they had nothing but a backwoodsman
to deal with.
In four years he had struck out,
though surrounded with difficulties
such as no other statesman, except
perhaps William the Silent or Cayour,
has ever had to contend with, a policy
of which the whole country has ac-
knowledged the wisdom.
His measures for the destruction Of
the confederation had been crowned
with success, and his plan of pacifca-
ton had received the emphatic APPROX
al of both parties at the north, and he
had secured a hold on the respect and
affection Of the great body of the peo-
pie which no president before him, ex-
cept Washington, had ever possessed,
and it is even doubtful whether Wash
ington occupied as high a position
among his contemporaries.

They knew that outward grace 10
dust;
They could not choose but trust
In that SUR footed minds unfaItering
skill
And supple tempered will
That bent like perfect steel to spring
and thrust.
HE wal no lonely mountain peak Of
mind,
Thrustins to thin air Ger our cloudy
bars,
A sea mark now-now lost in vapors
blind;
Broad prairie, rather, genial, level
lined,
Fruitful and friendly for all human
kind,
Yet also nigh to heaven and loved Of
Hottest stars.
Nothing of Europe here
Or, then, of Europe fronting mornward
still
Ere any names of serf and peer
Could Natures equal scheme deface
And thwart her genial will.
Here was a type of the true elder
race,
And one Of Piutarch's men talked with
US face to face.
| praise him not; il were too late.
And some innative weakness there
must be
In him who c~ondescends to victory
Such as the present gives and cannot
wait,
Safe in himself as in a fate.
So always firmly he.
He knew to bide his time
And can his fame abide,
Still patient in his simple faith SUBJ
lime,
Till the wise years decide.
Great captains with their guns and
drums
Disturb our Judgment for the hour,
But at last silence comes.
These all are gone and, standing like a
tower,
Our children shall behold his fame
The kindly, earnest, brave, foreseeins
man,
Sagacious, patient, dreadins praise, not
blame,
New birth of our new soil, the first
American.

LincoIn's Life a Sermon.

Lfncoln's whole career is a doctrine
itself, the doctrine of American de-
mocracy. His life Is a sermon which
is to preach to us that wherein human
success truly consists, and his hallow-
ed memory is to be a perennial inspi-
ration to develop u possibilities and
especially to revere the function Of the
man of politics of whom we have re-
Gently been inoculated with so much
contempt-the man OF politics In Amer
lean life. His name is a synonym Of
American democracy. He himself was
the best truth on which the nation rests
upon the confidence In the masses Of
the peoplc.-Rev. DR.. Samuel Schulman-

did you expect anything else Of old

Il didn't"
"As your father. | canno help being

has done nothing but whine and make
weak threats and stay half intoxicated
ever since Sledge shook him away
from the complacent safety of his few
thousands"

pointed out. MOLLY. ] think Sledge
proved a very good case against Bert.
He called him a pinhead."
Molly wanted to smoker. but she was
indignant instead.
That's better than being a fathead,"
she retorted. That's what Bert calls
Sledge. 1t seems to me that they're
about even"
That's where they stop being even,"
declared Marley. "Sledge threatened
to break Bert and did it Bert threat

him to it."
that's my fault" she half angrily
acknowledged. IL Dragged"
Bert led you to think you might"
he countercharged. He even had me
believing that l could defy Sledge, and
it can't be done, Molly. That mans
too big, too decisive and too fearless.
The minute he found that Bert, and,
through him, you and l, knew that
Feeder would prove Sledge's guilt in

fool thing to do, though. Feeder has
exposed him and saved us the trouble.
and Sledge probably will go to the
~penitentiary, as told him he would"
"You have innocent IDEAS" kindly
observed her father. Bert probably
encourages you in them. but it is my
| duty to warn and protect you. Here
is exactly what will happen: Feeder
will go to the penitentiary for the
crime of not having kept his mouth
shut. Sledge will be indicted by the
grand jury. but the case will never
come to trial. He has appointed half
the Judges on the bench. and the other
half are afraid of him. His lawyers
will fight from court to court on one
technicality after another until cleo

man like that"

me to do-marry him?"
YES" was the unexpected reply.
"Great goodness" laughed Molly.

