President Harrison Charge.

Many OF our old readers can recall
the gloom cast over the nation 10y the
death of President Harrison. He was
the first President who had died In Office
His administration had endured but
"one little month.
II was reported that he had been
killed by the hordes OF politicians who
beset him day and night, clamoring to-
offices. His successor, Vice Pr siden,
TYLER. was unknown to the country, ans.
there were many fears that the Wings
would not gather the fruits OF their great
political victory.
Newspapers appeared in mourning
lines. churches and public buildings
were draped with embelns OF woe, anu
clergvner preached funeral discoGrses.
1t was day Of great mourning In the
nation.
The report that the politicians hat
killed the President had basis of fact
The opportunities had so overtaAed bi

He was an early riser, aud used to G

stormy, but the President would II
wear fn oyercoat. One morning he WI,
wet by shower, but refused to chang
his clothes. Pneumonia seized him tin
next day. !.
