POETRY.

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP.


As Love and Friendship walked together.
A sudden tempest lour'd around;
Love, frightened at the changeful weather,
Sank, trembling, sobbng. on the ground.
"Pie, urchin, ie" cried Friendship, kindly,
"Does wind and rain alarm thy fears
Thou who canst sport so gaiiy, blindly,
At cloud, skies, dissolved in tears
Up, babe III cast my mantle DER thee
To shield thee from the dreaded storm:
Poor thing when all is bright before thee
Thou too art bright, and gay and warm,
but at the slightest change ihou'rt weeping,
Thou szpeet, fral source of fond delight"
All had not friendship Love in Keeping
A stormy day his charms would blight!
But Love and Friendship when together,
May safely brave the changetul sky;
For Friendship fears no stormy weather,
While Love alone would droop and die.

TOWN OF
@ u i III g 70

There will be a sale OF Lots in this beautiful
town site on the 18th December ncAt. The
local advantages and peculiar importance OF
this unrivaiiou situation, to the enteiprlsing
merchant, laechanic, or capitalist, have SO
often been the subject OF observation and re-
mark, that il is unnecessary at this time to en-.
ter into minute detail OF them,
1t is a situation on the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi River, 100 miles above St. Louis, and
l 10 below Fort Edwards. The shore Is beau
titul gravely beach, afording an excellent
steamboat landing at oil stages OF wafer. The
bluff Uses gradually from the river, and ter
inmates in handsome prairie, commanding
an interesting prospect OF the river, for Is or
90 miles. Boston Bay, at the upper end OF
the town, affords safe and capacious harbor
for Boats. The soil of the adjacent country
is fertile, and the appearance romantic and in-
vt,ng beyond description. There are seve-
raj excellent situations for water machinery in
the vicinity, one Saw and Grist Mill about to
be put in operation and springs Of the pur-
est water, bursting through the bluffs at short
intervals. indeed We challenge the state to
produce another situation combining SO many
advantages, calculated to render residence
here both profitable and desirable. Terms of
sale, one fourth down, balance in 6 10 and 10
months AS the county is in want of funds
Immediately, for the purpose OF erecting pub.
lie buildings, a discount OF ~ per cent. will be
made for prompt payment, and liberal en-
couragement given to immediate actual set
tiers.
