~ d. p. Sbillaber, Esq, has retired from the
editorial corps Of the Boston Post, and joined the
staff Of the Saturday Erening Gasene His re-
tirement from the Post oceasioned the following,
which we copy from that journal -
Farsreii-By WideaeDrA
Farewell to thee, my Post Ills a long time
Since thou and brought our two heads together
Since first launched my little bark Of rhyme.
To sport along cheered by the summer weather
We have been friendswe still are friends-old Post
The tie is all unbroken, though we sever.
And even now my heart regards thee most,
just when we separate, perhaps forever
Again farewell and should my fortune prove
fatal chapter in a dismal story,
May some kind hand, mbued with olden love.
Carve on the Post some brief nemento MORT
some little tribute TO the spirit fled -
nut, just remember-f an not yet dead.
"Wideswarth, !" with a tear in his eve. dropped
the above and the tear into our lap yesterday even
ing, and LETT our office for that OF the Epenfng
Ga-ene, via Saunders patent railway. But TO
be serious, Mr.. Shillaber, alias "Nideswarth, -
alias "Airs. Parngton,' has been associated with
the Post for several years, and we trust the con-
nection has proved as agreeable to him 1t GER
tainly has to our readers and to ourselves As a
writer, reporter and lecturer, he has won honora-
bic distinction, and we congratulate our neighbors
Of the Ga=ette upon the occasion which adds 10
their corps 50 valuable auxiliary. His duties
on weekly paper will be more congenial with his
tastes than the rough and tumble business Of A dali
" journal, and afford him that desired opportuui-
" ior literary labor in another sphere which he
ooulu not ENJOY IN an establishment like the one
from which he has just taken his leave. We wish
him all the happiness and prosperity his kind dis
position strict integrity, and rare ability 50 fully
