KROTZA-WRATHA.

Hrgh hol but we've received msuling
That nearly stretched out a-sprawIins,
Aui after such a cat-rwaulins
NJ doubt all think that Ne are bawiing,
And eagerly for quarters calling,
Or On our marrow bones are falling.
Beneath the strokes 50 sharp and calling;
But no--our ease amt so appalling.
The way the Coi'uei jumps aud tuinbles,
And Cronnr and Rrieyes and grunts and grunibles
And scod- and scowls and screws ana stuh"'ON,
Aud Iuuws and NUNS and news ami mumh.es,
And ircts and foarns and fries aud flnties,
j. most enough TO rrnd our EizLsrd,
Or scare tn, life out of a wizard.
His old machine has need II oiiug,
Hut a. his wrath il up aud boiling,
He can not wait for such small matters,
But grinds away mid awful ciattrrs,
And must have had twist oi collie
When he ground out that sal buc"iic!
He thinks that we're the sum of mcanues.,
The very model OF all grrenurss,
And rakcs Us for dy-Vcptic leauness-
But he's the type of pomp and k"ennes'
In every line hc shows his breeding,
tbs wictched rhym and hoTrii reading
lie writes as If his souls salvation
Depended on our degradation.
Aud wonders Why Il does MT squat US
To have HIM shake his goosequili at "s;
Ii"'s mat enough to wiring our nose Oh,
Or kick until he kicks h- toes of,
Bat we're 20 small an i-uoramms
That he must be content To d--espise u.s.
In poetry he makes slow 20
FIR such brilliant brag gs1Gocio;
Its rhymiug tact Is splendd-''bully'-
Fur he makes ''Grerlry" rlt'Ine with "wOolly,'
What jolts aud screrrhus mterminsle
To try To get thr lines t. Juglci
Some long AM slim a knitting needles,
While others bring up blunt as beetles.
Uis casa i ike the good Old brnron'S,
tlnce numbered with the brightest heacons,)
When. starting up tune once, h.undrrrd,
And hilchcd short metre TO od Hundred
lie ircu -ht up suddenly with wonder,
But couldn't think of knocking under;
lie hummcd and drsliet aud tried to fix IL,
The more he'd try, the worse he d mix 1t,
Eut on he went, the dear OLD ''creetur,'
He'd have the tUn. if not the metre:
He thought to stretch the lacking lines out,
But coming to the end, he finds out
That proper words h- can not rake up,
And sings it 'Ja-a-a-a-acob,'
He blows about the late election
In rhiladrph no objection
To change of parties, none at all, sir,
Therc'Il h.. n change again. next fall. sir,
Will havoc make 'm"ng big po'tmasiers,
And other government pilasteTs;
When some inflated, p"ml"us m'dIlers
VIII WAN and wane again To pvIIIers.
One candid word about somc features:
You call Us brules, not fellow creatures.
Ar. not men; are We not human
Are We but 'dpcs' instead Of true lnrn'
Of .'wt" like that in such a story
We truly envy not the glory
There is no csus' for your abusing
Our hruthrrhood by introducing
Names given only 10 meanest cattle
Ia this our petty. qua,ihattle;
W know we hold no high position,
But that don't alter our condition
IT, .-ioEs~ ard ..hos-,' as you have stated,
And with those beasts have u heratsi.
To rank mCl ia the brute durulniJu,
Merely fr din ring in opinion,
Is shameful, sir, You can deny II,
Ard uo .NrU-c can justify IT.
II fun. provoked. is too pr vokng,
Just .ay 50. aud wo'il stop all joking.
W. talked to YOU A. to a man, sir,
WHY not. 20 u, A. ulen- give answer
Yru through abusive slang meander,
And deal out PITY, silly SANDER.
NeW will not call you hog, or ''vhitct,'
Or auy beast. WI rather give It
II at once, than thus drri1a You:
A. .mau.' not beast wr would thus chiie you
Wevi,l n - a beast reject you,
But tor J ,ur kindred Ne respect YOU
w IT, not feel YOUR mpus'r0us nonsense,
But twill st.n- T'r IN NOR" than one sense,
For YOU ia thi- abuse yuur nature,
Insu.t yrur readers. and Creator,
'Tis deii-lke, any way you view it
With fellow men. Wen ua' r''~''- 20
