anniversary of the birth of Abra
ham Lincoln, backwoodsman and
President; rail-splitter and Pilot of
the Ship of State; country lawyer
and Dictator; jester and Statesman;
friend of ehe plain people and Lead
er of Men. This anniversary was
observed all over the land with in
creased admiration for the man as
time throws additional illumination
upon his character. Especially in
Grand Army circles was his memo
ry revived, reviewed and cherished,
with tender "reminiscences. At the
regular meeting of l. N. Nichols
Post of this city Tuesday evening
the greater part of the session was
devoted to the history of Lincoln,
the great War President. Addresses
were given by Comrades Knowles,
VIM, and Reed. BY unanimous
vote the Post endorsed the senti-
ments expressed in the last address
and request that it be published
in the JOURNAL. The article is of
considerable length but we shall
publish it in Difference to this re-
quest if we can possibly find room
for it in the near future.

With plunge and downpour of the 1aboring
Wheel
Where ran the throbbing steamboat Qately
stilled);
With clang OF ringing hammers upon steel,
Across the plain the shock of Empire
thrilled.
Aud man, amid his manors, vast and rough,
By menowing sunsets gloriously impaired,
Filched from the breast of nature bread
enough
world.
But no bright sky, nor sweet scent of the soil,
No childish prattle or glad anthems sound,
Could lift his gaze above his loveless toll,
Or swerve his purpose from the glut of
ground.
Inert, colossal, on the somber plain,
And grossly wallowing like the behemoth,
He strove in blind oblivion to maintain
The rude barbarian grandeur of Goth.
his way;
thousand years with God are but day.
Again the stream Of years with fruitful
showers
Blown from Elysiums topless mountain
slopes,
The boon of rest, and meditative hours,
The swift electric poignancy of hope.
Fair, streaming years! a-thrill with tinkling
strains
or fugitive faint music from the abyss;
The JOY of choirs. and homeside Towering
lanes,
The clean, UPHOLSTERED campus. and then
this.
This, the chaste treasury of the soul real gold,
Exclusive birthright of our human kind;
Safe haven for the wise sweet thoughts of old,
A rich, exhaustless granary Of the mind
And may it not betoken the fair time
When the big, bunglfng things shall pass
away,
When ugliness shall dwell alone with crime
And man shall hasten toward happierday?
For thinkst o soul, that He who woke the
vale
Out of it's Sodden centuries of death
Can in His own good time and fashion fail
TO breathe into this clod immortal breath;
That He who watched the ice-sheet wane away
Into the golden sea of dancing wheat,
Should tire in moulding this Obdurate clay
Into His awful image, more complete?
Ah no! The drifting centuries that sowed
The forested refnements of the East
Shall here in season find the fair abode
Where nature spreads abroad her bravest
feast.
And man, amid fair verdure and tall towns
Touched by q finer force than Aaron's rod
Shall walk, with larks, throughout his spark
ling downs
And lift grateful forehead to his God.
Moon wax, moon wane: man chafes to have
his way;
a thousand years with God are but day.

From the st Croix Observer
EcCentricities OF
Newspaperdom

1t seems to be a mania of young
newspaper men to secure all the
news they can and then publish a
story boasting that they have the.
largest amount of news of any
paper in the territory. To illustrate
our point, we quote the following
from last weeks River Falls Times:
The Times prints more local
news every week than any other
paper published in the western half
of either Pierce or St. Croix county.
But one paper in either county
and that one not in this locality
publishes more local news. In this
instance the excess of news over
that furnished by the Times, is
gained by the large amount of rural
correspondence received from a
large stretch of territory. How
ever, the Times leads all papers in
either county in the amount of city
news furnished. 1t leads again
in the amount of editorial and gen
eral news.
Actual comparison measuring
the columns up and making fair al
| lowance for the difference in the size
of the type used-shows that the
Times prints from one-fourth to a
half more reading matter every
week than any other paper pub
lished in its territory"
When we were young in the bust
ness, we used TO make a stab like
that occasionally, but it's a danger
Gus thing to do. Even if it be true,
it is generally temporary condi-
ton. In this case, the facts dom t
hold up the statements, not even in
the Times own city. BY casual
| perusal of it's contemporary
Journal-we find as much or more
news, and as much or more original
editorial. For that reason it is un-
necessary to make comparison of
the other papers in this territory.
Another point that must be con-
sidered in connection with such a
statement is that it is not SO much
the quantity as it is the quality of
news, which counts.

