The freeman. (Fremont [Ohio]) 1849-1850, 1849-12-08

They were no longer there
The large Newfoundland house-dog
Was standing BY the door, s,FE9 - --r
He looked for his little play mates
Who would return no more.
They walked not under the lindens.
They played not in the hall, ta ~
But shadow and silence aud sadness
Were hanging over al. aazE
The birds sang in, the branches 81. g..
With sweet familiar tone, =
But the voices of The children
Will be heard ia dreaIns alone.
And the boy who walked beside me. a+
He could not understand
Why closer in mine, Hh! closer,

Eg travelling Yankee lately put up at coun-
try inn, where number of loungers assem-
bled all drinking and telling large stories. After
sitting some time and attentively listening to their
folly, he suddenly turned and asked them how
much they supposed he had been offered for his
dog, which he had with him. They all started and
curiosity was on tip-toe to know; one guessed five
dollars another guessed ten dollars, another fifteen,
until they had exhausted their patience, when one
of them seriously asked how much be had been Of
fered "Not a darned cent" he replied.
"How late is it, Bill?'
"Look at the boss and see if he's drunk yet: if
he isn't it can't be much after eleven" ~

The above was the observation of the old Gre
clan, Tacitus although it is an old saying it may,
nevertheless, be untrue. If it be true, where is
the community that is exempt from such @apos-
tates and "rebels" as he pleases to call them 90

EE Southey, in his "Common Place Book"
quotes from Wither an English Poet, who wrote
in the sixteenth century, the following lnese If
there is not much poetry in them, there is good
deal of truth, when applied to the golden land Of
California
g I've heard those say that travel TO the West,
Whence this beloved metal is increst
That in the place where such minerals be,
Is neither grass, nor herb, nor plant nor tree,
And like enough for this at home find, ,--a-
Those who toe earnestly employ the mind
About that trash, have hearts, ! dare uphold
- As barren as the place where dig gold"
EE A true picture of despair is pig reaching
through hole in fence to get cabbage that lies
a few inches beyond his reach.
