DARKNESS FAVORABLE TO FATTEN-

spect to fowls. From experiments made
with sheep, conclusions have been reached

The blacklist record ever made by the rep

With a faultless rythm and a musical
rhyme,
With a Broadening sweep. and asurgesub-
That blends with the ocean of years.
How the Winters are drifting like fakes of
And the Summer, like buds between,
And the year is the sheaf-so they come
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
AS IL glides through the shadow and
sheen.
| There's a musical isle on the river of time,
Where the sOfte>t airs are play1ng;
| There's a cloudle>s sky and a tropical cline,
| And "A sons as sweet as vesper chime,
And the JuneS with the roses are staying.
Aud the name Of the isle is Long Ago.
Aud we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms OF

sol
There are fragments of songs that nobody
sings,
| There's a lutte unswept, a heart without

There are broken vows and pieces of rings.
And the garments that SHE used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the
airy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And We sometimes hear, through turbu-
lent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.

We find the following in the San
Francisco Bulletin, from a correspon-
dent
At the time alluded to, General
Shields, Mr.. Lincoln and Mary Todd,
the afhanced of Mr.. Lincoln, were all
residents of Springfield. General
Shields had just returned from the
Mexican war. His public and private
life had been of the highest standing,
but being of a naughty nature, and
looking with some degree of disdain
upon Honest Abe" be sought on
one occasion to force Miss Todd to
accept his company, during which
time something occurred which
gave her great offence. She
wrote a severe and sarcastic arti-
Gle accompanied by a piece OF poetry.
all of which was a most scathlng and
cutting rebuke to General Shields,
and handed it to Mr.. Lincoln to have
| it published in the Springfield paper.
Mr.. Lincoln hesitated a little, but
having confidence in his judy
ment and good sense to manage
such an affair, he took it to
the editor, enjoined the strictest Sc
crecy, and it was published. 1t was a
labored comment upon much OF
Shields public as we'll as private ca
reer, and he writhed like a chained
tiger under the goad. Although his
name was not mentioned, everything
pointed directly to him, and he sought
by every means to find out the au.
thor's name. At last he threatened
the editor with immediate prosecu-
ton if he did not disclose it to him,
and gave him but a short time for a
reply.
The editor went to Mr.. Lincoln's
Office, laid the whole matter before
him and asked his advice. Mr. Lin
coin sat a moment liz deep study, and
then, with his characteristic GOODNESS,
said: TELL Shields Abe Lincoln
wrote that article The editor re-
paired to his office, where he fonad
Shields in waiting. and when lie nerd
the information, vowed vengeance ~

deal of anxiety, expecting a personal
encounter with Shields the first time
they met, but instead he Immediately
received a challenge to fight a duel.
This was unexpected to Mr.. Lincoln,
! but not doubling his ability to still
bring the matter to a pleasant issue,
he proceeded with the affair. But /
will use his own language in relating
to it in after years. He said:
" | thought if that should fail. after
leading the General along as FAR as [
could on his road of honor and
Shields being a small man, and [
very tall with exceedingly long arms,
[ thought a sword would serve me as
we'll as anything, and [ chose long
swords as the weapons"
Everything being arranged the par
ties met, and when the final issue
was about to come, Shields being per-
fectly incorrigible, and Mr.. Lincoln
seeing there was no other alternative
looked Shields earnestly in the face,
and said:
shields, do you want to know who
wrote that article?"
Did you do it? said Shields.
"No, Mary Todd wrote it?" said
Lincoln, with a smile upon his eoun-
t~enance.
The friends present burst into a
roar of laughter, joined by Mr.. Lin
coin. In a few moments Shields
stepped forward gave Mr.. Lincoln his
| hand and Joined In the merriment.
Thus ended Mr.. Lincoln's duel.
He soon had an interview with Mary
Todd. who had known nothing of the
affair, related the circumstances to
her and sought her pardon for finally
disclosing her name. OF course he
was forgiven. To Shields the affair
was ever afterward annoying, but to
MI. Lincoln with his quick sense OF
the ridiculous and the n;ee apprecia-
ton of humor so characteristic of the
man, the whole affair was ever a
laughable one, when referred to in af-
ter years.
