passionate outburst; she felt too much
pain and anxiety for this natural relief.

Perhaps the m o « famous address
ever made by P r é « dent Lincoln la the
one that he delivered at ths dedication
o f tbs soldiers’ monument on the bat­
tlefield o f Gettysburg, and tbs words
m o « quoted from It are “ the govern­

fo r tbs people.” This phrase waa, no
doubt, an unconscious quotation, for
the asms words were used by Theodora
Parker In an address to the Anti-Slav­

tbe phrase original with Parker. Dan­
