was the Minister of a Congregation in Williams

Christmas held meeting, 1.-THE close of which,
proposed 10 the congregation To meet me next morn
ing before day each one bringing either candle or
torch light and we would introduce the commemora-

Vi UNCLE SAM AND HIS FlDDLERS.
Tune-aOtd King CoIsr
Old Uncle Sam had stranger within wham
A silly whim-wham had he
He called for his hdders and danced in jam,
With the troop of Old Hickory.
And every fiddler had Uncle Sans fiddle,
And very fine fiddle had he!
Then 'tweedle- deedle-deef went the fddlers,
Tweedle-dee,
OH silly and rare they did comb down his hair,
To the tune of ECONOMY :"
Old Uncle Sam they sweetly did cram.
How sweetly cramm'd was he
He gnped and grnnd at each humbugging fam,
Crying !" This is the stuff for me Y
And every piper he set up his pipe,
Tickling Sans catastrophe.
Then toodle- doode-doo" went the pipers;
"Tweede- decide dee went the fddlers;
Tweedledee
But oh how Uncle Sam did stare,
w hen each fiddler came for his fee J
Old Uncle Sam found it all was sham
As saucy sham could be;
And he cried, You rogues do you think you can
.gam-
mon sensible chap like me ~
But each rogue-Oh law had gripping paw
And pair of light heels as you II sec
Then "chink chink- chink J" when the money bags;
Toodle-doodle-doo' went the ppers,
"Tweeile, deedle-dee" went the iiddlcrs;
Tweedle-deel
And each one with dish made made a snap the
cash
Wasn't that pure democracy
Old Uncle Sam felt as flat as clam
As fiat clam-she he
He scratched his head and did nothing but STAN
and stare in his qunndary.
For these musical cts play the dogs with his wits
And the deuce with his currency
Then FLAP, flap, flap" went the money bags; :.
Scatter scatter, scatter y said the pipers;
:" Here's leg bail said the fidders
And good bye 10 tweedle- dee
Oh there's naught bu, rogue will dare |
With a snug SuB-rREAsuRYl
Now Old Uncle Sam has whim-wham
better whm-wham has he;
That each Tory sham shall speedily scam
per away to "retiracyn
Then every fiddler shall have new fiddle
And Wing fiddle it shall be-
So "tweelle-deedle- merry folders,
A true Wing ,weedc-dee
Tweedle-deel
Then all start fair and take good care
OF the Nations Liberty.
