But the glamor of his distinguished personality, and above all of his a station, must have entranced her. She gave every evidence throughout the remainder of his life of a deep and lasting affection for him. Particularly after her father was killed by the explosion of a gun while a party of distinguished guests were being entertained aboard the steamer Princeton did the president's suit progress.

He advised caution, telling the president that he was past middle age and the damsel might, though now dazzled by his office, tire of him. But Tyler pooh-poohed his objections, declared he was in the prime of life, and insisted on carrying through his suit.
