Tlucc ycaia ae last summer I accepted
and invitation horn my fiiend Williams,
v.'he then lc&idcd and still lesidcs in the
neithcin pait of Waukesha county, en
the eastern -hoieef one of these dunning
little lakes which have done se much te
make the ceuntiy f.imeut, as a summer
lcseil. It was a dtlujhtful spot, and air.
ai.d Jli.s. Williams, whom I had known
for .some ycais, ate delightful people.
The piemisc that my st.i wenlif be :i
pleasant one was all that any icasenahlc
meital could cpect.
After dinner my fiien 1 ceuduclcil me te
a room away fiein the noise and confusion
incident te a poitien of every f.umer's
home' and intieduced me te his mother,
called "GiamiiiKi "' by the f.niilv. and
who was lelcnctl te by the neighbors
as "Grandma Willi mis.' Only the day
bcfeie my new found venerable fiiend
enteied upon the l2d year of her :ic. Her
tieeting was ,ciiiiiuu and cordial. -Mr.
Williams Warren F. Williams, one of
the best known fanners in the county
explained that the character of Ids duties
was such that he could net lenuiu with
mc that afternoon, and Hut 1 would lese
nothing by his absence, as Gi.mdma "
was excellent company. 1 found her all
and far meie than had been tueinised.
SI.c was well picsened, had a .sweet voice
her mind was clear, memeiy imimpaiied.
She was also a most ch inning conversa
tionalist. Fer an hour we dicussed the
picsident, became enthusiastic ever the
gtew tli of thccetiutiy, gossiped about old
time and modem statesmen, and talked
about the iaihe.pl.. Her description of a
ride en the lirst raihead built en American
soil, the year it vra tcempletcd, which was
iii 1827, and the conipaiisens she diew,
were amusing in the extreme ' It was a
long, long timenne,"' .slid my entertainer,
" but I can sic that odd-looking little en
gine and these sdange and wendciful
cars just as though it weie yestciday.
Why, that little tmee-mile read they
called it the Gtaniie at Quincy, Mass.,
with all of it.-, cars, engine and ether piop piep

pense of biilieiis of dellais. Little we
thought, fifty j cars age, thai stieii lesults
would lollew the ueble eil'eiis nude at
Quiiic."
While the intelligent old l.i.ly was tc
liccting iijwii some of her texts thinking
of some of the changes 1 walked te the
window and looked out upon the gem of
a lake. Upen my ictuiu it se happened
that I changed my scat fi out the light te
the lelt side of ni.y.vjeneipbc and aheady
highly esteemed TiiMi'!. As I did se my
attention was utti.ictfd te a piece of fui u

