If the , pursuit of great dims; the achieve
inent ef great deeds; the, occupying of great
position's; the' winning of ;'great faine; the
posseasionorgiyat virtues; thuillustration of
great principles, make men great, then
Abrahani Lincoln was a greatlman.. His
tory 'measures men by these ' standards,
and to this measurement it adds those dis
tances that lie between the starting point
and the goal--between the foundation and
the pinnacle--between the green valley and
the snow-clad peak. The .majestic 'ice-berg
which dwarfs the loftiest mast-head beneath
its glittering battlements is chiefly grand
because we know that far down, in a triple
depth; beneath our line of view, the massive
foundations are sunk, upon which its trans
parent splendors are up-reared.
No one can rise from the perusal 'of the
life of Abraham Lincoln, which has jest
: been given by the pen of 3. G. Holland,
without the conviction that he his been
brought face to face ;with the greatest man
of modern times. 'With Wondertnl industry
and' ability ,Mr. hak given us a
biography 'of the greatest of American Pre
sidents, so. :minute in its, details, and so
thoroughly covering the whole period of Mr
Lincoln's extraordinary career, that it is
difficult to realize hiiw shOrt a time has been
expended in the work, and how difficult
must
,have been the exploration which has
• produced such goldenresulta. With a meat
loving enthusiasm, the author ,has traced
the various steps which lead from the rude
log cabin:in Kentucky, on Whose hard floor
slept the backwoods boy, up through all the
intervening scenes to the Executive Man
sion, where the greatest of living rulers
swayed the destinies of the millions of Ante
rica,and won the unwilling praise of the mil
lions of Europe. We read the record of
Abraham Lincoln's early days, and as we
pass from one scene to another in which the
poor, unlettered, unknown boy struggled
forward, always towards aclearer light and
a higher stand-point, we seize upon the clue
- which leads, without a single break, directly
onwardto the final glorious consummation
of all his ans. We find precisely the same
qualities actively at work in the farm-boy,
the axe-man, the fiat-boatman, the clerk,
which controlled the statesman and the
President. An unswerving honesty, a
child-like simplicity, and a reverent fear of
God run like a golden thread through his
whole eventful life, a thread, whose even
twisted strands were laid together by the
tender hands of a Christian mother.
The narrative of Abraham Lincoln's
youth stirs the reader with a thrill such as
the subtlest romance might excite. Few,
comparatively, have realized as yet how
utterly poor and humble that youth was.
Left a motherless boy of nine years old, in
a rough cabin in a wild section of Indiana,
whither the family had removed from Ken
tucky, he grew up at his father's side,
in
dustrious, studious, patient, honest. With
a physical frame • inured to all manner of
hardship,and with agenial spirit that rarely
lost its balance, he was the :leader of the
rough athletic sports of his coterades, the .
best wrestler, the beat writer, the best
reader, the best story-teller, the best woods
man, the best water-man of them all. But
his aim was always upward. He heard
within him a clear voice ever saying "come
up higher!" and be pressed on with a
strange mixture of humility and confidence,
undismayed by obstacles, undaunted by
defeats, unmoved by the intrigues that sur
rounded him and unhurt by the brilliant
successes that he achieved.
Mr. Holland brings us on from the ro
mantic and stirring incidents of the boy
hood and youth of Lincoln, through his po
liticalecareer at the West, where his great
contest with Douglas first made his name
familiar to Eastern ears, with ever culmi
nating interest. By numerous authentic
anecdotes which will be new to most of the
readers of this fascinating book, he brings
out in bold relief the qualities of the boy
matured, into the thoroughly developed
proportions of manhood. Quick, shrewd,
and ingenious to search out the weak places
in the armor of his legal or political oppo
nent, he was so generous, so simple, so
noble, so honesV so true-hearted, that we
do not wonder at his extraordinary per
sonal popularity, or at his ultimate success.
His was the character, of all others, to win
the enthusiastic admiration and affection of
the Western mind, and the whole world has
come to endorse the verdict of his earliest
and nearest friends.
The reader passes on [through Mr. Lin
coln's Presidential career, with painful
sympathy. It is difficult to read, without
tears, the story of those anxious weary years
of his life. Misunderstood, misrepresented,
burdened as man was never burdened be
fore, beleaguered with treason, beset with
political faction, hunted by the hungry pack
of office-seekers, walking under a perpetual
sense of fearful responsibility, his pillow was
the thorniest and his pith the roughest that
the ruler of a great people ever knew. Out
of the very depths of his
,:care=worn spirit,
he cried to one of his friends, "I shall never
be glad any more." And yet this strong,
great man went steadfastly along his via
dolorosa, cheating the superficial observer
with a semblance of light-hearted gaiety;
rarely losing his even sweetness of temper;
never unmindful of the little daily duties of
kindneas and charity to the poor and suffer
ing who so constantly bespoke his interven
tion in their behalf; full of sympathy for the
lowest soldier in the ranks; quick to detect
imposition; quicker still to acknowledge his
own short-comings; waiting, striving. Pray
ing for the time when the blindness of the
people should be taken away.
