Certificate of Mr. J..l'. LITCIL of Charlestown. Msts
This is to certify . that nine weeks since I was at tacked
with Neuralgia, in the most violent form. Several
phyriciatis were applied to, who did all they could to
relieve me. but to no purpose. Every, patent medicine t
and remedy that could he found, were applied witbouti
effect. My face was poulticed and bandaged in order to ,
find ; relief. Since the Neuralgia sitUcked me I lost
twenty l seven pounds of flesh. In this state a friend of
mine recommended me to try Mrs. M. G. Brown's Meta
physical DisCovery, asit had cured a friend of his of ye
sy bad eyes .which had baffled the skill of the most
eminent physicians. -
Consequently I went to Mrs. M. G. Brown's offico,
and obtained her Metaphysical Discovery, on Saturday
the nineteenth , inetant. I applied it at four o'clock in
the afternoon. Theresult was that Neuralgia snbaided.
Almost immediately I felt relief. I slept well. without
any poultice rie befofe and at the time of giving -this
certificate, the 21st inst., I consider myself delivered of
my disease, and recommend the Metaphysical Discove
,ry to all who are suffenug.

. • Philadelphia, October. IT, 1882,
From Injuries received• in`rny right eye, when a 'boy,
a chronic inflammation had been produced. in conse
quence of which '
.I suffered constant martrydom. Every
moment of my waking We was, embittered, and I was
frequently unable to sleep at night.
A variety of remed* is had been resorted to vrithon
success. and I entertained the parpose. :ma last resort,
of having the ball taken out the socket, in the hope 1
of thus finding relief.
In the meanwhile, most providentially, I noticed, one I
day in a shop window a_ bottle
-of Poor Richard's Eye
Water I had never heard of it before. but determined to
try :•.—and _did with the most delightful results. Ie
few days the painful irritation was removed. I mild
bear the atrongest light, and went forth as it,were to
to the enjoyment of anew life. now keep a bottle of
it always in the house, and if my eye seems at all dis
' posed to annoy me. I give.lt a dose and.there is an end
of it. I would not be without it for, any amount of
money. .1 take occasion to say further, that my wife
used to suffer severely at times from protracted rain
in and over her eye -,and she has found Poor Richard's
Eye Water sovereign specific in her case, giving her.
almost instant relief:
Grateful to God for the benefit I hare .persorially re
, ceived. I cannot but recommend the preparation most
cordially to all who are sufferers llke myself.

words of mine can_ adeqoately portray
the Sorrow, the gloom, the poignant grief
which is pressing like a horrible incubus
upon the nation's heart on this, the, saddest
day in all America's eventful history. I feel
my inability to do justioe to the theme on
which I have been called to speak—who can ?
I would rather sit
,down in , your midst and
weep than talk to you from this sacred 'desk
this morning. , But silence at this time, on
this mournful occasion, were an outrage-upon
the wounded feelings 'of the people, and an
-insult to the memory of the illustrious dead.
It is fitting, therefore, that something be said
and done in this dark and gloomy hour, ex
pressiie of our feelings as American citizens,
in this truly painful moment ; and I ant glad
that we. have n:ssembled ourselves together
in this house of God, to give this public to
ken of grief for the hiss, of our beloved Presi
dent, who, but a ffiw days ago, was the
greatest of America's' living; and who' is to

•AS a national calamity, the death of Abra
ham. Lincoln has no parallel in Ufa hisiory of
our country. The heart grows sick with
horror,. and shrinks - away from the contem
plation of the horrid reality. • It is hard to
realize the fact that there could be found so
dead in sin ; so full of malignant hatred;.so
deserving of damnation's bitterest pains ; so
seeking with. treason'. disgusting slime , 'one,'
so far removed from the imege in which God
created him, and so nearly allied to the arch
Friend himself, as to strike_ at, the life of our
citizen President. So puro was be, so kind, 1
lenient and. forgiving. At the very moment
when his great soul was throbbing with per- '
citlil intention's towards his tenemies, a vile
friend, dressed in the garb ofturnanity, with
the bitternesi of hell in hit' heart, the fire of
a malignant fury in his eye and The weapon
of death in his grasp, approached with the
noiseless, cat like tread of the assassin, and
with the motto of. treason reeking Virginia
'on his lips, sprang upon his unsuspecting
victim, and lett, him weltering in his blood.
He fell to rise no,-more. Ere the morning
sun had kissed the.domes and spires of Wash-.
ington, the bells were Aolling out wild, sad
song of sorrow, and tears • were.failing from
eyes unused' to weep, and why? Ah they
had cause/or mourning there--the President

