She .Was in the stern of a birch canoe, all dressed in white with roses in her hair. I raised my, hat ,and she -threw -a kiss at me. Old Kate sat in the -bow waving her handkerchief. They stop- pp,eed and Sally asked in a tone of play, ful seriousness: "Young man, why have you come, here?" 'To' get you," I anaviered. "What do you want of me?" She was looking\ at her face in the water, "I want to marry you," I answered bravely,' °iThen you may help me ashore if you please. I am in my best, white slippers and you are to be very care- ful." • "Beautiful! She was the spirit of the fields of June then and always. I helped her ashore and held her in my arms and, you know, the lips have a way of speaking then in the old, convincing final argument of love. They left no doubt in our hegrts, my son. • "When do you wish to marry me?" she tvhispered. "As soon as possible, but my pay is only sixty dollars a month now." "We shall make it do," she an- swered. "My mother and father and your aunt and uncle and the Hack - eta and the minister and a number of our friends are coming in a fleet of boats." "We are prepared either for a pic- nic or a wedding," was the whisper of Hate. "Let's make it both," I proposed to Sally. "Surely there couldn't be a better place than here under the big pine - it's so smooth and soft a shady," said she.• "Nor could there be a better day or better company," I urged, for. I was not sure that she would agree." The boats came along.' Sally and ! I waved a welcome from the bank and site merrily proclaimed: "It's to be a wedding." . Then a cheer from the boats, in I which I joined. I shall never forget how, when the 1 company had landed and the greet- • ings were over, Uncle Peabody ap- proached your mother and said: "Say, Sally, Pin goin' to plant a I kiss on both Fit them red cheeks o', yours, an' do it deliberate, too."

The experience ought to be useful to a young man who, I e hope, will have work to do in future conventions." • I took the :stage to Baltimore next day -the twenty-sixth of May. The convention thrilled me -the flags, the great crowd, the bands, the songs, the Speeches, the cheering -I see and hear it all in my talk. The uproar lasted for twenty minutes when Van Buren's name was put. in nomination. • Then the undercurrent! The slave interest of the South was against.him as Wright had foreseen. The deep current of its power had undermined certain of the northern and western delegations. Ostensibly for Van Bu- ren and stubbornly casting their bal- lots for him, they had'voted for the two-thirds rule, which hhd accom- plished his defeat before the ballot, Ing began. It continued for two days without a ehoice. The enemy stood firm. After adjournment that even- ing many of the Van Buren delegates were summoned to a conference. I attended it with Judge Fine. The Ex -President had withdrawn and requested his friends in the con- vention to vote for Silas Wright. My emotions can be more, readily imag• ined than described when I heard the shouts of enthusiasm which greeted my friend's name. Tears began to roll down my cheeks. Judge Fine lifted his hand. When order was at last restored he began: "Gentlemen, as a friend of the learned Senator and as a resident of the ,county which is the proud pos- sesder of his home, your enthusiasm has ,a welcome sound to me; but' I happen to know that Senator Wright 'will not allow his name to go before the convention." He read the letter of which I knew. Mr. Benjamin F. Butler then said: "When that letter was written Sen- ator Wright was not aware that Mr. Van Buren's nomination could not be accomplished, nor was he aware that ' his own nomination would be the al- most unanimous wish of this conven- 'tlop. I have talked with the leading delegates from Missouri and Virginia to -day. They say that he can be nominated by acclamation. Is it pos- sible that he -a strong, party man - can resist this unanimous call of the party with whose help he has won immortal fame? No, it is not so. It can not be so. We must dispatch a messenger to him by horse at once who shall take'to`him from his friend Judge Fine a frank htatement of the imper;pus deniand of this convention and a request that he telegraph a withdrawal of his letter in the morn- ing." The auggdstion was unanimously approved and within an hour, mount- ed on one of the best horses in Mary- land -so his groom informed me -I was on my way to Washington with the message of Judge Fine in my pocket. Yes, I had two days to spare on my schedule of travel and reckon- ed that, by returning to . Baltimore next day I should reach Canton in good time. It was the kind of thing that only a lithe, supple, strong -hearted lad such as I vbas in the' days of my youth, could relish -speeding over a dark road by the light of the stars and a half-moon, with a horse that loved to kick up a wind. My brain was in a fever, for the notion had come to me that I was making his- tory. The lure of fame and high place hurried me on. With the Senator in the presidential chair I should be well started in the highway of great suc- cess. Then Mr. H. Duhkelberg might think me better than the legacy of Benjamin Grimshaw. A relay a- waited me twenty-three miles .down the road. Well, I reached Washington very sore, but otherwise in good form, soon aftor'daybreak. I was trembling with excitement when I put my horse in the stable and rang the bell at our door. It seemed to me that I was crossing the divide between big and little things. A,few steps more and I should be looking down into the great valley. of the future, Yet, now that I was there, I began to lose confidence. The butler opened the door. Yes, the Senator was up and had just returned 'from a walk and was in his study. 1 fpnnd him there.

