The Seventh President, and the Hero of the whole war period, and the connecting link between the old and new phases of our political life. BORN MARCH 15, 1767. DIED JUNE 8, 1845. A rude pioneer from the wilderness see, N o pretensions of birth born a hero is he. D escended from parents of good Irish stock, R iches they had none, scant the store they brought. E re his advent on earth his father has died, W ith a mother alone, for his wants to provide. J aded by toiling, by scant poverty worn, A ...life of hard labor, she toils on a farm : C aring more for her son than all else beside, K ept him ever before her, her joy and her pride ; ANDREW JACKSON. 31 S ent him to school, such an one as was there, O nly hoping some day better things he might share. N ow this good mother hoped that a preacher might she W ithout any doubt have young hopeful to be ; A thing very like, had not war intervened, 'X eluding forever what so probable seemed. H e heard how Prevost was destroying the land, A nd how South Carolina by invasion was dam'd, W hen Charleston had fallen, when Waxhaw had bled, S treaming with blood, the whole country ran red ; E ven up to the home of young Jackson they came, T urning to death man and woman the same, T ill they came to the place of our young hero's home, L etting no one escape, these invaders did roam.
