A GOLD PEN.--The witty editor OF the
Chronotype says:


'We are politely requested to accept gold
pen which comes by mail from the manuiac-
lurers Josiah Hayden & Co., Haydenville,
Mass. We do so with our best bow. We are
a fortunate editor. Hencelorh our course is
gilded and.smooth, having got rid..of the villal-
nous steel, which is always inclined TO stab.
We are resolved to conform ourselves, as far
as our nature admits, TO this new circum-
stance.


ala ha ! for poverty how odd


pen with diamond pointed nib y


Well stocked with truth, with kindness shod


Twill 20 the leaders strong and glib,


And never prick the wholesome skin,


Unless immoderately thin."'


We would not be displeased at such re-
cept by mail, even at our own expense.-Ed
ltors Of the Farmer and Mechanic.
