whom, Mr.. B. FISHER, assisted in the office at
the printing of the Message of President Mad

stability, or rather permanency, has existed, in
printing offices, this may be considered a
somewhat remarkable fact Gin. Gazette.

"Old Song"
The spiritof damned innovation" thus satir-
lied by the old poet a century ago, was
never more rife than in "these bastard new
times" as Carlyle stigmatizes them. Railroads
round the Globe, news by tightening from Dan
to Beersheba in less than no time, voyages to
the moon, volant and clairvoyant, bridges un-
der the beds of rivers, and streets in the air,
may almost be said to be among the common
realities of the day. Beside these thousands OF
other projects and theories scarcely more wild
are constantly being started, which
Upwhirled aloft,
Fly DER the back side ofthe world far off,
Into Limbo, large and broad, called
The Paradise of FOOLS

hereafter and transformed like their predeces-

her mail-coach there is no placing limits to the
liberties which this vile thief Reform sdestin-

privileges, and the appurtenances thereunto
belonging; and the Rip Van Wrinkle who takes
ten years nap now is likely enough to wake
up without land-m by which to recognize
the once familiar face of good old Tellus. I'm
der these circumstances there is certainly rea-
son for rejoicing with the poet of one of our
