" One cold winter day, Lincoln saw a poor fellow named "Ab Trent " hard at work chopping up " a house, " which Mr. Hill had employed him to convert into firewood. Ab was barefooted, and shivered pitifully while he worked. Lincoln watched him a few moments, and asked him what he was to get for the job. Ab answered, One dol/ar ; and, pointing to his naked and suffering feet, said that he wished to buy a pair of shoes. Lincoln seized the axe, and, ordering the LIFE OP ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 153 boy to c...omfort himself at the nearest fire, chopped up the house so fast that Ab and the owner were both amazed when they saw it done. " According to Mr. Rutledge, " Ab remembered this act with the liveliest gratitude. Once he, being a cast-iron Democrat, determined to vote against his o o party and for Mr. Lincoln ; but the friends, as he afterwards said with tears in his eyes, made him drunk, and he had voted against Abe. Thus he did not even have an opportunity to return the noble conduct of Mr. Lincoln by this small measure of thanks.
