He became inured to all the duties of seed-time and harvest. On many a day, during every one of those thirteen years, this Kentucky boy might have been seen, with a long ' gad' in his hand, driving his father's team in the field, or from the woods with a heavy draught, or on the rough path to the mill, the store, or the river landing ; very probably at times, in the language of the Hoosier bard, descriptive of such pioneer workers in general : " ' sans shoes or socks on, With snake-pole and a y...oke of oxen.' "A vigorous constitution, and a cheerful, unrepining disposition, made all his labors comparatively light.
To such a one, this sort of life has in it much of pleasant excitement to compensate for its hardships.
He learned to derive enjoyment from the severest lot.
The ' dignity of labor,' which is with demagogues such hollow cant, became to him a true and appreciable reality." Thus, by hardy out-door labor and exercise he laid the foundation of that iron constitution which proved such a blessing throughout his whole life, en- abling him to endure fatigue and care to which an ordinary frame would have succumbed.
