AN OLD LOG CABIN.
The Ban.)>le Home In WhleH Lliwela
riint Saw tho Light.
Twelve years ago the cabin in
which Lincoln was born was torn
down, and the logs were hauled to
an adjoining farm apd used in tho
construction of another house. The
old farm had practically been aban*
doned, and nearly all tho people in !
! the neighborhood had quite forgot
ten, a second time within a decade
since the death of Lincoln, that ho
was born on the Lincoln Spring
farm, as the place has always been i
called. The Lincoln birthplace is 51
miles southeast of lx.uisvil?.e. It can
be reached from Louisville by going
to Elizabethtown, in Eardin county,
a distance of miles, and then tak
ing another road from Elizabeth
•town to ITodgrusville, a ride of -12
miles. The Lincoln Spring farm is
three miles from this quaint old
town, on Kolin's creek, directly on
the public road leading from Hodg
ensville to Buffalo, a village six miles
to the east. It is a pleasant 20 min
utes’ drive over u good dirt road,
through u poor but interesting ooun
;-ry-
The original Lincoln cabin had
been torn down and the materials
had been moved away, ns Btaled, by
a man named Tom Davenport, who
used the logs in his own house.
Mr. A. Vs*. Bennett, a New York
gentleman, not long ago bought the
Bavt i port houae, recovered the logs,
and alter much difficulty restored
the cabin exactly' as it was origi
nally, using the very same timbers,
door, window and frames. It occu
pies the former site and is iu much
tho same condition s it was when
the Lincolns left it. The cabin in IS
feet long, lfi feet wide and about 12
feet high, counting from the floor
to the ridgepole. There is only owe
door and one window—the latter air
opening 20 inches square. * , v-.
A large open fireplace, built in
tho most primitive way, occupies
.nearly the whole of ono end of the.
cabin. Th chimney is oif
small logs, placed together juststs
log houses are built. Inside of it
flat stones -placed on the ground
made tiie hearth, and wide flat
stones placed against the logs kept
the fire within bounds and protect
ed the wooden chimney. Tho inside,
from the health stones to the top of
the chimney, was thickly daubed
with clay. The chimney reaches on
ly half way to the roof of the house
and is rounded off with small sticks.
This simple fireplace furnished most
of the light, all of the heat and the
sole means for cooking the meals
for the family.
The cabin did not have even u
loft, or second story, as have most
cabins. It was built by Thomas Lin
coln, father of the president, some
time about 1804 or 1806 and was en
tirely constructed with an ax and
Baw, the simple tools of the pkk
neers. The clapboard roof wus an
chored down by small logs laid
lengthwise on top of the rowsof oak
boards. There were no nailsor hard
ware. Tire door hinges were of wood,
and the paheless windows had an
inside board shutter held in place
by rawhide thongs. There were
chinks and mud between the logs,
and the punchedn floor was pegged
down. It is probable that after Abra
ham Lincoln’s grandfather was kill
ed by the Indians at Long Run meet
ing house, in Jefferson county, Ky.,
the family went farther into the
forest and took up a section of land
in Larue, then part of Hardin
county. Later, to better his fortune,
Thomas Lincoln left this farm on
Nolin’s creek and settled on Knob
creek, a dozen miles from Hudgens,
ville, and from there he went to In
diana and later to Illinois.—George
H. Ycnowine in St. Nicholas.
Treated Like Doga.
“As amattcr of fact,’* he said re
flectively, “it is only recently that
men have begun to treat their wives
liko dogs.”
“You astonish me.” she exclaim
ed. “I did not suppose such u thing
waß possible unde r the conditions of
civilization. ’’
“It is civilization that makes it
possible,” he replied shortly.
“Then nil that I have read tijion
the subject in history must be
wrong,” t he asserted.
“On the contrary, history is
right.”
“But all that I have Been is to the
effect that men treat their wives
better now than ever before.”,
“Unquestionably. But there nev
er was a time when they did not
treat their doge well.”—Chicago
Post.

It was the defection of Bauiel

from an adherent into a propagan

tion of the moral law by Wcbatei
wa* at the bottoh: of Emerson’s an

he recognized in Webster tho em

his attacks on him Emerson trem

differed so radically that it
sible to conipnro them, butSMJhu
translate tho Phi Eeta afU'l
dress into politics you have eatxhih
thing Stronger than Webster—some-, j
thing that recalls Chatham. And"
Emerson would have had this* ad-'
vantage—that he was not afraid. As
it Was,'he left his library and took
the stump.
Ip an address he said of Webster
‘Massachusetts in 1776 ho wtiulrL
beyond all question hove been a ref-*
ngo. He praises Adams and
son; but it is a past Adams and Jdfß
fertsott. ‘Jt present Adnms or Joffer*
sop h£ Vimild denounce. But one
tbipg certain to me—that
the Union is at an end as Boon as an
immoral law is enacted.”
Theexasperation of Emerson did
hot subside, but went on increasing
ditting the next four years,-and in
1864 lie-read his lecture on “The Fu
gitive Slave Law” at the New York
tabernacle, in which he said:* “I
never felt the cheek on my free
speech anil action until the other
day, when Mr. Webster by his per
sonal influence brought the fugitive 1
tttatTe law en4ho'c*rtrtrtfyr,l ray Mr.*
Webster, fw though tho trill wa
not liia, it id- yet notorious that he
was the life and soul of iLflmt he
gave it all be had.”
It was too late for Emprson to
shine as a political debater. Long
fellow wrote in his diary, "It is
rather painful to see Emerson in
the arena of politics, hissed and
booted at by young law students. ”
Emerson fccords a similar experi-.
, encc at a later date, “The mob roar
ed whenever I attempted to speak,
and after several beginnings I with
drew. ” There is nothing painful
here. It is the sublime exhibition of
a great soul in bends to circum
stance. Emerson by his writings did
more than any other man to rescue
the youth of the next generation
and fit them for (lie fierce times to
follow. It will not be denied that he
sent 10,000 sons to the war.—John
Jay Chapman in Atlantic.
Hough on tli* N( or tor nth Malar.
Major Parsons of the Nineteenth
Maine told this story: '
“There is some, doubt as to what
part the Nineteenth Maine played
in the war; though most of the boys
think it put down the rebellion. The.
fact is, the Nineteenth ate up the
Southern Confederacy. They stole
pigs, robbed hen roosts, cleaned out
orchards and cellars end foraged the
country so thoroughly that the re
bellion had Bothing left to feed on
and so lay down and died.”
Ti en At Wells of the same regi
me took up the thread of tho story:
“We weresweeping along oneday, 1
dining on the fnt of the land, as
usual. Another troop was ahead,
and between them and us rode Gen
eral Hancock. As the general was
passing one plantation the aged
proprietor came out and stopped the
general’s party.
“ ‘General,’ said he, ‘I want some
sort of safeguard. These troops that
have just gone hy stole my pigs,
lifted my hen roosts and emptied my
cellar. ’
“ ‘l’m sorry,’ said Hancock.
“ ‘Yes,’replied the oldman, ‘they
stole everything but my hope of im
mortality. Thank God, none of them
can steal that. ’
“‘Don’t be too sure about that,’
retorted the geneial. ‘Die .Nine
teenth Maine is coming ncxl.’”—
