Cecil Countian On Lincoln

Through the kindness Of Sixth dis
trict friend we are in receipt OF the fol-
lowing poem by Judge King, of Chicago.
When boy Judge King lived near R,s-
ing Sun, going thence as young man to
Chicago, where he studied law, became
well acquainted with Mr.. Lincoln, who
appointed him to the Bench.-Ed.l
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
(By Judge Simeon W. King, one of Lin-
coins pail bearers.J
With hair disordered and unkempt.
With looks and dress severely plain;
From any change of style exempt,
Shall we e'er see his like again?
Walked we among thy fellow-men
With awkward and ungainly gait,
Thou vast in looks most glorious when
Holding SO firm the helm Of State.
Tho long and large thy bony hand,
1t penned the edict grand that gays
Freedom to all throughout the land.
Struck every fetter from the slave.
NO love had we for courts and kings.
For emptiness and show combined.
But sought the excellence that springs
From grandest domain OF the mind.
That furrowed brown and care-worn face
Stamped ye as one of high degree
In realm of thought, commanding place,
Closely akin to Diety.
Out with the tide of hurrying years
Forgotten names go rushing by:
Brighter and brighter thine appears
One of the few, mot born to die"
With well-nigh woman's tenderness,
Honest, and simple as child,
Thy memory this day we bless,
Our hearts with love for thee beguiled.
While love of liberty shall dwell
In freedom loving patriot breast,
Shall sire to son untiring tell
How in thy life the word was blest.
Tho granite shaft should pierce the sky
More lifting monument shall be
The love and veneration high
In which our hearts are holding thee.
