OF THE

A happy New Year to each patron and reader,
A Tollicking, frollcklag, Jolly good time,
Is the wish Of the boy that carrisa the Leader,
And furnishes each Of you now with hia rhyme
What changes have come DER our once hapPy
What 4 mighty rebellion's sprung up in the land
How the men who lately stood highest Ia station
In the ranks Of the rebels have taken thell
stand.
Prolific in orders and long prOclRmstions,
Was the year which lately has drawn 20 close,
A great year for darkies TO guilt the plantations,
A good year for dealers IN old shoddy clothes.
For alas be Il said, that among ne are many
Who while filing the air with their shouts and
Put theiF hands In their pockets, and take the
OF Ia gallant defender. of tn stripes and tn
stars.
The past was year for bestowing Of favors
A year Of great deeda, and Of glsring mishaps,
And men have been pleased Ike Apaek OF young
When they first sailed forth with their new
shoulder straps.
Just walk through the streets of our own Forest
Any sunshlny day, I'll lag you a wager
You viii meet some old friend fresh from the com.
Where they've made him Captains Colonel or
Major.
For the ladies', fair creatures wont speak to fel
Unless he's all covered with buttons and spurs,
II a man lent striped either red, blue OF yellow,
Each damsel ayoWs he shan never be hers.
Far away to the South, in the Kingdom OF Cotton,
When they ared upon Sumter they opened the
Twin teach them lesson that viii ns'er be for.
TIL Inc last Of the rebels is drove to the wall.
In Charleston that hot-bed Of traitors and tories,
Where rebels hrst mounted secession cockndes,
The people are learning the beauties and RlOries,
OF one Of old Abraham's Union blockRdes.
Those southern chaps boasted, and said they
Give wsJ to their traitors their thieves and their
liars,
On land and on sea they vowed they would rake
And destroy the citles of fresmen by arss.
But the "mudsIIls Of freedom, 4" and greasy me
In the land OF Palmettoes have taken their stand
And the chivalry" Few In the worst Of all panics
When the "hirelings Of Lincoln marched down
on their land
And out in Missouri old Price he soon grew sick
OF earning the honou ard glOries Of war,
For Muligan gave him some excellent music,
When he fought TO the tune Of Erin-go-braghl'
Though the rebels are boasting o their freedom
In vain they've appealed to all courts that sr'
But their asecssh confederacy" founded OF
At last has been recognized down ct Fort
Warren.
They may taunt Us as Yankees, ss "Psdlers '
or = venders,"
But Columbia's sons are endowed with q spirit
And love for true freedom. that never EuTe1ders
love for their country which all true meu
inherit.
With stringhGm, Dupont and Wilkes on the
ocean,
Wen make lively work with their battering
The heets Of secession viii be thrown in com
motions
When they get in contact with old Uncle Sans
And while we've man like Mcclellan TO lead Us
Our forces shall triumph wherever they 60,
Nor stop till they conquer the last Of seceders,
And wind up the kingdom Of Davis and Co.
Then do not be worrying. grumbling or fretting,
should We have reverses, don't get In fright
Our watehwUrdi is Z" forward and never forgetting
Were fighting the battles Of Justice and Right
Although England perchanes may think it is be
| tnrn
To kick up muss with her Yankee relations,
She may do IS she likes but one thing is certain,
Johnny BtiH can never be BoS,s1 Of AL nstions.
With other folks matters he's always been busy,
Either picking quarrel, or sending bullet
/ Though he's used % hard drinking, he'll Zee
mighty dizzy
II he gets 'Gil Columbia poured down his gullei
so to-day al your glasses, and let us be merry,
Let's drink 10 the soldier boys Of In the warS,
/ Wen give them q bumper in the best Of oil
Hurfah f0t the UEIou, the Stripes, and the Stars
/ When again, Columbia's sons are united,
In peace we win dwell TIL the world is no more
/ Our Union q States when al wrongs have beei
Agai5 shall b seen in the old ThiFty.f0gF.
