So the great sum- majestic pows his way
Through clouds, and storms. and dim eclipse,
And Winters cold and Summers heat,
And nightly dips
His flaming disk in the broad Western seq,
But scatters ligh. and blessing all the day;
Setting, he leaves the world
Richer and better for his light and love,
Warmer, more fertile more benign;
Sets but to rise on other lands, md shine
Forever in the galaxy divine.
The National tribune., 1885-04-30

As TO AnchlSeSs tomb,
With reyerent love, pious Eneas came
Intent, with festal rites,
To crown his fathers fame.
So we, with grateful reverence, come to pay
This loving tribute at the sacred shrine
Where sleeps the patriot bold,
The statesman wise, the martyr-prince,
The peerless man,
And on this shrine our fragrant garlands lay.
The National tribune., 1885-04-30

Heroic statesman, hail.
Thy honored name
With instrument and song we laud,
And poets lays;
Blow every mountain-top and sheltered vale,
And rock and stream
And lisping tongue of infancy and age,
And manhood's prime and womans love,
Combine that honored name to praise.

When from his rocky hight.

Born with q soul of fire,

Patient in toll, and danger, and alarm.

And helped the lowly III that bliss to share.

Great souls can never die:
Death and decays damp fingers
Waste but the mortal
A uobler life spreads its far vista wide,
beyond deaths portal;
Like an uniading light
The life-work fingers.
The hero never dies; statesman and soldier falls,
The nation finds new life,
And prosperous years and wealth and peace,
And hearts 1T rest and grander aims
And righteousness
And souls that dared to be,
just As God made them. free;
And he who falls crushed in the bitter strife,
Lives magnifed, exalted-eYer lives;
Ills work bears fruit immortal

The Iowa County Fair.

Elsewhere in to-day's paper we
print the list of premiums to be
awarded by the Iowa County Agri.
cultural Society, at its thirtieth an.
nual fair to be held at Dodgeville,
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs,
day, Sept. Is, 16 and II. The off,
GERS of the society are putting forth
praiseworthy efforts to make the
coming fair most successful one
and it is to be hoped that the people
throughout the county will heartily
second these efforts. Iowa county
has of late years made rapid progress
in building up her agricultural and
mechanical industries. There is no
other county in Wisconsin that is as
rich in everything that goes to make
up a successful industrial fair, and il
the people of every town in the
county will take the interest that
they should in the coming fair it can
be made grand success. The Iowa
County Agricultural society was or
ganized in June 1856, and the first
fair held Oct.1, of the same year, the
premium list aggregating s138.75.
The society has held annual fairs
ever since that time, and has stead
lily increased in Importance. Very
liberal premiums are offered this
year in all departments, the list hav-
ing been carefully revised by the ex-
ecutive committee. Let every resi-
dent of the county do something to-
wards making the thirtieth annual
county fair true representative OF
our industrial interests.
