% II any too confident persoh, havin'
faith in an editors ability to write at an.
and all times, and eliminate pleasant par
agraphs out ofthe dullest possible subject
If any such person we say turns t.
this page and deceived by the local heaC
expects to find local items here, We would
now and here, at the very outset, inform
him or her that he or she is wonderfully
deceived.
True,we might write about some things
but bless you, dear reader, just remember
that the mercury is clear up in the attic
of its tubular tenement, and is, doubles;
contemplating an addition to sail tubs
that it may go up higher, Where is The
person so depraved as to wish to have u;
write at such time. If there is such al
infatuated being, if he will call at this of
flee he shall have q glass of pure cold wa
ter, by bringing pailful, and the bestex
change on our list, if we are not using it
Still there are some things we might
write about if compelled to.
We might mention that the frame
of new dwelling house on Second St
has been raised since our last issue, but
we prefer not to say anything about ii
until it is nearer completion.
We might say that the District
School in this village closes on Friday Of
this week, but all the children know this,
and the parents ought to.
We might say, too, that the Fall
Term of the Academy commenced on
Monday with good attendance of stu
dents, and once morethe pleasant ringing
of the bell marks the division of the hours
but this fact can be learned from an adj
vertisement in another column.
We might say that a party of anna
teur musicians, were out serenading in this
village few evenings since, but tie mu-
sic was so much better than the notice
would be, that We will say nothing about
it, except that
Soft stiffness and the night,
Become the touches of sweet harmony"
We might say too, while speaking
of evenings, that the evenings for week
past have been as perfect as ever smiled
upon the world. The broad expanse OF
heaven has been clear as a mirrors face,
while the moonlight has flooded, all the
heaven and rested like benediction on
the earth. We had narrow escape from
writing an "oad" to the solemn, starry
beautiful and mysterious night. In place
of the ''oad" we give the following little
dialogue, written by Mr.. William Shaks
peare, who formerly lived in London, and
wrote verses, mostly blank ones.
Lor. The moon shines bright In such
ut dc tuISy
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees
And they did make no noise in ST CHI a night,
Froilus, methinks. mounted the Trojan walls,
And sigh'd his soul toward the Grecian tents
Where Cressid lay that night.
Jes. $50 l[E# In such night
Mcdea gathered the enchanted herbs
That did renew old Eson.
LOr. In such night,
Did Jessica steal from the wealthy jew
And with an unthrift love did run from Venice
AS far as Belmont.
.Tes. And in such night,
Did yogng Lorenzo swear he lov'd her well;
Stealing Ter soul with many VOWS of faith,
And ne'er true one.
Tor. And in such night,
Did pretty Jessica, like little shrew,
SANDER her love. and he forgave her.
Jcs. j would out-night you, did no body
come:
But. bark, j hear the footing of man.
We might say too that the harvest
ing has progressed wonderfully in tn
week past, and the ripened grain that 1
few days since rolled in golden pillows, i
now gathered in rustling sheaves ano
thickiy dots the field like an army in en-
campment. Already too has the "sepera
tor" begun to hum its music and th
stream of yellow wealth is pouring int
the garner.
And speaking Of the harvest, we ar
led to think of the Agricultural Fairs
which should be to tue farmers, what tb
feasts and temple services were to tn
Jews of old-a time of joy and rejoicin,
and deyout thanksgiving for blessings re
ceived. And here we remark that Pro-
HoYT, editor of the Wisconsin Former
q sort of High Priest in the service ofAg
riculture-will give the address at bot
Hudson and Prescott at the coming FAN
We might say too that Citizen
Purse of $500 has been raised to b
awarded at the Pierce Go. Fair as follows
> s15, o0-for best Trotting Stallion.
5000 I'd I"
Best three IN five in harness.
