TEE OUR A CEAGRIN FALLS.-The
Fourth at Chsgrin Falls was g glad and
glorious day. The cannon upon the heights
awOke the prolonged echoes ere Morpheus
arms had been ~unclsspsd from the slum-
boring village. AT an early hour the peo-
pie came thronging in from the surround
ing country. AT two o'clock the process
sion formed under the direction of L.. A.
sunderlin, Marshal, and after marching to
the beautiful grove overlooking the town,
the following exercises took place, Mayor
Curtis presiding:
Prayer, by Rev. Mr.. Graham.
Residing of the Declaration, Professor
Hayden.
Grafton, by M. s. Castle, Esq, of Cleve-
land.
The exercises were i~nterspersed by music
from the Ch&grin Falls Band and Professor
Abbott's finely trained vocalists.
During the performance oftheu above, our
patriotic ladies had spread q splendid din
ner in an srbOr near by, for the returned
braves and their families, which was ''dis-
cussed" with a relish, observation-disclosures
rain, which, for a time, interrupted the
proceedings and threatened 10 inundate the
sumptuous repast.
The Grafton of Mr.. Castle, for chaste and
classic diction, impsssioned earnestness
and sublime patriotism, was one rarely
equalled in the annals of Oratory. We trust
it may appear in print, IS q resolution was
unanimously passed, requesting its publ
cation in the Cleveland papers.
A display of fireworks in the evening
closed the honors of the day. and the null
titude~ returned to their homes, thankful
for victOry and peace.-CoM.
GALL Is NOT SOLE THAr GLIrTHRs."-A
very amusing illustration of the truth of
the above proverb is at hand, and the &C
count should possess all the more interest
to our readers from the fact that the circum-
stance occurred in this city. A certain
Aiee JOuug mau, n0moIosS here forever
more, became deeply enamored of a beau
tiful Cleveland maid, but dared not declare
his passion. He thought of her by day and
dreamed of her all night, until his hungry
heart cried out:
"Give me an smulet
That keeps intelligence with YOU"
Not so his voice. however, for unlike Ten
nyson's hero, he was too bashful and love-
awed to claim from her even so much as one
of the clustering ringlets that graced her
"swan-like neck" although he coveted it
with q passion.
Your FiUglets, your ~ringlets,
That look 50 golden-gsy,
If you will give me one, but one,
To kiss il night and day, .r
Then never chilling touch Of Time
Will turn it siiver-gray
And then shall l know 1t is all srue gold,
To name and sparkle aud stream as of old,
Till all the comets in heaven are cold,
And all her stare decay"
Time passed, and still his timidity kept
pace with his over-increasiug passion till
at last, on a night to be remembered, while
his Dulcinea was deeply absorbed at the
piano, his desire did then and there SO far
gain the ascendancy for one trembling mo-
--~anaA him to uohip out a pair of
scissors on the sly, and snip OF rhe c0Uvvy,s
treasure. He slipped itintO his pocket, and
was happy.
20 RiDRlet, o Binglet,
He kissed you night and day,
And Bing ct, o RiDgiet,
You still are golden-gay,
But Ringlet, 0 RiOsiet'
Whstis this which now he's told,
he that took you for true gold,
4 Il . . IL
Fold, soldl'
For, o anxious reader, it must be owned
with some confusion of face for the young
man aforesaid, that the ringlet he clipt
was a false curII Commiserute him in his
disappointment and chagrin. Our imsgin-
alton figures him wandering, abstractedly
apart from men, constantly calculating the
last verse of the Laureate's poem:
80 Ringlet, o Ringlet,
count you much TO blame,
For Ringlet, o Ringlet,
You put me much to shame,
70 Ringlet, o Binglet,
doom you to the flame.
For what is this which now 1 learn,
Has given all my fai h a turn2
Burn, you glossy hereto, burn,
Burn, burn"
