THE ELECTION. 231 Neither conductor, porter, nor any one else has any inkling thatAbraham Lincoln and the invalid brother of the lady are one and thesame.

() While Mr. Lincoln is eating bis breakfast in Wasbinoton, the con-spirators in Baltimore, who bad so carefully planned bis assassination,are comprehending that be has escaped them. Long ago, a poet far away in Oriental lands, wrote these comfortingand assuring words concerning Gods guardianship of bis children: For He sluill give His angels charge over thee to keep tliee in all thy ways.