our hearts. One great sob of anguish burst.
from the nation's millions, and then followed
deep, silent, but expreSsive evidences of 1301-
venal sorrow—sorrow for'the strong staff
broken and the beautiful rod."
It is some consolation to know that, before
he fell, •the . great work - for Which beams on
had called him from the sphere of private life
was accomplished : I mean- the destruction;
of slavery and the crushing out of this great
rebellion. That he was an instrument in the
hand of the Lord for this great purpose, none,
but a skeptic will deny.- Every attendant
circumstance forces .the undid mind to ac
knowledge that God •was witli iiin in his
great - reformatory work, the :Petit:mai regen

the past four years. Examine his official acts

The public life of this great and, good man
furnishes a wide field
.:for. for. profitable Investi

only man who could have steered the Ship of

fOrm is wrapped in its funeral shroud:: It is
hard, without the spirit of Christian resigna
tion,- to say, "Father, Thy will be done!"—
It is hard. very hard; to say, farewell ! ' And
yet, it must be so. Yes, we must lay him'
down in the darkness and silence of the
grave.' But his memory will live,-.though
his body be in the , dust. His tomb will' be
the shrine of many a pilgrimage. Travelers
from other lands will come and gather a
flower or, a sprig and bear it home as a
prized memento - of one who _never had a an
'
perior in the ranks of living patriots.; The
polished shaft.will rise above his ashes. point

no marble to keep his memory from oblivion.'
He will never want a montiment while Amer
ica hat a hiStory. He will never die. His
body may return to the - earth as it• was, but
the glory of his Illustrious' life will lift his
memory from the grasp of death. and immor
talize his name for evermore. History will
crown him with a verdict untarnished by. a'
single stain. She will inscribe his name in
shining characters :on her fairest, brightest

His -fame is now a part and a precious part
of his- country's 'heritage. The people for
whose welfare he lived, labored and died,
will cherish his memory ; they will embalm

