4 Good Resolution,

At a meeting of the Agricultural
Board, on Saturday last, it was re-
solved that the Society put up an Am
pitheatre of sufficient capacity to seat
about 1000 persons. This is certainly
one of the best, and will be THE most
popular Improvement that has been
made to our Fair Ground for some
years, and just the thing needed. Wis
itors will be comfortably and pleas
antly seated at the coming Fair, which
will be a great inducement for many
to attend every day.

A "ovd" to the Town Clock.

In We ancient town of Eaton,
With its paths so smoothly beaten,
And it's hash so cIeanly eaten;
Where busy throngs are meeting,
And each other warmly greeting;
With its sharpers ever cheating,
And its suckers drinking, treating,
And its pleasures ever ieeting,
There is an ancient CLOCK;
Up in the Court House steeple,
Overlooking all the people,
With its faces looking outward,
And its dark hands pointing downward
Pointing to our nome eternal,
To the regions most Internal,
Where our hopes we never center,
And we have no wish to enter
Points this silent, silent clock:
This clock is ever still.
Like an old deserted mill,
Beside the ripping rill,
That bubbles meath the hill:
For run ii never will,
But thro' good report and i'll,
Mid the storm-blasts whistiing shrill,
On TINE it RUNS no bill.
We tired, lazy clock!
Silent witness of the past!
High up amid the blast.
With your hands thus downward cast,
Never running slow nor fast,
Suspended there half-mast,
In solitude so vast,
How long, yet, will you last?
Al the thought we stand aghast!
Ye ancient, fine, large clock!
Ye worthless old dumb clock! .
We never hear you knock.
Firm as Adamantine rock,
Or a culprit in the stock.
YOU'RE a great old solemn brick,
For you never STRIKE nor kick,
Never even heard to click,
For you never go on TICK,
Ye stationary clock!
YeSilent old dumb show,
With your face SO full of woe,
At haif-past six, you know,
To bed we always go;
AT the same hour we rise, also,
And wander to and fro.
Why point you downward SO,
To the regions full of woe,
Where dwelIs our birthstone foe?
Ye dead old cIockP
Why not point you upward, tho'P
For -heavenward we would go:
Then with bosoms all aglow,
Onward, upward we would flow
But downward, mo forJo-
'Seph," ordinary clock?
Oh? ye immortal three
Whoever you may be
Who hold the destiny
Ofthis old clock, o see
With old age how it reels?
How lonely now it feels,
As silence DER it steals?
Get some tar and grease its wheels.
Wind her up, and 'let her rip2"
