II was IN his mind constantly but ne
believed that an ex-presidont should !
observe the same propneties Of speech |
which are observed by a president OF
the United States. He was az all times
careful TO cay nothing which could be
misconstrued or twisted into a seeming
disregard for the dignity Of the high
Clice which he once held.
His sympathy For the Beers.
In his semi-conscious condition. when
the sentinels of discretion and pro-
pricty had gone from their posts, and
the mind of the man was wandering,
he began TO speak Of the Beers and
their hopeless struggle for national life.
Ills voice was weak and trembling,
his thoughts were not connected but
the listeners bending over him could
hear words Of pity for the dying farm
or republics.
