A TRIBUTE TO DR. BRAINERD.
The following letter, which appeared in
the Cincinnati Herald a few weeks ago, will
be read with interest by the many friends of
Dr. Brainerd among our subscribers:—
A few weeks ago, while visiting in Cincin
nati, I received a letter from a friend in
Philadelphia, which enclosed a withered leaf
which had been plucked from Dr. Brainerd’s
newly-made grave. Since then it has been
my mournful privilege to visit this hallowed
spot, and, as there are not a few readers of
the Herald who will also prize a memento
from this grave, I entrust to them a simple
memorial.
The brief newspaper telegrams which an
nounced the death of Dr. Brainerd, from
apoplexy, in Scranton, Pa,, August 22d,
could give no particulars to distant mends of
the manner of his departure. It was a trans
lation rather than a death. He retired at 9
o’clock P. M., in usual health, and shortly
after slept; at one o’clock A. M., as we
compute time, he awoke in heaven, having
known neither struggle nor pain in the
awakening. Within three minutes from the
time his loud breathing aroused his wife,
medical aid was at hand —but in vain; the
pulse was gone, and his children, who hast
ened tu his chamber to minister, found them
selves standing beside his inanimate clay.
The cheek rested upon his hand, which
pressed the pillow in the easy posture of
slumber; but it was the slumber of death.
At nine o’clock the same morning, his
family set out for Philadelphia with the re
mains. They were attended from his daugh
ter’s residence to the depot by the clergy
men of Scranton, of whatever denomination,
and by the leading citizens of the town, who
came spontaneously in a body, to proffer this
final tribute to the coffined dead.
The Mowing Saturday afternoon (August
25th) the funeral took place in “ Old Pine
Street Church,” the scene of Dr. Brainerd’s
pastorate of thirty years. It is said that, ex
cept the obsequies of Lincoln, so large
a funeral was never known in Philadelphia,
Between six and seven o’clock, amid the
tears of the multitude, the body was commit
ted to a grave which had been prepared for
it, in the churchyard close to the eastern wall
of the venerable sanctuary. It was in a
small lot enclosed by an iron railing, where
already slept “ May, the pastor’s daughter,”
and a son, who also died in childhood. The
white tombstones which have been accumu
lating in this somewhat spacious churchyard
for more than a century, crowd each other
closely, suggesting the thought that in the
“Church triumpant,” Pine Street Church
far outnumbers the throng of communicants
which now people her pews. But Dr. Br ain
erd is the first pastor who has been buried
there. Surely he chose well his resting-places
where his people might visit it, where the
voices of children in the Sunday-school
might float above it, and sounds of the sanc
tuary, in prayer, in sermon andin song, might
hallow it until the resurrection mom.
When I visited this grave, it had been
closed six weeks. It was covered with fresh
flowers then, and had been kept so, I was
cmdibly informed, eVer since the funeral.
Bach Sabbath morning a fresh wreath of ex
quisite beauty had been laid upon it, and
boquets such as only the resources of the
wealthy could command. But it was tributes
of another sort which kept up the freshness
through the week; these were offerings from
his numberless friends.among the poor, who
would slip quietly in as they passed about
their week-day work-, and lay their single
flowers, bedewed with tears, upon the sod.
His congregation constitute a great be
reaved family. The church and the Sunday
sehool rooms are still heavily draped, and
in every service there is mention of the de
parted.
They have found much consolation in the
remembrance of Dr. Brainerd’s last sermon
in his own pulpit. This was on Sabbath,
July Bth, and was preached in anticipation of
his leaving, during the week, for his summer
vacation. The text was Luke xxiv. 29;
“ Abide with us; for it is toward evening,
and the day is far spent.” H(f remarked
that he left them each year with increasing
pensiveness; soon the last parting must
come, for with him, the day of life drew on
toward its evening; but he said there was
a Friend Who could abide with them although
he might leave them ; and unto the keeping
of that Divine Friend he committed them.
A fortnight ago the Sunday-school of the
church, together with the two mission
schools under their charge, held their anni
versary. Seven hundred children excluded
all spectators from the lower part of the au
dience-room, and their demeanor as sincere
mourners was marked.
The uproarious boys from the mission
schools all knew and loved Dr. Brainerd
from personal contact, and they distinguish
ed themselves by unparalleled good behavior
in this house of mourning. For a period
extending over the entire life of the principal
superintendent and of most of the teachers,
Dr. B. had addressed them upon each anni
versary occasion. For the first time he was
absent, and there seemed a great void in the
services, which tears alone could in any de
gree fill.
