SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1881.
An Ex-President Among His Neinbers.
llev. Dr. CausuiAii in the Guardian.
Princes and lords may lleuriah or may fade ;
A breath can make them as a breath has made.
On the Marietta turnpike, a short dis
tance west of Lancaster, Pa., is a plain
two-story brick building, stauding en a
slight elevation, some distance back from
the read. A perch extends along the
front, and the .style of the building is
quite plain, void of any of the se-called
classic adornments peculiar te mod
ern architecture. Although net .high,
this elevation overlooks a large part
of the finest portions of Lancaster
county. Towards the four points of the
compass, you liave an outlook such as
our country rarely affords. But for
certain features belonging te the sur
roundings of the mansion, a stranger
might take this te be the home of a plain,
retired Lancaster county farmer. A pass
ing traveler would net suspect that this
had ever been the hospitable home of a
president of the United States ; that along
the drives up the trentle slope of thus lawn
rode the then great men of the nation ;
that in this unadorned mansion plans
were formed and projects started and
matured which were felt through the civ
ilized world. This was the home of James
Buchanan, the bachelor president of the
United States. Hither came a former oc
cupant of the White Heuse, when tired
with the affairs of state, te seek quiet and
rest around m own hearth Here he
spent his sad eid age. And after, having
reached the highest office iti the gift of the
nation, and tasted all the sweets of politi
cal success, and mere than the keen au-
guibh usual te such a career, he died in.
this dwelling ; and here around his re
mains his old friend, Dr. J. W. Ncviu,
with tender sadness, spoke words of gos
pel comfort and kindly personal apprecia
tion at his bier.
The Guardian is no place te speak of
Mr. Buchanan's political career. I shall
simply give a few reminiscences concern
ing iiim as a citizen and neighbor. Fer
from my boyhood his home was at Wheat
laud, about a inilc from tr house, which
could be seen from our i -grounds. He
was a man of line presence, call, well-built
antl el a very graceful exte: :or. He was
always attired in a dress coat and a rather
bread, white necktic.giving him a dignified,
clerical appearance. Indeed his faultless
clothing indicated a man of cultivated
taste. Of course nature did much for
him, but education added its graces te na
ture's gifts. Among a crowd of thousands
of people his appearance would at once
have attracted the notice of a stranger as
that of a distinguished man, " a gentle
man of the old school." His head would
always incline te one Mde,a habit he is said
te have uuconscieusly contracted by rea
son el a delect m h.'.s eye-sight.
He was au admirable public speaker ;
with a clear, musical voice, a graceful
manner, a pleasing presence, and a very
agreeable and distinct articulation, it was a
pleasure even for his political opponents te
hear nim speak. Iti the city of Lancaster
he always had a large following, as this
was then prevailingly Democratic. But
no county in the state gave hitn less polit
ical sympathy than that of Lancaster.
Yet the announcement of Buchanan's
name among the speakers of a Democratic
convention always secured large assem
blages. Fer a man in his fetatien he was
easy of access by jieh and peer. Al
though his coachman was always ready
te de his bidding, until bowed under the
weight of years, he seemed te prefer going
a distance of a mile te the city afoot. He
was a warm friend te these who politically
befriended him, and usually found pleas
ure in deiug them lavets. 1 knew of in
stances where this was done at great pe
cuniary risk.
Wheatland is only a short distance from
Franklin and Marshall college, of whose
boaidef trustees he was for many years
the honored president. After his election
as president of the nation the faculty and
students of the institution paid him a visit
of congratulation. At thrce o'clock, p.
m., of a certain Friday in December, 1851J,
ever one hunched members of the college
repaired te Wheatland in precession. Mr.
Buchanan cordially received them in the
general reception room el his mansion.
Dr. E. V. Gerhatt, then president of the
college, formally introduced the students,
and briefly stated the object of their visit.
Mr. William A Duncan, new a prominent
lawyer of Gettysburg, Pa., delivered au
address of congratulation. Mr. Dun
can said, in behalf of his fellow-students,
that ' they came net as Democrats,
Hushed with success, te shout in loud
huzzas the triumph of party ; nor did they
come as the vanquished opposition te ex
press any dissent from the result of the
late campaign ; but they came happily as
membcis of college most of them as
Pennsylvanians all of them as children
of this almighty and glorious republic
witli warm young hearts, te -yctend te hi in
their heartfelt congratulation. They felt
honored iu knowing that their principal
officer had been selected as the pilot te
guide our noble ship of state through all
the vicissitudes that may compass her.
Their hearts had beat with honest pride
when from the lefty tower of their college
they could view the residence of the presi
dent of the beard of trustees and the most
distinguished statesman of Pennsylvania,
but what must new be their gratification
when from that eminence they cau net
only view the residence of the distinguish
ed statesman, but even of the president of
tha United States. In conclusion the
speaker wished the president a prolonged
life of usefulness a successful, peacclul,
houerabio and blessed administration
that our gicat nation might rejoice in his
wise and paternal direction of affairs
that he might live te retire from office
with the benediction of Ged and man te
his declining years, and that the shades
of time might fall lightly en the honored
head."
