SHEPHERDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, JUNE


Raise my pillow, husband, dearest
Faint and fainter comes my breath,
And these shadows stealing slowly,
Must, I know, be those of death.
Sit down close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me,
To the borders. Of this land.
For your God and mine--our Father
Then shall ever lead me on
Where upon throne eternal,
Sits His loved and holy Son;
I've had visions and been dreaming
O'er the past of joy and pain,
Year by year I've wandered back,
Till | was child again.
Dreams of girlhood and the moment
When l stood your wife and bride,
How my heart thrilled Loves triumph,
In that hour of woman's pride,
Dreams of thee and all earth's cords
Firmly twined about my heart
Oh. the bitter, burning anguish,
When first knew we must part.
1t has passed and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend
He that's more than friend and brother,
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow Ger the portals,
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal,
And It's lie that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around thee
And its chilling pillows swell;
Thou'lt thank Heaven that | am spared
them,
Thou'lt then feel that 'all is we'll
Bring our boys unto my bedside;
Nv last blessing let them keep
But they're sleeping do not wake them;
They'll soon learn enough to weep,
Tell them often of their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake,
Lead them gently in life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
| Claspm hand still closer darling,
This, the last night of my life;
For tomorrow shall never
Answer when you call me ''wite.'
Fare the well my noble husband,
Faint not meath the Christening rod;
Throw your strong arm around our chill
dren
Keen them close to thee and God.

HEIRS TO MILLIoSs.-Among the pri-
vate fortunes in the possession of the
Bank OF England that are either un-
claimed or in litigation, aud that have
become famous from futile efforts to
find the rightful heirs, is that of the
Sheppard family, which now amounts,
it is said, to between Sl2,000,000 and
sl3,000,000. A meeting Of persons
who claim to be the heirs OF this vast
sum was held at No. 6S, Court street,
Brooklyn, last evening, to hear the re-
port Of Mr.. George William Northedge,
who seems TO have pretty thoroughly
established bis heirsbip, and to have
devoted considerable time TO finding
out other people who are entitled TO a
share OF the estate. There were only
six persons present, two ladies and four
gentlemen, and three of the latter dis
covered at the outset that they did not
spring from the right family Of Shep-
bards. Mr.. Northedge, in the course
of his remarks, stated that his father, in
1851, took some steps TO recover the
money left by mis- ancestors, but, as he
could not find all the heirs, an insur-
mountable obstacle was placed in bis
way. Again, in 1856, female relative
of Mr.. Northedge assumed a similar un-
dertaklng, and was compelled 10 desist
for the same reason. There could be
no doubt that the money was in the
Bank of England, the bank having fire.
quently acknowledged it TO counsel. 1t
had been deposited in the early part Of
this century by Richard, Robert aud
John Shepherd, who lived in or about
the cities of Bath and Wells, in Eng
land. Mr.. Northedge said be was de
scended from Richard through the lat
ter's daughter, Elizabeth, and John and
two others of the family, named Susan
ma and Mary, had also married ard
borne issue The heirs Of the three last
mentioned had yet TO be discovered.
There was no clue to them yet, but if
persons of the mama of Sheppard (Bo
matter how it is spelled) whose ances-
tors come from Somersetshire and Lin.
colnshire, would hunt up their family
histories and communicate, great deal
might be done. None of the money
could be got until the heirs were found.
Mr. Northedge said, in conclusion, that
he had already communicated with
thirty one Shephards in New York and
Brooklyn whose family traditions, CORE
sponded in a greater or less degree with
his own, and he believed that the rec
orjs of the family OF Richard are COM
plete. BY general consent Mr. North
edge was empowered TO continue his
labors, aud call another meeting wher
he has additional information 10 com
municate.

