Vanderbilt.

The wealth OF the Vanderbilt family
has been variOusly estimated, and the
reticence of the commodore himself
has admitted of little else than mere
conjecture on this point. There Is a
general opinion, however, among those
who are in a position to Judge most cor
rectly that the wealth vested in Com
modore Vanderbilt exceeds one hun
drcd millions Of dollars, and a prOmi-
nent member of the family recently
said that the "old man" was worth more
than that sum. This vast fortune was
acquired by Cornelius Vanderbilt
through his own efforts, starting early
in Life without capital or influence, His
parents were poor, and his first money
was earned in conveying people TO and
fro in a row-boat between New York
and Staten Island. He made a large
amount of money IN steamboating, but
the great bulk of his wealth has been
acquired in railroad combinations and
in the manipulation of railroad stocks.
He is and has been all his life a very
remarkable man. His self-reliance and
pluck are as natural with him as draw
ing breath, and his will and purpose in
domitabIe. A man of such tremendous
mental force has be been that he has
moved forward to the accomplishment
Of his objects with a power Rs irresisti-
BILE as one of his steamboats,. His one
purpose in life has been the acquisition
Of money. To this end he has trained
his mental and physical resources with
the greatest care. He has made of
himself a machine that has always
obeyed the requirements of his intel
lect, and wherever he has struck it has
been with telling force and effect. He
has always drank moderately and lived
regularly, taking just the requisite
amount of exercise always. Smoking
and whist-playing are the only indul-
gences which he has permitted him
self to any considerable degree. Every
day he Is TO be seen driving on the road
with a stump Of q cigar between his
teeth, and until within a year past he
has had every evening some OF his GRO
MES. IN for a rubber at whist and to
talk horse, a subject at which he never
tires. Latteriy, however, his evenings
have been passed very quietly. He has
always been a strict man of business,
kept his own counsel, and admitted OF
known no partners. He never allows
the plea of affection or charity to IN
terfere with his business matters. Ap.
peals to his sympathy have about as
much effect as a straw forced under the
wheels of q locomotive. He has beer
well, active and in the harness all his
life, and has never tired or weakened

UNENDENG.

There Is an end to kisses and to signs,
There is an end tC laughter ead to tears;
An end to fair things that delight our eyes,
An end to pleasant sounds that charm cur ears;
An end to enmity'| foul lbeliUg,
And to the gracious praise of tender friends;
There is an end to all but ons sweet thing
To love there is no end.
That warrior carved empire with his sword
The empire now is but like him-a name;
That statesman spoke, and By burning word
Kindled a nations heart into fisme;
Now DEught is left but ashes and we bring
Our homage to new men. to them we bend;
There Is end 10 all bat one sweet thing
To love there Is no end.
All beauty fades away, or else, alas
Mems eyes grew dim and they no beauty see:
The glorious shows of nature pass and pass,
Quickly they come, as quickly do they fee;
And he who hears the voice Of welcoming
Hears next the slow, sad farewell of his friend;
There is an end TO all save one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
And for ourselyes-our father, whera is he?
Gone, and memory alone remains;
There is no refuge a mothers knee
For US, brown, old, and sad with cares and pains
BrOtherless. sisterless, way we wend
To Deaths dark house. from which we shall not rove
And so we cease yet one thing hath no end
There is no end to love.

The Cow hide.
The Tables Turned
Tit for Tat.

On Tuesday, about , o'clock, quite a
lively encounter took place between we'll
known sporting man and dealer in obi
valves" it appears that the evening before
they had a difficulty, in which the dealer
came out second best. Not liking this state
of affairs to remain thus, on the above day
and hour the bivalvar bought the longest
sort Of a rawhide, and taking his stand on
ST. Charles street, near the corner of Com
mon, watched faithfully until he espied the
trim and neat figure Of the little sport i'll
front of No II st. Charles street.
Walking up to his man he drew his COW
hide and commenced a lively tattoo upon
the back of his little victim. The sport not
being able to appreciate the joke, threw him
self into position, and Selling his antagon
list, a lively set-to ensned, in which the lat
ter succeeded in wrestling the cowhide from
his antagonist and thinking thattnrn about
was play, waded into The affections Of the
" bivalvular gentleman. until both being
tired out from their cXertions, they came to
a mutual agreeixrnt that there was not
much fun in that sort Of sport. and thus
ended the afiray. Neither of the gentlemen
were much injured, 50 they merely smiled "
over the little performance; and .'still they
are not happy
