LINOOLN'S MEULANOHOLY.
#is Sympathetic Nature and His
Early Misfortunes.
Those who saw muoh of Abraham
Lincoln during the later years of his
life, were greatly impressed with the
expression of profound melancholy his
face always wore in repose.
Mr. Lincoln was of a peculiarly gym
pathetic and kindly nature. These
strong characteristics influenced, very
happily, as it proved, his entire po-
titioal career. hey would not seem,
at first glance, to be efficient aids to
political success; but in the peculiar
emergency which Lincoln, in the
providence of God, was called to meet,
po vessel of common olay could possi-
bly have become the ‘chosen of the
Lord.”
Those acquainted with him from
boyhood knew that early griefs tinged
his whole life with sadness. iis
tner im the grocery business at
em was “Uncle” Billy Green, of
Tallula, I11l., who used at night, when
the customers were few, to hold the
grammar while Lincoln recited hus les-
sons.
It was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln
told the story of his love for sweet Ann
Rutlidge; and he, in return, offered
what comfort he could when poor Ann
died, and Lancoln’s great heart nearly
broke.
“After Ann died,” says ‘Uncle”
Billy, ‘“‘on stormy nights, when the
wind blew the rain against the roof,
elbows on his knees, his face in his
his fingers. I hated to see him feel
bad, an' I'd say, ‘Abe dou't ery’; an’
he'd look up an’ say ‘I can't help it,
Bill, the rain’'s a fallin’ on her.’”
There are many who can sympathize
when
What adds
think of a lost loved one,
rain’s a fallin’ on her.”
the thought that the lost one might
have been saved.
writes June 1890: “Last
ary, on returning from church one
aight, my daughter complained of hay-
mga pain in her ankle. The pain
radually extended until her entire
mb was swollen and very paintul to

commenced to improve. When she
commenced taking it she could not

her hands a little, but to-day she is as
well as she ever was, I believe 1 owe

The Story of a Little Book.
The recent death of Oliver Bell
Bunce, in New York, removed one of
the very best posted men in literary
circles. Few men knew so many su-
thors as did Mr. Bunce; for over forty
years he came into continual contact
with them. Mr. Bunce was the author
of that clever Iittle manual “Don't,”
which has reached a sale of over 150,-
000 copies in its different editions here
and abroad. Few little books of its
kind are better than this; in fact, I
doubt if it has an equal in worth, al-
though its imitators can be counted by
the score. I recall Mr. Bunce telling
me one evening how he came to write

gan his odd literary task, ideas crowd-

a month, the little work, which bas
since carried its terse morsels of practi-
cal advice and good sense into thou-
sands of Hohl, was written, print
ed and published. The nom de plume
of “Censor” was placed on the fly-leaf,
and for a long time public curiosity
was piqued as to the authorship,
ally, it leaked out that Mr. B. was re-
sponsible for the authorship. The
bright, little book has now heen trans-
lated into several languages and sells as
steadily as when first published.
A Karpin having affixed his affections

do not consent to the union a fight is

the object of broaching the subject to

any rudden or abrupt mention of the

TESTED RECIPES,
FRENCH CAKE.
Three cups of flour, two oups of
sugar, one and a half cups of buiter or
lard, one gill of water, one cup of
milk, one and a half enps of fruit, four
eggs, spice, one teaspoon soda, the
juice of a lemon. This will keep for
some weeks,
RAISED CAKE.
Two cups of raised dough, two oups
of sugar, two eggs, one half cup of
butter and lard each, one cup of sweet
milk, two oups of flour, one teaspoon
of soda, one eup of iruit and spice, put
in pans, let stand one-half hour. This
makes two loaves,
HONEYCOMB PUDDING,
Four eggs, one cup of molasses, one-
half cup of sugar, one-half cup of
milk, one-half cup of flour, one tea-
spoonful of salt, two ounces of butter,
one teaspoonful of sods; beat the yolks
of eggs very light, then mix with sugnr,
milk, molasses, salt and the butter
melted, then add the flour, then the
soda dissolved in a little boiling water;
lastly add the whites of eggs beaten to
a stiff froth; bake in 8 moderate oven
from thirty-five to forty minutes; if
cooked too long it will look like cake;
if just night, the outside will look like
honeycomb and the inside like jelly.