That Straw Story.

The statement of G. E. Hanson
published in the JOURNAL week be-
fore last that he heated his house
by burning baled straw seems to
have occasioned good deal of in
terest. Some of our exchanges
copy it with tentative interroga-
ton, and number of people went
to Mr.. Hanson's last week to see
how the straw developed caloric
when the mercury was down in the
bulb of the thermometer. Those
who have investigated find that
straw story" no fiction, but even
stranger. But, really there need be
no question about it. When straw
is compacted by great pressure into
a bale it is nearly as solid as wood
and will burn gradually from the
outside. The draft can be regulated
so that only the requisite amount
for needed heat will be burned.
Has any one ever attempted to burn
a book? Did he notice how long it
took to consume it? An instance
of kindling a fire with Webster S
dictionary occurred not a hundred
miles from here number of years
ago. The school house was burned
to ashes but the dictionary was only
about two-thirds consumed. A cir.
cular portion of the book remained
showing the difficulty of burning 9
compact mass of paper.

Moon wax, moon wane: man chafes to have
his way;
A thousand years with God are but day.
In dusky cons when the world was new
And half the earth was like the frozen deep,
The golden plain the gliding river knew
No nobIer function than dreamless sleep.
A sleep, a death, amidst monstrous gloom
or glacial solitudes and stranded foes,
A silence thick and woeful as the tomb,
Beneath the mile-deep mantle Of the SHOWS.
And ceaselessly across the icy waste
The lonely winds OF endless winter prowled
Between the slopes the avalanches raced,
And down the gorge the burdened glacier
growled.
No sun or moon, save for sickly glare
That filtered family from a blotch on high,
Swimming distorted through the frosty air
And sinking, frightened, down the CHASTITY
sky.
No kndlng sunshine, warmth, or living green,
No song Of bird, or whisperings Of flute
Only by day the boundless snowy sheen,
Only by night the spaces vast and mute.
Yet God, from that dread land, forlorn and
bare,
Where desolation held her lifeless sway,
Hid not His face in anger or despair,
Or crushed it's prospects of lovelier day.
For all the grains deep gold the apples red
The blue-bell's azure and the llac's dyes,
He hung in sweet auroral promise overhead,
And kept suspended in the splendid Skies
An age crept by; the fiery sun burst forth;
At last the ice-bound prairies were un
chained;
Lake Agassiz surged grandly toward the north,
Rose to a sea of sapphire, and then waned.
Moon wax, moon wane: man chafes to have
his way;
thousand years with God are but day.
And next the Pioneer. His campfire shone
BY wood and void; he toiled an anxious
while
To seize the rich sea-bottom for his own
And reap the fruitage of the northern Nile.
Breathless behind him pressed the struggling
crowd,
Keen for the grasp of empire; in their eyes
The CLEAN of conquest; in their throats, a loud
Insistent clamor, glorying in the prize.
The cabin rose; the glimmering hearthfre
glowed
Into the west the trampled highway ran,
Trod to the smoothness of Roman road
By countless footprints OF adventurous man.
And hamlets sprang to cities; cities sprang
Into sordid splendor, mammon-led;
The crash Of commerce through the uplands
rang
And sent it's echoes down the winding Red.

A WELLINGTON Ruse.

Once during the Iron Dukes cam
paign in the Pyrenees it happened that
General Picton's disposition for receiv-
ing the assault of Marshal Soult dis
pleased him. The danger threatened
from in front. and the difficulty lay In
delaying the attack until Wellington
could effect the change he wished He
was, as usual, equal to the occasion.
Waving his hat in the air. he galloped
to the front of the regiment as if he
meant to order a charge. The whole of
Picton's line cheered tremendously. and
as the roar died away Wellington was
heard to remark half to himself:
'Soult Is a cautious commander and
will not attack in force without a~cer-
tanning the meaning Of these cheers
That will leave time for the Sixth divi-
sion to come up. and we shall beat
him." This was exactly what happen
ed. and Soult sustained q bloody re-
pulse where he might have won an
easy victory.
