THE BATTLEO OF MORRIS ISLAND.
A CHEERFUL TRAGEDY .

(Aia s=-'' Hing Of shs 0smibaI LsIdmGs.'l
The morn was cloudy and dark and gray,
When the first Columbiad blaEed away,
Showing that there was the d. to pay
With the braves on Norris Island
They fred their cannon agaia and again,
Hoping that Major Anderson's men
Would answer back, but twas all in vain
At FIRST, on Morris Island;
Hokee pokee, winxee wum,
Shattering shot and laundering bomb,
Fiddle and fife and ratteling drum,
At the battle of Morris Island
At length, as rose the morning sun,
Fort Sumter fred single gun,
Which made the chivalry want TO run
Away from Morris Island;
But they had made SO much of a boast
OF their fancy batteries on the coast,
That each felt bound to stick to his post
Down there on Morris Island;
Hokee pokee, winkee wum, etc.
Then there was firing in hot haste;
The chivalry stripped them to the waist,
And, brave as lions, they sternly faced
Their grog on Morris Island
The spirit of Seyenty-six ragged high,
The cannons roared and the men grew dry
Twas marvellous like the Fourth of July,
That fight on Morris Island !!
Hokee pokee, winkee wum, etc.
All day they fought, till the night came down |;
It rained the fellows were tired and blown,
And they wished they were safely back to town,
Away from Morris Island
One can't expect the brayest men
To shoot their cannons off in the rain,
So oil grew peaceful and still again,
AT the works on Morris Island.
Hokee pokee, winkee wum, etc.
But after the heroes all had slept,
To his gun each warrior swiftly leaped,
Brisk as the numerous feas that crept
In the sand on Morris Island;
And all that day they fred their shot,
Heated in furnaces, piping hot
Hoping to send Fort Sumter to pot
And glory TO Morris Island.
Hokee pokee, winkee wum, ETC."
Finally, wearying of the joke,
Starved with hunger and blind with smoke
From blazing barracks of pine and oak
Set FIRE from Morris Island,
The gallant Anderson struck his flag
And packed his things in carpet-bag,
While cheers from bobtail, rag, and tag,
Arose on Morris Island.
Hokee pokee, winkee wum, etc.
Then came the comforting piece of fun
OF counting the noses one by one,
To see if anything had been done
On glorious Morris Island;
Nobody hurt" the cry arose
There was not missing single nose,
And this was the sadly ludicrous close
Of the battle of Morris Island
Hokee pokee, winkee wum, etc.
But, gentle gunners, you have seen
What kind of battle the last has been;
You didn't escape so easily,
Last time on Morris Island
There's man in Washington with will,
Who don't mind shooting little 4" to kill, !"

We are happy to- announce that Mscon is
