Knowlton and Green the former with one OF
Rich's best liquid compasses valued at S4o,and
the latter with handsome silver watch and
chain valued at $35, for uniform poiteness

LONG AGO


Twas spring time, and all nature stirred,
The seasons pulse was young;
On bursting boughs fun many a bird
His careless carol sung.
Beneath the interiacing shade
All wind -swayed to and fro,
A gracious youth and gentle maid
Swore fealty long ago.
The years had passed, the years had flown
Sweet summer filed the air,
There walked within the covert lone
Brave man and matron fair;
And round The u, with jocund glee
There danced, in life's fun glow
A troop of children fair TO see
In days now long ago
Twas autumn next, the year grew pale,
The farmer reaped his grain
Now walking slowly down the dale
Behold the pair again,
Their forms are bent. See in the hair
Some silver touches show;
Childless and sad they wander there
And dream of long ago.
IT'S winter. In the churchyard lone
The snow Les white and fair
Upon the simple mos stone
That hides the aged pair.
They have their rest, lis spring again!
And in Gods land they know
A love not dimmed by age and pain,
Like that of long ago.
