q livelihood for himself and
mother. nj. father having died when he
va. too years Of sge, was by driving
mule on the tow.ps,h Of the ONO '"n
PENNSYLVANIA canal. But the yearn'ns'
of an uudeveioped though vigorous intel

Ain, Of great self-denial and erertion he
va. able to obtain sufficient prepara.
zion to enter Hiram College. Hard and
dilisent study enabled him in lev years
to graduate, and subsequently, to ascend 10
the Presidency Ct the Institution he had 50
lately entered a poor. struggling BOY
Next we see him elevated by his ne'ghoor'
and friends to the Ohio Legislature sunse'
auently as a distinguished officer IN the
army; an honored member OF the Lower
House Of Congress for eighteen year.; elect
ed 10 the u. s. Senate, and then 10 'he
presideucy-sll before he had turned the
fnieth mile-post in the journey OF nie.
Entering the Presidency, he takes bold
.tsnd upon the eternal principles OF 'he
Constitution, and his every action showed
his intention Of administering the analfs
af Government 80 a. to rebound to the
welfare ofthe whole people. The osnntry IS
nj peace at home and abroad, aud general
feeling Of goodwill is pervading every
section, when, without cause or excuse he
ia made the target Of vile assassin, and
the great and good man falls fatally
wounded. The whole land is shocked, ana
execrstions fall on the despicsble wretch
alike from friends and polit'cai
enemies. For nearly eighty days the
President waivers between life and DEATH
suffering untold agony, yet mnrmnrlhg
not. till death relieves him and allows his
ooble spirit 10 soar to its reward. The
people had somewhat prepared for the in

NOR their indignation less intense than II
the cowardly shot had produced immediate
fatal results. Thoy mourn with the ATTN

In the zenith Of his glory. Regrets, deep
and lasting regrets, cluster around his bier

IL is sad, mournful day, but, Is the
hslo,sd President himself said TO the
excited, maddened mob that gathered IN
New YorK after the assassination OF rfesi'

men, q. Washington still lives" A severe
blow has been made at our Republican
form Of Government, hut there will he nc
interruption Of its affairs. Arthur was
svorn in as President almost before the
lev fingers Of death had settled over the
body Of Garfield, and there will be nc
interregnum, as In the cases OF murdered
Kings and other potentates. Let the new
President learn Of his predecessor, and 80
shape his administration as to carry ou'
the great reforms that have been started
Monday the body OF James A. Gafheid
will be laid in its last resting pace wei
with the tears Of q sorrowing nation. The
mortal part will be hid from view but MS
