AeRAHAM Lincoln.
llHOO-Fsbruary 19-lMO(>.)
When o'er the land, from atrand to strand, the drum beat near and far, Wbeu trom tbe ahop, the fleld, the crop, men crowded to Ibe war. When tn th* Sontb, from the oannon'a moutb. ahell rained on Suuiter's wnll, Tho aummnns then tor loysl men went forth—the hattie call- Red war's alarms—to arms, to arms, our land and flag to save- By one prond stroke to break tbe yoke—tu manumit the slave.
Thea stalwart mon from vale and glen to arms came promptly forth, Aad talthtnl sons wllh awords and guns thronged proudly Irom tbts North. Tbe glowing We«t, her bravest, best, beard the wild war trump sound. And lormed In line, with hope divine, to flght on freedom's ground; Proud, patriot men from the land ot Penn, trom valley, hill nnd crag. For equal laws, tor freedom's cause all circled round the dng.
To freedom true, the Jersey blue, tb* Knlckerbo^ker brave,
Aad manv a band from Maryland, came forth our Innd t.-> save.
From Malae's gr«en pines, Missouri's mines, and trom the land ot Clay
Kenlneky sent, on ylctory bent, her sous to Join the fray—
Tb* brave and tree trom Tennessee, and all the sunny Houth
IJent men to fall at tbeir country's call, ut tbe grim cannon's mouth.
For freedom's land, with beart and band. New England's faithful boat Like Spartans came to breast the tame or tali at duty's post. From mine and mill, trom knoll and hill, came forth the muuntnlnncr. From I'ln prnlrle sod, with shoulders broad, the gallant vuluntucr. „,^^ Tb* cuaipllre'* blaze shone through thn haze by rivulet and rill, ^^ -
And freedom's lamp shone o'er the camp where squadrons thronged to drill.
And who the wan, ungainly man, who marshaled all the tree, Lik* marbla stood wbile war and blood oppressed bv land nnd sea; His one Arm word, tbe people stirred; "Cnion!" tor evurmore; One land, one sky, to live or dlr, oue flag trom shorn to shore. No arms, no fates can part the Stat.-s, no causo tlie Union finer— Preserv* thla sull for men who toll forever uuti forever!
Thla soul that Ood picked trom the sod to stand In freedom'^ van, "lie land tn save, to free the alav.* and light tor Irajiplc 1 lutir; I o checa tbe pride—lo stay the tide ot tell despotic power.
.Ih held tbe rolu—he broko the chain—In freedom's trial hour.
I hn Mpartsn horde that drew tbe sword to him gnvn up tlic hrau'l,
.\nd Lincoln died In freedom's pride thu savior ot our luud!

THE   NEWS    EPITOMIZED.
Tha following article, ginug some tneodoEei of the early life ut Abraham Lionoln, is taken from Saocess:
"I meant to take good care o( your book, Mr. Crawford, I did, indeeil," ¦aid the boy, in great trepidation; ''bat I're damaged it a good deal with- 9at intending tu, snd now I want to make it rigbt with yoa if I can. What shall I do lo make good the damage?"
"Why, what's happened to it, Abe?" liked the rich farmer, at he took the copy of Weemt't "tiite of Washing¬ ton," which he had lent yonng Lin- 9oln, and looked at tha ataintfd leaves snd warpad binding. "It looks as if It had been out all throagb last night's itorm. How oame you to forget, and leaye il oat to soakf"
"'Twas  thit  way, Mr.   Crawford,"
tioo oi the Capitol nt Washington, March 4, 1805, were written by a man whose school dnya, all told, 'did not amount to one year,' and who was 'never in a college or academy as a student, and never iuside a college or academy building, till after be bad be¬ come a practicing lawyer, in hia twen¬ ty-eighth year."
Mr, Weik snys that Lincoln found "pieoea to speak" iu "The Kentucky Preceptor," containing a number of useful lessons iu reailing, compiled for the use of sfUooln by a teacher.
"We are indebted to bia stepmother for the inforiuatioii tbat his matlie- matioal instruction cnme from Tike's arithmetic; but ho was uuable to bny tbe book, and was tberefore obliged to borrow tbe copy which belougiid to a neighbor—presumably ,Iosiah Craw¬ ford.
"In order to possess the esseutisl parts of the book, be resolved to copy them. Having procured certain sheets of unruled paper, nine iuchea wide and fourteen long, be aewed them to¬ gether at one edge with string, so that they would open like a book. Then, with a quill pen, ho patiently copied the essential parts of tbe entire arith-

