David Atchison az president.

The Atlanta C0aStitution, in answer to a
correspondent, says; Senator Atchison of
Missouri was President pro TEN of the
Senate March 4, 1858, when Franklin
Pierce succeeded Millard Fillmore as
President of the United States. In that
year March came on Sunday, so that
Fillmores term expired at 12 o'clock
noon of that day, while Pierce was not
inaugurated till l2 o'clock the next day.
1t is claimed that during this interval OF
one day Atchison was acting President of
the United States. OF course, strictly

The wild world hastens on its way;
The gray-haired century nears its close;
It's sorrow deepens day by day;
The Summer blush torsakcs the rose.
But, darling, while your voice | hear,
And while your dark-brown eyes / see,
Sad months and sunless, seasons drCar,
Are all the same, all glad, TO me.
Despair can never reach me
While your soft hand hold;
While your eyes love and teach mel
Inever shah grow old,
They say that love forsakes the old;
That passion pales and fades away;
That even loves bright locks of gold
Must loose their charm and change to
gray.
But, darling, while your heart is mine,
And while | feel that YOU are true,
For me the skies will ever shine
With Summer light and tenderest blue.
Yes, let old age deride me,
Iscorn his moCkiug tongue.
Dear love, with YOU beside me,
am forever young,
