April 15, 1865, was the most unfortunate day in the his tory of the south, during the last half of the nineteenth century. In Abra- ham Lincoln's death she lost her best friend. We are assured that only the day before his death, in a cabinet meeting, he declared that the southern people needed sympathy and not cen sure, and that he would not permit the punishment of southern leaders" :" The great Confederate leader, Gen eral Johnston, said, when he learned of President Lincoln's death: 'The loss is most serious to the people of the south,"
 His great, warm heart yearned for the seeded sisters and he was always sad when the chastening blow of cor rection was struck. His whole heart went out in that one immortal sen tence: With malice toward none, with charity for all" Time has shown the south that he was their true friend and today no northern name is as much loved in all the south as that of Abraham Lincoln.
 You would be surprised, as we were, if you could visit one of the great col leges of England and see that large frame with glass front, enclosing sem tences from Abraham Lincoln. One of them, which we copied, showed most clearly the character of the man. Here 1t is: q am not bound to win, but am bound to be true. l am. not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light have. l must stand with any one who stands right-stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong" The fore going sentiment shows that there went into Abraham Lincoln's composition, in a pre-eminent degree, realization of the supreme value of true, pure, noble manhood, as the determining factor of a mans life.
 Year after year when the veterans of 'e1 to '65 observe Memorial day that brief speech of Lincoln at Gettysburg will be read. Its eloquence. its deep pathos, it's inspiring sentiments will kindle anew in every heart love of country, a genuine patriotism.
 The orator of national renown, Ed ward Everett, was selected to deliver the oration on that occasion and he did well his part. But what he said is hidden away in the libraries, while what Abraham Lincoln said Is ever anew before the American people. In our public schools thousands of girls and boys annually declaim it, enkind- ling in their hearts and those of their schoolmates a love of country such as could be inspired in no other way; while unaided success will inspire them to aim for the best in life.
 For ages after the battle of Ther- mopylae, every Greek school child was taught to recite the names of the 900 heroes who fell in defense of that pass. And in the Athens of today We found

For years after Lin coln's election as president, this paper most mercilessly, most scurrilously, most unjustly abused and caricatyred him. But, as this editor studied Pres ident Lincoln's life, his work, his achievements. his noble character, his success as president, abuse changed to praise.
 After President Lincoln's death. the editor penned the verses I shall quote, showing what he had been. "a scurril- ous jester" but that he had changed to be an ardent admirer: Beside the corpse that has for winding

 From the Atlantic to the Pacific and over the oceans of the east and the west the pages in the history or this great man have been turned over to- day and read by millions. showing a record brilliant and stormy; days of deep sorrow and severe trial, of holy trust and glorious triumph.
 He came to us 100 years since as a babe. More than two score years have passed since his bodily presence left us, but in his life, in his noble char acter. as the Hberator of his race, as the preserver of the republic, as a mar tyr to his convictions of the right, he lives today. as in '61 to '65.
 His humble birth. his early life struggle, his triumph in the battle of life, his tragic death, will ever be re- membered by the world and he will forever live as one of her grandest men, his fame the treasure of the hu- man race; while in nearer and dearer sense, to us as Americans he will ever live as long as rivers flow out to the sea and old ocean lifts her waves to the storms, aye "Till the sun grows cold, and the stars are old. and the leaves of the judgment book unfold" the flag of Washington and Lincoln will wave in triumph.

Occasionally Merrihew caught some
daring beauty's eye and usually there
followed q conversation, familiar to all
ages and to all people, confined to the
eyebrow; the eyelid and the merry
little wrinkles in the corner. When
my spoke to him, however, and many
did, for his face was fresh and
pleasing, he would reply in English that
he spoke no French, regretfully.

and placed it ON black. Again she
won. Then fortune packed up and
went elsewhere. She lost steadily, win

gave no sign, however, that her forces
were in full retreat from the enemy.
She played on, and the hand which

was all gone, she opened her empty
hands expressively and shrugged. She
