other duties. Therefore the mistresses employ
competent women to keep their parlors in order.

Sweetheart, goodbye! The f~uttering sail
Is spread to watt me far from thee.
And soon before the favoriug gale
My ship shall bound across the sea.
Perchance all desolate and ~forlorn,
These eyes shall miss thee many a year;
But unforgotten every charm
Though lost to sight to memory dear.
Sweetheart, goodbye! One last embraced!
o cruel fate, two souls to sever!
Yet in this hearts most sacred place
Thou, thou alone, shall dwell forever.
And still shall recollection trace,
In fancy's mirror ever near,
Each smile. each tear, upon that face,
Though lost to sight to memory dear.

Rusted shut with apple juice;
Here. with marbles, top aud string,
is his deadly "devilsling,"
With its rubber, limp at last
As the sparrows of the past!
Observation-Disclosures straps
Bullets and a box of caps,-
Not a thing of all, I guess,
But betrays some waywardness-

Tangled mp with wire and Irvine,
And dead angle-worms, and some
Slugs of lead and c~hewing-gum,
Blent with scents that can but come
From the oil of rhodium.
Here-a soiled, yet dainty note,
That some little sweetheart wrote,
Dotting-'fVine-grows round the stump
And-'My sweetest sugar lump
Wrapped in this-a paddock key
Where he's filed a touch-hole-seel
And some powder in a quill
Corked up with a liver pill;
And a spongy little chunk
Of punk

Where is he we've censured So
Don't you hear us calling, dear!
Back. Come back, and never fear!
You may wander where you will,
Over orchard, field and hill;
You may kill the birds, or do
Anything that pleases you!
All, this empty coat of his!
Every latter worth a kiss!
Every stain as pure instead
As the white stars overhead;
And the pockets-homes were they

Now no more-but, absent, thus

of exhibits.
Yesterday the attendance was large.
the fine, though rather warm weather
serving to bring out Il crowd. The out
look is for the most successful fair. tnan-
cially and otherwise, for many years.
The officers of the society are courteous
and efficient, and to them is chiefly due
the credit of rendering the exhibition
what it is.
As we mus go to press Just as the OK
hibition has fairly opened. the most we
can do this week is to notice few of the
articles shown.
The exhibit of horses is very large. and
Addison county is noted for its fine
horses. Some exhibitors were compelled
to leave stock ut home for want of stalls.
Mr.. Woodbridge of Nergcnncs shows
his Norman Perchcron stations and
mares, though no premiums are offered
for that class. They are in color n
handsome gray. and weigh about l,G00
lbs. each. Though these horses are Il
novelty to our farmers here. they are
common in the West. where they are
highly appreciated. Some fine colts from
Mr.. Battell's horses were shown. and. in
fact. there were many excellent ones
which our limited space prevents us from
mentioning.
Among the cattle we noticed some
handsome Shorthorns, owned by Capt.
+. Moore of Shoreham. They made one
think of the famous roast beef of Old
England as he glanced ut their fat
launches and sleek ribs. Excellent ,Jcr-
seys were also shown. and Geo. +. O.
kimball of Nergcnncs exhibited superior
specimens from his herd of llolstcins.
The sheep exhibit was smaller than
usual in this county, which is the home
of the celebrated Merino sheep. OF
course, those that were on the ground

paintings, embroidericS. drawings, GRO

Yes, but between Its distant abutments the
