MY STORY, MARM?
DEATH OF PRESIDENTS.
NEW ADVERTISEENTS.
j story, marm? Well, really, now, I
have not much to say;
Cat if you'd called a year ago and thtn
again to-day,
Ko need of words to tell you, marm, for
your own eyes could see
How much the Teuiperence Cause has done
i for my dear John and me.
A year ago we hadn't flour to make a batch
of bread,
And many a night these little ones went
supperless to bed;
"jw look into the larder, marm, there's
J sugar, flour, and tea;
od that is what the Temperance Cause has
I done lor John and me.
The pail that holds the butter, John used
4 to fill with beer;
Bat he hasn't spent a cent for drink for two
. t months and a year;
He pays his debts, is strong and well as
I any man can be;
' And that is what the Temperance Cuase
; has done for John and me.
He used to soeak along the streets, feeling
f so mean and low,
And he didn't like to meet the folks he
used to know;
But now he looks them in the fuce, and
' steps off bold and free;
And this is what the Temperance Cause
A has done for John and me.
' .K year ago these little boys went strolling
f through the streets,
With scarcely clothing on their backs, and
i and nothing on their feet;
Sut now they've shoes and stockings and
I garments as you see;
VAnd that is what the Temperance Cause
1 has done f r John and me.
iThcchildren were afraid of him his com
t ing stopped their play;
But now when supper time is o'er, aud the
table cleared away,
. The boys all frolic around his chair, the
baby climbs his knee;
i And this is what the Temperance Cause has
f done for John and me.
I Ah, those sad days are o'er of sorrow and
I of pain;
I The children have their father back, and I
1 m John again!
1 1 pray excuse my weeping, marm they're
! tears of joys, to see
! How much the Temperance Cnnse has done
I for my dear John and me.
Each morning, when he goes to work, I
upward look auu sy:
"Oh, Heavenly Father, help dear John to
V keep his pledge to-day?"
I And every night, before I sleep, thank God
, on bended knee
U For what the Temperance Cause has done
for my dear John and me.
JOHN HOWARD PAYNE.
THE AUTHOR OF "HOME SWEET HOME"
A JILTED LOVEll HIS LOVE LETTER.
"Madame: Idid for a long time in
dulge in the fallacious hope that fortune
would have favorud and placed me in
more suitable situation for making this
communicatiun to you. I have un
fortunately been disappointed and have
endeavored to calm my feelings and sum
nut to my tate, yet the more I have
striven to do so the more have I been
convinced that it would be useless for me
to any longer attempt to strugg'e with
the sentimeuts I feel toward you. Iam
conscious of my own un worthiness of the
boon I desire from you, and cannot, dare
not, ask you to give a decisive answer in
my favor now, nnly purmit me to hope
that at some future tirno I may have the
happiness of believing my aff ection re
turned Dut at the same time 1 conjure
you to remember in nvtkiug up your
decision that it is in your power to ren
dcr me happy or miserable. Having
frequently through the kind permission
ot your honored parents the pleasure ol
your society, 1 every day liud it more
necessary to come to some conclusion to
my future conduct, for when I was obli
ed to leave you, it was uuly to renew th
agitated state of my mind and to contem
plate the image of one toj dear to me to
resign forever, without making an effort
I was unequalled to when in your pre
seuce. You will p-jrhipi tell me this is
persumptioa on my part, and true u
I have nothing to offer you but a devot
ed heart and hand; however, be assured
madamo, whatever your decision may be
present wishes tor your happiness sn
welfare shall be the first of heart. I have
felt it essential to my peace of mind that
I should inform you of tho state of my
feelings, satisfied that and your amiable
ness of heart will plead my excuse
entreat you to reply to this letter if bu
one word; indeed, I am sure if you kne
now anxious J HUall await vour answer,
compaiun al n: woutJ induce you
. . 1 l ail
ena me an cany answer. Allow me
madrae, tn suhwita myself your very
numble and devoid admirer.

CAUSES OP THE DECEASE OP THE CHIEF
EXECUTIVES OF THE UNITED STATES,
George Washington His death was
the result of a severe cold contracted
while riding around his farm in a rain
and sleet storm Dec. 10, 1799. The cold
increased and was followed by a chill,
which brought on acute laryngitis. His
eath occurred December 14, 1799. Ho
was 68 years of age.
John Adams lie died from old age,
avins reached ins mst milestone.
Though active mentally, he was nearly
blind, and unable to hold a pen steadily
enough to write, lie passed away with
out pain July 4, 1826.
Thomas Jefferson He died nt the age
of 83, a few hours before Adams, July
1826. His disease was chronio diar
rhoea, superinduced by old age, and, his
physician said, the too free uso of the
waters of the White Sulphur Springs.
James Madison He, too, died of old
age, and peacefully, July 28th, 1836.
His faculties were undimmed to the last.
He was 8").
James Monroe At the time of his
death, which occurred in the 73rd year
of his age, July 4,lS31.it was assigned to
uo other cause than enfeebled health.
John Quincy Adams He was strick
en with paralysis Feb. 21, 1848, while
addressing the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, being at the time a mem
bcr of Congress. He died in the rotunda
of the Capitol. He was 81 years of
age-
Andrew Jackson He died Juno 8,
1845, 78 years old. He suffered from
consumption, and finally dropsy which
made its appearance about six months
before his death.
Martin Van Burcn He died July 24,
1862, from a violent attack of asthma,
followed by catarrhal affection of the
throat and lungs. He was 80 years of
age.
William Henry Harrison The cause
of his death was pleurisy, the result of a
cold which he caught on the day of his
inauguration This was accompanied
with severe diarrhoea, which would not
yield to medical treatment. His death
occurred April 4, 1841, a month after
his inauguration. He was 63 years of
age.
John Tyler He died January 17
1862, at the age of 72. I have been un
able to ascertain the cause of his death.

cholera while on a boat coin? up the
Mississippi river. Though temporarily
relieved, be had a relapse on his return
home and died Juuo 15, 1849, aged 54
years.

Presidout to die in office. He is said to
have partaken immoderately of ice watir
and iced milk, and then later of a largi
quantity ot cherries. 1 he result was an
attack of cholera morbus. Another au
thority attributes bis death to a severe
