ABRAHAM LINCOLN.


Minna Irving in Leslie's.
His was the woodman's rugged frama
A knightly spirit bold,
The simple ways and studious tastes
OF ARchorites Of old.
His hNart was tender with a love
For all humanity;
He heard the walllng of the slaves
And yearned to set them free.
No honest labor ever shamed
His spirit sound and true;
That which lay nearest to his hand
He never failed to do;
Through hardship, toll and bitter pain
He walked, serenely brave,
The narrow upward path that led
To glory and the grave.
Though man q year above hls dust
Has shed its suns and rains
A pattern still for all the world
His memory remains.
And laurel wreath and martyrs crown
Around his name are blent,
And every black he freed is now
His living monument.