"Obl I'll study and get ready, and then maybe the chance will come."
replied Aba, thif ting uneasily to the ither (oot; "I sat up late tu read it; snd,wh*u I went to bad, I pat it away aarefally in my bookoasa, as 1 oall it, 1 little opening between two logs iu kb* wall of onr cabin. I dreamed iboat 0*B*ral Watbiagton all niglit. Wbaa I woke np I.took it out to read I pafa or two httoie I did the chores, ud yom ean't imagine bow I felt wheu Konadil ia tbit thap*.

Mr Crawford, tnd waut to Bi it np witb yon Somehow, if you oan t*U ma any way, for I ain't got the monay to pay for it witb."
"Well," said Mr. Crawford, "being u it't yon, Abe, I won't be hard un ron. Coma orer tnd tbnok corn three oan, and tb* book'i yonrt."

"I don't intend to <lrlve. griili, ahuek eom, split rails and tbv hk.^ al¬ waya," he told Mrs. Crawford, after be had read tke volame. "I'm goiUK to lit myaelf lor a profeasion."
"Why, what du you waut tn be now?" aaked Mrs. Crawford, ia sur- pria*.
"Ob, I'llb* rreaiilent." aaid .\be, witb a aaule,
"Yon'd make a pretty I*re»ident, with aU ymtr Iricka and jukea. nuw , wouldn't yua?" aaid the farmer'a wife.
"Oh, I'll atudy and get ready." re¬ plied the l>oy, "and th«n ma.vbe tbe •bane* will cume."
"Perhap* people a hundred year* baae*." writea Jeaa* W. Weik. uue of Liacola'a lateat liiugTaphers. "will baaitate to believe Ihat th* speech at Oattyaburg battlefleld and tba ioang- ,w*4 «ddraa* d<Uvcrtd from  tba por-
metio. Along tbe edges aud in the unused rorncrs of mauy pages are found snatchesof schoolboy doggerel." "Not uuly were hooks iu some cases out of bit reach, but paper and like snppliea were not always lo be bad, so that the praetiiie of writing was not at all times an easy matter. Oftentimes when at work plowing in the Uelds, the boya would—when tbe old, flea- bitten gray mare stopped to rest at tbe end ot a long fnrrow—draw from his pocket a piece of smoothly planed wood and cover the impromptu slate with words aud figures, written witb tho pencil he had made of suapstune or clay. Uis stepmother telln ns he would cover the smooth side of every log and board about the cabiu with his rude essays and arithmetical calcnla- tiona. Tbe door was a study in hier¬ oglyphics."
"As I was once riding to mill witb my father," said Captain .luhn Lamar, '•I saw, as we druve alouK, a boy sit ting on tbo topmost rail of an old- (sshioued atake-aud-ritler worm fence, readiug su intently tbat be did nut notice our appnmoli. Mv father turned tu lue an.l said: 'Juhn, look at tbat boy yomler, and mark my words, he will make a smart mau out ol bimseif. I may nut see it, but you'll see if my words dou't come true.' Tbat boy was .\braham Lincoln."
"I only went to school  by   littles,'
Lincoln said iu after  lite;   "in all   it

