MISCELLANY.
stories-of the Presidsut,

A writer In the Watchman and Reflector
tells the following stories OF the President:
"Mr. Lincoln has fund of humor which,
though not always dignifed, is harmless. l.
is ever apt and ready, and doubtless among al
the wearing sorrows OF his public life has al
forded him relief when he wodld other wise
have broken down under his heavy load. This
jocoseness Is sometimes grim anu sarcastic.
1t is always playful, yet is never ABUSIVE, and
seldom WOUNDS. Often it isnicety adapted to
the place and occasion, and Is used with great
effect. Its one form OF that humor that Is
NOT uncommon in New England, especially in
rural districts, and which, in a higher and
more cultivated Development, adorn The pages
of Holmes, Lowell, and others of our littera-
ry men, About two years ago. when the
Prince OF Wales was soon to marry the Prin-
cess Alexandria, Queen Victoria sent letter
to each OF the soVereigns, informing them OF
her sons betrothal, and among the rest 10
President Lincoln. Lord Lyons, her ambas-
sador at Washington, and who, by the way. Is
unmarried, requested an audience OF Mr. LIN
coin. that he might present this Important
document in person. At the time appointed
he was received at the White House, in com
many with Mr.. Seward. = "a ossctsSo Z.
sMay il please YOUR Excelleney,' said Lord
Lyons. Il hold in my hand an autograph let
ter from my royal mistress, Queen Victoria,
which have been commanded to present to
your Excelency, that her son, his Royal
Highness the Prince OF Wales, is about to
contract matrimonial alliance with her Royal
Highness the Princess Alexandra of Den
mark r3d1aas 20 bnta .
After continuing in this strain for few
minutes, Lord Lyons rendered the letter to
the President and awaited his reply. 1t was
short, simple, and expressive, and consisted
simply of the words: 9eX8
Lord Lyons, go thou and do likewise q
We doubt IL any English ambassador was
ever addressed in this manner before, and
would be glad TO learn what success he met
guage when he reported it to her Majesty.
1t is said that sometime since, when depus'
tation of clergymen presented and address to
to the President, in which he was styled "a
pillar OF the church. he quantity, and perhaps
truthtullY, remarked that they wonld have
done much better to call him a steeple.,o
