Fast fieeting time hath roll'd away
And brought another New Years day,
And all are fall ofmirth and joy,
Save one alone,--yoar Gamma Boy
Who, faithful, at the ACCUSTOMED hour,
Hath e'er performed his village tour;
I To give to you, when comfortless,
Some cheering news just from the press;
From North, and South, and Eas; and West,
! All that can please and interest,
To tell you, (Ahi It's grave to mention,)
In Congress, bout that great contentious
Much time, in needless strife consum'd,
To settle points nc'er fore assumed
Rules, which before, men wise and free,
Objections TO could never see,
But always took as free of doubt,
Twas found the part of tools to scout
To show by dint Of argument,
Had ne 'er before their true intent
And thus all precedent distort.
For favour in the popular court,
Nor hath he left you to bewail
The want Of song or witty tale,
To rouse to cheer, to animate,
Your spirit sunk in dropping state;
But, always prompt, his varied store
Hath weekly brought unto your door,
And now, whilst others all are merry,
He's on his way, though cold and weary,
And, since your comfort claims the task,
For leisure, he dsdains to ask;
But, dreading neither wind nor storm,
He promptly doth his task perform
And now, since all are full of cheer,
And NewYear comes but once year,
And all their merry time have had,
Save one alone,--you CARRIER LAD;
Who, moving fast his little feet,
For you hath trod the frozen street
For such his labor, care, attention,
VIII you deny compensation
Who is there that upon reflection,
Will urge one shadow of objection -
Nonc,-the liberal heart responds,
For IT'S his due e EN- though 'twere pounds
And TO the CARRIER Boy extends,
With liberal hand, his just amends
To let him know It's not in vain,
For generous hearts to work and strain;
As earnest too, thai he, henceforth,
Will, for his labor, get his worth;
And thus, by wisest means, secure,
In future, him, as heretofore.