President Buchauan replied : " That he
felt greatly indebted te his young friends
for their visit. He had the assurance that
their congratulations were sincere, as they
sprang from the hearts of "youth, which
had net yet had time te become corrupted
or hardened iu the ways of the world. The
besom of youth was the abode of sincerity
and truth, and it was iudeed a pleasure
and an honor te receive the warm outpour
ings of their hearts. He said he had al
ways felt a great solicitude for the inter
ests of Franklin and Marshall college; it
was a noble institution, and he was proud
te be the president of its beard of direct
ors. He was extremely gratified te learn
that it had fair prospects, net only of a
large number of students, but of great
usefulness. It was gratifying te see be
large a number of worthy young men
already enrolled en its list of stu
dents. He referred te their responsi
bility, reminding them that when the
present generation had passed away, and
been gathered te their fathers, en them,
the young of te-day, would rest the re
sponsibility of forming and administering
the future government of the country ;
and of preserving intact our glorious
union and constitution. There was net,
he said, a young man among them, how
ever humble his position, who might net
aspire with an honorable ambition te fill
the highest office in the gift of the people ;
but in order te gain positions of honor,
usefulness and distinction, they must re
member that everything depends upon
themselves. They must carve out their
future from the opportunities of the
present. Kind pareuts and friends
have afforded them rare opportunities of
acquiring that knowledge which con
stitutes power. If they neglect or abuse
the opportunities if they idle away the
golden hours allotted for the improvement
of mind if they are net obedient te their
professors in all that relates te the geed
interests and success of the institution
then they might be assured they weuhl
have cause te repent of their felly through
long hours of bitter sorrow in after life
for they could never retrieve the past. He
said he had been a college boy himself,
and none of the best boys cither, being
fend of fun like themselves. There were
many uuie eccentricities in tue utc el a
college student that might be pardoned
or overlooked ; but there was one habit
which, if formed at college or in early
youth, would cling te them in after life
and blight their finest prospects. He re
ferred te the use of intoxicating
liquors, Mid declared that it would
be better for that youth who con
tracted an appetite for strong drink
that he were dead or had never been born;
for when he saw a young man entering
upon such a career, a fondness of liquor
becoming with him a governing passion,
he could see nothing before hi in but a life
of sorrow and a dishonored grave in his old
age. Many lads, he was aware, considered
this habit a mark of smartness, but he rc
gauled it as au offense that can net be
pardoned, especially in a student at col
lege ; and he concluded his earnest ap
peal by expressing the hope and belief
that none of the young men of Franklin
and Marshall college were addicted te this
dangerous practice. :'
He then alluded te the course and habits
of study necessary te insure success in a
student's life. " Mauy young men prided
themselves in running ever a great many
books and gaining a supci ficial knowledge
of mauy branches of science. This was of
no practical use. He would urge them te
learn thoroughly all they undertook te
learn te acquire knowledge distinctly
and then they would ba able te use it te
some practical advantige. in after life.
They should apply themselves with dili
gence te their allotted studies by day,
rellect by night upon what they had thus
acquired and appiepriated as the best
capital with which te engage in the strug
gle of life. He had met with many men
of premise who had looked at the indexes
of a great many books, and had a general
smattering of knowledge, but it was all
surface work, and of no practical use. He
hoped his young friends here present
would avoid falling iute tins error. "
At the close of his remarks the
president in parting cordially shook
hands with the students.' After
the proccssen had again formed en the
grounds iu front of the house, they gave
three reusing cheers for the president of
the beard of Franklin and Marshall cel-
lege and the president of the UnitedH
States. This was quite an event for the
boys, and a cause of just pride that the
president of the nation was at the same
time the presiding officer of their institu
tien.
Inhisvaticd position of honor and po
litical trust Mr. Buchanan never forget the
courtesies and duties of a geed neighbor
ami a private citizen. On election days
he would come te the polls of our little
Lancaster township and exchange greet
ings with his neighbors of both parties
and perferin his duty iu a way common te
the humblest citizen. He would greet and
sympathize with the plain country folk as
an equal. In net a few families he knew
the children and younger folk by name,
and would heic and there show marks
of kindly iutt-:V.-,t in the form of suit
able present. I remember, when a timid
youth, of standing aside of him at a
wedding. The daughter of an eid time
personal and political friend was married.
It happened en a cold winter day. shortly
before he was sent as minister te Great
Britain. He came in a two-heiso sleigh.
The embarrassment of the young people,
natural in such a presence,, was seen re
moved by the affable, easy, frank conduct
of Mr. Buchanan. He showed himself
perfectly at home en such subjects of con
vcrsatieu as would interest them. I stiil
remember hew beautifully the bride blush
ed si-, calling her by her first name the
venenible bachelor, with checks as blush
ir.g as hers, expressed his congratulations
with graceful ease.
