John needs no introduction to Oxford
County people. "a good day and a
good track" as the horsemen say. A
fine time, good dinner, but a small
company. The table was presided over

drop of aboriginal fluid in our veins that
impels our love for natures beauties
We do not envy others the sights at st.
Louis, but for me, give me the hills.

What though we Worship them. as homage due
To these, Gods monuments. from me and you!

Defying time when storms and tempests rage;
What rapt'rous tales these mountains might
unfold
OF ages, dates, and mysteries untold.
OF men and races which have come and gone,
And left no dates to strew the way along,

OF pigmies dwarfed, or that of giant men,
OF castles grand, of science and Of art,
or corp'rate greed to cru an the human heart;
Or, b tier still, of loves and holy fire
When toiling nun was worthy of his hire.
All yes, love these hills. these giant hills.
The woods. the trees. and ever running riils;
And when lfe's Atful journey here shall end,
For natures boone We ever Will contend.

while Mr.. Tilton read aloud poem from
