It's changes over and nature brings! fa -.It
Silent and swiftly pass the years away, t ..a .
Turning the hair of childhood hoar and gray
Sweeping from off the busy stage OF HE.
Nations and people who in toll and strife
Plodded along through all the weary years. tHF
Allotted to poor mortal in this vale OF tears -
Marking her footsteps in Earth's deep decay 5. ..
In dust of generations long since passed away
Changes full many hath it seen, .
Since The bright SUM- oer hills and valleys green
First shone on Eden-ere prmeval man. Sc
His FIRST life breath to draw began. .r
Man end maiden, friends and kindred All,
Have felt Its force--both great and small
The high and low the peasant snd the king,
When ime hath wied it, all fell wltherlng--
The stately monument, the castle wall
When Time brcahes oet them, to decay must iSil

Till Gabriel one foot on the sea, s.. .-.. ...
One on the land, with voice like oceans roar.

Csce more 10 the manner OF earlier times,
The Carrier brings you his bundle OF Rhymes
Rhymes that nge--rhymes that CRATE
Rhymes to make rhyme troubles sore his young pss
RHYMES that might tell Of An 'up" or down.
Tha. has happened to many in co,ntry and town.
Rhymes about poitics--rhymes about war
Sres and contentious both near and atar
Lot us speak now Of home~les strheths Tyre,
/ And sing Of our own chosen hear1h-stones ard hre
And chant how ii Jared us-whas life scenes we've
passed through,
Whs n the dead 's7's young life first new,
But of this more anon, and the Carrier now
Greets his friends one and all with wish and bow
Wishing his patrons that long life and good cheer
Fll their hearts and their homes on this happy New
/ Year
Thu! they do not forget he trudges along ...
With his heart full of hope, and his mouth full Of song
That they do not forget as he wends on his way,
That to day once for al they've the "depa to psy!'
1 Our town has seen change and few perhaps less.
J; Have sighed for change in the newspaper press;
And eur fierce Democrats growing wicked and wickeder
Consrired 'ganst the life Of our whilo,n Fndeator,
thai paper friend DEsN1soE published and edited
TO when honor due at all times not credited
Who had done /" dirty work. and mighty huge pile
Of that
Enough sure to prove that he was good Democrat
Enough sure to satisfy all who reasonable, s-
Whose designs the party not at all treasonabs.
But all would not do, though the Editor raved 99 a
The factonists trumpbed- d--the Vindcalor "caved,"
It's Genius left town-concuded to fly away, 7s
: To watch over the "Desnocraf' way out in lows!
When that ilated Press had succummed to its foes,
PhnRx-l like from its ashes the Union arose; .
And union ii was as tsco had control of
Although only one Of the two owned the whole OF it!
Things went swimmngy until election was over.
And they lived like pair OF twin porkers in clover
i And then the sole concluded that he alone,
To guide the Democracy had better be alone; .r...
Il So one fine winters morning, how tragic alas +-'
One partner went out With kick in the-pass
We over this scene il is painful to dwell upon, 81 ~ ~
Or of one of the craft ugly stories to tell upon. s
But truth is our moto we've got quite enough Of that
The Onion had Kicked out its only true Democrat,
