<h3>BENEVOLENCE IS BEAUTIFUL.</h3>
<p>Thaddeus Stevens accompanied a lady of his constituents to beg a
pardon of the President, her son being under death sentence of a
court-martial. The senator backing up the petition, it was granted.
The grateful woman was choking, and was led away by her escort,
without speaking in thankfulness. But at the exit she found her
voice, and burst forth feelingly:</p>
<p>"Mr. Stevens, they told me that the President was homely looking!
It is a lie! He is the handsomest man I ever saw!"
