FIFTY-TWO.
Reflections bv a Cynte.

BY PAUL HAYNE-
bright is the morn, but am blue.
Alas this day I'm fifty-two.
What can creature say or do
That's joyful at grim fifty -two2
I'm cursed with corns, despite shoe
As old and worn as fifty-two.
Rheumatic arrows pierce me through,
NY backs butt, at fifty-two. .
Where once my unthinned grinders grew,
What dismal gaps at fifty-two!
Stern warnings-ah! how oft-renew
Ny dread of gout at fifty two.
Though all muses. / should sue,
They'd stint their fire TO fifty-two.
Beauty and grace may I'LL my view;
They tempt In vain; I'm fifty-two
Nature! Alack! tbs mountain dew
One prizes most at fifty-two.
Ideals !--pshawl / marvel who
Dotes ON the moon at fifty-two!
Taste! Art! One tries with racier oout
Patos de foie at fifty-two;
Gr oven piquant Irish stew
Just dashed with wine), at fifty
Pass on, o worldl Your false ado
Moves not the phlegrl Of fifty-two.
Your sweets, soon changed TO bitter rue,
Deceive no more at fifty-two.
Come, friend, modest game Of "loo:-
Mid stakes, mild port, at fifty-two.
Diversions not TO flushed Of hue
just suit the nerves OF fifty-two.

IT has been suggested by one of
the heaviest taxpayers of the city,
that the Zinc Co. furnish the city
with crushed and screened stone for
repairing the streets, at stated price
per ton. This the Go. could furnish
cheap, for they have an abundance
of the right kind Of stone which
can be easily qusrried; and it has
the crusher and will have ample
power. If such an arrangement
was made, the hauling should also
be let by contract; the teams would
then get up little motion.

The annual meeting of the South
West Wisconsin Industrial Associa-

A New OUTFIT. T.-Messrs. Vivian
and Spensley haye returned from
Chicago, where they went last week
to purchase engine boilers and iron
for the Zinc Co.'s works, and they
tell us they purchased an entirely y
new outfit, consisting of 60 horse
power Corliss engine, two 60 horse
power boilers, with necessary pumps,
and one of MIR. Argall's heaters;
besides about $4,000 feet of light
b iler iron, to be used in making
tubing to carry the oxide from the
furnaces to the tower, and from
the tower 70 the condensers, hcssrs.
Y. and S. bought the Argall heater
because, after a thorough and un-
biased inquiry, they thought twas
the best. The purpose in buying
two boilers is, that in case of acci-
dent to one boiler, a stoppage for
repairs will not be necessary; also,
if the enterprise pays, rs we all
hope it will, both boilers will prob
ably be needed, for the capacity to
to manufacture will be increased.
The engine, we learn, on being
crowded . little is a 90 horse power;
30 it seems the Co. will have power
enough.

WHAT grand weather we have
been favored with the past ten days
or so. This is a God send to the
husbandman, and in fact everyone.
The hay crop, which is par excel
lenence, has been stacked and stored
away free from rain; rye, wheat and
oats are rapidly ripening for the
sickle, and are estimated as bound
to yield abundantly; corn, the poor
est crop of the year, has taken an
advance step, and farmers fears of
total failure have given way to
hope for reasonably fair crop.
IT'S we'll.

From observations and reports it
seems that the whole community,
near and far, is becoming prominent
ly enthusiastic over the coming fair
to be held in this city. The prem
iums and race purses are so liberal
that every one is beginning to appre-
ciate the officers efforts TO have the
fair second to none in the State, and
helping hand IS being stretched
out from every quarter. Alread the
secretary has the assurance of the
attendance of the biggest stock
raisers and farmers within radius
of many miles, and of race horse
men to greater and better number
than ever before. Should the weather
be anything like favorable we feel
confident, from present outlook, that
a bigger crowd than ever assembled
before at one time anywhere in
Southwestern Wisconsin will be in
Mineral Point fair week.
