The Last Moments OF Charles wv.
Of Sweden.

King should die?n We think the
faithful description Of his Majesty's
death, which has been lately given to
the world IN the SyasreaSia D0ybiGtlet

King was borne along in his chair
through the crowd at the quay, the
kindly Swedish folks manifested so
much

well knew he must die, and had long
and calm conversations about tie fil-
ture of his realm but the end was
not thought to be 30 near until sud

the King. "YoT Majesty must even
be prepared for that however, it may
happen more easily, for deaths work

and then desired to take leave of those
