MARROW Done anq GleaNer.
MASTER OF CEREMONIES RISING.
Brothers! Ills the mystic hour
For the exercise OF power.
Lo! the sacr.d fire is hot
Boils the sacred shaving pot,
AS within its brim fling
Every native Offering;
Bunch of wool from Afric scull-
Feather from full-hedged gull
Down, new pluck'd from callowgoos,-
Emblem fit for us to USE
Double, double, toll and trouble,
In the tin pot squeak and bubble.
oMyEs soLEMNLY.
If read the omens clear,
Happy auspices are here,
Let the candidate appear.
(The Candidate is brought forward.)
Stranger-ere you swear obedience,
We must know your antecedents
CANDIDATE.
IF it's politics you mean,
Every thing by turns I've been
have been locofoco,
But found that was NJ GO
Wooliy head and silver grey,
Putty head in small way,
Wild cat, pizzarinctum, too,
And free soiler.
MASTER
That will do.
Brother, renegade, greet you--
Ioyed am | as sneh to meet you.
Now mark my words and their intent,
And bow your head if you assent.
Can you questioner put byl
And can you on occasion lisl
Candidate bows)
Can you all orders bIndly foowi
And have you u capacious swallewi
Don't you believe that some years hence
That Popes will appoint our Presidentsi
Don't you believe that Jesuits thrive
Because in secret they contrivel
You hate contessionals3-Is see
You debut you'll confess to me.
Don't you believe the Ronlsh priests
Are sworn to slaughter as like beastsi
That all the Irish arms are hiding
In all the shantes they abide inl
That all the Irish girls combine
To purchase arsenic and strychninei
That in Know Nothings lies our hope
To fight the Devil and the Popei
G Fhe Candidate bows repeatedly
Now lift the Bone and Ceaver high in air,
And full obedience to our order swear.
Candidate obeys)
The ordeal's past--and you here proclaim
A know-Nothing in intellect and name.
Around you see band of brothers true
None OF these honest men know more than you.
From different parties they have fallen away,
And now go in for plumber and for prey;
Like you they're bound our lead 10 b.indly follow
Like you they have a most capacious swallow;
They bolt whatever prodigy we name
A gnat or saw mill, it is all the same,
Honors we'll make as even as we can,
Where each expects to be congressman,
If not governor. Our signs are few
And easy to be learned--eVen by you.
The grip is this you'll get it in a minute;
Then youmust shake your there's nothing it!
Next wise look--for wisdoms our professions
A good stuffed owl win aid you in expression
Minerva's bird is ours-no soaring lark
But one that gees mousing in the dark.
But To- the night is ysrgng iuto day.
Freedom Americans let's sneak away
Down the back stairs, Pnd then we'll cot and run,
And vanish through dark alleys, one by one
Fancy you've robbed hen-roost and tread light,
Then will your skuking gait beiit your flight
