107 YEARS AGO
TOD A Y LINCOLN
WAS BORN
—Continued from Page 1—
village, loved by all who knew her.
She was probably the most refined
woman to whom Mr. Lincoln at that
time had ever spoken. He was al
ways welcomed by her father and
mother. The latter he always cal
led “Aunt Polly” in his familiar
way. Both father and mother en
tertained him for a deep affection,
and though they never openly ex
pressed themselves in regard to
Ann’s choice of a husband, yet they
would, without doubt, have rejoiced
to receive the manly Abe Lincoln
into their family. He lighted up
their home with a cheerful glow
whenever he entered, and he gave
a pleasant flow of mirth and joy
to their conversation. Ann’s rela
tives were all united in encouraging
the suit, which the young man pres
sed with great earnestness, but she
firmly insisted that ber honor de
manded her to wait until she could
bo released from her first engage
ment before she could make a sec
ond. In 1835 she and Lincoln
were formally and solemnly be
trothed, but she asked to wait ano
ther year, hoping that McNeil would
return and that she might release
herself from her engagement to
him. Weeks and months passed
and he returned not. While she
was waiting, Lincoln was studying
night and day to make himself
worthy of Ann, and while he was
growing in mind and body and
daily developing the great intellect
that was to fit him to lead a mighty
nation through a fierce struggle of
war Ann was hourly fading away.
In August, 1835, she died, as her
physicians said, of brainfever, but,
as her neighbors believed, of the
long series of disappointments and
the pangs inflicted upon her heart
and mind in striving to do right in
regard to her two lovers to whom
she had pledged her hand. Ann
was buried at the little cemetary
at New Salem, and as the future
President stood over her green
grave with streaming eyes he said,
“My heart lies buried here.” After
the burial he began to exhibit that
deep vein of gloom and sadness so
often noticable in his conduct while
President. He lost all self-control
and every friend he had in New
Salem pronounced him insane. He
was constantly watched, and with
especial viligance, soys one of
his neighbors, “during storms, fogs
and damp or gloomy weather, for
fear of an accident.” At such time
he would rave piteously, saying,
among other expressions, “I can
never be reconciled to have the
snow, rain and storms to beat upon
her grave.” His friends finally suc
ceeded in securing him in a log
hut a little way from town, where
he was watched over with anxious
solicitude for a few months, until
he appeared to be restored to his
reason, but traces ,of sadness al
ways lingered in his character. He
visited the cemetary daily and wept
over the grave. At this time he
was heard frequently to repeat a
few lines of that poem he so often
recited in after years, entitled,
“Why should the spirit of a mortal
be proud?” Some nights as he
left the grave of Ann Rutledge he
was heard to murmur portions of
it. On the night of March 22,
1864, as ho sat in the White House,
ho dropped his Pen> turned from
j his letters, and with half closed
I eyes repeated it entire to a friend.
LINCOLN’S IMMORTAL WORDS
AT GETTYSBURG
Four score and seven years ago
our forefathers brought forth on
this continent a new nation, con
ceived in liberty and dedicated to
the proposition that all men are
created equal.
Now wo are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that na
, tion, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure,
We are met on a great battlefield
of thi^ war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field as
a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that na
tion might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot
dedicate—we cannot consecrate, we
cannot hallow'—this ground. The
brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here have consecrated it
far above our poor power to add or
detract. The world will little note
nor long remember what wre say
here, but it can never forget what
they did here. It is for us, the
living, rather, to be dedicated here
'to the unfinished work which they
have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is, rather, for us to be dedicated
to the great task remaining before
us—that from these honored dead
we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last
full measure of devotion—that we
here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain—that
this nation, under God, shall have a
new birth of freedom—and that the
overnment of the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the
"arth.
It has often been said—and right
ly so—that Lincoln had two dis
tinct sides to his nature; the hum
epous and the serious. One of the
best stories he used to tell about
himself is the following:
Two Quakeresses w'ere traveling
on the railroad and were discusing
the probable termination of the war
“I think,” said the first, “that
Jefferson will succeed.” “Why does
thee think so?” asked the other.
“Because Jefferson is a praying
man.” ’’And so is Abraham a pray
ing man.” “Yes; but the Lord will
think Abraham is joking!”
