The anniversary Of the birth Of Abraham Lincoln
was celebrated in several Of the large cities IN the
North and West Monday night by appropriate sym
posiums and banquets. A large number Of distns
cuished men took part In the celebratiOn including
oficiaIs Of the government. Mr.. Lincoln was g
great man, and this fact IL being more generally
recognized each year by those in the Sonth who op
posed him and his policies during the great war
which tore the nation asunder for four years. II
"a right generally admitted that had Mr. Lincoln

In your summer Of youth, in that sunny hour
That will come to you never again,
When you wooed your love, as the bee the flower,

You have hived and stored for your later life,
And your heart is the honeycomb-
Ah!I've seen your face when you kissed your wife
In thel light of the lamp at home.

With your sweetheart of long ago.

But you need not yearn for the glamour and gold
Of the fields you were wont to roam
O the light for the hearts that are growing old
Is the light Of the lamp at home.
