_ Together. _ -
Samuel Scoville, jr., grandson ot-
Henry Ward Beecher, writing in the
"Sunday School Times” (Philadelphia).
tells _of a secret meeting 'between Presl-
dent Lincoln and his grandfather in
18622. . `
“Late one evening a stranger called
at his (Mr. Beeche‘r's) 'home and askeé
to see him. Mr. Beecher was working
alone in his study, as was his 'usuai
cu-stomfaxnd this stranger refused-.tc
send up his name, and-came muffled ir.
a. military cloak which completely hid
his face. 'Mrs. Beecher’s suspicious
were aroused, and she ,was very un-
willing that he should have the inter-
view' which he requested, especially as
Mr. 'Beecher's life -had been frequently
threatened by syrnpathizers of the
South. The latter, however, insisted
'that his visitor be shown up. Accord-
ingly the stranger entered, -the doors
were shut, and for hours the wife below
could hear their voices and their foot-
steps -as they -paced back and forth-
Flnally, toward midnight, the mysterl~
ous visitor went -out, still muffled lr
his cloak, .so that it was impossible tc
gain any idea of his features.
“The years went by. The war was
dnlshed. The President had sulfered
martyrdom at his post, and it was not
until shortly before _ Mr. Beecher!
death, over twenty yes-re later, -that -li
was known that tho mysterious stran-
ger who had called on the stormy .win-
ter nlght was Abraham Lincoln. The
stress--and strain of»t_hoae:dsys<snd
-nithtl of striltllli. with all the'tQIP°n-
siblilties and sorrows of s nation ight-
lng for its life thrust ppon him, had
broken down his strelll'il» and for
stlme undermined even his courage.

-battles and the Watcher over' the rlzht.
until they had received the- help which
He had promised to those who seek His F
aid. W-hatevfer were the convlctltins
and religious belief of Abraham Lin-
coln, there ls no doubt that he 'believed
in prayer, and made that the source or
his strength.”
First Aid to the Injured.
It seems e. pity th-at among the
many methods offered to 'the week
of our generation for the undoing
of 'bad habits and the counteractlrig
of the consequent physical ills, the in-
tellectual backsliders of the day should
be left to shift for themselves. If nico-
tine and alcohol go down before No-
tobac and the Gold Cure, who shall
say, for instance, that thenovel habit
would not yield to proper treatment?
Vi-'ill no philanthropic alienlst give us
an effectiveliterary antiseptic, a yel-
low-journal antitoxln, or a French
novel gerrnlclde? -Meanwhile New York
“Life” suggests a few handy remedies
which! have been found efficacious lu
emergencies.
Cases of 'New York "Journal" Jaun-
dlce,» exhibiting s. marked ‘contempt
for facts and the gradual development
of a yellowstreak, may be arrested, if-
taken very early, by homeopathic
treatment. Dose: Fifteen #minutes of
day-before-yesterday’s paper immedi-
ately after breakfast. _
Intellectual dyspepsia, following
overlndul-gence in spiced I§‘rench en-'
trees and Russian translations, re-
quires careful treatment. A low diet
is often recommended, such as the "La-
dles’ Home ‘Journz-11” and “Once a
Vlfeek." We prefer a few 'months
among the Literary Mountains.
Historical Romantimania is generally
regarded asiharmless. It is apt to be-
come chronic, however, if neglected. A
case will seldom resist a. few doses of
the dramatized versions.

Pure Reason” and one grain of tooth-_

'haven always performed the at/est

adult who takes up the vibriii may get
much amusement and pront from his ml
strument, but he _cannot hope' to master
it. A certain increase of- acility, how-
ever, the belated reader may surely ex- _
pect to gain from some sort of observ-il
ance of- this simple principle of adjust-
ment. -
This anxious but unskilled reader is
too likely to have a. set gait, so many
words to the minute or lines to the hour.
An essay, an editorial, a. chi:-pter in a
novel or in thc Bible, a scient' c article,
a short story, if they contain the same
number of words, take u just the same _
amount of this misguides person’s time.
No wonder reading becomes an incubusi
to him, with the appalling monotony of
itgsprocession of printed words tiling end-
le y before  He really has time-i
eno h if he knew how to make use of `
it. uében Holden keeps him busy for up
week or more; it should be read in a'
the _happy render who can get Quentin
andhis sabelle satisfactorily married in
six hours does not. The trained reader
readjusts his focus for each objective.
Milton may be read in words or lines,
Macaulay in sentences, Thackeray in'
paragraphs, Conan Doyle in pages. The
eye, that is, readily gains the power of
taking in words in groups instead of
separately. How large a. group the
gln.nce.can manage varies with the seri-
ousness of the subject. With the same
degree of concentration, eye and mind;
will take care of _a page of the “Prisoner
of Zenda” as easily as they can absorb n.
line of Macbeth, or one of Fitzgerald’si
qimtrains. _
Of course this disposes of the indo-
lent lolling style of reading-or rather
makes a rare indulgence of it." When one
cccasionu-lly comes upon the 'novel of his
heart, or the poem he has waited for, he -
may, well _afford to# -consider it .at ‘his
luxurious leisure, minimizing_labor by
dilntoriness. Butt “nie _ g._;rlIle__j ,Qies _iifidely