17. "But Jesu.ii answered them, My Fath¬ er worketh hithert.i and I work." Be- cnusi* He bad healed the Impoti-nt man at Bethcsda on the habhath day they perse¬ cuted Illm and sought to kill Him. Dr. Weston says that their Salibnth day wns tu tbem their national banner, and It was not well tor anyone who would dare break tlieir laws concernlnit it. Ood's Hnbbath's and feasts which He Instituted hnd lie- come the Jows' Sabbaths and feasts, and Instead of observing His laws concerning them they bnd multiplied traditions ul their own, thus maklug the commandment ot Ood ot none cfteot by their tradition (M.Hth. XV., 3, «1.
1«. "Therefore the Jews sought th« more to kill Him, because Ho not only hnd broken tbe Sal.bath, but snld also that God was His Father, maklug Himself eoual with God." On another occasion they were guing to ston.^ Him because, ns they said. He, hning n luan, made Himself God (John s., 33). Whot spectacle Is this, thf Creator bated hy tho creature, sticklers tor tbo Sabbath ,lav seeking to kiil the Lord ol the Sabbath! Yet sueh Is religion that it not ot Ood,
19. "Then nnswcred Jesus and said unto them. Verily, verily, I say unto you. The Hon can do nothing of Himself but what H« seeth tlie Father do, for what things soevci He dneth these also doeth the Son like¬ wise." Their unhellel nnd opposition did not and could not alter the fact* in tht caye, so without argument Ho quicti} went on with His teaching. When one Is right, the onlv thing to do Is to keep rigid on Haying nud doing right, sure thnt thev who waragiilnst us .nhall bu ns nothing ant' us A thing of iinaght (tsa. xll., 12).
ao, "For tno Father lovoth the Son nnd shnweth Him all things thnt Himself doctb, and He will show Him greater works tliar theae that yo rany marvel." In chapter III. 35, "Tho Father loveth tbe Son nnd hath given all things Inlo Ills hands." In chap tf^x., 30, "I and Mv Father are one." In chapter xlv., 9. 10. "lie thnt hath seen Mi hath seen the Father; I am In the Father and the Father In Mo" In chapter xv., 9, wc read, "Aa the Fath'ir hntU l.ivud Me so have I loved ynu. " uud In xvll., 23, that tht Father loves us as He Iovc.h Ihe Sun. Wt wonder at the manifei^iatlon ot Goil In Chriat, hut what shnll wo say when wo rea.l that It is His pleasuro that Christ shouli! bo manifest In us? (Oal. II., 20; II Cor, iv, 11.)
21. "For ns the Father ralsetb up the dead and qalckeneth tbem, even so thr Son qulckeneth whom Ho will," In tht toilowing verses tbls Is explained as refer¬ ring not only to those who are dead tn sin, living In pleasuro unto themsolves (Epli. il., 1; I Tliu. v., r,i, but also to those whoso bodies are dead In the grave. In verses 211, 29, we read that all that are lu the graves shall hi^ar Ills voice and shall come forth either unto Ilfo or ,damnatlon.
22. "For the Father Judgeth no man, bul bath committed nil judgment unto the Son." Ho hntli apptdntod a dny In the whloh Ho will Judge tbe world in rlght- oousuesa by that mau whom He hath or¬ dained, whereof Hu hath given assurance unto all men In Hint Hu hath rnlsed Hlni trom the dead (Acts xvil.. 31). Oue day l-i with the Lord ns a thousand yenrs, and a thousand yeurs as ono dny (II rut. III., ttl. At thu beginning ot thu day shall bu tbe judgment ot tUti righteous, and ot the living nations, nnd nt tho ond ot tho day that ot tbs unrighteous,
23. "That all men should honor Ihe Son, sven as they honor the Father. Hu that honoreth not tho Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent Him." He will be honored by all kings and all nations, and to Htm evurv knee shall bow (Ps Izxit,, 11; Pbll. II.. 9, 10). A day is com¬ ing tn which overy high thing shall be brought down, aud the Lord alone exalted (Isa. II., 11. 17). He Is the only Saviour ol Hinnors (Acts lv., 12\ thu only JuiIbu ns wo saw lu tho lust verse, and He will be the only Ituler, tor Hu must reign till He both pnt nil things under His foet (I Cor. XV., 25).
2i. "Verily, verily, I say unto you. He Ibat hearcth My word and liclicveth on Him that sent .Me linth everlasting life nnd ihnll not comu Intu condemnation, but Is passed trom death unto life." Here Is the way ut life, doscrlbiil In chapter 1., 12, as receiving lllin, lu chaper III.. Hi, ns liellev- Ing on Him, and hern as hearing His word and liclleviug on Hlm. This verso wof blessed to my soul In tbn summer ul 1H7.! with a lili>sslug thut has lastod ever sincr md will to alletcrnitv. It wns somewhnt like this: Do yuu henrlheword uf Ood and liellovo thnt Jesus died for voti and rose iigaln. nnd do you receive film as yuur ¦faviour'? I tie. Then you bave cverlast ing lile.
