CARRIERS ADDRESS to the

lis "PUsSY" Graves your car
lie would sing Jou song as you move alo
or the old, and the coming year.
Each face TINT meet to day seems gay
Gay with the flush OF gladness;
Go where will, glad greetings play
Not note do hear ofsadneSs.
Let the Carrier add his greeting, too,
To nli glad New Year,
(To great and small, girls, boys and all, }
Brimiull with love and cheer.
What though Wars desolation i
Rides on every gale that blows, n.
Desecrating land aud Nation.
Breaking hearts OF friends and foes!
What tho the dead and baried year 3d..
Went TO his grave in di'grace; g..
Shall we sickly grow with grief and fear
No! No! let joy assume its place!
0, we've had enough Of sorrow,
Let us not be grleved still /; "7
Grief may double on The morrow;
So to day we'll laugh our ill.
On with the merry dance oflie; ..
Beat pulse, throb heart and away!
Come no dark thoughts Of care and strife,
But Joyous be to-day. "' if .. 1".4
Tall ohOnF o,,er'5tI
We're as prosperous as can be-; ,,s.
Glory. honor, as a nation,
In the f1turc We can see.
Pockets tufT oftens and twentins, "f
Greenbscks plenty az the water
Who wouldn't be drafted man .
And fight for Abrams Daughtsr!
Have we not much TO be glad for
In our Country's present state? EI .
Have We aught now to be sad for
With prosperity so great!
Has not Meade retired to quarters
On the banks Of Rapidan,
Safe from the rebel enemy
Can they harm a single man?
What tho the bird Of carnage
Ger dead soldiers plumes bis wings;
Feeding on the flesh OF brothers,
While his gloating song he sings?
viii not the ranks soon fill again?
Men MS brave and bold as they?-,
Away with grievne; it is vain!
Htpe grows brighter every day.
Look at Liucoln's proclamation, p"
Made lew shert days ago, @.,j
To the wisdom OF the nation ..
Will it not subdue the foe?
Prate about tie Constitution.
And Of keeping it the Same
What if there are blood spots upon 1t,
Can't we wipe them out again?
Is truth SO awful brittle -....
In this worlds ripper flow,
That it will not bend little
IL Dir L1nCOtH Wills IL SO!
Then old Val the sympathiEer
Stops in Canada OF late; 'aa.n ...
Eats his dinner among Strangers
Isn't he worthy such fate?
Didn't lie strive to check this civil war,
That blood might cease to rain?
Didn't he proffer love to traitors
And don't lie desery, the name?
All; this is a glorious county!
Not like those across tho water,
From all that smells of intrigue free
| Virtuous Abrams daughter!
But pause moment while I sing g.,
Oi some past events at home;
A little song OF war I'll ring.
Of the time when Morgan come
With bis reckless, ragged l~nd,
Gathered in Southern land. .a
On they came with rush Of thunder,
Devastating, gathering plunder--
Swearing, tearit 6, burning, stealing,
Sans all faycr, Sans all feeling,
Like great devils full OF iun, -- d.
Till they came to Harrison! at. w
Then the people in their might,
Gathered on that Friday night,
Full Five Thousand strong, twas said,
To subdue the Morgan Raid, '.'.
You rememb r,when the word r
Ofhis coming first was card, a
low we all met in conclave .. '....
10 devise some means to save;
When brave men stood forth to go,
And bring us word OF the coming iosl
Nor can we yet forget the grief
When these brave men took their leave
Tears we've shed like summer rain
Prayers made that they again ....-
M light return wihou!a a stain,--
On they bucklcd sword and shield,
Forth they rode TO old Moorefleld; ...
Met the vanguard Of the zoe, r.Ge
AS it Numbered up the hill; ate
Saw his legions come and 60
Heard the rattle OF their steel;
Saw them splitting fire and flame, ~
Heard them yell their leaders namo;
Then ofrest themselves denying
Back they sped with traces flying.
Told The same tale every man
T0l it too with heeting breath;
CMorgM with his devilish clan,
Ten thousand strong unto man
Would soon be here with fire and deaf
"Thcn was there mounting in hot haste,
And swift The word went round;
Women each other madly chased
And bid their jewels in the ground:
Generals, Cclonels, everywhere,
Formed their plans with mastery care:
While Aides sprang up on every hand,
Like Rhoderic's clan to give command.
Swift we formed in ranks OF war, H
Lighted by the midnight star,
Marched to o"Georgetown nights" aiar;
Big and little weak and strong,
Generals, privates marched along.
Then when the eldest sunbeame came.
Gliding our guns with tints OF fame;
Twas then We heard the enemy's rattle,
Opened then the scene OF battle.
