LINCOLN'S 1''AYORITII P01111
The following beautiful poem woe o
tioular favorite with President Lin
who often referred to IL as one of the 11
prodnotiono of the 1'luglfoll language.
in related by 1'. 13, Carpenter, the
lst, that while engaged in pnintinglMr.
8010'0 pietnre at the White House,
President said to him ono evening : "
Pools has been m „rent favorite with
for years, It was first shown to 1110 w
0 young lean, by it friend. The beauty
once struck ole, anis Hemmed it by he
1 would give a groat deal to know
wrote it, but have never been able to 00
tofu."
Oh 1 why should Ilia spirit of mortal
proud?
Like a swift flitting meteor, a fast -fl
clued,
A 110011 of the lightning, a break of
wave,
Bran 11813001 100111 life to his -rest in
gr.ove.
'.Cho leaves of the oak and the willow 01101
fade,
Be eoatter'd around and together ho laid,
Aud the young and the old fund the low and
the high,
Shall molder to dust and together shall die.
The child that a 1000(00 tended and loved,
Tho mother that infante affection who
proved,
Tho husband that mother' and infant who
bleeo'd—
Eaoh, all, are away to their' dwelling of
r'ost.
The maid on whose (shook, on whose brow,
is whose eye,
Showed:beauty 011c1 pleasure, her triumphs
are by ;
And the aleatory of those who have loved
her and praised,
Aro alike from the minds of the living
erased.
'The hand 01 the king that the scepter hath
borne,
The brow 0( the priest that the miler hath
worn,
The eye of the sage, and the heart of the
brave
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the
• grave.
The peasant whose lot was to HOW ted to
1•e01),
Tho herdsman who eiimb'd with his goats
to the steep,
The beggar, who wandered in search of his
bread,
Bayo faded away like the grass that we
tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion of
Heaven,
The sinner who dared to roman unforgiv-
en, 11110.Tho Wis011110.the foolish, the guilty and
just,
Have quietly mingled their hones in the
dust.
So multitudes go, like the flower and the
weed,
That wither away to let others second ;
So the multitude 0011100, oven those we bo-
holcl,
To repeat every tole that has often boon
told,
For lye ore the 611110 our fathers 111110 boon;
WO see tho same eights that our fathershave seen,
Wo drink 1110 00100 stream, and We feel the
sane sun,
And run the same course that our fathers
have run.
The thoughts wo aro thinking our fatherswould think;
From the death we are shrinking from,
•
they, too, world shrink ;
To the life wo are clinging, they, too, would
cling ;
But it speeds from the earth like a bird on
the wing.
They loved, but their story wo can not un-
fold,
They 0eorn'cl, but the heart of the haughty
is cold ;
They g.ieved, bot no wall from their shun -
bore will wine ;
They joy'd, bet the voice of their gladness
is dumb.
They died—aye 1 they died ; and Wo things
that aro now,
Who walls o11 the turf that Iios over their
their brow,
Who maks; in their dwellings 0 transient
abode,
Meat the changes they meet on tho pilgrim-
age road,
Yes, hope and despondence, and plena -aro pain,
Mingled together in sunshine and rain
And Lho sable and the tear, the song and
the dirge,
still follow nob other, like surge upon
serge.
'Tis the wink of an eye, 'tis the draught of
a breath,
From the blossom of health to the paleness
of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bior and theshroud--
011 1 wily should the spirit of n1ortal bo
proud ?

Although loo part of it is made of wire it is no heavier anti as cheap as

strand, being more easily well. The "Lyman" is the ONLY ribbon
fencing made in Canada, and is lunch superior to the imported fencing
