Federal satrap, who repeats at his will the
enactments of our Legislature, puts his

color of authority, beyond what may be de-
rived from the orders of his superiors at
Washington. There will an end of this

The Song of the Drum.

revolutionary tmes-his father carried it in til,
Mexican war, aud it is now a third time madt
available during one of our great historical ep
ochs
Beat away, boy each blow that falls
On my ancient and well-worn head,
Carries me back 10 the stirring times
When followed where Washington led
When my voice leapt forth in a village street
Beneath your grandsires hand,
And men came flying on willing feet
To fight for their native land
Whent trembling hands OF the fair young
wltc
Hid her face to conceal her pain
Through her slender fingers the tear drop fel
On my head, like the summer rain.
ltcll you boy, your stoutest blow,
After all these weary years
Cannot thrill M now, as memory does,
Of your grandmother's parting tears.
Every success of that wonderous war
Your old companion shared
aided to spread the blessed news
When peace WAS at last dc ciared.
Your father and were playnatcs then,
And he listened with childish gee
To the glorious scenes promised him,
When he Went to the wars with me.
found With pride, in after years,
My teachings were not forgot,
For my voice was blcnt in the victories
That marked Ihe ctrecr of Scott
On battle field. in a foreign land,
Many a time and oft
I've seen the flag love SO we'll,
Waving in triumph aloft
Now in defence ofour government,
The noblest under the sun
In the hands OF the third generation
Pcals forth the poor old drum
So beat away, bang away, boy
Your blows fall light as n fe either,
Under flying stripes, and flGttcrng stars,
Wen yet march home together.
