session of The Scraps, and deserted the
sinking Richard, which 16 hours later went
under. The medal which was awarded to
the victor for his bravery, represents on its
face an excellent portrait of Jones in re-
iiof. On the reverse is pictured naval
engagement between two vessels, with the
inscription: ''HostIum navibus capti5 aut
fugatis ad Dram Scotia, % Sept, 1873"
1.-The ships of the enemy having been cap
tured on the coast of Scotland, &C." The
medal was made in Paris under the direc-
ton OF Mr.. Jefferson, who was the Ameri-
can minister there at the time.
UNDER the head of ''A. T. Stewards First
Love-" writer very prettily and interest
ingly gives the following narrative:
About sixty years age, Cornelia Clinch was
one of the prettiest girls sn New York, she and
her brother, who afterwards became collector of
the port, where the children of ship chandler,
who was pretty rich, as wealth was reckoned In
those days. He lived in big house GU Duane
street, then one Of the most fashionable parts
of the city. Old Clinch YVES self made man
and thought every other man ought to be the
architect of his own fortunes. So he frowned
away every wealthy young fop who came to woo
Cornelia, and sent her regularly to school to
learn to be sensible, useful woman. And his
ideas were respected, for he had terrible tenn
per when he was crossed. There is still stand
ing, near Stuyvesant square, little old-fashion-
ed church known as st. Marks. In those days
it was away out of the city in the green fields.
But every Sunday old Clinch went up there with
his pretty daughter. One day young Stewart
saw them. On his side it was clearly case OF
love at first sight. He began attending church
there regularly. Then he made CorneEa's &C
qaaintauoe, and, as he was poor but industrious,
the old man smiled upon him and invited him
to call and take drinks with them. After q
while Stewart asked Cornella very interesting
question, and she, like good girl, blushed and
| said: eyes if papa says so.'' Then Stewart
interviewed old Clinch, and he said: "Want to
marry Nellie, chr Think she's got rich father,
Ell! And you'd like to come in for a share OF
his earnings, ehs'' "No, sir, you needn't leave
her or me cent. I'll soon be richer than you
anyway" vr ~,
| ahead and take her, then, and Heaven bless you
bothp' So the young folks, who were tremen-
dously in love with each other, were married
and went to live in modest little cottage on
Reade street, and were glad to be able to cover
the floors with rag carpet. Old people who
knew them there tell me that they lived an al.
most ideally happy life. They studied each
others happiness in all things, and consulted
with each other about every detail Of household
or business affairs, and became "two souls with
bat single thought good deal mere com
pletelJ than most couples Nowadays
The above statement may all be very
true with the single abatement of the ALE
CATION that Cornelia Clinch, was his first
love. She was not. A young lady
of great intelligence and unim-
peachable purity of character
when Stewart was beginning his career
as a merchant, became his affianced. She
was teacher. The marriage was post
poned till better pecuniary circumstances
should justify welded life. Meanwhile
The afianced bride journeyed to Cleveland,
Ohio, where she had brothers residing, and
there pursued her honorable vocation as
teacher. The lovers regularly correspond
ed for some time. Occasionally present,
token of love, would reach she expectant
bride, from New York. At length the
correspondence slackened and finally the
young merchant, in his growing prospect
ty ceased to write to his afianced, altogeth-
or. Her hopes were blighted. All her
fond expectations of future life were
changed. She lived on with her relatives
devoted to domestio duties, with courage
and christian fortitude that kept back
despair though the vel. gas never lifted
from her clouded life. The young mer-
chant prospered, and twas married, prob
ably to "Cornelia." He had the littleness
and meanness to send to his discarded
afianced at Cleveland, costly present,
which was promptly refused and returned,
if not with indignation and resentment,
with a calm,scornful dignity that we'll be-
come the high character of the injured,
discarded basely deserted girl. She lived
on e few years and at last sank quietly to
her last, her long repose, and sleeps in an
obscure, perhaps, forgotten Cleveland
grave. The ''great merchant" plunged
deeper and deeper into business and illus
trated a splendid career as ths world
counts splendid At last, sordid and
wretched, broken in spirit, and emptied of
earthly opulence he went childess to his
grave. But his poor remains we're not
permitted undisiurbed sepulture, and
where his worthless body is, remains an
impenetrable mystery. What a COM
mentary history, on the impossibility of
human accommodations to bring true
peace of mind, or actual or permanent
honor. For what manly virtue is A. T.
Stewart remembered? Let those in the
light of Peter Cooper's honored fame, an
swer, who can. He sent his ''frst love-"
blighted and sorrowing to her early grave.
Can it be doubted, that
corroding pang narrowed up his secret
life, as he remembered his base and felse
treatment, of true, loving, faithful, trust
ing female heart. His great wealth is al
ready being scattered and disintegrated, his
immense mercantile establishment
has already gone out of sight,
and few yegfs hence, A. T.
Stewart will be remembered for no
virtue, for 10 disinterested act of benovo-
lence. but only as an exceptional success
ful accumulation of sarth's perIshable gill
ded acquisitions.
''Much learning shows how little msrtals
know;
Much wealth how little worldlings can
enjoy.
Observation-Disclosures, heap on heap, for what:
To breed new wants, and beggar US the
more.''
The True Test.

after meal, he is a dyspeptic, it shows his