Christmas time about her head. 1t
went for the mail. True, hers had
been brought to her. but going to the
Office was a time honored custom. and,
besides, this was a holiday.
The cold flushed her cheeks, and Joy
put a sparkle In her eyes. Some one
I'm a long overcoat was coming to-
ward her. Now, a strange, wild I'M
pulse made her want to turn, to run,
to escape, from what she did not know.
But IL was too late. Before her was
the young farm hand, now the success
full California orange grower, whom
her father had spurned-
"Why. it's Betty" an old, familiar
voice was saying. Nobody had called
her just plain Betty in twenty-five
years.
Il heard your talk last night" she
said as she extended her hand. "and
enjoyed 1t very much"
"And you didn't come up to speak
to meTr he chided In r%eproachful tones.
Il did not think you would remember
me-" she said as her face flushed.
why, Betty, you had a red shawl
just like that the night We went on
the hay ride" he said. Its immense

But she interrupted him. Il want
to thank you for all that
"Now, never mind about my speech"
he self consciously broke In. You
Just ought TO come TO California your
self and see what kind of a country
we've got out there"
In Miss Betty's heart was echoing
that ardent "Oh. come with me away,
away" and, having not a doubt as to
the sender of the valentine, she said,
do you really want me to go with
you, AmosT'
Now 1t suddenly struck Amos that
he did, and he wondered why he had
not thought of 1t before. So the vehe-
ment affirmative of the reply was In
proportion to the suddenness Of the
impulse.
And to this day the little Indy, still
prim. shy and difident. but smiling as
the roses In her California garden, does
not know that 1t was she who pro-
posed. for Amos Bailey Is too gallant
a gentleman to tell her that he did not
send that precious Cupid compound.

LINCOLN THE LEARNER.

hesitation which marked
Lincoln's policy in the first
year of his administration and
which caused him to lag very
often so far behind the more ardent OF
his supporters has been acknowledged
even by those whom it most irritated
to have been simply the hesitation of
a man unused to his position, but who
was conscious of his deficiencies and
determined to commit no error through
inexperience, wrote Edwin L. Godkin.
And all admit the profound wisdom,
the intimate knowledge Of the people
with whom he had to deal, displayed
In his determination from first to last
to be behind rather than in advance
of the popular sentiment. And he
grew up to the level of his responsible
tiles with a rapidity perhaps never
equaled.
He knew how defective his training
and education were, how little his pre-
vious course of life had done to fit
him for his position, and to what a
storm of hate and malignity he ex-
posed himself. and yet he never
finched.
he was never guilty of the smallest

And loyalty to truth be scaled

So bountiful 10 Fate.
But then to stand beside her
When craven churis dsride her,
To front a lie in arms and not to yield
This shows, methinks, Gods plan
And measure Of q staIwart man,
Limbed like the old heroic breeds
Who stand self poised on manhood's

Fed from within with all the strength
he needs.
Sue was he, our martyr chief,
Whom late the nation he had led,
With ashes on her head,
Wept with the passion of an angry
grief.
Forgive me if from present things !
To speak what in my heart will beat
And hang my wreath on his world hon.

Nature, they say, doth dote
And annot make a man
Save on some wornout plan,
Repeating us by rote.
For him her old world moIds aside she
threw,
And, choosing sweet clay from the
breast
OF the unexhausted west,
With stuff untainted shaped a hero
new,
Wise, steadfast in the strength of God
and true.
How beautiful TO see
Once moro a shepherd Of mankind, in

Who loved his charge, but never loved

One whose meek flock the people joysd

Not lured by any cheat of birth,
But by his clear grained human
worth
And brave old wisdom Of sincerity
