Scene at the Death-Bed ofMr. Lincoln

AT Carlisle, Pa, recently, the Presby-
terian Synods Of the old and new schools
being in session at the same place, the
two bodies met in communion in great
harmony. Rev. Dr. Gurley, pastor of the
church in Washington which. president
Lincoln usually attended, in a speech at
the table, gave the following narrative,
which has never before been made pub
lie: ..'-.-..- .t.,- r.rI -. ..
"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 present were
gathered anxiously around him, waiting
to catch his last breath. The physician,
with one hand upon the pulse of the dy-
ing man, and the other laid upon his
heart, was intently watching for the mo-
ment when life should cease,
lie fingered longer than we had expect
ed. At last the physician said: He is
gone, he is dead
Then believe that for four or five min
utes there was not the slightest noise or
movement in that awful presence. We
all stood transfxed in our position, speech
less, 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 si-
lence and said:
"Docter, will you say anything P"
Ireplied, Il will speak to 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 imperilled country.
When ceased, there arose from the
lips of the entire company fervid and
spontaneous amen
And has not the whole heart of the
loyal nation responded 'Amen p
Was not that prayer, there offered,
responded to in a most remarkable man
ner? When in our history have the peo-
pie of this land been found more closely
bound together in purpose and heart,
than when the telegraphic wires bore all
over the country the sad tidings that
President Lincoln was dead?'

frost was sharper than ever. Sheep were
frozen in the lenny fields, and poultry on
their perches, but the good woman had
walked to the nearest town and bought
blanket 1T was welcome addition to
their bed covering, and it was many a
long year since they had been SO comfor-
table. ,..-,t g.o liz I'D. s
But it CHANGED one day at noon, that,
looking out of her easement, she spied
three young gentlemen skating along the
ice towards her cottage. They sprang
on to the bank, took off their skates, and
made for her door. The young nobleman
informed her that he had had such Sc
we're cold that he could not come to visit
her before. "lIe spoke as pleasantly"
she observed, in telling the story, "as if |
had been a lady, and no less ! And then
he brough Ia parcel out of his pocket,
and I've been over to b. he says, 'and
bought you book fora keepsake, and
hope you will accept it : and then all
talked as pretty as could be for about ten
minutes, and went away So l waited
till master came home and we opened the
parcel, and there was a fine bible inside,
all over gold and red morocco. and nv
name was written inside; and bless him
aten pound note doubled down over the
names. Pm sure when thought he was
poor, forlorn creature, he was kindly
welcome. So master laid out part of the
money in tools,we rented garden, and he
goes over on market days to sell what we
grow. So now, thank God, we want for
nothing" r5 ..#s.. ....
This is how she generally concludes the
little history, never failing to add that the
young lord kissed her baby. .
But said my friend, II have not told
you what l thought the best part of the
anecdote. When this poor Christian wo-
man was asked what had induced her to
take in perfect stranger, and trust him
with the best clothing her house afforded,
she answered simply, "Well, saw him
shivering and shaking, so l thought, thou
shalt come in for the sake of Him that
had not where to lay His head"
The old woman in the other cottage
may open her door every night of her f1-
ture Life to some forlorn beggar, but it is
all but certain that she will never open it
to nobleman in disguise .. ...-
Let us do good, not to receive more in
return, but as an evidence of gratitude for
what has already been bestowed. In
few words, let it be "all for the love and
nothing for reward" ..'

CHARrTY.-IIe who thinks better of his
neighbors than they deserve, cannot be
bad man, for the standard by which his
judgment is formed is the goodness of hiss
own heart. 1t is the base only who be-
lieves all men base, or in other words, like
themselves. Few, however, are all evil. =
Even Nero did good turn to some body a
for when Rome was rejoicing over his,
death some loving hand covered his grave
with flowers. Public men are seldom or I,
never fairly judged, at least while living.
However pure, they cannot escape calum-
ny; however incorrect, they are sure to
find eulogists. History may do them jus
tice; but they rarely get it while alive
either from friends or foes. g'h;;Dd lt
