Coon MORNING Coon MORNING! A HAPPY New YEAR,
To you and to yours and to all you hold dear;
Your intelligent face tells me plainly that you
Have been taking our paper and reading H. 'oo'
So hope that to add to our mutual Joy,
You will shell TO your CARRIER Boy
Like horse in a baskml, I've always been iound'
As week followed week, on my wearisome rou'G'
Through the cold winds of WINTER the and the seet
Through the long days Of summer the dust and the hea''
Whatever might fail you, your peace to annoy,
Yet failed not your ink bedaubed CARRIER Boy.
have brought you the news, Sir from all out of doors'
OF all the great wonders and all the great bores;
OF :: awful catas,ro phes,'' " narrow escapes,
OF frightful tornndoes,' and " horrible soraPes'
OF 'poli.cs, -" markets. or g capital hoex,'
The whole ntersprinkled with laughable jokes.
How great CRYSTAL SHANTy was built for a Fair
Expected to hold everything that was rare;
But the weather, and wit,als," and wonen' ween'
Were about all the fair that was there to be seen
Bills of fare plenty as feas on hound
But fair bills a something that nobody fouhd.
or a Snow to which BABIES were carried driven,
And prize for the best,blooded specimen givon;
The prize Of course could mt be given to all,
So while raised the wind, all the rest raised sq9d
How many poor SAILORS sleep under the wave,
Whose their home whose heart is their grave
Their shouds seaweed. The wild sea-brds Scream
The howl Of the tempest dsurbs not their dream
Their friends and their loved are watching IN vain
Those loved will embrace them again
How young HOLLAND stood firm to his post on the deok
Not needing the hunders and crash OF the wreck;
No, the terrors OF death could his spirit dsmay,
Or the hope of escape lure the hero away
He stood 10 his cannon, whose deaienng roar
Shall echo his fame until time is more.
How NEw-FANGLkp PARTY. brought forth in the night
Are led by a certain old meddlesome wight,
Who appears the night; much light does mt suit,
As his tracks show alternate hoof and a boot
Once, according O Milton, he kicked up row,
And led off a host like the one he leads now
Some Romans and Aliens, tits said, he beheld,
Thereupon the old chap and his party rebelled.
As himself and his party oil kicked out then
Just so certain they all will be kicked out again.
How great ENGLISH BULL and conceted FRENCH FROG,
After striving for years another to fog,
Concluded between them, fine summer day,
That should stand treat and they make up the fray
This FRoG, says Esop once swsled his skin iull
And tried to appear quite as large as the BULL;
And broader and higher the silly thing grew
Till it burst at place they call Waterloo
Alter taking few dozen bottles of Port,
Saws the the BULL, let IS be having some sport:
There our young BROTHER JONATHAN the drink,
Who would like to have Cuba, m getting to think;
Let us give him a few doses of lead,
And phv sic such notions all out Of his head''
. The. Bull replied sadly, but mild as kid,
s That s one little job, Sir, that cannot be did:
| We tried that job twice Sir. 4. find wont do
For both times got waloped before got through
Seeing, however you in for a fray,
| we lust got idea that think will pay:
Take a little wine Sir, and then we ii prepare
