"WHAT,S IN A NAME!o


Congress again is under sail
Upon three months cruise,
With ship new rugged and crew all Hale,
And choicest stores for use.
From Adams to the present lime,
No voyage was ever planned
With crew ard passengers more prime,
Or Briggs more neatly Manned.
The sparkling Brooks have furnished Fish
The Hunter with his Hdri;
The Ham, choice and savory dish,
The Butler viii impart.
And merry as a,larriage Beli'
They'll pass the olive long days"
No Badger Burrolrs in his cell
More free from care than they.
And thus rugged out they'll Chase away
Dull care in every form,
And have perfect Holinday,
In spite of Saow or storm.
And though through pleasures they may Wade
They love the Churchiceii too;
And they've Doan already made,
To teach them what to do.
If mischief should be set on Foot,
As sometimes is the case,
A rods in pickle for the brute
The Bay'y's in his place.
If such rcproof should not suffice
To keep the rogues in check,
There is one more the law applies
IT'S Cable round the neck.
This crew. whatever be their cheer,
Must needs have pleasant labors,
For, whatsoever course they steer,
They're sure Of first rate NaJers.
Music hath power to melt the heart
The SIrGge hearts of Sone--
Till ravished by the Hrrper's art,
All mingle into one.
Some fear that if their time should lag,
They'll Gamble it away;
And at their fav'rite game of Bragg
May be induced TO play.
And there are some who apprehend
They'll drink their cares to sleep,
For 'gainst the "Maine law' they contend,
And Meade dli Porter keep.
And often, as their glasses fall,
They call for one Gilmore;
And while such customs shall prevail
Hotre can they give it DER?
This ship, it will not be denied,
Has got motley crew
For kjng and Queen sit side by side,
With men Of every hue.
All shades and colors here are seen,
From dusliy Brorn 10 White,
With dappled Grey and bottle Green,
Fantastic if not Bright.
All trades and calIngs, far and near,
Promjscuously minge;
The Cooper and the Carter here
a. .MelOdiously jingle.
The Mason and the Miner too,
The Fuller and the Mile,
wiz find enough of work TO do,
If not enough Of "siller.'
The Taylor, with his goose in hand,
His thimble ami his shears,
VIII cure all rents except on land,
And such as conscience wears.
The U'aljicr takes his usual round
To exercise his ''trotters,'
And well he guards the public ground
To keep away the "sqnattcrs."
This crew will find enough to do,
Already now begun;
And that should be the first put through
That's .4iItcn 10 be done.
But there's disposition shown,
Among this gallant crew,
To Dodge all matters but their own,
And let them all slip through.
If that should be, some pointed Penn
Should give the rogues Tuck,
And make them Smart like honest men,
Till they're i'll better luck.
IT'S said each man has got his Price,
like goods kept in a store;
Some very cheap, some very nice,
Some costngless, some Moore.
While many men penurious Grow,
And hold their manhood cheap"
Some Gooirich men, perhaps for show,
Are found among tie heap.
"Where none are beaus," the poet writes,
"'Tis useless 10 be belles;'
But here, though one Gaylord invites,
No lady gay here dwels.
In Riddles though they don't abound,
1t still must be confessed
That some things are 50 By the sound
An Eastman from the West.
This is no 'iilibustering" horde
OF lawIess men and grim;
For though al Ouiidw is OIL board,
The law looks out for him.
The Gentry that compose this band
Have all their certain doorus,
Their Shields and Mace cannot Withstand,
They're destined for the IoomJs.
The gallant captain, so well skilled,
Is soon to step ON shore;
His place with credit he has filled,
And trust he may FILLMORE.
