dearly prize the beautious flowers
You send from day to day,
And sigh to think such loneliness
Should eyer know decay.
There's sadness in their beauty
We know twill soon be DER
A day, an hour, and then, alas!
1t charms tho eye no moro.
Say, would wo love tho fragrant flowers,
And cherish them as we'll
If they could bloom thro' winters SHOWS
In vale and quiet dell?
Could mortals alteration give
To objects not divine,
To Flora they might humbly bow,
And worship at her shrine.
Why is it that the lovely things
OF earth must fade and die,
and be as though they had not boon,
And so, forgotten lie?
But love, the fairest flower of earth,
Unclasps its tendrils never,
And through eternity it blooms.
Forever and forever!
Oh, may your life a garland be
OF bright. unfading flowers,
Sweet hope, and love, with JOY to bless
And cheer its fleoting hours!

To be married in Milwaukee, on the 18th, inst, Miss Fannie E. West to Perry Williams, all of Milwaukee. Do you ask why that event
 should interest the readers of the Enquirer Although the bride elect is not native of Litchfeld, yet her father is, and young as she is she has achieved that which makes her worthy of distinction. Three years ago, when scarcely nineteen years of age, she was gradu- ated from Madison University, with high honors being Valedictorian of her class, Glass President, and receiving the Louis Prize for the best essay. As that University is for both
 sexes, she has proved that, given the same ad-
 vantages. ladies can hold their own with male competitors. She has not been content with merely receiving, but has tired to do her part in imparting knowledge, and for three years hoo tonsht in tho Eth ward of Milwaukna, ho
 side playing the organ each Sunday in one of their churches. So many young ladies are willing to pass their lives doing a little en- broidery, or spending their time in frivolous pursuits that when we see one willing to be useful when circumstances do not compel her to be, we feel justified in making a note of it.

As usually has been the case, so this year also many went over to the Watertown Fair. Our enterprising stageman, Mir. Austin, is ever ready to convey passengers when anything extra is going oD, and on this occasion took over number of loads. Yet however great our attendance there it was far surpassed by our peoples turn out to the fair at Harwinton on Tuesday, the Eth inst. In addition to the large number who went on foot, or by private conveyance, MT. Austin carried half hun others but for lack of teams. As the people of Harwinton always hold their Fairs somewhere from the 1st to the 10th, of Oct, they almost invariably have the benefit of pleasant weather for their gatherings, which appear to grow in popularity each succeeding year. It is said that our townsnan, Moses Scott, exhibited some very fine vegetables at the Watertown Fair: his squashes especially being the lagrest on exhibition there one of them weighing con- siderably over one hundred pounds.
 On Sunday. the 5tf, triple exchange of ministers took place. In the forenoon the Rev. Mir. Hillard of the Center church preached at Northfeld, and in the evening at Terryville. The Rev. Mir.

 the upholders of right and peace had won the
 victory by se majority, only % less than that of last year, and that too in the face of the most stubborn opposition and the vilest false heods and calumniations. The democratic ticket, with the exceptions of the minority rep resentations, was elected throughout. a'
