whithersoever they would, and in 4
short time, the whole country was popu.

variety. Of hue and song. His example
was followed by Joseph Grinnell and
Mrs. Grfnnell, both of whom, are ardent

birds that were imported came from

THE BOY AND THE COON

Imagination, using his name to give
force to their attempts at wit. Mr.
Lincoln was the purest-hearted man
with whom l ever came in contact"
After the confederacy had been
crumbled into ruins and Jefferson
Davis, its president, had been cap
tured, and confined, the govern
ment was worried with the ques-
ton as to what they should do with him,
and it came to be pretty general re-
mark that I'VE had an elephant on our
hands," He was guilty Of treason and
hanging was the punishment for this
crime, but there were few of our states
men who favored that, although it was
hard to see how they could consistently
give him his liberty. One day a leading
minister called on Mr.. Lincoln and
asked him what he was going to do with
jeff Davis.
"Well," said Mr.. Lincoln, II believe
I can answer that question by telling
you story. There was once boy in
Springfield who bought coon, which,
after the novelty wore of, became a
great nuisance. One day, after he had
been dragging the coon through the
streets with rope attached to the ami
malls collar, he sat down on the curb
stone completely tagged out and dis
consulate. A man passing by stopped
and asked him wha. was the matter.
Oh was the reply, the coon is such a
trouble to me- Why don't you get rid
of him, them said the gentleman.
HUSH replied the boy, don't you see
that he is gnawing his rope off? am
going to let him do it. Then I'll go home
and tell the folks that he got away"
During the course of the war a friend
asked Mr.. Lincoln one day how many
men the confederates had in the field.

prompt and decided reply. The inter-

AN INDIAN TRADITION.
Romantic Tale Accounting for the
Origin of Corn, Wheat and
Tobacco.

Il have been favored with an Indian
tradition concerning the origin of to-
bacco, Indian corn and wheat, which.
although you may have seen it before,
l shall relate said the poet laureate Of
all the Pascagoulas, reports the New
Orleans Times-Democrat.
AT some distant period. two Indian
youths, pursuing the pleasures of the
chase, were led to remote and unfre-
quented part of the forest, where, be-
ing fatigued and hungry, they sat down
to rest themselves and to dress their
victuals. While they were thus en-
ployed the spirit of the woods, attracted
as it is supposed by the unusual and
savory smell of the venison, approached
them in the form of beautiful female.
and seated herself beside them. The
youths, awed by the presence of so
superior being, and struck with graf
itude for the, condescension, which she
had shown them in becoming their
guest, presented her in the most re-
spectacle manner a share of their re-
past, which she was pleased to accept,
and upon which she RECALLED with seem
ing satisfaction.
"The repast being finished. the fe-
male spirit, having thanked them cor
daily for their attention, and Informed
them that if they would return to the
same place after the revolution of ~
moons, they would find som thing which
would recompense their kindness, dis
appeared from their sight. The youths,
having watched the revolving moons,
and having returned at the appointed
time, found that upon the place on
which the right arm of the goddess
had reelined an ear of Indian corn had
sprung up; under her left. staff of
wheat, and from the spot on which she
had been seated was growing a -four
ishing plant of tobacco"

Lincoln and His BOYS.

1t was frequent custom with Lincoln,
this OF carrying his children on. his
shoulders. He rarely went down street
that he did not have one of hisyounger
boys mounted on his shoulder, while
another hung to the tail Of his long coat.
The antics of the boys with their, ia
Their, and the species of tyranny they ex-
ercised over him, are still subjects of
talk in Springfield: Mr.. Roland Diller
who was a neighhor of Mr.. Lincoln, tells
one OF the best of the stories. He was
called to the door one day by hearing q
great noise Of children, and there was
Mr.. Lincoln striding by with the boys
both Of whom were wailing aloud.
Why, Mr.. Lincoln, what's the matter
with the boys?" he asked. z.@:z

whole world, 4 Lincoln replied. ..I,ye

She hears the sound of an approaching

Nancy's services as switchtender
for the traction company were at first
voluntary. She observed that the mo-
tormen would be required to leave the
cars and throw the switch themselves.
One day she procured a pick-handle.
carved one end of it down to point,
and with this she would slide the switch.
The motormen and conductors, in an
probation of this labor, would almost
daily give her small tips. One day the
superintendent saw the girl performing
the work, and a few days later he sent
her switch bar which she now uses
and recommended the company to give
her compensation. She now receives
small stipend on pay days.
