of the 11th inst contains his photo and

the youth OF today would call a young
man, having passed somewhat beyond
the half century line, nor was he what
our best writers call old. Had he been
blest with robust constitution he prob
ably had the intellect to attain to
heights OF great note in journalism.
But like others OF the human family he
was the creature of circumstances and
they We're against him; and what is
fame anyway? He did as best he knew
under adverse circumstances and that
is better than mere fame. Where are
the famous people Of ages past? Let
this extract from his favorite poem
reply:
"The hand of the king that the sceptre hath
borne;
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath
worn;
The eye of the sage and the heart OF the
brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths OF the
grave,
The leaves OF the oak and the willow shall
fade,
BE scattered around and together he laid
And the young and the old and the low and
the high,
Shall mouder TO dust and together shall lie

is restfor the weary.
