IEULOGY ON BURLINGTON

~ DIR.
F.Q. Loveland Of Grand Isle recently
ing eulogy on Burlington, which Is OF pa
which three quarters of a century have II
Fair Burlington IL a noble town,
A nourishing village Of great renown.
Here are merchants rich. and traders too'
And hrst rate mechanics not few
Their institution here gains great praise
Well monument to their honor raise;
We can praise them all without much
blarney.
And give great credit to Mr.. varney.
OF lawyers here we've a goodly NUMBER
And justices good who seldom slumber.
And. which is their greatest beauty
When In court they do their duty.
They are wide awake when in their place.
And none are wrong'd who get tl.eir case
But II the case Is fairly lost
And the plaintiff left to nay the cost,
The Justice must scotch blessing" take
And soon his peace with the plaintiff
make.
With doctors here we are well supplied,
And some of them are too poor to ride,
While others are rich from fortunes
gain'd
When great characters they maintain'd.
A fine Druggist shop we've here,
Which IL kept by Peck & Spear.
And there 10 kepf large supply.
Where Doctors all can 60 and buy.
We've ministers here Of many denomina-
lions.
Who generally preach to large consre-
cations.
They all support the temperance cause,
And that has gain'd them great applause.
We've college here fiourishing we'll.
AS people all do generally tell,
And college students half a score,
And every year Is adding more.
All arts and sciences they patronize.
And give no conccit to the wise.
But walk In n meek and humble style.
And keep their characters free from
guile.
Views seminary well conducted.
Kept In an edifice we'll constructed:
There young ladies' spend their time.
And soar their thoughts quite sublime.
A custom house here we have complete,
With smuggling trade to defeat,
With of1ccrs true to their trust.
Who never do wrong except they must.
This Is the shire town Of the county,
And for good order should have bounty.
We've q new Jail Just completed;
| Now brave Nick he's defeated;
Breaking prison has been his game,
| And by that he has rais'd his fame
Among a class Of wicked men.
Who In prison are doom'd to den.
Steamboats, now we'll bring to view,
And pay respect to all their crew;
Their captains and owners, men Of sense,
Are saving us all from great expense.
We've mariners a respectable number
Who bring to our shore both wood and
| lumber.
And carry our freight far away.
Exposing themselves both night and day
We've builders here who build complete
And finish their work all fine and neat
To shield US from the pelting storms,
When old surly winter comes.
Our glass works here fast are gaining,
Their former credit are maintaining;
Glassware all Of choice kind
| In their storehouSe now we md.
The best Of taverns here are found,
Where luxuries rare often abound;
! Where stages. stage agents, and drivers
all,
Find good home whenever they call.
The Pearl street house is the first W,
! name,
Men Of learning have rais'd its fame:
1t near the altar Of learning stands,
And the college members are its friends
The American too Is a civil place,
Where the best can call without dis
grace:
The landlord there is as still as a mouse
While he keeps good order through hi
house.
Towards. too, is near the square,
And men Of rank are calling there.
The landlord is funny and full Of wit,
And always ready to give a good hit.
Next, the Exchange down near the lake
That's good house. there's no mistake
The landlords civil and pleasant man
And accommodates all the best he can
The Irish Tavern. a resort for all
There hosts Of travellers do often call,
They find a home and take their rest,
And their fare is cheap. II not the best
There's Jenners tavern slick and neat,
Where all things are servd complete