My father was a staunch old-line Whig,
as were all his sons at that time. Se far
as I knew none of the voting members of
the family ever cast a vote ler our distin
gui hid neighbor. Yet this madchini per
sonally nene the less cordial. And when
my dear father was borne te his tjinb
the white-haired ex-president sat near his
coffin during the funeral services. It was
en a very uupleasant December day during
a great storm, when torrents of rain
swept ever the earth with fearful
violence ; en a day when one
would expect few. but young and
vigorous people te venture out
of deurs. Through this tempest came
the sage of Wheatland, his once straight
and tall form new somewhat bowed be
ncath the burden of age and recent crush
ing cares. Less than three months later
he was again present at the funeral of my
brother's wife. He had known and be
friended her from her youth. Fer several
minutes he steed with uncovered head
aside of the coffin,'breathing heavily with
trembling emotion as his eyes rested en
her pale face His presence en both oc
casions te me presented a touching scene.
After having enjoyed the highest political
honors within the reach of a citizen of the
republic he here meditates solemnly in
the presence of death en the emptiness and
evanescence of all earthly distinction
and glory.
At the close of his presiden ial term
he returned te Wheatland. The country
was then intensely excited. The dark
clouds of war were sweeping across the
country. The evils which he se much
dreaded, and in his own way
streva te I
avert, had at length come. Seme of his
acts were bitterly denounced. The ex- i
cited state el the country greatly aggra
vated this condemnation. Ne president
hid ever left the White Heuse upon whom
the press poured sueh a torrent of disap
proval Hew would his old neighbors
receive him after such a term of office?
He had become cordially attached te the
community in which he had his home for
well-nigh fifty years. There he laid the
foundation of his political success. As a
lawyer and statesman he gained his first
foothold as a citizen of Lancaster county.
His plain, peace-loving country neighbors,
with their antiquated forms of dress, and
their industrious, frugal habits, were a
peaceful folk whose tenents forbade their
bearing arms. But their sympathies
and prayers were for the ;Lrnien of the
United States. And the hearts of their
young sons burnt d with patriotic fire, and
by the score led them into the army. On
h:s lastietttiute Lancaster he was received
by a crowd of paeple in the square of the
city. I can net just new put my hand en
the precise words of his speech as reported
but substantially he speke as fellows :
He addressed them as his old neighbors,
among whom he had for many yearshad his
home. After having passed through a Ions
and varied experience iu the service of his
country, be came back te them, aged,
worn out and weary, seeking among them
quiet, rest, and a grave. With touching
tenderness he spoke of their uniform per
sonal kindness te himself, and said he ex
pected te spend his few remaining davs
among them as a private citizens.Many eyes
nuic luuisicucu us mesa nuiusui a retiring
president of the nation were spoken te the
assemblage. His remaining life was sad.
Frem whatever cause, the results of his ad
ministration must have keenly disap
pointed him. The office which was the
aspiration of bis active life brought him a
crown of thorns. IIe seemed te grew old
rapidly. His form was bowed, his face
pale, and he speedily declined into the in
evitable decrepitude and infirmity of old
age. On pleasant days one could see him
riding te town, sometimes musinelv sit
ting in front of Michael's hotel, greeting
his passing friends with his old-time cor
diality. Fer awhile these visits were net
without their annoyances. New and then
some of his embittered opponents would,
by some word or action, express their ill
feeling. Such treatment would always cut
him te the quick. During his last illness
nts liie-leng trtend, Dr. J. W. Kevin, min
istered te his spiritual wants. Few, if any
understood his inuner life and motives as
well as he. And at his request he officiated
at his funeral. Te the peer in Lancaster
he left a considerable bequest, the interest
of which is annually distributed for their
benefit and relief.
The earthly homes, families and graves
of our presidents have net always fared
well. Jehn Ouincv Adams, under date of
July 4.1831, wrote in his diary : ''Thisday
occurred the death of James Menree, after
six ycary of penury and distress." The
dilapidated and neglected condition of
Mouticelle, the home and the grave of
Themas Jeffersen, have become a by-word
of the nation. Thorns and briers grew
ever the graves of some of the ether
presidents. But for the indomitable
efforts of a small number of benevolent
ladies, assisted by the late Edward Ever
ett, even the home and tomb of Washing
ton would i:;est likely be iu ruins. Bu
chanan's remains aie marked by a suitable
monument en Woodward Hill cemetery.
His home while living, and the place of
his burial, arc both cared for by his niece.
neie no sleeps until the last trumpet shall
sound, and the secrets and motives of all
hearts shall be revealed and judged by the
great unerring Master, who in all His
judgments of His children blends justice
and mercy with Divine tenderness.

Among the strange things seen by Hum

They grew te the height of fifty feet,
