There are many lives like to certain streams, larger at their source than ever after. They start off with some promise from the parent fountain, but receiving no wayside accessions to their strength, are gradually absorbed, or stagnate and sink, having refreshed no living thing, vegetable or animal. Mr. Lincoln's life was not one of these. Originating in the lower slopes of the mountains, and, by that law of progress which was native to him, and fostered by the institutions of the country, cutt...ing itself a channel through fertile lands, it swelled into a majestic river, adding beauty and richness to all the territory that it touched. It has been, and still is, often said that he was a common joker, a frivolous jester, wanting in depth and earnestness of character. This is not true. In the depths of his soul there was earnestness as true and pure as ever inspired a human breast. He was fond of a story — joking was a relief to him ; he used jokes as JEsop did fables. Wit is often hard and harsh ; humor is ever allied to kindness.
