But there are other hlngS IN town'
(Which sometimes get some OF US DOWN. d
We are TOO fast, loo sharp and Jrisky,
And drink q great--deal loo much whiskey.
And when tina, cant be gotten handy,
We take a little snort OF brandy;
And once when both OF these did fail,
| saw some boys get tight on Ale.
| These things we do without nnce thinking,
That they will lead US on 10 drinking.
But boys, stop! you are going 10 hell,
(That is rough, but the TRUTH I'll ieiL)
Fiery seas and boiling lakes,
Huge dark fends, and kissing snakes.
Mountains disgorging foods OF fire,
And other scenery much more dire,
Arrayed as il in sheer deGision
Will soon bust on your frighted vision
lStop; drink no more, the Wine cups wave,
It is an AGENT for the GRAVE.
BIT Notwithstanding all our vices,
There is no reduction in the prices,
OF Com and Oats and Flour and Meat,
And other JeIicacies sweet.

And will, until there comes a crash,
And then al that important crisis,
Well get our food at living prices.
Our merchants still are making sales,
By wholesale or in single bales,
Supplying each and every call,
And beng aGable 10 all.
Wy H. It,, ~ ,,,zJlinte oil the time
And some of which we put in Rhyme,
With our M1shcen, that's always ready,
And grinds il Out straight, fair and steady
We've one thing, in which l see no point,
Something someN here is out of joint,
Why so divide up our society?
With lines aud names Of such variety.
There's Shanghai, Bantam, and Cochinchina,
Names imported from South Carolina,)
To designate The several classes,
And make harifeelings in the masses.
The Shanghai'S and the little Bantem's.
OF late have gone down ten per cen,um,
While the rest s:e so much. below par,
We can't tell tohnt their values are,
These names we think will soon wear out,
For such things always change about
Then true worth will find IFS level,
Aud starched preiensionS 60 10 the bugs
And now one word for the "Coronet Band,'
The sweetesi players in the land,
They are always ready and in tune,
In March or April, May or June,
And if their services you require,
Just write TO B. F. Larsh, Esquire,
Who is The acting Secretary
And does all matters epiStolary.
But O, by jing, here is one thing,
Bout which | surely ought TO sing.
IT'S these old Bachelors, sticking 'round
In every nook about the town.
You old patsimonious w%itleIed scamps,
Who are alwaysgrunting with pIinso or cramps
What will you do when you getOMf
You'll die /! The tales all told.
Then all the wealth abo'Ll your stations,
Will 60 10 feed some ? Jor relation.
Your very memory vi be rubbed out,
Not even leaving o gteasy spot.
Then GO right ont, and get a wife,
And begin again your useless life.
Do something 10 %increase the Nation,
And meet the women's appreciation.
And last not least, my dear sweet girls,
For you | have retained the pearls,
OF this my vsrigoied song,
Which now is growing rather long.
You are me spplas OF pure gold,
Set in ~silver's richest fold,
lSpHkling eyes and b~!ushing beauty,
t(Haigh.a-l'n try to 10 my du:y,)
That send a pure anG polished dart,
Through every True and feeling heart.
Go OIL and joy shall light your way,
In oil you DO and all you say,
And when your cup OF life is even,
You shall Sweetly rest in heaven.
Now fienus, my little song is ended,
BY you | ask 10 be befrienGed;
Pm poor you know-Pm nothing shorter,
So please give me a III or QUARTER,
And take my song and read it through,
Perhaps il may be something new,
If not, | think ii is expedient,
For me 10 say
Your mosi obedient,
THE CARRIER,
