Lincoln's First Lovo.
ACORltKSPONDENT of the Cbl
cnRO Jntcr-Ooenn tells the following
story of how the marriage engngeuient
betweeu Abarlmm Lincoln and Annie
Owens was broken ofl :
"It wns this WHy," said Mr. Green.
" My cousin, Nancy Green, had a great
strapping baby that she was in the habit
of lugging about with her wherever
she went. Possibly Lincoln dldu't
have a passion for babies; at any rate,
he was not In love with this one, and I
remember very well that when his own
son Bob was in the cradle Lincoln used
to lie on the floor reading, and let the
future Secretary of War split his lungs
yelling to be carried about the house.
If Mrs. Lincoln happened to arrive
home about this time there was trouble
In the family for a few minutes, but no
remonstrances or appeals could ever
make him a good nurse. lie would
read, and, bo far as appearances went,
was deaf to all the Infantile cries that
came from his hopeful heirs. When the
babies grew up a bit, and knew some
thing they found In their father a com
panion and a friend, but they had to
look elsewhere for a nurse.
" Well, at the time I mentlon,Llncoln
had grown very fond of Annie Owens,
and she seemed to take quite a fancy to
him. They were together a good deal,
and finally, as was understood, became
engaged. One day Annie and Nancy
Green were going a mile or so to a
neighbor's and Lincoln went with them.
As usual, Nancy took the baby and
trudged along with it, although it was a
heavy weight for her. Perhaps she ex
pected that Lincoln would offer to shoul
er the boy himself for part of the dis
tance, and so relieve her, but if she had
such expectations they were not realized
for he put his hands in his pockets and
and leisurely sauntered by the side of
Annie Owens without a glance toward
the baby.
" Pretty soon Annie became cold, and
answered Lincoln with short and curt
sentences. Then she refused to talk
with him at all, and by the time the
end of the journey was reached she fair
ly withered him with her glances. Lin
coln did not know, or seemed not to
know, what the matter was, and at last
asked an explanation, .
" What's up Annie V said he. 'You
seem to be in bad humor.'
" ' Oh, no,' she replied, mockingly,
'I'm ez purring and good-natured as a
kitten. What is there to ruffle a body,
my gracious !"
" ' It's something I'v done,I suppose,'
said Lincoln.
"'No,' replied Annie, tartly, 'it's
nothing you've done. It's what you
hain't done, and that's what's the mat
ter.' "Well, what is it?' said Lincoln.
"'You don't know, of course,' re
sponded Annie, disdainfully.
"'No, I'll be hanged if I do,' said
Lincoln.
"' Wall I'll tell you,' said Annie.
' You have walked yer for more'n a
mile with us a great, strong feller lik
you and let that woman carry a baby
that weighs nigh unto forty pounds,
and never bo much as lifted yer finger
to help her. That's what ails mc.'
" ' Why, she never asked me,' said
Lincoln.
'"Oh, she didn't! And you hadn't
politeness enough to oiler to help, but
must wait to be asked.'
" ' Why, I never thought of it,' re
turned Lincoln. 'I always supposed
she, would be afraid to let a fellow like
me touch the baby for fear he might
break it or something. I'd carry a bush
el of 'em for you, Annie. .
" ' Yes, 0!i',' said Annie, bitterly.
" Any time,' said Lincoln.
" 4 If 1 mked you V' responded Annie.
" ' Well, I reckon you could ask me if
you wanted them carried,' retorted Lin
coln. " I Just tell you what it is, Abe. Lin
coln,' cried Annie, getting excited, 'any
man as is fit to be a husband would
have offered to a carried that child when
he could see its mother was near tired to
death.'
" ' And I didn't ofl'er V said Lincoln.
" ' No you didn't,' responded Annie.
" ' And so I ain't fit to be a husbaudV
said Lincoln.
"That's just the fact, you hain't'
said Anniu.
' Lincoln turned about with a laugh,
and didn't appear to think much more
of the matter, lie treated Annie very
nicely, and much as if nothing fcad
been said, but her words no doubt made
a serious impression, for from that time
their intimacy began to wane and after
awhile there was a general understand
ing that the engagement was can
celed. There were no more words about
the baby, I believe, but it was the baby,
after all, that broke up the match,"
Afraid of Being Cheated.
In the early days of Indiana, the
lawyer used to follow the courts In the
different counties, "Itidiuga circuit,"
it was called, and it demanded horses
that could struggle through mud rnnd
and swim over deep, rapid streams.
During the court session, a lawyer
bargained for a pony for twenty-five
dollars, on a credit of six months. The
next day the owner brought the pony,
but required security for the payment of
the price. The lawyer drew a note at
the top of a sheet of foolscap and signed
It. His brother lawyers, some twenty
in number, signed It, and then tho court
three Judges wrote down their
names.
The lawyer presented the thoroughly
signed note to the man and was surpris
ed to hear him say : " Do you think I
am a fool, to let you get the court and
all the lawyers on your side? I see you
meau to cheat me out of my pony."
Up jumped the alarmed man, ran out
of the court, mounted the pony and
galloped for home as fast as the horse
could carry him.
Not a Supposable Case.
" MOW, if I was President," began
JL l Mr. Butterby, the other morning
as he passed hlfl cup over for a third cup

