 publication of the Church Record, a magazine 

 printed under the auspices of the Episcopal 

 Church, and which, during the period of its 

 existence, was conducted with marked ability. 

 The publication of the Record was, however, 

 soon discontinued, and in the same year (1841) 

 the first number of the Flushing Journal was 

 issued, with Mr. Lincoln as its editor and pro- 

 prietor, and to this paper he continued to give 

 the best efforts of his pen, and in its columns 

 he consistently and faithfully advocated what 

 he sincerely believed to be the right and true 

 in every issue brought before the people.

the pleasures of authorship. He contributed 

 to the Knickerbocker, and also to Putnam's 

 Magazine, collecting the contributions to the 

 former into a volume entitled " Prismatics, by 

 Richard Haywarde," and a portion of the latter 

 into a volume entitled "The Sparrowgrass 

 Papers," which gave him a reputation as one 

 of the first American humorists of the day. 

 Two years later he published a volume of
