HE QUEE LITTLE MAN.
There's queer little man.

N u
There's queer little man,
And they call him Martin Van,
lie was reckoned quite magical affair;
lie was mounted on the back
Ofthe sturdy Andy Jack,
When he hopp'd into the Presidential chair;
In his message every page
He ANNOUNCED golden age,
With currency TO satisfy us all;
But when he came totry ii,
Yes, and none will Ger deny it,
Why Improved to be no currency al all
Now this qucer little man
liada very queer plan,
In devlsing how TO keep his present shop;
Twas to sell the public land,
| And TO take the cash in hand
| With full intent the Cider Ball to stop;
But what is vastly worse,
| tie demands the sword and purse,
With an army oftwo hundred thousand men
Just 10 circulate his notes,
And TO catch as many votes
As may give his drones their Offices again.
Then fancy he had caught
Ola sober second thought,
Which had started all the suituscs awake;
But this race ofthinking men,
When they came to think again,
Felt convinced they'd surely made great mis-
take;
For in lieu Of silver bags,
They had spurious filthy rags,
With wages low and scarcely ought to do;
And so at this little man,
Loud TO rail they all began,
For his magc il had fairly tumbled through.
After this he had u dream,
Ola very famous scheme,
Which would safely keep the dollars 10 him-
self;
But his gold and silver kegs,
Why they got amongst the Legs,
And the rascals off they scumpered with the
pelf;
And sorely we were curst, @
For his golden bubble burst,
And the Treasury was empted at pull;
+ So he call'dupon the goats
For roll OF paper Notes,
While the Rhlno was all shippd to Jotnny|
Bull.
Now this queer little man
He is not a second Dan,
For cen Paddy has an eye upon his tricks,
With his loco(oco crutch
He may hobble round the Dutch,
But.hero he'll find himself among the Ma;
Z For this miserablepay
Of eleven pence per day, m. &
with other blessings equally divine;
He may balance uphs book, ss
And returnto Undertook,

PRosPEcrs in TENNESSEE. - The revol1lioRlnI
Tennessee in favor Of Harrison, if the inteliiI
gence be true, and we have no reason 10 doubt
it, is unexpected and even astounding OncofI
our citizens, Just returned from Ilaury county,
says the changes there are actually astonish-I
ing, and that L is generally conceded that Mr.
Van Buren, viii not get over 800 majority, All |
though II gave q Van Buren, majority last sum

opinion by betting a suit Of scothes Giles
county also, which gave 1884 majority forthe
Van Buren, ticket, last summer, it's said will
now certainly give Gen. Harrison a majority
In the edge Of Maury or Lawrence, the gentle
man found forty laborcrs at work on the road
among whom there we're but four Van Buren,
men. He tells us that no one can believe, Who'll
does not travel and see ii, thasthere rs such an
agouizing revolution in Tennessee. But Il is

never before been Witnessed, not even iii thct
