walks' nf life. In fact, lie was the
patriot of pul rii its ; ami now, as nu ll,
lie Jii:m,,'l'p. against tlie. dep blue
atiiomr the grU'iocfl fibres-of the age."
The quick lailnre of Lanmn's Life of
Lincoln ils peedy n iu.!iutioii by
the public, caused in part by its be
ing lumpered wilb about the time it
went lo4ireM, aud by its wrong and
injustice done to the great dead hat
only intensified my original idea to
write the lite of Mr. " Litiu.wlii. Let
ue t?y here once for all, that I am
imt one nf the authors of Luno.i'a
Lile nl Lincoln. I never wroto a eu
laiue or a v.;.;! i'or the biography. I
urn quoted by Lamou.anil to that rx
tent 1 am rispniicilile, and no further.
It in prohnble that I never shall
rift piiticHcd till I write the lile.
Having this determination ' to write
the litu of Mr. Lii.colu, and h.iviug
heard nay about nnu yeai after the
death nf tho President that Mrs.
Lincoln had arrived in Ilia city, and
whs stopping at the St. Nicholas Ho
tel, I called uu her, and, after the .us
ual running remarks about her health,
etc., 1 made known my purpose and
plans, I slated to her that I intend
ed to write the Jit', uf.her husband,
aud if she would consent, I should
like to have tome I'mcIs u short his
tory of herself to insert in the bio
graphy. She remarked lu me, in sub
stance, that it was not usual to men
tion the facts the b story uf the wife,
lu the biography of her husband, fur
ther than to sitv that tho two were
married at such a time and place,
and to which I replied:" That is true
us a general rule, but then there are
exceptions tti this rule, and tdioiild be."
At my special request, and after some
argument, she consented to give
me a short history of her life. I got
a pen, petieil, ink and paper, dr-W up
a binuli tuhlc, and became prepared
to take down, as well as I could, the
Mib'-iauce of what shu said. Shu coin
ineuced as follows, which I took down
with care:
"I us born on the 13th day of De
cember, 1823, iu Li-xingl'iu "Fayette
county Kentucky. Am the daughter
of Robert IS. and Eliia Tmld,' maiden

rVlucHled by Mine. Mentelle, a
French lady, opposite Mr. Clay's.
.She was well educated ; was Freitrh ;

so h: iipy, so glad the "Rar was over.
Mr. Lincoln, up to 18G5, wanted to
live iu snriuufleld, his old home, aud
be buried there ' Changed his opin

Intended moving aud traveling some.
"Mr. Lincoln was the kindest man
and most loving husband aud father
iu the world. He gave us all un
bounded liberty. Said to me alwys
when 1 asked fur unythiug, 'Vou
know what you want, go and get it.'
He iiiver asked me if it was necessary.
He Mas very exceed ly indulgent to
his children. Cliided or praised
them fr what they ' did their acts,
etc. He always said i II is my pleas

aud unrestrained by paruntal tyranny.

"I h.-ivo none of my literary scraps,
poems, compositions, except 1 know
the Shield poetry. This piece nf po
etry In which Mrs. Lincoln referred,
but did Hot quote, will be found iu
Iuiiioiis Life of Lincoln, at iauu 35'J.
It partly led to ihe 'Lincoln-Shield'
dii'.l. '
Mrs. Lincoln continued :
"Mr. Lincoln had a dieam whcyi

was when Willie died never before.
He felt religious mora than ever
about the time he went to Geltys

.Morally, mentally and . physically
early marriugo is a great mistake
among women ; aud yet every day we
jiee this mistake sanctioned by the offi
ces of religion, blessed by the cousent
of friends, and entered into with all
the eelat which should be reserved for
a triumph rather than a trial. , ..
Morally it is a mistake, because few
women are fit, ttt ' an 1 aire .when ' they
should be under, au'hnriiy, to, rule ,
household prudently ; since no atmos
phere is so dangerous for an' undevel
oped soul, as that of the almost abso
lute power wlm h is generally delegat
ed to the young wife.' She ma' now
do whatever is pleasing in her. .own
eyes. She has been freed from paren
tal restraint, and any other has a cir
cumference to undefined that it is uar-
,j rowed and enlarged uocorvliii'ij to Ihe
will and moral sense pf she Vim draws

-MentuMy it is n mistake, because
w,th '""rnage all mental growth
if
euspciied in the lare majority . of w i-
nitHi. . ltiducittiuii being renamed as a
means toward an end. e ahiindoiii'd as
soon. as the cud is obtained. It may
be argued that all education from snoli
u motive is a mistake :o begin with.
True, but then it is the 'hub which
keeps the culprit in tlie society of wis
dom, aud it is just pi.ssiila the ui.nd,
under such iuAueuce, might arrive at
a juster Ci.'licejKioii of iu worth and
value. ...'.'; ' . , .
Physically it is a niiftake, because,
at the early age at whii-h many mar
riages are made, the human organize-,
lion has not r arrived at perfected
strength, and duties and responsibilities
are laid upon it for which pat ore has
made no adequate provision. Vitality
is destroyed quicker 'tlit.il it is generat
ed, and rapid decay of both inind and
b nly are the results. Then the, woman
is said to die "by the visitation - of
God," though in nine oases out of ten it
only the simple and inevitable result
ot the laws of nature persistently aud
violently broken. .

AN APOLOGY.
, Tbe editor of a Western paper onct
gave a notice, of a ha' I, at.d httppe"tied
incidentally to' mention that the danc
ing of Major Heeler's better half was
like-"the cavorting of a fly bitten cow
in a field uf cucumbers." Tne fact
that the editor had not been i.ivited to
the ball may somewhat .detract from
the value of the simile, while at 'the
same time it accounts for his establish
ing the figure. The major, uccmnpa
hind bv his better half and a six shoot,
er, called on the editor to complain of
the poitie.il nature of the image. Oil
learning that thc lndv was the one he
had described, thu editor besought her
to raise her veil. She d d an, faying:
"N iw, Sir, . I expect you to apolo
gize." "Apologize! should rather think
I would," was the answer, us he seized
his hul and left the 'room.
The astonished major rushed lo iho
window': "Slop, you,' sir! you have
not apologized ! " ' ,
"All right;' I'm going to do it tu a
minuter' .
"What do you mean?" shouted the
major, accenting the note of interrog i
linn with a pistol bullet.
, The answer was walled back from
round the corner
"Can't vou see, 1'iri looking for that
cow?"
