son would have commuted the death pen
atty; and the people, blood-thirsty and
clamorous as they were, would have acqul-
esced in that action, when inspired by
such public favorites as General Geary, Lew
Wallace, Hunter, and others of the commits
sion. So certain were the chief army OH
GERS that the President would act favoraDly
on that most potent pressure that General
w. S. Hancock, of his own motion, stood in
Pennsylvania avenue, with signalmen sta
toned at the White House, on top of the
treasury building and Capitol Hill, so that
they could telegraph down in minute: OF
course the matter of the petition was kept
quiet, but it was known to the leading army
officers, among whom it was regarded as
sort of professional secret. The signers,
therefore, made no mention of it, for they,
supposing the President had ignored it, felt
too mortified at the supposed cavalier treat
ment to make themselves subjects of COM
ment. Gen. Hancock had an idea that at
the last moment, mayhap, the Presidents
great heart and solicitude to do exactly
right would prompt him to sign commu-
nication, and so had everything prepard for
it's reception. Gen. Hancock would have
prevented the execution, had the President
made sign, if it would have obliged him
to turn his soldiers bayonets against STAN
ton himself But President johnson was
i'll and abed in the western part of the White
House, and the War Department was in
possession ; at it's door there was neither in
gress nor egress.
Archbishop Spaulding, of Baltimore, the
Roman Catholic primate of America, bear
ing the Presidents "card Of access at any
hour" was repulsed by DIR. Drake Mckay,
then captain of the provost guard, now in
public service in this city. On the evening
of our visit, Mr.. johnson was greatly agita-
ted, and did not spare invective in express
ing his opinion of Joseph Holt, recognizing
that that functionary had done him and the
country an injustice and cast upon them
endless odium. And to the day of his death
President johnson bore a weight at his
heart, placed there by Stanton and Holt,
Stanton committed suicide, and Holt is liv
ing in Washington, miserable, morose old

OVER A COFFIN.LID.

"She-was-a-goo od--wife-to-me. A
good wife, God bless her!"
The words were spoken in trembling &C
cents over coffin-lid. The woman asleeE
there had borne the heat and burden of life's
long day, and no one had ever heard hel
murmur; her hand was quick to reach out
in helping grasp to those who fell by the
wayside, and her feet were swift on errand:
of mercy; the heart of her husband hao
trusted in her; he had left her to long hours
of solitude, while he amused himself ir
scenes in which she had no part. When
boon companions deserted him, when tickle
affection selfshly departed, when pleasure
palled, he went home and found her wait
ing for him.
"Come from your long, long rowing,
On life's sea so bleak and rough,
Come to me- tender and loving
And 1 shall be blest enough"
That had been her love-song-always or
her lips or in her heart. Children had been
born to them. She had reared them almost
alone-they were gone! Her hand had LED
them to the uttermost edge Of the morning
that has no noon. Then she had cOmforted
him, and sent him out strong and whole
hearted while she stayedat home and-cried
What can woman do but cry ?-and trust:
Well, she is at rest now. But she could
not die until he had promised to "bear up
not to fret, but to remember how happy
they had been. They? Yes, it is even 80
For she was blest in giving, and he in re-
ceiving. 1t was an equal partnership after
all!
"She-was-a-good- -wife-to-me."
Oh! man! man! Why not have told
her so, when her ears were not dulled by
death? Why wait to say these words over
a coffin wherein lies wasted, weary, gray:
haired woman, whose eyes haveso long held
that pathetic story of loss and suffering and
patient yearning, which so many women's
eyes reVeal-to those who read. Why not
have made the wilderness in her heart bios
som like the rose with the prodigality OF
your love? Now you would give worlds
were they yours to give-to see the tears OF
ioy your words would have once caused, be-
jeweling the closed windows of her soul.
1t is too late.
We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest
But oft to our own
The bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.

+ "How very nice, COMFY" I said, for she
stood quite still to receive compliments
every pretty indeed, dear"

I was enjoying a last tete-d-tete with Miss
Flutters, and telling myself that tomorrow
I should lose that young lady forever, and
how would that feel? But, Conny had
