Lincoln and His Children.

The happiest hours of Lincoln's
gloomy and care-burdened life were
those he spent with his children.
Robert, the Oldest, who had a great
deal Of reserve and self.restraint, was
often something Of puzzle to his
father. The two younger, however,
were Lincolns constant playmates,
and he romped with them as unre-
STRANGELY as only the best OF fathers
can
Tad Lincoln" was. as everybody
knows, his fathers favorite, and this
boy, who was only thirteen years old
at the time Of his fathers death, had
for years previous been his closest
companion.
In the way Of authority or disci-
pline over' his children Lincoln at.
tempted nothing. He was the most
indulgent Of parents, never even re
proving the boys with so much as a
frown. On Sunday mornings, for In
stance, when Mrs. Lincoln attended
church. her husband would take the
two little boys with him to his Of
fee. where they played In an abso-
lutely unrestrained fashion.
The most striking point In all LIN
coins domestic correspondence IL the

And carping and cavil from every side
Dinned in his ears, but he went his
way
And did The strongest that in him lay.

Yet firm in his place as the hemi.

Homely In tenderness, Motherhood's
breast,
Where the new babe cuddles its head

Is not more gentle than was his heart;

ESTIMATES OF LINCOLN.

Looking back, how strange seem the
judgments OF men like Wendell
Phillips in 1862, that Lincoln was
man "of no mind whatever" having
neither insight nor provision nor de-
cision," "a first-rate second-grade
man." to be sure, and "as honest as
the measure of his intellect and the
circumstances of his life allow" and
of Sir George Cornwall Lewis-spokes-
man for the English upper classes
that Lincoln was but a village law
yer"
In due time Wendell Phillips came
to see the intellectual greatness and
moral majesty of the man he had con-
temned and Punch's noble retraction,
Just after Iincolns death, was
prophetic of the tenor of intelligent
British comment since that time
whether based on study of the words
and acts of the great emancipation, or
on personal observation, as in the case
of Sir Edward Malet, who was mem
Der OF the British embassy In Wash
ington. and in whose autobiography we
find this testimony, after long diplo-
matte career. "Of all the great men
have known, he is the one who has
left upon me the impression Of
sterling son Of God. Straightfor-
ward, unflinching, not loving the work
lie had to do, but facing it with bold,
true heart; mild whenever he had a
chance; stern as iron when the pub
lie veal required it; following bee
line to the goal which duty set before
him ."-Harner's Weekly.

His Last Story.

On the evening of his assassination
Lincoln was asked by Marshall La
mon to sign an application for the
pardon of soldier:
"Lamon," he said, have you ever
heard how the Patagonians eat oys-
tiers? They open them and throw the
shells out of the windows until the pile
gets higher than the house and then
they move" Adding: I feel today
like commencing a new pile of par
dons, and may as well begin 1t just
here"

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Bulwark and barbican, grim and tall,
Keep and turret and moated wall,
Portico, peristyle, stately hall,
Palaces, castles, courts and all:
Lofty minaret, lordly dome,
Humble yourselves at the childhood
home
OF Lincoln,
Made of few sticks, clumsily cut;
No window to open, no door to shut;
So wretched, indeed, that the name of
hut
Were gllded praise of its poverty; but
BY the kernel alone we must Judge the
nut.
Who could have dreamed in that early
hour
That out of such muck would have
sprung the flower
A Lincoln!
Reactionaries. who strive, today,
To hold that men are OF differing clay;
oligarchs! plutocrats! we who say
The fathers were wrong, and yea or
nay
May answer Peoples Rights, today,
That some are to rule and some obey,
One plain word shall command your
shame;
Into your faces fling the name
or Lincoln.
Whence did he come? From the rear
most rank
OF the humblest file. Was It some mad
prank
OF God that the mountains were bare
and blank
And the strong tree grew on the low.
Hest bank?
Not so! 'Tis the Law. The seed blows
wide
And the flower may bloom as the gar
den's pride,
Or spring from the ditch. Nor time,
nor place,
Condition or caste, nor cline nor race
Can limit manhood. The proof is the
OF Lincoln
How was he trained-this untaught
sage,
With nothing but want for his heri-
tage?
Set to work at the tender age
Which should have been coming a
primer page
His whole youth spent for a pitiful
wage
As AMMAN, farmer, boatman, clerk;
Learned alone in the school of work
Was Lincoln
What was his power? Not kingly
caste
Nor jingle of gold howsoever amassed
Nor Napoleon's force with the world
aghast;
Not Tallyrand's cunning, now loose,
now fast;
Not weak persuasion or fierce duress,
But strong with the Virtue of Homeli-
ness
Was Lincoln.
Homely in feature. An old style
room,
With It's tall, quaint clock and Its old,
quaint loom,
Has very much of his homemade air.
Plain, but plainness made to wear.
Homely in character. Void Of pretense;
Homely in homeliest common sense,
Homely in honesty. Homespun stuff
For every weather mild or rough.
Homely in hgmor, which bubbled up
Like forest spring in It's earthen cup.
Homely in justice. He knew the law,
But often more than the letter he saw;
And, sheathing the sword to its harm
less hilt
Wrote Pardon" over the blot OF guilt
