The Worn-out Font of Type. I'm sitting by my desk George; Before me on the floor There lies n worn-out font of type, Full twenty thousand score. And many months have passed, George, Since they were bright and new, Aud many arc the tales they've told, The false, the strange, the true. "What talcs of horror they have told, Of tempest and of wreck; Of murder iu the midnight hour. Of wars full many a "speck 1" Of ships that lost away at sea Went down before the blast, Of stifled cries of agony As life's that moment past. Of earthquake* ami suicides, Of failing crops of cotton, Of bank defaulters, broken bunks, A tut Imnkin? systems rotten. p ? Of boilers bursting, steamboats snagged, Of riots, duels fought, Of robbers with their prev escaped, Of thieves, their booty caught. Of flood, and fire, and nccidon', Those worn-out types have told, And how the pestilence has swept, The youthful and the old; Of marriages, of births and deaths, Of things to please or vex us, Of one man's jumping overboard, Another gone to Texas. They've told how the sweet Summer days, Have faded from our view, JIow Autumn's chilly winds have swept The leaf-crowned forest through, How Winter's snows hath come and gone? Dark reign of storm and strife? And how the smiling Spring hath wanned The pule flower back to life. T .? .~~.l 4?v montlnr, I.nlf I Vim v ynivuu ?v*? My inkv friends have told Since shining bright and beautiful They issued from the mould? Ilowunto some they joy have brought, To others grief and tears; Yet faithful they the record kept Of fast receeding years. A Curious Story About Mrs. Lincoln Reiterated.?A few days ago a paragraph in the Herald based upon what was known to be good . authority, announced that Mrs. Abraham Lincoln had visited Boston, and # incognito and closely veiled attended a public trance of a well known lady medium oti Washington Street, 011 which occasion the spirit of her lamented husband appeared and by unmistakable demonstrations revealed to all p ese it the identify of Mrs. Lincoln, which she had attempted to keep secret.? We have now the authority for saying that the report was in all respects accurate, that Mrs. Lincoln d'd visit Boston on the -1th instant, that she took lodgings at the Park House, registering her name as Mrs Lindcr; that she remained there ten days, during > i~ C.. ?i,? wnien tunc sue umuu nujiauv uoiu >v <.?v medium above mentioned, and that while at the hotel her identity was discovered by a person who had often seen her in Washington. She desired to have her visit to I>oston unknown, but the injunction of secrecy ecused to tf? binding after the revalations at the public scancr. It is further stated by those who are in a position to know, that the interviews wit h the medium were of the most conclusive and satisfactory nature, as affording! tests of the real presence of the spirit of her husband.?Boston Herald, FcLy. 23, From ihe Chicago Post. How a Wicked Editor Sold the Enlighl-: enod Press of the Country?The Dan- ' ger of not Giving P:Cpor Credit. We of the press are given to kleptomania,' wholesale pastry, the practice of the scisso-1 rean operation, whatever the reader may Lc ! pleased to call it. That is to say, to err is | human in the matter of clipping columns of: matter from our exchanges, and forgetting to give credit therefor. 'J he table-talker himself does not propose to heave brick at his brother editors "to any great extent,' feeling conscious that in the days of his local caicer, when items wore sea c-und the pavements sloppy, he himself has cut whole | columns of local news out of the New York papers, and, changing the streets and names, palmed of the result on an unsuspecting public as city news. But honesty is the best policy, even for a news editor. A few days ago the T,Me Ttilleer, being instigated by the ''devil," who wanted more copy, evolved i from his internal consciousness a eircunistan-1 t al and original anecdote of G. Washington and his d ig, crediting the same to "Barton's Life of Washington," a b< o'c which might have been written, but has not. j he anecdote, though the Table- Talker says it himself, was a good one; ingenuity of the F. of his 0. was displayed in a convincing manner, and 1 fc-likc touch was added, declaring that the dog could never hear its master's voice, after the incident mentioned, without falling into an agony of terror. ri he Table- Talkercau-1 strueted this anectode for the benefit of his i exchanges, who have never been able to find j italic typo enough in their offices for the words C'i.icabo I'ost 11 lit. Sic. The Cincin nati C'sinmcrcia! was (he first to gorge toe hook. It was there that Washington and his Dog?From Pnrton's Life ? f "Washington." Then the Pittsburg papers folio wed. Then the Philadelphia Xvrth Amm'rati g ?bbled it up, inserting J'artou and ignoring the Port. Washington's dog is now having a good time in the eastern press, and, the Table Tall: lias yet hope* cf seeing the anecdote in souie life of Washington, cheek by jewel with the little hatchet with whieh the I F. of his C. could not tell a lie. T :e moral of all of this i '. (hat it is better to credit any good tiling you see in the papers to the 7W than to copy it without any credit. The Longest Speech Ever Made in the World.? The opening argument of the Attorney-General of England, Sir John I). Coloridge, who appears for the defence in the celebrated Tichbornc case, has proved, povhaps. the very longest speech ever heard of. It was begun ou the 14th of January, and at our last accounts it had not been concluded. However, ten days after he began, neither judge nor jury showed any wish to have the distinguished advocate stop speaking. Before proceeding 011 that day, he remarked that certain ingenuous persons who were ignorant of the facts had criticised liitn for mil i-rU riot incr himself fn n rlnv nml n half. But it was necessary, inasmuch as the jury were now to hear for the first time a connected account of the case from its outset, that he should still detain them. This, however, he wrfuld not do one moment longer than was absolutely necessary. Both the Lord Chief Justice and the jury at once expressed the opinion that the Attorney-General had not wasted a single moment siuco he began to speak. - I HAD WAY'S HEADY RELIEF Cures the Worst Pains in from One-to Tcutjj Minutes. * Not one hour after reading this advertisement need any one suffer with pain, Radway's Heady relief is a cure for every puin.
