ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 11 It is considered the right of young men to make the best terms they can with fortune and the world. It is hardly fashionable to be very nice in consulting conscience on such a point. But not so thought Abraham Lincoln.

" Rather than surrender his principles, he would prefer to be assassin- ated on the spot, " — so he tells us in words that seem prophetic.