It is one of the saddest reflections in read
ing Mr. Lincoln's life, that as he advanced
towards the consummation of his noble
aims, he felt that his over-taxed strength
was giving way, and that he shouldnot live
to seethe full fruition of his hopes. ' To one
who congratulated him nponthe prospect of
the termination of the war,"l know-4
know," said he, pressing a and on either
fade; "but the springs of life are wearing
away and I shall notlast." To this idea he
frequently recurred, and we cannot doubt
that he was deliberately sacrificing his own
life to his over-powering sense of duty, long
before the bullet closed his career.
Mr: Holland . has brenght out Mr. Lin
adn's religions character with a distinct
peas that must set at rest all cavil .npou th a t
point. "He believed in God, and in His
personal supervision of the affairs of men.
He believed himielf to be under His control

. _ .
- and guidance," The. Bible was his'com;
panion and prayer his resort , in his greatest
need's: _The touching: ipPea,l to his_friende
upon leaving Springfield came froth the
very depths of his soul, and no adntinititia
tion of our Government has everl been
marked by ,the religious tone ' th 4 has
marked that,Of Abraham Lineoln. 1 . We
cannot refrain, front quoting a single very
remarkable passage? from , - Mr: llolland'i
biography, illustrating this point. !After
Mr. Lincoln's election,
he was conversing
with Mr. Bateman in Springfield 'in 'Teen
ence to tile fact that a large preponderance
of the Springfield clergy were expeeted to
vote against - him on account of their pro
slavery proclivities. Mr. Lincoln! was
walking the room, with a small Testament
in his hand, greatly agitated. Stopping at
last, he*said, witha trembling voice and his
s cheeks wet with tears:' "I know there is a
God and that He hates injustice and slavery.
I see the storm coming, and I knoW His
hand is in it. If He has a place and work
for me -- and I think He haS—lbelieve I am
ready.
_I am nothing, but truth is every
thing. I know lam right, because Iknow
that liberty is right, for Christ teaches it,
and Christ is God. I have told them that a
house divided against itself cannot stand,
and Christ and reasbn. say the same, and
they will find it so. Douglas don't care
whether slavery is voted up or voted down,
but God cares, and -humanity
_cares, j and I
care; and with Godis help I shall not fail.
I may not see the end, but it will cone and
I shall be vindicated; and these Men will
find that they iiave not read their Bibles
aright." '
The analysis of the features of Mr t Lin
coin's personal character and of the policy
of his public life, is made by Mr. Holland
with rare judgment and skill. Varied as
they often are and conflicting as theY often
seem to be, they all yield with beautiful
harmony.to the test of the few simple rules
and principles which governed this strange
life, and his biographer is thus able to meet
and overcome every difficulty which has
perplexed and troubled the casual observer
of Mr. Lincoln's history.
Time and distance are yet to do their
kindly offices for Mr. Lincoln's character.
We all recognize that principle of history
by which the truly great gain their full
proportions as they recede from immediate
contact and view. The mosses of Time
hide many minor defects, and the misty at
mosphere of Distance rounds many a
rough angle into harmony and beauty.
When this work shall have begun when
Abraham Lincoln recedes into hiatory ;
when the relative distance between him and
the great men of the Past shall have been
dimini -lied, then the world will be
able to appreciate the fall stature of this
great representative American. Even now
men name him second to Washington,
and some, with bolder vision, call htin his
peer. But when History shall come to com
pare Abraham Lincoln with all that have
gone before him, by the measure of ' early
advantages enjoyed, by the power of temp
tations resisted, by the nobility and purity
of personal character, by the steadfastness
and courage of his spirit, by the magnitude
of the work achieved, by the splendor of the
victory won for himself and for his people,
by the place which he filled in the face of
the whole civilized world, we venture the
prediction that Abraham Lincoln will stand
upon the bright pages of American History,
in many of the essential features of his life,
without a peer!
We cannot conclude this notice of ,Mr.
