When Abraham Lincoln was forty-three yearsold, that is to say in 1852, he was invited by thecitizens of Springfield, 111., to deliver a eulogyon Henry Clay, who had just died. Amongother things, Lincoln said of the man whomhe had idolized through life: His exampleteaches us that one can scarcely be so poorbut that, if he will, he can acquire sufficienteducation to get through the world this regard Clay and Lincoln were not muchunlike. Both were born into a lot of poverty ;both rose to high distinction in the State. Itmay be said, however, that the poverty of Lin-colns boyhood was more abject and his lotharder than Clays. Henry Clay was early known as the Mill Boyof the Slashes. In later years, when he was acandidate for the Presidency, this title was theslogan of a hot political canvass and was thoughtto be worth to Clay a great many votes. Hismother was a widow living in a low and swampydistrict of Virginia known as the Slashes.
