~-Chating J. Boattia,
The following article, giving some |
anecdotes of the early life of Abraham |
Lincoln, is taken from Success:
“I meant to take good care of your
book, Mr. Crawford, I did, indeed,”
said the boy, in great trepidation:
“bat I've damaged it a good deal with.

make it right with you if I can. What
shall I do 10 make good the damage?”
Wl kad happened to it, Abe"
askod the rich farmer, an he took the
copy of Weems's “‘Life of Washing-
ton,” which he had lent young Lin-
coln, and looked at the stained leaves
and warped binding. “It looks as if
it had been oat all through last night's
storm. How came you to forget, and
leave if out to soak?”
“Twas this way, Mr. Crawford,”
replied Abe, shifting uneasily to the
other foot; ‘I sat up late to read it;
and, when I went to bed, I put it away
carefully in ny bookoase, as 1 call it, |
a little opening between two logs in
the wall of our esbin. 1 dreamed
about General Washington all night.’
When I woke np I took it out to read
a page or two before I did the chores, |
and you can't imagine how I felt when |
I found it in this shape. It seems:
that the mud-dsubing had got ont of !
the weather side of that crack, aud the |
rain must have dripped on it three or |
four hours before I took it out. I'm
real sorry, Mr. Crawford, and want to
fix it up with you somehow, if yon can
me any way, for I ain't got the
money to pay for it with.”
“Well,” said Mr. Crawford, “being

i Mr. Weik says that Lincoln found
| "pieces to speak” in ‘The Kentacky
. Preceptor,” containing a number of
| nseful lessons in reading, compiled
for the use of schools by n teacher.
‘““We are indebted to his stepmother
| for the information that his mative
j matical instruction came from Pike's
| arithmetic; but he was unable to buy |
: the book, and was thersfors obliged
i to borrow the copy which belonged to |
War Office. The old man was in pain,
and the pale, sunken cheeks and vague
far-away stare in hiseyes betokened a
short-lived existence, He halted a
moment, and then slowly approached
a tall gentleman who was walking
thoughtfaily along. *‘Good morning,
sir. I'm an old soldier, and would
like to ask your advice”
The gentieman turned, and, smiling
kindly, invited the poor old veteran to
a seat nnder & shady tree. There he
listened to the man's story of how he
had foneht for the Union, and was
severely wonnded, incapacitating him