broke in Mrs. 11., In an argumentative
and confident tone.
"And not likely to be," added Mrs.
B.'s mother with a contemptuous toss of
her head.
"No," assented Mr. B, pleasantly,
" but I was just supposing the case"
" Then suppose something In reason,"
retorted Mrs. B., snappishly. "You had
as well suppose you were the man in the
moon or that you were the Man In the
Iron Mask "
"Sol might, my dear, sol might,"
agreed Mr. B., still pleasantly smiling
" but tliut has nothing to do with it,you

" And I'd have . the management of

A COLORED man living on Illinol8
street bung out a sign on his house
reading :" For Sail." He happened to
be at the gate when a white man came
along and said :
" You'll never get any offer for your
house with any such spelling as that."
The owner of the place was greatly
puzzled to Improve the orthography, but
finally took his wife's advice and made
it read : " For sell."
This seemed to be all right for a day
or two, and then a school-boy halted
and Bald :
"If you don't fix that sign all the
school children will be laughing at
you."
There was another convention of the
family to Bee where the mistake came
in, aud the sign was made to read " Fur
Sail." It hadn't been up an hour when
an old colored man came along and
queried :
" Does you mean Out dis place am fur

" Am you tlndin' fuult wld datslgn ?"
asked the other.

The Franklin county Superintend
ent of Schools in overhauling the teach
ers of that county as to their education
al qualifications found that some of the
young ladles who were applicants for
positions were decidedly unfit for their
work. The teachers were requested to
write the the following words, with
their definitions: Vacillation, hiero
glyphics, antediluvian, aphorism, biv
ouac, codicil, hallucination, Inveigle,
periphery.
One of the young ladles spelled and
defined them as follows : " Vassllatlon,
the act of being vasell ; hyerogliphics,
(correct definition); antediluvian, the
act of loosening down before, as it were ;
aphorism, a rising beforehead ; bivouac,
(was unable to define) ; codissel, relating
to a code, law or rule ; hallusenatlon , a
strange loosening or separation, as. it
were; Inveigle, somewhat 6trange;
periphery, unnatural."
Several others who were examined
spelled and defined some of the words
as follows : " Superannuated, the state
of being over-exerted ; bivouac, excite
ment,gayety ; codlclle, (couldn't define) ;
perriflery, (coulden't define) ; hallucin
ation, act of rejoicing or blessing; in
veigle, American bush-flghtlng."
One of the young ladles, who received
seven and one-half per cent., defined
hallucination as "the condition of being
made clear.."

