congestion of the brain. His old servant
became alarmed, and had scarcely TING
to scream for help when size tainted. A
workman named Norman went by, he
leaped into the window, lifted up the two
dying people from the floor: restored the
woman to her senses, jumped on horse,
galloped to town aud brought back ply
sician My neighbor's life was saved.
The workman returned to his task |
said TO my neghbor: But for Norman
you would have been dead man. |
hope you intend to reward him literally?
y es, indeed, intend to give him forty
francs 1 met my neighbor a few days
afterward, and said to him. We'll have
you rewarded Norman No, not yet,
but he will lose nothing by waiting. l

lie on the same floor, vice and treason
walk abroad with unblushiug effrontery,
and virtue and patriotism are abandoned
to detraction among their enemies. God
has appointed a day when all these evils
will be corrected, and when justice will
be done to all classes.
Then traitors and criminals shall bn

no chance for her to get in. Late in the
afternoon of the third day the President
was going through the back passage to
his private rooms, to get a cup of tea Or
take some rest" (This passage way has
lately been constructed, and shuts theper-
son passing entirely out of view of the
occupants of the anteroom. " On his
way through he heard baby cry. He
instantly went back to his Office and rang
the bell. Daniel, said he, is there a
woman with baby in the anteroom :? |
said there was, and if he would allow me
to say it, l thought it was a case he ought
to see for it was a matter Of life and
death. Said he "send her to me at once"
She went in, told her story, and the Pres
ident pardoncd her husband As .he wo-
man came out from his presence, her eyes
were lifted and her lips moving in prayer,
the tears streaming down her checks
Said Daniel, Il went up to her and pull
ing her shawl said "AIadame, it was the
baby that did it,"
a TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Another touching incident occurred |
believe the same week. A woman in
ia led shawl and hood, somewhat advan-
ced in life, at length was admitted in her
turn. to the President Her husband
and three sons, all she had in the world,
enlisted. Her husband had been killed,
and she had come to ask the President to
release the oldest son. Being satisfied of
the truthfulnoss' of her story, he said
"Certainly, if her prop was taken away
she was Justly entitled to one of her
boys" He Immediately wrote an order
for the discharge of the young man. The
poor woman thanked him very gratefully,
and went away. >On reachieg the army
she found that this sen had been in q re-
cent engagement, was wounded, and ta-
ken to a hospital She found the hospi-
tai, but the boy was dead, or died while
She was there The surgeon in charge
made memorandum Of the facts upon
the back of th8 Presidents order, and,
almost broken h4srae9, the poor woman
found her way again into his presence
He was much affected by her appearance
and story, and said, 81 know what You
wish me to do now, and shall do it with
out your asking, / shall release to you
your second son" Upon this he took up
his pen and commenced writing the or
der. While he was writing; the poor wo-
man stood by his side, the tears running
down her face, and passed her hand soft
ly over his head, stroking his rough hair,
as | have seen a fond mother do to a son.
By the time he had finished writing his
own heart and eyes were full. lie hand
cd her the paper "Now said he 'you
have one and one Of the other two left
she took the paper, and reyerently placing
her hand again upon his head, the tears
still upon her cheeks, said, "The Lord

