Lincoln on the Law.
Hero is wlmt Abraham Lincoln said of the law: “Let reverence of law be breathed by every mother to the lisping btfbe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in the schools, seminaries and colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs; jet ,it be preached from pulpits and proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice; in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.” The great fortifications at Quebec,. which first and last have cost SBO,000,000 br $40,000,000, are crumbling down, and no effort will be made to restore them, for their military significance has passed away.
