A.'Bcott, Nowberry. H.? W. Lawson, Abbeville. . Wliat la a. Xcvvupapri ! To the question from u child, "What is a newspaper?" tho Dublin General Advertiser gives the following reply: Organs that gentlemen play To answer the taste of the day, Whatever it be, They hit on the key, And pipo in full concert away. News from all countries and climes, Advertisements, qssays aud rhymes, Mixed up with all sorts Of (f)lying reports, And published at regular times. Artiole3 able and wise, At least in the editor's eyes, And logic so grand That few understand To what in the world it applies. Statistics, reflections, reviews, Little Bcrapa> > instrnol and amuse, And lengthy debate Upon matters of state, For wise-headed folks to peruse. And funds as they were and are, The quibbles and quirks of the bar, And every week A clever critique On some rising theatrical star. The ages of Jupiter's moons, The BtealiDg of somebody's Bpoons, The state of the oropF, The style of the fops, And the wit of the public buffoons. List of all physioal ills BaniBhed by somebody's pills: Till yon ask with surprioe Why any one dies. Or what's the disorder that kills? Who has got married, to whom; Who were out off in their bloom; Who has had birth On this Borrow-stained earth, And who totters fast to the tomb. The price a of cattle and grain; Directions to dig and to drain; But 'twould take me too long To tell yon in song A quarter of what they contain. A writer from Fort Laramio states that he accompanied the Black Hills' expedition, and, being an old miner, prospected for gold, but could not ob? tain even the color.
