Yes, this is he: That brow all wisdom, all benignity; That human, humorous mouth; those cheeks that hold Like some harsh landscape all the summer's gold; That spirit fit for sorrow, as the sea For storms to beat on ; the long agony Those silent, patient lips too well foretold. Yes, this is he who ruled a world of men As might some prophet of the elder day Brooding about the tempest and the fray With deep-eyed thought and more than mortal ken. A power was his beyond the touch of art Or armed strength his pure and mighty heart. Richard Watson Gilder. LINCOLN WIDE AWAKES OF 1860 One of the peculiar introductions into the first Lincoln political cam paign was the Widge Awake marching clubs, which, it has been claimed, went very far toward winning for him the election. These political marching bodies met with so much success that the custom was continu ed for more than a score of years thereafter, says the Philadephia Press. The uniform of the Wide Awakes consisted of a cap and a large cape of enameled cloth, and each one carried a torch. The capes were of a variety of cclor3, and naturally a procession of Wide Awake? was picturesque and striking. Many of the clubs had "Wide Awrkci" stamped upon the capes as well as other insignia. The torch was a small tin fount with a burner and a wick for kerosene fast encd to a stick about the size and length of a broom stick. Toward the end of this campaign a few compan ies came out with a swing torch. The Wide Awakes were carefully drilled by their captains, and many of them on parades would go through in tricate evolutions. These clubs were organized all over the country, and if an outlying town or village had a pro cession or nag raising the clubs of the vicinity were supposed to turn out and frequently marched several miles in doing so. It has been estimated that there were more than 2,000,000 voters in duly organized Wide Awake clubs. Some historians have made the as sertion that was the Wide Awakes that elected Lincoln, and this is prob ably not very far from the truth. The movement seemed to be spon taneous outbursts of the people from one end of the north to the other. Every town, village and city had its c any of Wide Awakes, marching, c t and maneuvering;. , 1 -C ", paign. Hon. Cassius M. Clay was the speaker, and after the meeting was escorted to the Allyn House by a torchlight parade. Two of the young men who were to carry torches D. 6. Francis and H. P. Blair being dry goods clerks, in order to protect their clothing from dust and oil liable to fan from the torches, had prepared capes of black cambric, which they wore in connection with the glazed caps commonly worn at the time. Colonel George P. Bliss, who was marshal, noticed the uniform, put the wearers in front, where the novelty of the rig and its double advantage of utility and show attracted. It was proposed at once to form a campaign club of fifty torch bearers, with glazed caps and oilcloth capes instead of cambric. A meeting to organize formally was appointed March 6, but before the new uniforms were ready Abraham Lincoln addressed a meet intr in Hartford on the evening of March 5. After his speech the cap wearers of the previous meeting, with a. number of others who had secured their uniforms, escorted Mr. Lincoln to the hotel. The club was definitely organized on the following night. Just one year thereafter this club attended tne in ausruration of Lincoln in a body. The Wide Awakes were organized Dy Dom political parties in later campaigns. LINCOLN (By Richard Henry Stoddard.) This man, whose homely look upon, Was one of Nature's face you masterful great men; Born with strong arms, that unfought battles won, Direct of speech and cunning with the pen. Chosen for large designs, he had the art Of winning with his humor and he went Straight to his mark, which was the human heart; Wise, too, for what he could not break he bent. Upon his back a more than Atlas load, The burden of the common-wealth, was laid. He stooped and rose up to it, through the road Shot suddenly upward, not a whit dismayed. Hold, warriors, councilors, kings! All now give place To the, dear benefactor of this race! TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN I am speaking on the occasion of the celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and to men who count it their peculiar privilege that they have the right to hold Lincoln's memory dear and the duty to strive to work along the lines the he laid down. We can pay most fitting hom age to his memory by doing the tasks allotted to us in the spirit in which he did the infinitelv greater and more terrible tasks allotted to him. Theodore Roosevelt. It took his countrymen full four years to find Abraham Lincoln out. By the light of the campfires of vic torious armies they learned to see the outline of his gigantic figure, to assess the integrity of his character, to comprehend the majesty of his conscience, and, when at last they looked upon his careworn face as the nation reverently bore his body to the grave, through their, tears they saw him exalted above all thrones in the affection of the human race. Jonathan P. .Dolliver. Solemn and mirthful, strong of heart and limb, Tender and simple, too; he was so near . To all things human that he cast out fear, And ever simpler, like a little child, Lived in unconscious nearness unto Him Who always on earth's little ones hath smiled. S. Weir Mitchell. Without an instant's hesitation I place Lincoln far above any other on vour shining list far above Bis marck, who created an empire; far above Gambetta, who saved a fallen people, or Mazzini, who helped put a new soul in another, or the Marquis Ito, who transformed some hermit islanders into the present first of Asiatic and peer of European powers. Whitelaw Reid. Lincoln the grandest figure yet on all the crowded canvas of the Nineteenth century. Walt Whitman.

LINCOLN (William Cullen Bryant's ode for the martyred President's obsequies. Read in New York, April, 1865.) Oh, slow to smite and swift to spare, Gentle and merciful and just, Who, in the fear of God, didst bear The sword of power, a nation's trust. In sorrow by thy bier we stand, Amid the awe that hushes all, And speak the anguish of a land That shook with horror at thy fall. Thy task is done; the bound are free We bear thee to an honored grave, Whose proudest monuments shall be The broken fetters of the slave. Pure was thy life; its bloody close Hath placed thee with the sons of light. Among the noble host of those Who perished in the cause of Right. LINCOLN (By James Whitcomb Riley.) A peaceful life; toil, duty, rest All his desire: To read the books he liked the best Beside the cabin fire God's word and man's; to peer sometimes Above the page, in smouldering gleams, And catch, like far herioc rhymes, The onmarch of his dreams. A peaceful life: to hear the low Of pastured herds, Or woodman's ax, that, blow on blow, Fell sweet as rhythmic words. And yet there stirred within his breast A fateful pulse that, like a roll Of drums, made high above his rest . A tumult in his soul. A peaceful life! They hailed him even . As One was hailed Whose open palms were nailed to ward Heaven When prayers nor aught availed. And, lo, he paid the selfsame price To lull a nation's awful strife And will us, through the sacrifice Of self, his peaceful life.
