That Abraham Lincoln is a man of the people, and whose every act and s-ntiment of life has identified him di redly with the masses, a glance at his history, private and public, will show. Abraham Lincoln was boln on thd 12th.of February, 1899, In what was tbe a Hardin county, In the State of Kentucky His grandfather and his father were both born: in Rockingham County, 'Virginia. Hizt,more remote ancestors came from Barks county, in PennsylvaniA r and are said to have been of the Quaker persuasion.

Lincoln was sent to , primmysolapola in Kentucky, in, his early years, where bem. guired the fitit rudiments of an edunation r -- When be was in his eighth year; his fatinif moved to Spencer county, Indians. This por tion of the country was then,an,alutost 'un broken wilderness, and Abraham•lobored„. with his father in. clearing forests fields until his twenty-first year. In the year, 1818 Abraham's meth( r died, and a sear afterwards his fattier again married lady of Kentucky.— During this period Abraham attended schooli bat'not regnloily, and all his schooling did not o .more then a year in, the aggregate. able amount of knowledge, howev r, by that - tvey,, L. a . young.

At the age of nineteen he made a trip On a flit-boat to New Orleans, accompanied by, the eon of his employer; In this trip they were.at, tacked one night by Raven nagroes, who At toputted to kill and rob them. After a desper ate battle, the negroes were driven off, and the youthful pair proceeded on their voyage. In the Spring of 1.880, the. Lincoln family re moved from Indiana to Illinois. in two wagons drawn by oxen :They settled at a place on the Sangamon river, ten miles west of Decatur. Here they built log pabin, while Abraham and hie father went to work anti split rails to fence their new farm. From that circumstance Mr. Lincoln derives his popular soubliput.— Dnring-tho succeeding Winter young Lincoln, bireifout to go to New Orleans on a flit-boat, and made. the journey to Springfield; Where he was to start, in a canoe with-Iwo companions.
