is the time that most boys look ahead
lor a good time. They get their
whiskey and drink and spree around,
taking no thought of what this day
is celebrated for. This day should be
kept more sacred than any other day
in the year except it be Easter, for
this is the Birthday of Christ, and we
ought to be more careful as to how
we spend it.
It is very unbecoming for anybody
to drink whiskey at any time. This
awful curse of drink a ill take away
the beauty and strength of your body;
cause your best triends to forsake
yon; make your home dark and un
comfortable; bring trouble upon your
mother and sisters and yourself also.
Many boys and young men start
to church or some other public gath-
ering with a bottle in one pocket and
a pistol in the other, set their hats
on one side, taking both sides of the
road or going in the church stagger
ing from one side of the aisle to the
other. These boys expect to accom
pany some young lady home from
church. Boys, a nioe girl ought not
to associate with you but ought to
shun your company. Don’t you
think so too?

was even abused
by his own par
ty, among his
o w 11 generals
and iu his own cabinet. In no way
did he reveal his greatness more than
by the forgiving manner In which he
treated Ills maligners.
He looked at this misrepresentation
like a philosopher. At one time there
was a blunder In the southwest, which
was charged to the president. An offi
cer who knew that the blame belonged
on other shoulders was one day visit
ing the White House and mentioned
the matter. He asked if he had not
la-tter state the facts as he knew
them to l*e.
“Oh, no,” replied Lincoln, "at least
not now. If I were to try to read,
much less answer, all the attacks made
on me. this shop might as well be
closed for any other business. I do
the very best I know how. the very
best I can. and I mean to keep on do
ing so until the end. If the end brings
me out all right, w hat is said against
me won’t amount to anything. If the
end brings me out wrong, ten angels
swearing I was right would make no
difference.”
Among the nn*8t virulent critics of
the president was the Chicago Times.
A visitor once appealed to Lincoln to
suppress the paper on the ground that
it was op!>oslng the war and aiding the
enemy.
“I fear you do not fully comprehend
the danger of abridging the liberties
of the people." replied Mr. Lincoln.
“Nothing but the very sternest neces
sity can ever Justify that. A govern
ment had l»etter go to the very extreme
of toleration than to do anght that can
l>e construed into an Interference with
or to jeopardize in any degree the com
mon rights of its citizens.”
Examples of his overlooking hostile
criticisms were Innumerable. Secre
tary Stanton was not the only malign
er the president appointed to a position
of trust. Those who had vilified him
one year were accepted as supporters
the next. ”1 choose always to make
my political startute of limitations a
short one,” he said.
Despite the calumny heaped on him
in his lifetime, Mr. Lincoln has fared
much better at the hands of posterity
than have most of the great souls that
have uplifted and blessOl the race.

Lincoln's assassination had been
threatened from the moment of his
nomination for the presidency. The
only wonder Is that It was averted un
til the close of the war. While he paid
little or no attention to the menacing
hints that came In every mail, his
many private and public references to
the subject show that he expected a
tragic death.
He often jokingly said that he was a
physical -coward, yet no man ever
showed higher bravery or greater un
consciousness of danger. When at tlje
front during u battle he needlessly ex-
IMised himself. He resented having a
guard placed about him and never rest
ed until it was removed. He went
alsmt Washington unattended at all
hours of the day and night, and, while
his own utterances showed that he was
fully alive to the dangers, he never
made any provision against them.
“If they kill me.” be said philosoph
ically, "the next man will lie just as
bad for them, and in a country like
this, where our habits are simple and
must tie. assassination is always |K>ssi-
ble and will come If they are deter
mined upon it.*'
The hour the blow was struck could
not have been more exactly timed if it
had been arranged from all eternity
The war was ending. At the Inst
cabinet meeting, held on the very day
of the assassination. General Grant was
present, expecting news of Johnstou's
surrender, the last great act of the con
flict. On the same afternoon the presi
dent went driving with Mrs. Lincoln,
who said she bad never seen him so
happy. Upon her mentioning this
fact be remarked, “And well 1 may
feel so, Mary, for 1 consider this day
ttmt the war has come to a cloee.”
It was not quite at a close. His own
death *as to be the last act of the gi
gantic drama. That would end slavery
and disunion forever, past the power
of any man to revive. The book would
be shat sod sealed with bis own blood.
No man could ever reopen it and turn
back Its pages again.
Perhaps never in the world's history
has grief been more universal and pro
found than at ITesldent Lincoln’s
death. This man ha^ the heart of the
common people. To the private sol
dier he was a father, to the negnfls
liberator, to the nation a savior, to
the lowly man of every clime s broth
er. ilia death revealed hla supreme
In Florence and was executed for lr In'
1408. yet It has been In only compara
tively recent times that the world has
begun to take Savonarola’s true meas
ure.
Gaspnrd de Coligny. one of the pur
est souls in French history, led the
Huguenots in a religious revolution
and fell In the infamous St. Bartholo
mew’s day massacre in 1572. yet poor
Coligny has scarcely been rated at his
true worth even to this day.
Oliver Cromwell, the forerunner of
modern democracy and of civil and re
ligious liberty, died in 1658, yet npt
till comparatively recent times has his
name been rescued from the malignant
lies that were heaped upon It The
world yet has to do justice to Crom
well.
Thomas Paine, who died the very
year Lincoln was born, the real author
of the Declaration of Independence
and the apostle of liberty In three
lands. Is still misrepreeented, hated
and reviled for the good be did. Yet
the day will come when Paine will be
placed aa high as be has been dragged
low.
