were ONLY twenty-five persons present, the
dinner cost another 81 200. When Mrs.
Harrison was in New York recently, Col.
Shepard and his wife were assiduous in
their attention, and the courtesy was re-
ciprocated during Inauguration week by a
dinner party at the white house. Whatever
may be Col Shepard's merits or dement's
as Journalist, he is the most charming Of
hosts, Chesterfield in courtly grace. and
a friend who was never found wanting.
His home life king mig hit envy. He spends
money with lavish ha nd; and in his edi-
torial chair he is as kind, as agreeable and
paternal to the young men under him as to
one of his spoiled children. He knows
every man i'll hts employ intimately. In a
little book that he keeps in. his coat pocket
he has recorded the name Of every employe
on his paper, his age, the college he gradu-
ated from, his experience, and other infor-
nation about his religion, his family, and
SO forth.
He is polished after dinner speaker, a
good story-teller, believer in good glass
of wine, and the arena of choice cigars
While he is intensely religious he is not big

1t may interest you to know that the ag-
grega'ed Va derbilt fortune is now placed
at $3.50, 100000. The family is the richest in
the world, and it is now indsputably at the
head of social New York. The vast wealth,
the tact, the education, and the good breed
ing of the third and fourth generation have
accomplished their purpose.

IN MEMORY

Of Capt. Alexander MOsely. Young

Late superintendent State Asy'
lUm.
All honor to the noble dead
Who gloriously die
A life of sacrifice he led
Without single sigh.
Thro many battle field he press'd,
Ana many a charge he led,
And royalty he won the crest
Which crowned the yictor's head
His loving, loyal, tender heart
Oft sheltered the forlorn--
The wretched ne'er were bid depart,
But sheltered from the storm.
To live amidst his ,ror7d Of woe,
Where sorrows keenest dart
Rent Memorys veil, cruel foe,
Wrecked life, and loveliest art.
This was his JOY his noble aim,
To lift souls from their DOOM
The glory of a deathless fame
Attends him to the tomb.
His tender word and gentle look
Oft wood the darkened soul
To search the depths of Gods Own Book,
And reach the long sought goal.
Five hundred hearts will mourn his loss
Five hundred hearts with grief be torn.
He lifted tenderly their cross,
They'll hail his resurrection morn.
And thus he lived, and thus he died,
An honor TO his race,
All, God to sit at Thy right side,
And view thy shining face.
