" Monroe's a Hue, good fellow, mid worth t$5,0OQ, ami we mean to be married within a year." " It hi not of him that I wiah to $ieak. Do you think it right to trifle with the feeling of Mr. Swaaee when you mean to marry another man." "What," said, she, with a pleased laugh, changing her attitude to one more natural aad leas liecoming, "do you think lie is getting serious?" " I certainly do thmk so, Nellie.

But Lincoln seemetl neer, as a rule, was comparatively free from anv troubles of the imagination. To quote Mr. MeConnell: "There was no romance m his (the pioneers) composition. He hwl no dreaminess; meditation was no part of hiis mental habit; a poetical fancy woukl, in him, have been an indication of insanity. If he reclined at the foot of a tree, on a still summer day, it was to sleep; if hegaaed out over the waving prairie, it was to search for the column of smoke which tohl of his enemies approach; if he turned his eyes towards the blue heaven. It was to wrtHtnost icate to-morrow's rain or sunshine.
