MARY S. OWENS

Weston

Mr. W. H. Herndon: Dear Km—I do not think you are pertina clous ib asking the question relative to old Mrs. Bowlin Greene, liecause I wish to sot you ri*:ht on that question. Your information no doubt came through my cousin, Mr. Gaines Greene, who visited us last winter. Whilst here he was laughing at me about Mr. Lincoln and among other things spoke about the circumstance in connection with Mrs. Greene and child. My impression is now that 1 tacitly admitted it, for it was a season of trouble with me, and I gave but little heed to the matter. We never had any hard feelings towards each other that 1 know of. On no occasion did I say to Mr. Lincoln that 1 did not believe ho would make a kind husband because he did not ten j dor his services to Mrs. Greene in helping of | her carry her babe. As I said to you in a for- | mer letter, 1 thought him lacking in smaller attentions. One circumstance presents itself just now to my mind's » ye. There was a company of us going to Uncle Billy Greene’s. Mr. Lincoln was riding with me, ami we had a very bad branch to cross. The other gentlemen were very officious in seeing that their partners got safely over. We were behind, he riding in, never looking back to see how 1 got along. When 1 rode up beside him, I remarked: “You are a nice fellow! I suppose you did not care whether my neck was broken or not." He laughingly replied—I suppose by way of compliment—that he knew I was plenty smart to take care of myself. In many things he was sensitive almost to a fault. Ho told me of an incident—that he was crossing a prairie one flay and saw before him “a hog mired down,” to use his own language. He was rather “fixed up,” and he resolved that ho would pass on without l(x>king at the shoat. After he had gone by he said tho feeling was irresistible, and ho had to look back, and the poor thing seemed to say wistfully, “There now, my last hope is gone;” that he deliberately got down and relieved it from its difficulty. In many things we were congenial spirits. In politics we saw eye to eye, though since

thor beinR one of the wealthiest and then we differed ns widely as the soutn U from

influential ,nen of bisti.no .nl In- 1

cality. A portion of her schoolinjff was The Inst mtvwuKe I ever received from him obtained in a Catholic convent, though was about n nr after we parted in Illinois, in religious faith she was a Baptist. Mr*. Able visited Kentucky, and he said to her

According to a description furnished me by herself, she “had fair skin, deep blue eyes and dark curling hair; height

6 feet 5 inches; weight, 150 pounds. She was good looking in girlhood, by many esteemed handsome, but became

fleshier as she grew o#t r.

One of Miss Owens’ descendants is authority for the statement that Lincoln had boasted that "if Mary Owens ever returned to Illinois a second timo he would marry her;” that a report of this came to her ears, whereupon sho left her Kentucky homo with a predetermination to show him that sho was not to be caught simply by tho asking. On this second visit Lincoln paid her more marked attention than before, and his affections became more and more enlisted in her behalf. His honesty of purpose showed itself in all his efforts to win her hand. He told her of his poverty, and while advising her that life with him meant to her, who had been reared in comfort and plenty, great privation and sacrifice, yet ho wished to securo her sis a wife. Sho, however, felt that she did not entertain for him tho same feeling that he professed for her, \ and that she ought to entertain before accepting him, and so declined his offer. Judging from his letters alone, it has been supposed by some that she, remembering the rumor she bad heard of his determination to marry her, and not being fully certain of tho sincerity of his purposes, may have purposely left him in the earlier stages of his courtship somewhat in uncertainty. Later on, however, when by his manner and repeated announcement to her that his hand and heart were at her disposal, he demonstrated the honesty and sincerity of his intentions, she deolinod his offer kindly, but with no uncertain meaning.

Mart 8. Vineyard.

Wo have thus been favored with the lady's side of this case, and it is but fair that we should hear the testimony of her honest but ungainly suitor. Fortunately for us aud for history we have his view of tho case in a series of letters which have been preserved with zealous care by tho lady’s family. Tho first letter was written from Vandalia, Dec. 13, 1836, where the legislature to which ho belonged was in session. After reciting tho progress of legislation and the flattering prospect that then existed for the removal of the seat of government to Springfield, ho gets down to personal matters by apprising her of his Illness for a few days, coupled with tho announcement that he is mortified by daily trips to tho postoffice in quest of her letter, which it seemed never would arrive. “You see, ” he complains, “I am mad about that old letter yet. I don’t like to risk you again. I’ll try you once more anyhow. ” Farther along in the course of the missive he says: "You recollect I mentioued at theoutset of this letter that I had been unwell. That is tho fact, though I believe I am abont well now, but that, with other things I cannot account for, have conspired, and have gotten my spirits so low that I feel that I would rather he in any place in the world than here. 1 really cannot endure tho thought of staying hero ten weeks. Write back as soon as yon get this, aud, if possible, say something that will please me, for really I have not been pleased since I

left you. ’ ’

