bring such a bride to the house which
old Mrs Marlin. now entering on her
eighties, and presumably needing the
help OF an able and Industrious daugh-
ter-in-law, had kept in immaculate or

unsuitable as to be nearly cruel.
If Liza Tomkins brings her slack

Marlin; you'll see! I've known old

at her age can't brace up to bear do

But old Mrs. Marlin, who had been

very different frame of mind shortly
afterward.

Lincoln and the Wounded.


In the last weeks of the Civil War
President Lincoln Joined the army be-
fore Richmond. His bodyguard on tuat
occasion was Captain John s. Barnns,
who describes Lincoln's great tender
ness OF heart.
"On the train," he says, "to which
cars filled with our wounded men had
been attached, Mr.. Lincoln looked worn
and hhggard. He remarked that no
had seen enough of the horrors OF war,
that he hoped this was the beginning
of the end, and that there would be
no more bloodshed or ruin of homes.

be reiterate the same hope with grave
earnestness

he looked up at me and turned toward
me the back of his head, where bullet