Holland's book in better language than that
with which the volume itself closes; "Hum
ble child of the backwoods—boatman, axe
man, hired laborer, clerk, zrurveyor, cap
tain, legislator, lawyer, debater, orator,
politician, statesman, President, saviour of
the republic, emancipator of a race, true
Christian, true man—we receive thy life and
its immeasurably ~, great results, as the
choicest gifts that a mortal has ever be
stowed upon us; grateful to thee for thy
truth to thyself, to us, and to God; and grate
ful to that ministry of Providence and grace
which endowed thee so richly, and bestowed
thee upon the nation and mankind,"

THE TwEYTY•FIFTH Annual Meeting of
the Philadelphia Sabbath Association was
held on Thursday evening at No. 1334
Chestnut street. The object of the Society
is to promote the observance of the Christian
Sabbath. Its affairs and funds are under
the direction of a President, Corresponding
and -Recording Secretary, Treasurer and
a Board of forty-eight members.
The Society has in its employ five Mis
sionaries who visit, during the boating sea
son, the Delaware Division, Lehigh, Morris,
the Mainline, Susquehanna, the Delaware
and Raritan, and the Cheseapeake and
tri?Del
aware canals, dis ' uting Tracts and Tes
taments and doing ' 'onary work among
the boatmen and driv boys.
Against the hostile 'influences by i which
the sanctity of the Sabbath, in some way
and for some purposes, is assailed, and will
continually be assailed, there is at present
perhaps no barrier upon which the Christian
public can so safely rely, as the preialence
in the community of a correct and enlight
ened public conscience upon the subject;
and as a most powerful auxiliary in the
cause of Truth, fhta Society solicits the es
pecial aid of the Gospel Ministry in our city
and State. - .
The Annual Report gives an interesting
account of 'the operations by the Rociety,
and the labors of the Misvionaries during
the putt year. The following are the of=

LIFE - INEMBANCE.- - The attention of our
readers is called to the advertisement'in our
columns of the New York Life'a twenty
first annual dividend, which is fifty per
cent. for 1865, together with the redemption
in cash of all outstanding scrip for the years
1863, 1864. The receipts for the year were
over two millions of dollars; just at this
time when both life and fire are so
great, it certainly shows' superior •manage
ment in the officers and agents of this com
pany to make such a satisfactory report to
their policy holders, thy only being ante=
rested,in the profits. We knOw of no com
pany in this country that have cashed their
outstanding scrip and credits in so , short a
time. The scrip of 1865 only remains to be
paid. We can safely recommend this com
pany in preference to many ether 3 to persons
about insuring; the accumulated capital is
, now over $4,500,000, and policies for $20,000
are insured in any one first-class risk.
Messrs. Lancaster and Gaskill, the well
known insurance agents, N: W. corner of
Tenth and Walnut streets, are the agents
for this State. Call on them and insure; we
have done so.
Tom SKATING SEASON. --The recent re
newal of the cold atmospheric condition has
rejoiced the hearts of all the proprietors of
the skating parks, as well as of the'visitors
who favor the parks with their presence. At
Thirty-first and Walnutetreets, the skating
is delightful, and the scientific movements
of Messrs. Edward and William Van Hook
charm all who see them. At Fifteenth and
Wallace streets, Dr. Jansen's park is
thronged and the ice is really excellent.
Both parks at Fourth and Diamond streets
are in admirable order, and the skating
never was better. At Bushnell's park,
Broad street and Columbia avenue, yester
day, the scene was unusually brilliant. Mr.
Peter Weaver, one of the most graceful
skater's in the world, as our readers are
aware, was upon the ice for some hours and
delighted hundreds of spectators with his
splendid evolutions. At Twenty-first street
and Columbia avenue, there is ice as clear
as water, and the park is accessible by the
Ridge avenue cars. At this park, as well
as at the others, there is excellent music
daily.

AFTER Tizetr. 7 The officers of Camden
seem to be unrelaxing in their efforts to
hunt up incendiaries, whose works have for
several months past filled the citizens with
great dread, and endangered their property
to such an alarming extent. Several
months ago a young man named John Beck
was arrested and put under bail, charged
with having fired the stables and barn of
Mr. Hatch, on the 15th of May last, and on
Thursday afternoon he was convicted of the
crime. Immediately on conviction he
turned State's evidence and made an affida
vit implicating several other lads in the
transaction with himself, some of whom
have been arrested. Whether they are
guilty or not remedns to be seen, but justice
demands better and more, positive
evidence than the oath of a condemned
criminaL Their cases, however, will be
fairly investigated, as the Prosecuting At
torney, Mr. Jenkins, and Justice T. M.
Cassady will not permit any one to suffer
who is innocent to appease the self-exone
rating statements of the guilty.
