HAWLEYVILLE f
Perhaps, gentle leader, you do not know
where Hawleyville is. "No? Well, it's your
own fault, for she is right where she always
has been, and has never tried to Skulk nor
hide herself. Hawleyville is built on one of
the oldest and ripert sections of land in North
America. It is built on what is known as
made land, so is a port ion ot Chicago, the only
difference being that Chicago land has niostof
it been made duiing the last decade, is a
change from the original plan and is made
from banana peels, broken-down hoop skirts,
cigar stumps, corks, and street sweepings in
general. What the Ilawleyville land was or
lginally made from is a question that has puz
zled, mystified and paralyzed the minds of
theological and geological students and deep
thinkers in general for ages, but unlike the
Chicago hind, it seems to he an indisputed fact
that it was made during the same week and
from the same material that the celebrated
and seemingly indostructible great Eocky
mountain ranges were, and this land bas been
slowly maturing and settling down to bed
rock and a solid basis tor thousands of years,
so wben we speak of ilawleyville, we always
refer to her solid and stable foundations, and
not to the temporary destructible structures
erected from time t a time above them. Just
think what lias transpired in the world around
since the foundations of Hawleyville were
laid. Slie ante-dates the Pyramids ot Egypt
and the great Chinese wall, Pompeii and Her
culaneum, tire rise of Baker's Furniture Busi
ness and the tall ot the Horn an empire, Bel
shazzar's feastand the hand writing on the
wall, the birth of Columbus and the first Con
necticut river shad, would be comparatively
fresh entries in her diary, as would also the
lite and death struggles of Lydia Pinkham and
Julius Ca;sar. Jt she could speak she would
mention as but the happenings of yesterday
the flood and the wanton destruction of En
glish toa in Boston harbor. She could have
given Adam and Eve valuable pointers on
'what I know about the early days of suc
cessful gardening," and could point to the
time whea the running of railroad trains was
even more detrimental to the interests ot the
traveling public than is the present schedule
on the Berkshire Division. The noble red
men of the forest shot down the bison and the
bear, built their council fires and signal
mokes, jerked their venison and roasted the
pale faced captiveon theseffame grounds, and
the smoke from hundreds ot tepees curled
heavenward from among her stately forest
trees. The great frog and tadpole pond north
ot Ilawleyville was undoubtedly the half-way
supply station on the main trail between the
fertile elam banks ot Long Island sound and
the great muskrat hatcheries of the North.
When the foundations ot Hawleyville were
laid, Mark Anthony had never heard of Cleo
patra, and George Washington had never been
called upon to choose between a lie and awol
loplng, and so on ad-inflnitam. We claim tor
Hawleyville an antiquity deserving ot public
acknowledgement an t recognition. That she
will become famous some day is beyond
question. The two great and -growing indus
tries of the place now are Baker's furniture
business anil the equally successful polly wog
hatcheries in the great north frog ponds.
Baker's furniture establishment is no w so well
known lroin one side of the state to the oth
er that it needs no mention, but the pollywog
hatcheries are really wonderful. They are
located near the Shepang car shops and em
brace some three acres of land and water and
musk rat-built islands. The nutritious quali
ties of the water, its temperature, the altitude
and everything else here at Hawleyville seems
to be just right tor the successful birth and
propagation ot pollywogs. The layers are
wonderfully productive, and we venture to
say that one lull grown native layer ' can,
when she feels like it, lay eggs enough in one
night to almost stop navigation in any slug
gish or tidewater stream of onfy a lew lath
oms' debth, aud we can produce- pollywogs
enough in one good warm July week to stock
fairly well every .river, irrigating ditch and
laguna in the great state of Texas. We will
tell you moro of Hawleyville anon, but we are
too busy to write often. Call and see us when
you visit Hawleyville.

GILES COREr'3 DREAM.
A BALLAD SUrrOSED TO BE WRITTEN IN 1GS,
(The following ballad was read at the Cen
tennial ceieDration in lmnvers, aiass. it was
written by rilch Poole, Ksq.J
Giles Corey lay in Salem Gaol
A Stubborn Wizzard he;
Dame Corey slumbered by his side, .
A guilty Witch was she,
And as they lay, one Sunday morn, ,
All In their place of Shame,
Giles Corey had a troubled Dream, ,
And told it to his Dame.
"My Good wife dear, I've dreamed a Dream,
- All through ye livelong Night,
And Coming Things were shewn to me,
In Vision clear and blight.
