I said to Jjincolu,**Now there isn't another man living who is equtil to the task."* T„ln- „ coin replied: "This government don't depend on the life of any one man or Wlf ten men. If we should all die to- be ten men who could do it as well as we.*' 1 didn't feel s*. That night was about as sad ft night as I ever passed In mv life! The next mornin? 1 went over very •trly to the White House. "Well," said Lincoln, "you have got a secretary.v Said I,"Who i« he?" "Oh,yon will like , him; he's just the man for the place. I Shouldn't wonder if he would he here In a few minutes/' While he was talking Fessenden p$hed In, as white as a sheet. Said he- kI can't--I won't--there's no use-- there's no use talking about it--I am a •Ick man." and so on. Mr. Lincoln got up--threw his arm It was so n: 1ft#er Fessendnn's shoulders, long you would think it was gof:isr arouni him three or four times. Said he, "Pitt, every time I have seen my. Wiv clear tomakeanappointment.it has been just as I predicted. My mis­ takes have been when I have listened to other people. Last night I saw my way clear to appoint you secretary of the treasury. You are as certainly called to this place by the Almighty-as *ny man ever is when he employs hu- man means to bring tilings about.'" Lincoln spoke it not with any put on solemnity--there was an earnestness abont it that Fessendeu or anybody else couldn't resist. He stood there a few minutes.with his h»ad down. Mr, Lincoln continued talking, and said, "Tou are In the regular line of promo­ tion. Chase lias been before you con- tly," . inally Fessenden said, U1 will think It." "No yon won't! It's 12 o'clock now." Mid Lincoln, "Your commission will be here in a f«w minutes. Get yourself ready." T Incoln in a minute changed the le thing and Fessenden was signing by 12 o'clock.

It has had many imitators, but none hare so fully met all the requirements needful for tho proper treatment of the hair and scalp. HALL'S IIAIK Ri-newf.R has steadily grown in favor, aud spread its fame ami usefulness to erery quarter of the globe. Its unparal­ leled success can be attributed to but one cause: the entire fulfilment of its promises. The proprietors liave~often been surprised at the receipt of orders from remote coun­ tries, where they had never made an effort for its introduction. The use for a short time of HALL'S HAIR Rknkwkr wonderfully improves the per­ sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It stimulates the weakened glands, ami enables them to push forward a new and vigorous growth. .The effects of this article are not transient, like those of alcoholic -prepara­ tions, but remain a long tiwej wlucli makes its use a matter of economy.
