CHAHAcTERs: JOHN,
A last boy Of BrOd'rick
Bits musiDg alone;
All his LOreiv companions
Have got up and gone.

to beet at laying the wires.
JOnH.
Good morrow, Jack-what's new today

The times ere hard and money scarce,
And matters daily growing worse.
JOHN.

JAcx.
According to my nOtes and figures.
We're bound to have right merry thunder
Tomake the scurvy Blacks knock under.
They say they went for uS before,
And cannot do Il any more
That one good turn deserves another,
And tho they gladly call Us brother,
This time they're bound 70 have ticket,
Zen though Ihs Demoerats may lick Il.
That Wsshburn Of the TWAs below,
Told them the law wss even N;
You know without their aid We have.
The thing Is up and We muSt cave.
JOHN.
For that, think Il time on Dave
For you and eli II US 10 cave.
II may not do just nOw 70 let on,
but be will never d. IL bet on.

You know what then We both expected.
What has he done to serve his fTicnds!-
What dune for State OF party ends!
'Twi1i you and the, no single thing,
That Can see worth mentioning.
JACK.
He curS'd old Cass denounced old Buck,
And 'RHin't slave drivers run muck

OfthOSe Lscompton buccaneers.
JOHN.
Tie true he did just ss you say.
but curses, Jack, will never pay.
Dare draMa three th0uaand " scads" year,
And mileage twice that sum or near.
To him such curaes may be funny,
But to us bays who have no money

And may Meath eross beam choke,

T" serve like ungratefnl friend.
What have We TO expect from him!
You must eOnfrss the chance 10 slim

Why he'll not do Il DER sgain?
JAcK.

To rid u u the worthless cuas.

JAcK.

Since he became the Niger hero,
And tried u place his dArky brothers
On equal ground with ~ and others.

And have found where'er I ROAM,
That charity begins at hume.
