The President to-night has a dream: - He was in a party of plain people, and, as it became known who he was, they began to comment on his appearance. One of them said: - "He is a very common-looking man". The President replied: - "The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason he makes so many of them".

Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.

Let the people know the truth and the country is safe.

In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong; as silly and as wise; asbad and good.

Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief -- resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer.

The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed.

It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
