on the Life of the President.

Attempt on the Life of the President.
At Buffalo last Friday while the President
was giving reception, Pole whose name
we cannot pronounce. fred two pistol shots at
Mr.. Mckinley. One Of the shots inflicted a
serious wound in the abdomen, from which 1t
was feared that he would die. But last &C.
counts give reason to hope that he will live.
His pure life, his incorruptable Off cial
career, and the broad lives upon which he has
administered the affairs of the government
make him perhaps the most beloved ruler in
the world. Good men everywhere love him
and deplore the attack upon his life. The
prayers Of Christian people in this and other
lands have gone TO the throne OF Grace in his
behalf.
He is still in Buffalo, and will not be able to
be moved for several weeks.
