Andrew Jackson Perfect Gentleman.

Andrew jackson a Perfect Gentleman.
Judge Sage relates a good story that
James E. Murdoch, the veteran reader
once told him Of David Crockett, the
eccentric and big-hearted Crockett, who
it is claimed, invented the maxim.
First be sure you are right, then go
ahead" Murdoch was an acquaintance
Of Crockett, and he tells that on one
occasion Crockett, assured him that
Gen. Jackson was the politest man iIe
had ever met. 1t was while jackson
was President that Crockett paid his
respects at the White House.
1.-The President was glad 10 see me,
and we talked long time, said Crock
EFT, "and finally the General asked me
if wouldn't like to have drink, say
ing that he had fine brand that was
the real old stuff, and of course /
couldn't refuse the President. So he
went and brought it out, and he didn't
pour out drink and hand it to me, and
he didn't tell me to pour one. lie didn't
bring out any glasses at all; but in gen.
uine, good old true Texan style he
handed me the demijohn and then
turned his back, and | swung it upon
my arm and began to pull at it. Such
liquor had never tasted, and couldn't
let go for long time, but the Presi.
dent never turned around until / said
Bob, and tell you that is what call
real, true, genuine politencss, and that
is why say that old Gen. Jackson was
the politest man ever knew"

Nor only have we become grossly
profigate in the use Of gifts but we
have prostituted them from their
original sacred meaning 70 the fla
grant display Of modern fashion The
wedding gift of modern times is os-
tentatiously displayed in many in
stances to the gaze OF the curious and
invites the criticisms of the vulgar.
On such occasions guests do not dis
cuss the devotion Of givers to the
bride, but the chief theme Of discus
sion is how literally some have ven.
tured in the gift line. and how meanly
others OF ample means have exhibited
their generosity. The fitting sequel
of such exhibitions of the prostitution
OF the sentiment that created gifts.
comes in many instances in the specu-
lation that sells or barters away many
OF the gifts which have been dupli-
Gated or are not needed by the re.
cipient. The gift itself with the rare
exceptions when it comes from those
whose affection is warmly appreciated,
has no value beyond It's commercial
price, and that is often measured for
the purpose OF calculating what may
be realized or what must be given in
return.

THE LAND OF LONG AGO.

Sometimes, when thrushes sing, or sweet bells
chime
Far of and faint across the silent sea,
Or south wind watts the breath Of sunny Cline
Or ring-doves coo their love by babbling rills,
Or the fair priestess Of the dawn, star-eyed.
Trails her white robe above the eastern hills;
Down dim way where stately lilies blow
see the land-the Land Of Long Ago
Then memory beckons, and with trembling feet
] tread the ways where life was once so sweet:
See this dear face, that sleeps where marbles
shine,
And that--but oceans 'twixt US roll their brine
Dear ones, will you not come to me once more
And smile and kiss me as in days Of yOre:'
All. foolish heart, when will you learn to know
None eer return from the dead Long Ago?'
but give me back my JOY, the dreams OF youth,
Hopes rosy visions, or the lamp Of Truth:
Roll back Times record from the dial plate
And snatch a trophy from the grasp of Fate"
Again gazed with wildly streaming eyes
On the dread angel that so much Denies
Again the still voice breathed DER fields Of
snow:
"These are the treasures Of the Long Ago"
Alas that land! that Land of Long Ago:
No resurrection shines above its snow:
Memory may enter. but a flaming sword
Forbids with menace stern Hopes tender word,
The Past is gone-the Now We grasp full fond
And the To Be looks darkly from beyond
And still the years roll on with ceaseless flow
Into the silence Of the Long Ago
Oh. Land Of Long Ago.

THE YELLED PROPHET.
Final Arrangements for His Maj
esty's Annual Visit.
Arrival by Water and Military Parade On
saturday-Grand Parade and Ball
on Tuesday-Fair Week
Attractions.

ST. Lows, Sept. 90 The ve1led
Prophet will arrive the day after to-
morrow, and every one Is now discuss
lug the details of his grand entree and
of the magnificent festival, parade and
ball of next Tuesday. For fourteen
years in succession the mystic monarch
has visited the city. arriving every year
in secret manner, and not making his
appearance until the parade. But this
year the carnival at st. Louis is so much
grander than anything which has pre-
coded it, that His Majesty has decided
to make formal entree, and he will
accordingly arrive by boat on Saturday
afternoon. He will be met by the First
regiment N. e. NJ, and by a large dele
cation of influential citizens. The
Prophet will hold reception at the
Exposition in the afternoon and will
then retire to his ''den," from which he
will emerge on Tuesday afternoon.
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1892-10-06

The parade on Tuesday will be a
magnificent spectacle, unusual trouble
and expense having been incurred in
preparing the floats and moving spec
tacles, while from the $4,000 gas
and electric lights brilliant rays of
countless shades will add to the SPLEEN
dor and magniicence of the scene.
Enormous crowds will view the parade
from points of vantage along the route,
and excursion trains will be run to the
city from various locations. Specially
low rates for the carnival will be made
by the various railroads next week, and
it will be possible to secure round-trip
tickets for one fare from nearly every
depot in this section.
Advantage should be taken of this op-
portunity, for the attractions next
week are so numerous that fresh enjoy
ment can be found every day. The ex-
position, with it's four concerts daily by
the grandest band in America; the fair,
with special attractions in the ring
every day, to say nothing of the Yelled
prophet and of the magnificent illumi-
nations of Tuesday and Thursday, will
combine to make the first week of Octo-
Der, 1892, a week never to be forgotten
by residents in. or visitors to. the great
western and southwestern metropolis.

THE. GOOSE NEST FARM.
Old Home of the Lincoln Family in Iii

Old Home of the Lincoln Family in ILL.,
nois.
Near the graveyard where Lincoln's
father and stepmother rest, seven miles
south of Charleston, Ill, in place
then known as Goose Nest, the Lin
coins made their final settlement on re.
moving from Indiana. Here Abraham
Lincoln assisted his father in getting
settled" as they called it. He helped
him build a log cabin, and cleared for
him a patch of ground. and when he
saw him under Roadway" in the new
country babe him good-by and started
north afoot. He found employment not
far from Springfield, H., where the
active part Of his early life was spent.
Though he did not inger long in the
Goose Nest cabin, he was there long
enough to stamp his individuality Cd
every heart for miles around, and many
are the stories told of his soiourn
among those people. 1t was my lot to
be born and reared few miles from
the early home of the Lincolns, and
many are the incidents I picked up in
conversation with the old settlers about
our neighborhood. all of whom knew
Lincoln we'll. was shown IL bridge
he helped to build, and many other
relics of his boyhood days.
One very old man told me that he
once rode up to Thomas Lincoln.s cabin
and inquired if he could spend the mig ut
there. He was informed that tn house
afforded only two beds, and one OF these
belonged to a son who was then ut
home; but if he would get the conss ut
of this boy to take him i'll as beoerl
low, he could stay. The strange dis.
mounted, and soon found the six-foot
boy in the back yard lying Oh board
reading. The boy consented, and TIE
man slept with him that night TIE
boy was Abraham Lincoln. and the
other never tires Of telling how he
spent the night with the future presi.
