The Harp Of a Thousand, /,

Come generous friends little while,
And listen TO my song,
And though my subject is very great,
My story won't be long.
I'm going to sing about the times,
And several other things
Wen sing the words and play the tune
Ou a Harp Of y Thousand Strings.
Religion, Politics and Law.
Are raging under par
As seen by microscopic aid,
la pulpit, forum. nar:
A focus brought on rithcr one.
The same result still brings
\ human being playing away
On Harp of u thousand Strings.
The preachers don't as they used to do
In the good old days gone by;
!hey used to preach of souls Of men.
mi they made the women cry
n"t 'hey read their sermons now a.days,
And the choir strikes up Z: sing
And the folks can't Join when the tune il
p!ayd
On Harp Of n Thousand Strings.
Inc members don't "a they used 10 do
Their Zeal and loves grown cold;
They're thinking Of the corn they've raised
And how to get more gold.
Ana though the preacher reads quite well
Their conscience never sunps;
they'd rather steal the crown of cold.
And Harp of a Thousand Strings.
The politician used to be
man of some renown;
Now, half dozen would besuch
Are found in every town;
For when one finds he can make speech.
Or soar on buzzard's wings
lie mounts hobby and plays away
Oa Harp of Thousand Strings.
No matter how corrupt he is
How oft he turns his coat:
The nomination sets him right
lie gets the peoples vote.
lie eats his fill at the public crib,
lie drinks Mt the public springs
The charm succeeds-he plays so vel!
On the Harp of Thousand Strings.
Then let us take n hasty view
OF Justice and the Bar;
Alas how quickly we di>earu,
How altered all things are;
The sword and scales are little used.
The culpril seldom swings;
For gold will make the lawyers play
On Harp Of n The cusand Strings
SO turn your eyes to every part
Of Uucle Sans machine,
You'll find screw that's working loose,
Some place that need, a pin.
But must end my story now,
Although my muse still brings,
A verse or two for every chord
On Harp of Thousand Strings.

The Editors deem it useless To say any
Thing relative 10 the character of the pro-
posed New Book, nor need they say that il
will be the rost amusing work that has
been issued IN half u century, for, il need
only be known that "slosE" wrote il, to
satisfy nil on these points. While it will
be an amusing work illustrated with pro.
per designs aud cuts to show up persons
and things in their true light. il will be free
from Fulgdrity, and, will have for its chief
objecl the correction of the many absurd.
lies so prevalent iu the present day.
IL will be book OF over 100 pages prin-
ted on good material. and bound in paper
cover. We propose to put il to press us

ceived 10 justify the expense of publishing.

MARDI GRAs IN NEv ORLEANs-At the close
Of the season of the Carnival, the people of New
Orleans have masque or satuFnalia, headed by
the doinGs of a cInb called the 'Siystiek Krewe,"
at the Gniety Theatre. The Courier has the
following sketch OF The mummery:
Just a. we arrived, the "Krewe, having made
many aud marvellous tracks "a ough sone of
Our principal streets, were entering the theatre
and we bchcli the most SrOte>que, dro!l and
fantastic collection Of mummcTS imaginable
'Hvathe II gods and goddesscs meat rare" and
beast, bird, and fish, vcIitable and fabulous,
were in proiusiou. All that the most Ingenious
fancy aud ianciful ingenuity could invent Or pro-
duce seemed to find place ia that merry band
Of maSqucrS. Fun, frolic aud fivnlity seemed
to have gone n,ad. aad half of New OrlcamS with
them. We formed portion of twenty thousand
spectators who were crowded, pushed, showed,
ioSlled or hustled il LchOldInS their progress
thIOgh the streets. aud formed also a portion
of 4 smaller, but nevertheless Iarge collection of
persons who effected their eniIace TO the thea
tire too late to obtain nook corner whence
they could see either one Of the four tnbleauX,
and therefore we iEcoutinCntly left, and cail
ly speak 1f the perioI man:c from hearsay but
we a-e informed, upon competent authority, that
they were very fine aud very funny.
The ball that succeeded the tabeaux was kept
up To a late hour the next morning, aud ne un-
derstand that "all went merry as marriage
bell" This quotation Is used in this connection
for tie first lime. Wei, the festival Of the
"Mystick Krewen is over, and they ard many
OF their friend had u delightful time, and we are
glad Of it.
Mardi Grus, like Christmas, Games hut once
year, Hnd one should make the most oft. Life
is 50 exceeding short.