After the adjournment of the legislature he returned to Springfield, from

(Copyright, 18U5, by American Press Asaocia tlon. B,H»k rights reserved.) a FTKR a stormy December night the wary boatmen M \ of Ramsgate bar X ff \ bor are gathered / I \ in tho lookout houses at the head of the pier, agreeing that it is likely weather" for disaster* and a -’9^=;. long strong iiuil to save some luckless mariners. Spyglasses look sea- | ward, the men behind them both fearing ami hoping to catch a glimpse tbruugli the clouds of fog of some | telltale object far out In the terrible breakers of the terrible sands. Suddenly a watcher cries, “I see a ship on Goodwin!" “Where? Where?” shout half a dozen ,it [ once, and raising their glasses they can see nothing. It was only a glimpse the man had and the others try to convince him that ho Is mistaken. '’Iain as sure of It as I stand here,” ho says positively. "What was she like?" ‘‘8ho seemed a large ship with only two masts standing and high upon the sands.” ''Well, if you saw her once, and are certain of it, once is as good as 50times.” Ho speaks the coxswain of the surf crow and calls out along tho piers: "A vessel on the Goodwin! Lifeboat, lifeboat!” As tho men threw down their work on the pier tho harbor master rushes after them and says that there have been no signals nor alarm guns, and tho outlook must he mistaken. But tho lifeboat has been launched, tho tug has passed her a cable, and before the master can Interfere the zealous boatmen are off. Reaching the line of tho lightships outsido the harbor, they find a high wind blowing oilshore, with heavy squalls of snow; also that the men on the lightships all along the dungerous Sands have been firing guns since daylight and sending up signals for a wreck on tho southeast spit of the Sands. The tug and lifeboat push on through tho terrible seas running over the Sands and soon discover tho wreck settled upon them, her mizzenmast gone and the surf breaking over her from stem to stern as high as her foroyard. There are no sailors to be seen lashed to tho rigging and so groat Is the rush of water over the cabins and docks that the lifeboat men think it doubtful if any of tho crow remain on lioard. Nevertheless they resolve to make a search. The tug tows the lifeboat off to a distance so that she can run in on tho lee quarter of tho wreck, and with everything ready, the anchor poised to let go tho moment the craft gets near the sunken ship, tho brave fellows plunge through the sea, driven by a foresail and tho powerful current. What awful chances they are taking on the bare possibility of saving lifol Tho boat sails with a speed that means destruction If she strikes tho solid wreck: Watching their distance, tho boatmvi heave tho anchor and lower sail, but onward their frail bark files. Suddenly tho man in the how cries: “Up with your helm! Up with it hardl Sheer off! Sheer off!" Swiftly, but only just in time, the boat answers and hoars away from tho wreck. It is a close call, for the broken mizzenmast is projecting at right angles with tho sunken hull and, covered with water, lies in the pathway of tho lifeboat. Fortunatu it is that It is daylight, fur in tho night tho outlook could not see it, and tho bunt would surely be lost. As it is sho gets into a had tanglo in tho wreckage, nut finally swings clear of it by tho aid of tho current and fetches up astern of tho ship. On looking up, the life savers can see three men and a boy crouching under tho shelter of tho dockhouso, exhausted with wet and cold so ns to bo completely helpless. For hours they have waited, listening to the sullen boom of the alarm guns from tho light, vessels, but have given up all hope that those sounds mean salvation for them, when suddenly tho lifeboat, with | its cheery, wide awake crew, glides up alI most within reach. It is their reprieve from a horrible fate, and the blood once i more courses warm through their veins. A lino with a life buoy attached Is tossed i from the wreck to the boat, and the life savers haul their craft by tho taut lino toj ward tho vessel. But the tide must still be reckoned with, and even a strong pull and long puli aud a pull altogether barely moves the boat a foot. Then without an instant’s warning a tremendous sen rushes

You would have to be poor without the means of hiding your poverty. Do you Ixlk’Ve you coul.l bear that patb ntly?

