Ti,e Sorrows of Presidents wives.

~~SANsN
The misfortunes OF women who have
been the wive Of our late presidents are
Remarkable. Mrs Harrison. Mrs. Tay-
hf, Mrs. Lincoln, AMI Mrs Garfield al
became widows while at the White
H ,use, the last two under the most ter
rih.e circumstances The frat Mrs
TYLER died while her husband was
president, and the second Mrs. Ter,
Who is now living at Georgetown, D. G.
was comnelled 10 ask congress for pen
sion 10 1873. BA- President John Tyler
died at Hichmond in January, 1852, and
his property was DESTROYED by the war.
Mrs. Jane, K Polk, who is yet livi ~

bad fortune left her aud has long en-
F,yed the society OF rare circle OF de-
voted friends, the last days Of her life
hsse keen much enbitiered bv the dis
graceful deialcation and subsequent i'm
priscfment OF her nephew, who was
state treasurer OF Tennessee. Mrs. Ty.
Ter was not only a second wife, but mar
ried at the age OF Is. She is the onl,
presidential wife who bat the honor of
giving wedding reception at the White

The misfortunes OF Mrs. L ncoln and
Mrs. Garfield ere we'll known 10 ell OF
the worli. Mrs, Lincoln survived her
husband dozen years or more, but sise
never survived the shock that his death
gave her, and the latter davs Of her life
we're clouded ny disordered mind
Few and far between we're the happy
moments that fell, to her lot from The
turbulent hour thst her husband hecame
president
The story OF Mrs. Andrew johnson
is almost as pathetic, hut it is not SO well
known. She was nearly 80 years old
when her husband became president, and
hsd been married over forty years. She
was almost as little kno ~n at Washing
ton during the presidential career OF Az
drew johnson as il she had not lived at
oil, and the American people knew lees
sbeut her than of the wives OF any Of
the chief executives OF their country
She died in 1876, six months after her
husband.
