The mi-, u came to tho man because he was the man for the mission.

If American letters have produced nothing superlative ly groat, we have something super latively great to offer to history in the life of him, who was the saviour of the Nation and the restorer of our National Union.

It is well to emphasize every day, and more than ever at such a time as this, that Lincoln is a religion in our land, lest some of us imagine that the railroad-dividend or the yield of the mine, or the harvest of the fields, or the output o f the fac tory, or the cash-book of the ware house, is our religion. In the tem ple of deathless fame his memory is enshrined. We do not know whether his bust has been chosen to adorn a niche in the Hall of Fame on the L’ nivtrsitv Heights in Ne.v York; if not, it is because he is Fame. Ilis tomb at Springfield is not le-s sacred and precious than the grave at Mt. Vernon, each a revered shrine of the American peo ple, each a hallowed alter of hu manity. H. W . PAINTER .
