TOR TIE CARRIER or THE "GoyzAigs iNot,ruru.
a merry New Ycarl ono aud all,
Inc Young. the old, the low and tall
The rich, the poor, tho good and true
Tho lads nnd bonnie lassics too;
AN, n!l, We greet you with our lay.
And wish that many n New Years day
May come and go, and you DC found
The hnppicst in our happy town.
The old years gone to join the past,
And while, in retrospect wc cast
Up in the mind, ns should bc done,
between each rise and set of SUM-
us good and i'll now passed and gone.
We feel ms if friend were diving,
And we around his bed.sii sighing.
Thought of his life so good and true.
when, 10 hes gone--and hcrc's new.
The old one is to memory given,
This, iraught with hopes OF earth and heaven
That, lost OF gained as il may be,
This, LET MS spend as II should be
That, had its share of Joys aud SORROW.
This, from its pains, let nothing borrow
That was the goal of many life.
This, will give birth to many strife;
That famous for both cold and hot,
This, famous ior-thc Lord knows what.
"
SO let's review what we've been doing
For one short year, ON terra firinn, st3s
from Cape Horn round TO the coast of l}urmaI.
Anu, Ike NIL great men, in their stations,
We first will glance ut distant nations.
.ind thcn come home, ns good resident g
To speak OF General Pierce, our President;
Anu last aud best, you may expect us
To talk of our own Star State" Texas
And If our paper does not fail us
wen drink health 10 Our Gonzales.
Of distant nations, first VIC say,
That there s one Bull over tho way,
Zig Bu'l--John Bull is his name
Ana FAR wide spread IL his great fame:
This Bull, an ever mcddling beast,
Paid visit far down east
Entanglcd his horns in terra firma
lnd tore oil near one half Of Burn,ah;
Not that no would hurt that nation.
But only for tho cause OF civilization. -
The Northern Bear, toe, went a hunting,
And by his loud yoclierous granting,
Frightened the Turkeys from their roost,
And raised the Mediterranean coust
The Cossacks whoopcd, the Tmkeys vobblc,l.
Then French and English, in they iobblod.
To have their share in this great matter
Perhaps these cublcss bears to scatter:
Now hoW this great event will go,
You do not care, and | don't know:
And SO well wait with patience for Il. E&
And Turks aud Russians, let them war it.
Now Uncle Sans man Of morii.
Aud down nj Sinyrna showed somc spirit.
The case is this--ono Martin kosta,
\ soldier Of hungarian muster,
Wearing our Mnroy's lomcspnn brceehcs.
Had been sucked IN lay Austrian locehes
When TO his aid comes captain Ingrnhau,
And threatens big shot he'll fling them.
Unless they scnd back 10 his dinner
THIS Observation-Disclosures minnnw.

Ills courage meets our appreciation
llarra',l again without cessation,
For t'encral Pierce autls.-tliv administration.
For Marcy, Guthrle. Davis. Dohbin,
For Gushing, Campbsli and old Robin.

And viii, sncb eais0s wo'll fear no evil
From John Van liusen or thu devil.
