Rebelion's dead, the Nigs are free,
All hail the year ofsixty- three,
That tears the fetters from the hand
.Ofoyery Mig thr oughout tho land,
Throughout tho South lot freedom ring
Rise up ye woolly heads and sing,
For ne'sr on earth did mortas see
So many Nigs at once set free.
Your Father Abraham Of late
Has caused the mighty seal Of State
To be affixed TO the decree
That makes all slaves forever free
You now can 90 whore 'sr you ploase
Though covered DER with lice and dcas,
Aud got your bread by honast means,
Or live on Abrams pork anu beans.
Again, say, you Niggers rise.
And wipe The tears from out you eyes;
For never more shall slavery
Disgrace this land of liberty.
(NIG's REPLY TO ABRAHAM.)
eh, Massa Abram, here we cum,
Hhrk to dc banjo, tsdeum
DE LOr' will bress dy soul in trufe
For freeing us while in de Ssuf.
We long hab looked to see do cum,
An when we hear de ratlin' drum
We left de wife an chile to hum,
An tC de NOrf we safely cum.
Now, Abram, all we ask Oh le
Is to set or wives and children free
And bring them to Us in dis city Tpity
Where de white folks show de slave such
Oh, yes we almost did forgot
To say We need house and lot, TtrUat,
And some pork and beans to grease our
While dc gemmens' luggage rouudwe toGt
Wen nebar leab de Uncle Abe,
Till cold an dead we're in de grabe
But, children we will be OBJ Dc,
Cause dOu hast made dis nation free.

But, bark what sounds are those We i cal ,
Though distant first at present near,
That makes our yitals qua Ike within
hike Beishozzar's knees for ancieu. sin
j. is the tramp Of Southern men,
Who spring frou every bill and ylon
And swear they'll die their righ,s 20 save
Or, moulder.ng lie within the grave.
Their nmps are sire ched alor- ,ho lins6-
In open felds-auIuug tnr p'les,
Are seen the lurid watch-hres glare
That lc.s US know SeUo,h are t ere.

Fen Southern matrons feel tho sting
That Ieelom T. the slave void bring.

UNION SOLDIERS s0LLoQUT.)
The Union soldier, pale and lean,
Asks in his heart, what can ,his mean,
That the cause for which Cnme to fight,
Like Jouah's Gourd fades in a mighty
Was not the nation worth tho blood
which free ne water has been she'd
To restore The Union as it was
For freedom, justice, and the laws
That We should seek another plea
To show our great philanthropy
As though the cause on which we sIOod
Was undeserving Of our blood.
His brave heart sickens at the thought
OF the many battles he has fought
To plant the Stars and Stripes again
On every hill, in every plain.
He sits and thinks of friends at bom e --
Ofa wife with whom he loved to roam -
CT children dear, who used to play
Upon his knee at close Of day,
Revolving this within his mind
The cruel fate ofhuman kind
He, dreaming, secs that banner furled
That once gave hopes 10 all .he world.
His eyes grow din--his frame grows weak !
lie tries his miEuty thoughts to speak;
But, .rgmbGng sinks beneath the weight
That seals in death the soldiers fate.
