The Sweet Little Man.
DEDICATED TO THE STAY AT HONE RANGERS.

DEDICATED TO THE STAY AT HOME RANGERS.
Now. while our soldiers are fighting our battles,
Each at his post to do all that he can,
Down among rebels and contraband chattels.
What are you doing, my sweet little man!
All the brave boys under canvas are sleeping,
All of them pressing to march with the van,
Far from the home where their sweethearts are
weeping,
What are you waiting for, sweet little man?
You with the terrible warlike mustaches,
Fit for colonel or chief of a clan,
You with the waist made for belts and sashes
Where are your shoulder straps, sweet little man!
Bring him the buttonless garment of womanl
Cover his face lest it freckle and tan,
Muster the Apron-String Guards on the Common,
That is the corps for the sweet little man
Give him for escort file of young misses,
Each of them armed with deadly rattan,
They shall defend him frem laughter and Kisses,
Aimed by low boys at the sweet little man.
All the fair maidens about him shall cluster,
Pluck the white feathers from bonnet and fan,
Make him plume like a turkey wing duster,
That is the crest for the sweet little man
O. but the Apron String Guards the fellows !
Drilling each day since our troubles began.
brelas ~
That is the style for the sweet little man
Have we a nation to save? In the first place,
Saving ourselves is the sensible plan
Surely the spot where there's shooting's tho worst
place
Where can stand, says the sweet little man.
Catch me coniding my person with strangers
Think how the cowardy Bull-Runners ran
In the brigade of the Stay Home Rangers
Marches my corps, says the sweet little man
Such was the stuff of the Malakof-takers,
Such the soldiers that scaled the Redan;
Trueulent houscmaids and blood thirsty Quakers,
Brave not the wrath of the sweet little man
Yield him the sidewalks, We nursery maidens
Saare qni peut ] Bridget and right about Ann
Fierce shark in a school of menhadens,
See him advancing, the sweet little man.
When the red fails of the battlefield threshcrs
Beat out the continents wheat from its bran,
While the wind scatters the chaffy Seceshers,
What viii become of our sweet little man?
When the brown soldiers come back from the bor-
ders,
How will he look while his feathers they scan
How viii he feel when he gets marching orders,
Signed by his lady love? sweet little man
Fear not for him, Though the rebel expels him
Life is too precious to shorten its span!
Woman her broomstiek shall raise to protect him,
Will she not fight for the sweet little man?
Now then nine cheers for the Stay Home Ranger
Blow the great fish horn and beat the big pan
First in the field that is the farthest from danger
Take your white feather plume, sweet little man