The climax of these commemorative ser
vices was reached last Sabbath afternoon,
when the house, with its spacious galleries,
was densely crowded to hem: Rev. Mr. Barnes’
memorial sermon. This discourse was
preached by appointment of the Presbytery
of Philadelphia. The text was Daniel xii,
first and second verses.
Words fail to adequately convey an idea of
the sermon and the scene. The old walls
which for thirty years had given back the
faithful pastor’s well-remembered voice, now
resounded with the earnest) tremulous tones
of his dearest ministerial friend, in sentences
of discriminating eulogy, and at length, in
the agonized expression of his mwn sense of
personal bereavement. He Sad come to
weep with those who wept, and surely sym
pathy with the living and affection for the
dead were never more gracefully blended
than in this eloquent tribute of Albert Barnes
to the memory of his quarter-century co
worker, Thomas Brainerd.
Dr. Brainerd will long be remembered as
preacher, patriot and author, but longer still
as pastor. He constituted the model pastor
of our day. In his genial presence there
was ever light and life for the people of his
fiock. He baptized the children, and, as they
grew up, he watched over them in the sanc
tuary and in the street, prayed with and for
them, and in due time was permitted to re
ceive numbers of them into the Church of
Christ. As soon as qualified, he appointed
each to his or her place in the working corps
of “Old Pine Street Church,” and kept
each in place by his untiring vigilance ; thus
it came to pass that, although the fathers had
fallen asleep, and leading families were con
stantly removing up town, this old far “down
town” church at the time of his death was
one of the most efficient of our denomination
in Philadelphia. .
Ciiicmnati’s interest m this noble Christian
life finds its origin inrthese same pastoral
qualifications, which in their incipienoy bore
fair fruits in the old Fourth Church, which
still stands on the hill side in the suburb of
Fulton. This church was feeble and poor—
the congregation a mere handful —and Dr.
Brainerd was with them but two years. Yet
there are to-day, on the banks of the Ohio
and elsewhere, scores of men and women who
are among the most faithful workers in the
Master’s vineyard, who date their inspiration
to the Fourth Church of Cincinnati and its
youthful pastor. Upon some of these he
only laid his hand in the rite of infant bap
tism, but through that sanctified “ power of
the individual” which so characterized the
man, his influence ever followed these bap
tized children, and was largely instrumental
in leading them to Christ.
He never forgot them. When he visited
Cincinnati the churches of the city rarely
knew of his presence, but he called upon each
member of the old families within reach, and
never omitted to stand upon the steps of his
‘ ‘ first church, ’ ’ and when access was possible,
entered his old pulpit for a few moments, the
better to recall the past.
This love for Cincinnati did not wane in his
latest years. Over the vicissitudes of Christ’s
kingdom there his tears often fell, for through
the Herald and otherwise he kept himself in
close sympathy with its life. Cincinnati
friends were welcomed to his fireside, and if
of the Fourth Church, he would sometimes
get out a little old note-book belonging to the
early time, for the purpose of talking over
and inquiring after the people of long ago.
Many of these people upon whom he be
stowed remembrance, were, when he knew
them, laborers in the rolling-mills and ship
yards of Fulton, poor women who toiled by
the day to support their families, or young
boys who worked for their Bcanty bread.
This Christ-like trait of preaching the Gos
pel to the poor was characteristic (although
above _ most Christian ministers, it had been
his privilege to bless and to mould, the rich,)
and was as beautifully revealed in his last
work as it had been in his first. During his
month in Scranton his most enjoyed recrea
tion was to go at noontime and sit with the
begrimed and ignorant miners when they
came out from the pits to eat their lunch.
Going among them, he would inquire in his
pleasant way, whether there was not room on
their plank for another man to sit. They
would crowd together and make room for,
him —and sitting among them he would talk,
while they ate, of. their homes across the
ocean, of their families, their personal habits,
and doubtless of the better country, they, the
while, not knowing who he was. Leaving
them when the signal for return to work was
sounded, they would call after him familiarly,
expressing in their rude speech the honest
wish that he would come again.
From this humble service among the miners
Dr. Brainerd, the beloved, passed to his rest
and reward- B. L. B.

THE EXECDim.
Another Pardon.— The ex-rebel General
S. G. French, of Mississippi, has been par
doned by the President.
• The Veto of the District Suffrage bill was
sent to the House Saturday. It is claimed
that all the Cabinet but Stanton, and that
Gen. Grant himself approved it.
XXXIXth COKBBESS.—Second Session.
