Our forefathers (heaven bless them. 2ay,
When old England would oppress Them,
Signed pledge against taxation,
Calling THE Declaration. ....,r.
Liberty was their motto, nfrt.
So they signed, as who would not do
They, when John Bull tried TO cheat 'em
Fought the red coats, and they beat 'em.
And our warfare never closes F
Till we've conquered the red noses.
Clear the track of your humbucs.
Cider cans and filthy mugs.
Whiskey is an lntermeddler, .t
Retail scandel, mischief pedler; r
Haunis all dark and wrelched places,
Breaks mems bones and paints their faces
Clear him out, the old william,
Every mischief he has skill in.
He makes strife 'twixt friends and brothers
Laughs at broken-hearted mothers;
Steals the chidren's bread and butter,
Lays their fathers in the gutter.
Kill him dead with cold water
Hang him frst-don't cheat the halter
And he comes with many dresses
From the stills and cider presses;
White, and red, and brown and yellow.
But its all the same old fellow.
Pull them down, cider grinders,
You can't see behind such binders.
Into every place he's creeping,
Constant noise and uproar keeping:
And for power truly wond 'rous,
More than once he's been 10 Congress.
Turn him out. the delaulter,
Hang HIM up--don't cheat the halter.
O, for shame, all you rumselIers. r. ...
You're offensive TO our smelers, y. .
Never more in open day 90,
Quit the trade--the ladies' say so-..H
Gut the trade, or we'll hit you I. Y.
With drubbing that shall fit you.
Some are lhreat'ning us with trouble,
But the fellows all see double,
Arm'd with brandy, rum and cider,
Marksmen never yet shot wider.
Let them come, fires much hotter
We can quench with clear cold water.
Then fling out the Temperance, banner,
Let the mountain breeZes fan her m
For onr strife is great and glorious,
And we vet shall be victorious. u
Drinking's wrong. you all know IL,
" Sign the pledge and then you'll show u
Every Temperance son and daughter,
Give three cheers Tor clear, cold water,
While il gushes aud rejJices,
Like the music OF our voices.
Then hurrah for cold water

MELANCHOLY EVENT.

Yesterday morning, Mr. George W. Ward.
nephew to the Editor of this paper. arrived in
the cars from Baltimore, bringing with him THE
CORPSE Of his late amable wife, which was
Immediately conveyed, by his friends. to the
residence Of her parents, Samuel and Matilda
Jackson, near the Great Falls of the Potomac.
Mr.. Ward was married TO the lady now de-
parted about nine months ago. in this city,
They removed TO Baltimore where they since
resided. a aa "H't
On Tuesday morning our dear young friend
left his home in fine spirits, and went 10 dis
tant part Of the city to attend TO his work. leav-
ing his lady in her usual health and cheerful
ness. During the forenoon she was attacked
very soon expired. Her husband, when he
returned TO his house, found that she on whom
so much Of his earthly happiness depended,
WAS NO MORE. She was dead, though it SEEM
ed to him almost impossible it could be so, for
she looked as one only sleeping sweetly. sa,
The deceased was about twenty yearsof age,
and was lady Of a most amiable and affection
ate dispcsilion--as one who was well acquain-
ted with her says--'a perfect child Of nature,'
kind, tender, and sympa,hizing companion.
How inscrutable are the ways Of God How
Auctuating, how evanescent life's sweetest en-
ioyments! How soon do the friends we
love disappear from our sight and how sud-
den, often, are the transitions from time to eter
nity! In the present painful event there are
circumstances calculated to draw tears from
the eyes even of strangers, and we doubt no,
that the community will deeply sympathize
with Mr.. Ward in this severe affliction.
II gives us pleasure to stale to our readers
that the deceased had been a professor Of reli.
gion, and we have reason 10 hope died in the
Lord; but the suddenness of her death pre-
cludes the possibility Of our giving the particu-
lars of her religious experience.
il In concluding our remarks upon this most
distressing occurrence, we may, with tender
ness and sincerity, say, we deeply feel for the
bereaved ones, and ardently pray that He who
is above all, and who is too wise to err, and
TOO good to be unkind, may afford them the
needed supply of grace to sustain them under
this trying dspensa,ion.
