Daniel Gray.
BY Dh j. q, HOLLAND.

In all Of tho late Or, Hollands writings, we
know OF nothing which equals In pathoS ana
tenderness the following beautiful poem, ana
its value is enhanced when II Ia known that
the author describes his own father III "oid
Daniel Gray"
If | shall ever win the home In heaven,
For whose sweet rest humDy pray,
In the great company OF the forgiven,
shall be sure to lind old Daniel Gray.
Old Daniel Gray was not man who lifted
On ready words his weight of gratitude,
And was not called among the gifted,
In the prnyer-meeting of his noighborhood.
He had few old-fashionod words and phrases,
Linked In with sacred texts and Sunday
rhymes,
And suppose that In his prayers and graces
I've heard them NJ least IA thousand times.
see him now-hs form, his face, his motions,
His homespun habit and his silver hair,
And hear the language Of his trte deyotions,
Rising behind the straightforward kitchen
chair.
can remember how the sentence sounded
Help us, o Lord, 20 pray and not to faint,
And how the "conquering and to conquer
The loftier aspirations OF the saint
He had some notions that did not improve him.
He never kissed his chdren-so they say.
And finest scenes and fairest flowers would
move him,
Less than horseshoe picked up on the way.
He had hearty hatred Of oppression,
And righteous word for sin OF amy KIND;
Alas that the transgressor and transgression
Were linked together in his honest mind
He could see naught but vanity in beauty,
And naught but weakness in Il fond caress,
And ptied men whose views OF Christian duty
Allowed indulgence in such foolishness.
Yet there were love and tenderness within
him,
And AIN told that when his Charley died,
Nor natures need nor gentle words could win
him,
From his fond vigils at the sleepcr's side.
And when they came TO bury little Charley,
They found fresh dew-drops sprinkled in his
And on his breast rosebud gathered early,
And guessed, but did not know, who put 1t
there.
Honest and faithful consistent in his calling
Strictly attendant on the means of grace,
Instant In prayer, and fearful most of failing,
Old Daniel Gray was always in his place.
practical old man and yet dreamer,
He thought in some strange, unlooked-for
way,
His mighty Friend in Heaven, the great Re
deemer,
Would honor him with wealth some golden
day.
This dream he carried In hopeful spirit,
Until in death his patient eye grew dim,
And his Redeemer called him to inherit
The heaven of wealth long gathered up for
him.
So if ever win the home in heaven,
For whose sweet rest l humbly hope and
pray
In the great company of the forgiven,
i shall be sure 10 find old Daniel Gray.

A Selfish General,

One night in the spring of so, Gen.
Richardson, who then commanded a
brigade took it into his head to inspect
the picket line. Coming upon q re-
served picket Of about thirty men I'M
der command of a Captain of the I'd
Michigan infantry, the General saw fit
TO interrogate as follows:
Captain, in case of an alarm by the
advance picket, what would you dop'
"Send off a reinforcement at once.h
"And if the firing continued"

der of my force"
"And suppose whole company of
the enemy should press forwardp'
"We'd whip them"
"But if it was regimentp'
"rd form line of battle and check
them until i sent back and got orders
TO charge and capture the whole lot"
"Wcll, suppose brigade should move
down on you in battle liner"
"rd order charge, split the col
umn in two, and whip both halves in
detail"
AT midnight the brave Captain was
relieved from further duty on picket.
He was very indignant and considera-
bly, puzzled, but, after thinking the
matter over for q while, no said to

ament made the further holding of
his position intolerable, and be re-
tired to journalistic and private
life, only emerging to ac-
cept the position of Gen.
tennial Commissioner abroad.
While resident In England,
his letters from that country were
charming and enjoyable in the ex-
treme. He was an immense social
favorite in the mother country.
The deceased journalist never
could be brought to care for those
"rascal counters" which Iago val.
ued so highly; and, consequently,
during his later years, he became
greatly embarrassed in his pecu-
MARY affairs. He SUCCESSFULLY sold
his Washington ana Philadelphia
dailies. A few years ago he started
weekly paper called Progress,
which he filled with the copious
"reminiscences, political, literary
and personal, With which his re-
tentive memory was so well stored.
When Gen. Hancock was nomi-
mated for President, Col. Forney
advocated his election with enthu-
siasm. In his old days he returned
to his first love, and became a thor.
ough Democrat.
Col. Forney personally was a
king amongst men. He came out
to Southern California with Col.
Tom Scott in 1872, in the prosecu-
ton of the latter's Texas Pacific
plans, and it is doubtful if, on this
continent or in the world, two
hsndsomer or more kingly-leokiDg
men could be found. The dead
journalist was great believer in
this section. The writer had the
honor of personal acquaintance
with Col. Forney; and, when we
met him in San Diego, he warmly
counseIed US to cast in our fortunes
with this section, which he regard
ed as the most promising OF imme-
diate and prolific development on
the American continent He then
did not see the malign shadow Of
the panic started in September
of the following year, but We were
and are now convinced that he was
right in his views of the future of
Southern California.
To young and struggling mem.
bsrs of his own guild, Col. Forney
was Kindness aud encouragement
personified. He was always ready
to lend helping hapa to those
who needed the stimulus of his
wise and mature counseis. His
heart distilled the pure milk of
human kindness. In closing our
notice of him, We feel like re-
echoing the words of Queen Kath-
arine, "May his virtues be written
ia brass, his frailties traced In
water"
