and black" page l8.l
The white Irish woman loves black men,
and in the old country, it has been stated that
the negro is sure of the handsOmest among the
moor white females. The fusion, when it
takes place, will be of infinite service to the
Irish. They are a moro brutal race. and low
er in civilization than the negro. Page 90

great part Of the soldiers were Germans. Al
the depot were carriages which took Us to the

had light to vote or whether we formerly
resided in tie State. Afterwards we were
treated with ale and all other things we might
eat md drink. am convinced that every
soldier Of The 900 voted once, and nlaay
two or three times, although We belonged to
PennsY lyania, OHIO, Michigan, Maryland and

violent pains in rhe stomach; cocktails were
in vain. His wife, unwilling to disturb the
servants, went into the kitchen and make a
mustard poutice, which she spread on her
gwn handkerchief. Returning, she make a
mistake in the room, and, entering, gently
raised the bed,clothes from sleeping form
aad placed the poultice upon its stomach
The stranger leaped from his bed, uttering

MCCLELLAN AND THE UNION.


WHEN rose the gloomy clouds Of war,
And brother rushed at brother,
The hands so late IN friendship clasp'd
Drew swords against each other
Our country hailed with pride and JOY,
and every tongue was telling
The leaders name whose star had dawned-
The young and brave Mcclellan!
Around the Old Flag we viii rally like men.
Wen rally like men in the nOblest communion;
Mcclellan our leader. We'll rally again,
{ And vote to restOret the Old Union
The union Of lakes and the union Of lands,
% The Union which none shall disseyer;
The union Of hearts and the union Of hands
Our glorious Old Union foreYerl
But wild and hercer grew the strife,
And armies sternly meeting,
Stood face to face on mutual ground,
And thundered hostile greeting;
Then brighter grew his glorious name,
And patriot voices swelling, r.
Renewed the soldiers shout and cried
Our Lero is Mcclellan!
But envy aims at all that's bright,
And strikes the nOblGst quarry, .- .- -
So who but he our gallant chief,
Should dogs Of party worry;
But never half So pure and true,
(Hls fame enshTlned Is sWeIllngll
As when his foes their futile shafts
Shoot harmless at at Mcclellan.
Above the weak and faetious thrOng,
Whose transient power debases,
His trial shows him nObler still,
And every wrong but graces
Then here's to him, the just and brave,
Who, all his foemen quelling.
Shall vet redeem his country's cause,
Our hope and shield-MCCLELLAN
