one of the best in the country. 1t passes through
large number Of important cit+os and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in

ing constant accesslous of wealth and population,
and these will bring an increase of trade which
must correspondingly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. All the

WHAT HAPPENED IN AN HoUR.-A man
CAME into town, from the neighborhood of
Clark Mills, one day last week, who eyi-
IDENTIFY believes in the doctrine that what s
to be done should be done quickly; for
about six O'Clock he became acquainted
with widow, who if not fair was at least
fat and forty, and inan hour from the time
of introduction they were bound together
with hymen's golden chain. They had
never seen or heard of each other more than
an hour previous to their marriage; never
theless, there's no particular romance con-
nected with the durned' affair, for the
man was widower and has children
grown-up, while the woman was the reliet
Of three departed benedicts-so the couple
probably knew what they were about.

"REMINISCENCES OF MILWAUKEE. "A late
issue of the Wisconsin Rirer Plot, pub
lished at Wausau, Marathon county, con-
tanned the following:
''On Thursday last we had the pleasure
of greeting our old friend and brother
typo" S. G. Enos, ESQ.,, of Milwaukee,
and giving him cordial shake of the hand.
Twenty nine years ago we were compositors
in the Office of the Milwaukee Adueytiser,
published by Daniel H. Richards, the first
paper published in that place. Milwaukee
was then about one fourth the size of Wau-
sau, and we have been around in a canoe,
hunting ducks, where now is to be seen the
finest blocks of buildings in that finest city
of the west. Twenty years--what
changes have taken place-what cities and
! villages built up--railroads constructed, in
that time, and the Insignificant territory
then known as 'Ouisconsin, with pop
ulation of less than $4,000 souls, now CON
tains her hundreds Of thousands, and is fast
becoming one of the wealthiest States in the
Union. In conversing with our friend we
have lived all these years over again. 1t
does us good to talk Of old times and old
friends, and yet in doing so melancholy
feeling will steal over us-to think that so
| IDany OF tnOSe lIlenQS OI long ago nave
gone to the land of shadows. A more fer
tile brain than ours would weave an inter
esting history out of the material we could
furnish. But enough, We are beginning to
feel sentimental"
If We mistake not, the writer of the
above is Mr.. JEROME w. CHUBBUcK. If
so, he will probably remember that the
editor of our Pilot, when "a wee sma' boy" I"
twenty years ago, worked at the case with
him in the office of the Milwaukee Courier
1t seems but short time since then,
JEROME, but look at the mirror exposing
those gray hairs, tells too plainly that
'Long years have passed, old friend, since we
First met in lifes young day,
And friends long loved by thee and me,
Since then have dropp'd away.
Our locks, old friend, now thinly grow,
And some hang white and chill;
While some, like fow'rs mid Autumn's snow,
Retain youths color still.
And so, in our hearts, though one by one,
Youths sunny hopes have set,
Thank heav'n, not all their light is gene,-
We've some to cheer us YETI
