its deck into the North river. Several
months afterward, his body rose to the
surface, and foated ashore, where it
was discovered and recognized and it
was taken to his home at Ogdensburgh,
and buried.
The good old man who was steward
at the White House then, and whose
face was so familiar to so many-he too
is dead. He was followed to his grave
by sincere mourners, among whom
were the President and his family.
When we recall all these, and we
think of Old Abe, and of his darling
little son Willie, who yielded up his
young spirit in that house-and we see
the great crowd surging in and out of
