Wriaen Expressly for the BeAo,cs Falls Times.
BY JONATHAN c. sAxEHoRN.
There is Mr. JoHS s&wTkLI, the old COOPER of all,
Who is needed among the most of the taR
To repair up our BARRELS and APPLE SAueE TUBs,
For who is there earth, but what says " he llbs
Nice apple sauce aud good cider, too,
So a ooorER is would ain bid adieu.
Take walk with me now, down under the hill,
The first place we come to is the old GRlsr MILL
passed through various hands but still holds its
Aud is said to be stn, the best one ia town.
Pass still farther down, and you loud rattle,
Like forty-fve thousand going to battle
You inquire and find that the manufacture PEGS
That used by US all on the end Of our legs,
Are made in great quantities, by W 81. G. Flint,
who coin money by it as fast the mint.
But this last assertion OF course they deny,
Like all Inoneyed men, bard times they cry"
The VALLEY MACHINE SHOP is very close by,
We viii now 60 In there and make short stay.
Mr.. BRowER, the MASTER, meets you with smile,
And says he should like you stop there awhile"
You find them repairing engines and for the road,
And leave them long for you'll do them no good
But pass out and make MK HARLOW call,
Who by the way does work for US all
In MATCHING and PLANNING, and such kind of jobs,
And is good workman at WATER Wheel TUBS,
Finally does ali kinds Of wood work without any fuss,
And is as useful a man find among Us.
The MACHINE sHor on the island that managed by PIERCE
Who Is by the way, man of great WORTH
To the r. & b. Railroad to manage their affairs
Around their shops, in the way of repairs.
For when SLks is about, the work is done well,
And he is not the the workmen can sell
With poor job, not as the strict law directs,
But il must be done well or else " pull up sticks"
He takes everything quiet, and makes blow count
Which for their doing work to such amount
ALBERT DERBYs sash and blind shop quite close
Where he makes solid work, and warrants it to stand
The pressure Of all weather, no matter how bad
For the very best work Of him be had
lie does quite large business in SASH and DOORS
And his work is all made from pine tree cores,
For sap does not answer his purpose SO well
When he makes work to do good and not merely to sell
] find in looking over this lengthy list,
There's two three business men have missed.
For there's John Kimba the and of all work,
Who viii always manage " by hook or by crook
To 60 60 your house and repair water pine,
For in doing such work seems TO be his delight
4 think If John Kimball should out of town.,
The village of B. Falls would surely go down.
Hold perhaps m too last iof thefe uhe hhoie maui
That is needed much in producing plan
To advance any interest for one and for all,
And always stands ready at minutes call,
To carry out the formed plan, If it is to do good,
For many a hardship wAIrER TAYLOR has stood
In battling with FIRE, foremost he is found,
And is always the last to leave dangerous ground,
He also does painting full up to the scratch,
Aud for enterprise, here is hard one % match.
Fpxr upxpv tho hool hinder hell ringer and sexton
Who will dig some of our graves when little
His being called to do the very last deed
For US, ere become for the worms feed,
advertises, he shall stay twenty-one years or more
Before he will sail for eternity's shore.
In the mean time bind books at his old stand,
Behind Mammoth block, on the hight Of the land.
We have a military company also in town,
Called the THE GREEN MOUNTAIN GUARDS" which have
As soldiers always ready to stand up to the mark,
And not wishing to defame Ethan Allen aud Stark,
Who were Green Mountain heroes in the annals Of fame
From which this company derive their proud name
Capt COCHRAN has command of this body of men,
And to give them fun credit with my humble pen,
Is a task, / fain would attempt to again.
But if you would follow them in a three days camp,
Or on many times, in their wearysome tramp,
You would find them always ready and brim full of life
To respond any moment to the drum and the fife.
should surely need censure, If let this right hand
Fail to write few words on the BELLOWS FAlLs BAND
Their eader F. MERRILL stands at the head in the art
OF instructing the pupil and playing his part.
He has certainly made here Of the very best Bands
That the country affords, and to-day, higher stands
Than anything else, BY way Of serenaies
Or street music, for marching, or Military Psrades-
1 believe I've mentioned all business Of note,
But IL any there are, who on pleasure doth dote,
would refer you to RoDeEks' nice BILLIARD room,
Or lust in the rear, 70 the bovine saloon.
