As most of his little inheritance had vanished, it was necessary for him to interest some one in the scheme who had either capital or a printing oi^ce. The Spirit of the Tidaes was then in its infan- cy. To the office of that paper, where Horace Greeley was then a journeyman, Mr. Sheppard first directed his steps, and tiiere he first unfol...ded his plans and exhibited his calculations. Mr. Greeley^ . was not present on his first entrance. He came in soon after, and began telling in high glee a story he had picked up of old Isaac Hill, who used to read his speeches in the House, and one day brought the wrong speech, and got upon his legs, and half way into a swelling ex- ordium before he discovered his mistake. The narrator told his sto- ry extremely well, taking off the embarrassment of the old gentleman as he gradually came to the knowledge of his misfortune, to the life.
