A Dollar or Two


With curious steps tread our way through
This intricate world as other folks do,
May we still on our journey be able to view
The benevolent face Of a dollar or two.
For an excellent thing
Is a dollar or two;
No friend is so true
As dollar or two;
Through country or town,
As we pass up and down,
No passport so good
As a dollar two.
Would you read yourself out of the bachelors crew,
And for the hand of a pretty young female sue
You must always be ready the handsome to do
Although it may cost you a dollar or two.
Loves arrows are tipped
With dollar or two
And affections are gained
With dollar or two
In advancing your suit,
The best yOu can meet
Is the eloquent chink
Of dollar or two
Would you wish your existence with faith to imbue,
And enroll in the ranks of the sanctied few
To enjoy good name and well cushioned pew?
You must freely come down with a dollar or two.
The gospel is preached
For dollar or twO
And salvation is reached
By dollar or two
You may sin sometimes,
But the wcrst of all crimes
Is to find yourself short
Of dollar OF two.

our troops. The capture was effected by two gdR-
boats, on the Sd, with little opposition. A few
shells dispersed the rebel force. The remaining
portion of the population were found to be in

supplies from the seaboard, and the resources
