Two HUNDRED THOUSAND RHYxssrRRs.-In the course of speech delivered at the Burns club annual dinner at Edinburgh, recently, Prof. Nassohu, who proposed the toast The Poets of Scotland said he had made a calcu. lation that probably in the British islands at the present moment there are 100000 people writing verses. ILaughter.l T stick to 2Oo,- 900 exactly, cannot give you the data on which make my calculations, but they satis. fed myself at the moment when I made tben. And they are not only making verses, but ] assure you making verses which would have at, tained a reputation had they been written in the last century. The quantity of verses which is being produced in English and Irish vicara. gss, in Scotch manses, and in all sorts of pla
 ces is utterly enormous do not think thai it is any objection to literature that it is be- coming voluminous, and that its practitioner are becoming numerous Perhaps in some fn
 turs time the distinction of man will be-ani he will be pointed out on the streets as dis tinguished man-that he has not written { book Laughter.

A RExARKABLE SroRY Four days after the rebels fired on Fort Sumter, . son ot Mrs. Dun
 can of Mecca, Ohio, enlisted for the war. He joined Western regiment, and after being in several battles was reported killed at the bat. tie of Stone River. His body was brought home and inferred. Afterward intelligence was brought to the parents by returned Union prisoners that their son was not dead, but in a rebel prison in Georgia. Other prisoners re- turning from there last spring, brought the sad news of his death to the sorely distressed fami
 ly. When the war closed an opportunity was offered to penetrate the rebellion. Mr. Dun- can sent down and had his son brought home again and buried. Having had him buried twice, as was supposed, twas natural that they should be reconciled to their loss; but few days ago their son Bob in spite of wounds and deaths and funerals, came marching home,
 and now is enjoying the hospitality of the pa- rental roof His case is strong one, but it is only one of many of the same kind which the history of the war reveals. .fa

CosDEs AND PALNERsron.--Rev Dr Wad dington of London in letter to the Com rega- tionalist, relates the following anecdote of Cob den showing the planpess with which he talk ed when Palmerston asked him to accept of- fee:
 On meeting Lord Palmerston, Mr Golden was told that place was reserved for him in the Minestry. and that the veteran statesman expressed his earnest desire that the the great Free Trader would accept the position offered to him, and that all would act harmoniously Mir Golden replied Tn his frank manner that it was impossible for him to unite with the government the leadership of Lord Palmers- ton. I may be wrong, my Lord,' he said, but before went to America, said you was the greatest impostor in Europe, and that YOU cost millions of money, and were dear at fraction of the price. may have been mista- ken in my estimate. but it will not do to make the discovery of such an error at the moment of accepting office.
 'oh' that is nothing replied the good-tem- rered Palmerston: you have not hit me hard CT than Gibsod, and he has joined us.'
 That may be- said Golden |: but I cannot tn'nk Of taking the appointment' After little further conversation, the honest free-tra der retired, expressing his admiration of the good-natured Premier, and promising te join an evening party at Cambridge House. but still inaexible in his purpose not to take ,ha ofice

A MATCH FACTORY A match factory ir Wes'ern New York is noted for the curious machinery used in the manufacture. 72OO0O feet of pine of the best quality are used an nually for the matches, and 400 900 feet oi basswood for cases. The sulphur used annual lY for the matches is 400 barrels. and the phos- phorus'is $500 pounds. The machines run night and day, and 800 hands are employed at the works. 300 pounds of paper per day are dsed to make the light small boxes for holding the matches, and four tons of pasteboard per week for the larger boxes. Sixty-six pounds of -four per day are used for paste, and the pen ny stamps required by government on the box es amount to the snug little sum of Sl ,440 per day.
 There are four machines in use for cutting, dipping and delivering the matches. The two inch pile plank is saved up the length of the match, which is 21 inches. These go into the machine for cutting where at every stroke l; matches are cut, and by the succeeding stroke pushed into slats arranged on double chain 250 feet long, which carries them to the sulph UT vat, and from thence to the phosphorus vat and thus across the room and back, returning them at point just in front of the cutting ma chine, and where they are delivered in theil natural order, and are gathered by a boy into trays and sent to the packing room. Thus 1000 gross or l44000 small boxes of mate hes are made per day. The machines for making the small, thin paper boxes and their covers are quite as wonderful and ingeniously con -a O. thnsa that maka the -.atohas- A long coil Of paper, as wide as the box is long revolves on wheel, one end being in the ma chine.
