Host oM men took forward to each succeeding birthday with appre- hension, hut you make me hail them with joy.

I knew an- other -who did the same at seveaty- alx, only he went to bed and remained . there for four years. I knew another who at eighty locked himself in hi3 house when he saw in the obituary column that anyone of a similar age a&d died. 3Jy- observation is that lou- geirtt3r aad happiness are In continaing to the extent of your strength the work which Is most congenial, and which you have been accustomed to do easily.

There, is a profound religious and ethical sentiment pervading our population which when favoring bt fighting a proposition always succeeds. For that reason our orators and poli- ticians <jn every matter in dispute are always appealing ftjr tirfs snpport and ever trying to create the Impression that every measure \which they desire is a moral necessity.

It has been my privilege to •know, more or less intimately, Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ar tour, Oeveland, Harrison. ilcKmley, Roosevelt and Taft. Speaking only of those who have joined the majority, Lincoln was the most human. He- sever posed as President. In talk-„ ing with him. you were listening to yon* neighbor -whop you Iove4 to hear to businesa associations, or the vUlage store, nr the farmers' gathering when yon were at home. His awkwardness invited confidence, and his story teDing inculcated lessons to brief whieh. ho length of argument Could convey. His unconventionality was the confident expression of his greatness. A veteran English states-:' man who was attached to the British; Embassy during the Civil War told toe last sutohier an incident never befwe- published. The British Minister at that time accredited to Washington was Lord Lyqns, He itas an English diplomat of the ol d school, dignified, formal, able and a bachelor. He often dined alone with full courses and full ceremony. In the midst of bis dinner President Uneoln would be announced, follow the servant into* the dining room and take his seat at the table. Of course with his ideas, the Minister was as astonished and complimented as: If it had been the King i n the coun- tries where be had before ^rredi He. would urge the Presjaent to join him to the dinner, but the President would answer,, according to my Informant, **Xo, Lyons, I have had my dinner.