"REMINISCENCES OF MR. LINCOLN.
Mr.. cARrrnrER,s rEasoNAL IMPRESSIONS

Mr.. F. B. Carpenter, the artist who
naipted the picture of The Signing of
the Emancipation Proclamation, contrib
utes to this weeks Independent his 'Per-
sonal impressions of Mr.. Lincoln" en-
bodying some interesting "reminiscences
which we copy below:
... MR.. LINCoLN's SADNESS.
IT has been the business of my life, as
YOU know, to study the human face, and
I saw now. as I have said repeatedly to
friends, Mr.. Lincoln had the saddest face
lever painted. During someof the dark
davs of last Spring and Summer | saw
him at times when his care-worn, troub-
led appearance was enough to bring tears
of sympathy into the eyes of his most VI
client enemies. Isecall particularly one
day. when, having occasion to pass thro'
the main hallof the domestic apartments,
[ found him all alone, pacing up and down
a narrow passage his hands behind him,
his head bent forward upon his breast,
black rings under hiseyes, showing sleep
less altogether such picture OF
the effects of wcighty cares and re'ponsl-
bilities as | never had seen. And yet he
always had kind word and almost ge-
NAL smile, and it was his way frequently
to relieve himself at such times by some
harmless pleasantly | recolIect an IN
stance told me by one of the most radical
members of the last Congress. 1t was
during the darkest days Of 1862. lie
called upon the President early one morn
inc. lust after news IF disaster 1t was
a time of great anxiety if not desponden-
CIV. Mr.. Lincoln commenced telling some
triaing incident-whch the Congressman
was in no mood to hear. lie rose to his
feet and said, "Mr. President, | did not
come here this morning to hear stories
it is too serious time" Instantly the
smile disappeared from Mr. Lincoln's face
who exclaimed, ca, sit down. | re-
spect you as an earnest, sincere man.
Yea cannot be more anxious than | am
constantly, and | say to you now, that
wereit not for this occasional vent I should
die :"

A PARDON.

A touching instance of his kindness of
heart occurred quite recently, and was told
me incidentally by one of the servants
A poor woman from Philadelpllia had
been waiting, with baby in her arms, for
three days to see the President. Her
husband had furnished substitute for
the army, but some time afterwards was
ope day made intoxicated by some COM
panions, and in this state induced to en-
list Soon after he reached the army he
deserted, thinking that, as he had provi-
ded a substitute, the Government was not
entitled to his services. Returning home
he was, of course arrested, tried, convict
ed, and sentenced to be shot. The SEN
tence was to be executed on Saturday.
On Monday bis wife left her home with
her baby, to endeavor to see the Presi-
dent. Said old Daniel, "She had been
rafting here three days, and there was

And when the foe is and rebellion is crushed
And the sound of the musket and cannon is hushed
Then we hope to have peace on basis that's true,
When traitors and towards are no more to pursue.
An honorable peace that for ages to come,

HIS SYMPATHY.

A large number of those whom he saw
every day came with appeals to his feel
sngs in reference to relatives and friends
in confinement and under sentence Of
death. 1t was a constant marvel to me
that, with all his other cares and duties,
he could give so much time and be so pa
tient with this multitude. | have known
him to sit for hours patiently listening to
details IF domestic troubles from poor peo
ple-much of which, Of course, irrele-
want carefully siftcd the facts and man
ifestine as much anxiety to do exactly
right as IN matters of the Sravest inter-
est. I oorly clad people we're more likely
to get good hearing than those who
came in silks and velvets. No one was
ever turned away from his door, because
of poverty. If he erred, it was sure to
be on the side of mercy. 1t was one of
his most painful tasks to confirm sen,
tence of death. i recollect the case of a
somewhat noted rebel prisoner, who had
been condemned to death believe as a
spy a strong application had been made
to have his sentence commsted. While
this was pending he attempted to escape
from confinement, and was shot by the
sentinel on guard Although he richly
deserved death, Mr. Lincoln told Judge
Holt in my presence that lit was a great
relief to him that the man took his fate
into his own hands"
If the slightest occasion existed for
showing clemcncy he was sure to improve
it.
Judge Bates, in the same conversation
referred to above, said that he often told
the President that "he was hardly fit to
be entrusted with the pardoning power"
"Why," said the judge, che can scarcely
turn away from the application (f it
touches his feelings of man, and the
tears of woman are sure to overcome
him !"

In conclusion, ladFss and gentlemen,
let this solemn occasion remind US Of the
shortness of life, the certainty of death
and the uncertainty of all human concerns.
Let US bear in mind that the world we

to meet with their full reward, Or for vice
and treason to receive their full punish