But while there la life there la hope for the aallor; the coxswain, Jarman, stands ready with a life liuoy, and when the sheer of the boat and the sweep of tho sen hrinK the Ijont and the drowning man for a moment near each other he makes a skillful throw and lands tho buoy within the captain's reach. Seizing It. tl.e captain soon Rots head and arms through, and beckoning the boatmen to follow Is swept away again beyond their reach. With little hope that they would find him alive should they roach him after a long chase they wish him a silent goodby and turn again to tlw> sufferers on the wreck. At the moment a terrible crash close at hand startles them and, looking up, they see the tall mainmast of tho ship come down with a power that seems to wrench the hull loose from tho sand. An appalling cry reaches tlnj^; ears, and they see another of the desperate men leap into tho sea with a rope fastened around his waist. It is tho chief mate—a young man and a powerful swimmer. But he is only a sport of the waves and Is tossed violently up and down and carried to the end of his rope only to bo brought up at last with a jerk that nearly strangles him. Tho boatmen try in vain to sheer their craft W'ithin his reach, and with fearful struggles ho drowns before the eyes of tho would bo rescuers and his distressed coin rado*. Before the tragedy ends, tho scene Is heartrending in tho extreme. The boatmen dare not jump Into tho sen to help him, for that would only makodouhle work for those remaining on board. Tho strongest man is helpless in a current driven by such a gale. They try to heave a rope with a lead lino over tho one which fastens tho mate to tho ship; but, watch ns they may, just at tho time for a successful cast a wave rushes upon tho boat, and every man must let go all else and cling to tho thwarts for safety. Finally tho poor fellow, despairing of reaching the boat, trios to climb hack to the ship up tho rope which still holds him. But that, too, is Impossible. His strength is gone, and after two or three failures, during which his cries are most pitiful, he falls hack holples! - —dead.

Farout from the wreck sho lift* again, hold by the stout anchor cable, and the men spring to their feet. “Are all there?" shouts the coxswain. ‘’All right, all right!" cry tho men in a chorus. ‘‘Thank God!

Hut it Is useless to attempt to haul her min er to the wreck, and the captain, to make an example for tho two mates and the cabin hoy vlio are his comrades in peril, boldly oprings opt from tho lee of tho deckhouse, strips off his oilskin coat and slides down the hawser that held the boat Into the boiling sea.

WAVINO AN A KM FOK A SIGNAL, heating about near the wreck with their boat the llfeboutmen have seized the rope fastenod to tho ship, which was torn from its fastenings, and once more tho craft is holding on to the vessel. Tho wrecked hull Is rapidly breaking up, and the gunwale is only a few feet out of water. A big wave strikes with a force that seems likely to moke an end of her, and tho mate, in desperation, leaps toward the rope leading to tho lifeboat. Fortunately ho lands across it, catches a firm hold and works his way to tho high prow, which Is leaping and failing and tearing violently upon tho hawser under tho force of the waves. The boatman in tho bow cries out to his | fellows: “Hold me! Hold me!" and throws hims.lf across tho foredeck. With his body half stretched over tho side of tho boat he grasps the collar of tho struggling sailor, who twines an arm around the neck of the life saver, and, sinking hack, buries his head under water. Two lives are now in tho extremity of peril. Tho boatmen dare not move to the aid of their comrade for fear of overweighting the craft at that point and capsizing her, hut lying in the bottom they form a line holding on to ono another's legs and tho first to those of tho man struggling in the water. Bo in a life and death clutch the bunt and all hands are tossed up and down hy tho pitiless sen for a few moments that seem like hours. Once while tho men are all intent on saving tho two in the water tho largo boat of tho ship comes driving down upon their little craft, threatening to stave It to pieces, but luckily a cross wave lifts Itnnd sweeps it one side. Finally tho boatmen drag their oomrndu and Ids burden along to tho waist of tho boat, where the gunwale is low, and tho two are hauled on board. Meanwhile the wreck has been cleared of everything hut the gunwale, and to that tho cabin hoy clings, caiilng out in agony. “Save me! Oh, do save me!” Great waves dash over him, hut ho madly keeps b's h. Jit .- ♦ruuKio as they will the boatmen cannot drive their craft against the tide and through tho floating wreckage up to the ship. At last tho hoy is torn loose, and apparently lifeless floats on tho driving waves out and hack, out and hac k, from the buried hull, past the lifeboat. By a skillful east of tm* boathook with a lino one of the men catches him hy the jacket Hap and slowly tows him in. lie is placed in die stern sheets apparently dead. “Now, my men,” shouts Coxswain .Jarman. “Station* all, and look sharp, or we shall he driven upon the wreck and all lost.” Once clear of the wreck the men turn to tlie poor hoy, and to their surprise find him still alive. Now if they can pick up tho captain, who two hours before drifted away, tho day’s work will he proudly closed. Sailing before the wind into the heaviest seas, all hands keep sharp watch, and two miles from tho wreck dtscovql the lost one, still alloat ami waving an arm for a signal.
