Ans,kss New Years day hss teuet
&ad alial bgSeIea nlg6luG
heaind us that u oaaielsal faaieh
Our days sud years are hyinai
Another year of cloud and sun,
On smiles and tears combining;
o. frost and now--of bud and Bloom
Wild storms aud suabopma shinin6i
Another year has passed away
And leit It's crime and glory,
To glld and blot forever more
The worlds historic story.
Another year lies fair below,
And frem It's threshold EsEing,
We backward turn our earnest eyes,
The Great All-Glyer praising,
For blessings, BY His hand bestowed,
Through b0unteous Nature flowing,
While lessons from the past we learn
For better onward going.
THn SEASONS.
Since New Years Day, one year agons
Tue Seasons In their round have down.
Rirst, WINTER cold held ruthless sway
And locked IN float FOR many day
Both land and Sea, while blazing bright
Warm hoarth-drOs cheered the Wintry niRht,
And seclal gatherings, glad and gay,
Sped the swift hOura 10 Joy away
Then SPKISo Ger southern hills, bedght
Miih Wild flowers sweet, came tripping light,
Singing Of summers light and aOWeIa,
Sweet prieateas OF the golden houra
Then SuHHER, rich with fragrant life,
And every form Of beauty life.
Next AUTUMN, fraught with plentOous store,
Rich ffutls, and gIanAfiea running Ger,
Crowned the glad year With golden shehVss,
Entwined With gorgeous Autumn leaves,
While yeomsnY glad with generous spoil
Sang blitheiy At their honest toll,
Rejnlolng In the abundant yield,
Gods blessing on the harvest Aeid;
Till now cid Winter, stern and boar.
CHAINS the bare Earth In frost once more.
THE EUROPEAN WAR.
The while the seasons onward rolled
Across the New World aud the Old,
O'er Europe's plains, 50 famed 10 story,
War shock his horrid pinions CORY;
While wild and high the uproAt rose
Of Nations struggling With their foes
See Italy, falr land Of song
AAd arts contending with her wrongs,
With GaIibaldi In The van,
Backed BY the shrSWd Napoleon;
While Tureos, Louayea fierce and Wild,
Charge DER the bleeding bodies, piled
Where AuHtria's hiieling legions SIGHT
10 beat back Liberty and right
They yield they hyi behold advance
The banners Of victorious France
Back, Austria, from thy bleeding prev
You own not Italy to-day
But hold I shall Freedoms friends rejoice
n it quite certain there's much choice
.tN1t hhphburehs houso Of evil fans
And peIjnred Leuls' deeds of shame
Oh Italy rent, torn, oppressed,
Which bloody tyrant Is the best!
KANSAS.
Lol Kansas, In our own "Great West"
From bloody wrongs uprising,
Shakes OF the power Of Froedom's foes
Their whips and chains dsspisingl
In spite Of border-rufian raids.
And Democratic tFeason-
In spite Of bayOnets and bribes
Leeompton's out Of season.
shamei that a nations ruling power
Backs up fierce banditt
10 plunge IN murder, rapine, wrong,
By light Of burning ei iesi
But triumph, glory, honor, praise,
10 northern sons and daurhters
Who nailed their free Gag 10 the mast
Md all those bloody slaughtersl
shame to those legislators, base
Who forged the chains 70 bind emil
But piaudits 70 the noble men
Who cast those chains behind 'eml
OLD BUCK.
Nov to the East we turn our eyes,
To Washington Attending
And find sold Buck" In water hot
bis policy defending.
Foor man, his fate Is surely hard
For friends and foes combining
His weak Administration curse
And recommend resigninR,
Forney and Douglas with a host
OF quondam friends f1raake him,
And executions loud and deep
On every hand Ger take him.
4LaAtoL 70 rEeeuom he has proved.
Let Kansas tell the story
The record Of Buchanan's shame
And border-ruilan glory
We pity while we exeorato
The tool Of propsRandists
Who backed with governmental roVsr
The base Missouri Banditsi
JOHN BROWN.
shadow wraps the land in gloom
cloud sweeps DER as fraught with DOOR
vail comes floating on the wind
frantic cry OF terror, blind
A maddeued shout Of furious hate
A wicked blow-a cruel fate
A grOan of indignation deep
A Hash Of hre from eyes that weep-
What mgy this cause Of terror be-
John Brown OF OssaRatomiei
grey old hero, fred with wrong,
Armed with the weak against the strong;
Made fearless by faith sublime,
Like martyrs Of the Olden time,
Faced death and met itl--low he lies;
VINO says for naught the martyr dissl
say II was madness formed the plan
What thenl he was the friend of maai
his blood can never cry In vain;
II rpHts apart the tyrauts chains; -
Dead "for a eanse," that cause shall feel
The power Of thy sublime appeal
Brave, errtng son Of Liberty,
John Brown of OssaWattouiiei