avenge his death ? . r - • •
Truly this, wicked rebelliOn has cost, the
Nation much., precious blood and many-preci
ous lives. We have sent our loved ones
forth to fight "for the old banner of our lath
.ers. and many of-- theta. grown weary on the
tearcitb, 'and have laid themselves down to
sleeplerbeneath its stormy folds. We have
watched and waited for their return, but they
have not corms back to the old home yet. ' I
reckon'they never will. They used to start
' foam their pillows when, the reveille was
sounded; but
,now they tio not heed the bu
gles,sormd, nor the tart of the morning drum.
Oh, yes, they have fallen before - the bullets
of treasen's - hosts. But we hope to see them
again, not with the bullet's' scar, on their
face ; not with the crutch 'or wooden leg,
but we expect to see them all. beautiful,
bright and happy,; but where? Not, here—
above in Heaven: This rebellion has 'made
otter-hearts-bleed, but we have borne it 'all.
We have stood by and calmly listened to tree
. sonablelanguage front men in our midst and
before our doors, and we have borne this too.
We have read'colume after colume of disloy
al language . in, disloyal, journals, edited by
disloyal men, and this tor four long years of
sorrow: and suffering': Still
.we: have been
lenient and forgiving. But we will
bear it no longer,, not another _day.
:Had these' men .contented:: themselves with
simply talking treason; perhaps they might
have escapad, but since they perpetrated this
last most horrible crime against an injured
and suffering nation, the long smothered in
dignation has burst the barriers of restraint,
-.and now. woe!_ woe r. to the mate, or that
faction that dares trifle with the wounded
feelings of this people. Let him be forever
"anat./wee moranagia ." I have no language
strong enough, with which to condemn the
alders and abetters ot this cruel and unholy
rebellion. I. cannot speak calmly on this sub
ject. My very soul burns with indignation
while denouncing the men who have made
their hands red with the best blood of this
- nation. What do these traitors deserve at
the bands of the people they have injured
rfhd betrayed? •What, but eternal-execra
tion:.They deserve more than this ; they
deserve to die on a scaffold so elevated that
the carrion crows would tire in flying up to
peck their tainted flesh. It ie time that the
loyal men of this country stand forth and say
to these minions of Davis ct Co: we are
masters, here, and if yon would live among
us in peace,' then_ never breathe another word
of treason,' nor cast one scornful look - upon
that flag,-for if you do, then, by the memory
of our unredressed wrongslyou shall not
dwell in our camp. This is:the tardy course
to pursue, and, .before high heaven, I be-'
-lieve it is the true one. • -
:As I stand hero to-day, in the presence of
this great • sorrow, I feel that .I have lost a
friend - ; and who does not?.l never saw his
face, and .perhaps there are but few in this
house who have ; but still; for all that, we
loved him: There,are, many incidents relat-
I. which illustrate the kindness of that good•
man' heart. One I will give - you. Shortly
I
after Dis re-election to the presidential office,
a.3lr. 'Fitzgerald, editor of .a public journal,
being in NYashisgton, called upon the Presi
dent. He was accompanied by
- his wife and
little daughter. The servant conducted them
to the parlor when they were soon joined by
I. Mr. Lincoln, They had not , been engaged
in conversation long, when a young, weath
,er-beaten soldier entered, and addressing the
President„ said; have :been in 'service
now more than three years ; I have never,
' received a furlough, never having asked for
`one until-today, and iny commander:has re
fused my request. I asked it because my
mother is dying and. I want to see her once
more." While he was speaking the tzars roll
ed down the President's cheek, and going to
a. desk he immediately wrote "R furlough,
gave it the young soldier and said,—"Here,
young man, go home and see your mother."
When he was leaving. the President called
him bark and asked-if he had money to take
nit home. The' young man said he had
not, but could get it from the boys in his
company.. -Mr.' Lincoln immediately gave
him. fifty dollars.- - The young man declined
taking ft; "but," said '3lr. Lincoln, "you are
welcome to it; fate it, it is yours." HO did
take it and went MI his way happy..: !
me, when that "boy in blue". hears.of his
kind benefactor's death,:there will be anoth
er sad heart. and I gneas there will be a tear
dropped to his memory. ' •
• How changed is every thing around us.---

Permit me to ca. your attention now— - •
I.—To :tome of the characteristics of the Fred
dent's "might." - . ,
IL_ pi a feme of the Mesons the event teaches:
Our President was "mighty" because of the.pte ,
sition he occupied.. I knoiv that - there are men ,
who wield the sceptre of authority over there bu- -
man beings—rulers who can inake more heart* to
tremble and quake with fear, than can the Presi
dent of this nation, but none when° ruling is
more powerful, whose. wishes more potential.—
There are potentates at whose beck more souls
may. cringe, bat not more service be exacted •
kings whose subjects are everyone a slave, whilst
we are every one a sovereign. Placed at the heed
of affairs by our- will, the
"servant" becomes a
king, and as such,:every man that breathes the'
free air of our free land, becomes hie" 'slave. He
needs but to ask it, and a million guns are shoul
dered, a finndred thousand swords unsheathed.—
There aro thrones whoseglare and glitter may
dazzle more, but they are founded in blood,• built
upon the broken hearts of a down-trodden hu
manity. Our throne is founded upon the rock of
the people's affections, and, can' never be moved.
It is because of this irreaistlble.power, that is in
herent in the position of the President of this Re-
public, that the potentates ofs,the old world are
eojealous of us. It is because of this, amazing -
might so easily einitrolled, so willingly afforded, .
they look upon us with - distrust.

From the day he left•his home for the chair of .
State until his death, hie history has boon one of
brilliant achievements. No otherilife will so em
bellish the page of idatory with glorietus deeds as
