To the author of the above neatly turned
compliment, whose initials-F. 81 am per-
| mitted to use, and to all who have inspected
| our mills, mines, furnaces and partaken of
Pittsburgs hospitality. would say:
To ye from England's mines and mills,
To ye from German fires,
A parting cup old Pittsburg fills
A bumper to our sires.
Your kindly words of unsought praise
Shall not. like flattery, perish:
We trust that in the coming days
You'll still our mem'ry cherish.
You are the judges of our worth;
Go forth and tell the story.
Speak SO the nations of the earth
Will marvel at our glory.
Tell them how Nature gen'rous, true,
Has yielded up her treasure
Wealth for the many. not the few,
Nor stinted is her measure.
We say Adieu- God bless you all!
Meath any flag. DER any sea,
So long as Vulcan's fires enthrall
Wen firmly forge our destiny.
