Magnolia Dell. what hand, I wot.
Did plant thee on that lovely spot?
Thy floral wreaths so pure and sheen,
And streamlets decked IN living green,
Add loneliness to every nook.
On grassplot, glen and sparkling brook.
Along its way in merry glee.
On flows the placid Muckalee,
With bank bedecked with Towering
beach.
That sends aroma down the reach,
Where tickle youths together sat
And Oft on tickle subjects chat.
How Oft In summers sultry hours,
l sat beneath thy shady bowers.
And caught the music OF the birds,
Whose strains. altho' not set 10 words,
Yet steal my senses al away
And bid my soul TO humby say
Praise God from whom all blessings
flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below"

throwing explosives into the water, which
went off with report as loud as the sa-
Lutte from a gunboat. AS he proceeded
down, the balconies were filled. When
the performer reached the Exchange dock
he halted and fired several shots, which
brought forth more spectators to the bal
comics. The performers wife circulated
among the crowds that could be reached
