GADIz SENTIN g {,
Last night, with mO4rnsul wall and cry,
The OLD YEAR laid hiR down to die;
He shrouded bis form ia Winters SHOWS,
A nd gasped. the while, 10 deaths wild throes
And ere the sun rose from the wave,
Old "Sixty-twO" laid IN his grave.
But from his bosom spraEg q boy,
Whose red chesk glowed with yeuthful Joy
His wild shout rang-"Hurrah for me
Pm EIGHFEEN HUSDRED aND Sixty. FHREsn
Then away DER hill and dale be sped, 81
And left me with the aged dead, 1s 1881
"'Tis well,", / tho't;- from springs Rrst bud
Till Winters frost-he walked in blood;
"Grim vissged War; had shown his front,
And foe met foe in battles bRint. 90 siai
| we'll remember when the year was young,
In silent suspense our people hung, Iff
For wars black cloud enwrapt our land
From Prairie to Atlantic strand,
But bark! The silence soon is broke!
See the cloud OF battery smoke - ?
See Fort, Donelson's rough, hard walls
Sink meath the h i'll OF harder balls &
See swords fash that never rust,
See rebel standards trail the dust, tE".

! Next came Shiloh's bloody fields sl d. q
Where men could die, but could not yield
Here breasts were torn by shot and she'll
Here's the spot where CARRIcK fell;

And yet the cloud of war rolled on, ...f
And darker still the cloud had grown,

Sweeping on, mingled It's Hood ror fs.ts
In red Antietam's waves OF bloodj .,..
Here again the rifles peal,
Mingled with the clash Of steal; ,i-j -a .I-

Amid the fierce combatlants yell, is .,

Their Ii blood oozed out on the ground.
And still the cloud OF rolled round, ,E . s
On Ken ucky,s dark and bloody ground"
At Perryvile we met the foe again,
And bought the field with hundreds slain;
Oh, God, 'tis aw ul! Shall terror reign
Forever o'er this fair domain? .Ir.-t Tia
Oh, may the war in honor cease g a..

Old Abe, tie honest, sis in his chair,
And tells his silly Anecdotes there;
And contra actors may steal-ior he cares not
so " Grjn,sley" has a share lin the pot"
The Treasury is OPEN who wants may rob
So contrast is open for .fliai Bob .n
And Abe, the homes, and Simon the pure,

And Simon kept grabbing and grabbed ever,

And then gave honest old Ahram share.
But the people 'cund he felony out, ''
And raised loud indignant shoul;
And Simon wcnt to Russia rover.
Till the dust they raised would have time II

And wo'd had time, I'd rehearse the cheat

How they have shivered when the winte

Now il yoQ please I'll SHIFT the scene, r
And Pope in brass and feathers is seen;
Superceding Mcclellan The true,
And Dragging what great things he d do.
So he went in. lemons and got well squeezed,
And also had his baggage seized. 4
The troops gazed on their comrades slain,
And clanored or Mcclellan again.
| An anecdote still had Abe to tell o- #'
/ As he hears the country's mineral knell;
And Stanton ard Seward got into a row,
And engaged in nice little game Of see saw
First Stanton is up, and Seward is down,
Then Stewards on top" is the cry all a

Then Stanton to prove tiat he was quit
smart,
Rose before day and gave Seward the start
Then followed quick the proclamation
Of African emancipation,
Declaring all the negers free,
And better far than you or me.
! And while the war is raging South,
Our neighbors pass in the prisons mouth
And Habess Corpus lberty'sr BOOM
Was tbrcttled in the dungeons gloom,
The laws forgot-the Constitution broke
By Stanlon's cruel treason stroke.
Liberty r is the cry that falls 4a g4.
Upon our ears from prison walls;
"a change! q chaage!' is The wild echo,
And Democrats gird them for the blow.

The "nigs" were driven TO their holes;
Aud weakened were the prisons locks
When the Buckeyes yelled, "Bully 70

And M. C,'s with njggerism rife,
Will retire to the shades of private life.

And from impous hands the ermine wrench
Dave Tod looked black--is il wonder,
When he heard that Democratic thunder?
The Hoosiers and Keystones. on either flank
Drove back the ''woolies" rack on rank;
What glorious sight was there revealed,
When Abolition fled the aeld
Scarce 2 month had passed away, I, t,s .t
