w. D. N.

Lincoln spent the early morning
hours in his rooms at Wizards, and |
remember that among his callers
were David Davis, Thurlow Weed,
Leonard SWEET, Ward Lamon, with
many others not now clear in mem
ory.
The procession began to move
about II o'clock, but it was an hour
and a. half before Buchanan ap-
peared, having been delayed at the
capitol in signing bills, some of
which, it is said, got his signature
after his term Of office had actually
expired.
When all was ready Senators Baker
and Pierce took seats in the carriage
fronting the two presidents, Buchan-
an looking old, gray and haggard;
Lincoln dark and firm, and wearing a
mournful and anxious expression Of
countenance Thus accompanied they
set forth. on their historic ride to the
capitol. Around the carriage were
mounted guards and flying squadron

The Knowledge Of tho ones who SOW
and reap
FNi panoplied, when came his coun-
trys call,
Strong hearted and strong-framed to bear
the woes
Which fell on him the bitterest of all.
And we'll he wrought. and wisely well he
knew
The strain and stress that should be his
alone;
He did the task long set for him to do
This man who came unfavored and un-
known.
We look to-day, not through Gref's mist
of tears,
Not through glamour of nearness to the
great,
But down the long, long corridor of years
Where stand the sentinels of Fame and
Fate,
And now we see him, whom men called
uncouth,
Grown wondrous fair beneath the hand
of Time,
And know the love of liberty and truth
Brings Immortality, and makes sublime.
But, o. this rugged face with kindly eyes
Wherein a haunting sorrow ever stays!
Somehow it seems that through the sor-
row rise
The echoed visions of his other days,
That still we may in subtle fancy trace
The light that led him with prophetic
CLEANS
That here we gaze upon the pictured face
OF one who was boy that lived his
dreams!

only that they compare with Allcock's,

Allcock's are the original and only

to always insist upon having Allcock's.