State your experience Isaac," was the
the patient listener's request.
" Well,about two years ago a preacher
fellow from Arkansas came up here to
try and pry himself into Slemons's seat.
I believe his name was Bradley. Things
were getting a little bit lively like, and
bo Slemons he came to me one day and
put a ten-dollar bill In my hand, aud
said, Ike, I want you to get Bradley
druuk.' 'Right,' says I, 'for if there's
any boy, can do that sort of job It's
me.'
" I hunted the parson up, and finally
got him under my wing. He was a
quiet sort o' man, gentlemanly like, and
I was calculatin' how many minutes it
would take to spike his guns. I started
him off at Sanderson's, up on the hill,
aud he took his five fingers of raw juice
like an old recruit. Then I headed
straight for the Avenue. We stopped
at every place right on up till we got to
the Riggs House, the preacher all the
time hangin' on his jigger full of raw.
When we got to that point I just kind
o' happened to recall the fact that I
roomed only a few doors off, and I
thought I'd dop around to see that no
robbers had been on hand. So I left the
parson, feeling solemn and right end up,
and I didn't know nothin' till about 11
o'clock the next day.
" As I was comln' down the avenue I
dipped into the National for a backbone
restorer, and what do you think I seed ?
Well, sir, there was the preacher, a
takin' his same, old raw, and a couple of
the Arkansas delegation. I heard
they'd had a iaeetin' the night before
and resolved to get the old man drunk
by squads. The last I heard of that Ar
kansas delegation it was laid up for re
pairs hi a body, and the parson was
plcaJln' his case before the Committee
on Elections. I've tackled my last
preacher from that part of the country,

" I was troubled for years with Kid

Clean Money.
As a godly merchant lny upon his dy
ing bed, he spoke to his children of the
little property which, he had acquired
and was leaving behind him.
" It is not much, but there is not a
dirty shilling in it."
There is such a thing as cleau money.
It may be earned by diligence In busi
ness, by honest labor of hand or mind,
or by the severest occupations which are
not esteemed as either easy or genteel.
but there is money even in the coflers
and purses of many who profess to bo
followers of Christ, which all the waters
of Jordan could not make clean. There
are the wages of unrighteousness, the
gains of ungodliness, the hoarded spoils
wrung from the thin hands of the poor
and the needy ; there are revenues from
the traffic in strong drink; there are
rents paid to church members for places
that are used as traps and pitfalls to en
snare unwary men ; there are gains ac
quired In a thousand ways which are
blackened with the stain of sin and
with the curse of God. Thousands on
thousands have thus laid up wealth,
which shall curse them In life and death ;
which shall ensnare their children and
beguile them to their ruin ; and which
Bhall finally eat their flesh as it were fire,
when the Judge who standeth before the
door shall come to make inquisition for
blood, and to punish the ungodly in the1
last great day.
O man of earth, as you look upon your
gains and treasures, as you count your
hoards and estimate your possessions,
ask yourself the question, Is this clean
money t and decide, that as God shall
give you grace and help, nothing which
you possess shall deserve the curse that
follows the wages of unrighteousness,
the gains of those who know not and

"Senator" Bob Hart, the burnt cork
orator of a minstrel show not many
years ago. Whilst thus occupied. Hart
who In private life was known as J. M.
Sutherland, became a victim of strong
drink, he lost his position as a senato
rial orator, aud was going to the bac
rapidly. He reformed Imperfectly sev
eral times, but finally, under Influence
of the Gospel temperance meetings in
New York, he was Induced to sign the
pledge, which he has since kept. Mr.
Hart also professed religion, studied for
the ministry, and on Sunday last as,
Installed as assistant pastor of the
Laight Street Baptist Church, of New
York city, at a salary of $1,000 per year.
Mr. Hart preached a sermon on the oc

Attention to Small Things.
In all the affairs in life it is the stitch
in time that saves us trouble. Some of
us seem to find it impossible to take it :
we are are delayed in repairing the roof,
for want of material, till dampness
cracks the plaster, and peels off the wall
paper, and gives us bronchitis; we
would take such pleasure In settling our
bills before the interest doubles them as
only he who owes them knows; we
realize the necessity of a stitch in time
in our afTairs.but have no thread and
needle, so to speak ; or we fancy that we
will attend to them to-morrow, or next

with the work in hand, and then they
are beyond mending. Sometimes it is
our friendships that show a break, when
a word is spoken in season, how good it
is! What tears and regrets it saves us!
Many a heart-ache could be speared us
by a seasonable adjustment of difficul
ties. Avoid Slander.
None of us are perfect, and we have
no right therefore to expect perfection
in others. So If you cannot speak well
of your neighbors, do not speak of
them at all. A cross neighbor may be
made a kind one by kind treatment.
The way to be happy is to make others
happy. To do good is a luxury. If
you are not wiser and better at the end
of the day, that day Is lost. Practice
kindness, even if it be but to speak one
word. Do not seem to be what you are
not. Learn to control your temper and
your woj ds. Say nothing behind one's
back that you would not say to his face.
