OLD Roam.

Under the roadside chestnut branches,
Where the midges dance and wood-beei
drone,
Switching the flies from his TANKS and
launches,
Stands the old stage-horse, poor old Roam
Broken and blown,
Word to the bone!
Turned out 10 nibble and starve alone!
Ten years ago he had a master
Who petted, caressed, and fed him well;
Few on the road were gayer or faster
Than Thoroughbred Roam, whose story
tell;
But one day be fell
In Stony-brook dell
An, then HIS master wanted to sell!
Proud as Hotspur, proud Judge Gavin
swore as the roam limped home from his
fall,
Never would he drive a horse with spawn,
Nor let him stand in the Morgan stall;
Be price great or small,
Nag, spawn and all,
Should go at the highest bidders call!
Jehu, the furieus driver, bought him
~ AHNNo wan a WI NAACo't hhoNA-hACSN
hack;
And the lessons this new owner taught
him,
Were the lash, hard work, and an empty
rack;
Twas crackl crack! crack!
Big load, heavy track
Twenty miles every day, twenty and back.
Year after year, in all kinds OF weather,
Pulling the red coach over the road;
Driven at full speed many hours together,
Worried and hurried with oath and goad !
Ifit rained or showed,
Heavier the load,
And always: "Glang there! You lazy old
toad!'
Ten years of hard fare, ,foaming and freezing;
Ten years of toll in sun, snow and rain;
Wind-galled ,knee-sprung, lame, and wheez-
ing,
And the old fellows free as a colt again;
Yes, free, with his pain
Ofspavin and spraih,
To pick up q living in Thistleturf Lanei
So meath the roadside chestnut branches,
Where the midges dance and wood-bees
drone,
Switching the files from his fanks and
launches,
Broken and blown,
Worn TO the bone,
Turned out 10 nibble and starVe alone!

FEBRUARY 18th, 1872.
Having been a resident Of Seneca
CouRty for about forty-five years, and
for the last two months have been re-
siding in AekIey, thought a few
items in respect 10 this place, and the
surrounding country might be inter
esting or serviceaole TO some Of the
many readers Of your excellent
paper.
Ackley is situated one mile west of
the northeast corner, on the north
line Of Hardin Co, Iowa, and has
about 1870 Inhabitants, four ware
houses, two large grain elevators, one
steam grist mill Ithas two railroads,
one the Illinois Central, running from
Dubuque to Sioux City, the other the
Iowa Central, leading from ST. Louis,
No, TO Minneapolis, Mimi, and
has fair prospects Of two more within
two years. The four counties sur
rounding it-Hariin, Grundy, Butler
and franklin are as good counties of
land, supplied with as good water,and
as good a supply Of timber, building
stone and coal, as any other four
counties in northern Iowa.
Aekley is now seven years old, and
with her present railroad facilities, and
those in prospect, and her good sur
roundings, is destined, at no distant
day to be one Of the first business in
land towns in the fertile, healthy and
prosperous state ofIows-
1t is a proven fact that the State Of
Iowa is good for growing all kinds oi
fruit, peaches excepted in the north.
ern part. Land here is good and
cheap. Unimproved Land can be
bought in the above named eountis:

written to induce any one to com,
here, but have simply stated matters
as they appear to me.

A scientific journal says: When
nails are used in a position in which
they are greatly subjected to the air
and moisture, it Will always pay TO
prepare them in such a manner that
they will not rust. This may be ae-
complished without any difficulty by
heating a quantity Of nails on a show
el and throwing them while quite hot,
into a vessel containing coarse oil OF
melted grease. The nails should not
be so hot that the grease will be made
to smoke freely. Cut nails prepared
in this manner are improved in every
respect.

AID the Lawyers.

To ne Editor Of ne Commercial;
see that Francis Vincent, is candidate for
Mayor Of the City of Wilmington. Please allow
me to say one word At the last session Of the
Legislature Of the State Of Delaware, wished
TO have pill drawn up, to present 70 the Legis-
State. went to nearly every prominent lawyer
service. Some said they had families to
draw such bill. was worth $780, and they would
not do it. plead to them the suffering Of the
insane in vain they said the drawing OF such a
bill would take a week, and they could not lose
the time. One gentleman after explaining TO me
the difficulty and length Of time 1t would take to
draw up such bill. said he would do it without
compensation II he thought IL would be passed
but he did not believe that il would be. Finally
l called on Francis Vincent he agreed TO do 1t
but begged me to try them again, as he doubted
his ability. The lawyers still declining, l again
called on Francis Vincent, who drew up the bill,
and presented it to the Legislature. The law
yere who read II were astonished at its correct
ness, and when told them he was the Historian
Of Delaware :" they said Eyes but that took q
different kind Of talent" Mr.. Whitley who
carefully examined it did not alter single werd.
It passed through two readings before the
Legislature, but failed to pass finally, owing to
the lateness Of the session
have always found Francis Vincent ready to
assist in every humane work, and spend his time
and influence for that purpose.
l should like the citizens of Wilmington to
elect somebody to office who WAS willing TO dc
something good, withou: always being paid out
OF the public money for it. @. MCCLEEs.
