And him for whom was named the Platte,
Down to the GuSty Adc0cdt.
All. tell us not in festive numbers.
OF pFairies plowed by sunny beams:
OF mines OF wealth dug up in SlumberS,
Or castles built in pleasant dreams.
Twas horny hands the forests sundered
And raised instead these homes unnum-
bered
Changed hauntS that echoed savage
walls
To village dotted hills and wales.
Fain would | write each name in verse,
And trumpet them on every breeze.
Our Rountree's Ramsey's praise rehearse.
Kirkpatrick yarns that please;
OF Holman Hanuum. Richards Hodges
And more who pride they dwelt in lodges
Like foxes holes. half dug in hills,
Whose voices still ring out in power;
And others gone beyond ourills.
Powerless here forever more.
But here leave that hero band.
And turn to men and things less grand;
To village haunts and enterprises.
And kindred thought that thus arises.
In line of general merchandise
cheerful Lewis is the oldest,
The Burrs are wide awake and wise,
And Hyde, he dashes out the boldest ;
Find Howe and Baxter in your walk,
Look in and see their double stock.
You'll find the Nathan's farther down.
And much they've helped improve the
town:
And Oswald, Woolstenh0lme the GO.

Who wanting field for wild, work,
Cut off his further helpto Ian"
And now has gone to help New York.

There's Baldwin. Zeigler-much unlike.
But both like greenbaclls coming In
From Harry, Tom nr DICK or Mike.
There's Pollock. Hough & Co.. and Bell.

sleighS.
OR anything of iron that sells.
And Benn and Brooker. when il pays.

ToSell to any man for cash.

There's Alcorn and our neighbOr Muesse

And ladies get nice pull back tights.

To cross them only makes her crosser
