Forgiveness Was
Preached Only a
Lincoln's Death.
Month Before
March 14, 1865, a month before the misdirected
passion of the war brought tragic death, of Lincoln,
he was still gentle, charitable and even tempered. In
his second inaugural address he said:
"Both* parties deprecated war; but one of them
woultl make war rather than let the Nation survive;
and the other would accept war rather than let it
perish. And the war came. * * *
"Neither party expected for the war the magni-
tude or the duration it has already attained. Neither
anticipated that the cause of the conflict might
cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should
cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a re-
sule less fundamental and astounding. Both read the
same Bible, pray to the same God and each invokes
his aid against the other. It may seem strange that
any man should dare to ask a just God's assistance
in wringing their bread from the sweat 'of other
men's faces; but let us judge not that we may be not
judged. The prayers of both could not be answered
—that of neither has been answered fully.
"The Almighty has his own purposes. 'Woe un-
to the world because of offenses for it must needs be
that offeneses come; but woe to the man by whom
the offense cometh.' If we shall suppose that Amer-
ican slavery is one of those offenses which, in the
providence of God, must needs come, but which, hav-
ing continued through his appointed time, he now
wills to remove, and that he gives to both the North
and South this terrible war, as the woe due to those
by whom the offense came, shall we discern through
it any departure from those divine attributes which
the believers in a living God always ascribe to him?
Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray—that this
mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet,
if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled
by the bondman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall
be sunk and until every drop of blood drawn by the
lash shall be paid by another drawn by the sword,
as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must
be said, 'The judgments of the Lord are true and
righteous altogether.'
"With malice toward none, with charity for all,
with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the
right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in;
to bind up the Nation's wounds; to care for him who
shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and
his orphan—to do all which may achieve and ceerish
a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all
nations."
THE BOY ON THE FARM.
From "Being a Boy," by Charles Dudley Warner.
Say what you will about the general usefulness
of boys it is my impression that a farm without a
boy would very soon come to grief. Wl)at the boy
does is the life of the farm. He is the factotum, al-
ways in demand, always expected to do the thousand
indispensable things that nobody else will do. Upon
him fall all the odds and ends, the most difficult
things. -
After everybody else is through he has to finish
up? His work is like a woman's—perpetually wait-
ing on others. Everybody knows how much easier
it is to eat a good dinner than it is to wash the dish-
es afterwards. Consider what a boy on a farm is re-
quired to do; things that must be done or life would
actually stop.
It is understood in the first place that he is to
do all the errands, to go the store, to the postoffice,
and to carry all sorts of messages. If he had as
Sany l ?gs as a centipede they world tire before night
is two short legs seem to him entirely inadequate
ti the task. He would like to have as many legs as
a wheel has spokes, and rotate about in the same
way.
This he sometimes tries to do; and the people
who have seen him turning "cartwheels" along the
side of the road have supposed that he was amusing
himself <ind idling his time. He was only trying to
invent a new means of locomotion so that he could
economize his legs and do his errands with greater
dispatch.
He practices standing on his head in order to ac-
custom himself to any position. Leap frog is one of
his methods of getting over ground quickly. He
would willingly go an errand any distance if he could
leap-frog it with a few other boys.
He has a natural genius for combining pleasure
with business. This is the reason why. when he is
sent to the spring for a pitcher of water, he is ab-
sent so long, for he stops to poke the frog that sits
o nthe stone, or, if there is a penstock, to put his
hand o 'er the spout and squirt the water a little
while.
He is the one who spreads the grass when the
men have cut it; he mows it away in the barn; he
rides the horse to cultivate the corn, up and down the
hot, weajy rows; he picks up the potatoes when they
are; ho drives the cows night and morning; he
brings wood and water and splits kindling; he gets
up the horse and puts out the horse; whether he is
in the house or out of it there is always something
for him to do.
Ju t before school in the winter he shovels the
paths; :n the summer he turns the grindstone. He
knows where there are lots of wintergreens and
sweetfl: gs, but, instead of going there for them, he
is to stay indoors and pare apples and stone raisins
and pound something in a mortar. And yet, with
his mil d full of schemes of what he would like to do
and his hand full of occupations, he is an idle boy
who hns nothing to busy himself with but school and
chores!
He would gladly do all the work if somebodv else
would do the chores, he thinks; and yet I doubt if
any boy ever amounted to anything in the world or
was of much use as a man. who did not enjoy the ad-
vantages of a liberl education in the wy of chores.

olution in 1.88 years.
The Major Planets.
Since the diameter of Neptune's
orbit is thirty times that of the
earth, it is not possible to repre-
sent the orbits of all the planets to
i the same scale satisfactorily with-
; in the limits of a small space. The
orbits of the terrestrial and major
planets are therefore shown insep-
arate plots, and the scale of the
latter is very much smaller than
'that of-the terrestrial planets. The,
| difference of the scales will be seen
by comparing the orbits of the
earth and Mars in the two plots; in
this way the continuity of the solar'
system will be apparent.
'Jupiter.
The plot shpws that the planet is j
above the J ecliptic and approachingj
the descending node. JuJ>iter's or-
bit is inclined at an angle of 1.3 de-
grees; the eccentricity is nearly
1-20—i. e., the center of the orbit is
23.3 million miles from the sun—
and at a mean distance of 483.3 mil-
lion miles, Jupiter, with a velocity
of 8.1 miles per second, completes
a revolution in 11.86 years. At
perihelion the planet comes within
460 million miles of the sun; and at
aphelion this distance is increased
to 506.6 million miles.
Saturn.
Saturn has a velocity of six miles
a second; and at a mean distance
of 886 million miles makes a revo-
lution in 29.46 years. The orbit is
inclined at an angle of nearly 2.5
degrees, with an eccentricity of a
little over 1-20, which reduces the
distance ♦> about 836 million miles !
at perihelion, and increases it to
about 936 million miles at aphelioh.
The planet is now below the ecliptic
and approaching perihelion.
I'ranus.
The linear eccentricity of the or-;
bit is the greatest in the solar sys-!
tem. This is on account of the vast
distance of the planet from the sun,
which is over 19 times that of the
earth. The eccentricity is less
than 1-20. The distance from the
sun to the center of the orbit is
82.5 million miles. With a velocity

SOCIETY HOSIERY
The Silk Stockings, With
the Style,the Wear and Fit
Coles Phillips, the famous New York artist, has said wo-
man must lavish most of her attention on the shoes and
stockings that dress her feet.
He is right. No woman of today can afford to wear ill-
fitting shoes and shoddy stockings, and no shoes, however
expensive, look well over a flimsy, cheap looking hose.
Society Stockings
Are woven of heavy pure silk, are exceptionally long, with
reinforced heel, sole and toe and double knit garter top. They
have all the durability of the old time lisle combined with
the beauty of the silk. In their weaving the greatest of care
has been taken, with the result that there is no unseemly
bagging at the ankle or instep.
SOCIETY STOCKINGS look their part—they are fine,
sleek and thoroughbred.
SOCIETY HOSIERY is not on sale at the shops, but
must be purchased from us direct by mail. In this way we
eliminate the dealer's profit, greatly reducing the cost to you
and ajso prevent the substiution of an inferior grade of hose.
These stockings positively will not run; they come in all
colors and will be sent by mail to any address, all charges
prepaid. If on inspection you are not satisfied—you to be
the sole judge-^-your money in full will be refunded.
