A story About Iincoln---HEoNy MIR.
Stanton Prevented Him from
Committing Suicide.

The Philadelphia Post publishes some
"reminiscences of the late Mr.. Stanton,
among which is the following:
Mr.. Lincoln was very sensitive of the
criticisms of the newspaper press, heiev-
ing it as he asserted the true voice OF the
people. The failures of Mcdowell and
Mcclellan, and Burnside and Pope with
the army of the Potomac, and the ac-
companying criticism of the newspapers
had almost crazed him. Time and again
he would free himself from the White
House, and seek Mr.. Stanton's little office,
the only place in Washington, he often
remarked, where he was free from bores.
He often talked to Mr.. Stanton of resign
ing or pressing on Congress the propriety
of giving control of the army and navy
to the military men. 1t was durln- Il j.
period that he conceived the idea of put
ting Hooker in command of the army
of the Potomac and have him make an
effort for success. From the time
Hooker began TO march, until the smoke
of battle had cleared from the fatal field
of Charlottesville. no scarcely knew
what it was to sleep. II will be rrmrm-
bered the fight lasted three days. During
the first two days it looked as if Hooker
was about to accomplish what so many
had failed to do, but on the third day the
usual half-hour dispatches began to make
matters locke worse The whole day Mr..
Lincoln Was miserable. He ate nothing
and would see no ONE but Mr.. Stanton
As it grew dark, the dispatches ceased
coming altogether. The President walked
from the White House to the War De-
partment and anxiously inquired for
Hooker. The night was dark and stormy
about as mean night as Was ever ex-
perienced in Washington. About o'clock,
the President closed his visits to the War
An hour afterward, dispatch of an
indefinite character was received, and Mr.
Stanton hurried with it to the White
House. He found Mr.. Lincoln walking
the room, and as he entered, the agoniz-
ing appearance of the man SO terrified
him that it was with difficulty he could
speak. Mr.. Lincoln walked up to him
like a wild man, read it and simply re-
''Stanton, there's hope yet" At
Mr.. Stanton's solicitation, he accompanied
him to the War Department, where they
agreed to spend the time together until
something definite was heard from Hook
er. For four hours, the longest and most
wearisome of his life, said Mr.. Stanton,
they waited before the dispatch, ANNOUNCE
ing the retreat of Hooker, was received. |
When Mr.. Lincoln read it, he threw up
bis hands and exclaimed, "My God STAN
ton, our cause is lost. We are ruined,
we are ruined, and such fearful loss of
life. My God! this is more than / can
endure" He stood trembling like leaf,

his face of CHASTITY hue, the perspira-
ton rolling down his brow. He put on
his hat and coat, and began pacing the
floor. For five minutes he was silent, and
then turning to Stanton he said, "If I am
not about early tomorrow, don't feel
alarmed. Defeated again and so many
killed ! What will the people say" AS
he made this remark he went to open the
door to go out. His action alarmed Mr..
Stanton, and he stopped him and entreat-
ed him to return, that they might talk
and act like men. With difficulty he
had him return, and Mr.. Stanton began
to try to cheer him. He finally got him
to consent to retire to bed and leave for
the army together next morning-which
they did. Lincoln afterwards told Mr..
Stanton that when he spoke to him
about not being alarmed if he was not
about next morning, he had fully made
up his mind to go to the Potomac and
drown himself. Mr.. Stanton said he
thought at the time, that he contemplated
suicide, and never felt so frightened dur
ing his lifetime.

Love to Hear Them Pray.
BY LINNIE LEE.

l love to hear them pray, who wear
The christians arnor through the week
Who bear the burdens of the cross,
And easier duties do not seek
Whose souls are clothed, with christian love
Which works good will to man;
Whose hearts, and pockets, both agree
In working out the plan.
love to hear him pray, who can
Forgive, and be forgiven;
Who prays not empty words, which fall
"a million miles from Heaven -
Wholend no ear to ISLANDERS guile,
Revenge cannot afford;
Who gives, to aid, the suffering poor,
Who lendeth to the Lord.
| love to hear her pray, who seeks
To know, and do, her Masters will,
Whose heart, the fashions of the world
And batteries does not fill
Who dares to kneel, beside the poor,
Or wear q palmer dress,
That she may dry the widows tear,
Or aid the fatherleSs.
Religion for the seventh day,
For the seventh day alone;
And prayers, made only for display,
Will never reach the Throne;
God looks behind the slender 'yeil,"
Proclaims that pride must fall,
Accepts no seventh part QfGfe,
For He requires it all.

DIR. A. l.. SCOVILL, is the inventor of several
medical preparations which have become very
popular, and have been literally used. Among
his inventions are s'Halrs Balsam for the lungs"
and "Liverwort and Tar" For the past six years
a better Lung remedy has been offered to the
public. Read the following letter from DR.. SEQ
viii referring to it
Messrs. j. n. HARRIS & CO.,
Gents L make the following statement
from perfect conviction and knowledge of the
benefits of ALIENS LUNG BALSAM in cur
ing the most deep-seated Pulmonary Consump-
ton I have witnessed its effects on the young
and on the old, and 1 truly say that it is by far
the best expectorant remedy with which am
acquainted For Coughs, and all the early stages
of Lung complaints, I believe it to be a certain
cure, and if every family would keep it by them,
ready to administer upon the first appearance of
disease about the Lungs, there would be very
few cases of fatal consumption. 1t causes the
phlegm and matter to raise, without irritating
those DELICATE organs the Lungs, and without
producing constipation Of the bowels. 1t also
gives strength to the system, stops the Dsght-
sweats, and changes all the morbid secretions to
a healthy state.

CHEsTER.-On Wednesday evening
last large, intelligent and appreciative
audience assembled in the Congregational
church to listen to a very able lecture by
Rev Mr.. Hale on the subject of Woman's
Sphere. The speaker did not propose to
enter the arena of the mere rights of wo-
man, but would endeavor to shown her
legitimate sphere of usefulness and her
natural tendencies to be conferred in the
home circle. He would not restrict her
to domestic duties, wider range of ac-
ton might consistently ibe hers, but he
would inquire what inherent peculiarities
in her nature fitted her for stump speak
ing, administering the law, medicine, the
ology, sc. To sustain his position, the
speaker drew a fine portrait from the
matron spoken of in Prov. 31st, COM
mencing at the 10th verse. The lecture
abounded in sparkling hits, snd the liter
ary accomplishments of some of the
female champions of Woinan's Suffrage
were sarcastically dealt with, though as
race the girls were highly spoken of. At
the close of the lecture a vote of thanks
were rendered to Mr. Hale for his instruc-
tive and entertaining lecture.
The much talked of festival to be
given by the ladies OF the society in aid
of purchasing fire engine will take
place at Ingraham's Hall next Wednes-
day evening, the 9th inst. The occasion
is intended to be one of great enjoyment |
to all. The bill of attractions will be |
more elaborate than on any former occa-
sion of the kind. No creed stands in the
way of this enterprise, all alike are inter-
ested and wish it success. The only
thing we fear is want of room to hold the
crowd who will certainly gather TO aid
the ladies in carrying out their project of
purchasing a fire engine.
