Garfield on Lincoln.

President Garfeld's favorite poet
was Tennyson, and the poem he loved
best was "In Memoriam." he fol-
lowing familiar stanzas from tl1ls poem,
which he.quoted in an address deliv-
cred in the House on the death OF
Lincoln, and which were more than
once applied to himself after his ac-
cession to the presidency, have o new
and melancholy interest and signiti-
canoe now. He was indeed
As some dlvinsly gifted man
Whose lie inlow estate began,
And on a simple village green
Who breaks his births invidious bar,
And g. asps the skirts OF happy chance.
And breasts the blows of cl rcumstance,
And grapples witi his evil star
Who makes by force his merit K nown,
And lives TO clutch the golden'keys,
To mould mighty states DEGREES
And shape tho whisper Of the throne.
And moving up fromlbigh to higher.
Becomes on fortunes browning slope
The pillar Of peoples hope,
The center Of worlds desire. y4rsa
On the occasion when he quoted the
poetry, Garfield said, and the words
have singular force and propriety
now:
There are times in the history OF
men and nations when they stand so
near the veil that separates mortals
and immortals, time from eternity,
and men from their God, that they
can almost hear the breathing an d
feel the pulsations of the heart OF
the Infinite. Through such a time
has the nation passed. When 25O,
600 brave spirits passed from the
field of honor through that thin veil
to the presence of God, and when at
last its parting folds admitted the
martyred President to the company
of the dead heroes Of the republict
the nation stood 80 near the veil that
the whispers Of God were heard by
the children of men. Awe stricken
by His voice, the American people
kne 1t in fearful reverence, and made
o sol emn covenant with God and
each other thai this nation should be
saved from its enemies; that all Its
glories should be restored
