And I tell you it isn't every young man that will let the payment of a self-imposed debt stand between him and getting married to the girl he loves." Without anticipating too far events we have not yet reached, it may be said that Lucretia Garfield's education and culture made her not the wife only, but the sympathetic friend and intellectual helper of her husband.
Alas, that it should have been! that the monstrous murder of the good Lincoln should have been repeated in these latter days, and the nation have come a second time a mourner! Will it be believed that Garfield's arrival and his speech had been quite accidental, though we must also count it as Providential, since it stayed the wild excesses of an infuriated mob.
Garfield's father's house. During our school-days here I nursed the late President through an attack of the measles which nearly ended his life. He has often said, that, were it not for my attention, he could not have lived. So you see that the General and myself were very close to one another from the time either of us could lisp until he became President.
A New Employment At the Potash Works Desire for a Seafaring Life On a Farm again. One day Farmer Smith called at Mrs. Garfield's house, to ask James to help him in weeding the peppermint, adding at the same time, that he had engaged twenty boys for this especial purpose. Mrs. Garfield said that her son was at that time very busy, and she thought that the farmer would have enough boys without him.
Their points of view, their motives, their scholarships, their visions, their aspirations, make it what it is in every instance. You recall that ex-President Garfield's description of a university included only two factors as essential the teacher and the student. The external equipment buildings, libraries, laboratories what not is merely a tool in their hands. Please do not misunderstand me.
Garfield's own relations to it were hardly less interesting to me, and our intimacy was such that our thoughts at that time were common property. He spent a day with me, and we talked far into the night, going over the chief points of the campaign and his interview with Mr. Stanton. His friendship for Rosecrans amounted to warm affection and very strong personal liking.
To such a family did the future President originally belong; and with them he must have shared those strong qualities of perseverance and industry which more than anything else at length secured his ultimate success in life. For James Garfield's history differs greatly in one point from that of most other famous working men, whose stories have been told in this volume.
All but one were in favor of waiting, but Garfield adopted the judgment of this one. "Forward it is!" he said. "Give the order." I will only state the plan of Garfield's attack in a general way. There were three roads that led to Marshall's position one to the east, one to the west, and one between the two. These three roads were held by strong Confederate pickets.
"Now, Gumgum, you know that isn't sensible," broke in Mary severely a regrettable habit which seems increasingly prevalent among our modern daughters "unless you people were ninnies." "That was in Garfield's administration," replied Mrs. Norris absently, "or possibly a little before, in Hayes's Rutherford B. Hayes. He did away with the carpetbaggers and all those dreadful people in the South."
The committee made a report which was printed under date of March 1, 1870, and which may be found in a volume entitled "Garfield's Report on the Gold Panic Investigation."
