By Famous Authors enemy; who, while in power, was beyond measure lampooned by sectional passion and an excited party spirit and around whose bier friend and foe gathered to praise him—which they have since never ceased to do—as one of the greatest of Americans and best of men. 8 Andrew Jackson possessed in the higest degree the Instinct of a superior will, the genius of command. If he had been on board a vessel in extreme danger he would have thundered out his orders without knowing anything of seamanship and been indignantly surprised if captain and crew had not obeyed him, In war he was, of course, made a general and without any knowledge of military acience he went out to meet the enemy, made raw militia fight Ike veterans and won the most brilliant victory in the War of 1812. Fierce energy was his nature. It hud a wonderful fascination for the popular fancy, which is fond of strong and bold acts. He became the idol of a large portion of the people to a degree never known before or since, Their belief was that with him defeat was impossible; that all the legions of dark- ness could not prevail against him, and that whatever arbitrary powers he might assume and whatever way he might use them it would be always for the good of the country—e belief which he sincerely shared. His ignorance of the science of statesmanship and the rough manner in which he crossed its rules seemed to end him all the more to the great mass of his followers. Innumerable anecdotes about his homely and robust sayings and doings were going from mouth to mouth, and with delight the common man felt that this potent ruler was “one of us.” He was a warm friend and a tremendous foe. Ry a faithful friend he would stand to the last extremity, But one who seriously differed from him on any matter that was near his heart was in great danger of becoming an object of his wrath, By Carl Schurz. ‘This is indeed the common lot cf popular sing wonder of the man who, not only of the he simplest and most unpretending of citi- who wielded the power of tive by temperament ‘h and rustic manner even in the ee @ It waa his eloquence that first made Henry Clay famous and that | HHKAALHSASASHSSS SH HSM ABABA SG HSM BS | ‘34 The Love Stories Of Great Americans By Albert Payson Terhune Coprridee, 1014, ty The Prem Pubtishing Co, (The Sev Fork fvenine Worl, No. 15—JEFFERSON DAVIS’S FIRST LOVE. YOUNG army Meutenant—-tall and straight and slender as an In- dian—wont in 1823 to visit his regimental commander ata frontier port. The Ieutenant was Jefferson Davis. His colonel was Zachary Taylor. The colonel had three daughters. With the scc- ond of the trio Lieut. Davis promptly fell in love. Davis was only twenty4ive and had not long been out ot West Point; | but he had already won fame in the army for courage and for military genius. Col. Taylor, grim old Indian fighter and future President of the United States, was fond of the youthful officer, and made Davis @ welcome guest at his home, It was with Sarah Knox Taylor that the IMeutenant fell in love—a love the girl instantly returned. Sarah was not beautiful, but she hada name- less harm that brought many suitors to her fect. Incidentally, she inher- ited much of her warrior father’s iron strength of character. She had a remarkable voice. Indeed, it was her singing of the old sons “Falgy Bells"—her favorite and Davis's—that first attracted the guest to her rather than to either of her two sisters. During that first visit Sarah and Lieut. Davis became engaged. Davis asked Taylor for his daughter's hand. The old colonel 1s said to have answered: “I've always sworn that no girl of mine shoul share n soldier's hardships. The better the soldier, the worse the hardships. And you are one of the best. It is ike asking me to kill her. But—there's no man I'd Oem A Father's Opposition. eee sooner trust her to. Take her.” Thus far the course of love was running smooth- neerously smooth, But the calm was brief, A few weeks later Davis voted against Taylor's wish—and according to his conseience—-at a court-mortial Tuylor burst into a rage, awore roundly at the man who had dared ta oppose him, broke the engagement between Sarah ond Davis, and forbode the latter to set foot in his houre again. In those days girls had a way of obeying their parents. So Sarah did not rebel at the unjust mandate. For two years she waited ( he ex- Pressed it) “for her father to prove anything against Lieut. Davis's honor or character.” At the end of that time she announced that she was going to marry Davis. Taylor would not be reconciled to the match. He would not even allow the wedding to occur in his house. So, with her father’s knowledge, Sarah went to the home of her aunt, near Louisville, Ky., and there, in the presence of nearly all her relatives, she ‘was married to Davis. (The report that they eloped is wholly untrue. This was tn the early summer of 1835. Davis, remembering what his jcelonel had said about the hardships that await a soldier's Wffe, left the jarmy, bought a plantation in Mississippi and took his bride there to live. For a few weeks they were ideally happy in their new home, Then Davis fell ill with malarial, fever—more likely it was what wo would now call typhoid. For a few days his young wife nursed him tenderly. Then s she no longer came to his bedside, He asked for her, He was tol? that she was well and hafpy, but was busy, and could not just then com®@ to see him. © Too I to understand the gross unlikelihood of such a story, the stricken husband fretted at her absence. Then, one da an acjoining room, he heard her beautiful voice raised in the “Fairy Bells" song they |oth loved. He could not understand why she should be singing so blithely when he was dangerously ill. And again he wondered why she never came to ree him. Feebly, the sick man got out of bed and crawled to the next room, help- ing himself along by clinging to the furniture, He opened the door and lurched into the room whence issued the gay song. Sarah lay on a bed near the door. She was dyin= of the same fever that had attacked her husband. Ti news of her illness had been kept from Davis lest worry make him worse. Delirious, she was now sing- Ing the old song of their courtship time, A day or wo later—on Sept. 15, 1885—she died. Slowly her heartbroken husband setru back to health. At last he was well again. But for a long time thereafter he shut himeelf away from mankind and turned his back on the great career that beckoned him, livins in the Misaissippt swamp. as a recluse and mourning the girl bride for whom he had waited #0 long and who had died almost on the very threshold of wedded life.
