to take these necessities of state into
consideration and by accepting the view
of the German party give US the pos

this unparalleled struggle, which was
forced upon US for the honor and ex-
istence of our fatherland. Will be rec

Lincoln And
Peter Cartwright

Abraham Lincoln had dramatic
and amusing clash with Peter Cart
wright, the pioneer Methodist minis
ter, that has escaped the thorough
going rakes of the biographers, who
worth narrating. 1t seems that Cart
wright, who was running against
Lincoln for congress, organized q
religious revival meeting in his own
home town in opposition to rival
meeting at which Lincoln was to
speak. Against the advice of his
friends, who knew that his religious
irregularity would make it seem that
he was looking for trouble, Lincoln
attended the Cartwright meeting.
"He sat in a rear seat" says Mr..
Merwin, "and probably his presence
cast a depression over the meeting.
Cartwright spoke powerfully along
evangelistic lines, warning the un-
regenerate Of their danger. Finally
he gave the invitation about as fol-
"'All who desire to lead new
life, to give their hearts to God, and
go to heaven, will stand.'
"A sprinkling of men, women and
children rose. After they were seat
ed the preacher went on:
"'All who do not wish to 60 to hell
will stand.'
"All the audience responded to this
invitation with the exception Of Lin
coin. Whereupon everyone expected
something would happen; and it did.
~ OBSERVE he continued when all
was again still, that many respond
ed to the first invitation to give their
hearts to God and go to heaven. And
l further observe that all of you save
one indicated that you did not desire
to go to hell. The sole exception
continued the preacher, his voice
growing more impressive, lis Mr.. Lin
coin, who did not respond to either
invitation. May l inquire Of you, Mr..
said Cartwright, with great
and in loud voice,
where you are going?

it's full height, and he replied:

DREAMING

l hate to read of millionaires,
Because such reading seems,
To hypnotic me utterly
And start me dreaming dreams.
How many times I've figured out
What I'd be apt to do
If were in that fellows place
And had million, too.
OF course, I'd use my fortune we'll;
More sensibly than he,
For I'd give 10 per cent at least
To worthy charity.
Another 10 per cent would 20
To help along few
Of my deserving relatives
Whose bills are overdue.
And then my duty to the church;
OF course, goodly share,
Say 25 per cent or so
Would be devoted there.
I'd give this latter quietly,
Insisting that my name
Must be withheld, that none might
know
Whence this donation came,
I'd only let the pastor know;
He'd have to know you see,
5ecause my name upon the check
