All hail, the glorious mornings dawn!
The birth day OF onr nation;
Wien Uncle Fam frat took his pen,
To sign the declaration
lis over eighty years ago,
Since John Bull with his lDfHMH1d,
Bet out 10 measure Bunker Hill,
but found he 'cOHfdHf come IT.
How rapidly does old Time hPi
Fleet Is CrtHtou's moWe",
But while ia boIiiage sigh,

We've grown a E,ele III ye zee,

In ptous Boston HaTbOT. t'
Young SAM who then was ''rGyt.sF green,

Has 'spread AiassIt' from Old cd'tfne,
To the Pacific Ocean.

In coming time CONF DER US;
But In word, ven briefly lay
This next years work before Ms.
sui beauty will be stealing hearts,
And rosaes be stealing purses;
still horses live by drawing carts,
And fools by drawing verses
As long as Venus streWs her sweets,
or BaehuS still carouses,
There will be riots in streets,
And weddings IN our HOUSES
Wits viii PTats, AMI courts deb7tsS

Wont dine on WatrT.gTuel.
Along the trans Atlantic VICES,
The news will be directed.

And railroad thieves detected.
In Oongress, too, our men OF might
VIII show US their good wishes,
And when they're tight, get up nsht,
About the lOavrs aud Hshrs;
And when they're bound for DaVy Jones,

Our earth may esnl, to join is friend,
The Devil or--Mahomet -
Snme politicians night and day,
Will keep up their dfsputinE;-
Sdue City SrrgeantS run away,
To save themselves FROM shoOting;-

sought Amos classic water;
Aud there committed suicide,
To save herself from slaughter
LAWYERS will kiss their clients wives,
THAT T., 90 runs the stOFy;)
And parsons carry bowie knives,
To carve their Way to glory.
While Judges who have 'kilrd their mem
In twenty private battles.
VIII cody send 4 rogue for IeR'
For stealing bahy's Ia'Jies.
The quaek who kills, with knife or pills,
10 hi or humble stations,
expects You'll pay enormous bills,
For murd'FinE your relations.
Some SAGE ia general court wiz prove.
How dOuriShing our tFadies Is;

Jokes viii be cut on 1eeIIen day, s.#I
And Ar0dts the next day after.
Priests Will rave, and brokers' shave,
Throi summer, Fan and Winter;
And I've no doubt some EracClsss knaTe,

The feHder tea that bind them;
And boldly grasp the CALLING chain,
And cAstit far behind them. ll1