He rose andstood looking out of the .open' wlndote Always I think of him standingg' there with the. morning sunlight falling upon his face' and shoulders. 'He hal observed my emotion and I think It had touched hint a little. There Was a moment\of silence. A curious ilinsion came to me then, for it seemed as if I heard the sound of distant mete. Looking thoughtfully out of the window he asked: "Bart, do you know .when our first fathers turned out .:of'the trail of•the beast and found the 'long road of humanity? I think it was when they discovered the compass in their hearts." So now at last wehave come to that high and lonely place, where we inay. look back upon the toilsome, ad- venturous way we have travelled with the aid of the candle and the compass. Now let us stop a moment to rest and to think. How sweet the air is here ! Tlie night is falling. I see the -stars in the sky. _Just below me is the valley of Eternal Silence. You will understand my haste now. I have sought only to do justice to my friend and to give my country a name long neglected, but equal in glory to tbos'e of Washington and Lincoln.

See the lights in the win- dows -the lights that are, shining in- to the souls of the young --the eager, open, expectant, welcoming souls of the young! -and the light carried 'many, things, but best of all a respect for the olds unchanging way of the compass. After all that is the end and aim° of the whole matter -believe mc. My life has lengthened into these days when most• of our tasks are accomplished by machinery. - We try to make men by the thousand, in vast educational machines, and no longer by the one as of old. It was the 1ov- ing, forgiving, forbearing, patient, ceaseless toil of mother. and father on the tender soul of childhood, which quickened that inextinguishable sense of responsibility to God and man in these people whom I now leave to the judgment of my countrymen. I have lived to see the ancient plan of kingcraft, for self-protection, com- ing back into the world,. ,It demands that the will and conscience of every individual shall be regulated and controlled by some conceited prince, hacked by an army. It cannot fail, I foresee, to accomplish such devas- tation in the human spirit :as shall imperil the dearest possession of man. If one is to follow the compass he can have but one king -his God. • I am near the end. r rode back to Baltimore that forenoon. They had nominated Mr. Polk, of Tennessee. for. president and Silas Wright for vice- president, the latter by acclamation. I knew that Wright would decline the honor, as he did, I hurried northward to keep my appointment with Sally. The boats were slowed by fog. At Albany I was a day behind my schedule. I 'Should have only an hour's leeway if the boats on the upper lakes and the stage from Plattsburg were on time. I feared to trust then. So I caught the west -bound train and reached Utica three hours late. There I bought a good horse and his saddlo and bridle and hurried up the north road. When he was near spent I traded h sn for a well -knit Morgan mare up in the little village of Sandy Creek. 05, I knew a good horse as well as the next men and a better one than she 1 never owned -never. I was back in my saddle afi.six in the afternoon and stopped fat -teed and an hour's rest at nine and tode on through. the ;night. I reached the hamlet pf Riolivine soon after day- break and put out for a' rest of two hours. I could take it cosy then.
