Discussed by the Staff of Punch and Final- ly Accept tel For Frint—The Famous Board Al pond Which Many Bright Lights of Literature Bave Assembled. Tho table, the famous board of which we all have heard, yet none or but very few of us have seen, I myself among the. fortunate few, says Mr. M. H. Spielman in his "History of Punch." As a piece of The coroner's jury which investigated furniture this hospitable but rather prim - 'Monday the death of William `Travis, of hive piece of joinery is not of mach ao- Brantford., who died under chloroform, count; the top being of plain deal (pace adnhinistered previous to an .operation, Thackeray's "Mahogany Tree"), oblong returned a .verdict exonerating the medi- in shape with rounded ends.. But its as - cal hien from all blame in the matter. sooiations render it a treasure among treasures, a rich and priceless gem. Fox at this. table netu'ly every man upon the staff bus from the day it was made sat and carved his initials upon it with a pen- knife when officially elevated to Punch's peerage. As each has died his successor has taken his place, just es the Institut de Franco creates inunortals to fill the chairs mucic vacant by death, and he bus cut his iuitials or his mark close by those of the men who ocoupied the plate) before him. There they aro, staring at you from the table like so many abecedarian skeletons at the feast, and if you take a furtive and hasty peep from the doorway and lift the green protective cloth you catch sight nearest you of a "D. lel." (Du liaurier) in close company with a beautifully cut "W, M. T." (William llal:epeace `T'haokerny), and a monogrammatic leech inside u Ot- to flanked' by a "J." and an "L." (John Teach), and you gaze with deep letorost on the handiwork of them and of the rest, many of whom have carved their Danlos, as on that table, deep into England's roll of fame. Thomas Hood's "Song of the Shirt" was one of Punch's groat successes, and at this table its zuerits were first discussed. A woman, with a half starved infant at the breast, was "charged at the Lambeth police court with pawning her master's goods, for which she had to give tit secu- rity. Her husband had died by an accident and bad loft lief• with two ohildron to sup- port, and she obtained by her needle fax the maintenance of bersulf and family what her master called the 'good living' of 7 shillings a week." Punch was at once aglow with redact indignation, and in an article entitled "Famine and Fash- ion" proposed an advertisement such as this fax the firm that employed her: Holland coats from two and three are shown By Hunger's beggard fingers neatly sewn, Embroidered tunics for your infant made— Tho oyes aro sightless now that worked the braid. Rich vests of velvet at this mart appear, Each one bedimm'd by some poor widow's tear, And riding habits formed for maid or wife, All oheap—eye, ladies, cheap as pauper life. Fax mourning suits this is the fitting mart, For every garment holp'd to break a heart. The subject touched Hood more power- fully perhaps than others, fax his nature was essentially grave and sympathetic. As be himself had said, it was ouly fax his livelihood that ho was a lively Hood, al- though he was always brimming over with comicalities, and ho never felt more deeply the dignity of his profession and his own force and weight thau when he was engaged an serious work. So Hood conjured up his "Song of the Shirt," moved by the revelations of poor seam- stresses who received, as it appeared, 5 farthings a shirt, out of which sum they had to find their own needles. Mark Lem- on told Mr. Joseph Hatton tbat Rood had "accompanied the room with a few lines in which ho expressed the fear that it was hardly suitable for Punch and leaving it between his discretion and the waste pa- per basket." It had, said Hood, already been rejected by three papers, and he was sick of the sight of it. hark Lemon brought the poem up at the table, where the majority of the staff protested ugninst its inclusion in acomia paper, But Leman was determined, and, after all, was it not for a Christmas number that he destined it—a number in which something serious, pathetic, with a note of pity and love, was surely not out of place? The effect of its publication was tremen- dous. The poem went through the land like wildfire. Nearly every paper quoted it, headed by The Times. It was the talk of the bour, the talk of the country. It went straight to John Bull's kind, bour- geois, sympathetic heart, just as Carlyle declared that Ruskin's truths had "pierced like arrows" into his, The authorship, too, was vigorously canvassed witb intense interest. Dickens, with that keen insight and critical faculty which bats enabled him to de- tect alone among literary experts tect the sex of George Eliot, then an un- known writer, was ono of the few who at once named the writer of the verses. And it was well fax Hood that he had proof of the authorship, fax one of the most. curi- ous things connected with the poem was the number of persons who had tbe incom- prehensible audacity to claim it. Punch shared handsomely in the glory of the poet, and its circulation tripled on the strength of it. And Mrs. Hood, poor soul, triumphed in her propheoy, for had she not said and maintained in spite of each successive rejection from foolish edi- tors: "Now, mind, Hood, mark any words; this will tell wouderfally. It is one of the best things you ever did." And so this song, which in spite of its defects still thrills you as you read, achieved suoh a popularity that for sudden and enthusias- tic applause its reception has rarely been equaled. It was soon translated into every language in Europe. Hood used to laugh as he wondered how they world render "seam and gusset and band" into Dutch. It was printed and sold as catchpennies, printed on cottou pocket handkerchiefs; it was illustrated in a thousand ways, and the greatest triumph of all, which brought tears of joy to Hood's eyes, before a week was out a. poor beggar woman came sing- ing it down the street, the words set to a simple air of her own. A Bachelor's Paradise. Dr. Benjamin A. Gould, the eminent astronon'ier who died at his home in Cam- bridge a fortnight ago; Professor Josiah Dwight Whitney, the well known professor of geology at Harvard, who died last sum- mer um mer, and George M. Lane, now professor of Latin emeritus at Harvard, wore a half century ago three young bachelors living together in Cambridge, Mass., in one of. the old colonial houses there. ``Here," says Professor Davis, in a recent 9esue of The Harvard Graduates' Magazine, "was feast of reason and flow, of soul -a reoep- tion`in Roman style,, the door opened by a house servant blackened and chained like a sloes and greeting the. guests in. Latin with a brogue; a gathering in honor of Professor F. Child's first Anglo-Saxon book, and •as the edition did not go off rapidly in these earlier days all the unsold copies were borrowed from the publishers and used to decorate the house, everyt lna else being cleared away."
