 ADIEU TO BANTAM MILL.
 BY FANNY slGALLEY.
 The time has come when we must part
 Nor does it little grieve my heart
 To leave my friends in Bradleyvle,
 Likewise old Bantam Paper Mill.
 Adieu. old Bantam MiIl adieu!
 Oft shall weep to think of you;
 But never hope to see thee more
 Until the Jackson times are OCT.
 When Tories cease their great command,
 And Whiggery reigns through all the land.
 I'll then return to Bradleyville,
 And cdll on thee, old Bantam Mill.
 Fresh courage take, my honest friends,
 Nor daunted be by Jackson men;
 And may this Mill for ever be
 A place to shout for Whggery.
 Stand to your posts, and never fear,
 Though Jackson men may scof and snecr;
 Poor blinded souls. could they but sec,
 They too would shout for Whiggery.
