Death of the Sleeping Woman.

Miss Susan Caroline Godsey, known as the
Sleeping beauty, died at the residence of her
mother, in Obion county, Tenn, on the 9th
ult. She had attained the age of thirty-one
years, and, as was alleged, had been in her
sleeping condition for about twenty -four years.
The Nashville Union OF the 4th says:
" Her case has excited great interest, and
gave rise to much investigation and discussion
among scientific men. The true nature of her
affiictiOn. however. was never understood She
was brought to Nashville in the fail of 1867
for the ostensible purpose of procuring medi-
cal aid, but was really in charge OF an agent
who contemplated making an exhibition of her
She was accompanied by a brother and other
relations, who were very much attached to her.
While they were in Nashville they boarded at
the house Of Major Bruce, on Market street,
and the sleeper was constantly watched by
Mrs. Bruce, who took great interest in her,
She remained under Mrs. Bruce's care eleven
days. While there she was visited by great
many persons and had with her one or more
physicians all the time. She awakened every
hour, night and day, at almost the same sec
ond each time, and remained awake frOm seven
TO ten minutes. just after going to sleep each
time she had commissions that shook the room
and at such times she appeared to be suffering
great pain. When asleep she was dead to
everything, but when awake talked pleasantly
and inteligently, sometimes complaining Of
pain, and exclaiming, oh, my head |" and
when she awakened she invariably asked for
water, but ate very little. She said she bad
no consciousness Of ever having dreamed, aud
that it was no pleasure for her to live afflicted
as she was. She was very sensitive, and ap.
peared mortified to think that she was being
exhibited. Her affiiction was ifiaugurated by
a spell of chills Some medical men have at
tribute1 II TO the medicine she then took
others, that the chils we're precursory to her
long sleeping state. Upon leaving Nashville
she went to st. Louis and remained there a
short time. It 10 said that the physicians there
unanimously agreed that she was an imposi-
tion. She soon returned to the home of her
mother, and has remained there ever since.

The Hon. William H. Herndon, the law
partner of President Lincoln, has grown weary
OF the attacks upon his veracity INDUCED 10 BY
Or. Holland, Mr.. Reed, aud others, who have
insisted that Mr.. Lincoln became a Christian
in the later years of his life aud has delivered
lecture in Springfield to establish the truth
of his statement that the President died 90 he
had lived outside of the Christian faith. He
engages in the discussion with the boldnsss
and energy characteristic of him, and certainly
goes far to invaIidate much of the testimony
relied upon by the champions of Mr.. Lncoln's
orthodoxy. The truth probably is that Mr..
Lincoln was one of the most reticent men who
ever lived in regard to his own spiritual exer-
cises He had a deep respect for religion and
for its outward symbols and forms. He had
also a profoundly religious sense, sometimes
approaching mysticism. But it will be as i'm
possible to prove that he was Christisn as to
prove that he was not, and historians and bi.
ographers will divide now, according to their
own personal beliefs or disbeliefs.

MIsrAKEs.-It is great mistake to set up
our standard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment of others BY your

To expect uniformity of opinion in the

To endeavor to mould all dispositions alike.
Not to yield to immaterial trifes
To look for perfection in our actions.
To worry ourselves and others With what

Not to make allowances for the iniirmities

A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.-We find the
following in an English periodical-The Book

thing that is old in the English literature-not
with respect to its merits but because it is old.
We have no doubt that the prophecy in ques-
ton Is genuine, and made, as The BoOktCorm
states, IN 1888, and republished in l64l. This
being the case, We must concede that ell the
prophecies have been fulfilled except the last
one. People who are not 10 hurry to quit

MOTHER sKIPToN's PROPHECY.
Carriages without horses shall 20,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall hy
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall more wonders do;
How strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root OF tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side,
Under the water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk,
La the air men shall be seen,
In white, 10 black, in green
Iron the water shall 6oat
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found and found

Fire and water shall wonders do:
England at last shall admit Jew.
The world to an end shall come

professions moved about him as he walked his

to him until he had locked his study door and
shut out all egress from the world of living be-

thorn greatly delighted in, writes every day

FOR THE CURE OF

DIR. Trask was engaged for twenty ye5-s in
a course of experiments upon the medical prop

combined. At the age OF seventy years lIe sue
ceeded in presenting to the world, as the result
Of his experiments, combination Of Vegetable
extracts the power OF which in remoV ing dis
eases is uneqlaled in the annals of .edicine.
HIS discovery consists IN a 'combna-
tiOn OF these powerful Vegetable Ext acts with
Electricity or Magnetism in the form u. en Oint-
ment.
Certain, It Is, that the remarkable and
unprecedented success which has attended its
application in the cure OF diseases, stamps it at
once as the greatest discovery of the age, and
calls for trial and close investigation Of us

ton 70 the capillary vessels OF the BODY, anu

means q controlling power is gained over the
most malignant forms Of disease, which cannot
be obtained from any other remedy.
Such Is the power OF this eombIna-
tt0u. that it penetrates TO every portion OF
the human frame; every bone and muscle, VEN,
nerve and lgament Is searched out ana hhue

Hence it copes as readily with internal as ex-

Such has frequently been the case in lnhamma-

No patient ever need die with this

For Inf1ammatOry Rheumatism
