1878.] BBI^dttT OP THE SECRETARY. 56 



"Homo sum; nihil humani 

 A me alieimm puto." 



Muster in your cavalry, if you will, aud enroll your torch-bearers 



Nay, barbecue your beef, if you cannot stomach steaks after the Aby- 



sinian method ! And yet life must, in the after years, havp some 



higher aspiration than for a complete mastery of such politics as grind 



their grist for the silver-gambler or stock-jobber, or even dominate the 



sand-lot and sewer. 



All which is respectfully submitted, by 



EDWARD WmSLOVV LINCOLN, 



Secretart/.
