An lScIDENr OF THE NINETEENTH
CENTuRY.-A poor man in Scranton, Pa -,
lost II child by small-po During the
sickness he was obliged to beg bread,
but so fearful were the people of com
ing in contact with him, that the morsel
that he did receive was barely sufficient
to keep his family from starvation.
When his child died he applied to the
authorities for coffin, but could not
obtain one. Councilmen sent him to
the directors, and the poor direct
ors referred him to the councilmen, so
that between the official bencvolence of
public men, the man returned home and
made out of rough boards box in
which he placed his dead child. He
was then obliged to carry the rude
coffin to Il grave which he dug with his
own hands.

The Emancipation Proclamation.

10 the Editor OF the New York Times
In your issue of the 2lst inst, you
quote from Mr.. Maunsell g. Fields
new book, Memories of Many Men, '"
among other passages, one which is
calculated to give an erroneous impress
sion concerning the preparation and
proclamation of President Lincom's
emancipation proclamation
In the first place, the proclamation
was no sudden and unexpected birth,
and was no surprise to anybody in or
oui OF the Cabinet, having been formally
promised to the country III default OF
cessation of hostilities, etc, by the
States and parts of States in rebellion,
three months before.
In the second place, the paper, as
finally published, was not in any sense
the amended result of the joint wis
dom of the Cabinet at the meeting dur
ing which it was read to them.
MIR. Nicolay brought it to me to make
copies of it, Immediately on the adj
journment of the meeting, and the only
interllneation or change that | can now
recall was the one in MI Stewards
Mr.. Lincoln read it to him in private,
pIlbI W tlt illccIlllS. III IlliS respect,
also, Mr.. Fields recollection of his
conversation with Mr. Seward must be
erroneous.
The paper remained in my custody
until it went to Chicago, where the
great fire burned it up. 1t WAS in Mr..
Lincoln s own handwriting throughout,
with the single exception referred to,
and there never was a man more averse
than he to anything like patchwork, or
less likely to accept without discus
sion the crude and hasty suggestions
of Others
Ii my memory should be at fault at
all, Mr.. Nicolay, Mr.. Hay, or Mr..
Frank b. Carpenter can easily correct
me. The latter especially has heard
the minutest particulars relating TO the
proclamation from Mr. Lincoln's own
lips again and again, while he was pre-
pairing the studies for his great painting
of that memorable Cabinet meeting.

strange effect it produced on animal who had
accidentally swallowed large quantity. Owing to
this circumstance he was led to make many expert

that it had very peculiar effect on the Nervous Sys
TEN. This induced him to experiment both on himself
and some OF his patients, and such was the wonder
fully beneficial effects. and rapid the cure OF those
afflicted with nervous diseases that Dr. Lothrop
came to the conclusion that he had discovered
and valuable addition to the medicines of the phar
macop9a. He soon found that this medicine, in con-
junction with some Others cured nervous diseases OF
all kinds with certainty and rapidty Of which he
had no previous conception
few words that special disease generally known
asNervOus Debility Weakness This is in most cases
brought on by total ignorance of the fearful pern
cous Effects but it is also brought in many cases
brought on through no fault of the person afflicted
but by d1sease long confinement, and several other
causeS-but in all the effect the constitution
is the same. Heretofore, there has been cure for
this disease, but DR.. Lothrop having put up this
medicine in the form of CORDIAL BALM OF S KRI-
CUM AND TONIC PILLS, combined with other

speedy cure. Our Lunatic Asylums full Ct pa

The boat is rocking on the river;

While like a fount OF light
Into the sun the sturgeon springs
And blue the arrowy swallows CLEAN
About us in their flight.
Beyond the breakers and the bar
The great ships with their swelling sails
Are tossing out to sea;
They slide through night and distance far
For CULTS where brood the unknown gales,

But we, between the blossoming shores,
Will pluck the boughs, will mark the ris
Tumbling their foam along,
Will wait, in resting ON our oars,
Some message from the mighty hills,
Or catch some plowboy's song.
Oh, happier we than they whose choice
