Abraham Lincoln and Róbert Burns, honest and plain men of the people, stand today as the best-loved American and the bestloved Scotsman. The Lincoln log cabin in Kentucky and the Burns cottage in Ayrshire are shrines visited each year by countless admirers of these great figures. Born to poverty and obscurity, rismg to heights of fame and popularity through long years of hard work, their lives present an interesting parallel. It is appropriate that Abe Lincoln should have found a kindred spirit in Bobby Burns, who spoke to his heart of the innermost yearnings, disappointments, and sorrows which both had experienced through similar backgrounds. The Railsplitter was born in a log cabin, the Plowman in a clay hut. One was schooled in the forests and prairies of a new country, the other in the highlands and valleys of an old country -both environments teaching that men are brothers to all other creatures. Lincoln and Burns were alike in their tenderness and sympathy. The Plowman of Scotland was sorry to uproot the mountain daisy and scatter the fieldmouse's nest, sorry to scare the waterfowl from the loch, and heart-sick when he saw the wounded hare. Waking at night during a whirling snowstorm, he would think of the "ourie cattle and silly sheep" and "wee, helpless birds." The Railsplitter of Illinois left no poems to record his sympathies along these lines, but we know that he scorned a chance to rob a nest or bring a bird down with his gun. A look of tender understanding came over his face at the sight of sufferinowoods creatures or men, particularly slaves and soldiers. The boy Lincoln had argued, "An ant's life is as sweet to it as ours to us," and made incensed speeches against cruelty to animals. As a man he would stop to hunt a nest from which two young birds had fallen, because he "could not sleep otherwise," or puli a pig out of the mud "to take the pain out of my own mind.'' Burns once wrote, "I believe that if I could, I would wipe away all tears from all eyes." Lincoln said, "I want to plánt a rose where I see a thistle growing." This desire to improve the condition of their fellow men was a life-long trait of both these great humanitarians, who had a mutual love of nature and the simple humble folk
