S., was born in a ft>K cabin in Hardin County, Kcmtucy, on February r 12 th, 1S09. His parents were born in Virginia, and Abraham inheritc*d his mother’s saintly face and his father's stern will. At the age of seven, his fi ther moved to In- . diana and therv Abraham led a primi-, tive life. He went to school in u little lop cabin in the woods just loop enouph to rood, write and cipher. In all, his education amounted to only one year. But he read many books and picked up his education in his ex perience in traveling, etc., in later years. When Abraham was ten years old, his mother died. Eighteen months later his father married Mrs. Johns ton, an old neighbor in Kentucky, She was very fond of Lincoln and it was through her great influences that Abraham* became such a great (pan. He was roared ns farmer and con tinued that work until he beusime 21 years old. He even split mils, whien ..developed his muscles. Poverty and harshness of modern social jidvant- »- o ages strengthened the essential (de ment of greatness within him. * His first journey from home was on li big flint-boat wlrth he helped row down the Missb dppi River to New Orleans •in "the year 1 St:*, in April. When he returned home, ho v * Ued as clerk »n a s*oie.

He was always Whig in politics. For a time Lincoln was so interested in law until h«‘ was disinterested in polities, hut the Missouri Compromise rc-av- roused Hjs political spirits. Ho weft, all over the country m.* l rag speeches nn the Missouri Compromise. Ho was very much against slavery in the Southern States, and expressed his opinion so publicly before the Repub licans or Whigs, who also wanted the South to abolish slavery, uritd the Republicans, who-lived in the North, elected him as their President in the year I860. Thus ho was elected by, a Northern party who was very much 4 against the Southern people.— — , ~ JL The North aft< ry the Revolution .soon became very rich by making iron, woolen and cotton goods. The South Ix'came rich from cotton and was dependent upon the slaves. She sold her cotton goods to the British jnarket, and in return, she brought back her ships laden with .English goods, but the taritF was -o h gh o all the goods whh-h were imparted, and as the North alone profit. \ by it, the S.iuth opposed it, for it was idieaper l\vr her to buy the Aniern i v gkKid-.
