LINcoLN's SPEECH.

When Mr. Lincoln was elected
president OF the United States, and
upon the day appointed for his leav-
ing, large number of neighbors and
friends assembled at Springfield, his
old home, to see him off. and the
great emancipation made a notable ad-
dress tinged with melancholy and
subdued sadness. lie like other great
men that stand for human rights, did
then carry a heavy load of RESPONSE
bility and doubtless through the maze
of the future he felt some prem onition
Of the sanguinary events that were
about to follow. Anyway. Mr.. Lin
coin was strangely destined never to
return alive to his beloved home of
Springfield again. and this speech is
fraught with significant prophesy.
LincoIn's Farewell.
Address delivered at Springfield,
ILL.,. Feb. IL. 1861:
My Friends-Not one, not in my
situation. can appreciate my feelings
of sadnss at this parting. To this
place and the kidncss OF this people
owe everything. Here l have
passed from young TO an old man.
Here my children have been born and
one IS buried. l now leave, not know
ing when or whether ever l may re-
turn. with a task before me greater
than that which rested upon Wash
ington. Without the assistance of that
divine being who ever attended him,
cannot succeed. With that assist
ance cannot fail,
Trust in Him who can go with me
and remain with you and be every
where for good. let US confidently
hope that all will yet be wei. To
His care commencing you, as I hope
in your prayers you will commend
me, l bid you an affectionate fare
wel."-Pocahontas Independent.
