Some twenty years ago 1 he came from lis home in the South west to seek fortune here, and secured a clerkship with II. 3. CIadin (, Co. He was bright and capaylc, and made his way rapidly. The Central Park ! Baptist Church became his religious home, and nono of the young men in the congregation were more active than be in the sunday school and weekly meeting. Among the ladies Of the church he was a great beau. It vas at church sociable that ne met "Wallio" Glover, the pretty daughter Of 9 prosperous live stock dealer, who ia due time became his wife. Mean while he had been placed in charge of the Custom house department at Clafin's, and his salary had been raised to $5,000 a year. After his marriage he went into partnership with Thomas Vandyke, another son in-law of Gloyer's. and opened big bazaar at Third avenue and Eighty third street. Borrowing money right and left he made q tremendous splUrge. 1 He bought a fine house, with stable attached; lived in style, dressed his wife expensiyely, drove fast horses and had hyeried foolmen. The in- eYitaJle crash came, a,pd house and bazaar were swept away in an hour, I Clamorous creditors were left in the lurch. Glover was so embarrassed by the loans he had made to his sou-in- L,w that he failed, and Downs ivlt lis Hife and i've children and went to parts unEnowu.

They called it "pl,tting on airs" when, in fact. it was their own ignorance of the social ne cessities of the occasion that was at fault But the prov.noial young ladies evidently believed in hand shaking as part Of the code of man ners.
