Scene at the Death Bed of Mr.,
Lincoln.

AT Carlisle, Pa, recently, the Presbyte
rian Synods of the old and new schools
being in session at the same place, the two
bodies met in communion with great har
mony. Rev. DIR. Gurley, pastor of the
church in Washington which President
Lincoln always attended, in a speech at the
table, gave the following narrative, which
has never before been made public:
When summoned on that sad night to
the death-bed of President Lincoln, / en-.
tered the room fifteen or twenty minutes
before his departure. All presen: were
gathered aDxiously around him, waiting to
catch his last breath. The physician, with
one hand upon the pulse of the dying man,
and the other hand upon his heart, was
intently watching for the moment when life
should cease.
He fingered longer than we had expect.
ed. At last the physician said: He is
gone he is dead
Then / solemnly believe that for four
or five minutes there was not the slightest
noise or movement in that awful presence.
We all stood transfxed in our positions,
speechless, breathless, around the dead
body of that great and good man.
At length the Secretary of War, who
was standing at my left, broke the silence
and said, Doctor, will you say anything
I replied, i will speak 10 God Said he,
Do it just now
And there, by the side of our fallen
chief, God put it into my heart to utter
this petition, that from that hour we and
the whole nation might become more than
ever united in our devotion to the cause of
our beloved, imperiled country.
When ceased, there arose from the lips
of the entire company fervid and spon-
taneous Amen
And has not the whole heart of the 10y
al nation responded Amen?'
Was not that prayer, there offered, re.
sponded to in a most remarkable manner /?
When in our history have the people of
this land been found more closely bound
together in purpose and heart than when
the telegraph wires bore all over the coun-
try the sad tidings that President Lincoln
was dead p"
