Her gifted opss, the glory Of hsr reign;
God bless OF Eps lands son fer many . day.
Rise, then, in beauty, with thy sildsd dome,
The gallant Crockett's motto tbs said,
" Be suIe you ght. then 60 ahead"
And I, albeit not sure of praise,
Prick up my steed. and Pegasus obeys.
The tide 4 life that r,und our city throws
Its Rainbow beauty seldom seeks repose:
Some thsopg the opera, to hear Alboni,
Some rush in crowds TO wonder at Franconi,
sonteg's sweet Deiodies thrill
And Jenny Lipd's repembrAnc s haunts US stiIl,-
MNetzek still l. carving on the war
Ard salvis notes are always " above par"
Whether We have Ipe,s house or no
Il matters not music Is al the 60.
But autumn brings Mario and Grsi-
Their notes veil discount IL the markets easy.
The drama Aouri>hA-, and on8 thing . esrtaiA-lAs
wealth tas,e and beauty Thong to laugh IT Burtsn.
There they behold great Shsksgeare's finest scholar,
pt ct and a wit, for bali dollsr- ee
There Sbaks peaIe, Sheridan and Coman meet,
And you must early go to get q seat
Rare of Momus may your shadow neer be less,
And not die iJom laughing to excess!
The Broadway cstsrs, too fer taste refined
There Shaksp genius speeds the march OF mindss
Here our own Forrest yaads the mimic scene,
And graceful beauty shines in Julia Dean.
Here NJ cbe.h Hamlet William Tell and Lear,
Excite our pity, wonder, love- and fear
While Constance Julia, and Banca's grace
Live in the genius of that radiant face.
Wallac 70 Ly ceum visit there you'll find
Vaudev farce, and comedy combined;
The manager, fav0, tie OF thirty years.
Staf DIS, as an actor, fret among hs peers;
His bright associate. bring strong support
And every scene with magic bsautys fraught.
Here's RUFUS Bake here Le,isrs genius soars,.
Ard Laura Keene elicits loud applause:
Prastimus written on the dr. mas walls,
Lishts up each until the curtain falls
Excitepen lives in AL our crowded streets,
And much 10 muse upon the stranger meets.
Here the policeman. as his star he twrls,
Letsrogues escspe and On snres apple girls.
Here organ grir ders With their monkeys roam,
And :. Lucy Lopen succeeds " Old Folks ct Home."
The Broadway Railroad fills the lawyers pocket.
And in our courts Is 81 says on the docket -
The Bearded Lady - with her whskers dark,
Is seen each day at Barnum's. near the Park.
Bsrnum exhibits, With his usual taste,
His only humbug that is not barefaced.
The scene is charged; within a brilliant hall
TbTong men and women at GavazN's call
The bold en thusias1 stands beneath the dome,
TO launch s. cure at prelacy and Rome;
But let the padre mind his P's and Qs,
And cot wake up the wrath OF Bishop Hughes
Freedom Of speech Cav azzi will maintain
Till knock down arguments will reach his brain.
Another meetr r 'hrepged with various faces,
Where the strong minded damses take their places;
Here's black and White tn oughout crowded towns
Here's Lucy Stone and Rev Mrs. Beown.
Women have rights, they say and say
The marriage rites and hoee felicity.
All ranks cry ont. veil have Central Park,
Where al our citizens may walk and breathe
purer air on many nner's eve;
And we will have one On the largest plan,
Open to ell despite 'bs adermsn.
Our City Fathers much abused are they;
Iftbey deserve it. let them weep and pray.
Let Barr grow wise and Sturtevant less naughty,
Perhaps repentance deep nay save the forty,
So long they we tried our charter to dsform,
And now the people RTE aud ask reform.
And while we're guarded ny an honest press,.
Corruption ne'er reach gross excess.
The Press thou great palladium Of the free,
Which seDtipels the Patss of truth and liberty
L0og may it flourish IN our city fair
While it Yields pens which have soul to dare
Long may the Courier witt its blanket sheet,
Stand interrupted. cen whe n brokers meet.
Long may the Journal, With its cAustic pen,
hold up to shame the deeds Of aldermen.
Long may the Commercial and the Etentng Posi-
Give the hest reading when tits wanted most.
Long the Eapres throw out their third Edition,
Ar still improve with every emission,
Long may Tribune nufac ure isms,
And discuss slavery. sentiment. asd schisms.
Long may the HERALD furnish early news;
Lorg IN " the Picdyt,,e the town amuse;
LOpg life to Raymond nd the New York Times,
Nor be the Sunday forgotten in these rhymes.
Prastemus wi thy pame my scpg began,
And if Pve sketched imperfectly my plan,
Lat me plead small ex perience and youth,
Foe I'm no graceful rnymer. that's the truth;
And let my pa, ting words be felt by those,
Who with me share the pleasures Of this night,
And. unlike me, will give yeu true delight;
May they improve In all that's good and great.
And leave their Dames upon the worlds estate.