xRw. yoax srr. A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The Empire State Of New York takes
the lead In proposing a new system OF
appointing Presidential electors. A
bill was passed in the Assembly yester.
day providing that hersaiterths two cleo
tors at large shall be voted for by all the
citizens Of the State. but the remainder
shall be elected by Congressional dis.
tricts. precisely the samea ms Representa-
tives are chosen. In no Que State have
the evils Of our present system been
90 manifest as iu New York. That great
commonwealth is entitled to thirty five
electoral votes. OF this number the
city is properly entitled, according to
her representation in Congress. to but
seven. But by voting for allthe thirty
Ave electors all over the State, the ruff.
fans and reporters Of the metropolis
are enabled tn swamp the intelligent
vote Of tho interior. and pass over the
entire college to the man OF their choice.
This was what happened last November.
The Tildeu electors had a majority in
the State Of -. 742. but Mr.. Tilden's
majority In New York city alone was
$500. and outside Of that city Hayes
and Wheeler swept the State by q clean
majority OF 30.2a7. In other words, IL
the system Of voting now suggested had
been In vogue las. November. at least 90
Of the Is electoral votes Of New York
State would have been cast for Hayes
and Wheeler instead OF for Tildsn and
But the tremendous major.
ny Of the Democrats In tho metropolis
the State clean. Us il has often
lone before. and tho citizens Of the
really had no voice whatever in
.he election.
The same election which gave Samuel
J. Tlden q majority Of $4,000 in the
sent II Republicans to Congress
and but iG Democrats. The inference
obvious. The State Of New York is
really Republican. and 10 the Legisla.
lure passes the bill now before It. the
electoral vote Of the commonwealth will
never again be cast for q Democratic
Administration. Other States will do
we'll to follow the lead thus given them.
When electors are appointed like Con.
gressmen there will be no better system
for slecting n President in the world.

now TO KEEP TIMES aooD.

Everything now points to q speedy
return Of good. prosperous times To the
Republic Of the United States. The
balance Of trade has been gradually
turning in our favor for many months.
and to-day We m exporting very much
more than va import. OF course the
excess In the value Of what We sell over
what We buy represents just no much
money which Is flowing into the cosn-
try. This money is being put into active
circulation among tho working classes
BY the manufacturers who receive 1t.
and in q very short time the good old
days, whom every man was happy In
our midst. will BE- upon Us. The com.
ing Of the great struggle in Europe. too,
will tend to hasten the glorious time.
The armies OF the two contending forces
must b fed and clothed ; guns and an
muniton must be provided in extensive
quantities ; and the great bulk OF this
vast trade will fall to the share Of Amer
lean producers aud American manufac-
tursrs. Everything Is in our favor. aud
the only question now Is, after No have
grsspsd the treasure which 10 offered US.
will We have the coed sense to hold fast
TO
Our one great national vice, which
has brought disaster upon us in the
past. and which. IL not abandoned. will
most assuredly PROSTATE Us again in the
future. IL extravaganza. In fush times.
No sooner do We gain an advantage over
other nations and begin TO drain their
money from them. than wo begin to
spend Il with q lavishness amounting to
p~rodigality. Tho coin which We take
from Europe VIC send back again for
Injuries which We do not need. and
which we only purchase to furnish an
excuse for spending money. The result
soon nsnifssts itself in national poverty
and business dsprsssisn. The moment
. nation spends moro than she resolves
that moment hard times begin 10 Cypress
her people; and the great trouble with
this country has been that the moment
money was plenty we have begun to
send IL away. s II we loathsd the very
sight Of It.
The American Republic is the great
natural storehouse from which the
worlds necessities can be supplied.
We produce in this country everything
that We need ourselves. and enough Of
1t to fairly glut the foreign market. II,
now that the dawn is upon us, we Gem
nsnco to act upon n policy Of striel
economy. cling to the money which h
flowing In upon Us. and refuse to be led
into e~Itravagant importations Of luxu'
mes which We do not require. we car
assure ourselves Of prosperity for many
years to coms. II. on the contrary. We
pursus our old.timc course. and spend
our money faster than it comes in. an
other panic will be the result, and VI
shall have nobody but ourselvesto BLAME
for IL.

was decided to remove the remains TO

Lees family got u hint about the re-
moval Of the prisoner. II vas the pur-
pose OF a large number Of his SONS to
attend the execution, and not q few OF
the people ut Panguitch and Long Valley
think that Lee helped the United States
Marshal plan the escape to the Mead
ows, fearing that his son would come
TO tho execution and make a disturb

Of this kind. The family at Panguitch
did not believe that the old man would
