my own disappointment was keen in
that I could not spend more time with
them. I hope all who were disappoint-
me longer than I did them.
In passing, let me say a few words of
the impressions made upon me while
try. I was struck by the improvements
made in the old town. There was a
marked change in the buildings, more
comfortable residences and more com-
modious business houses, and more of
them. Salisbury has quite a citified |
look, compared with a decade or more |
ago.

So much for “ye
Another thing that impressed me was
{ the change in public road grades, as for
example at the Abe Thomas hill, the
Jeachy hill and the hill on the Krank
Livengood farm. I was gratified to'see
that the roads now run around these
hills or mount them gradually instead
of going up their steepest sides as of
{ yore. As for the Beachy hill, I had the
| honor, in company with Howard H.
Keim, to establish the grade for the
new road there, in the fall of 1884, so
much for the skill of the engineering
[ firm of Keim & Livengood. That wasa
| piece of work of which I shall always
feel proud. Elk Lick township got its
money’s worth when it hired Kiem &
Livengood to dothat job. Henry Roda-
mer, if I remember rightly, was the
supervisor who engaged us to do the
work. But speaking of road improve-
ments, let me remark that I was pain-
ed to see that the Hurtzrick abomina-
tion of. a public road still remained.

lis little humidity, hence the heat is not
felt so much. We do not consider any-
thing under 90 degrees very warm. The
i sea breeze tempers the atmosohere on
our warm days. Our nights are al-
ways cool. So far as climate goes

| the most favored spois on the globe.

The Reg] lar Army Man.
[Clever Poem by I. A.
Bulletin.]
Joe Lincoln, in
He ain’t no gold-lace “Belvidere,”
Ter sparkle in the sun.
He don’t parade with gny cockade,
And posies in his gun;
He ain’t no “pretty soldier boy,”
So lovely, spick and span,
He wears a crust of tan and dust,
The Reg’lar Army man;
The marchin’, parchin’,
Pipe-clay starchin’,
Reg’lar Army man.
He ain’t at. home in Sunday schodl,
Nor yet at social tea,
And on the day he gets his pay
He's apt to spend it free;
He ain't no temp’rance advoeate,
fle likes to fill the can,
He's kinder rough and maybe tough,
The Reg’lar Army man;
The rarin’, tearin’,
Sometimesswenrin,
Reg’lar Army main.
No state’ll eall him “noble son,”
Ie ain't no ladies? pet,
jut let a row start anywhere,
They’ll send for him you bet!
He don’t cut any ice at all
In fashion’s social plan,
Ife gits a job to face a mob,
The Reg’lar Army man;
The mitlin?, drillin’,
Made fer killin’,
Reg’lar Army man.
They ain’t no tears shed over him
When he goes off ter war,
He gits no speech nor prayerful “preach?”
From mayor or governor;
Ile packs his little knapsack up
And trots off in the van,
Ter start the fight and start It right,
The Reg’lar Army man;
The rattlin’, battlin’,
Colt or Gatlin’,
Reg’lar Army man.
He makes no fuss about the job,
He don’t talk big or brave,
He knows he’s in ter fight and win,
Or help fill up the grave;
He ain’t no “mamma’sdarlin’,”
He does the best he ean,
And he’s the chap that wins the scrap,
The Reg’lar Army man;
The dandy, handy,
Cool and sandy,
Reg’lar Army man.

Shouts of the crowd and ringing cheers,
And feasts and music loud and grand,
And speeches for the victors’ ears;

To hear such welcome to the boys,
While my own boy is missing there.

For, like his comrades, he was brave;
