THE GOOD OLD PLOW.

Let them sing who may of the battle fray
And the deeds that have long since pass'd;
Let them chant in praise of the tar whose days
Are spent on the ocean vast.
would render to these all the worship you please,
lw5ald honor them even now;
sut I'd give far more from my hearts full store
To the Cause of the good old Plow,
Let them lauf the notes that in music aoats
Through the bright and glittering hall
While the amoTous twirl of the hair. bri ght curl
'und the shoulder of beauty falls
But dearer to me is the song from the tree,
And the ich and blossoming bough;
o these the sweets that the rustic grects
As he follows the good old Flow
Full many there be that we daily see,
With selfish and hollow pride.
Who the Plownan's lot in his humble cot,
With a scornful look leride
But I'd rather take, aye, hearty shake
From his hand than tn wealth I'd bow;
For the honest grasp of his hands rough clasp
Has stood Ivy the good old Plow.
All honor then 10 these gray old men,
When at last they bowed with toll;
Their warfare DER they battle no more,
For they've conquered the stubborn soil:
