LINCOLN’S HEART.
ATOUCHING STORY OF HIS
GOOD NATURE.
A Recital of a Pathetic Incident in
the Late War, and How Presi
dent Lincoln showed His
Nobility.
During the summer of the most
disastrous and doubtful year of the
late American war, the colonel of a
New Hampshire regiment lay for
some weeks extremely ill of camp
fever, near Hampton Roads, in
Virginia. Hearing of bis critical
condition, his wife left her North
ern home, and, after much difficul
ty, made her way to his bedside.
Her cheerful presence and careful
nursing so far restored him that he
was in a short time to be trans
ferred to Washington.
In the Potomac river the steam
er in which the invalid officer, Col.
Scott and his family had taken
passage, was sunk, in a collisou
with a larger vessel, in the night
time. The crew, and nearly all of
the sailors on board were rescued
or saved themselves; but amid the
horrible confusion of the scene,
Colonel Scott became separated
from his wife, and she was lost.—
The Colonel was picked up in the
water by the crew of the larger
steamer and under his direction
every effort was made to discover
his wife, or rather her body, for all
hope of finding her alive was soon
abandoned. The sad search was
fruitless ; it was resumed in the
morning, the people along the shore
humane confedrates, lending their
aid. But the gray, sullen river re
fused to give up its dead, and the
young officer half frantic with grief,
was compelled to go to Washing
ton. Within a week, however, he
received word that the body had
been washed on shore ; that those
good country people, generous foes,
had secured it, cared fpr it, and
were keeping it for him. /
It happened that Just at that
time imperative orders were issued
from the War Department, prohib
iting all intercourse with the pe
ninsula—a very necessary precau
tion against the disclosure of im
portant military plans. So it was
with some misgivings that Colonel
Scott applied to Secretary Stanton
for leave to return to Virginia on
his melancholy duty.
“Impossible, Colonel,” replied
Mr. Stanton ; “no one can have
leave to go down the river, at this
time, on any private mission what
ever. Our present exigencies de
mand the most stringent regula
tions, and I hope I need not
say to you that no merely personal
consideration should be allowed to
interfere with great national inter
ests. Your case is a sad one, but
this is a critical, perilous, cruel
time. ‘The dead must bury the
dead.’ ”
The Colo Del would have entreat
ed, but the busy secretary cut him
short with another “impossible,”
from which there was absolutely
no appeal. He went forth from
the presence, and returned to his
hotel quite overwhelmed.
Fortunately,he was that afternoon
visited by a friend to whom he told
the story of his unsuccessful appli
cation and sad perplexity, and who
immediately exclaimed, “Why not
apply to the President ?”
The Colonel had but little hope,
but acknowledging that the plan
was worth trying, drove to the
White House.
They were too late. It was Sat
urday evening, and Mr. Lincoln
had gone to spend Sunday at Sol
dier’s Rest, his summer retreat.—
This was but a few miles from town
and the Colonel’s indomitable friend
proposed that they should follow
him out, and they went. There
was then a popular belief that all
the wronged, the troubled, and suf
fering could find a refuge in “Eather
Abraham’s capacious bosom a
belief that was not far out of the
way. Yet there were times when
overburdened, wearied, tortured,
the patriarch longed to clear that
asylum of his forlorn inmates, to
bolt and bar and double lock it
against the world ; times when life
became too hard and perplexing for
his genial, honest nature, too seri
ous and tragic and rascally a thing
by half.
It happened, unluckily, that the
poor Colonel and his friends found
the President in one of his most
despondent and disgusted moods.
He was in his little private parlor,
alone in the gloaming. He was
lounging loosely in a large rocking
chair, jutting over it in all direc
tions. His slippered feet were ex
alted, his rough head was thrown
back, his long throat bare—he was
in his shirt sleeves. Yes* dear,
fastidious English reader, it was
genuine Yankee abandon—make
the most of it.
He turned upon his visitors with
a look of almost savage inquiry.—
There was, indeed, in his usually
pleasant eyes, a Wild, angry gleam
—a something like that glare ot a
worried animal at bay.
Colonel Scott proceeded very
modestly to tell his story ; but the
President interrupted him to say
brusquely, “Go to Stanton ; this is
his business.”
“I have been to him Mr. Presi
dent, and he will _do nothing for
me.”
“Yon have beeu to him and got
your answer, and still presume to
come to me! Am I to' have no
rest ?no privacy ? Must Ibe dog
ged to my last resting fastness, and
worried to death by inches? Mr.
Stanton has done just right. He
knows what he is about. Yonr de
mands are unreasonable, sir.”
“But, Mr. Lincolu, I thought you
would feel for me.”
“Feel for you! Good heavens!
I have to feel for five hundred
thousand more unfortunate than
you. We are at war, sir; don’t you
know we are at war ? Sorrow is the
lot of all; bear your share like a
man and a soldier.”
“I try to, Mr. President, but it
seems bard. My devoted wife lost
her life in coming to nurse me in
my sickness, and I can not even
take her body home to my chil
dren.”
“Well, she ought not to have
come down to the army. She could
have stayed at home. That is the
place for women. But if they will
go tearing about the country, in
such time's as these, and running
into all sorts of danger, they must
take the consequences! Not but
that I am sorry for yon, Colonel.
As for your wife, she’s at rest, and I
wish I were.”
Saying this the President leaned
back wearily in his chair, and clos
ed his eyes, not noticing, except by
a slight wave of his hand, the de
parture of his visitors.
