ALL GONE BUT ONE.—We copied a
statement from the Cincinnati Gazette,
a few days ago, that seven young men of
that city, 21 years old, agreed to have an
annual meeting and supper so long as
any of their number should survive, and
also stated that only two of them were
then living. Henry L. Tatem, esq., one
of the two, died on Thursday last, leaving
Dr. J. L. Vattier as the last man of the
whole party. The next annual supper
takes place in October, and the Gazette
remarks:
How awful that last supper when the
sole survivor enters the room, and sees
there the seven plates and the seven
chairs, each of which tells him "what
shadows we are; what shadows we pursue."