I dreamed a Hundred Tears were past,
And Sixty more were gone,
And then I stood a living Man
Alas : I stood alone : -
I was among strange Phantoms there, "
No living soul I knew
And you will hardly wonder Dame,
Twas Eighteen Fitty-Two."
Quoth She, "Dear Giles, what did you see
In that far distant Daye?
Your dreaming Thoughts I long to hearc.
Come tell me now I pray."
"My Dear Goodwyfe, I'll tell my Dream,
"If you will patient heare,
How Specters strange did stare at me.
And loudly laugh and jeere.
At length a ghost ot pleasant mieu
Did listen to my Story;
I sayed, I'm called a Wizzard Man,
My name is Goodman Corey.
I told bim I was doomed to Dye
By hanging or by Pressing;
The mode it all depended on
My silence or confessing."
"In Salem Village once," he sayde,
"Such deeds they did allowe.
That dark Delusions had its Daye,
And men are wiser now. -
"You stand," sayde ho, "upon ye spot
So sadly known to Fame;
No longer is it Salem called.
But Dan vers ists Name."
"Aha!" sayde I, ('twas m my Dream,)
I'll see this altered Place,
I long at once to look upon
This boasted wiser Race.
I traveled North to Blind Hole Swamp,
The Fields were brignt and gay;
From Skelton's Neck to Brooksby's Vale,
I then pursued my Way.
As on I roitmed in eager Haste,
With anient Hope and wishlull,
Too soon I founde my wandering Feet
Quite in ye Devil's Dishtulle.
Here Goblins came, and I must own
At first in Terrour bounde me;
I spake them fair and bade them come
Aud gather quick around me.
Full soon I saw that I had come
Amongst a Kace ot Witches;
For every Man I looked upon
Was destitute of Breeches;"
"Fye, Oh Fye," sayde Goodey Corey,
(And sharply spake ye Dame)
"That you should look upon them thiu ,
I blush for very shame."
'Pray heare me out, impatient Wyte,
For know these Wizzard Coons
Although they had no breechsson, -Were
clothed with Pantaloons. .
And ah, how queer ye women looked,
T would waken your Compassion'
To see what awkward Clothes they wore,
So strangely out of Fashion.
I looked upon ye Antient Men
No toothless gums had they
Their aged Heads were never bald
Their Hair was seldom gray."
Now Martha Corey spake aloud,
With most indignant Frown
"I don't believe a word you saye
About this Danvers Townee
Her Goodman sayde, with quiet Tone, '
(A pleasant speech had he,)
"Remember, Dame, I Dreamed of this.
It thus appeared to me.
I saw a man pull all.his Teeth,
It took bim but a minute ;
He oped his Mouth and Put them back
I thought the deuce was in it!
A limping Man had lost a Leg,
A wooden one had he;
To tell which leg the man'had lost
Was quite too much for me. -r
I saw a man cut off a Limb, "
The Surgeon's knife all gory,
But yet the Patient felt no paine "
"Tis False!" sayde Goody Corey.
"Twas in my Dream I saw it. Dame,
I saw hiaii take ye Stitches,
And then I knew I'd fell among
A race of real Witches.
I met a man who'd lost an Eye
And chose to have another
He bought one at ye nearest Shop, """
Just like ita living brother.
I had a raging Tooth to draw,
(To yon twill seem a Fable)
I went to sleep and then awoke,
And fouud it on ye Table."
"I don't believe a word you saye,"
Sayed faithless Goody Corey
"Just show this Molar Tooth to me, ' ,
And I'll believe your story-"
Quoth Giles unto bis Wyfe againc,
" Tis thus to me it seems ;
How often have I told you, Dame,
Twas in ye Land of Dreams.
I looked upon this Wizzard Race
With still increasing wonder,
They drew ye lightnings from ye Skies.
And bottled np ye Thunder.
They carried news by Lightning Teams,
Made portraits with ye Sun,
Used Cotton for their Gunpowder,
To Charge ye sporting Gunn.
A magic Substance they have founde,
And some ingenious Lubber
Makes every thing (save Consciences)
Of Patent India Rubber.
To light their Homes with flaming Air
The elements they torture;
And hopes to get by taking Paine's
Their Candle Light from Water.
I told them thai to see the World
I had a strong Desire ' v
They took me off in Vapory Cloud .
And Chariott of Fire!
Full forty Miles an Hour they go,
By power of nought but Steam;
And Ships with Wheels go swift" "Tis false !'
Sayde Goody with a scream.
Quoth Giles : "Remember, Goodwyfe,
Tis a prophetic gleam ,
I do not speak my waking thoughts.
