THE men of Iron and of Steel, the men of the

delightful days in Pittsburg. have departed.
The guests were men who are best calculated
to pass upon our advantages, resources, present
prospects and future hopes. What they have
said and will say will undoubtedly be of the
greatest benefit to Pittsburg. But apart from
this it is pleasant to, know that the visitors
from over the say leave Pittsburg with regret
and carry away most pleasant recollections.
One of the distinguished of the English
visitors has permitted me to use the following
which shows exactly how they all feel toward

A FAREWELL.


Farewell, Pittsburg. ere we 90
From this merry meeting,
Wise and simple. high and low.
Here we send you greeting,
Strangers yesterday we came,
But as friends you met us,
And as friends we'll think of you
Always if you'll let US.
You have men of steel and iron,
Brethren. too, are we,
Proud indeed to own your kindred
From beyond the sea.
We are men of Steel and Iron,
But the tie that binds US
Is the dear old motherland
We have left behind usl
You can work with flame and forge,
But such arts are mating
With sllyery eloquence
Rich and captivating!
Carnegie. your Iron King,
Worthy of his place is
Master Of a hundred arts
Who can count his gracesl
In a hearty, friendly way
You have cheered and fed Us,
Round about yorr wondrous works
You have safely led US.
We have wandered in your streets
Sailed upon your river
Marveled at your natural gas"
May it last forever!
Seen your weird and watchful fires
In the darkness blazing.
Leaping up and flaming high,
Wonder most amazing!
Fiery spirit OF the earth
Chained to do your willing.
Servant of Aladdin's lamp
All commands fulfilling.
Farewell Pittsburg! She shall lead
Chief of iron cities!
If we had not seen her might
'Twere Thousand pities.
Stress and struggle, flame and blaze
Be crown upon her,
In the land that is our home
We shall give her honor!
