Elliott F. Shepard in making his journal, the Mail and Express, a nomi-rellglons one, and the daily ins Bertion of a scriptural text over the editorial column. Col. Shepard rath¬ er prides himself on his consistency, ns although a large stockholder in the Fifth avenue line, he strenu¬ ously opposed tho running of tho vehicles on Sunday, an evidence of his deep religious feeling and his dis¬ regard of Mammon when Christian principals arc conccrnad. The fol¬ lowing is a faithful report of n con¬ versation between two ladies that was overbeared in one of Col Shep ard’s own stages, which throws a somewhat new light on his cliarac tar: “I should thin!- it would be awful¬ ly nice to ride down on these stages on Sunday and see tho styles on Fifth avenue.” “Yds, but Col Shepard don’t like to have the stages run on Sunday. Tie thinks it’s wicked.” “Col. Shepard—who is lie?” “He is the president of this stage line, the son-in-law of Mr. Vander¬ bilt, and tbo pious editor of the Mail and Express. lie heads all his edi¬ torial pages with a Scriptural text,*’ “Is his name Elliott?” “Yos.” “Then I know all about him. You must listen carefully, for its a great secret. IIo once loved Alma, our seamstress!” ‘ Ob, no!" “But it is true. It was ages ago, before he knew Mis3 Vanderbilt, when he was very young, and they lived out our way, and one wasn’t any richer or better than tho other. He used io write her the loveliest li'tle love letters—so good and inno¬ cent. I know, for I’ve seen them. Well ho loved and wrote and she oved and wrote, and theyboth grew up—alas to part! He came to the city,-—was famous in his way—mar¬ ried the richest heiress to be found, experienced religion, and became editor of a newspaper, and friend, ihilosoplier and guide of Chaunccy M* Depew.” “And she?” “She married a New Jersey man— a shiftless fellow, who failed to sup¬ port her or his children, and Alma had to sew for a living, 'Vben times were hard she was obliged to look both ways and all ways to make the ‘two ends meet.” “One day, when there was a big space between thhse same two ends sbe thought she’d go and see her rich old old lover and sec if he could help her. “I’d like to have seen Col. Shep¬ pard’s face as that demure little faded-out old woman walked into his big office. Sbe sent word that a lady and old triend from his early borne wished to see him. “Was he kind, Alma?” 1 asked her on her return “Yes. miss, but sort o’ grand like He looked as if he kind o’ wondered who I was. So I made a bow and said, I’m Alma!’ “Alma! Alma! Who?” “Why your little playmate and sweet heart. I’ve brought you a let¬ I ter yot. wrote to me when we were both young and you loved me. See | M . rc 's your naoMi down to tbe bottom Elliott F. ibepard. took NO. 28 road it through, and then ho seemed puzzled. Finally he said: “I remember you now. This little letter is very interesting to me. I want to take it home and show it .to Mrs Shepard, She trill be pleased to see it.,* “Did you let him have it, Alina?” “Yes, miss; wasn’t I right, miss? “I suppose so, but 1 must say it way cute in him. lie was not anxious to see his .name, oven in boyish writ¬ ing, in the possession of a poor sew¬ ing woman.” “What else did he say, Alma?” “IIo asked if I were married and happy, and when I said I was unhap¬ py and poor he said he was sony. He told me very kindly that he’d liked to have hoard good news from me. Then he got up, and I got up, and he showed me to the office door, and that was all.” “Did ho «rivc the poor woman any¬ thing?” “No; not even a pass to ndo lus stages, and ho forgot to quote the Bible and toll her; The Lord will provide. Trust in him!” “Did she ever got her letter back?” •‘No; but she has more letters, and when I get homo I will borrow them and we will have lots of fun reading them. We will boo how much scripture he quoted in his love letters. We might find them interesting, as might the former Miss Vanderbilt-” Here tho stage reached Central park, and tho two ladies alighted.
