A simple incident which happened about this period decided his life-pursuit. He discovered a copy of the “Constitution of the United States,” as drawn up by some of her ablest statesmen. It was printed upon a cotton handkerchief which he purchased in a country store with what was then his all, and which amounted to twenty-five cents. He was about eight years of age when that took place, and learned then, for the first time, either that there were United States, or that they had a Constitution. |
