A Lincoln Birthday Poem.

Nathan Haskell Dole contributes to the
February number of The North Ameri-
can Review an ode entitled Banner
Memories: A Lincoln's Birthday Poem. -
Mr.. Dole apostrophizes the flag Of the
United States which symbolizes the Union
for the preservation of which Lincoln
strove, and he pays tribute to Lincoln
as the commissioned leader sent to
guide his people through the wilderness.
He writes:
"When in the seeming fatal ambush pent,
His courage babe him, victory-haloed, onward
press.
His heart was firm, his arms were stayed;
Encouragement in vain assalled;
Defeat still left him undismayed;
And thus the long hard passage to the Prom
ised Land,
In spite of cruel and malicious prophecies
And traitors evil offices,
Was made as his great heart and mind had
planned.
yet, like the earlier Moses, he was not allowed,
With those he rescued from the foe, to stand
with swift temptation to be proud)
Upon the sacred soil.
His was the burden and the toll;
And when the grapes of Eshcol purple clus-
tering,
The smiling pastures of the violet hills,
The fertile plains the shade-dspersing trees,
The cooling waters of the sweet fresh rills,
The fragrance of the blossom-sweeping breeze,
The sleepy murmur of the honey storing bees,
After the desert storms clustering,
Offered their riches and he might find rest,
The assassins weapon smote his friendly
breast!''

people of Tennessee been so stirred as
they are today over this great victory
for prohibition and the recent assassina-
ton of ex-United States Senator Car
mack by the whiskey ring. The rum
element may shoot down in cold blood
our great leaders, but the liquor business
remains one of the greatest questions to
he met and to be settled, not only i'll the
South but throughout our nation today.
Any weakening on our part in Name, the
Home of Prohibition, on this great
question would only react against pro-
hibition in other States, which would be
deplorable and a source of deep sorrow
among the Christian and moral people
throughout the civilized world. Away
with your plebiscite nonsense on the tenn
perance question, the Godfearing people
of our commonwealth don't want any
such thing. Maine must stand firm for
prohibition and drive every saloon from

altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot dedi-
cate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here have
consecrated it far above our power to
add or detract. The world will little
note, nor long remember, what we say
here, but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work that they have thus far so nobly
carried on. 1t is rather for US to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us-that from these honored dead
we take increased devotion to the cause
for which they gave the last full measure
of devotion; that we here highly resolve
that the dead shall not have died in vain;
that the nation shall, under God, have a
new birth of freedom, and that the
government of the people, by the people
for the people shall not perish from the
earth.

WOMEN WORK FOR LINCOLN
Huge Humane Plant May Live Forever In
His Name. $4,000 Already Raised To-
ward Half Million Fund.

ward Half Million Fund.
New YORK, February 8th. Solely
through the efforts of a dozen earnest
women, more than $4,000 has since
Christmas time been received toward
making the Lincoln Hospital and Home
IN this city perpetual monument to
Abraham Lincoln on the hundredth an
nlversary Of his BIRTH With more than
four times that sum still to be added to
the half million fund needed for this
living memorial, these woman mana
gers OF the institution are now hoping
that their project will succeed. Relying
on ready response from the women of
the land, as we'll as from each admirer
of the martyred president and friend of
the race he emancipated, they declar-
ed to-day that the measure of the
country's offering should only be limit
ed by the extent to which their
simple story became known
Forty-four hundred white and colored
patients have in the last year alone oc-
cupied the beds of this second largest
hospital institution in Greater New
York, the records show to-day, while al
most hundred and fifty thousand days
OF expert treatment have been furnished
tree to poor and friendless members of
both races alike. In the last ten years
more than million and half days of
free treatment have been given to the
needy patients of this institution, which
1t is proposed to endow to Lincoln s
memory
TWenty-one young colored women,
trained as nurses according to the best
professional standards, are to-day leav-
ing the Lincoln Hospital and Home to
carry on its work in many sections of the
country. From the training school of
the institution at which these girls have
just been graduated hundred such negro
nurses have in the last ten years been
sent to give the profession and their own
people throughout the country the bene-
tit OF their experience. With scores of
these Lincoln graduates being spread
over the country year after year, the
medical authorities here believe great
good will result in helping solve the
problem of national health.
Many of the former patients and poor
err friends Of this work, which it is pro-
posed to make live in Lincoln's name,
have to-day volunteered to aid the New
York women who have undertaken the
direction of the national memorial move
ment. Graduate nurses, working in the
great winter resorts and among the
coored people of the south, are this week
circulating dime coin cases to be filled,
each with dollar in silver, and returned
to swell the half million dollar fund on
Lincoln's birthday. Substantial checks
and bills of all denominations are already
beginning to be received by Samuel
Sloan, who has been placed in charge of
the memorial fund at ATS Fifth Avenue
in this city. The committee who have
undertaken to accomplish this national
Lincoln project are: Miss Mary W. Booth,
Mrs. Arthur c. James, Mrs. A. D. JUL
lard, Mrs. Henry L. Stimson, Mrs.
Frank H. Platt, Mrs. Samuel c. Van
Dusen and Mrs. Samuel Sloan, Jr.

LINCOLN.

Earth held to him. The rough hewn form,
Looming through that unnatural Storm
Hnted the rude, mixed mould
Ere chaos loosed her hold;
A lone, wind beaten hilltop tree,
His that pathetic majesty;
Forlorn even in his mirth,
His roots deep in the earth.
Earth's is he yet. When from the hill
The warm gold flows, and hollows fill,
The sunlight shines his fame,
The winds blaze Lincoln's name.
Ay, Earth's he is; not hers alone.
Blood of our blood, bone of our bone,
Love folded him to rest
Upon a peoples breast.

NOW.

If you have kind word-say it;
Throbbing hearts soon sink to rest;
If you owe kindness-pay it,
Lies sun hurries to the west.
Can you do kind deed?-do it,
From despair some soul to save;
Bless each day as you pass through it,
Marching onward to the grave.
If some grand thing for tomorrow,
You are dreaming, do it now;
From the future do not borrow,
Frost soon gathers on the brow.
Days for deeds are few, my brother;
Then, today, fulfil your vow,
If you mean to help another,
Do not dream lido it now.
