The WOrn-out Font of Type.

I'm sitting by the desk. George;
Before me- on the floor.
There lies worn-out font of type,
Full twenty thousand score.
And many months have passed, George,
Since they were bright and new.
And many are the tales they've told
The false, the strange. the true.
What tales of horror they have told,
Of tempest and of wreck;
Of murder in the midnight hour,
Of war full many Specki
Of ships that lost away at sea-
Went down before the blast,
Of stified cries of agony.
AS lite's last moments passed?
Of earthquakes and of suicides,
vi falling. crops of cotton.
OF bank defaulters, broken banks,
And banking systems rotten.
And boilers bursting, steamboats, snagged,
OF riots. duels fought.
Of robbers with their prey escaped,
Of thieves their booty caught.
OF food, and fire, and accident.
These worn out types have told;
And how the pestilence has swept
The youthful and the old:
Of marriages, of births. and deaths,
OF things to please or vex us;
Of one mans jumping overheard,
Another gone to Texas.
They've told US how sweet summer days.
Have faded from our view.
How autumn chilling winds have swept
The leaf crowned forest through;
How winters snow hath come and gone
Dark reign of storm and strife
And how the smiling spring hath warmed.
The pale flowers back to life.
/ can't pretend to mention half
My inky friends have told.
Since. shining bright and beautiful
They issued from the mold
How unto some they JOY have brought.
To Others grief and tears;
Yet faithfully the record kept
Of fast reeeding years.

A STRANGE YET TRUE SToRY.--We
heard q singular story the other day
which is worth repeating. The actors in
it are in humble life, but the little ro-
nance has its interest nevertheless. The
first scene is laid in Germany some twen-
ty years ago. Carl Schmidt, (the name
alone is fictitious) was the son Of we'll
to-do farmer in Baden. When about
twenty years old he fell in love with .
pretty village maiden. His passion was
reciprocated. The pair slowed not wise
ly but too WE'LL" and lived together Is
man and wife, though no priest had per-
formed the service Of the church upon
their union Their lives passed pleas
antly for FIVE years. Two children were
given them, which both loved fondly.
But about this time temptress entered
the domestic Eden, in the form of
dashing woman, who laid seige to Carl's
affections. She persuaded him to leave
his companion. and with the children
they came to America. Here they were
married and lived some years. About
six months ago the woman took sick and
died, but on her death bed in Z fit Of re-
morse, perhaps made her husband prom
ise to send for his early love and make
an "honest woman" Of her. Faithfully
and gladly did he obey the injunction.
He wrote to Germany, found her still
alive, and offered her again his heart,
this time with his hand. The deserted
one arrived in short time, and the two
were united in matrimony. their children
now grown up, being witnesses of the
ceremony. The reunited family is now
living happily together in New York.
The husband is patrolman ON the Ne
tropolitan force. The man has always
been industrious and frugal, and now
talks Of returning with his Wijb "a end
his days in his native land
