PREFACE.
A happy new year to all !
This fourth volume of the Bristol County Directory is presented with many thanks for the patronage of our friends, and all favors towards its production. We sincerely hope it may be appreciated by the people, for whose benefit we have labored, as well as for our own interest and enjoyment. In some instances we have lost hundreds of dollars on such a work, besides our time and care. Do the people understand this? If such a loss should come from some useless speculation, we could claim little sympathy on account of it; but in an enter- prise so uscful and valuable to the public, our claims are different.
Our last volume was partially destroyed by the great fire in Boston, together with all our printing material. Our Directories of several towns in Essex County were wholly destroyed when nearly printed, and had to be canvassed and printed over again.
In reporting all branches of business we try to be generous and impartial ; but our patrons are deserving of much extra praise and public favor, for they are the endorsers and supporters of the work.
Sometimes we report certain kinds of business we would never engage in our- selves under any circumstances. But our readers and patrons should judge of such things for themselves. We may advise, but never dictate. We take only such liberty as belongs to all men. Our "Director" has expressed some ideas worthy of respect. The practical suggestions may seem, to certain critics, out of place in poetry. For our own part we prefer such substantial sentiments to mere poetical fustian. We would have added a stanza against tobacco and another against sectarian folly. All Christians should be united with the dear Jesus as their head on earth, with no crecd to hamper their consciences. How- ever, perhaps this would not be good for poetry.
In regard to the history, it should be stated that Gen. Peirce has furnished all except that of Taunton and New Bedford, which we have extracted from the beautiful sketches published lately in the Boston Daily Globe.
We have sent three times to Fall River for lists of city officers, and at last one of the editors kindly sends his printed list, which is inserted, although a fuller list would have been better. Several names received too late for insertion un- der the headings will be found in the Town Registers.
Finally, with a most polite bow, we turn away to other works, and bid you all adieu. PRINTERS AND FUBLISHERS.
PROEM.
BY THE DIRECTOR.
Once more the new-born year descends-
Pale sunshine with dark shadows blends ; Once more the gifts of life and joy Come fraught with gold, but much alloy- Thanks for the good, and strength in life Be ours to bear the toil and strife.
When Summer smiled and gales were bland And gentle showers refreshed the land, And birds and flowers, and wood and wave Felt the glad impulse nature gave, If wise and frugal, from the earth, All tried to store for winter's dearth.

PROEM.
The anvil's ring, the shuttle's sound, . Now fill the air and echo round ; The school house sends a bustling crowd Of hopefuls forth, wild, blithe, and loud ; And busy life the season crowns Spite of its cold and cruel frowns.
How fare ye friends since last we met? Full many suns have risen and set, And fire and flood have-here and there, Brought woe to some-to me a share ; And death has often come and left Our hearts and homes of love bereft.
Ingratitude has oft, I know, Our bosoms chilled like Winter's snow ; The clutch of foe or rival wretch, Barely within the law's wide stretch, Has stung our human hearts perchance, As poverty and age advance.
Oh ! hard to bear the harrowing thought, That knaves are oft to honor brought, And loaded with the pelf besoiled, Of which their neighbors have been spoiled ! Yet consciousness of merit cheers A worthy life, and sweetens tears.
We cannot quite admire this plan, But yet forgive poor erring man,- Our hearts and hopes of earlier life Preserve amid the unholy strife, And sail along toward the main, Fearless of age, and want, and pain.
Be it our aim, in word and deed, To live for others good, to feed And clothe our little ones, and teach Them all the lore within our reach,- To pay for labor what is just, Nor wrong the friends who in us trust.

PROEM.
If that is not a poet's line, "Tis good, and goodness is divine. Forget not ye, who would excel In works, the great centennial ! Your hand, eye, ear, and inmost soul Now nerve for conquest-win the goal !
Our noble soldier, surely he Will match the world for gallantry- Well I remember one, whose fame Our patriots for Bristol claim, Whose war-left hand now wields the pen, The moral weapon of brave men.
The next grand jubilee, Our childrens' childrens' sons may see, Ere then what change ! but freedom here Is quite secure-the wise did fear In our young days, when slavery's thrall Humbled the weak, and palsied all.
There is another fiend, called RUM ; I would his overthrow had come. Woe, woe to those who lie and fight, For such a shame, the nation's blight ! For gain, the press, nay e'en the saints, Oft wink at rum with few complaints.
Corruption in the state must fall- 'Tis treason, "blot it out," cry all Save the foul "rings"; let none remain To curse our race, and to enchain, In later times, and sell, for gold, Their liberty, as Rome was sold.
"Short tenures" is a principle To be esteemed and held by all ; The machinations, schemes and plots Of demagogues are in their thoughts, And ripen in their lengthy terms ; Prevent their growth, destroy the germs.
5
PROEM.
So shall the nation live and thrive, And working bees-best in the hive,- Shall all enjoy with happy cheer, The sweets of peace and plenty here. One only further hope I'll note- The ladies, our own peers, should vote.
Will not our youth these notions heed? For many read but fun, and feed Their souls with frothy tales untrue And full of doubtful morals too. O, change your course, keep to the right, In science and in truth delight.
For Wisdom's ways are ways that bless ; "Virtue alone is happiness."
No vicious habits learn while young ; Be studious, neat, and guard the tongue ; Honor old age, be kind to fools- These things are taught by all the schools.
