THE PRESIDENTS PROGRESS.
A Patriotic Poem.

n fatrlOtio FOeihs
BY PLUTARCH PUFFER.
ART sD.--Hereia The Poet first discourses Of hiDise
p,trstes The Irogress% p sings about newspapers,
= interesting and Sublime matters; coacIuding e ia,
a Grand Bal at Shaan0Rdats.
Though few believe the papers, still
should, and by the gods l will,
Deny charge I've read in one,
Here published. This should not be done,
IL.
Nor would / condescend thereto,
fmemy gentle readers knew
A stranger must himself defend,
Or hard twill be to find friend.
III.
Now here's the charge: they say I'm paid,
That hll my patriotism s-trddei
'Tis no such thing: only write
To show affairs in proper light
'.patGf" Hso, pray tell me whati
My little purse no larger g got
spepx the day in honest toll,
And read and wiits BY q imidnight oil.n
I"paid!" No progress" can make,
No Summer recreation take;
stay at home, and there review
The nothings that our great ones do.
Nor can think my situation
Will mend in this Administration,
However much my truthful rhyme
May aid in patching up the time.
VII.
At least have no Office yet,
Though soon I'll make the nations debt
To Plutarch Pufier large indeed:
But merit, here, can't have its need!
Rejecting more, / scarcely think
I'd let my Independence sink
So low as offices require;
To spread my doublet on the mire,
As Raleigh did, that Majesty
May pass with dainty footstep freel
wouldn't even my threadbare coat
To such vile purposes devoted
So much for matters personal;
And now the Progress / recall,
Now follow fast the flying train,
And "Richard is himself again" .
XI.
The cars arrived, that afternoon,
At Charlestown-and arrived too soon,
For none at depot gave them greeting
1t happened all the folks were eating.
When engine whistle loudly poured
The tidings, each sprang up from board,
Ran out with knife and fork in hand,
To see the magnates of the land,
XIII
And ioouI have shouted, but, awhile,
Could only "grin CHASTITY smile;"
So full their mouths Of bread and butter,
No salutation could they utter.
XIV.
Howe'er, His Excellency knew,
Though dumb their mouths, their hearts were tru
And did himself congratulate
That all were in such thriving state
"Ah, see !" he said, to Banker near,
"What charming evidence is here
OF Wing Administration! See
How much the country owes to mel"
EyrdtUn,.-The 30th stanza yesterday should hav
cad
"And shouted loud the happy throng."
