The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1854-01-05


To below with his voice and say
Gee, wough, haughl
And we have fishermen and hunters too,
Who catch the nolegoster with 'ladle hook,
And shoot the coons by moonlight
On the wide spread oaks
Play death, destruction, with opossums,
Grinning on swinging limb.
Mechanics, merchants, tradesmen,
Working, selling cheap;
And landlords active in their sphere,
To welcome strangers to peaceful home.
Brave chaps of every name and hue,
Can jump and wrestle, take spree,
Roast chickens in a coal pit,
Play crack lue, and join in songs
Of giddy mirth, surround the counters
Of the haunts Of sin,
Were death, destruction and sad woe,
Presents itself with ghastly sight, and blood
shot eyes,
And bloated face, and breath of most unwhole
some stencil,
Is smelt, and worse than buzzard stencil il
fumes.
And we have moral virtuous men,
Men of Good deeds, for virtue take stand,
Who love their Masters cause
And labour in the vineyard of their Lord.
The elections of the past will tell,
How low poor whiggery has fell,
This mighty fabric, built on coon and eide
strong,
And been the subject of so much song:
'Twould seem she has peaceful quiet grave,
No moreto sing of the departed brave;
Her yotaries the fuss and feather tribe
Their long detected faces hide.
Ware, and oh ware, has de coon party gone,
Ware, aud oh ware, is de Scot party songs,
De log cabins of de vest,
Isdey alileft to rest,
81 defeat Of dey hero Of song.
Democracy must triumph ever,
Because they do the thing that's clever
Our chs rning, lovely ladies fair,
Must in our rhyming have share.
Throughout the place, abroad, at home,
Their winning power is well known.
Love, the ruling passion they possess,
To make us happy-make us blessed.
Let others boast Of pretty faces,
of shining beauty and the graces,
We venture nothing to compare
With places that much older are.
Sad truth we now reluctant own
Bachelors we have without home;
Amid the glaring beauty all around,
These stiff-necked creatures still are found.
Without the comforts of a wife
To cheer them in the path of life.
Sad be the stars that shone upon their birth
Sad be the morn that dawned upon the earth,
Unmindful of the plain command
Tomultiply and bless the land.
Let us survey the world abroad,
And mark the history 1t records,
OF wars, connections, consternations
BY other lands and other nations.
OF Turkey keen for battle strife
Ready for the deadly fight.
Russia, hated by all lands,
Insulting by unjust demands.
Austria, cruel, hateful to the cause,
OF freedoms just and righteous laws.
Germany the land of reformation,
That sent the light throughout the nations.
Hungary's cause, crown with success
The hand of Kossuth greatly bless
Bleeding Italy; it feels the stroke
inflicted by the Frenchman's yoke;
Disgraceful in the eyes of men
This cruel act of France has been.
China with her revolution,
Revolving doing execution.
The rebel party having gained the day,
No more idolatry will sway,
Priest riden Spain, with monks and friars,
Darkened lights, expiring fires.
OF Africa, her warning tribes,
Her mighty rivers swelling tides
Enigma to the nations been,
So much of wretched suffering seen.
OF sciences, the power of steam,
Navigation's sister twin.
Telegraphic wires throughout the land,
Accomplished by the art of man.
The light Of truth now spreading wide.
Der nations, seas, and rapid tides,
Dark places of theearth give way,
Before this blessed light Of day;
Hope Frightening in the distance beams,
Its radient light, its cheerful streams.
Hail all hall thou beacon star,
Triumphant lei. the gospel carr,
Go forth till earth's remotest place
Shall learn and known redeerning grace.
Indulge us in rhyme or two,
About the Exhibition" new.
Those handsome boys with smiling faces,
Pretty girls adorn with laces,
Who said their pieces all SO well,
OF which I'm not ashamed to tell;
What could more delightful be,
Than such love sight to see,
! have not time to specify,
In rhyming, verse, to multiply,
love you all kind playmates well.
Success to you, farewell, farewell.
