Thirty and forty at last arrive, And then come fifty, and fifty-five.
1855.
Little of all we value here Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year Without both feeling and looking queer.
In fact, there 's nothing that keeps its youth So far as I know, but a tree and truth.
(This is a moral that runs at large ; Take it. — You 're welcome. — No extra charge.) 22 First or November, — the Earthquake- day. — There are traces of age in the one-hoss- shay, A general flavor of mild decay, But nothing loca...l, as one may say.
23 The beacon's i^JMasterpiece There could n't be, — for the Deacon's art Had made it so like in every part That there was n't a chance for one to start.
For the wheels were just as strong as the thills.
And the floor was just as strong as the sills, And the panels just as strong as the floor.
And the whippletree neither less nor more.
And the back-crossbar as strong as the fore, And spring and axle and hub encore.
And yet, as a whole, it is past a doubt In another hour it will be worn out !