ci.tdlc in her room'.' Leeking up
she caught mc e.'.eing the ldie,
and in the sweetest potable maiincr
said: "They -sill leek at the old ciadle,
just as j en aic looking at it. Would you
like te knew ite histeiy'."' I did desitc te
knew something about it, but had net the
icmiisite coinage te tell her that aeen
deiisLd and veiy brict ste.y about it would
answer eveiy put pese. Tin- fact that the
old ciadle was in her loom, by her side,
empty, and no ehihhen i.i Hie hmisc, and
the .eal she manifest! d when speaking of
it, led me te fc.u that the old lelie was iier
paiticular hobby. People who have hob heb
lues are cs-ential in this wet Id. but I de
net take kindly te them. Indeed, I really
iclisli taking myself away fiem them. I
h.uc steed b and seen a lew people lide
a few hobbies te death. That may account
for my peer appetite for hobbies and tin ir
lideis. 1 have noticed, tee, that mad
houses aic full of hobby lidcis. JJut be
fore I could make tip my mind le!eae the
loom, the histeiy of the old cradle began
te unfold, ami I have always been glad
that it did, for my vcneiable companion
was mnM,ciitiu tabling and gave a history
that is well weiih preset ing. The ani
mation shown by the old I...1 had gi tally
surpiicil me liein the lii;t." My suipiise
was iuci cased when her sketch of the old
cradle began. Her eyes spatkled, her
wiinkled cheeks weic net as crimson as
the romping school gill's, but theyweie
quite lesy. After relating that the old
cradle was nude fiein bear.is hewed fiem
an apple t:ee which for many ycai-i gicw
en thcgieuml where new stands the pala
tial lesidenec of the Hen. Mai shall Jewell
in llaitfeid, Connecticut, and that the
lice was killed by a lightning slieke, she
kept me in anxious suspense by ii:ing hci
eyes en the ltlic and keeping them theie
for at least ten minutes-. AVhcj they were
i.nised, two tens fell fiem them, miuking
each witheied cheek, and theie w.i-. meie
than a slight ticinm in hci voice as she
spoke.
"It is a long, long story, condense it as
j e;i may, and perhaps it is best th.-t I de
net attempt te relate it."
I had ahead he.ud cu.itigii te bjeenie
deeply iuleic-ted, and instead el feeling
like Hying fiem what I had fe.ucd might
be another hebby-r.ding exhibition, I
earnestly begged her te piececd, and net
te think of condensing, en my account.
Heie is her story :
"Ofeeuise you will be suipiised when
I tell you that this old ciadle which has
been one of my daily companions the past
year, was made in 171" in the hill, which
makes it 102 jcai.s old. My giandmether
who, bless her soul, is dead, was the hist
occupant, the, day it was finished, iseven
of her biethcis and sistcis, mv gieat uncle
and aunts occupied it. My mother and a
blessed mother she was, tee, was locked
in it, as weie nine bieihei sand sisters
my uncles and aunts. My mothers clever
cluldicn, including nvyself, weic iecke.1 in
the same old ciadle. Ueing the fit st child
it fell te my let te de a gi-eat deal of rock
ing. Think of mc as a little gill in home
spun, standing by the cradle and rocking
rosy-faced babies. Bless me if I had
a penny for each time I have
seen this lock back and feith, I could buy
a dozen of the best farms in Waukesha
comity. If I de net stick closely te my
text you must overlook it, for you kuew
people especially ladies of my age, the
giddj cicatuic.s. aie apt te be mere or less
Highly. I had live bejs and five gills.
They all weic locked in the old cradle in
which their grcatgraiidmether, giand giand
eother and mother had found consolation
and slumb2i times without number. In
accerdancs with the established custom
my eldest daughter came into possession
of it the moment she had occasion te use
the cradle, and in it she rocked eight of
my grand-children. 3Iy first grand
daughter rocked nine little ones in it. and
her first child rocked my first gi cat grand
child. About a year age the little one
left it and I begged se hard te have it by
my side the remainder of my days that
they let me have it. Whem I am net
reading, sleeping or at my meals, I sit by
the side of the old cradle and lecall the
chubby little faces I have seen in it, think
of them as their possessors gicw te man
hood and womanhood, and reflect upon
the leceids they made Counting visiting
and neighbor babies, it has held mere
than enough feia regiment, including girl
babies, statesmen, seldieis, judges and
men and women of nearly all stations in
life have slept between these rough beards
Rut I must net draw en the fancy. The
facts will absorb time enough.
"Three of my gieat uncles and two el my
uncles were soldiers under General Wash
ington in the Revolutionary war. One of
them, a major, was killed atGeimantewn.
The ethers ictuined te" their Connecticut
homes after the war, one being a colonel
and the etheis holding commissions of

Congress early in this century. Only think
of it, they who defended our country meie

babies and slept in this cradle. Four of
my uncles were soldiers in the war of 1812.
Twe of them fought at Xew Orleans under
Jacksen. One was a major, two captains
and one a lieutenant. The major was an
eminent lawyer, amtevas a supreme court
judge in Connecticut at the time of his
death. One of the captains was elten in
the Legislature, and served one term as
speaker of the Assembly. One of my
biethcis and two of my sons were in the
Mexican war. Ueth of my boys were
wounded at the storming of Mexico. One
was a captain and the ether a lieutenant
when they came home My biether re

"In the last wai eleven of my grandsons
weic seldieis. It was luid te have the
line fellows go, but they were needed, and
I would net have pievcnted their enlisting
had it been in my power. I hated slavery,
and felt fiem the stait that the war would

Washington, Dec. 11, 1SG4.
My Deai Mis. Williams : Yeit will be
glad I did net answer your first letter
when I tell you that the pen which fur
nishes a contribution te the old cradle has
this moment signed a commission which
makes one of veur grandsons, Jehn T.
Gilbert, 'of whom you speak, a brigadier
geneial of volunteers. Yeu say you are
praying for the war te end. Se am I, but
I want it te end light. Ged alone knows
hew anxious I am te see these rivers of
bleed cease te Hew ; but they must Hew
en until treason hides its head.
With high rcg.nd,
A. Lincoln.
General Grant did net seem te lie en
thusiastic ever the ciadle. He simply
said :
I am "lad it will please veu te net .i
weul fiem me U. S. Gutxr.
Mr. Hayes said :
I congratulate you upon ariivingatsiich
a gtand old age, and hope you will live for

would tell a queer story if it could talk.
Mis. Hayes joins tin hi geed wishes.

Ri riii:i:reKiI. Hayis.
When I handed "Giaudma' the letters
she said : " New. take your knife and
chip a piece fiem the rocker of the old
cradle and c.ury it .is a keepsake.' Meney
