CARRIERS ADDRESS,
JANUARY .. Isa3

JANUARY ,. 1913.
The leafiess tree, and the frozen earth,
And the winters piercing blast,
And the loving herds and the blazing hearth,
Tel US that the Summer is past.
Its merry birds and its blushing flowers;
It's dews and its flashing sun.
Like the hopes which were dream'd in its ,wi
light hours
/ All-all are forever gone.
And as has the time of tho leaf and the sun,
So gone is the rolling year;
And ah in ITS flight how many an urn
/ Has been dew'd with affections tear!
The weak and the strong-the small and ,he
great,
In the grave have taken their place;
The Freeman has mourned DER the hope of the
State,
And the Mother her babe Of days.
But life to US still measures its sands.
Sui pours on its crimson flood,
And urges to lift our grateful hands
10 the "G.rer of every Good"
Our fruitful fields supply our board
With wine our cup runs DER;
hist Want with her wan and CHASTITY hoarj.
Keeps far from our happy shore
As we rise and battle in the mornings breeze
And learn Of the Ant and the Bee,
80 our land is the home Of Wealth and Of Ease
AS 1t IS 0: the Brave and the Free"
Now let US digress to the Polite world
Iho' the scene IS less pleasing and fair;
For the banner the Demmys SO widely unfnrrd
Is lt'rally filling the air.
And renegade Johnny holds on 20 his place,
With " the Guard !" at Inc foot Of his bed,
" no help him 10 glory in deepest disgrace
And smile at the havoc he's made
>Ah when with Wars strife and his blood and
his woe,
Our Country we're called to defend;
Let US have but an open, tho Cannibal foe
Instead Of traitoroas friendly
But his race he has run, and the day is near Sy I
v hen his p'iitical neck VIII be snapt:
Or his ears, now erect. so long and SO high.
Politically soon will be crapt
He'll be "ruled from the track will be do.
Gently switch'd,
And his war with his conscience be sore:
Alack how he'll think If again were hitch'd
ID back IN the harness" no more
But they say that sod Rippy" 50 staunch
and so pure,
Has been caught BY the Demagogue's trap;
Don't scold him foF that, for RipPy, be sure,
