Mlisttllaneous Aeabmg
YANKEE DOODLE.

In the summer of ITS, the British army
under command Of Abercrombie, lay encamp-
ed on the first bank of the Hudson River,
awaiting rcinforoenents Of militia from the
eastern states, previous to marching upon
Ticonderoga. During the month of June,
these raw levies poured into camp, company
after company, each man differently armed,
equipped and accoutred from his neighbor,
and the whole presenting such spectacle as
was never equaled, unless by the celebrated
regiment of merry Jack Fallstah;
Their outre appearance furnished great
amusement to the British officers. One DR..
Shacksburg, an English surgeon, composed
the tune of Yankee Doodle, and arranged it
to words, which were gravely dedicated to
the new recruits. The joke took, and the
tune has come down to this day. The orig
inal words, which we take from Farmer &
Moore's Historical Collections, published in
1924, we have not, however, met with before
in many years.
Father and went to camp,
Along with Captain Goodwin,
Where we see the inen and boys
As thick as hasty-puddiDg.
There was Captain Washington
Upon slappng stallion,
A giving orders to his men
guess there was million.
And then the feathers on his hat,
They look'd so tarnal fna,
wanted peskiy to get
To give to my Jenima
And there they had swamping gun
As large MS log of maple,
On deuced little cart
A load for fathers cattle:
And every time they fired it off,
1t took horn of powder;
1t made noise like fathers gun,
Only nation louder
went MS near to it myself
As Jacobs underpinnin,
And father went as near again
thought the deuce was in him.
And there see little keg,
Its heads were made Of leather
They knocked upon with little sticks
To call the folks together.
And there they fred away like fun,
And played on cornstock fddles,
And some had ribbons red as blood,
All wound about their middles
The troopers, too would gallop up
And fire rightin our faces;
II scar'd me almostto death
To sec them run such races.
Old uncle Sam come there to change
Some pancakes and some onions,
For lasses cakes to carry home
To give his wife and young ones.
But can't tell you half see
They kept up such a smother;
So took my Int off-made bow,
And scampered home to mother.
