<h3>SELF-MADE.</h3>
<p>"Self-made or never made," says one of the apologists for Lincoln's
ruggedness of character and outward air; at an early political
meeting, when asked if he were self-made and he answered in the
affirmative, the rough critic remarked: "Then it is a poor job," as if
it were by nature's apprentice. But in 1860, when friends reproached
him for the lack of "Old Hickory" Jackson's sternness, he replied
nobly:</p>
<p>"I am just as God made me, and cannot change."
