WESTERN RESERVES CENTENNIAL.
The Boston Herald has an interest
ing report Of the celebration last week
of the founding of the Connecticut
Land Company, under whose auspices
just a century ago a band Of settlers
went out under Moses Cleveland to
found the Western Reserve. as eight
years before a band of Massachusetts
farmers had gone out under Gen. Rufus
Putnam TO found Marietta. A large
delegation of Ohio men. including the
Governor of Ohio. the Mayor of Cleve-
land. and other leading citizens took
part in this celebration. which is the
first of a series of celebrations by
which. during the year. the Western
Reserve will recognize its centennial.
While Connecticut was thus cele-
braung it's relations to Ohio. there was
held in Worcester Mass. meeting
to commemorate the part taken by
Massachusetts in the settlement of
Ohio. Mr.. Edwin d. Mead gave an adj
dress on "Washington's Work in the
Opening of the Great West" connect
ing it with the pioneer efforts Of Gen.
Putnam and his associates. A new
impetus was given at this time to the
effort to forward the Putnam memorial
at old Rutland, which has been called
"the cradle of Ohio" This movement
to secure the Putnam homestead and
make it a permanent historical centre
has been strongly indorsed and has
already resulted in the raising of 5000
of the $4,000 required 1t is expected
thar the Putnam memorial will be ded-
icated some time during the year. free
from debt. with an address by Senator
Sherman or some other eminent
OhiOan.

BOOKS.


Ye who W0EId mankind froo
From ignorance profound
Must first be bound
a seeming paradox
on are me migic Key
That never locks.
Released from clamps and letters
You sand but never walk.
Though you can't talk
In Russia or Morocco,
You circulate your letters
About sirocco
Or any other topic.
For goat or calf or sheep
Are seldom cheap,
Though nothing more than skin,
If contents philosophic
Be found within.
Your notes are lined and spaced,
Your letters are in style,
Yet some a smile
Provoke when seen in scraps
In diamond. pearl and paste
AT once perhaps.
Whatever your opinion
OF men, events and things,
You have, like kings
OF past and present ages,
Your titles, subjects, minion,
And also pages.
Though you have been hard pressed,
Were once reduced TO rags,
He makes no brags
Who says you may be sold.
If you with thoughts are blest.
For crowns of gold.
In weather foul or fair
Upon the ocean ship,
on every trip,
Though thinner than a Ylapk
Your leaves a log may bear
If you are blank.
When placed in pews of buyers.
Though stained with gilt, your airs
Move us to prayers;
And when the numbers slim
Your stationery quires
Provide a hymn,
You learning without stint
lmpart on liberal terms
To all book worms;
On literary hacks
Once giving them the hint,
You turn your backs.
Uncut or marble-edged.
Long live the printed page
Whose counsel sage
Is found between the covers.
To you a health is pledged
By all book lovers.
