The writer can vouch for the truth o the following incident, which wa* derived from an unqu •stionahlc soutce : It was in the fa’l of 1807 that an ex-Co (federate soldier w ho had lost fortune by the “into cmbrrk unpl un i was about to in mercantile hie, visited by invitutiou, a distant relu. tive residing in Diylestown, PeniiByl vaiia.

A Joke Spoiled, A correspond lit of the Atlanta Her aid gives the c incet verdon of a f-toiy whi li hits recently b, on going the rounds of the press ; It will not do Iqr people to repeat seriously the half ot what sensation writers by the line semi in daily install. ment* to their papers. One of the, in «t distorted ami ridiculous things wo have seen in a long time has been cir¬ culate! in the papers lor some time past in reference to a witty remark of Stephen A. Doughs, at Uo'woll Cobb’q expense. Air. Cobb gave a social party in honor of Hie Georgia delegates to the Balti uiorc Democratic Convention, to which Air. Douglas was iuvited A constitu¬ ent of Mr O .Lb, after tho wine had mellowed the hearts of the party, called on the party to drink to a toast. After a little pauso the ardent admirer of the g’eat Cobb—may Georgian said, * Here’s to Howell lie live, to President of the United States.” .Quick as lightning Douglas, with his infectious laugh, said, "J’y George, Cobb, your friend 1* wishing you a very long li/e,” and, as might have been expected from such a splendid stroke of wit, it shook who the room. All enjoyed it, and those knew r obl> c. n umleis and low hearti¬ ly lie joined in the laugh, and how in-« cvitubly lie built on the joko. While Cobb was a man of ardent and decided temperament, there never lived a more amiable man, and lie passed through his checkered and arduous life without a canker spot of malice or revenge in hia heart. A Uein From Whittier. To appreciate tho truth and beauty ot the following lines from the pin of Whittier, says the Hudson Republican, is necoamry to know the circumstan (,cs under which they were written. A friend of Whittier’s youth, who had Mpent most of his life on tho Illinois prairies, ca 1 d on the bachelor poet, a' his home in Amc+bury. aud together they recall d the scenes of their child¬ hood, and briefly recounted the courso ol their after life. MMiittier seemed much affected by the allusions of his friend to his prairie home, whore a wife, childtcn, and agrand-cltihl “Constance,” awaited his return ; and on being asked btr his autograph, replied, * Call on your way to tho ears ami L will hand it to you.’’ The friend called and received the following gem. which ho permits us pub.idt. ihe l ie* show tlie delicate texture of the poct’H heart, tlio stretching •——•••y -- alttr — tomothing . beyond • • tho • reach of a bachelor : The years, that since we mat lnve (town, Lon e, ns they found nut, kliii aloit Nor wife,' i or child, nor gi'aml-idnld dear Arc mine, the heart of ago to cheer.