Senate.—Jan. 3. —The Judiciary Commit
tee were directed to inquire whether legisla
tion be necessary to prevent the sale of per
sons into slavery as a punishment for crime.
Mr. Howard, of Michigan, gave notice that
he would introduce amendments to the bill
in regard to jurors in Utah, providing for the
suppression of polygamy. Mr. Sumner
called up the bill to prevent the exportation,
under fradulent representations, of negroes.
Pending its consideration the Senate adjourn
ed.
Jan. 4.—The bill depriving the President
of the amnesty power was taken up. Mr.
Johnson, of Maryland, made a speech argu
ing that the power to grant amnesty was
vested in the Executive by the Constitution,
and could not be taken from him by ■ legisla
tion. The bill passed—yeas 27, nays 7. It
deprives the President of the power to pro
claim a general amnesty when he may deem
it expedient. Having already passed the
House, it goes to the President for approval.
By the Amnesty bill, thus, repealed, the
President could declare; in any proclamation,
that he extended amnesty by his own resolu
tion and by the authority-and approval of
Congress. The repeal of the section grant
ing that power will prevent the assertion that
Congress intends to sanction a general am
nesty. Congress, on the contrary, by the
passage of the bill will protest against the
exercise of such clemency,as long as the terms
of restoration are unadjusted.
Jan. 7. —The veto of the District Suffrage
bill was received, and the bill passed by a
vote of 29 to 10. .
House. —Jan. 3. —The Reconstruction bill
of last April came up in order, the question
being on a substitute offered by Mr. Stevens
in December, the text of which has already
been published. Mr. Stevens spoke in sup
port of the measure, and said that the late
decision of the Supreme Court had rendered
immediate action by Congress indispensable.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, offered a substitute for
Mr. Stevens 1, bill, similar in its general tone,
which, was ordered to be printed. Mr. Went
worth,of Illinois, asked leave to introduce a
resolution looking to the prevention of the
release, by the Supreme Court, of the Camp
Douglas and assassin conspirators, but failed,
objection being made by Mr. Eldridge, of
Wisconsin.
Jan. 4.—Many bills were offered, but none
acted on, and there was a season of speech
making on reconstruction. Mr. Stevens’ Re
construction bill acknowledges the validity
of existing governments in the ten States for
municipal purposes provides a Commission
of three persons for each State to be elected by
Congress, paid by the United States, and the
expense charged to. the State, to superintend
elections,, and appoint election officers; fixes
upon the 7th of May next foi election of
delegates to Constitutional Conventions, and
3d of June for the meeting of the Conven
tions; gives the right to vote and to be elect
ed to all adnlt male citizens; alienizes per
sons who were of age on the 4th of March,
1861, and who have held office under, or vol
untarily sworn allegiance to the" Confederate
government; provides for their naturalization,
like that of other aliens, five years after de
claring intentions, renouncing all other alle
giance and taking the oath; requires that
the constitutions formed, and laws enacted
shall make no distinction founded on lan
guage, race or former condition ; “The citi
zens of said State may present the constitu
tion to Congress,” and Congress may approve
ir,"admit the State to the Union and re
presentatives to Congress.
Jan. 5. —The day was spent in speech
making, revealing some (Rversity of views
among Republicans as to. impeachment.
Jan. 7. —A resolution impeaching the Pre
sident and instructing the Judiciary Commit
. tee to inquire into the official conduct of An
drew Johnson was passed, 108 to 38.

JHSCEU.ANEOIIS.
To Light a Dark Room.—The London
Builder recommends a plan for lighting a
dark room in which the darkness is caused by
its being situated on a narrow street or lane.
Tbe Builder says if the glass of a window in
such a room is placed several inches within
the outer face of the wall, as it is tbe general
custom in building houses, it will admit very
little ligVit, that which it gets being only the
reflection from the walls of the opposite
houses. If, however, for the window be
substituted another in which all the panes of
glass are rougbiy ground on the outside, and
flush with the outer wall, the light from the
whole of the visible sky and from the re
motest parts of the opposite wall will be in
troduced into the apartment, reflected from
the innumerable faces or facets which the
rough grinding of the glass has produced.
The whole window will appear as if the sky
were beyond it, and from every point of this
luminous surface light will radiate into all
parts of the room.
The British Government recently invited
the Pope to take refuge in Malta should he
leave Dome. The French Government, how
ever, having intimated that if such an offer,
coming from a Protestant Government, were
carried out, it would be a reproach to the
Catholic world, Lord Stanley, without with
drawing the offer, has instructed the British
agent in Rome to express publicly his hope
that the Pope will not adopt it.
