The Printers Burial.
BY "LOWFR CASE.u

BY ''LONfh CASE
Not song was heard, not '.devils" shout
As his ''iotm'' to the graveyard we carried
Not a foreman was there to sigh devout
Ger the grave where our printer was buried
We buried him deeply at set of sun,
The sods with our 'side sticks" turning,
By the silent flow of the rippling run,
And the types bitterly yearning.
A walnut coffin confined his breast,
Nor in sheet nor shroud we bound him,
But he lay like one o the craft taking his rest
With his "blankets" thrown around him
Long and loud were the prayer we said
And we spoke many a word of sorrow
Whilst we steadily gazed on the face of the dead
And tho't who'd have Lis cease" on the morrow.
We thought as we hallowed his earthly 'bed''
And 0 er his grave shed many bitter tear,
How many columns Of matter he used to
'lead,;"
And "stick up" the ''burgeois'' and "brevier.'
Sadly we'll talk of our jour that is gone,
And O er his cold ashes bewail him;
But little he'n wreck, if they'll let him sleep on
In the grave where printer has laid him
And now our work was well nigh done
When the bell toled the hour for returning.
And we in the distance the sitting sun,
And the "sanctum' light dimy burning.
Slowly and sadly VIC laid him down
From the 'stand" where we worked, old and
hoary,
We "set" not line we raised not a "stone,"
But left him slumbering in glory.

WONDERFUL PENs.-Dr. Warner, some
years ago, happened to be in the shop Of
an eminent stationer in the Strand, Lon
don, when member Of the House of
Commons purchased hundred quills for
SIX shillings. When he was gone, the
Doctor e1claimed-"Oh, the luxury OF
the age Six shillings for a hundred
quills ! Why, it never cost me sixpence
for quills in my life'' "That is very sur
prising, Doctor" observed the stationer,
''for your works are very voluminous. .
81 Declare" replied the Doctor, ~ wrote
my Ecclesiastical History, two volumes
in folio, and my Disserta,o ion on the Book
of Common Prayer, large folio, both
the first and second copies, with one single
pen. 1t was an old one when I BEGAN,
and 1t IS not worn out now that I have
finished" This relation was spread
abroad, and the merit Of this pen was es-
teemed so highly that celebrated Coun-
tess begged the Doctor to make her a pres
ent Of it. He did so, and her ladyship
had gold case made, with a short histo-
ry OF the pen written upon it, and placed
it in her cabinet of curiosities Byron
wrote his celebrated poem, the Bride Of
in one night, without mcndinc
his pen. The pen is still preserved in the

A DEPARTED SPIRIT SENDING FOR HIS TEA
KErrLE.-A special investigator of spiritual
3sm gives to the Boston Times the following
chapter of his experience at spiritual sitting
in Pawtucket r. l., few days since
The medium was Mr. IT., who had been an
auctioneer. A few months previous an intcm-
perate old man by the namo w, had died. IL.
had sold his effects, and himself bid off u copper
tea-kettlc for few cents. And now, on call
ing for the spirits to respond. the traps came,
and SPELLED ont the name of old Mr. W.! He
was asked IF he wished to make any cOnmuni-
cation" and the answer was. Yes" So he
he proceeded and spelled out by the raps, Il

then simmering OH the cook-stove which stood
in the room and while the Gstonished meoi

message of old Mr.. W. he became horribly
frightened, and it was long while before he was
content to sit down for the raps agGiu. How
ever in the process Of time this shock was par
TALLY forgotten, and Mr.. H. wife persuaded
him to sit again for the sounds" They had
no sooner "forrned the circle" than this same
old w. announced himself again, and raped
out by the alphabet, Il will take my te;.-kettle !"
This was so perplexing to the ne lium THAI he

GALLANT EXPLOIT OF ADMIRAL BRU-
AT~-A Partisan paper has letter from
the Crimea, which says, admiral Bruat's
daring is proverbial in the fleet. In spite
OF the fits Of gout with which this officer
is 50 frequently attacked, or perhaps on
account Of that affiiction, he sometimes
has the idea of such aulacious attempts as
are more to be expected from a young
lieutenant who has his promotion to gain
than from an Admiral. Lately, after
severe attack Of gout, he called some Of
his officers into his cabin and said, &c
tlemon, good idea has just occurred to
mc-it is, to 60 quietly in, and ourselves
visit tie channel Of Scbastopol. We shall
be able to judge for ourselves what its
situation really is" The proposition
was Joyfully accepted, and in the middle
OF the night several Of the boats Of the
Charlemagne put off and entered the chan
mel, The boats went through every part
OF it, and the admiral touched with his
own hand the chain which closes tho en-
trance of the military port. Everything
was managed so cleyerly on the part of
the Admiral's party that not single
Russian sentinel was aware of their ap-
proach. But day began to break while
the boats were still far down in the har-
Dor, and the alarm was Immediately given.
\ terrible fire was then opened all along
the Notifications of the channel, and it was
under a fearful shower of projectiles of
every descriptions that the boats made
their way out. Fortunately not man
was wounded, though the long boat of the
Charlemagne was somewhat damaged By
the cnemy's shot. This bold attempt, SO
successfully executed, has since been the
principal subject Of conversation and
praise in the faet.''

FoREIGS PAUPERs-Thc United States are
rot the only portion of America afflicted with
the evil of foreign pauper immigration. From
statistics published III the Canadian papers, it
appears that of 53,l83 Immigrants who arrived
at Quebec during the year 1854, no less than
3,42l were paupcrs % being English, 2,97l
Irish. and 422 were Germans. 1t is natural
enough for The British Government 10 send It's
own paupers TO its own colony bat the fact
of there having arrived at the same place no
less than 422 paupers from Germany. seems

A ONE HORSE NOVEL.

ONE HORSE NOV Eli
The following is rich burlesque on modern
novels:
Violetta started convulsively and turned
her tear drencEed eyes wildly upon the speaker
for to her there seemed something strangely
familiar in those low rich tones. Their eyes
met-hs beaming with love and tenderness,
hers cleaning with wild uncertainty.
''Vioetta =
"AlleHdorf!'
And the beautiful girl sank from excess Of
ioy, upon his noble heart, throbbing with the
pure holy delicious love Of other DAYS. Allen
dorf bent tenderly over her, and bathed her
pure white temples with the gushing tears of
deep, though sudden joy. WhiIe doing this,
vioetta's father, Rip Van Snort, was seen
cautiously approaching the lovers with a fail
Alendorf saw the aged patriarch and with
one leap cleared the banisters and rushed
down stairs. Van Snort was not to be thus
done. He put after the flying Allendorf, and
just as he was turning the corner of the red
barn gave him lift with tie fail that placed
-him on the "other side Of Jordan"
Violetta, driven to distraction, threw her
self on the grass, and for long, long hour
was deaf to every consolation.

Russia about 40,000,000 in that state of