I only tell my Dream. .
I pondered on those Sorceries
And thought them Witchcraft SlnnaT
But marvelled why, like witchcraft now,
They did not prick with Pins.
I saw those Wlzzards gather round,' .
To listen to a Tapping,
In wide mouthed Wonder swallow all
.The Witchery of Rapping;
Oh, What a Miracle Sublime!
It shews the World's advance,
When Spirits leave their bright abodes
To u.ake a table dance !
To nave this awful Mystery solv'd "
Perhaps they may be able
The faith, that will a Mountain move
Can doubtless move a Table.' .
Amazed I saw how calm they were
With all this spirit rising;
They only called these Magio Arts
A kind ot Magnetizing.
So none for Witchcraft met ye Fate
Of Pharioh's luckless Baker,
Nor did they seek to drive or scourge -A
Baptist or a Quaker.
I gat me quick to Gallows "Till,
That fearful place to see,
Where Witches are condemned to Hang
; High on ye Gallows Tree. .
I only saw two Shadowy Forms,
OrSpecterai Goblins rather;
One seemed like him of Cloven Foot,
The ottier-j-Cottou Mather.
I thought to see ye Gibbet there.
The Ladder mounted high,
The Rope suspended from ye Beam,
For those condemned to Dye.
I marvelled much that there I founde
The Sod was smoothe and bare,
No mounds of freshly shoveled Earth,
So Grove of Locnst there.
Amazed I stood and looked around.
The Grass was living irreene.
Afar I saw ye deep blue Sea;
A City lay between. ;
I went Into a Dwelling nouse
I ransacked every Room,
I could not find a Spinning Wheel,
Nor yet a Weaver's Loom.
They had no Snuffers on ye Shelf;
1 he Dressers, too. had flowne:
No Pewter Plates, well scrubbed and neat.
in order brightly shone.
No Settle by ye Kitchen Fire.
No Sand upon ye Floor,
And when I asked for Tinder Box
In Laughter they did roar.
I went Into another Houm
The Fireplace was a Box ;
I looked within, aud there I founde
The Fuel only Rocks!
Aud wben I asked lor Mug of Flip,
No Loggerheads were seen.
Hut in ye Place of Worship neare
Were Loggerheads I ween.
I walked into this Meeting house
Just as the Psalm was read;
The Parson had no Surplice on.
No Wig upon his Head.
I saw no trace of Sounding Board,
No Hour Glass had they there.
To prove ye Sermon two Hours long.
And measure ofT the prayer.
No Chorister with tuning Fork,
No Tythiugman so grim.
Nobody in ye Deacon Seat
To Deacon ofT ye Hymn.
But see within that Sacred House,
That place lor humble Prayer,
Averted looks, and bitter Scorn,
And jarring Sounds are there!
Ah me! to see ye stubborn Will,
The cold and formal Dealing,
The stern Repulse, ye Needless Pang,
The lack of Christian Feeling!
I asked a Shade Why is it thus,
That Men in Wilful Blindnease,
Are pledged to Total Abstinence
From Milk of Human kindness:'
Wny have they not the Gospel here
Its gentle Spirit breathin' ?"
"Alas '." Quoth he (and shook his head)
"Thej 've sent it to ye Heathen."
Methought I saw two Shining Ones ,
In robes of Heavenly Light,
Their Names they sayde, were Faith and Hope,
And Tears bedimmed their Sight.
They mourned a Loving Sister gone,
Her brighter Light had vanished ;
"Ah why?" sayde they, "Should we remain
When Charity is Banished!"
I turned away with saddened Thoughts,
And pensive Feelings ledd,
And sought ye Place where living Dust
Soon mingled with ye Dead.
I looked upon ye Hillocks greene
The Winds were sweeping o'er.
And Ghostly Shadows flitted bye, .
Of Forms beheld before.
Remembered names were sculptured there
On many an Antient Stone;
And One 1 aaw, well grown with Moss;
I looked it was My Own.
Alas ! It soon flashed o'er me then
That my dream was not what it seemed,-
For all at once I then awoke.
And pondered on my Dream."
FIRST-CLASS SLOADS.
Where, oh! Where are our "first-class roads?'
Where, oh! where, can they be?
With sides cnt short and ruts cut long.
As every man can see!
Where, oh ! where, are all our roads?
The "third-class," none can see,
There're full of snakes, frogs and toads,
Where all are "having a spree."
The roads, and the men are sinking down,
The roads, are the deep sea.
The McGlnty's are deep In old salt town,
Where all "old fogies" enould be.
