Rather a sublime achievement,
Stealing Jove'sred, crooked arrows, -
Strengthening them 20 suit the business,
Shooting them with such bow string
Through two thousand miles of ocean!
Jove himself caved in and owned it,
Owned the corn that Cyrus beat him, s
Beat him, shooting his own arrows.
But John Sake, who tried to sing him,
Tried in Harper's mammoth weekly,
Harper's seeakiy picture paper,
Failed, and made pteous fzzle.
Mighty John, the great Vermonter,
Better wreak his wits On punning.''
"And you've heard of Frazer's Riyera"
Muse, just take another apple
S'pose you'd like glass of cider,
But joined the Washingtonians
When a small enc, so don't use it,
And not using it. don't keep it:
But suppose you try some sulphur
Sulphur-water from the college,
From the iIl-kept college fountain,
Wish they'd fix as ii should be,)
6 Wal, as was saying, Frazer's
Is great attraction, nowadays;
And Pixies Peak in sunny Kansas,
(That is, sunny when the sun shines,)
That, too, makes no small excitement.
Let old fogies talk of lode-stone,
And its marvellous attraction;
Modern times have found that quartz rock,
That which has the veins of yellow,
Is the surest, strongest magnet
That there is in all creation;
Draws the farthest, draws its thousands,
Men by thousands 10 it's presence.
''As to books, you've read smiles S;aneish,''
That last song Of Henry Wadsworth's,
Best of all the songs he's written,
That sweet, mellow song, .'Mles Standish,''
With it's Puritan Priscilla, ~
And her lover, young John Alden,
With its fresh and human feeling,
With its swinging, dreamy measure,
Ringing, like the far off Ginning
Oh the village bells at sunset,
When it fuctuates on the zephyr
Upthe twilight of the mountains"

Soon as they have paid The carrier,
In adUGnce for his gears paper,
They had better go and get it, ~ rtH
Get it of our friend 10. Lindsey.
Joseph Lindsey, at his Bookstore.
Now, Miss Muse Of Hiawatha,
Can't you tell us what shall happen,
Ere this year that we've begun on,
From its round and perfect fullness,
Shrinks, and like a cheese in harvest,
Lessons TO a waning crescent,
Till there's nothing but cheese-rind
Left, of all these thirteen moon >months!
VIII Old Buck gel short of whskey,
Good old rye" and take to strychnine,
Whiskey made of corn and strychnine!
Will the noble sons Of Kansas
into this Glorious Union!
Be state, in spite of Cotton.
Will Friend Cyrus fix his fsh-line,
Fix bis great Atlantic fish-line,
So twill fish the 5rine-soaked lightning
From the bottom of the ocean.
What Ounce to think Of sending
Fire through water, such distance,
xh fh s
Night have known it would have quenchedit)
But he'd better get it working,
lust to save the "cable poems att
From the great chagrin of failure.
Pity such world OF doggerel
