A Plain Epistls TO Uncle Abraham.


Have message, Uncle Abe,
For your own private ear,
Az Ican't 60 TO washington,
I'd And a you won't come here,
I'm forced to put 1t into type.
With circumspection meek;
As bashfal members often print
A speech they dare not speak.
My head lie nigh to bursting, Abe,
Ny very eys-balIs thrOb,
To see Whist pesky work you make
About that little job,
Which you and Bill and Horace G.
Agreed 90 nice to do
10 less than "slxty days" from date,
Some thirty months agol
We gave You heaps Of soldiers, Abe,
To help you smite the foe
AsIring Of warriors that WOuldreaeh
From Maine to Mexico;
We packd them on with spades to dig,
And trusty guns 20 shoot,
With haversacks to grace their backs,
And fifes and drums 70 tOot.
You saw these mighty lseiOns, Abe,
And heard their manly tread;
You counted hOsts Of living men,
But who can count the deadi
Look Ger the broad Potomac, Abe,
yirginia'a hills along,
+, Their Takoful ghOsth are beCk'ning you,
Two hundred thousand strongl
We gave you several shinings, Abe.
Topsy your little duas:
Enough to buy q dozen shirts,
And sundry pairs Of shoes,
Wegave you cattle, horses, mules,
And wagons full . seorel
And severed cannon with q voice
Loud as buB could roari
Now, what I'm after, Unele Abe,
Is amply 10 ind out
What you've done with all this ERE,
And what you've been about
If unto Cesar you have given
All that is his concern,
Then Mrs. Cesar pants to know
What you have cone with hernI
You told US that the Democrats
Were "a seals to the core,
Because they made 50 free . use
OF Uncle samuePs store,
Full sixty millions in q yeari
Now wasn't IL sin
For Democrats to squandsr thus
Ihe darling peoples tim f
And are you not deserving, Abe,
Both gratitude aud grub,
For stopping this prodigious leak
Iu Uncle samuel's tubf
The sage Who did this wOndrous deed,
Is fit with saints to sup;
ItOnIy costs two milliuns more
To Plug the vessel up!
Your Cabinet is feeble. Abe,
And dull as any Ounce,
And ii yol Il, We an ounce of brains,
You'll ship them on At once;
serd Stanton to the Fejee Isles,
Give Wells and Chase the sack,
Swap Halleck for a notsentOt,
Aud send Tor Little Mack,
Now, that's the very thing. Abe,
That makes this din and clatter;
You don't appear to ''ses it," Abe,
And that is what's the matterl
The nigger's in the wood.pile, Abe,
As shy any trout;
Do you think the Proclamation, Abe,
Will smoke the weazel outi
You want to free the darkies, Abe,
At least, I 30 construe it;
The difIiculty seems to be,
To find out how to do it
The way. dear Abe, is mighty dark,
And bothersome to see,
fear You'll have TO give it up,
And let the darkey be.
tell you what it Is. Abe,
The folks begin to think
This eslored soup is rather stale,
For victuals OF for drink.
Our mothers love their absent sons,
Our wives their husbands true,
But no one cares q mouldy fig,
For Once or for you.
