"l will now narrate an incident that hap-
pened IN the family of Stephen Shewell, which
has never been published, at least in an au-

"My grandfather, Joseph Snewell, (son. IN

10 Philadelphia, more than a century. ago.
They were wealthy, but lost much of their
property during the war of the revolution by
the capture of their vessels by the EngIsh.--
Stephen Shewell was proud, imperious man,
OF strOng passions, a warm friend, and an i'm.
placahle enemy. His wife, daugeter of Cap.
tain FOrdham, was descendant OF the Buckley
family. Stephen Shewell had two sisters, one
OF whom marrhd Abraham B ckley; the other

LIF e.

Life isa warfare And the little child
That sleeps soawestly on its mothers breast
Is but tue index Of the future man
That is To struggle in the fight.
The carsIess soy. upon whose head
His arsnts hands SO lovingly are laid,
Dreams no. of the great part he has to act
In life's great drama.
His chIldhood's hours are past,
And on his brow tie seal Of manhood sits,
His armor gIrded on by strength;
He bears aIolt the banner Of his cause
And engages in the contest.
Months and wears roll ON
And O. 'er his head the SHOWS Of age
Their fakes have thIckly scattered.
Ills form is bent with its heavy weight of years,
His mind has lest It's vlgor, his eye liza fire.
And no but waits for IN 1t dread summons
Which calls him from his battle field away.
At last it comssl
And that proud form which like tower ofstrength
So bravsly STOOD up the active siIife.