I am not ashamed to confess
that my hero tossed restlessly that
-right upon a pillow wet with many
tears; that he was desperate and
resentful, utterly unresigned to the
decrees of Providence and the War
Department; and that he thought
Abraham Lincoln as hard as he
was ugly, and as inhuman as he
was ungainly.
Toward morning he fell asleep
and slept late. Before he was ful
ly dressed there came a quick
knock at the door of his chamber
and he opened it to President Lin
coln!
The good man came forward,
pale and eager, tears glistening in
uis eyes, and grasped the Colonel’s
hand, saying : “I treated you bru
tally last night. I ask your par
don. I was utterly tired out, bad
gered to death. I generally be
come about as savage as a wild cat
by Saturday night, drained dry of
the milk of human kindness. I
must have seemed to you the very
gorilla the rebels paint me. I was
sorry enough for it when you were
gone. 1 could not sleep a mo
ment last night, so I thought I’d
drive into town in the cool of the
morning and make it all right. For
tunately, I had little difficulty in
finding you.”
“This is very good of you, Mr.
President,” said tho Colonel, deep
ly moved.
“No, it isn’t; but that was very
bad of me, last night. I never
should have forgiven myself if I
had let that piece of ugly work
stand. That was a noble wife of
yours, Colonel. You were a happy
mau to have such a noble womaD
to love you ; and you must be a
good fellow, or such a woman
would never have risked so much
for you. And what grand women
there are in these times, Colonel!
What angels of devotion and mer
cy, and how brave and plucky !
going everywhere at the call of
duty ; facing every danger! I tell
you, if it were not for women, we
should all go to destruction, and
should deserve to. They are the
salvation of the nation. Now,
come, Colonel, my carriage is at the
door. I’ll drive you to the War
Department, and we’ll see Stanton
about this matter.”
Even at that early hour they
found the Secretary at his post.—
The President pleaded the case of
Colonel Scott, and not only reques
ted that a leave of absence should
be given him, but that a steamer
should be sent down the river ex
pressly to bring up the dead body
of his wife. “Humanity, Mr. Stan
ton,” said the good President, his
homely face transfigured with the
glow of earnest, tender feeling,
“humanity should overcome con
siderations of policy, and even mil
itary necessitv, in matters like
this.”
The Secretary was touched, and
he said something of his regret at
not having felt himself at liberty
to grant Colonel Scott’s request in
the first place.
TERMS:—S2.OO per Annum, in Advance.
“No, no, Mr. Stanton, said the
President; you are the right man
for this place. If we had such a
soft-hearted old fool as I here,
there would be no rales or regala
tions that the army of the country
could depend upon. But this is a
peculiar case. Only think of that
poor woman !”
“Of course, the “impossible” was
accomplished.
To the surprise of the Colonel,
the President insisted on driving
him to the Navy Yard, to see that
the Secretary’s order was carried
out immediately ; seeming to have
a nervous fear that some obstacle
might be thrown in the way of the
f— $8 expedition. He waited at
th'6 landing till all was ready, then
chained the officers of the steamer
to give every assistance and atten
tion to his “friend, Colonel Scott.”
With him he shook hands warmly
at parting, saying, “God bless you
my dear fellow. I hope you will
have no more trouble in this sad
affair—and, Colonel, try and forget
that night.”
Away up in the New Hampshire
churchyard there is a certain grave
carefully watched and tended bv
faithful love. But every April time
the violets on that mound speak
not alone of the womanly sweet
ness and devotion of her who sleeps
below—they are tender and tear
ful with the memory of the mur
dered President. —All the Yoar
Round.
—The prophetic words of Dan
iel Webster, uttered in 1852, have
become startlingly true in the
defeat of the Blaine Republican
party in 1884. Its fate is vividly
painted in his words: “For a party
that has been kept together for
years by the cohesive power of
public plunder, there is no futnre
and no resurrection.”
• --•---
The New York Truth says:
“Mr. James G. Blaine, retired
statesman, cannot overlook the fact
that the refusal of the editor of the
Tribune to pay bis printers a
faiiNday’s pay for a hard night's
work was the cause of his defeat.
It was the printers of New York—
the Republican printers— who elec
ted Grover Cleveland President ot
the United States.”
—The New York Journal of Com
merce (aristocratic Rep.) thinks the
Republicans have submitted to the
defeat of Blaine in a very decorous
way, and that they ought to do so
anyhow', adding: “Nothing can in
jure one member that will not be
felt by all, and the victors in a po
litical revolution, where parties are
thus equally divided, are not likely
to be wanting in an honest effort to
administer the government for the
common good.”
- —.
—Of the future course of the an
ti-Blaine Republicans the Spring
field Republican says: “That or
ganization will stay. It will be
ready henceforth for any emergen
cy. Independent of both parties,
it is prepared to reward either, or
to punish either. The sneers of
the practiced politicians at voting
in the air and at Independents who
belong to no organization will no
longer be beard. Bound by no
bonds which do not satisfy their
reason, they will yet prove that in
telligent men can combine with
effectiveness, act together with
vigor, and achieve a common end
over vast masses of ‘regulars’ and
tremendous odds. In this fact lies
the firmest insurance of the good
conduct of the new administration
and of all the administrations that
are to come, of whichever party.—
It proves the vigilance of the peo
ple above the prejudices, the an
tagonisms, and the frenzied alarms
of a heated canvass, and disproves
the gloomy doctrine that only one
half the people are fit to govern
the country.”
